00:29:24
Japan has been collecting snow this
winter to be used to help cool

00:29:30
areas during this year's
Summer Olympics in Tokyo but

00:29:37
lower than usual snowfall this year
has forced officials to rethink the

00:29:44
effort some of the work has taken
place in the mountain city of

00:29:50
Manami. In Niigata
prefecture north of Tokyo

00:29:57
workers have been trying to collect and
store snow to bring by train to areas where

00:30:04
a lympics soccer and basketball
events will be held the snow

00:30:11
is supposed to be used to cool
buildings organizers also plan to give

00:30:18
out the snow to

00:30:19
a limping visitors as they arrive
for events summer temperatures

00:30:25
around Tokyo often rise to
at least 40 degrees Celsius.

00:30:33
Organizers are also planning to use
misting machines and water stations

00:30:39
to keep

00:30:40
a limbic attendee's cool the
snow to cool structures

00:30:47
is not in Japan and some other
countries in Norway for

00:30:54
example the country's airport in
Oslo uses collected and stored

00:31:00
during the winter to cool buildings
in the summer usually the mountains

00:31:07
in Niigata receive some of the
heaviest snow levels in Japan but

00:31:14
this year snow amounts dropped sharply
they could end up being the lowest since

00:31:21
record keeping began in 1981
the information on snow levels

00:31:28
came from Japan's meteorological agency.

00:31:35
Is helping lead snow collection
efforts at the Menominee project.

00:31:43
Told Reuters we had to change the snow
gathering site from last year to an area

00:31:50
where we can expect more snow so
far the city has only collected

00:31:57
1400 cubic meters of snow
that is lower than the

00:32:03
2000 cubic meters it collected last year
when it tested the workability of the

00:32:10
plan. Along the Sea of Japan fell by

00:32:17
as much as 15 per cent

00:32:18
a decade in the years between 19622016

00:32:26
those numbers come from

00:32:27
a $2800.00 study by Japan's
Ministry of Environment. Michael

00:32:34
Mann is

00:32:35
a professor at Pennsylvania State
University he told Reuters that the climate

00:32:41
changes in Japan are part of

00:32:44
a much larger pattern of unusual warmth
around the entire northern hemisphere this

00:32:51
winter man added that he believes
this pattern is connected to

00:32:58
human caused planetary warming. Runs

00:33:04
a resort in the city of Nagano
which is next to Niigata He

00:33:11
also said he believes that global
warming is causing the drop in snowfall

00:33:18
there's very little snow about

00:33:20
a 3rd of what we get here every
year he said it's very painful

00:33:27
officials in Japan's northern city of
Sapporo are hoping to bring the 2030

00:33:34
Winter Olympics to that city Sapporo
hosted the Winter Olympics back in

00:33:41
1972 this past December
and January very little

00:33:48
snow fell in the area then
in early February it finally

00:33:54
arrived a winter storm dropped about
$34.00 centimeters of snow during

00:34:01
a period of just 6 hours local
officials welcomed the snow

00:34:08
but they continue to watch the weather
very closely as they prepare for

00:34:13
a possible Olympic award one weather
expert told the Associated Press

00:34:20
he thinks the lack of snow followed
by the large amount falling in

00:34:25
a short period may also be

00:34:28
a sign that the local climate is
changing. We often have this kind of

00:34:34
event said Dr Thomas Nori
Sato a professor at a kind o.

00:34:40
University however the magnitude
was abnormal this is maybe

00:34:47
because of warming
temperatures. I am Brian Lamb.

00:35:25
A lier Pharaoh remembers the doctor
who sent her to another doctor after

00:35:32
learning she identified as queer the
doctor who would not treat her was

00:35:39
a woman who specializes in women's
health for really Ledgerwood it

00:35:46
was

00:35:46
a doctor advising about things like
pregnancy prevention Ledgerwood was

00:35:53
designated female at birth but now
identifies as transgender and does

00:36:00
not have sex with men
transgender people have

00:36:05
a gender identity different from
that designated at birth for

00:36:12
term keys it is when doctors thought
he was sexually active with women

00:36:19
but he had no interest in having sex
with women when he was 17 years old

00:36:25
he's announced that he
was gay. Ask any l g b

00:36:31
t Q patient about their experiences
with doctor visits and chances are

00:36:38
they will have an unpleasant
story to tell the term l

00:36:45
g b

00:36:46
t Q is short for lesbian
gay bisexual transgender

00:36:53
and queer when doctors think all
of their patients are heterosexual

00:37:00
those who identify in other ways can
feel ignored they also are less

00:37:07
likely to seek medical care this can
lead to health problems including

00:37:14
high rates of depression suicidal
behavior alcohol and drug use and

00:37:21
ineffective health screenings
that information comes from l

toward offering non judge mental

reports that while most schools offer

l.g.b. T.q.

00:42:13
Courses have reported 3 or fewer classes
group discussions or other learning

00:42:20
activities and

a study of medical students

a serious lack of knowledge on l g b

a report on the study he is

00:42:40
a doctor and an associate professor
at Boston University's Medical School

00:42:47
St said that a bad experience with

00:42:50
a doctor 15 years ago when he was sick
made him want to join the medical field

00:42:58
when he told the doctor he was gay the
doctor became very unfriendly and then

suggested HIV testing left in

a young student at the time testing

but no one suggested tests for infections
more common among college students and he

never found out what his sickness was

00:44:51
Welcome to the making of a nation
American history in v.o.a.

00:44:58
Special English. Franklin Roosevelt's
New Deal policies during the 19th

00:45:05
thirty's changed the face of American
government. The new president and the

00:45:12
Congress passed legislation that helped
farmers strengthen the banking system

00:45:19
and supplied jobs for millions
of workers one of the results of

00:45:25
Roosevelt's policies was

00:45:28
a stronger movement of organized
labor in America. Sara long and

00:45:34
Doug Johnson continue the story of
the presidency of Franklin Delano

00:45:41
Roosevelt.

00:45:48
Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal
policies during the 1930 s.

00:45:54
Changed the face of American government
the new president and the Congress

00:46:01
passed legislation that helped farmers
strengthened the banking system

00:46:07
and supplied jobs for millions of
workers one of the most important

00:46:14
results of Roosevelt's policies was

00:46:17
a stronger American labor
movement. Labor leaders

00:46:24
had little success in organizing workers
in the United States during the

00:46:30
1920 s 3 Republican presidents and

00:46:35
a national wave of conservatism prevented
them from gaining many members or

00:46:41
increasing their negotiating
power in 1929 organized labor

00:46:48
fell even further with the beginning
of the great economic depression. By

00:46:55
1933 America's labor unions
had less than $3000000.00

00:47:01
members but by the end of the 1930 s.

00:47:05
More than 10 and

00:47:07
a half 1000000 American workers
belonged to unions new

00:47:14
laws proposed by the Roosevelt administration
made the labor growth possible

00:47:21
the National Industrial
Recovery Act of 1933 gave labor

00:47:28
leaders the right to organize and
represent workers the Supreme

00:47:35
Court ruled that the law was
illegal but another law the Wagner

00:47:42
Labor Relations Act of 1935
helped labor unions to increase

00:47:49
their power most of the leaders of
America's traditional labor unions were

00:47:56
slow to understand their new power
they were conservative men they

00:48:02
represented workers with certain skills
such as wood workers or metal workers

00:48:10
they did little to organize workers
with other kinds of skills. But

00:48:16
a new group of labor leaders used
the new laws to organize unions by

00:48:22
industries not by skills they
believed that workers would

00:48:29
have much more power if they joined
forces with other workers in the same

00:48:35
factory to make common demands
these new leaders began to

00:48:42
organize unions for the automobile
industry the steel industry and other

00:48:49
major industries the leader of
the new movement was the head

00:48:56
of the mine workers John l.

00:48:59
Lewis Lewis was a powerful leader with

00:49:03
a strong body and strong opinions he
had begun to work in the coal mines

00:49:10
at the age of 12. Louis rose to become

00:49:14
a powerful and successful leader of the
mine workers but he was concerned about

00:49:21
workers in other industries as well and he
believed that most of the leaders in the

00:49:28
American Federation of Labor were
doing little to help them for this

00:49:35
reason Lewis and the heads of several
other unions formed their own group to

00:49:41
organize unions by industry not by skills
they called their group the Congress

00:49:48
of Industrial Organizations the c

00:49:52
o and they tried immediately
to gain members the

00:49:58
c.i. O.o.

00:50:00
Successfully organize the workers
in several major industries but it

00:50:06
succeeded only by hard work and
struggle the c I O's 1st big

00:50:13
battle was against the giant automobile
company General Motors. Late

00:50:20
in 1935 workers at several
General Motors factories began

00:50:27
a sit down strike at their machines to
demand better pay and working conditions

00:50:35
after $45.00 days General Motors
surrendered it recognized

00:50:42
that the Automobile Workers Union
had the right to represent g.m.

00:50:48
Workers and they had agreed to negotiate

00:50:52
a new work agreement the struggle
at the Ford Motor Company

00:50:58
was more better Ford Company guards
beat union organizers and workers

00:51:06
but the Ford company finally agreed to
negotiate with the new union the same

00:51:13
story was true in the steel industry
but the new labor leaders succeeded in

00:51:20
becoming the official representatives of
steel workers throughout the country by

00:51:26
$938.00 the c.

00:51:29
Had won its battle to organize major
industries in later years it would join

00:51:36
with the more traditional American
Federation of Labor to form the organisation

00:51:42
that remains the most important
labor group in America today the

00:51:48
a f l c

00:51:49
o President Roosevelt was
not always an active

00:51:56
supporter of organized
labor but neither was he

00:52:00
a constant supporter of big business like
the 3 Republican presidents before him

00:52:08
in fact Roosevelt spoke out often
against the dangers of big business in

00:52:15
a democracy. These speeches caused
great concern among many of the

00:52:22
traditional business and conservative
leaders of the nation and Roosevelt's

00:52:28
increasingly progressive policies
in 1935 made many richer

00:52:35
Americans fear that the president
was a socialist a dictator or

00:52:41
a madman former President Herbert
Hoover for example denounced

00:52:48
Roosevelt's New Deal policies as
an attack on the whole idea of

00:52:55
individual freedoms. The
family of business leader j.p.

Morgan told visitors not to say
Roosevelt's name in front of Morgan

00:53:07
They said it would make his blood pressure
go up this conservative opposition

00:53:14
to Roosevelt grew steadily
throughout 1930 $5.36 many

00:53:21
Americans were honestly worried that
Roosevelt's expansion of government was the

00:53:26
1st step to dictatorship they feared that
Roosevelt and the Democrats were trying

00:53:33
to gain power as the Nazis did in Germany
the fascists in Italy or the Communists

00:53:39
in Russia the Republican
Party held its presidential

00:53:46
convention in the summer of
1936 the party delegates

00:53:52
chose Alfred Landon to oppose
Roosevelt for president Mr Landon

00:53:59
was the governor of the
farm state of Kansas he was

00:54:04
a successful oil producer with conservative
business views but he was open

00:54:11
to some of the social reforms of
Roosevelt's New Deal. Republicans hoped

00:54:18
he would appeal to average Americans
who supported mild reforms but feared

00:54:25
Roosevelt's social policies the
Democrats nominated Roosevelt and vice

00:54:32
president John Garner to serve

00:54:34
a 2nd term the main issue
in the presidential

00:54:41
campaign of 1986 was
Franklin Roosevelt himself

00:54:47
Roosevelt campaigned
across the country like

00:54:50
a man sure that he would win he laughed
with the cheering crowds and told them

00:54:57
that the New Deal had help improve
their lives in New York Roosevelt made

00:55:04
a major speech promising to continue the
work of his administration if he was

00:55:10
reelected up woefully will continue
to post the killing from the working

00:56:05
The Republican candidate Alfred Landon
began his campaign by saying that

00:56:12
many of Roosevelt's New Deal
programs were good. But he said that

00:56:19
a Republican administration could
do them better and for less money

00:56:25
however Landon's words became much
stronger as the campaign continued he

00:56:32
attacked many of Roosevelt's programs
the campaign became increasingly better

00:56:40
Roosevelt said his opponents cared
only about their money not about other

00:56:47
Americans I welcome their
hatred he said Landon

00:56:53
supporters accused Roosevelt of destroying
the nation's economic traditions and

00:56:59
threatening democracy the
nation had not seen such

00:57:06
a fierce campaign in 40 years
but when it was over the nation

00:57:12
also saw

00:57:13
a victory greater than any in its
history Franklin Roosevelt defeated

00:57:20
Alfred Landon in the election of 1936
by one of the largest votes in the

00:57:27
nation's history Roosevelt won
every state except Maine and

00:57:33
Vermont. The huge election victory
marked the high point of Roosevelt's

00:57:39
popularity in our next program we will
look at the many problems he faced in

00:57:46
his 2nd administration.

00:58:01
That's our show for today. But we'll
be back tomorrow same time same place
