4:00 am
santa maria here in doha with the headlines on al-jazeera russia and turkey have reached a deal that allows kurdish fighters in northern syria to withdraw further away from the turkish border under the agreement russian turkish forces will also conduct joint patrols because ankara launched its offensive in the area last week but suspended the operation following a u.s. brokered cease fire here is a summit binge of aid with more from a chuckle day on the syria turkey border. so another deal is now in place in northern syria this one is between the russians and the turks the turkish government has decided that it will give kurdish fighters another 5 another 6 days rather 150 i was as a was declared by
4:01 am
a president of the on when he met to russian president putin that turkish forces will give another 150 i was focused by this to leave this area and after that they are going to be going in to destroy if there is anything that is remaining with the fighters which turkey calls terrorists it is very interesting that in review for the 1st time that joint patrols between the russians and the syrian government is also going to be carried out on the border on parts which are not covered by that turkish offensive on its border with syria this will be the 1st time in 80 years that assad forces would be able to come back to this border area between syria and turkey we haven't heard officially from the syrian democratic forces that mainly kurdish led fighters but some commanders have been saying that they would not essentially want to leave these areas because they feel that this is demographic engineering that is being carried out by various parties and similar statements have been made by turkey as well that it was the kurds who carried out this
4:02 am
demographic shift and turkey wants this safe area which is 30 kilometers deep in syrian territory so it can send back up to a 1000000 syrian refugees including 350000 according to the turkish president to read out of the one who are kurds who want to go back to their areas so that they can rebuild their lives but that is only going to happen if peace returns to this part of the headlines in britain's parliament has rejected prime minister barak's johnson's plan to fast track his bread sit here with the e.u. means there is little chance of the u.k. leaving the block by the deadline of october 31st. and we now face further uncertainty and the e.u. must now make up their minds are over how to answer parliament's request for a delay in the 1st consequence with the speaker is that the government was take the only responsible course and accelerate our preparations for a new deal. the top u.s.
4:03 am
diplomat in ukraine has wrapped up 10 hours of testimony before the impeachment inquiry into president donald trump democrats leading the depositions they william taylor has provided the clearest account of the u.s. president pressured ukraine to investigate a political rival in exchange for military aid anti-government protests in chile are now being described as the worst to hit the country in nearly 30 years 15 people have been killed in the past 2 weeks unrest which started in the capital santiago over an increase in the cost of train tickets that has since been scrapped but protesters say they are now fighting government oppression. and iraqi government inquiry has found security personnel used excessive force against protesters during the recent wave of anti-government demonstrations at least 157 people mainly civilians were killed during those weeks of protest. pakistan's
4:04 am
government has taken diplomats and journalists to villages along the line of control that divides the disputed region of kashmir some about says artillery fire from the indian side on sunday damaged houses and businesses new delhi says it was targeting terrorist training camps and egypt says the us has offered to help break a deadlock with ethiopia over a multi-billion dollar dam project on the nile river construction is 70 percent complete it will provide electricity for ethiopia's 100000000 people but egypt is worried the project will shrink its share of the river if europe is prime minister abu ahmed says negotiations could resolve the issue but warms his country is ready to go to war if necessary another check of the headlines in about half an hour circle of poison is next.
4:05 am
the environment doesn't know any boundaries you know dust and pollution from china settles in the us you know nuclear radiation from chernobyl went over iceland. what goes up into the environment goes around the world and ultimately this then layer of topsoil. maybe 6 inches of soil around this hard planet spinning in space represents the dust of our ancestors all human history and all the other creatures are in that soil and to contaminate that and the water supply in the air is a forgivable sin it's something that we'll pay for as a species. in generations to come and this senate agriculture committee is considering a bill that would ban the export of dangerous pesticides farm workers from abroad
4:06 am
told lawmakers yesterday of devastating health problems from exposure to chemicals made by american companies coast to reagan farmer mario zimbardo used to grow bananas for export to america until he believes the pesticides sprayed on the plants made him and 800 other workers and. he told a senate committee there were times when he virtually bathed in a chemical that u.s. companies and officials knew could render men impotent if a chemical is banned or unlicensed as too dangerous to use in america should it be morally wrong to export it somewhere else aside from morality many experts believe americans are eating these pesticides can produce grown over see the so-called circle of poison. we know the circle poison really started for me years before when i was in the peace corps in afghanistan and my wife and i were in this little remote northern town called tahlequah on has absolutely nothing to do there and. we were. board and
4:07 am
one day we picked up some food from the american embassy when we were in kabul and she was reading the ingredients on the kool-aid packet that she'd gotten which shows there was a lot of greed in telecom and she said holy cow there's cycle mates in the us i said wait they're banned about the us government how could a banned substance end up in a poor country like afghanistan and so that started the investigation where i started to realize that systematically anything that was banned or heavily regulated or restricted to run registered in the us was being allowed by the us government and in fact encouraged to be sent overseas almost as compensation for the companies from losing the us market.
4:08 am
the least to say except pushed on grounds that it's a very modern way to do. i remember. years ago reading a book that india is on to develop because it doesn't use pesticides and we've made poisons the measure of progress and catalytic don't need this it's called god some countries. it is so beautiful. it has some of the best health indicators in the world 100 percent literacy and you go and pray parson. you know any so. she actually got us into the world of.
4:09 am
the issue of the 7 categories of uniquely us the 1st response in our past him back to her a series on animals. we have the disappearing of the dogs dying the chickens dying snakes dying in the in the in the planted media. initially the people were really happy because the snake said they in the cause of dying so the nobody will go your color will come and catch you if you can so you're happy you can walk in the plantation freely because all the snakes are gone but in a year's time they found that the chicken is also visible. to your spine pain they found that they can no longer keep dogs because the dogs again. suddenly you have the backs of this of your own human beings and when the impact became physically human beings like. the one we call the brain in the man of the soul and where people born without limbs 7 cases people born with you and then there are things
4:10 am
outside the body you named the human disorder which can happen to a body you see in constable. n.b. actually bend down and then to understand the issue of. this is that and aside from the local community generally they were not to turn a man off in fact it's a place that can. get elected there is no other source of pollution in that area. so we would also not be sure what every discussed debate. started collecting the information they said only that now these things can happen. probably the signs and symptoms were. really ninety's like $919293.00 that's going to be a. child born with something. new ones born with. the child is not exposed but the patterns are exposed and
4:11 am
the former that is happening today. in the cashew plantations of india dr and his mobile medical team visit survivors of one of the worst pesticide disasters in the world. the transition here or. here also is sort of spread by the. then. and he didn't move. when i look i've you know saturday. i would go online to. anyone that.
4:12 am
very. strange and handy. for living. every day with children who live and then don't want anyone. after but the fans noticed that. not having on the letterman might make storms like an ending all and some mean some activities or not relates so although they've done some bill and they've missed us he's having set of us. all this but i think. they're going to get it. but. then. they eat. that normally head in the. basement because it will get nasty. he
4:13 am
can do that we've been. so for now we'll play doesn't landed in distributors. it could be added to possibly have addition we have already had to have a dish done which includes pretty good use for the competency of the big mint this may be a city but a nice but we've been up in 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 morning doesn't make a nomination. you know. going in. and out of the. meeting i don't want to
4:14 am
let everybody know that i'm going out and. she doesn't absolutely norman said before they expose the fantasy. hold no 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 and itself it's just that she was 20 she was standing behind the eagle so if she has been this much before we did dismiss problems in the table she was not i would have . shows that she was normal that that then she was absolutely normal she was able to when we had a hiccup. then after spain see the lapses and became
4:15 am
a things. which are very very very. so that even we got my camera ok and i. say ok listen ok thanks. to some of this time. his name is obsessed he's often both of us. so so the notion of this head to the fullest will be as i'm going to all of
4:16 am
a spectacle. of some fun looking into. the sea of the u.s. government as one needs 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 years they're doing the same be it is very unfortunate. for gas to drop from grain leader of the great foreign gas bombs but good enemy
4:17 am
right it would gas against your community there is no reason for 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 a new markets for the same chemicals and so turned to food and 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. 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 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.
4:18 am
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 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
4:19 am
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 asides to a specialist lead paint to 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 1st politician that really took notice of this was president jimmy carter when i was gay regular leave office i had exhausted by
4:20 am
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 did was so palpable that they obstructed what i did so they were they i could do with issued 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 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 right i can tell you're selling. the sides
4:21 am
and pliable 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 health lawyers all unscrupulous companies and a lobbyist. is even more powerful than it was when i was 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 1st elected official after president carter who tried to stop the 2nd poison by introducing 3 bills in
4:22 am
1900. 12 when i 1st suggested we have a lot of pushback. by 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. it once and had to house representatives walk his frame to work lot harder . and they were able to stop it from being in the final we tried mightily work on saturdays weekends everything else. in the bill but could not get that part through . there are very powerful interests to make 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.
4:23 am
it's rumor you senator. you're the lead op 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 dance rhythms in our argument in 1990 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
4:24 am
united states can and do provide over the years rather than having those needs served by product producers pesticide. 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 filed a number of cases against companies it was the 1st time that we had really enforced j. vroom also had allies within the government linda fisher of the e.p.a. 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 months 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
4:25 am
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 produce. the big 6 are the 6 agricultural companies that control upwards of 75 percent of the global has to sign trade and the big 6 names are monsanto. dare suggest you can't n.b.a.'s and the 6 global corporations really controlled in terms of food in farming. bookie. you know they need to leave. your feet don't have to.
4:26 am
want to. if women i guess would not go many of them we fall but it gets a little offensive emails etc how did he come from. sunny in south moonshot just emphasize on not that i had an example but get a little put to me that can leave out 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 know my own previous. he was for 9 june funny in history and now. where the real me is the. good with good of good in the theater her you are not
4:27 am
a baby opening this i'm a metaphor for your cover well i'm not revokable i'm the i'm but his mom worked her whole life in the fields and so before the pregnancy she was working in the fields and for the 1st few months. in marrying her the travel he had. to see a bill she said but. so he's been diagnosed with cirrhosis of children. with a man example if you will of the travelled with the family about we had live in the interview beneath the secret police a result of the easter get out when he was born a little bit swollen but it's gotten much awareness and you're going to see a good operation and mainly took a look at his liver and in june they said that he just has about 3 years to live and that there is nothing they can do anything you know he. told me.
4:28 am
'd it 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 that it's having on on children you know. all. a survivor of a genocide there are people who beg me to kill them with and when they're suffering the father didn't have the heart to do it he's dedicated his life to searching the woods for bones of the victims of the srebrenica massacre. and here is the old. you know hope of finally laying the past to rest and giving peace to the victims' families. if i could just find a finger of i could bury bone hunter on al-jazeera.
4:29 am
in a world where journalism as an industry is changing we have fortunate to be able to continue to expand to continue to have that passen that drive and present the stories in a way that is important to our viewers. everyone has a story worth hearing to. cover those that are often ignored we don't weigh our coverage towards one particular region or continent that's why i joined al-jazeera . i don't deal with poverty unless you deal with the gap you decide oh i disagree with that toy this sounds like i would be labeling the public the country for the acronym not literally mean anybody these people are well trained much a part of the state machinery. very and the inspiration of popular literature teacher join me and the sun as i put it up for questions to my special guests and challenge them to some straight talking political debate. al-jazeera.
4:30 am
elephant hi dan i'm come all santa maria with a look at the headlines russia and turkey have reached a deal that allows kurdish fighters in northern syria to withdraw further away from the turkish border under the agreement russian and turkish forces will also conduct joint patrols korea launched its offensive in the area last week but suspended that operation following a u.s. brokered cease fire that the headlines britain's parliament's rejected prime minister barak's johnson's plan to fast track his brags that deal with the european union that means there is now little chance of the united kingdom leaving the block by the deadline of total 31st. we now face further uncertainty and the e.u. is now make up their minds eye over how to answer parliament's request for
4:31 am
a delay in the 1st consequence to speaker is that the government was taking the only responsible course and accelerate our preparations for a new deal and. the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine has wrapped up 10 hours of testimony before the peach mint choir into president donald trump democrats leading the deposition say william taylor has provided the clearest account that the u.s. president pressured ukraine to investigate a political rival in exchange for military aid and he government protests in chile and are being described as the worst to hit the country in nearly 30 years 15 people have been killed in the past 2 weeks the unrest started in the capital santiago over an increase in the cost of train tickets which is since been scrapped protests to say they're now fighting government oppression. an iraqi government inquiry has found security personnel used excessive force against protesters during the recent wave of anti-government demonstrations and $157.00 people were killed
4:32 am
during the weeks of protests there pakistan's government is taking diplomats and journalists to villages along the line of control that divides the disputed kashmir region it's now about says artillery fire from the indian side on sunday damaged houses and businesses new delhi says it was targeting terrorist training camps and egypt says the united states has offered to help break a deadlock with ethiopia a multi-billion dollar dam project on the nile river construction is now 70 percent complete it will provide electricity for ethiopians but egypt is worried the project will shrink its share of the river nile news hour in about 25 minutes for you on al-jazeera right now though it is back to 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
4:33 am
a very modern way to do farming and we've made poisons the measure of progress. even the other half of his. thing you want to get on him. and. he can encompass. one in there about how. they look if they are young enough again i'm going to also have. a hand a monkey than i did in this way that i mean that i. don't want to be done with even if. you get in and get out of a hat on a plane. probably the most dramatic way to understand the difference between domestic regulation and the lack of
4:34 am
regulation once you cross the border as it affects 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 1908 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 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 drop picture of
4:35 am
a person and found that the children in the non examples areas through 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. e u s n l r r g e in. the woman was on my list looking for men i was a ghost because when asked usually you mean that you will be only one of the 1000000. i'm in the thank you see plenty of time it's.
4:36 am
all for 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 laces that i like while bores are out there because you want to. say what is that what a mystical but i'll say it can end up you can't because i'm proved was a time at the talks of course. 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 my illustration here.
4:37 am
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 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
4:38 am
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 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
4:39 am
influential in political circles few years ago the complete. $100000000.00 expansion of the round up plan for instance and cancer we'd welcome our governor bobby jindal and our 1st lady so pretty agenda. governor jindal whose wife is a former monsanto 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 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 and nerves that go into that for pesticide when it's sprayed and to demonstrate this research it had to ponds with frogs in them and in one pond you just put the active ingredient of
4:40 am
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 form it turns out that it'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 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 or not studied as complete compounds that are isolated narrow 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 they're not
4:41 am
shouldn't private 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. the standard are given against. the health and environment and other regulations in the country in order for exposure is that it's harmful to business which of course is now this business can kill people freely more profitable than if you have to put it into you which do seem to look at if it some people want to know and if you do peer harming people of this just a matter. of fact it's kind of interesting in this country that. major industries
4:42 am
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 heal us a so then the ideas if it will cool will kill people who are more vulnerable and that's what the export is but yes it's good for business and that it. he hooked them into the handbag asked them had man done that in america a couple. of the.
4:43 am
in the last not the legislative got only 90000 international month i mean i don't but i will. not in the world just cheeky just a fun month for matching the much of the answer the mama cass and the a modest online. video gave us about i'm all almost all the family me in the. rant the newness of growing up and you know knowing the say. soon the thank. you so for me on the again you on your buy them and they're going to be looking to go get susannah for a slowdown in the sun though think the media have beat us to see. us in
4:44 am
a little demo you know the my company is going to show the recent book why didn't them immunity to the super awesome he it to supply us is that us is the one they're going come by their board you see that you're guessing at the brokerage no i don't think secrets on film will get us to trust you on it us today i'm. the wind me you know this you need to put the book where the book is when i see a bunch of them book and yeah you saw me put my pharmacy on it when you know. nobody except that lamont than me. and. i want be out of it and the 2nd fanatic they nia. there with philo that i see now we have a real 3 who. go on through the idea him there we have a real only hope that they have firm he he went to see the big.
4:45 am
one i saw he's on it or not there. is a look at me on a bus are you going to. begin your ma norm. that is actually on on this yet then the a e can from a that any. many. non de mint that is not only you know. a took us a pass a missing. someone out another one of the month by month in a sickly body. only and only for mushroom. also the organ our city like a hornet. a 2nd funnel for neither one the form even for me i not all of the staff are not done by the doc and i mean that one in there for one moment and. you and she will listen for
4:46 am
me if i must say that i am but that my grandpa they. must pass on a concert i will not be allowed on by mathematica since your way back it's ironic and i mean bass. residents of it using go reported cancer rates to severe thats were $41.00 times the national average in argentina. you're. going to source you on a saw. you on it though is when you have sent money you can send them all. the fish is better and there may be some to my. cup of. tea or where my thought cable where activity that you both look aside the other
4:47 am
thing then hitch. in you say that number will come out of the book in all of whom i want to trust it will not end once you. did. not alone as i am not i am a nominal and when i saw my mother it was i know you know that i know what argument of an addict he went oh yeah she an honest you know one of my. c.m. and i support their life when i. can se and get any at that he called me when i get out of the hole last week. after i mean that we know daily if one of. them i met you not gonna lie or my medical so i got him a hook and i had a whole economy. despite these threats so fear and the mothers continued their fight they ultimately succeeded in getting a local ban on aerial pesticide spraying within 2500 meters of homes.
4:48 am
about 2 years ago the prime minister of bhutan invited me to help a ton become 100 percent organic so what we've been doing in these 2 years is my team goes twice a year and works for the farms and the brittany's come and train at our farm and there are those where we practice and we go logical and without it with no chemicals and we have the best and of it at all we have lots and lots of insects. to trans ambitious plan to make all local farms organic would make it the 1st country in the world to convert to a fully organic agricultural system and ban the sale of pesticides.
4:49 am
assemble a. it has been always very important because our country has very little land under cultivation and of the whole country we have only about it percent of the under section the edge of a and off that because of our limited human resources we only contributing to one 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 this organic matter so that the soil doesn't degenerate the soil just. because generations this is the only the land that we have to farm on and on to use it up in one generation and not leave productive land for the next generation so it has always been a tradition that is taking candle.
4:50 am
