Lentin Cheers TV crew that filmed BEMS Munich meeting....... Hi Klaus: I would be interested in learning whether anyone one your list might know the name of and contact information for the head of the TV crew that filmed the 2000 Munich BEMS Meeting. This person interviewed Dr. Reba Goodman and I think, Dr. Blackman and others. The video that was shown on European TV (French and German) also showed electromagnetic waveforms imaged by Stanley Barker (patent holder and inventor of magnetic visualizing device) from Philadelphia, Pa.

Online Phone mast is vandalised A telecommunications mast has been vandalised in County Tyrone. The mast, which stands in the Upper Cranlome Road area of Ballygawley, was cut down at about 1700 GMT on Saturday. The mast forms part of Northern Ireland Electricity's (NIE) communication system. A spokeswoman for the company said the vandals had put themselves at risk and left the company's communication system vulnerable. Local residents said the erection of the mast was responsible for cancer-related illnesses in the area. Police in Dungannon are investigating the incident. Detectives have appealed for anyone who was in the Upper Cranlome Road area at the time of the incident and who saw any suspicious activity to contact them. Many communities across Northern Ireland have campaigned against phonemasts over fears that low level radiation could pose a health risk to people living near the ariel. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/2577567.stm BBC News
Online Health fears over phone mast The mast forms part of NIE's communication system. People living near a telecommunications mast in County Tyrone, which was destroyed by vandals, have said they believe it is responsible for cancer-related illnesses in the area. The mast, which stands in the Upper Cranlome Road area of Ballygawley, was cut down on Saturday evening. The mast forms part of Northern Ireland Electricity's (NIE) communication system. It is also used by several mobile telephone companies. There have been a number of other people in that area who have had cancer and obviously local people are very concerned. Anthony McGonnell SDLP. Sinn Fein Councillor Sean McGuigan said the claims should now be investigated. "It would take a lot of correlation between doctors and hospitals and records to try and identify the number of deaths that have occurred and try to see if there was a particular thing linking those deaths," he said. "I think what has undergone in some other areas, south Armagh for example and north Belfast they are trying to do something similar at the moment with regards to telecommunications. Scientific research "Hopefully we could link up with those people and see how they went about it and maybe learn from their experiences." However,
speaking on behalf of all five mobile phone companies, Mike Dolan said
scientific research proves that mobile phone masts meet international
safety guidelines. "The science on this particular issue has been
extensively looked at by groups around the world and by the Stewart group
in the UK two years ago," he said. "That group which comprised
about 12 scientists from around the UK concluded that the balance of current
research evidence suggests that exposures to these SDLP councillor Anthony McGonnell said a local man in his 50s with seven children had died last week from cancer. He added: "There have been a number of other people in that area who have had cancer and obviously local people are very concerned that this epidemic is being caused by the presence of that mast." Police in Dungannon are investigating the incident. Detectives have appealed for anyone who was in the Upper Cranlome Road area at the time of the incident and who saw any suspicious activity to contact them. A spokeswoman for NIE said the vandals had put themselves at risk and left the company's communication system vulnerable.

Online Residents protest over phone mast Residents living in a village near Leeds are battling to stop a mobile phone mast being built, after four local people developed brain tumours. Scientists have not discovered a firm link between mobile masts and cancer, but residents in Bardsey are determined to stop what they see as an increased risk. Protestors temporarily stopped erection of the new mast last week when they blocked the entrance to a work access track. T-mobile, which does not have any other masts in the area, is meeting Leeds City Council on Thursday to press its claims for it to be built. Health worries The company say the protests were in response to a planning permission mix-up. But organiser Geoff Nun told the BBC it was the possible health risks that worried local residents. "In terms of possible health risks of mobile phones, we may be where we were in the 1950s with regard to cigarette smoking. For 200 years that was thought to be safe," he said. Resident Nicola Shires, who has a seven-centimetre brain tumour, does not want another mast. She told the BBC: "They haven't done enough research to prove the link one way or another. Confidence in safety "In the village at the moment I know four people who have had brain tumours including myself. "It all seems to be very localised, which does concern me." T-mobile spokeswoman Jill Kerr told BBC News Online that they understood villagers' concerns, but said mobile masts were not harmful. "We work within strict guidelines recognised by the World Health Organisation that are designed to protect the public," she said. "So we are confident they are safe." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2561119.stm Residents
to petition over phone mast Residents of a village near Leeds are calling on the city council to take "decisive action" against a mobile phone company building a mast in the area. T-mobile are in dispute with Leeds City Council over whether planning permission was granted for the phone mast in Bardsey. The company has suspended work while mediation with the council takes place, but has not ruled out plans to erect it in the future. Last week, protestors temporarily brought a halt to work at the site when they blocked the entrance. Health concerns Their opposition is based on fears that low level radiation from the masts could pose a health risk to people living near them. Scientists have not discovered a firm link between the antenna and cancer, but four residents of the village - which already has masts in the area - have developed brain tumours. The village's parish council has already passed a motion opposing any further masts in the district. Hundreds of local residents have signed a petition opposing the plan. "The petition demands of Leeds City Council that they take decisive action against T-mobile if they continue to attempt erection of this mast," said a spokesman. Leeds City Council met with T-mobile representatives on Thursday 12 December to find a compromise on the issue. A council spokesman told BBC News Online: "We are currently holding discussions with T-mobile to try and resolve this matter and work has ceased for the moment." |
