Brian and Betsy Liebenow love getting married so much, they do it every year on February 2.“We renew our vows and I wear my dress every year and we do it different places every single year,” Betsy Liebenow said.The married couple never takes their life for granted because they know just how precious life can be.“He barely got touched with radiation and this is what became of his radiation. This is all because of radiation damage. I think it’s because of the exposure of him being there in Uzbekistan,” Betsy said.Right after 9/11, Brian was deployed to Karshi-Khanabad – also referred to as K-2. It’s an old Soviet airbase located about 100 miles north of the Afghanistan border. He was only there for 70 days, but ever since, he’s had health complications.“Infertility, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, tinnitus, skin cancer, bone infections,” Brian Liebenow listed.That’s only about a quarter of the list. The Liebenows say they believe what he was exposed to has played a huge role in his rigorous health journey.“When I first got there, I was in an aircraft bunker where they used to store chemical weapons and nuclear waste," Brian said. "And after that, I was moved into tent city, and all of the tents had sandbags around them and the sandbags had sand that was full of radiation.”Veteran Mark T. Jackson, who also spent time at K2, says 40 percent of troops who spent time in Uzbekistan have some sort of ongoing disease like cancer. He says dozens are already dead from rare brain cancers. It was all anecdotal evidence, until environmental studies of the area done in 2001 and 2004 by the Department of Defense were declassified last month.“Upon initial occupation, within a few days, U.S. service members were getting sick and local contractors were sick and dying from the digging they were doing at this site,” Jackson said.Jackson says the Soviets who formerly occupied the land in the late 1970s weren’t good stewards of the environment, but the exposure to radiation and chemical weapons isn’t the issue. Rather, it’s the recognition and care for veterans years later.“Even knowing what we know now, we would still go," Jackson said. "It is the fact that the DoD has not provided official recognition for any veterans that have gone to Uzbekistan period.”According to Jackson, the only time a K2 veteran can get healthcare is when they’re sick. They can’t get preventative screenings for diseases like cancer. He says the word ‘Uzbekistan’ is not recognized by current federal regulations.“About 2,000 of our veterans -- so somewhere in the neighborhood of 20% -- of the people who went to K2 only went to K2. Which means that 2,000-person population, even though they’re veterans, if they’re sick, they can't get care. If they would like to prevent themselves from getting sick, they’re out of luck.”On its website, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs lists what K2 service members were potentially exposed to. The DoD conducted a study to look at cancer outcomes and found people at K2 are at a higher risk of developing certain cancers and tumors.However, the VA says those results shouldn’t be viewed as definitive evidence and notes that more studies are needed.Veterans who have health problems they believe are related to service at K2 are encouraged to file a claim, but those claims are decided on a case-by-case basis.The nonprofit Stronghold Freedom Foundation wants to ensure all K2 veterans are taken care of. Mark is the legislative director of the nonprofit. As of today, he says there are four separate K2-related pieces of legislation pending in the Senate.“The Department of Veteran’s Affairs since it was established during the civil war was established specifically to take care of every single person who fights for the United States, regardless of where that was, provided that service was honorable," Jackson said. "K2 veterans honored their part of that agreement. The government must honor their part of the agreement.”The National Defense Authorization Act – which outlines how funds are allocated for the Department of Defense each year -- must be signed by October 1st.“Recognize that these soldiers went, recognize that they did it that they volunteer to do it – all of them," Jackson said. "And they would do it again, myself among them, even knowing that we might get sick and die. Because that’s what you do. When you volunteer, maybe you get hit by a bullet, right? Or maybe the bullet hits you in 2003 and moves through your body over the course of the next 18 years.”The Liebenows say they consider themselves fortunate because Brian got sick while he was still on active duty. They’re determined to help other veterans get the coverage they deserve.“We’re ok," Betsy said. "We’re still here and we’re ok and we have a beautiful family and we get to do things. These other people are struggling.” 4854

BEIJING (AP) — The prospects for a preliminary breakthrough in the U.S.-China trade war improved Thursday after the two sides agreed to reduce some punitive tariffs on each other's goods, though the full extent of the rollback wasn't clear.A Chinese spokesman announced the development Thursday as talks on ending the trade war progressed, and it triggered a rally in U.S. stock markets.A U.S. private sector analyst with knowledge of the talks said there are still deliberations in the White House about how far to roll back the duties and what steps China must take before the reductions would occur. The analyst spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the talks publicly.The ongoing talks are aimed at working out details of a "Phase 1" deal that was announced Oct. 12. Financial markets had been rattled by reports that China was pushing for tariffs to be lifted, which posed the prospect of a breakdown in talks.Negotiators agreed to a "phased cancellation" of tariff hikes if talks progress, said a Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesman, Gao Feng, early Thursday."If the two sides achieve a 'Phase 1' agreement, then based on the content of that agreement, tariffs already increased should be canceled at the same time and by the same rate," Gao said at a news briefing.As for the size of reductions, Gao said that would depend on the agreement."We can be cautiously optimistic here," said Mary Lovely, a trade economist at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. "The signals that are coming out are moving in the right direction for a deal."The two sides are aiming to finalize the agreement by the end of next week, the private sector official said. President Donald Trump and China's President Xi Jinping would still need to agree on where and when they would formally sign the pact.As part of the agreement, the Trump administration would withdraw threatened tariffs that it planned to impose Dec. 15 on about 0 billion in Chinese imports, the source said. Those duties would cover smartphones, laptops and other consumer goods.Still unresolved is whether and how much to reverse the tariffs that were imposed Sept. 1 on 2 billion of Chinese imports, the private sector analyst said."The White House never speaks with one voice," Lovely said.On Wall Street, stocks closed at new highs in the wake of the encouraging report from Beijing but shed some of their earlier gains after reports emerged of dissension within the White House over the idea of lifting tariffs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 182 points to a record 27,675.Governments of the two biggest global economies have raised tariffs on billions of dollars of each other's goods in the fight over China's trade surplus and technology ambitions. That weighs on trade worldwide and threatens to depress corporate earnings and global economic growth, which is already showing signs of slowing.The Oct. 12 agreement was modest, and details have yet to be put on paper, but it was welcomed as a sign of progress toward ending the trade war.Lovely said that the agreement would help U.S. farmers and manufacturers — constituencies important to Trump in the 2020 election."It makes a lot of sense politically and economically for the president to say this is enough," she said.U.S. business groups largely praised the outline of the pact, saying that it would make progress in opening up China's market to foreign investment and to U.S. financial services companies."It's a step in the right direction," said Jake Parker, senior vice president of the U.S.-China Business Council. "It also builds momentum to tackle all the more difficult issues."The trade war has taken a toll on the U.S. economy. The Port of Los Angeles said Thursday that last month it handled 20% less cargo than the same month a year earlier. Exports have fallen for 12 straight months.Businesses have cut back on their spending on industrial machinery and other equipment amid the uncertainty created by the trade war. Those cutbacks have hurt U.S. factories and slowed annual growth to 1.9% in the July-September quarter from 3.1% in the first three months of the year.Trump agreed to postpone a planned tariff hike while lower-level officials hammered out details.Trump said China agreed to buy up to billion of American farm goods. Beijing has yet to confirm the scale of its commitment.China's imports of American soybeans and other goods tumbled 26.4% in the first nine months of this year following tariff hikes and orders to importers to find other suppliers.The Oct. 12 agreement helped to ease financial market jitters, but the two sides have yet to report progress on major disagreements over technology and other irritants following 13 rounds of talks.Trump and Xi were due to meet at this month's gathering of Asia-Pacific leaders in Chile but that event was canceled due to protests there.That dampened hopes a face-to-face meeting might produce progress. But U.S. officials say the two governments are looking for a different location.U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said this week any "Phase 1" agreement would be general and cover trade in specific areas such as soybeans and liquefied natural gas.More complicated issues would be tackled in later negotiations, Ross said. He gave no indication whether rolling back tariffs was a possibility at this stage.___Rugaber reported from Washington. 5430

Beginning Tuesday, anyone traveling to Hawaii must fill out a "Safe Travels" application, the Hawaiian government announced.In a news release, the government said the health information the travelers provide on the application would be a way for them to protect the health of their residents and visitors during the coronavirus pandemic.The new screening process will also include temperature checks upon arrival and secondary screening for anyone with symptoms or temperatures of 100.4℉ or higher."I am pleased to launch this digital app, which will allow our travelers to provide their required health and travel information before they arrive at the airport," said Gov. David Ige in the press release. "It will also help us keep in contact with those who are required to be in quarantine. This is an important step in preparing to reopen our economy."Currently, the government has visitors fill out two different forms: one for inter-island and trans-pacific travel."This [new] platform provides a one-stop-shop for both types of travelers," the government said.The way it works is that travelers will enter their information and travel plans 24 hours before their flight. They'll then receive a QR code via email, which they will scan at the airport upon arrival.Gov. Ige announced in early August that Hawaii would remain closed to tourists until at least October 1. 1379
