but the body of knowledge. then. move. in that he didn't move and when i look i mean i have no shot of the enough. data maybe without more. i would do almost like i'm the one that didn't make any of it. very little but that the speed of light and the reality that you really didn't have time to do any good i thought absolutely they were committed then i'm fully then that now can anyone look at. after but the fans noticed that. and not having no. eleven 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 ever get it.

but. then the. best. he can do that we. as often obviously doesn't landed in this to be a piece of shit 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 switch to 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. what. i'm after the. main thing i want is. the reading 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 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 to handle hickok. then after spain see this collapse and became an. issue there. he said that he would be going to hell let me cover ok and. say

ok weston they are going to see. this is the son of this. his name is obsessed he's often for those of us. so for the national this head of the fullest will be s. and we're going to all of a spectacle. of some kind looking into. it perceive the u.s. government as one of the just for the corporate starting to be demanding to do in the u.s. abandons to distill the news to the next will be to. asia 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 it with gas against your community there is no report there are fanning. the for 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 chemistries 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 went and pushed into agriculture many of them are still used mites might spread and.

without war we would have passed the sides that's maybe that's an irony maybe maybe not but one way or another way this is what we ended up with 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 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. 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 inspect this 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 was gay regular 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 and i don't wish for show paul. that they obstructed what i did so they were they i had do with issued an 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.

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 this point they are powered employers all unscrupulous companies and their loggers. is even more powerful than it was when ours 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 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 lobbied us 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 and cut to the house of representatives was his frame to work law and order. and they were able to stop it from being in the final we tried mightily we worked on saturdays weekends everything else. on the bill but could not get that part through. there are very powerful interests to make

a lot of money i sign things in or contaminate. 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 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 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. number of cases against companies it was the first time that we had really enforced j. vroom also had lies within the government. of the e.p.a.

also oppose the second poison bell so take the case of 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 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 dare suggest you cons n.p.'s and the six global corporations really

controlled in terms of food in farming. you i'm lucky that. you know they need to leave. your feet don't have to be. born in a cave but i. if women i guess would not go many of them would fall but it gets a little offensive even mondays that are how did he come from. sunny in south moonshot just emphasize oh not that i had an example but get out to me that game is now on the mall 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 lot of this. you

know most families don't have a priest. he was far nine june funny he's cheating now. where the real me is this 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 the love revokable i'm the one for 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. in manteo the travel he had. to see a bill she said but. so he's been diagnosed with cancer also such as her. own poor 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. a secret that he's a he's on the east side and out when he was born

a little bit swollen but it's got him much awareness and you're going to see a good operation and lane took a look at his liver and in june they said the knee just has about three years to live and that there is nothing they can to do anything you know he's. already. in it really is something that of course deeply affects me as a human mind 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 say that it's having on on children you know i'm not. all. april on al-jazeera blogs is back with more investigative journalism and in-depth

backed government then to benghazi which is half the as eastern stronghold caetera says he remains deeply concerned about the military escalation. and the heavy heart. i still hope would be possible to avoid a lot of people from stationed in and out on tripoli and the united nations remain. available to facilitate any political solution able cuny fight the libyan institutions. and whatever happens. the u.n. would really remain could lead to and i will remain commuted to support the libyan people. vast crowds of protesters have flooded the streets of algeria as capital in the first mass demonstrations in surprise an announced he was resigning abdul aziz beautifully because departure after nearly twenty years in power led to

celebrations across the country where the protesters are saying they will keep up the pressure to push out a corrupt elite algerian media say the country's spy chief who is a close ally of abdel aziz beautifully has now been sacked the african development bank has promised around one hundred million u.s. dollars to reconstruct parts of mozambique zimbabwe in malawi all devastated by psycho die a powerful storm first hit south east africa on march fourteenth unleashing catastrophic flooding and killing hundreds of people. and his ready forces of injured eighty three palestinian protesters in the latest friday protest at the gaza israel border the demonstrations known as the great march of return began more than a year ago they demand an end to the blockade and the right for palestinians to return to lands occupied by israel israeli military says more than ten thousand people participated in friday's demonstrations more on everything we're covering in

the news hour i will see for that in twenty five minutes time i found. when i step back and really think about the scope of what we've done is spent a giant terrible tragic experiment best pushed on drugs that it's a very modern way to do plumbing and we've made poisons the measure of progress. out of him. and. in models. and then come home. one in there about a highly endemic are not ago here in the lab who. they are easy enough to man who me and i'm going to have big fee only not only that but they don't harm amongst

your family thought in this way about million. dollars i thought if even if. you get their hand in and get better hi donna. probably the 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 doctors allowed 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 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 scramble you couldn't even tell that they were people. on this i consider being condescending. of something mythical

was going mad. 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 thinking sequence of the time we've. all come over to see the people with real stories and not because you need. to be here but i want to write a script as your news was there 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'll say it can end up you can't because i'm proved was a time at the toxics. it's a little bit about your level of the little bit of earthly we're. a little bit and

then one of the stories that the people in much 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. 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 file 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 thrive 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. some toes and is like all big ever come across highly profitable and highly influential 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 good life is eight verses all the surfactants an urge to go into that full pesticide when it 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 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 us 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 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 in the country or for export is that it's harmful to business which of course it is

and if business can kill people freely it was more profitable than if you have to pay attention to it to seeing look at the 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 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 can't feel us a 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.

the whole time ended up in dhaka then famine then that in america a thought but if you know now that you know it themselves you know how to make. me laugh not be legislated not only ninety thousand international month i mean i don't but i will. not in the interest cheeky just a fun month for matching the much of the answer the mama cass and the a to modify my in. a subtle i'm all a muscle when you go from a baby in the. grant the time you're not a grown up can't you know when you're going to say. soon the thank.

you so if you need them go again you on your buy them and they're going to be looking to go to susan and if you assert them in the sun though thank the media elite that us see. us in a with them all you know the my company as a result the recent book why didn't them unity the super awesome he gave it to supply us is that us is the one they're going come by their policy that you're guessing that the broker and i don't talk secrets on film or get us to trust you on it us today i'm. me you're this you need to put the book where the book is when i sample the

gamebook and yeah you saw me open my pharmacy on you when you know. nobody except the amount that hit me one day and. i won't be out of this you can finance the nia . with the i don't i see now you have a real three hole you. go on through thick and i yell again they have only hope that i am firm the he would never see the bay. when i say sunday. is a look at me on a bus are you going to. get your mum lived on the enormity of the big deal that is actually on on this yet then the a e can from a that any. many thing. that is not only you know. that's a pass a may say. someone out another one of the month by month in a sick body. only and only for must. not say they are going

our city like a hornet. a sack of fun before neither one of for me then for me i not all of this have not done but of course and i mean that one in there for one moment and. you and she will this one ball game if i must say that i am both out and for the. past so they can say i know nothing other than by mathematics as usual i mean it's ironic and i mean pass. residents of a to zingo reported cancer rates to severe that's what forty one times the national average in argentina. going to source on a saw. on it though is going to do i sent money.

and there may be some to. come. you know where my dog at all 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 and when trusted when i then 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 it was i know you you know the one image argument over it he went to yeah see you don't want to. see i mean i support their life when only. going to get any at that he hold me when i get out of the hook. after i mean that will tell if one of your that

i met you're not going to alarm on. the hook and i had a 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 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 all of that because of our limited human resources we only come to fifteen with 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 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 taking cattle. on and out of. the bush on 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 patent at gad's a medicine that's growth this ruled is not measuring welfare. it is measuring

destruction death 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 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 again government of unity went down your liberal. as

a single guy in your case yes a router in a thing to wear it out there are a time when it down. not out of any says he on for media has the gun you are less a nazi as a muslim he knows who knows door said there is a on your side that has him blain our glee she's the logic and the net on the tone of get almost in there a lot more joking aside the rossetto. more but only mild siegelman deny it they are not valid argument that it was that appropriate for me yes i will try one hundred million in a number of on that now save for maybe a pro but i think i knew a lot. over the years. it's a non-issue as i have and they are so involved i lowkey me goes i said procure initially and then said they were not allowed out he went and saw those men to the motel locus of way but those he'd seen

a loosening want people to give me god. and when i see lexie thing if i shook as young man did a pretty good dinner not that that image of the old dude at a couple me for years 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 biodiversity produce more food and money but that's the way we must cope precisely because the population is increasing. is does he embarrass released of our media has to come it's nothing me i get what i

news sisto focus sort of on the good on the board and as young as this comes around i'm quite interesting point i use against of our media focus or cause the channel supro p.s.a. me it can monitor gave us if you see mentee osip then or not because you're on the blogs he has a use for asian i mean pick or knows him. some form of the contract cunt going sick to school and i'm proud of him at least. if the premier from the east of our media series and i would cause we're going to see you on this fine old was where i see that a few employers. were kept alive is the last time you released him a legal code by the legal age of consent is he not up with vicki begin monday near knowing that the susana. is that.

since two thousand and three got it bizarre 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 might happen hoped by happen it turned out didn't happen this year again a farm bill people started paying a lot more attention and they had a hobby type thing that the 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 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 you're to believe that there's not enough on this plate subpoena everybody. should know that you need. it or not people hungry in the board.

we live in a time of war and tragedy is crimes against humanity. activist repression. enforced disappearance arbitrary arrests. extrajudicial executions brutal torture the list goes on. who investigates who judges the criminals. who compensates the victims the international conference on national regional and international mechanisms to

combat impunity and ensure accountability under international law. organized by the national human rights committee. united nations human rights office of the high commissioner. european parliament's. and global alliance of national human rights institutions. the weather's lousy seth barack ross australia at the moment still some cloud bits and pieces of writing to the fos out things we could really do with some right in melbourne they've had their driest start to the year on record and those records go back to eighteenth the eight hundred fifty s. it is particularly unusual for the north it's fine it's dry got some very heavy rain that was just up around the top and then of course this is. a little area of

u.n. supports the government in tripoli there are some u.n. members who have been giving financial and military support to highly for half hours rebels now these countries such as egypt and the u.a.e. maybe some members bringing pressure to bear on them to a trend to curb the military offensive by the rebels but it's a major issue because as i said plan a was that conference of national reconciliation leading to an electoral process if that does not happen the does not appear that the u.n. has anything ready to put in its place thank you very much with the latest from the united nations is that special session continues mike hanna thank you mike. well to our other top story this hour vos crowds of protesters have flooded the streets of algeria's capital in the first mass demonstrations since the president announced his resignation abdulaziz beautifully because departure after nearly twenty years
