i mean make your way only. president trump and the saudi crown prince mohammed bin some months speaking there after their meeting announcing billions of dollars worth of arms the old let's go to alan fischer at the white house and no surprises there in what they spoke about you know the talking about sodium investment particularly the money that they're going to put into the defense industry when donald trump returned from his meetings in saudi arabia in may last year that was the one thing you said had been a huge success also talking about the funding of terrorism saying that if anyone was discovered funding terrorism then he would simply cut all relations with them so he's essentially setting the agenda that we expected him to set out talking about iran as well seeing that there's a lot to be dealt with over that is obviously an issue that will we hear a lot about over the next few days. alan fischer with the latest from outside the

white house for the moment allan thank you and we'll of course bring you more on that meeting when we're back in half an hour with more news coming up next though it's techno thanks for watching. this is techno a show about innovations that can change lives the science of fighting the fire we're going to explore the intersection of hardware and humanity and we're doing it in the unique way. this is a show about science blow not scientists. tonight techno investigates shrimp safety the seafood by nature is

a high risk commodity for americans love their shrimp but most of it comes from countries that use expensive antibiotics that could make you ill now techno goes inside the federal testing program american food policy. that's supposed to protect the food supply doctors should be some are a is mechanical engineer she will share the results of her investigation to how dangerous is that for human beings in until torahs i'm an entomologist visit a shrimp farm in the middle of indiana yes indiana that could revolutionize the industry well this is like a little laboratory here yes it is and i'm sure a terrorist santa maria is a neuroscientist. imagine that you are one of the first to take a trip to mars. this is the definition of pioneering that's what makes it exciting that's our team now let's do some science. yes.

hey guys and welcome to techno on phil tours joined by dr shinee so mara and. because of one of my favorite things is shrimp sizzling away on a hot grill but i also have a fair amount of hesitation when it comes to actually knowing where the truth comes from and you may not realize it but shrimp raised overseas can have high levels of antibiotics and other additives that don't always pass american safety standards and america imports a lot of shrimp ira billion pounds worth so we asked the food and drug administration the agency responsible for policing us ports if we could follow them while they test unsafe shipments. america has a jumbo appetite for shrimp it's a little piece of flesh that they can eat easy it's kind of like popcorn of the sea

americans it's an average of four pounds passes. at fred sixty two. chef fred eric serves a lot of shrimp it's very difficult as a chef or a restaurant or to buy shrimp with the confidence that what you're serving them is going to be good tripod right which. americans taste comes with a price. ninety percent of only shrimp eaten in the u.s. is imported. much of it from countries like india thailand and indonesia sometimes trip is raised overseas using production drugs like antibiotics that are proof for use in those countries but not approved for use in the u.s. johns hopkins microbiologist david love surveyed federal data on drugs found in imported shrimp some of the top drugs that we found in shrimp were fewer and

chloramphenicol tetracycline itself on a mids and instruct in mice and what does it mean for the consumer to be exposed to antibiotic resistant bacteria if you get an infection from these bacteria it can. hard to treat using antibiotics especially if these bacteria are resistant to the antibiotics that your doctor would prescribe you the shrimp farms that use antibiotics often farm with overcrowded ponds and diseases are a big deal in term farming there's a can be a high mortality rate in some shrimp farms. where. the food and drug administration polices shrimp imports. five point five billion pounds of seafood is imported into the united states every year and much of it ends up in a cold storage facility like this one in southern california but only

a tiny fraction of all of that seafood is actually inspected so we've come here today to find out exactly how the f.d.a. does. emily morrison is a veteran f.d.a. inspector collected one subsample out of fifteen brando boxes and now i'm in the process of bagging them. put them in coolers. and ship it to the lab a computer system red flags imports believed to pose the greatest risk based on country of origin and the company's past history of violations seafood by nature is a high risk commodity dance elise has inspections at the ports of los angeles so there are many boxes here and they're all packed full what percentage of the sample gets chosen to be taken to the lab so f.d.a.

reviews all electronic transmissions and the utilize things like foreign inspection domestic inspection whether it was sample than another all that information is gather within the predict application and then that shipment will be given a risk or the higher the risk or the more chances one of these officers will sample that much of. once the f.d.a. inspector picks on pills for inspection they're sent to an f.d.a. lab like this one in california. do you make you crazy over all. i can imagine. that the sugar is mixed with a chemical solvent dried and liquefied again run through and on and. is an f.d.a. chemist the results are written from the tests what are they showing us in this

post or compound fourteen forest monster programs and how dangerous is that for human beings virtual current is dangerous for human beings because this costs so much. for nerves or for this hour one of the building or one cause of this equipment or more than one so you know its size swimming. so how many parts per billion is this result i was one hundred true building so two grains and so in the olympic sized pool when you've managed to find it in that bio it's incredible so that batch of sram is not allowed in this country is this not going to be along with the f.d.a. simply isn't testing enough on the imported market to really find all of these violet of residues dr rangan had a study of imported shrimp for the june two thousand and fifteen issue of the influential magazine consumer reports of the two hundred five imported farm samples

that we found a leaven of those actually had illegal residues of antibiotics on them and that comes out to about five percent of the imported farm shrimp samples being contaminated with an illegal antibiotic residue the fact that the f.d.a. only tests about point seven percent of all the shrimp in this country for those. antibiotic residues suggests that the agency is not actually testing enough shrimp to catch the amount of illegal residue products that may be coming into the market however many of the countries that export the shrimp permit the use of antibiotics when you feed low levels of antibiotics every day you're not feeding them enough to necessarily kill bacteria those bacteria can become resistant to those antibiotics and that can make those antibiotics less effective in people if we're infected by those bacteria just as worrisome was the number of shrimp that tested positive for

bacteria we found about a third of the shrimp that we had had vibrio contamination vibrio is one of the few food borne illnesses on the rise seven of the samples we found had mercy that's concerning too and that's probably primarily associated with the amount of processing that goes on the shrimp production both have the potential to cause illness through the cooking process they can be killed we do know that there are shrimp farms and shrimp production practices that are doing a lot more to address those issues that are addressing hygiene and addressing other issues so that they aren't heavily reliant on drugs or other chemicals. six hundred miles from the nearest ocean. windmills and soybean and corn fields tiny indiana home to. mom and pop indoor salt water shrimp for. their own there over time i know

welcomed r.d.f. travis county. dear old brown accidental shrimp farming pioneers now at six pounds with their two dozen backyard pools is growing takes the perfect indoor system with zero waste no chemicals in the ninety percent survival rate. that's a third higher than traditional outdoor shrimp farms well this is like a little laboratory here yes it is in the short form yes it is we do nine tests every single day we do temperature design oxygen night shite c o two salinity alkalinity ph ammonia and flop as you can see our water is brown the test for doing here right now is we're trying to see how much bacteria is in our water and we call the settling so you're basically waiting for all those bacteria to go to the bottom and that tells you how much is in how much we have an exact like air for over a certain level then we have to get it out of the tanks otherwise it's going to start suffocating the strap that's very important that has to be done every day

basically we're not even farmers anymore we asked farmers any more we ask ourselves guardians of water as long as the water does what it's supposed to be doing the shrimp do just fine we add no antibiotics no hormones are ever added into our tanks you heard that right no antibiotics no hormones just fish food salts and baking so it's called head root troop it bio flux system a process that revolves around bacteria no it looks very room what is this room that i'm seeing the ground is the bacteria and the bacteria is why they sell their way so that they can survive without a major filter here's what's happening below the surface the shrimp eat their feed in excrete bemoan the bacteria turns that into talks ignite troitsky other bacteria turn that into benign i treat it as the water's air raided the nitrates turn into a harmless gas and around and around how long have you had this water for years and

how does it compare to other short forms most of don't have water that law we by mistake actually kept our water it's like it's maturing it's like one now does and we just found out that the older it gets the better it gets and so too for the shrimp the growing process starts every month with about two hundred fifty thousand newborns called post large bulls nicknamed the. now we're going to show you about r p l's and when they come in they're the size of an eyelash so it's hard to see inside this water how many shrimp are actually in there we stock about seventeen thousand each one of my six tanks there so what are all these tubes coming down those are airlines that adds the oxygen and their oxygen and keeps everything in suspension because if this stuff settles i'll have twenty minutes and then twenty minute by minute let me then everything here seems so precise it has to be it's mother nature will it is mother nature but with a lot of help from a mother in indiana i noticed there's foam on top what is this foam foam is mostly

c o two mixing with their feed that just comes to the top and it will actually disappear so it's part of the process is part of the process. yeah yeah. this is what you see in the supermarket when you get assurance now as i said they can be present they had on their very translucent one of the characteristics we actually look for mine say the long and ten is one thousand they're happy. and they're intended to start their fast now they begin seeing here this is their only protection and these man right now that mouthpiece have to be very angry at me as a little horn yeah that if you can look right where your thumb is that that's where the part is that. you can see it start being. a month later they're promoted to the production team with the turn in to dinner they are. already after

you know you have to keep going do it after. you get sick. or you say a number of beds were brown so about five hundred pounds directly to walk ins each month at eighteen dollars thank you very much i did think they. the postal sold their know how to to do. doesn't start up forms in the u.s. as well as ones in switzerland and spain these companies are really innovators they're trying out new technology johns hopkins microbiologist david love studies short production he gives the production like the browns a high grade with one caviar one that could ultimately make or break in the business world a lot of these farms my start out with a bang but then fizzle after a few years because they don't make money for the browns shrimp farming is paying off no financial fees will only sizzle as the business continues to grow is it

really is just a back but the proof of their success is what ends up on the plate in this case innovation tastes pretty good when served with the profit that is so good. i still can't get over the fact that possibly the cleanest and arguably the best shrimp in the world may come from the middle of indiana so you get some. in the table it looks a little gross i get that but it's chemistry in there and good end result is really good there's a global problem with using a lot of antibiotics in farming the more antibiotics used the more we're going to start seeing antibiotic resistant superbugs it happens in agribusiness here in the us it happens overseas and it even happens in medical practice you know a lot of people ask why should we care if there's some superbug that can infect shrimp how does it affect us but what they found is that bacteria can actually swap

genes so potentially if a bacteria that infects shrimp becomes resistant it could swap the gene into a bacteria that infects us and so that resistance can be passed on and the amounts of you know millions of pounds of antibiotics are being used around the world not just in trim but in cattle and poultry as well that is going to catch up to us when it hits our health care so. yeah it's called a call the spillover event it's not a confession it's an infection that happens in an animal species and then just like that a human can get infected too and it's been the source of most deadly diseases that medicine can't keep up with and that's where you look at the numbers could we have a billion pounds getting imported here only two percent actually gets inspected what about the other ninety percent it's important to have confidence in the system moving forward if we're going to keep eating shrimp and the inspection process the same brand i mean the amount of shipping that came investors will actually made it into a lab is tiny care what you have come out for is next you have really interesting

story now imagine that you are one of the first pioneers to take a trip to mars but also imagine that you're not allowed to come home it's a one way trip which you guys do at. i met a woman who is already signed up and she's raring to go. for decades humanity has been fascinated with a manned expedition to mars. this is. the definition of pioneering. that doesn't scare here that's what makes it exciting robotic pioneers like mars curiosity rover have been crawling around the cratered landscape uncovering clues. about whether this distant planet can sustain life as we know it do you have the right stuff to have that right stuff jamie del rosario is a twenty seven year old entrepreneur and c.e.o.

of the international metal source a raw materials company that supplies metals to aerospace companies like space x. and lockheed martin she is one of one hundred candidates that has been selected by mars one a private company that wants to colonize the red planet the catch there's no return flight home what do you say to people when they say jamie this is a suicide mission why are you doing it call it as i said mission but it's something that i chose i'm creating my own destiny for myself and and if it's a destiny that would help humanity. i'm all for it. according to mars one one of the main goals of the project is to establish an interplanetary species to preserve the human race. i want to contribute directly to me and kind of call for the expansion of the solar system which we have to do it for point destroy the world she made it to the top one hundred the third round of

a selection process mars one says started with two hundred thousand online applicants ultimately twenty four crew members will be chosen. do you think that anybody with enough training could be. common astronaut i believe that if you have . the motivation and it's temptation have of wanting to do it you can a mission to mars is obviously no simple matter pasadena california is home to the mars program at nasa is jet propulsion laboratory nasa has taken the man to the moon and back but they've approached this journey with a much more deliberate and rigorous training program. i'm now on the base on mars and i will give you a little tour in two thousand and fifteen six volunteer scientists walked out of a dome on the side of a hole why in volcano after being locked away by nasa for eight months this was a simulated experiment of what life on mars would be like coexisting is one

challenge getting there and surviving is an entirely different endeavor landing on mars is still pretty well sometimes it can be quite a terrifying play. dr richard zurek is the chief scientist for the mars program at nasa is jet propulsion laboratory a lot of things have to happen right right know we fly into the atmosphere we have would he choose the protection but we're also trying to slow down so that we can land softly. we're talking about a very different scale of endeavor we're landing a metric ton down on the planet today we think for human missions to get stuff down on the surface that they can use that they can be there for a long period of time that means forty fifty metric tons that's a lot of material today we don't know how to land the mars one has come under critical fire for their project primarily due to funding issues and for reports of

recording the mission for reality television show. in march two thousand and fifteen c.e.o. basilan store took to you tube to respond. they are currently selling our documentary series to international brawls costs or there's no deal in place yet but it's looking very promising there's a lot of interest when we really fill you a good criticism about our mission because it helps us to improve our mission also tells techno quote there are less serious critics who are only interested to sabotage our mission for example by lying but even if this non-profits mission never launches nasa is laying the groundwork today this is very much in the mode there are going to be humans on mars we're in the first stages of trying to understand what it takes to actually be able to explore with humans on the surface of the planet we've made a good start for robotic program first it's get down there see what the planet is

like those first explorers out there on the surface in the we can see what the future holds not in a million years but i want to go and colonize mars i mean there's so many risks it's so frightening to me what is the value that's different from me and probably from most of the people living on this planet who are afraid to go some people just have different goals and missions i want to do something that would change the world or help the world so if you are selected to go to mars do you foresee yourself getting married on mars having children say there. is you know interesting because it will happen do you think that's going to be a part of your training i would think so i mean that's something that we cannot shying away from because we're the new frontiers of colony and i think another part in the solar system are you scare leaving earth behind i will miss it everybody is trying to get to mars and i think what stands out with my swan is

a permanent settlement and i think this is the time now. so i'm really interested you guys would you sign up for a one way mission to mars i wouldn't you wouldn't mind where i am i would possibly but i don't think i would sign up for this one way mission to mars jewelers through history so many pioneers and explorers were to be fair a little bit crazy and sometimes they succeeded but other times they didn't but it always will push progress forward just a little bit through how i think the merit of this project is the fact that they go lives to try to be able to to achieve living on mars and the result of having a go at night which is extremely ambitious is the amount of technology that's going to be developed you know just crazy inventions in innovations that are going to come out of a kind of pie in the sky it's you know i think we've talked sustaining life on other planets versus sustaining life here on earth is really interesting topics

today guys so thank you for them we'll have a lot more of these stories next time here in techno we'll see you then dive deep into these stories and go behind the scenes at al-jazeera dot com slash techno. our expert contributors on twitter facebook instagram google plus and more. we're talking about ivory poachers who have decimated populations of elephants in africa they almost always ship the ivory out of a different country from where it was poke because that's where you start your search to look in the wrong place this radiocarbon dating method tell us their trade ivory is to be built or not then we have a place we can focus law enforcement on to take those out and perhaps the source of the r.v. from entering the network take no at this time on emphysema. news

is happening faster than ever before from different places from different people and you need to be part of backs you need to be able to reach people wherever they are and that means being across all social media platforms this is where our audience lives as well as in front of a t.v. they're almost small for their own that's how that they're on the news. about the way out as here is of all walked into a true media network. a key figure of the early twentieth century arab literary scene. and a feminist writer. had ever had time. so why did

as it breaks this was a great election about it was going to win but it was about by how much with detailed coverage the syrian civil war no losing to its teeth but what is new different is that each key some people will live until to morrow so many innocent people will die from around the world the bats and balls are several years old the really good players could end up trading a cricket academy and maybe one day play for the national team. three billion dollars five hundred thirty three million dollars president trump boasts of a u.s. arm sales to saudi arabia as he hosts crown prince mohamed bin someone.
