History lesson: Depleted Uranium still causing cancers


The UK sent Ukraine tank shells made from depleted uranium (DU), as part of Britain's £7bn military aid for Kyiv. 

But when US aircraft fired depleted uranium in Kosovo in 1999, it left a legacy of suspicion, linking NATO to cancer cases.

Declassified spoke to Kosovan activist Dzafer Buzoli about his campaign to protect the health of communities living near depleted uranium impact zones. 

Buzoli previously campaigned for justice after the UN poisoned refugees by housing them near a lead mine in Kosovo.
