well you know we but the body of knowledge. then. move. in that he didn't move and when i look i've you know saturday enough. and i looked at him maybe without more glee. i want you all monitored i'm the one that didn't make any money. very little but the speed of light and the reality is it really didn't. do any good i thought and for later they would welcome a return dynamically they then don't 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 of that some mean some activities. solo they've done some don't and they've missed us he's having sort of a bus. all this but i think. they're going to get it.
10:01 am
but. then. they eat. that on my head and it'll be there because there's a bit of good next. weekend you that we've been. as often i'll be up late doesn't landed in this to be picked up each week it could be added to possibly have an addition we have already had to have addition. to give you tips for the convience if we beat me this may be deceptive and he's but we've been up and that you want to be having this thing going to get him to fix it in the end did you know we just wanted to have more and doesn't make a nomination. i
10:02 am
mean it's. going. on. i'm out to the. main thing i don't want to. live in that i'm going to meet and. see you 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 a 66 years she was studying the 2nd standard and she was running behind
10:03 am
and itself it's just that she was 20 she was standing behind the eagle so 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 run behind a hiccup. then after spain see this collapse and became a things. which are very very very. so there he really got my camera ok. ok ok listen.
10:04 am
you say. this is the song of this time. his name is safe he's open for a lot of us. so so the notion of this and the fullest will be yes and we're going to all of the spectacle. of some fun looking into. it perceive the u.s. government as one of the just for the topics starting from b.d.d. a man in $72.00 in the u.s. abandons to distill the news to the next will be to africa and asia even after 50
10:05 am
years they're doing the same thing it is very unfortunate. food. for gas drop from grain leader of the great foreign gas bombs but the enemy greater gap again your community there is no report there are planning. before world war 2 there wasn't widespread use of pesticides there was reliance on some of the us but during and after world war 2 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. their nerve poisons when then pushed into agriculture many of them are still used mites might spread and.
10:06 am
without war we would not pass 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 in 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 51 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 2013 revealed that banned restricted an unregistered pesticides a manufactured in $23.00 states to export only the e.p.a. doesn't track the volume or final destination of these pesticides which are then
10:07 am
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 2 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 a specialist lead paint flame retardants to all kinds of products drugs
10:08 am
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 1st politician that really took notice of this was president jimmy carter when i was gay rector leave office i had exhausted by effort to get congress to pass it but we had all the material to show that we were doing something it was basically unscrupulous or illegal or as international law goes but the manufacturers of these dangerous materials and i don't wish for so palpable that they obstructed what i did so only i could do with issued an executive order as a last resort and it precluded the distribution of sale of any material basically overseas that we couldn't safely present to consumers in america i wanted the brand
10:09 am
made in america to me to mean something. that i left office they descended on 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 30 years after i left the white house the issue is still unresolved and i would say that at this point they are all power employees all unscrupulous companies and their lagers. is even more powerful than it was when i was in the
10:10 am
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 1st elected official after president carter order to try to stop the 2nd poison by introducing 3 bills in 1900. 12 when i 1st suggested we have a lot of pushback. by lobbyists in the senate we had duck people in the senate who realized that it was important to stop to circle poison and we passed. once i got 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 to work on saturdays weekends everything out. how on the bill but could not get that part through. there are very powerful interests to make
10:11 am
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 whether it's a bet as best us or lead paint is something we shouldn't do that. just rumor you just sent. your the lead up that allows all your members to be able to say i fully agree with you or my god what you talkin about that's correct go ahead. thank you mr chairman senator lugar i would like to. welcome the other 6 exact senior executives of n.a.c. a member companies to join me on this panel today. one of senator leahy's main opponents to the bill was chave room mr of room has represented the pesticide industry in washington for nearly 3 decades bans written state an argument in 1990
10:12 am
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 compounds from places that other than the united states. do you think you'd find everything safe or do you think you'd find a whole lot more. 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 1st time that we had really enforced j. vroom also had lies within the government. of the e.p.a.
10:13 am
also oppose the 2nd poison bell so take the case to linda fisher she was an e.p.a. official who argued against a circle of poison bill during the 1st bush administration after that she went to work for a month actually as a lobbyist after that she went back into government back as a high official of the e.p.a. in the 2nd 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 6 are the 6 agra chemical companies that control upwards of 75 percent of the global has to sign trade and the big 60 names are monsanto. there suggest you can't n.b.a.'s and the 6 global corporations really controlled in terms
10:14 am
of food in farming. that. you know they need to leave. your feet don't have to be. wanted ok bye. it will not be a flamenco many of them with ball but it gets a lot of fame to be the moments 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 caught out that a lot of this.
10:15 am
you know my phone. he was for 9 june funny he's cheating now. where the real me and says be. good if you're not getting the beautiful how are you out of baby opening this i'm a metaphor for your cover well not revokable i'm the one for his mom work her whole life in the fields and so before the pregnancy she was working in the fields and for the 1st few months. in marietta the travel he had. to see a bill she said but. so he's been diagnosed with cirrhosis of children. with a man example the more difficult the ravelled it was for the family i doubt we'd live in the interview been. a secret that is a result of the easter that out when he was born
10:16 am
a little bit swollen but it's got him much awareness and he's going to see a good operation and mainly took a look at his liver and in june they said the need just has about 3 years to live and that there is nothing they can do anything you know he's. already. 'd in there really is something that of course deeply affects me as a human mind all of us you know that especially as a nurse i feel you know a deep need to stop. and you know i'm stop this is not that it's having on on children you know. all. at night in a stalking somali moms patrolled streets police giddy and not. for lack of.
10:17 am
tired of gang violence they use the maternal approach to prevent crime. in. a do a little bit in. the stories we don't often hear told by the people who live the mothers of rain could be this is europe. i remember the 1st time i walked into the newsroom and it felt like being in the general assembly of the united nations because it was so many nationalities. it is just that we all come from different places but it's one that gives us that gives us the ability to identify people who may live the other side of the world but we can understand what it's like to have a different perspective and i think that is a strength for al jazeera. on the legacy of south africa's a.n.c. was the boy made reporting on these what is the plough how does gold take us how
10:18 am
a liability and how perceptions have changed of this former liberation movement turned government you think is appropriate for a man who went to prison for defrauding paul a man corruption to run your policies work group on corruption and that he has some goes head to head with my leg embedded we do find it seems not exactly do we. get any grief on al jazeera. and the problem in doha with the headlines on al-jazeera tens of thousands of people across lebanon a calling for a revolution at least 2 people have died during demonstrations which have entered this 2nd day promised assad had it cancelled friday's cabinet meeting he's given rival groups of his government
10:19 am
a deadline to deny it and get behind his economic reform plans their job or. i'm giving our partners in the government a very short deadline 72 hours to give us a solution that can convince us and the people in the streets and our international partners. the streets of barcelona have now largely been cleared with only a small number of demonstrators remaining police and fire services are working to put out fires after protests turned violent earlier more than 500000 people descended on the regional capital demonstrates that angry at the jailing of 9 separatist leaders for their role the mccutcheon on yours failed independence bid 2 years ago. explosions inside a mosque in eastern afghanistan during friday prayers have killed at least 62 people no one's claimed responsibility for the attack and the help of the taliban says it wasn't involved and is condemning the violence the truce in northern syria

10:21 am
president one and this who denies the allegations well those are the headlines on al-jazeera circle of poison continues next thank you for watching. when i step back and really think about the scope of what we've done is spent a giant terrible tragic experiment best to sidestep pushed on drums that it's a very modern way to do. that we've made poisons the measure of progress. because of him. and. those born in. democrat not ago here in the law. they are.
10:22 am
enough get man who me and i'm going to. be down hand among them this way look i mean let's. be done dorothy even if. you get 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 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 effects . in 1998 dr conducted a study of pesticide exposure in mexico she compared the children living in the
10:23 am
pesticide intensive yaki valley to those in the non-exposed hotels. 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 4 and 5 year olds and 5 and 6 year olds and one of the things she asked them to do is draw a picture of a person and found 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.
10:24 am
with. being condescending. to many people as can manage. e u s n l r r g e in. the woman was on my list looking for men i was to go see this one as usually you mean that you will be in the one i. am in the thankless it means you have a chat with. all her mobility to be with you you stories and not because you must. be here but i want to write a script as warnings for my laces and while force it out of her because you're honest. so i would do that but in this because of what i love it can end up you can't because i'm proved was adamant that toxics. is
10:25 am
a little bit about your level of the little bit of earthly we're. a little bit in the book for it there's a pull him out of 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 150 industrial facilities all long that corridor. in fact the industry calls it the chemical corridor residents that have a different name for it or they call it cancer alley.
10:26 am
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 find 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
10:27 am
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 is a is like all big ever come across companies highly profitable and highly influential in political circles few years ago the complete. a $100000000.00 expansion of the round up plan for instance in cancer when we'd welcome our governor bobby jindal and our 1st lady so pretty agenda. governor jindal whose wife is a foreman one son 2 employee praised the expansion of the round up plant in 2010 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
10:28 am
a real difference in any pesticide between is active ingredient which in the case of roundup for example is go ifas 8 versus 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 8090 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 there that's are fact and that part of roundup that makes it stick to the crop was so fatal working with the other ingredients in in roundup 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
10:29 am
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 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 chemical some of the. maybe as bad as the bad ones. the standard argument against. a healthy environment and other regulations
10:30 am
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 a lot more profitable than if you have to pay attention to it to seeing new 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 to lead as best as tobacco the chemical industries have 6 often succeeded for decades in a poisoning people would 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 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
10:31 am
that's what the export is but yes it's good for business and that it. he what i meant i think jackass of them had money enough to not make a. bill that you know get themselves a little out of. the last not be legislated that only 90000 international month i mean i don't but i will. not in the interest cheeky just a on my for matching the much of the answer the man the gas and the a modicum and. gave up on i'm all a muscle when you need the money in the. grand
