10:00 am
>> sorry about that, we had a break up from the sound from brussels with a sum up of what has come out g7 summit in brussels. standing shoulder to shoulder as they commemorate the affords of d-day landings in europe, helping to bring an end to world war ii. they've been talking. let's bring you straight back in, we've recovered the song. >> the people of the soviet union during world war ii and should we have the opportunity to talk, i will be repeating the same message that i've been delivering to him throughout this crisis. keep in mind although we haven't had formal meetings, i've spoken to him by phone repeatedly through the outset and my message has been very consistent and that is that russia has a legitimate interest in what
10:01 am
happens in ukraine, given that it's on its border and given its historical ties, but ultimately it's up to the people of ukraine to make their own decisions, that russian armed forces annexing pieces of a neighbor is illegal and violates international law and the kinds of destabilizing activities we now see funded and encouraged by russia are illegal and not constructive, and that there is a path in which russia has the capacity to engage directly with president poroshenko now, he can take it. if he does not, if he continues a strategy of undermining the sovereignty of ukraine, then we have no choice but to respond, and perhaps he's been surprised
10:02 am
by the degree of unity that's been displayed. i do think the fact that he did not immediately denounce the outcome of the may 25t 25th election perhaps offers the prospect that he's moving in a new direction, but i think we have to see what he does and not what he says. with respect to the future of the united kingdom, obviously ultimately this is up to the people of great britain in the case of scotland, there's a referendum process in place and it's up to scotland. the united kingdom has been an extraordinary partner to us. from the outside at least, it looks like things have worked pretty well, and we obviously have a deep interest in making sure that one of the closest
10:03 am
allies that we will ever have remains strong, robust, united and effective partner, but ultimately, these are decisions that are being made by the folks there. with respect to the e.u., we share a strategic vision to great britain on a whole range of international issues, and so it's always encouraging for us to know that great britain has a seat at the table in the larger european project. i think in light of the events that we're going to commemorate tomorrow, it's important to recall that it was the steadfastness of great britain that in part allows us to be here in brussels in the seat of a unified and extraordinarily
10:04 am
prosperous europe. it's hard for me to imagine that project going well in the absence of great britain, and i think it's also hard for me to imagine that it would be advantageous for great britain to be excluded from political decisions that have an enormous impact on its economic and political life. >> have you been surprised by the backlash that's been whipped up by your decision to do a deal to free bowe bergdahl and what do you think is motivating that? do you think you could have done more to consult with congress or announce a way that might have spared him and his family to be caught up in a political crossfire. prime minister, how do you respond to criticism that your
10:05 am
decision to meet vladimir putin and his meetings with other key european leaders are actually devaluing the punishment meted out to russia by throwing it out of the g8. finally, should qatar be deprived of the right to host the word cup, and if so, is anyone willing to host it? >> i'm never surprised by controversies that are whipped up in washington. that's par for the course. but eel repeat what i said two days ago. we have a basic principle. we do not leave anybody wearing the american uniform behind. we had a prisoner of war, whose health deteriorated and we were deeply concerned about and we saw an opportunity and wee
10:06 am
seized it and i make no apologies for that. we had discussed with congress the possibility that something like this might occur, but because of the nature of the folks that we were dealing with, and the fragile nature of these negotiations, we felt it was important to go ahead and do what we did, and we're now explaining to congress the details of how we move forward, but this basic principle that we don't leave anybody behind and this basic recognition that often means prisoner exchanges with enemies is not unique to my administration. it dates back to the beginning of our republic. with respect to how we announced it, i think it was important for people to understand that this is not some abstraction, this is not a political football.
10:07 am
you have a couple of parents, whose kid volunteered to fight in a distant land, who they hadn't seen in five years, and weren't sure whether they'd ever see again. as commander-in-chief of the united states armed forces, i am responsible for those kids. i get letters from parents who say if you are in fact sending my child into war, make sure that that child is being taken care of. i write too many letters to folks who unfortunately don't see their children again after fighting a war. i make absolutely no apologies for making sure that we get back a young man to his parents and that the american people understand that this is somebody's child, and that we
10:08 am
don't condition whether or not we make the effort to try to get them back. did you have a second question? >> for the prime minister. >> well, you can ask him about football. >> the issue, first of all, the issue of meeting president putin. i think he's right to have this dialogue particularly if you have a clear message to make. there's a world of difference between having a dialogue with president putin and excluding someone from an institution as significant as the g8, now the g7. i think it was absolutely right to exclude russia. i think i was one of the first g8 leaders to make that point. it was totally the right decision, as well as the meeting we just held that did not include russia and having a bilateral meeting to discuss the issues in ukraine. on the issue of football, we should let the investigation run its course, england is the home of football, and of many sports.
10:09 am
>> baseball, basketball? >> i'm not sure it goes all wait. >> i just want to be thorough. >> always happen to provide the homes. >> you did in vent the english language, though. >> you've made a few changes to it, but they don't hold us back. the final question. >> you spoke about the importance for you are and your allies to be in complete lock step on the crisis in ukraine. if this crisis shows no sign of deescalating, you say the next step will be sanctions. are you confident that you will be in lock step with all of the european allyion and g7 allies, because there will be costs and consequences for them and their economies at sanctions get widened. prime minister, my question to you, is you spoke forcefully about the threats of extremist t
10:10 am
idealogy at home and expressed there are hundreds of britain citizens learning to fight and kill in syria. with regard to extremist idealogy at home particularly in schools, don't you think it's not only unseemly, but wrong for members of your own government to engage in an arguments about whether pirates should be protecting british children against extremist idealogy? >> thank you. first of all, let me just say on the issue o of sanctions. i think it's been striking over the last few months how we've been able to stay as unified as we have, and i'd pay tribute to barack for his understanding of how important it is for us to try and work together and deliver these messages together. i think it surprised people and i hope it surprised president putin. in terms of tackling extremism, i set up the u.k. extremism task
10:11 am
force which i chaired after the murder of lee rig by because i wanted to make sure the government was doing everything it could to drive extremism out of our schools, colleges, off campuses, prisons in every part of national life. i think it's very important that we recognize that you've got to deal not only with violent extremism, but also the sink of extremism, of tolerating extremist views from which in tolerance gross. the government is driving through changes to deliver that agenda. as for these issues of the last day or so, i will get to the bottom of who said what and what has happened and sort it all out once i finish these important meetings i'm having here. >> i think what has been striking i guess the degree of solidarity between the united states and europe in dealing with the ukraine crisis. i think a lot of people
10:12 am
anticipated very early on that immediately the two sides would fly apart, and in fact, there has been consistency in affirming the core values that have been at the heart of a united and prosperous europe. that's despite the very real economic consequences that can arise by applying sanctions against russia. i think europeans understand that the reason we've seen such extraordinary growth and peace on this continent has to do with certain values and certain principles that have to be upheld and when they are so blatantly disregarded, you know, the choice is clear. europeans have to stand up for you know, those ideals and
10:13 am
principles, even if it creates some economic inconvenience. now, having said that, sectoral sections bradder, they'd be more significant. our technical teams have been consulting with the european commission to identify sanctions that would maximize impact on russia, and minimize adverse impacts on european countries and that work is ongoing. my hope is that we don't have to exercise them, because mr. putin's made some better decisions. i think by the way, it would also be better for russia, because the russian economy is not in good shape right now. we've seen significant capitol flight just fromment sanctions that we've already applied. that could easily worsen, and if we have sectoral sanctions, i think it will inevitably hit russia a lot worse than europe,
10:14 am
which has much more diversified and resilient economies. do i expect it to be unanimous among the european members? i've learned about the european union, commission, council, sometimes i get them mixed up. >> welcome to the club. >> but the basic principle that if you've got 28 people sitting around a table, then not everybody's going to agree, i think we take that for granted. i also think that if in fact we have to move to as h sectoral sanctions, make sure everybody is ponying up, bearing their fair share. some people are going to be more concerned about defense
10:15 am
relations, some more about the financial sector, others more concerned about trade and basic goods and services, so that's the technical work that is being done. again, my hope is that we don't have to use it, but i've been heartened by the steadfastness of europe thus far. i think people underestimate the degree to which given the history of this continent, certainly in the 20th cent we, that people are not interested in seeing any chinks in the armor and they recognize that that's worth working for. all right? thank you very much, everybody. >> you've been watching the news conference there with the u.s. president barack obama and british prime minister david cameron in brussels after the g7 summit. they've been talking about events in ukraine and both stressing that the continuing
10:16 am
destabilization of eastern ukraine as they put it by russia must stop and stressing that there would be further sanctions if that didn't happen. jonah has been monitoring events for us. obviously they were putting a lot on to the fact that these are allies and that this comes in the context of the 70t 70th anniversary of d-day landings. questioned with quite strong words on o ukraine. >> much of this meeting, this two day meeting that focused on ukraine. they've been talking about it now for quite some time. there was nothing new in policy but more of a reinstatement of policy, existing threats toward russia. there was condemnation of russia's interference in sovereign affairs. president putin we just heard speaking a little while ago, noting however, that russia and
10:17 am
president putin -- obama, burned, may be about to change tact, maybe some way heading on a new course, noting that he didn't come out and reject outright the election in ukraine on may 25, noting that he has partially withdrawn his troops from the ukrainian border, but president obama saying we must see what he does, not what he says. we'll be watching putin's actions, he said over the coming weeks and if he doesn't change course, we've indicated the actions that we'd be prepared to take. those kinds of actions include the so-called sectoral sanctions, much deep are than anything that has come before. if he doesn't immediately recognize the presidency of poroshenko, if he doesn't stop the flow of arms and fighters into eastern ukraine, if he doesn't use his influence to try to put down the separatist movement in eastern ukraine. does he need to be worried about
10:18 am
this? there are already sanctions in place, asset freezes and visa bans on certain individuals, of course this meeting itself is a sakes after russia was kicked out of the g8, but trade and economic sanctions are an entirely different game, because they stand to hurt certain countries in europe very badly, the e.u. is russia's number one trade partner, the e.u. gets a third of oil and gas needs from russia. two of the countries hurt hardest, italy and germany are members of the g7. that is perhaps why we herd from angela merkel who streeled that the solution they hoped for should come from dialogue, not further sanctions. >> you mentioned russia was thrown out of the g8 as punishment, but they are talking about a possibly diplomatic solution. >> they are all now very focused on this idea of dialogue and
10:19 am
diplomacy, issuing threats of further sanctions but want to try to find a way to talk all of them out of this problem with russia over ukraine. they all move eminently to france for events marking the 70th anniversary of d-day. president putin himself will be there, so will president he collect poroshenko of ukraine. we know there will be face-to-face meetings between putin and the leaders of the france, britain and germany. there aren't scheduled meetings between president putin and president obama. president putin said we'll all be there and i don't in tend to avoid anyone. the talking will get underway pretty quickly now. >> reporting from brussels, thank you very much indeed. >> western leaders may be threatening russia with more sanctions but that hasn't stopped the advance from separatists. part of the border is unguarded after pro-russian separatists took control of key border
10:20 am
posts. there have been reports of skirmishes an the airport there. they now control a national guard base and a border guard post in the city after ukrainian forces abandoned the sites. six separatists and 11 ukrainian soldiers are known to have died in fighting there. many citizens have fled the area. >> the fact that the separatist fighters overran if border guard base after a fierce firefight is not just a humiliating defeat for kiev and its anti terrorist organization as they call it, it's got serious strategic consequences. this is the baits they coordinate the russian border crossings. there is where they communicate with the border posts, now empties and they've got no way of communicating with the border guards anymore. that means a large blind spot is opening up on the russian bored are. it means the people in kiev, the government in kiev, the security services no longer have eyes on
10:21 am
parts of the russian border. now the separatist fighters say for them, they're trying to create a humanitarian corridor to control safe passage for the women and children, something that moscow has been demanding and the kiev government has spurned so far. a safe way through the front lines that are closing in at the moment. the women and children are being bussed through the russian border and then taken to crimea, and now the separatist fighters do have control of a corridor coming out of the area into the russian border and kiev no longer has eyes on what's happening. of course traffic is always twoies 18 people have been killed in iraq during clashes between security forces and fighters. violence was reported just north of the capitol, baghdad. several districts of the city of controlled. the situation remains tense as the army sense in reinforcements with the death toll expected to
10:22 am
rise. >> the prosecution is asking for the maximum possible sentence for three aljazeera journalists held in egypt for the past 159 days. the three are in court for the 11th time. they're excused of supporting the outlawed muslim brotherhood, allegations that aljazeera strongly denies. the defense argues there's no evidence against them. aljazeera is demanding they're immediate release. >> aljazeera's ban from reporting in egypt, but cnn has been following the proceedings for us. he gave me this update. >> for the past couple of hours, the defense has picked apart the prosecution's case. remember, over the past few
10:23 am
months, the only evidence, if you want to call it that, that the prosecution has presented has been old video clips, video clips of news conferences, news reports, sometimes news reports from outside of egypt. they presented pictures, sometimes personal pictures, items that would seemingly be in the possession of any journalist and items that seemingly ever nothing told with the serious charges that these journalists face. the defense's position is they failed to present any evidence linking these individuals to these crimes. even sow, despite the sparsity of evidence, the prosecution alleging that aljazeera has made an alliance with the devil and along with the muslim brotherhood, the prosecution earlier today also calling for the maximum sentence, saying that anything other than the maximum sentence would drown egypt in darkness. so you get an idea of the rhetoric that we're hearing today inside the court. we'll see what the rest of the day brings.
10:24 am
>> another aljazeera journalist has had his latest court hearing postponed until june 11, held without charge since august last year, and has been on hunger strike for more than four months. he insists he won't break his fast until he achiefs freedom. his hearing may have been postponed because he is not well enough to attend court. >> general motors found senior executives were not to blame for a delayed vehicle recall involving defective ignition switches linked to at least 13 deaths. at a company meeting in detroit, the g.m. c.e.o. mary barra apologized and said the company accepts responsibility for its mistakes. she announced that the company will start a compensation program for those hurt or lost a family member. the move to spare top executives from blame ma drawn sharp criticism. we go to detroit. is this going to help g.m., make any difference to their public
10:25 am
perception? >> what's very interesting is that g.m. c.e.o. mary barra described this report at very troubling, saying it reveals a pattern of incompetency as well as neglect that ultimately put customer safety on the line. as a result, 15 people have been fired within the company, and five people have been disciplined. now, this ignition switch defect, it has been linked to more than a dozen deaths and multiple crashes and the automakers today said they are setting up a compensation program for victims. mary barra addressed over 100 employees, and there appeared to be an overall theme right now that is that they are going to do whatever they can to do right by their customers, and they also will take the necessary measures to assure that nothing like this happens again. as it comes to the image, g.m.'s
10:26 am
image, what's interesting over the past couple of months that all of this has kind of boiled over, their sales have actually been able to maintain. they've actually soared last month in may, so some marketers are saying there's still consumer confidence in general motors, because most of these products, all of them, actually aren't even being built anymore and they kind of see it as the old general motors versus the new one which is headed in a different direction. >> you mentioned the prospect of compensation for some people hurt or the families of those who were killed. do you think that will satisfactory them? >> a lot of victims have come forward. there has been talk about class action lawsuits. i think when it comes down to human life, you really can't put a cost on that, so it will be interesting to hear what the family members of some victims who lost lives in these general
10:27 am
motors vehicles will have to say. >> thank you very much indeed for joining us. canadian police have commandeered armored truck and advised citizens to stay indoors as they search for a gunman described as armed and dangerous. officers were killed in the province, two others injured. >> china's government sentenced nine people to death on terrorism-related charges in the countries northwestern region. 81 people have received sentences in what officials are calling an anti terror crackdown. >> last month, the government promised a year long campaign against terror, after 39 people were killed in a suicide attack. in the past year in the area, which is home to mainly muslim majority has seen an increased
10:28 am
violence. >> israeli will built 1500 for settlement homes, following the inauguration of what he terms the terrorism government. the israeli moves are said to signal the end of the peace process. >> they're trying to impose greater israeli on palestinian lands using calculated unilateral measures while blaming the palestinian side. the palestinian unity government has merged and such an israeli action in the form of settlement witness as well as carrying out the complete settlement expansion plan in order to kill the two state pollution and destroy the ability to build a palestinian state. >> in ireland, there is an investigation into the discovery of a mass grave containing the bodies of 800 children. the remains were found in a sewage tank at a home for unwe
10:29 am
had mothers. records show the children died from malnutrition or infectious disease. the roman catholic church instructed the order it must cooperate with any inquiry. >> i suppose we can't really judge the past from our point of view and from our lens. all we can do is mark it appropriately and make sure there is a place here where people can come and remember. >> mass protests are on for a third day in pakistan's biggest city after the arrest in london of a senior pakistanie politician. he was detained on suspicion of money laundering, the leader of the powerful mqm movement which has strong support. >> 70 years ago this friday, ally's forces captured the french beach head in nor man di that led to the defeat of nazi
10:30 am
10:36 am
10:37 am
i had to fix my daughter's nintendo dx. people are realising, like sherry and mark says, the tools are accessible, it's possible to do amazing things if you have the patients and time, and there's a graving to do something meaningful with your hands. you go to wal-mart and you can get anything you want, really cheaply. in some ways it's wonderful that the mass produced product are available anywhere. there's an emptiness to that, that people feel like, you know, my parents or my grandparents built stuff in their garage, or i made stuff in the kitchen. >> sherry, that makes me think when we were kids, you had home
10:38 am
ec, shop, pottery. what has it done to us, taking all those things out that get our hands on something and establish the connection between how things work and how we make it happen? >> right, i think that that's the rise of, and why maker fairs are important. it's brought the celebration back into the community. i think places like tuck shop or maker space are helping to pull people together so they can collaborate and come up with new ideas. it's been a sthax spa that we -- it's been a shame that we haven't had the classes in school, and we see it through maker programs and education. dale is a cofounder of o'reilly media started maker education, teaching college students to
10:39 am
come in, and they are going out into the community. >> was that tech shop video we were looking at, what was that a minute ago? >> it could be. >> i'm told it was. that's a big place. >> 17,000 square feet of every everything. equipment. >> eight locations across the u.s. >> sherry mentioned maker spacers or hacker spaces. tech shop is incredible. it's like there are these independent noncommercial spacers, hacker spacers . that's a big part of the movement. you go to these places and without paying you an use the drill press or someone could teach you to code.
10:40 am
there's information sharing and tool sharing going on all over the world. that's an important part of the maker movement. >> we asked the community what inspired the most. dennis said a lot is driven by need. amy - it's about curiosity. and: >> there you go. >> what would you do with an empty wine bottle and woir. >> since i'm a te tote ler, i have no idea. i'll probably throw it. >> we'll meet a modern day mcgaver who transformed those items into a small business.
10:42 am
>> welcome back. we are talking about the rise of culture. joining us is ben, founder of home-made mod earns, a business, teaching consumers how to create products. welcome to "the stream." your company was born out of a bet much what was the wager? >> my background is in design. i was talk to to an architectural design friend and he was saying it's impossible to make affordable american-made furniture out of real materials. everything is outsourced and you can't compete with factory production. i bet you can produce furniture. get it to people. that was cheaper on ikia. we did that, we shared diy media constent. >> where is your company at now? how has it gone for you? >> it's been a lot of fun.
10:43 am
still slowly transitioning into a full-time thing, but the feedback from our users has been incredible. so motivating. >> that's great. >> we have two big sponsors, and it's become an effective means of creating advertising consent. >> ben mentioned an idea of made in america. it feels like there's a wave of this desire to have and buy things made in america. do you feel the maker movement is pushing to a return to strong manufacturing in the u.s. >> we have a lot of things working in that way. the energy costs are cheaper than elsewhere. there are trends like microcontrolers. robots that don't care how complex anything is. you can do short runs. if you tap into a sophisticated
10:44 am
supply chain, add in robots or computer numerically controlled machines, you can produce 1 huz or 5,000 in a -- 1,000 are or 5,000 that you could not before. you can use materials relevant to the lobing aing market and compete with anyone on the planet that way. >> thank you make shop for an amazing workshop for the students. thank you for sending in the photo. we have black swamp: >> still better than what i could do. we have: >> speaking about economies, we have the director. make a fair. offering opportunity for us to see ourselves as consumers. you are the director. what are tangible benefits from
10:45 am
the maker movement, that they can provide for small entrepreneurs. >> there are over 100 fairs around the world. this year we are looking about 140. it gets you connected and other people that can help with you from everything from funding, setting up a business to enabling communities. i see her running film and video from maker fair. it's like - it's a new-fangled fair. lisa mentioned something about nostalgia. this is what it's about. it's coming together. it's sharing. it's celebrating and it's having some fun. there's an optimism that comes from maker fair and making. you can't find that everywhere. so i know through tech shop or
10:46 am
what you can make tore do things round to maker spaces. they are actually putting it into the classroom. >> all of you guys worked successfully. who are some of the makers, and what was behind the thinking? >> we like to say because the tools have gotten easy to use, we can run you through your own personal industrial revolution in 90 days, so take time off, come in, go to a maker space. literally it takes 90 days. >> i might show up. >> then we have over achievers, like patrick saying, "what classes do i need to take to make an ipod case out of bam boo. in 90 days he'd sold a million dollars worth.
10:47 am
this was a computer numerically controlled cast. beautiful book binding material from a text tiles class. he did $35 million in year. >> does anyone specially use it. >> the president of the united states carries a case, jay z. >> give us another one. >> what is else have you got? >> the most successful country is square. the little pier to pier transaction merchant banking system. the cofounder came in, took the milling class, learnt to make the prototops, and they got $10 million in series a and got a $5 billion evaluation, 600 employees. they'll do there 60 billion. >> jack - james' background is a glass blower from st. louis. we live in a day and age where
10:48 am
james can go in, take a few class and change merchant banking. my favourite, this came out of a stamford d school. jane and her team came in, after school was over, and they lost access to the cools and came in and affected the blanketed. there's a polymer pouch in the back. it keeps babies at the proper temperature. it's designed for neo-nates. it had been born two weeks too early. literally hundreds of thousands of babies die annual lip, and the idea is -- annually, and the idea is simply. it keeps a baby warm for four hours. jane chan was named one of the top social entrepreneurs of the year by the world economic forum, and this is on track to save 100,000 babies. >> these are the amazing innovation.
10:49 am
here is a comment: >> check this out. this is a harmless drone. bill, mark and i talked about this metaphor, the wild, wild west of innovation. we are talking about 3d printed guns, people making drones. aren't you concerned about the rogue element here? >> you know, i think with any technology you have the aspect where anything that you can - that people can do without oversight, they'll take it in whatever direction they want. and there are people out there who are making and sharing perhaps for making, you know, making gun parts out of 3d printers. i think that exists. it's probably a real concern at one point. i don't think it represents a
10:50 am
majority of the maker movement. to me, it's sort of like - there are always going be people pushing a limit in one direction or another. i don't think it's a reason to be enterprise. >> the idea about unmanned vehicles you can make, there are a lot of people trying to do good with technology and making baby incubators blankets. i major you came across some people with social aspects for what they are making. >> absolutely. i think on the drone area. the categories that are trending are 3d printers, and what can be done there. wearable. anything from electronics embedded into clothing to sensors, you name it. drones. i think chris henderson with 3d robotics did a great job of going from crisping editor and
10:51 am
founder of wired to 3d robotics, and making drones something that are not seen as, you know, terrible things, but actual tools and technologies that cap help us as we move forward. single board computers, as markus said. >> there's a whole host of things. baby blankets. a woman in detroit. she worked with cart heart to get excess material to make sleeping bag coats for the winter, to, you name it, there's ut. >> it's endless. >> with the rise in innovation that can result, what is the future of america look like. we'll have more on that when we come back. vé
10:54 am
>> welcome back. we are talking about the rise of do it yourself culture, and what it means for the future of innovation. how do you think it will impact the quality of the products entering the marketplace. will we see a rise in the sophistication of things created operations? >> absolutely. and i would say not only sophistication, but last year there was - the first maker fair, and i have to say there were 35,000 attendees. we saw design taking off front and center. in addition to very cool products, we have cool products that are well designed. i think that we are starting to see a little bit of healthy, you know, competition between countries and maker's fair. coming. >> how do you see the evolution,
10:55 am
do it yourself taking place. what's on the horizon? >> i think a couple of things much one is a hobby from most people that do diy stuff. i think it has the potential to revolutionize, at least in the u.s., revolutionize the way we do technology. it has to be easier. right now in the u.s., at least, it's difficult to find manufacture usering, price competitive with what you can get from china. the other thing is it's daunting to start a business. when you go from the prototype to i have a business and i have 4,000 or a million orders to fulfil, it's a daunting jump because of regulation and complexity and overhead. >> a lot of this may sell out. one viewer says:
10:56 am
>> ben, i want to get you in the conversation. if emerson was alive he may sell pepsi and coke. are you afraid the maker movement may become corporatized. >> no, i'm not. i don't think it's a new thing. when you think of recipes shared for decades, things like the toll-house cooky. it's slapped on to a bag of chocolate chips. i think the companies are starting to realise that this kind of media content is an effect ty way of driving consumption. the big advantage is that it allows consumers to be selective and consien somehows. we
10:57 am
