very many many years you know we've had research throughout the decades and we had the international agency for research on cancer that said that there are dangerous and hazardous associated with this chemical and of type specifically to cancer and not hodgkin's lymphoma so it's definitely been the case independent scientists around the world i know that you follow the close the case very very closely and you have written this but over the years with each new scientific research showing hormone soundso work not to warn users or redesign its products but to create its own science to so that they were safe that's a pretty damning allegation can you elaborate on that yeah i mean it is and it's i also say in that article the damning information came largely from monsanto itself you know one set of own internal e-mails an internal communication strategy documents show how the company has worked very diligently not to you know to

warn or to respond to evidence of our business with its products but to harass and censor scientists to try to discredit scientists and journalists and others who are simply trying to point out the risks you know that go along with the rewards of this chemical that's the evidence that the jury heard that's the evidence that was laid out in my book that that is the evidence amongst their own words that it's come to light what does this all mean then for the public's right to know going forward and protective regulations need to be put in place. right well i mean what that shows us very clearly is that our regulators in the united states and regulators in europe and elsewhere who you know largely just follow the lead of the industry of chemical company who are trying to sell a product for years they rely on the science that it's presented to them by the companies that rely on the assessments that these companies present to them and we

really need an overhaul of that we need our regulators to look to independent published peer reviewed science and we need the industry science being a public it's only the companies though is it because we know that the environmental protection agency that is the e.p.a. it's also said in the past the a good life a state is safe when used carefully well yes of course and the bulk of the research that they have relied on to do that has been presented to them funded by fastow and others in the chemical industry all right so we will leave it there we thank you very much for speaking to us from australia you're watching the news grid and if you're watching us on facebook live you will find out how now rather about the prison inmates being paid next to nothing to help for. just a moment a lebanese politician pushing a bill that would legalize medical marijuana supporters of the proposal face could

nine journalists have found it hard to report from china on discrimination against muslim communities there and so many are relying on pictures and videos like this on social media of the miss thems from the way community and the local government says the mosque was built without proper permits which is that many are asking if that was the case why wasn't the construction stopped at the time but this is a petition that the community has got together and put forward to the local government requesting not to demolish that mosque and muslims in other parts of china have also been showing their so it darts if i say this picture here is just a banner that's been put out side one of the big mosques in china hanging from there and that is in the ching's the city in solidarity with those most in china has a muslim minority of twenty three million people and there's an increased crackdown on them by the chinese government's now the in the west of china weaker muslims inching jang have been targeted for years and a new release united nations report says it's got credible witness testimonies of

news grid yes sarah thank you and we are getting comments on the story on our facebook feed many people asking where the freedom of religion is well moving onto another story for now and we'll tell you what's happening in south africa because south africans are getting more and more impatient that so much land belongs to so few people so some have taken matters into their own hands illegally occupying land just outside the southern coastal city of cape town from a daimler has that story. slivers of light shines through the simply furnished home of no one decent she's been living on this land illegally for three weeks there are dozens more roughly built homes dotted across this hill in still and bosh near cape town an area known for its affluent than yards and estates. it's because of our government that we are here we have asked for lent before but they have not helped us we have to make a lot of norris and fight to get this land here a court is ordered that no more can be built and those that have been occupied be

destroyed but as night falls people scurry to bring in more building material. the believe yeah well this is our land that was taken from our ancestors even though the current owner bought this land the previous owner stole this land and so now it needs to be returned to us while we are taking the land. according to government statistics of africa's white minority population owns more than seventy percent of privately owned farming land under political and public pressure to reform land ownership the ruling african national congress says it will support moves to change the constitution to allow the seizure of land as long as it does not harm the agricultural sector or the economy but it's unclear how this will be done and who will qualify for the land while acknowledging the need for urgent land reform presidents forum up was appears to be struggling with a balancing act this week while addressing investors he said the government would

not allow land grabs and an alkie wanting to calm the fears of the business community but deciding between what land those people need and what investors want may not make everyone happy but that woman says it plans to seize one hundred and thirty nine farms across south africa before the constitution is changed if successful amendments to the constitution could be avoided there are fears seizing land without compensation could scare off in this. does violate property rights and hurt food production critics say talk around land exposed ration is a ploy for votes ahead of next year's elections rather than a sincere attempt to reform land ownership and that expectations should be managed meanwhile people here could face eviction as the landowner returns to court in the coming weeks to have them removed from al-jazeera still in wasilla africa let's get more of the global news headlines with your pollen from
