in gimble you can use liquid state with on this i guess if you're not being under salute seen that he. will learn something in the post canal is he using our d. in space while the woman was on my lips looking for men i was a ghost because when asked usually you mean that you will be only one in particular . i'm in the thank you sequence of let's have it. all come over to see the people or do you stories and articles you must. be here's what i want to write a script is rewarded for malicious or not while all boards are out there because you're honest. so i will do that but a mystic of what i really. can't because i'm proved was at them at the docks of course.
3:01 pm
it's a little bit about your level of the little bit of earthly we are. if there's a look at the name of the story that the people in mud the illustration here. 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.
3:02 pm
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 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
3:03 pm
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 is 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
3:04 pm
releases in the entire state. is really important 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 in one pond you just put the active ingredient of roundup like to say 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
3:05 pm
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 on 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 environment and other regulations
3:06 pm
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 of it's just a matter. of fact it's kind of interesting in this country but. the major industries like to lead as best as tobacco chemical industries have so often succeeded for decades of poisoning people quite 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. the domestic population has become organized enough an act if enough so they're saying you can't feel us a
3:07 pm
so then the idea is if it will kill will kill people who are more vulnerable that's what the export is but yes it's good for business and that it. he hoped to maintain a handbag last attempt had money enough to not make them a. get themselves in the heart of. the last not be legislated that only ninety thousand election a month i mean i don't but i will king eco. nuts in the world just cheeky just a fun month for matching the much of the answer the mama cass and the a to modify my in the. video gave a simple i'm all a muscle when you go from a baby in the.

3:09 pm

3:11 pm
there may be some to. come. you know where meadow a cable where i deal with dead people to look at i left and then we had it. he said i normally will promote a book you know for a moment i'm going to us it will not end once you you know if he can as i noted. he also known as i am not 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 know one of my lips i. see i mean i support their life when i only. get any at that he hooked me when i
3:12 pm
get out of the hook. after i mean that will tell if one of your at that moment you're not going to alarm on. the hook in 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 with the plans and the brittany's come and train at our farm and
3:13 pm
that are the way we practice in 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 the wonders actually edible and all of that because of our limited human resources we only come to fit in with 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
3:14 pm
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 in ongoing. in and leave productive land for the next generation so it has always been a tradition that is taking care. of them out of. the british 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 growth people get cancer the same best aside companies sell your
3:15 pm
patent at gad's a medicine that's growth this ruled is not measuring welfare it is measuring destruction. done 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 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.
3:16 pm
it again and i don't have any easy went down your the barrel. as it is yes say that we were in it there were either deer are a time when it's down. not around and he says he on for media has the gun you are less a nazi as a muslim he knows who knows dorsett there is a on your side that has him blain are cliches the logic and the nuts on the dawn of their a lot. more. siegelman deny it they are not bullied argument that it was appropriate for me yes i want one hundred billion in a. foreigner now see for me the don't think i knew my last. year . it's a non-issue as i have and they are so involved i looking me goes i doubt i said
3:17 pm
broke genesee then said they were not. he went on to sort out the name of the gunman to the motel ok said way but it was hit seen a loser and one day he said he won't give me god. and when i see lexie thing if a ship is young and get a pretty good dinner not getting made there we had to take up only for yes at the end i'm not signing up to dallas we don't need just one with reporters any good night yes if they do it and they mean it's immunity i guess and what i have found in my twenty five years of working with biodiversity but going to build ecological agriculture systems is that chemical free boys and free agriculture systems which intensify ecological processes which intensify by a diversity produce more food and money attrition but that's the way we must cope precisely because the population is increasing.
3:18 pm
is does he embarrassed it in the system from media has to come it's nothing me i get what i news sisto can sort of on the do it on the board and it has units it's the most are random what interesting point i use against the media a focus or quasi chander supro p.s.a. me again monita gave us if you see mentee effect on or not because you're on the blogs he has a use for asian i mean pick or knows him. for the mother going to run a company sigesmund i'm proud of him at least. if the greek from the east of a media series find out what does organisers you know on this by now what was where were seated a few game to. work at that hour is the last time you released him a legal complaint of people age of consent is he not up with ricky in month in
3:19 pm
a newly minted susana. it's simple to. believe that. since two thousand and three gannett bazaar in carolina has helped small farmers give up chemical intensive agriculture to deliver safe sustainable produce. this farmer's market was inspired by the growing organic movement in the united states. where i thought my happy hope my happen it turned out didn't happen. again and farm bill people started paying a lot more attention and had a hobby type thing that they detractors called it is now turning into a thirty billion dollars a year business to about the only agriculture businesses growing but also more importantly people started asking questions we need people to say we don't want the
3:20 pm
hazards we don't want to support the hazards we all want to export our chemicals we don't want to import poisons on our food we want communities where food is produced to be safe we want our food to be safe we know the systems exist we need leadership desperately we need an uprising. but what's your belief that there's not enough on this plate subpoena everybody. you know that you need. it or not the hungry and the board.
3:21 pm
hello again welcome back we're here across turkey and crete parts of greece we are watching an area of low pressure that has been bring quite a bit of rain showers particularly over towards greece and we could still see some localized flooding across much of that area you know the next few days that a low will start to dissipate the live winds will start to die down as well you can see the winds right here coming out of the south but by the time we get to tuesday much better conditions for much of that area and the rain showers that we had here across much of the eastern med will also begin to die down as well well here across the gulf we are looking at basically nice in clear conditions for most areas we are watching up here in doha maybe thirty eight degrees over towards thirty six muscat
3:22 pm
not looking too bad most of the clouds are staying well off the coast over the next few days with saliva seeing a temperature there of about thirty one degrees in your forecast and then very quickly as we take a look down and what's happening here across parts of southern africa we are looking at another frontal system just off the coast now that is going to bring some more clouds and rain over the next few days so cape town on monday twenty degrees few there but as we go towards tuesday well we are going to be getting cooler with those southerly winds coming into play but up here across parts of johannesburg not looking too bad with partly cloudy conditions at twenty seven and durban a warm day at about thirty two degrees for you. what makes this moment is giving we're living through something. we haven't seen the president this is unpredictable freedom of speech is a valid bodily cleansing that is
3:23 pm
a perfect formula for authoritarianism and here in the early years the lights are. on there's nowhere to hide let me ask you straight out is the two state solution no from returning still on al-jazeera i mean this is different not to say whether someone is going for someone's favorite it doesn't matter we need to think it's how you approach an individual and that's what it is a certain way of doing it consciously by the story and try out. mass graves are being prepared on indonesia's soloway sea island but the full scale of the devastation still emerging.
3:24 pm
and sam is a dam this is just here alive from also coming up around launches missiles at sites inside syria says it's striking back for the attack on a military parade. deal sealed and friends again canada and mexico reach a new trade agreement with the u.s. donald trump dismissed the old one as a job killing disaster. and the swimming race in senegal is as much about freedom and history as. mass graves are being dug in indonesia is ready to welcome an international help as it struggles with the aftermath of an earthquake and tsunami we're expecting an update soon from the national disaster agency in jakarta but officially the death toll remains of eight hundred thirty two of people are being warned to prepare for
3:25 pm
the death toll in the thousands many remote areas still cut off most of the confirmed dead are in the city of only eleven from the region of down gallop but it's still largely cut off there is no road access and no airports in the city of around two hundred seventy thousand people. a fourteen day state of emergency has now been declared on the island of soloway city on the coast around palo the scene is of kilometers and kilometers of debris on the beach present djoko widow though also visited paolo and on sunday upgraded the disaster and now it's the world he announced rather he would welcome international assistance people continue to flock to the army hospital as they desperately look for their loved ones though the big need is for heavy machinery with reports of people still trapped in many collapsed buildings including a hotel and shopping center in palo one woman was pulled out alive from beneath
3:26 pm
a collapsed restaurant there to blocked roads damaged airports and broken telecommunications of all made it difficult to bring in the help andrew thomas is imposed on his way to power. like so many of us out same as trying to reach probably you can't fly there on commercial planes direct and anyway once you get there there are no cars available no fuel no food no water all those things those supplies things that we need to psyche and we're far from the only ones of those in this huge queue of traffic trying to get a pretzel in a city that's a six hour drive away from poland where here in the nearest place that we could see all those in these miracles are trying to get fuel to drive to probably because they're worried about relatives they want to take their own supplies in but this is just the starting point outspoken missions in that city well all day on sunday the military was digging big graves mass graves and many hundreds of people will be buried in dollars on monday indonesia's government meanwhile has early on monday
3:27 pm
said that this disaster is of such a scale that they now welcome for a night that is significant with a long book like the few weeks ago indonesia's government is that it was able to cope on a very different this time around they are welcoming foreign aid they want to get as much as quickly as possible so as well as all these people once they get fuel in that cause driving. fights in the past the level to official foreign aid should be reaching that city. away in haiti joins us now live from indonesia's capital jakarta so that start with the need for heavy machinery to what extent is that setting back the rescue effort at this point. yes that is a big concern as always in these situations is getting access to the site there you heard from our reporter on the ground in the area andrew thomas there very accurately describing how difficult it is for media for friends and family for aid
3:28 pm
organizations for search and rescue personnel to simply get themselves in there getting the heavy machinery that is required to speed up the search and rescue operations well that is another story altogether many roads are impassable because of landslides because of other damage to the roads leading into the city of. and then the roads that are not impassable severely clogged with traffic with people trying to get in there trying to get out and there are very long lines of people waiting to get fuel as andrew mentioned we're just getting an update now from the national disaster agency to sammy here in the capital jakarta they are giving a media conference at the moment they confirm that the official death toll has gone up a little bit to eight hundred forty four and of course as i mentioned before we are expecting it to climb significantly higher given there are still so many people unaccounted for in those affected areas it looked clear for days worrying that
3:29 pm
indonesia needed some help it couldn't reach all these stricken places why did the president wait this long before allowing international help him. well i think unfortunately sami in these situations domestic politics often plays a part in this and that probably played up a part in forcing his hand really i think there was a desire anyway in the first instance to show that they could handle this on their own as there always is in these situations but. clearly international assistance is going to be needed if not immediately then certainly in the next few days weeks and months i say domestic politics because there is a general election coming up a presidential election in indonesia in april next year we are already into the campaigning for that election so clearly as this disaster this search in rescue
3:30 pm
this recovery operation drags on and things like the response from the government like the response from aid organizations and the international community becomes more of a talking point in the days and weeks ahead than inevitably it turns into a political discussions or clearly the president djoko with goto was wanting to get out in front of this before too much criticism started to speed up so you're right he has given the green light now for international aid for international assistance to begin coming into indonesia to help with this situation which normally isn't usually a problem usually there are hundreds if not thousands of search and rescue volunteers aid organizations from neighboring countries and from further afield what is usually a problem in this part of the world indonesia included is coordination and that may still well be a problem over the next few days and weeks. now
3:31 pm
iran's military says it's hit positions in syria linked to the group behind last week's attack on a military parade in the city of outlaws several missiles struck the come out region of eastern syria and iran says the targets a link to an ethnic arab separatist group funded by two gulf countries are sweet twenty five people were killed when gunmen opened fire on a military parade many of the victims were members of the elite iranian revolutionary guard. that r.v. is live for us in iran so this comes zain at a time when tensions are also high between iran and saudi arabia iran and the u.s. is there a message being sent here to others not just the group that was targeted apparently . absolutely sami there's been some confusion as to exactly who has been behind this attack the whole time iran's leaders took the attack as an opportunity to blame literally everyone on their list
3:32 pm
of enemies they started by blaming the separatists but they said that they were backed by not only saudi arabia and other regional countries but the united states blame against israel that level blamed against the islamic state but never name them specifically but today in a statement released by the iranian revolutionary guard corps the said that they targeted firies which is their word for and they said that they hit people who were involved the leaders and members of groups that were involved in orchestrating the attack a little more than a week ago let me give you some details on exactly what transpired at around two am local time here in iran six ballistic mid range missiles were fired by the i.r.g.c. stationed in the west of iran these missiles traveled approximately five hundred seventy kilometers over iraq airspace and hit targets in the east of syria now again there's a couple of different things going on here certainly iran is illustrating that it has the ability and the military might to target any threat that it sees to itself
3:33 pm
the missile attacks they say were followed by bombardment by seven separate aerial drones signaling their military capability in the region but they're also sending a signal that they will not only attack threats to itself but that they want to create some kind of conflict to push out foreigners inside syria and are doubling down on their on their effort to try to clear syria and maintain syrian national integrity now this is a signal not just to armed groups fighting there but to other countries present there including the united states that has a presence in eastern syria. israeli forces have ordered palestinians in china lamarck to destroy their own village and leave by midnight on monday save the deadline is not met they'll go in and do it themselves last month israeli court or supreme court ordered the demolition to make way for more settlements protests are expected across the west bank later monday and the harm is

3:35 pm
a new trade deal to replace the north american free trade agreement or now after that donald trump and dismissed as a disaster. the u.s. president has blamed the twenty four year old deal for the loss of american manufacturing jobs it was agreed to canada's prime minister justin trudeau held a late night cabinet meeting that will lack reports from toronto prime minister a good day for his country says canadian prime minister justin trudeau in the absence of detailed analysis his officials insist canada didn't have to give up as much as it feared to an overtly protectionist us president it took more than a year of often acrimonious talks to get here canada u.s. relations once closer than almost any other bilateral ties in the world sunk to new lows mexico made its own deal with the u.s. in august and it took canadian and u.s. negotiators another month to reach agreement just two hours before a deadline that could have excluded canada
