4:03 am
congress inquiry into nine eleven has been blaming saudi arabia and the and the u.a.e. for lax finance regulations that paved the way for many people to send weapons to send money to extremist all over the world so we're talking about a war of. words the continuos and threatens further instability in the read. thank you for that life force in new york also at the u.n. on saturday syria's foreign minister called on the us france and turkey to withdraw troops from his country he branded them occupation forces while he said syria's government is close to winning the country's seven year civil war and in his wards defeating terrorism. oh you are so you go to us ladies and gentlemen today the situation on the ground is more stable and secure thanks to progress made in combating terrorism the government continues to rehabilitate the areas destroyed by terrorists to restore normalcy all conditions are now present for the voluntary return of syrian refugees to the country the country have to leave because of

4:05 am
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 space represents the dust of our ancestors all 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 will pay for as a species. in generations to come this senate agriculture committee is considering
4:06 am
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 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
4:07 am
town called tahlequah on has absolutely nothing to do there and. we were bored and one day we are. 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 breathe in telecom and she said holy cow there's cycle mates in the us i said wait they're banned about the us 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 regulated or restricted there on registered in the us was being allowed by the us government and in fact encouraged to be sent overseas almost as compensation for the companies from losing the us market.
4:08 am
pesticides pushed on the grounds that it's a very modern way to do. i remember. years ago reading a book that india is on to develop because it doesn't use pesticides and we've made poisons the measure of progress and catalytic this it's called god some countries it is so beautiful it has some of the best health indicators in the world hundred percent literacy. and you go.
4:09 am
you know salacious any so. she thought she actually got us into the one. percent in constable is a very unique east the first response in the past in back to her series on animals . we have the feeling of the dogs doing the chickens dying. in their blandish media. initially the people were really happy because the snakes are dying the cause of dying nobody will know your color will come and catch you if you can so you're happy you can walk in the plantation freely because all the snakes are gone but in a year's time they found that the chicken is always a pretty. to use followed bangor found that they can no longer keep dogs because the dogs again. suddenly you have. to disagree on human beings and when the impact became he's a grown he will beings like. the what we call the brain in the. people
4:10 am
born with limbs in seven cases people born with the. things outside the body you name the human disorder which can happen to a body you see in case there were. many actually. understand the issue of. this is that and. the local community generally they were. in fact they said can you know. there is no source of other source of pollution in that area because it sets the standard so even also not initial every discuss debate the basic facts of events and then slowly collecting the information they said only that now these things can happen do it will they say probably the signs and symptoms was in video early ninety's like ninety one ninety two ninety three that's going to buy them to kill someone it was a way to do that to some child born with something but then we see a lot of new ones born with docs who can fix the child is not exposed but the
4:11 am
parents are exposed and the children are born with the former that is happening today. deep in the cashew plantations of india doctor and his mobile medical team visit survivors of one of the worst pesticide disasters in the world. the transition here or full of cases. he also is sort of scraped by the anderson from where you. live. then. and he didn't move. when i look i've you know saturday off. saturday.
4:12 am
they're connected and you know that. very. strange and they have a. fully that. they were a bit of a shock and for later they would have committed then the police then they are now going on. after but the fans noticed that. and not having not on the little man might make storms like an ending all and some mean some activities. solo they've done some dope and they've missed us he's having sort of us. all does. that are they going to get it. but. then the.
4:13 am
next. weekend you that we. as often i'll be up late 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 up and that you want to be having to sing let it get him to fix it in the end did you know we just wanted to have morning doesn't make a nomination. you know.
4:14 am
what. i'm after the. main thing i don't want to. live in that i'm going to. see it as an absolute the nominee 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 six six years she was studying the second standard and she was running behind and itself 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 have. shows that she was not meant that that then she was absolutely normal she was able
4:15 am
4:16 am
a national this head of a list will be s. and they're going to all of a spectacle. of some kind living in cuba and. you perceive the u.s. government as one leaders for the corporates are starting to be demanding some to do in the u.s. abandons to distill the news to the next will be to africa issue even after fifty years they're doing the same be it is very unfortunate. forgat dropped from brain leader of the brain or in gas bombs but the enemy rated
4:17 am
you with gas against your community there is no report there are kind of. before world war two there wasn't widespread use of pesticides there was reliance on some of the drugs 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 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 environmental problems we've never
4:18 am
experienced before thanks to pesticides that's when the u.s. government in the act of fear from 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. 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.
4:19 am
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 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
4:20 am
jimmy carter. when i was very regular leave office i had exhausted by effort to get congress to pass it but we had all the material to show that we were doing something it was basically unscrupulous or illegal or as international law goes but the manufacturers of these dangerous materials and items were so palpable that they obstructed what i did so they were there to do it 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 i wanted the brand made in america to me to mean something. to so that i left office they defended old well president reagan while reagan and he agreed. to protect their right to continue selling.
4:21 am
pesticides and clothing and on prove or disprove drugs. to people overseas to sort of manufacture 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 power and influence all unscrupulous companies and their lobbyist. is even more powerful than it was when i was in the 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 off to president carter who tried to stop the second poison. by
4:22 am
introducing three bills in one thousand nine hundred. twelve when i first suggested we have a lot of pushback and i lobbyists in the senate we had the people in the senate who realized that it was important to stop to circle poison and we passed. a once it got to the house representatives want israel to work a lot harder. and they were able to stop it from being in the final we tried mightily we worked on saturdays weekends everything else. in the bill but could not get that part through. there are very powerful interests to make a lot of money i saw it as a no 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 where there's a bet as best us or lead paint or something we shouldn't do that.
4:23 am
it's rumor you senator. 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're talking 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 chave room mr broom has represented the pesticide industry in washington for nearly three decades pants written 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
4:24 am
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 of pesticide compounds 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 enforced j. vroom also had on lies 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 to actually as a lobbyist after that she went back into government back as
4:25 am
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 the out of government regulating pesticides and other toxics and then going to work for the people that produced. the big six are the six agra chemical companies that control upwards of seventy five percent of the global has to change and the big six names are monsanto dow bear syngenta. n.b.a.'s and those six global corporations really controlled in terms of farming. bucky that. you know they need to leave.
4:26 am
your feet don't have to be. born in a cave. if i give him a good many of them weren't born to get him to the moment that i had any damn it's money in my charger and case i don't not that i had an example but i get a lot of money that can lead now and the more there are what order of people not been there but i doubt that i'll hide out that a lot of the. theory i must buy my own have overused. he was far nine june funny he's cheating now.
4:27 am
with the real me and since the. it was good of the look beautiful how are you out of the building this i'm in a metal cover up the levee broke i'm the above his mom worked her whole life in the fields and so before the pregnancy she was working in the fields and for the first few months five months in marrying the travel he had. to see a bill she said but. so he's been diagnosed with cirrhosis of children. well it's on poor man example the more difficult the rabble that he was for the family i doubt we have lived in the interview been. a secret that he's a result of that he started out when he was born a little bit swollen but it's gotten much awareness and you're 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 you mean you know.
4:28 am
it really is something that of course deeply affects me as a human like all of us you know the specialism or not i feel you know a deep need to stop. and you know i'm stopped the fact that it's having on on children you know. all. october on al-jazeera. in a new season al-jazeera correspondent returns with more personal stories from our journalists from around the world. brazilians are getting ready for elections but the main presidential contender is barred from the polls as he serves time in jail for corruption. from the u.s. and beyond faultlines investigate the stories beyond the headlines after

hello again i'm fully back to blow with the headlines on al-jazeera powerful aftershocks continue to pound the island soloway sea in central indonesia more than four hundred people have been killed after friday's earthquake and tsunami as saw the death. or will rise as rescuers reach more remote areas north korea's foreign minister says continued u.s. sanctions are deepening its mistrust of america we young home address the un general assembly on saturday said young man has taken significant goodwill measures without a corresponding response from the trump administration there's been a heated exchange between represents is from the united arab emirates bahrain and

qatar at the un general assembly in response to a speech by the u.a.e. accusing qatar sponsoring terrorism a representative for qatar said the u.a.e. is spearheading incivility in the region also at the u.n. on saturday syria's foreign minister called on the u.s. and france as well as turkey to withdraw troops from his country he branded them occupation forces while he said syria's government is close to winning the country seven year civil war and in his words defeating terrorism. ladies and gentlemen today the situation on the ground is more stable and secure thanks to progress made in combating terrorism the government continues to rehabilitate the areas destroyed by terrorists to restore normalcy all conditions are now present for the voluntary return of syrian refugees to the country the country they hope to leave because of terrorism and the unilateral economic measures the targeted daily lives on their livelihoods. tesla c.e.o.

ilan musk and the u.s. securities and exchange commission have reached a settlement over fraud charges under the deal mosque will remain c.e.o. pay twenty million dollars fine and stepped down as chairman of the company the f.c.c. also impose a twenty million dollars fine on tesla is accused of misleading investors after tweeting that he secured funding to take the electric car make a private last month brazil's far right presidential candidate both scenario has returned to rio de janeiro after being released from hospital it coincided with major nationwide protests against his candidacy boss now is known for his offensive comments about gays women and black people they're upset with the headlines on al-jazeera circle of poison continues next year that the more news at the top of the stay with us. when i step back and really think about the scope of what we spend
4:33 am
a giant terrible tragic experiment. pushed on drums that it's a very modern way to do. that we've made poisons the measure of progress. and you want to. be. born in the. democrats not to go here in the. near. enough to get a man who me and i'm going to have the big fee only nine. a month your family will buy million. dollar thievin and. in and get better hi donna. probably the
4:34 am
most dramatic way to understand the difference between domestic regulation and the lack of regulation once you cross the border as the fox 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's evidence of the effects in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight dr conducted a study of pesticide exposure in mexico she compared the children living in the pesticide intensive yaki valley to those in the non-exposed patel's. 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 year
4:35 am
olds and one of the things she asked them to do is drop picture of a person and found that the children in the non exposed areas 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 scribble you couldn't even tell that they were people. on this i consider being. something mean people whose families. e u s n l r r g e in. the woman was on my list looking for men i was a ghost because when asked usually you mean that you will be only one of the
4:36 am
million i. am in the thankless it means you have the time with. all her mobility to be with you these stories and not because you need. to be here but i want to write a script is your news for malicious or not while all boards are out there because you're honest. so i will do that but in this because. it can end up you can't because i'm proved to us at them at the docks of course. it's a little bit about your level of the little bit of a very weird. little bit the name of the story that the people in mud the illustration here. you.
4:37 am
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. in many communities especially here in louisiana you can look out of your bedroom window and 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
4:38 am
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 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 it is like all big
4:39 am
agra cummock or 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 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 he had
4:40 am
to ponds with frogs in them and in one pond he just put the active ingredient of roundup like the same 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 turned out that the surf acted that part of round up that makes it stick to the crop was so fatal working with the other ingredients in in round 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 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 they're not studied on human beings that would be an ethical so essentially it's
4:41 am
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. a healthy environment and other regulations 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 it was more profitable than if you have to pay attention to it 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
4:42 am
industries like 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 probably will the children are going to die of lead poisoning but you 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. the domestic population has become organized enough and active enough so they're saying you 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 .
4:43 am
the whole time ended up in gas and then had money enough to not make a cup but if you know now that you know it themselves you know how to make. me laugh not be legislated that i doubt it in the national anthem mean i don't but i will king equal. in the world just cheeky just a on my for matching the much of the answer the man the gas and the a to modify my own. i'll settle them all the muscles we need a family even though. grant the time you're not a grown up and you know knowing the say. now would you be so soon the so thank. you so if you need them go again you on your by them and they're going to be ok me go get susannah a slowdown in the sun the thank the media elite us see. us in it with them all
4:44 am
you know the my company is going to so the recent book why didn't them immunity the super awesome he gave it to supply us is that us is the one now going come by their pretty sweet idea guessing at the procuring nontoxic used on film would get us to trust you on it i sued i am. the wind me you know this you need but the pump worked up on me when i sample the gamebook and yeah you saw me put my pharmacy on it when you know. nobody except the amount that hit me one day and i guess i cable won't be out of this you can finance day nia. we are not i see now we have a real family who. go on to the ideal again they have only hope that they have firm
4:45 am
the he would and i see the bay area when i say sunday though none. as a look at me us are going to. get your mum norm. that is actually on on this yet then the a eakin for me that any of. many things. that is not only you know beatrice. a took us a book as a may say. so now another one of the month a month in a sick. only and only for must. also be up on our city like a hornet. a sack of fun before neither one of for me then for me i lined up all of the staff and was not done by
4:46 am
the book and i mean that one in there for one moment and. you and she were this one ball game if i must say that i'm both out for the. bass at a concert 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 were forty one times the national average in argentina. and i'm going to source you on a saw. one of those when you have sent money. and there may be some to. come.
4:47 am
you know where metro 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 at all for a moment anyway and ross it will not end once you you know if he can as i noted. he also known as i am a nominal then when i saw my mother to sign all of you you know the one image argument of it 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 get out of the hole last week. after i mean that will tell if one of your i met you're not going to alarm on. a hook in the holocaust. despite these threats sophia and the mothers continued their fight they ultimately
4:48 am
succeeded in getting a new aerial pesticide spraying within two thousand five hundred metres of homes. about two years ago the prime minister of the time on invited me to help become hundred percent about me 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 that at the moment we practice 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 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
4:49 am
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 all of that because of our limited human resources we only come to beating one to one percent of the land and to keep that percentage very low percentage of land cultivatable for a long time it has been important for people to make sure that there's enough organic 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 being on good. mission and not leave productive land for the next generation so it has always been a tradition that.
4:50 am
the britain government has very very clearly 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 best aside companies sell your patented gobs of medicine that's growth this growth is not measuring welfare it is measuring destruction down at illness. decided to do is going to. make happen is the objective. and therefore they focus on gross national happiness and the prime minister when he wrote to me he said there's only one way i see
4:51 am
growing gross national happiness it's by growing. bhutan is not alone after seeing the devastating effects of pesticide use in their communities small farmers around the world are turning to sustainable methods of agriculture. it doug and i don't have any easy went down your liberal. as it is yes say that we were in it there were either deer are a time when it down. not around and he says he on for be appropriate as the gun you are less a nazi as a muslim he knows knows dorsett there is a on your side that has him blain are cliches the logic and the nuts on the dawn of
4:52 am
