a change to the status quo arrangements in force since the start of the israeli occupation in 1967 you had a glick is a leading voice in that movement i asked him whether the decision to allow access was a political one by a government that wants to satisfy right wing voters ahead of september's election mr netanyahu last week told the police you do what you think is right i'm not going to get involved and if you say on line that he did it for political reasons you are lying to your crowd it has nothing to do with the decision was made percy by the office of the police palestinians those see this as intensely political the senior p.l.o. politician. accusing israel of recklessness and aggression designed to provoke religious and political tension this holy site is once again a flashpoint and a focal point in the conflict are a force that al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem. still ahead on.

11:23 pm
inside the federal testing program on the food. that's supposed to protect the food supply doctors should do some more is mechanical engineer she will share the results of her investigation to how dangerous is that for human beings and i'm filled torahs i'm an entomologist visitor shrimp farm in the middle of india. yes indiana that could revolutionize the industry well this is like a little laboratory here yes it is and i'm sure for sure santa maria is a neuroscientist. imagine that you are one of the 1st to take a trip to mars. this is the definition of pioneering that's what makes it exciting events our team now let's do some science. yes.
11:24 pm
hey guys and welcome to techno on phil tours joined by dr should you some are in kerosene or maria because i'm not going to one of my favorite things is shrimp soon ruling away on a hot grill but i also have a fair amount of hesitation when it comes to actually knowing where that shrimp comes from then you may not realize it but shrimp raised overseas can have high levels of antibiotics and other additives that don't always pass american safety standards in america imports a lot of shrimp ira 1000000000 pounds worth so we also the food and drug administration the agency responsible for policing u.s. ports if we can follow them while they test unsafe shipments. america has a jumbo appetite for shrimp you know it's a little piece of flesh that they can be easy it's kind of like popcorn of the sea americans it's an average of 4 pounds pot passive. at fred 62 and. chef fred eric serves
11:25 pm
a lot of shrimp it's very difficult as a chef or a restaurant or to buy shrimp with the confidence that what you're serving them is going to be good ty cobb thrush which. americans taste comes with a price. 90 percent of only shrimp eaten in the u.s. is imported. much of it from countries like india thailand and indonesia sometimes trip is raised overseas using production drugs like antibiotics that are approved for use in those countries but not approved for use in the u.s. johns hopkins microbiologist david love surveyed federal data on drugs found in imported shrimp some of the top drugs that we found in shrimp were i'm sure if your aunt's chloramphenicol tetracycline itself on a meds and instructor meissen what does it mean for the consumer to be exposed to antibiotic resistant bacteria if you get an infection from these bacteria it can be
11:26 pm
hard to treat using antibiotics especially if these bacteria are resistant to the antibiotics that your doctor would prescribe. for bombs that use antibiotics often farm with overcrowded pom diseases are a big deal in shrimp farming there's a can be a high mortality rate in some shrimp farms. the food and drug administration polices shrimp imports. 5.5000000000 pounds you see things you just imported into the united states every year and much of it ends up in a cold storage facility like this one in southern california but only a tiny fraction of all of that seafood is actually inspected so we've come here today to find out exactly how the f.d.a. . emily
11:27 pm
morrison is a veteran f.d.a. inspector we've collected one subsample out of 50 random boxes and now in the process is bagging them. put them in coolers. and ship it to the land a computer system. red flags imports believed to pose the greatest risk based on country of origin and the company's past history of violations seafood by nature is a high risk commodity dunson least has inspections at the ports of los angeles so there are many boxes here and there or pockets full what percentage of the song pool gets chosen to be taken to the lab so f.d.a. reviews all electronic transmissions and we utilize things like foreign inspection domestic inspection whether it was sampled in another all that information's gather
11:28 pm
within the predict application and then that shipment will be given a risk or the higher the risk or the more chances one of these officers will sample that much at. once the f.d.a. inspectors have picked some close friends special sent to an f.d.a. lab like this one and find california. the race he assured me they were going. through i can't imagine because the shrimp powder is mixed with a chemical solvent dried and liquefied again run through an analyzer. is an f.d.a. chemist so kind of the results are in from the tests what are they showing us in this post the compound working for sponsored programs and how dangerous is that for human beings virtual current is dangerous for human beings because it's costing the . earth. before now for this are one building or one cause for
11:29 pm
this improvement to rorting one ground so. good sized swimming. so how many parts per 1000000000 is this result i was says is about 110th true cost of building so $2.00 grains and so in the olympic size swimming pool would need my. to find it and that. is incredible so that batch of shrimp is not allowed in this country is actually going to be along with the f.d.a. simply isn't testing enough on the imported market to really find all of these violet of residues dr rangan had a study of input to the june 2015 issue of the influential magazine consumer reports of the $205.00 imported farm samples that we found a leaven of those actually had illegal residues of antibiotics on them that comes out to about 5 percent of the imported farm shrimp samples being contaminated with
11:30 pm
an illegal antibiotic residue the fact that the f.d.a. only tests about point 7 percent of all the shrimp in this country for those antibiotic residues suggests that the agency is not actually testing enough shrimp to catch the amount of illegal residue products that may be coming into the market however many of the countries that export the shrimp permit the use of antibiotics when you feed low levels of antibiotics every day you're not feeding them enough to necessarily kill bacteria those bacteria can become resistant to those antibiotics and that can make those antibiotics less effective in people if we're infected by those bacteria just as worrisome was the number of shrimp that tested positive for bacteria we found about a 3rd of the shrimp that we had had vibrio contamination vibrio is one of the few food borne illnesses on the rise 7 of the samples we found had mercy that's
11:31 pm
concerning to you and that's probably primarily associated with the amount of processing that goes on the shrimp production both have the potential to cause illness through the cooking process they can be killed we do know that there are shrimp farms and shrimp production practices that are doing a lot more to address those issues that are addressing hygiene and address. other issues said that they aren't heavily reliant on drugs or other chemicals. 600 miles from the nearest ocean nestled in a patchwork of windmills and soybean and corn fields. indiana. a mom and pop indoor salt water shrimp form. a very good on their own they're over and i asked her you know welcomed r.d.f. travis county. carlina and darryl brown accidental shrimp farming pioneers are you going to down 6 pounds with $32.00 dozen basic backyard pools as growing tanks
11:32 pm
they've perfected an indoor system with 0 waste no chemicals in the 90 percent survival rate. that's a 3rd higher than traditional outdoor shrimp farms well this is like a little laboratory here yes it is in the short form yes it is we do 9 tests every single day we do temperature does on oxygen night shite c o 2 salinity alkalinity ph ammonia and flop as you can see our water is brown the test for doing here right now is we're trying to see how much bacteria is in our water and we call the settling so you're basically waiting for all this bacteria to go to the bottom and that tells you how much is it how much we have an exact like air for over a certain level then we have to get it out of the tanks otherwise it's going to start suffocating the strain that's very important that has to be done every day basically we're not even farmers anymore we ask ourselves guardians of water as long as the water does what it's supposed to be doing the script are just fine we
11:33 pm
add no antibiotics no hormones are ever added into our tanks you heard that right no antibiotics no hormones just fish food salt and baking so it's called a head root trophic by a flock system a process that revolver around bacteria no it looks very grown what is this round that i'm seeing the ground is the bacteria the bacteria. is why they sell their way so that they can survive without a major focus here's what's happening below the surface the shrimp eat their feed and excrete demonio the bacteria turns that into talks ignite traits other bacteria turn that into benign i treat them as the waters air raided the nitrates turn into a harmless gas and around and around and how long have you had this water for years and how does it compare to other short forms plus some don't have water that law we by mistake actually kept our water it's like it's maturing it's like one now does and we just found out that the older it gets the better it gets and so too for the
11:34 pm
shrimp the growing process starts every month with about $250000.00 newborns called post larval zz nicknamed. now we're going to show you about our p.l.s. and when they come in they're the size of an eye last so it's hard to see inside this water how many shrimp are actually in here we've passed on to about $17000.00 each one of my 6 tanks there so what are all these tubes coming down those are airlines and that adds the oxygen and their oxygen and keeps everything in suspense in because if this test settles i'll have 20 minutes and then 20 minutes limits me then everything here seems so precise it has to be it's mother nature will it is mother nature but with a lot of help from a mother in indiana i notice there's foam on top what is this foam foam is mostly c o 2 mixing with their feed that just comes to the top and it will actually disappear so it's part of the process it's part of the process. yeah so
11:35 pm
yes it did get there. so this is what you see in the supermarket when you get assurance that as i said they can be frozen with a headline they're very translucent and one of the characterises we actually let our minds see the lion's head is meant that when they're happy. in their. start there fast if you can see here this is their only protect these man right now face . a very angry if there's a little horn yeah anything unless that means that this fire started out. you can see it start being. a month later they're promoted to the production team with a turn in to dinner. if you have to keep don't you would have. yes they. are you say in on the bed or the browns so about
11:36 pm
$500.00 pounds directly to walk ins each month at $800.00 thank you very mad i think they. will sold their know how to 2 dozen start up forms in the us as well as ones in switzerland and spain these companies are really innovators they're trying out new technology johns hopkins microbiologist david love studies true production he gives the production like the bronze a high grade with one can of young one that could ultimately make or break in the business world a lot of these farms might start out with a bang but then fizzle after years because they don't make money for the browns shrimp farming is paying off no financial fizzle only sizzle as the business continues to grow as it already is. but the proof of their success is what ends up on the plate and in this case innovation tastes pretty good when served with the profit motive so you would.
11:37 pm
know i still can't get over the fact that possibly the cleanest and arguably the best shrimp in the world may come from the middle of indiana so i guess i'm. in the table looks a little gross i get that but it's chemistry in there and everyone in results is. really good there's a global problem with using a lot of antibiotics in farming the more antibiotics used the more we're going to start seeing antibiotic resistant superbugs it happens in agribusiness here in the u.s. it happens overseas and it even happens in medical practice you know a lot of people ask why should we care if there's some superbug that can infect shrimp how does it affect us but what they found is that bacteria can actually swap genes so potentially if the bacteria that infect shrimp becomes resistant it could swap the gene into a bacteria that infects us and so that resistance me passed on and the amounts of
11:38 pm
you know millions of pounds of antibiotics are being used around the world not just in trim but in cattle in poultry as well that is going to catch up to us when it hits our health care so yeah it's called a it's called a spillover event it's not infection it's an infection that happens in an animal species and then just like that a human can get infected too and it's been the source of most deadly diseases that medicine can't keep up with and that's where you look at the numbers can we have a 1000000000 pounds getting imported here only 2 percent actually gets inspected what about the other 90 percent it's important to have confidence in the system moving forward if we're going to keep eating shrimp and the inspection process missing brandon i mean the amount of shipping that came investors will actually made it into a lab is tiny care what you have coming up for us next you have really interesting story now imagine that you are one of the 1st pioneers to take a trip to mars but also imagine that you're not allowed to come home it's a one way trip which you guys do at. i met
11:39 pm
a woman who is already signed up and she's raring to go. for decades humanity has been fascinated with a manned expedition to mars. this is. the definition of pioneering. that doesn't scare here that's what makes it exciting robotic pioneers like mars curiosity rover have been crawling around the cratered landscape uncovering clues. about whether this distant planet can sustain life as we know it do you have the right stuff i have the right stuff jamie del rosario is a 27 year old entrepreneur and c.e.o. of the international metal source a raw materials company that supplies metals to aerospace companies like space x. and lockheed martin she is one of 100 candidates that has been selected by mars one
11:40 pm
a private company that wants to colonize the red planet the catch there's no return flight home what do you say to people when they say jamie this is a suicide mission why are you doing it call it as i said mission but it's something that i chose i'm creating my own destiny for myself and and if it's a destiny that would help humanity. i'm all for it. according to mars $11.00 of the main goals of the project is to establish an interplanetary species to preserve the human race. i want to contribute directly to mankind's call for the expansion of the solar system which we have to look for point is stronger than the one she made it to the top 100 the 3rd round of a selection process mars one says started with 200000 online applicants ultimately $24.00 crew members will be chosen. do you think that anybody with enough training
11:41 pm
could. common astronaut i believe that if you have. the motivation and the temptation have of wanting to do it you can a mission to mars is obviously no simple matter pasadena california is home to the mars program at nasa's jet propulsion laboratory nasa has taken man to the moon and back but they've approached this journey with a much more deliberate and rigorous training program. i'm now on the base on mars and i will give you a little tour in 20156 volunteer scientists walked out of a dome on the side of a hawaiian volcano after being locked away by nasa for 8 months this was a simulated experiment of what life on mars would be like coexisting is one challenge getting there and surviving is an entirely different endeavor landing on mars is still pretty well sometimes it can be quite a terrifying play. dr richard zurich is the chief scientist for the
11:42 pm
mars program at nasa as jet propulsion laboratory a lot of things have to happen right right know we fly into the atmosphere we have would he choose the protection but we're also trying to slow down so that we can land softly. we're talking about a very different scale of endeavor we're landing a metric ton down on the planet today we think for human missions to get stuff down on the surface that they can use that they can be there for a long period of time that means 4050 metric tons that's a lot of material today we don't know how to land the mars one has come under critical fire for their project primarily due to funding issues and for reports of recording the mission for reality television show. in march 2015 c.e.o. basilan store took to you tube to respond. they are currently selling our documentary

series to international brawls costs or there's no deal in place yet but it's looking very promising there's a lot of interest when we really fill you a good criticism about our mission because it helps us to improve our mission also tells techno quote there are less serious critics who are only interested to sabotage our mission for example by lying but even if this non-profits mission never launches nasa is laying the groundwork today this is very much in the mode there are going to be humans on mars we're in the 1st stages of trying to understand what it takes to actually be able to explore with humans on the surface of the planet we've made a good start for everybody program 1st it's get down there see what the planet is like those 1st explorers out there on the surface in the we can see what the future holds not in a 1000000 years but i want to go and colonize mars i mean there's so many risks

it's so frightening to me what is the value that's different from me and probably from most of the people living on this planet who are afraid to go some people just have different goals and missions i want to do something that would change the world or help the world so if you are selected to go to mars do you foresee yourself getting married on mars having children i'd say that half is going to be interesting because it will happen do you think that's going to be a part of your training i would think so i mean that's something that we cannot shying away from because we're the new frontiers of colony and i think another part in the solar system are you scare leaving earth behind i will miss it everybody is trying to get to mars and i think what stands out with my swan is a permanent settlement and i think this is the time now. so i'm really interested you guys would you sign up for

a one way mission to mars i wouldn't you wouldn't mind where i am i would possibly but i don't think i would sign up for this one way mission to mars jewelers through history so many pioneers and explorers were to be fair a little bit crazy and sometimes they succeeded but other times they didn't but it always will push progress forward just a little bit through how i think the merit of this project is the fact that they go lives to try to be able to achieve living on mars and the result of having a go at night which is extremely ambitious is the amount of technology that's going to be developed you know just crazy inventions and innovations that are going to come out of a kind of pie in the sky it's your doubts have you know i think we've talked sustaining life on other planets versus sustaining life if you're wrong earth's really interesting topics today guys so thank you for them we'll have a lot more of these stories next on here in techno we'll see you then dive deep into these stories and go behind the scenes with al-jazeera dot com slash techno

11:57 pm
would have another chance to go back to aden. thanks so much. is advocacy manager in yemen for the norwegian refugee council joins us on skype from our man good to have you with us let's start with the humanitarian situation in aden now how is that being impacted by the recent apparent takeover by southern succession this. i mean from an r. c's perspective we were very worried because 9 of our staff members were trapped in the crate to area for 3 days bogged down in their homes but fighting and shelling taking place nearby so these are vital aide workers who are also caught up by the conflict. all today we're hearing the situation is karma there's more civilian movement except but for many of the aid work because of so and aussies supporting
11:58 pm
50000 more than 50000 displaced people are not in our main concern was that the fighting paralyzed humanitarian operations aid organization and their stock were either affected by the violence or they were hiding in their basements because they were us scared for their safety so and what else it did was that the white team cut off i told infrastructure so there was a water tank which was damaged which cut off the supplies the drinking water for the civilians. so really what they are fighting it has done is mean has meant is that it stopped the movement of humanitarian workers and i didn't but also the longer it went on for more it was also shutting down aid operation in other areas of the country so this means that those 50000 of them have even more people in right now who are effectively without clean drinking water food medicine and other forms of aid. at the because i think our main concern is the
11:59 pm
scituate the fighting going on for some days but if the fighting resumes so at the moment the norwegian refugee camp refugee council who i work for we've relocated some of our international staff some of them traveled by boat from god into djibouti today so really we would like to continue to provide food water shelter i was just an audience recently and visited a camp and people are living in terrible terrible conditions and they need our help so really our concern is if the fighting groups nums it will shut down our operations not just in our dinner but the other areas of the south and the safety of astarte and civilians and that's what we need to stop we need the situation to go back to normal so that we can provide the help that people need. for humanitarian organizations which are. supporting some 2000000 people made in right
12:00 am
and we're hearing that some of these agencies are starting to downsize than all. that doesn't sound like a very good trend that the cove is on i think what aid agencies are doing including the norwegian refugee council is that we are concerned about the current situation then if it escalates further it's a very unknown situation and it's very volatile we still have many many of the our workers on the ground so for example we have $96.00 yemenis stopped in southern yemen $61.00 of whom are in so we don't want to stop our operations but we need a 50 in order to be able to move around and not only that civilians themselves they need a cease fire they need a political resolution so they can leave their homes that they can move around freely.
