9:00 pm
but the body of knowledge. then didn't. 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 they're connected and even that. very little but that just faded enough and the reality is it 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 she's not having on the letterman might miss jones like an ending all and some mean some activities. so they've done some dough and they've missed us he's having sort of us. all does.
9:01 pm
it get it. but. then. in. that. way. if. he can do that we. as often i'll be up late doesn't landed in this to be a pizza. it could be added to possibly have addition we have already had to have addition of a pretty good years zero for the competency of the big men this may be deceptive of the names but we've got up and that you want to be having to simulate it get him to fix it in the end did you know we just wanted to have more and doesn't make a nomination.
9:02 pm
you know. what. i'm after and. anything you want to. read and i'm going to. see you as an absolute being 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 a six six years she was second standard and she was running behind and itself it's just that she was twenty she was then i mean behind the illegal. if
9:03 pm
she has been this much before we did this much problems in the table she was not i would have. shows that she was normal that's that then she was absolutely normal she was able to handle him. then after spain see this collapse and became an. issue there. so there he really gamma let me come up ok and. say ok listen to
9:04 pm
what they say since. this is the sound of this. the same stuff he's offering for a lot of us. so so the national this header for this will be s. and we're going to all of the spectacle. of some fun looking into. you perceive the u.s. government as one needs for the corporate starting from b. to demand in seventy two when the u.s. band intends to distill the news to the next will be to africa asia even after fifty years they're doing the same the it is very unfortunate.
9:05 pm
for gas dropped from grain leader of the great foreign gas bombs but the enemy rated it with gas against your community there is no report there are planning. 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 went and pushed into agriculture many of them are still used mites might spread and.
9:06 pm
without war we would have passed a size 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 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
9:07 pm
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 especially as lead paint flame retardants to all kinds of products drugs pharmaceuticals that
9:08 pm
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 regulate 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 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.
9:09 pm
to so that i left office they defended old well president reagan while reagan and he agreed. to protect their right to continue selling. 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 a lobbyist. is even more powerful than it was when i was in the white house.
9:10 pm
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 introducing three bills in one thousand nine hundred sixty 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 i got to say 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 and weekends everything else. in the bill but could not get that part through. there are very powerful interests to make
9:11 pm
a lot of money i sign things they know 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 is something we shouldn't do that. it's rumor you senator. you're the leader 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 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
9:12 pm
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 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 to allies within the government linda fisher of the e.p.a.
9:13 pm
also opposed to suckle a 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 to 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 the out of government regulating pesticides and other toxics and then going to work for the people that produce. 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. m.b.a.'s and the six global corporations really
9:14 pm
controlled in terms of civilian farming. bucky that you know the need you know they need to leave you know getting. your feet don't have to be. they might want to know. if women i guess will not go many of them we fall but it gets a little offensive even mondays that are how did he come from. sunday in south moonshot just emphasize oh not that i had an example but to get a little put to me that game is now on the more they were asked what it was was he put them up and made a movie a card but i doubt that i was out that about this. you
9:15 pm
know my family for previously. he was for nine june funny he says to the now. where the real man says the. good if you don't get in the beautiful how are you out of the building this i'm a metaphor for your cover well not 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 marrying her big travel he had. to see a bill she said but. so he's been diagnosed with cirrhosis of children. with his own poor man to comfort him or if it will be the travel that was for the family i doubt we'd live in eagle is your view of the secret police a result of the easter get out when he was born
9:16 pm
a little bit swollen but it's got him much awareness and you're going to see a good operation and mainly took a look at his liver and in june they set the needle just has about three years to live and that there is nothing they can do anything you know. 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 stop to say that it's having on on children you know i'm not. all that.

9:18 pm
africa but what to do with these untapped natural resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of their days looking forward to for the dry riverbed like this one five years on the syrians still feel battered or even those who managed to escape their country haven't truly been able to escape the war. i'm how he'd seen in doha the top stories on al-jazeera the u.n. special envoy to libya some salami says he's working to prevent an escalation of crisis in the country forces loyal to warlord all of us have to say they've reached the southern outskirts of the capital in a push against the internationally recognized government the heads of the u.n. has told her to stop his advance on tripoli. hundreds of thousands of algerians
9:19 pm
have rallied in the capital for the first time since the resignation of president of the fico they want his allies to go as well iraq's prime minister is in iran for his first official visit as a trip comes just a month after a visit by iranian president taha hasan rouhani to baghdad they're expected to sign political economic and military agreements relations between the countries continue to strengthen despite efforts by washington to curb iran's influence in the region . we wish to see our well developed relations bilateral relations to be an example to follow and also to be a precursor to similar ones with all the regional countries iraq not only aspires to maintain such healthy relations with iran but we are willing to develop widen and deepen our bilateral relations similarly with kuwait saudi arabia egypt could tar and the united arab emirates we wish the region to enjoy stability and peace

9:21 pm
headlines the news continues here and all to syria after circle of poison. when i step back and really think about the scope of what we've done it's been a giant terrible tragic experiment. pushed on crumbs that it's a very modern way to do farming and we've made poisons the measure of progress. he gave any other half of his even the much of anything you want to get on him. and. he can encompass all. those born in the know about a higher. not a go here in the lab who do not have a look if they are easy enough get them to me and i'm going to also have big
9:22 pm
feeling the time i hand them among the naive thought in this way that i mean that i . don't want to be done thought of if even. in a get out of a hat on a plane. probably the most dramatic way to understand the difference between domestic regulation and the lack of regulation once you cross the border as the facts 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 on one side pesticides that can't be used are being used on the other side they are used and there's evidence of the are facts. 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 hotels. after playing
9:23 pm
catch with the children and observing them dropping raisins into a bottle cap found disturbing differences and 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 drew 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.
9:24 pm
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 in particular. in the rankings it means you have the time with. all her mobility to be with you stories and not because you need. to be here but i want to write a script as warnings for my listeners don't like while bores are out there because you're honest. so i would do that but a mystic of what i love it can end up the kind you can sample was a time at the talks of course. it's a little bit about your level of the little bit of
9:25 pm
a very weird. little bit the name of the story that the people in my 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
9:26 pm
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 of lawmaking in the state they have a lobby that denies and takes away rights of citizens in the state for health care
9:27 pm
for health monitoring in the event of a toxic exposure. so we're in a real sad situation in terms of the power that is industrial corporations have in louisiana and companies like monsanto along with. monsanto's it is like all big ever come across highly profitable and highly influential political circles few years ago the complete. 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 former monsanto 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
9:28 pm
a real difference in any pesticide between is active ingredient which in the case of roundup for example is go ifas eight versus all the surfactants an urge to go into that for present one and spray 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 turns out that it's your fact and that part of roundup that makes it stick to the crop was so fatal working with the other ingredients in 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
9:29 pm
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 and 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 legal 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
9:30 pm
i mean if bins can kill people freely a lot more profitable than if you have to pay attention to it to seeing 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 industries like the lead as best as tobacco the chemical at the industries have so often succeeded for decades the poisoning people would 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 by the time 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 idea is if it will kill will kill people who are more vulnerable that's
9:31 pm
what the export is but yes it's good for business and that it. the whole time ended up in pakistan had money enough to not make 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. 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 own. video gave up on i'm all a muscle when you go from a baby in the. ground the time you're not a grown up can't you know when you know in the say. would you be so soon the so
9:32 pm
thank. you so if you need i'm going to again you on your buy them and they're going to be looking to go get susannah a slowdown in the sun though thank the media elite us see. us in it with them all you know the my company as a result 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 the board you see that you're guessing at the brokerage no i don't think secrets on film would get us to do it us today i'm. me you know this you need to put the book where the book is when i sample the game
9:33 pm
book at the end you see me put my pharmacy on it when you know. nobody except the amount that hit me one day and. won't be out of it and the second fanatic then yeah . with the i don't i see now you have. gone through that and i yell again there be a deal any hope that him firm the he would never see the bay area when i say he's on it or not the is a look at me. going to. get your mum lived on melanoma. that is actually on the on this yet then the a e can from a that any. many thing. that is not only you know. that's a class a may say this is. someone out another one of the month by month in a sick body. only and only for must. also be on
9:34 pm
our city like a hornet. a second one before neither one of for me then for me i lined up all of the staff are not done by the post doc 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'm both out for the. past so they can say i know 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 what forty one times the national average in argentina. going to source on a song. on it though is going to do i sent money.
9:35 pm
and there may be some to. come. you know where meadow 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 you know for a moment anyway and trust 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 immoderately amount 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 hook last week. after that i mean that will tell if one of your
9:36 pm
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 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 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.
9:37 pm
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 counted it in one to one percent off the land and to keep that percentage very low percentage of land cultivatable for a long time it has been important for the people to make sure that this is enough organic matter so that the soil doesn't degenerate just all assisting because for
9:38 pm
generations this is only the length that we have to farm on and on to use it up in one just. not leave productive land for the next generation so it has always been a tradition that is ticking. on a lot of. the boots 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 grow 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
9:39 pm
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. boutin is not unknown 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 and i don't have any sea went down your liberal. as it is yes say that we
9:40 pm
were in it they were in that there are a time when it's down. not around and he says he on from media pro bono as the gun you are less a nazi i say must i mean those who knows those said there is a on your side that has implemented cliches the logic and the net on the dawn of good almost think there are a lot more just you know sod the rossetto. more better more. siegelman deny it they are not bullied argument that it was that appropriate for me yes i will try one hundred billion 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 they went out. he went and saw those men to the motel locus
9:41 pm
ability but it was he'd seen a loosening want people to give me god. and when i see lexie thing if i shook as an idea but it doesn't get the internet that getting made there we had to take up and we figure is 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. is does he embarrass release fist of all media has to come it's nothing me i get
9:42 pm
what i news sisto focus sort of on the good on the border and as young as it's come as a random point in passing one time use against the media focus or cause the channel supro p.s.a. me again monita gave us if you see mentee a sip then on up because you're in that place he has a use for asian and men pick or knows him. for the mother going to run a country music to school and i'm proud of him at least. if the create them is the comedian ceiling fan i would cause we're going to see on this fine old was where i see that a few. work at that hour is the last i need is a multiple legal complaint of people age of consent is he not up with the key it can month they need not even the susana. is simply. a look.
9:43 pm
since two thousand and three gannett 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 hope 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 dollar 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
9:44 pm
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. in order to hungary and the board.
