9:00 am
i think my family needs the men who go to the extreme just to make a living. you have to be a strong swimmer otherwise it's safe and risking it all vietnam and this time on al jazeera. al jazeera. where ever you. could all be in doha with the top stories from al-jazeera a second attempt to impose a humanitarian ceasefire on a rebel held enclave in syria is due to begin shortly the first attempt on tuesday failed to stop the onslaught on east and brought up by government forces osama bin
9:01 am
gibb reports. when the bombs stop it was time to see what's left of the home day one of the five hour cease fire brought that the comfort to the people trapped in besieged east and. there's no food or water they always say there's a ceasefire but they come back in the bomb us the situation is really bad science is already high and we do not have money at the shelter shoes no food or water and we do not you warm. close to six hundred people have been killed in the latest onslaught hospitals have been hit and medical supplies are running out and suddenly the airplane came towards us my mother screamed get inside the house i told her i will wait for her and the missiles exploded. as jets roared above both sides accused each other of violating the truce even.
9:02 am
look this is the truce this is the ceasefire this place had fifty women and fifty children thank god they left before the airstrikes. ordered by the russian president the syrian government had agreed to hold fire but despite the violations moscow is optimistic about its plan. over the specific humanitarian corridor also have been saved through which aid will be delivered and medical evacuation will be carried out in the opposite direction also billions who are willing to leave will be able to leave in full compliance with the u.n. resolution to fall over a un force says. the back they can bring out the more than one thousand in urgent medical care but without the consent from all warring sides they still don't have a plan. and assistance. aid agencies including the u.n. are frustrated that since thirty words have not translated into action we are
9:03 am
within a day millions and miles distance from is that it would in the last unable really rule out food medical supplies that are desperately needed to bring to people in the area so this iteration is really highlighting satisfactory to say the least there aren't many people in willing to brave the buffet line crossing and even if they wanted to leave it isn't clear where will they go it wasn't like is there any aid worker i'm also sure they will stay there will be back here and there will not be at bat and even if you're not usually a little reach out for them there's not much faith in promises of help in this damascus suburb under siege for the last five years when even the dead are not exempt from destruction some of in job it out of the euro as you aren't there in the turkey syria border u.s. media are reporting the president's close advisor and son in law jarrett couche now has had his security clearance downgraded and all the white house aides without the

approved clearance will no longer get top level briefings the australian government has ordered the recall of more than two million cars with air bags made by the japanese firm to qatar it says it's not satisfied with the results of voluntary recalls carried out by vehicle manufacturers last year faulty to carter airbags have been linked to at least twenty three deaths worldwide. to imprison gross's journalists are appearing in the meanwhile court for another hearing today the pair were arrested in december they've been charged with illegal possession of state secrets they've been covering the violence against range of muslims in rakhine state one of christianity's holiest sites in jerusalem has reopened three days after it was closed because of attacks protest the church of the holy sepulture closed over plans to impose back taxes on church assets which have now been put on hold. the followings in south africa has passed a motion allowing the government to take private land without compensation the new president said run the post as promised to speed up the transfer of land to redress
9:05 am
disparities in ownership those are the headlines so far this hour the news continues here on al-jazeera after circle of poison have a quick summary in about half an hour to see if. environment doesn't know any boundaries you know dust and pollution from china settles in the us you know nuclear radiation from chernobyl went over iceland. what goes up into the environment goes around the world and ultimately this then layer of topsoil. maybe six inches of soil around this hard planet spinning in
9:06 am
space represents the dust of our ancestors all of human history and all the other creatures are in that soil and to contaminate that and the water supply in the air is an unforgivable sin it's something that we'll pay for as a species. in generations to come this senate agriculture committee is considering a bill that would ban the export of dangerous pesticides farm workers from abroad told lawmakers yesterday of devastating health problems from exposure to chemicals made by american companies close to reagan former morio zimbardo used to grow bananas for export to america until he believes the pesticides sprayed on the plants made him and eight hundred other workers and. he told a senate committee there were times when he virtually bathed in a chemical that u.s. companies and officials knew could render men impotent if a chemical is banned or unlicensed as too dangerous to use in america should it be
9:07 am
morally wrong to export it somewhere else aside from morality many experts believe americans are eating these pesticides can produce grown over see the so-called circle of poison. we know the circle of poison really started for me years before when i was in the peace corps in afghanistan and my wife and i were in this little remote northern town called tahlequah on has absolutely nothing to do there and. we were bored and one day we. up some food from the american embassy when we're in kabul and she was reading the ingredients on the kool-aid packet that she'd gotten which shows there wasn't a lot to breed in telecom and she said holy cow recycle makes in the us i said wait they're banned about u.s. government how could a banned substance end up in a poor country like afghanistan and so that started the investigation where i started to realize that systematically anything that was banned or heavily
9:08 am
regulated or restricted to run registered in the us was being allowed by the u.s. government and in fact encouraged to be sent overseas almost as compensation for the companies for losing the u.s. market. pesticides are pushed on grounds that it's a very modern way to do. i remember. years ago reading a book that india is under developed because it doesn't use pesticides and we've made poisons the measure of progress and catalytic this it's called god's own countries it is so beautiful it has some of the best health indicators in the world one hundred percent literacy. and you go and.
9:09 am
you know so. she actually got us into the world of. the issue of perception constable is a very unique case the first response in the past in back to her a series on animals. we have the disappearing of the dogs doing the chickens dying snakes dying in the in the in the planet's media. initially the people were really happy because the snake said they in the cause of dying so the nobody will know your color will come and catch you if you can so you're happy you can walk in the
9:10 am
plantation freely because all the snakes are gone but in a year's time they found that the chicken is also disappearing. to your spine bank they found that they can no longer keep dogs because the dogs again. suddenly you have the backs of this of your own human beings and when the impact became physically human beings like. the one we call the brain in the man. people born with old limbs in seven cases people born with their you and then there are things outside the body you named the human disorder which can happen to a body you see in gaza were. many actually bend down and understand the issue of. this is that anderson. the local community and generally they were not. there in fact it's a place they said can you know us. there is no source of other source of pollution in that area because except for standing so even also not a diesel and they discussed today that this effects on the level and then slowly
9:11 am
even the minister. and collecting the information they said only that now these things can happen. probably the signs and symptoms wasn't really ninety's like ninety one ninety two ninety three that's going to be here by someone it was a. child born with something but we see a lot of new ones born with. the child is not exposed but their parents are exposed . to the former that is happening today. in the cashew plantations of india dr and his mobile medical team visit survivors of one of the worst pesticide disasters in the wild. for the transition here or. he also is sort of scared by the.
9:12 am
move. and he didn't move. when i look i've you know saturday. a little online and you know come to an. annual. registration and here i. am going. and really they would like to live and then the young one. after but the fans noticed that. and not having not on the little man might make storms like an ending all of that some mean some activities. solo they've done
9:13 am
some dope and they've missed us he's having sort of a boss. what does i think. that is going to get it. but. then the. way. he can do that we. as often all we have played doesn't landed in this to be a peep show it could be added to possibly have an addition we have already had to have british done a bit of good years oh for the convience if we beat me this may be a city but a nice but we've got out and that you want to switch to having to simulate it get him to fix it in the end did you know we just wanted to have morning doesn't make a nomination.
9:14 am
and you know. what. i'm after the. main thing i want to. live in that i'm going to. see as an absolutely norman said before they expose the fantasy. hold which you know she's been in. this unit which. is the most liberal movement and. she was a six six years she was studying the second standard and she was running behind
9:15 am
and it's something it's just that she was twenty she was learning behind the illegal. if she has been dismissed before me dismissed problems in the table she was not i would read. into its source that she was not meant that that then she was absolutely normal she was able to handle because. then after spain see this collapse and became an. issue there.
9:16 am
so that even we got my camera ok and. say ok we're ok we're going to see. this is the some of this. the same stuff he's suffering from i don't know if i. saw for the national this header the fullest it will be as i'm going to all of a spectacle. of some kind living in cuba and. you perceive the u.s. government as one needs for the topics are starting to be demanded to do in the u.s. abandons to distill the news to the next will be to africa issue even after fifty
9:17 am
years they're doing the same be it is very unfortunate. forgat dropped from brain leader of the brain foreign gas bombs but the enemy rated it would gas against your community there is no report there are planning. before world war two there wasn't widespread use of pesticides there was reliance on some of the drug but during and after world war two when companies began to develop these chemistry for war they were looking for new markets for the same chemicals and so turned to food in agriculture after war and things like organophosphates which. where nerve poisons when then pushed into agriculture many
9:18 am
of them are still used mites might spread and. without war we would never pass decides that's maybe that's an irony maybe maybe not but one way or another way this is what we ended up with in the early seventy's it was clear we had problems health problems and environmental problems we've never experienced before thanks to pesticides that's when the us government in the act of fifty one provision of which allowed the continual production and manufacturing of pesticides that were not permitted for use here to be exported overseas that set up the whole regulatory loophole that created this allowed the circle poison to come true. limited data from the e.p.a. in twenty thirteen revealed that banned restricted an unregistered pesticides a manufactured in twenty three states to export only the e.p.a.
9:19 am
doesn't track the volume or final destination of these pesticides which are then applied to crops like coffee tea cotton fruit and vegetables and may indeed be imported back to the u.s. as pesticide residues on these foods the f.d.a. only inspects two percent of imported produce so the true risk to the u.s. consumer is unknown. there's a contradiction here because i think when you look at nuclear technology we're very careful in how we export that technology but you know i think one of the major concerns we've got to admit is that where we worry that an abuse of that technology or misuse of that technology will come back to her the united states in some way or another we need to have that same attitude with pesticides. you know when i step back and really think about the scope of what we've done it's been a giant terrible tragic experiment it goes way beyond past decides to especially as
9:20 am
lead paint flame retardants to all kinds of products drugs pharmaceuticals that were not properly studied and cleared for safety before we turned them into products all those products and all that export and all the damage that's been done for decades the first politician that really took notice of this was president jimmy carter when i reckon leave office had exhausted by effort to get congress to pass it but we had all the material to show that we were doing stuff and it was basically unscrupulous or illegal or international law codes but the manufacturers of these dangerous materials an item's or so powerful that they obstructed what i did so they were they i could do with issued executive order as a last resort and it precluded the distribution or sale of any material basically overseas that we couldn't safely present to consumers in america
9:21 am
i wanted the brand made in america to me to mean something. that i left office they descended over for president reagan while reagan and he agreed. to protect their rights they can take your selling. pesticides and clothing and on prove or disprove drugs. to people over say to some of the manufacturers to get rid of it and not to have a big loss. for the thirty years after i left the white house the issue is still unresolved and i would say that at this point they are powered employers all unscrupulous companies and their loggers. is even more powerful than it was when i was in the
9:22 am
white house. when we speak of the circle poison we most often think of the danger to american consumers we think of foreign grown food senator leahy was the first elected official after president carter order to try to stop the second poison by introducing three bills in one thousand nine hundred. twelve when i first suggested we have a lot of pushback. i lobbyists in the senate. we had people in the senate who realized that it was important to stop to circle poison and we passed. a once and had to house representatives want israel to work law and order. and they were able to stop it from being in the final we tried mightily work on saturdays weekends everything else. on the bill but could not get that part through
9:23 am
. there are very powerful interests to make a lot of money i sign things they know are contaminated and the fact that we might be able to make money and create a few jobs here and poison people in other countries whether it's a bet as best us or lead paint is something we shouldn't do that. it's rumor you just center. you're the lead op that allows all your members to be able to say i fully agree with you or i got what you talkin about that's correct. thank you mr chairman senator lugar i would like to. welcome the other six exact senior executives of n.a.c. a member companies to join me on this panel today. one of senator leahy's main opponents to the bill was cheever in midst of room has represented the pesticide
9:24 am
industry in washington for nearly three decades dance rhythms state an argument in one nine hundred ninety with senator leahy and others as it is today is that. we would rather that the united states be a principal source providing proper texan tools for farmers around the world and the incubator if you will for innovation for that kind of product development and the follow on stewardship that companies like those that are based here in the united states can and do provide over the years rather than having those needs served by product producers pesticide com. pounds from places other than the united states. do you think you'd find everything safe or do you figure to find a whole lot more violations. perhaps a little of both i will tell you when the agency undertook its investigation last year we did find a number of violations. and filed a number of cases against companies it was the first time that we had really
9:25 am
enforced j. vroom also had allies within the government linda fisher of the e.p.a. also opposed to suckle a poison bell so take the case to linda fisher she was an e.p.a. official who argued against a circle of poison bill during the first bush administration after that she went to work for months on top actually as a lobbyist after that she went back into government back as a high official of the e.p.a. in the second bush administration and since then she's become a high official at department is a perfect example of how the revolving door of officials moving in and out of government regulating pesticides and other toxics and then going to work for the people that produce. the big things are the things agra chemical companies that control upwards of seventy five percent of the global has to sign trade and the big six names are monsanto. dare suggest you conscious and b.s.
9:26 am
and those six global corporations really controlled in terms of food in farming. bucky that. you know they need to leave. your feet don't have to be. born in a cave but i. if women i guess will not go many of them we fall but it gets a lot of the same to be reminded that our how did he come from is sunday in south moonshot just emphasize on not that i was not an example but get out to me that game is now on the more they were asked what it was was he put them up and made a movie a card but i doubt that i was caught out that a spot of this. you
9:27 am
know my family is going to have a priest. he was far nine june funny in history and now. where the real me and says the. good with good of good in the beautiful how are you out of the building this i'm a metaphor for the cover of a well known love revokable i'm the one for his mom work her whole life in the fields and so before the pregnancy she was working in the fields and for the first few months i've. been married her big travel he had. to see a bill she said but. so he's been diagnosed with cirrhosis of children. with a man to comfort him or if it will be the travel that he will for the family i doubt we'd live in the interview been. a secret that he's
9:28 am
a result of the east out and out when he was born a little bit swollen but it's got him much awareness and he's going to see a good operation and mainly took a look at his liver and in june they said that he just has about three years to live and that there is nothing they could do anything you know. it really is something that of course deeply affects me as a human like all of us you know that especially as a nurse that i feel you know a deep need to stop. and you know i'm stopped to suspect that it's having on on children you know i'm not. all that.
9:29 am
the story of one of the most successful p.r. campaigns in the us. study after study has demonstrated that israeli perspective american media coverage what part of this case you get through your thick head is hamas a terrorist organization the only thing that you're going to say is what we want and if you don't say it when i go what you speak it would be very hard for her ordinary americans to know that they're being deceived the occupation of the american mind at this time on al-jazeera. the nature of news as it breaks there is a sense of the new toeplitz of president enjoys quite a deal with details coverage they are dodging distractions that appear to be hurting president trump's ability to manage the mideast peace crisis from around the world over one hundred thirty one thousand people are registered in a south korean database first separated family.
9:30 am
violence and discrimination are all too familiar to many women in india a reality too often reinforced by bollywood. but its leading star is throwing his weight behind because. they're looking to cut their jewelry and using his celebrity to advocate for gender equality. the snake charmers on a constant witness at this time on a. i'm joined on with the top stories on al-jazeera a second attempt to impose a humanitarian ceasefire on a rebel held on clay of in syria is due to begin shortly russia's partial truce is planned to allow aid in and get the injured art of peace and goods in the capital
9:31 am
damascus the first attempt on tuesday failed to stop the onslaught by government forces which is killed nearly six hundred people over the past ten days and there's no food or water they only say there is a ceasefire but they come back in the form of the situation is really bird voices are really high and we do not have money. no food no water and we do not. u.s. media are reporting the president's close adviser and son in law judge cushion has had his security clearance downgraded this means he will no longer get top level briefings. or straight his government has ordered the recall of more than two million cars with airbags made by the japanese firm carter says it's not satisfied with the results of voluntary recalls carried out by vehicle manufacturers last year faulty to carter airbags have been linked to at least twenty three deaths around the world to imprison the reuters journalists are peer in enemy unmarked
9:32 am
court for another hearing the pair were arrested in december and have been charged with illegal possession of state secrets had been covering the violence against ring of muslims in rakhine state one of christianity's holiest sites in jerusalem has reopened three days after it was shot because of attacks protest the church of the holy sepulcher closed over plans to impose back taxes on church assets which have now been put on hold again a sense government says little said no preconditions for peace negotiations with the taliban the announcement comes hours after the armed group said it was willing to talk to the united states to try to end the bloodshed in afghanistan. south africa's parliament has passed a motion that allowing the government to take private land without compensation you presidents or ram opposed has promised to speed up the chance of land to addressed disparities in ownership venezuelan president nicolas maduro has officially
9:33 am
registered himself as a candidate for. election opposition is boycotting the vote and calling it a fosse. of the headlines let's get back to poison.
9:34 am
when i step back and really think about the scope of what we've done is spent a giant terrible tragic experiment just decides up pushed on crumbs that it's a very modern way to do farming and we've made poisons the measure of progress. he gave any other half of his family to much of anything you want to get on him. and. he can encompass all. those born in the know about a higher. not ago here in the middle there are no good they are easy enough get
9:35 am
none for me and i'm going to also have. the time to hand among the naive thought in this way that i mean that i. don't want to be done thought of if even if. in a get out of a hat on a political man probably the most dramatic way to understand the difference between domestic regulation and the lack of regulation once you cross the border as it affects pesticide use and people is just south of the border in mexico take the sonora desert split down the middle by an arbitrary border between countries so one side pesticides that can't be used are being used on the other side they are used and there is evidence of the are facts. in one nine hundred ninety eight dr conducted
9:36 am
a study of pesticide exposure in mexico she compared the children living in the pesticide intensive yaki valley to those in the non-exposed hotels. after playing catch with the children and observing them dropping raisins into a bottle cap found disturbing differences in hand eye coordination between the groups of children. she. looked at four and five year olds and five and six rules and one of the things she asked them to do is drop picture of a person and found that the children in the non examples areas through people just like i think any kid anywhere you could tell they were people drawn by very young children many of the children in the highly exposed areas to pesticides just to scramble you couldn't even tell that they were people.
9:37 am
e u s n l r r g e in. the woman was on my list looking for men i was to go see the first one as usually you mean that you will be only one of the million. i'm in the thank you see plenty of time we've. all come over to see the people are real stories and not because you need. to be here but i want to write a script as warnings for melissa's don't like while bores are out there because you're honest. so i will do that but a mystic of. it can end up you can't because some prove to us of them at the docks of course.
9:38 am
it's a little bit about your level of the little visual earthly we're. a little bit in the book for it there's a pull him out of the illustration here. you. one of the best examples of a place where people are chronically exposed to chemical pollution is in louisiana between baton rouge and new orleans along the mississippi where there's one hundred fifty industrial facilities all along that corridor. in fact the industry calls it the chemical corridor residents they have a different name for it or they call it cancer alley.
9:39 am
in many communities especially here in louisiana you can look out of your bedroom window you're looking at a smokestack and you smell the toxic fumes on a daily basis we have lost historic african-american communities because of the toxic exposures from those companies warranting the relocation of those communities and the entire towns of these historic communities have been raised and only thing you now see if there's any found that they once existed might be their own cemetery grounds while the facilities have gotten larger and expanded into those historic communities that once lived and thrived in this area. there's a culture in the state that really gives the industrial corporations running these facilities a blank check. they pay nothing in property taxes they get to do their campaign contributions and basically elect whoever is going to be in the legislative control
9:40 am
of lawmaking in the state they have a lobby that denies and takes away rights of citizens in the state for health care for health monitoring in the event of a toxic exposure. so we're in a real sad situation in terms of the pallor that these industrial corporations have in louisiana and companies like monsanto along with. monsanto's of is like all big agra come a coal company is highly profitable and highly influential in political circles few years ago the complete. a hundred million dollars expansion of the round up plan for instance in cancer alley please welcome our governor bobby jindal and our first lady so pretty agenda. governor jindal whose wife is a foreman one son two employee praised the expansion of the round up plant in twenty ten every year since then this plant in cancer alley has had the most toxic
9:41 am
releases in the entire state. is really important to remember there's a real difference in any pesticide between is active ingredient which in the case of roundup for example is go ifas eight verses all the surfactants an urge to go into that full pesticide when it's sprayed and to demonstrate this research it had to ponds with frogs in them and in one pond you just put the active ingredient of roundup like to say and very little impact on the frogs in the next pond he put the whole formula devastation eighty ninety percent depending on the developmental stage of the frog of death in those frogs so that shows you the difference between just an active ingredient and the whole formula it turns out there that's are fact and that part of roundup that makes it stick to the crop was so fatal working with the other ingredients in in roundup so failed of those frogs so roundups legal by the way round up is in the band chemical so one thing that's important to consider
9:42 am
is on some levels it doesn't matter whether an agricultural chemical has been banned or restricted very much yet because we simply don't know what the negative effects of most of these chemicals will be over time they're not studied as complete compounds that are isolated neuro chemical tests that are performed on them of course are not studied and human beings that would be unethical so essentially it's a big experiment and we just don't know whether it's regulated that they're not shouldn't prohibit us from speculating and also investigating what are the effects of these little chemicals some of them may be as bad as the banned ones. a standard argument against. the health and environment and other regulations
9:43 am
in the country or for export is that it's harmful to business which of course it is i mean if bins can kill people freely a lot more profitable than if you have to pay attention to which to sing in the good effects on people and so on on the other hand if you do care about harming people above it's just a matter. of fact it's kind of interesting in this country that. the major industries like the lead as best as tobacco the chemical industries have so often succeeded for decades in the poisoning people with consciously you know the person who perfectly well the children are going to die of lead poisoning but you've got to make profit of course but when you get to export it's a little more vicious because here what's happening of course is. that the domestic population has become organized enough and active enough so they're saying you
9:44 am
can't kill us a so then the ideas if it will kill will kill people who are more vulnerable and that's what the export is but yes it's good for business and that it . he what i meant that i came back asking them had man done that in america a. get themselves a little out of. the last shot the legislator got only ninety thousand international month i mean i don't but i will king eco. nuts in the world just cheeky just a fun mark for matching the much of the answer the man like us anything. to modify my in the. video again i'll settle them all in mosul where the family even though. grant
9:45 am
the. most a grown up can't you know you know him to say. now did he so soon the so. yes so if you need them go again you on your by them and they're going to be looking to go get sued soon if a slow down was done though thank the media elite that us see. us in it with him all you know the my company has him so that i think look why didn't them immunity the super awesome he gave it to supply us is that us is the one they're gonna come by their pretty sweet idea guess you get the procuring no i don't think cigarettes on film would get us to do it us today i'm.
9:46 am
the wind me you know this you need to put up a couple in when i sample the game book and yeah you saw me put my pharmacy on it when you know. nobody except the amount that hit me on the. won't be out of it and the second fanatic then yeah. there with the i don't know if you know you have ideal family who. go on through thick and ideal again they have only hope that they have firm the he would never see the bay area when i say sunday the ninth. is a look at me. going to. get your mum lived on melanoma. that is actually on it on this yet then the a e can from a that any. many thing. that is not only you know beatrice. that's a class a may say this is. someone out another one of the month or month in
9:47 am
a sick. only and only for mushroom. on our city like a hornet. a second one before neither one of for me one for me i lined up all of the staff and was not done by the post doc and i mean that one in there for one moment and. you and she were this involved in time i said that it. must pass so they can say i love nothing other than by makassar as usual i mean it's ironic and i mean bass. residents of it is ingo reported cancer rates to severe that's what forty one times the national average in argentina. you're. going to source you on a saw. one of those when you i sent money.
9:48 am
and there may be some to. come. your way i met though a cable where i deal with dead people to look at the other thing then we had it. he said i normally will promote a book you know for a moment anyway and ross it will not end once you you know if he can as i noted. he also then known as i am a nominal then when i saw my mother to sign all of you you know the one image argument of a rich he went to yeah see you don't want to. see a man i support their life when only. going to get any at that he hooked me when i
9:49 am
get out of the hook. then i mean that will tell if one of your i met you not gonna lie or man medical center guy was simply hooked into the holocaust. despite these threats sophia and the mothers continued their fight they ultimately succeeded in getting a new aerial pesticide spraying within two thousand five hundred metres of homes. about two years ago the prime minister of bhutan invited me to help become hundred percent about it so what we've been doing in these two years is my team goes twice a year and works for the farms and the brittany's come and train at our farm and
9:50 am
that at the moment we practise an ecological and without it with no chemicals and we have no pests nothing at all we have lots and lots of insects but. to try. to make old local farms organic would make it the first country in the world to convert to a fully organic agricultural system and the sale of pesticides. has been almost very important because our country has very little land under cultivation and of the whole country and we have only about it percent of that understood actually edible and off that because of our limited human resources we only come to beating one two point nine percent of the land and to keep that percentage very low percentage of land cultivatable for a long time it is important for people to make sure that there's enough organic
9:51 am
matter so that the soil doesn't degenerate. because for generations this is only the length that we have to farm on and on to use it up in one giant. in and leave productive land for the next generation so it has always been a tradition that. is not out of. the blue john government has very very killie decided to not measure growth which measures only how much commerce takes place and of course you can have lots of growth by first creating best decides the pesticide industry makes lots of profits that's grow people get cancer the same pesticide companies sell your
9:52 am
