3:00 pm
al jazeera with. 200 hours g.m.t. here on al-jazeera i'm kemal santa maria these are the headlines israel intensifying its aerial bombardment of gaza killing a mother and her 3 sons by means all up 119 palestinians including 31 children have been killed since the offensive began on monday. 5 of the $220.00 rockets towards israel hitting the city of ashkelon at least 8 people have died in israel since the conflict escalated and the israeli military is deploying troops and has plans for a ground offensive to stop this from needed abraham she's in ramallah in the
3:01 pm
occupied west bank all in all it's been a tough night for palestinians in gaza we've seen people in and tens of families having to evacuate their houses mainly in the northern part of the gaza strip because of the artillery intense artillery shelling of the gaza strip and the we're seeking refuge in an inner west kuwait in on the west pool of let's remember that there is no safe place in gaza people don't have access to shelters. outbreaks of violence as well at some protests this is bethlehem where israeli security forces have moved in volleys of tear gas fired in new c. makeshift barricades in the street also hebron as well there have been large groups of palestinians demonstrating there so let's check in with gary force that who's in southern israel harry an update from you. well just in the last
3:02 pm
column is well we've been on another volley of rockets heading in this direction and the iron dome interceptors the blasts of connecting up in the sky around us we're at the position here where there was an enormous artillery barrage which took place towards northern gaza through the night last night right now it is quiet we have seen 3 rocket shows strike 3 artillery shells fired from behind us during the time that we've been here but there was as i say this very big operation in the northern part of gaza we saw a lot of armored vehicles and tanks moving south as this repeated barash took place and strikes from the air all concentrated on north northern gaza at one point the israeli military said that it was attacking in the ground attacking gaza sorry inside gaza from the ground that was interpreted to mean that there was some kind
3:03 pm
of actual military invasion going on now there is reporting in the israeli media that that may have been a deliberate ploy designed to mobilize the tunnel network in that area and the people. that would be used to fight off such a ground invasion for a major air strike $450.00 missiles dropped from $160.00 aircraft in that operation a few hours later around 3 am local time there was a huge attack on the israeli city of ashkelon coming out of gaza from the hamas rockets we were there we experienced it it was an extremely intense attack i have to say so far on this friday things are in a low whether that persists whether that was a last major operation on both sides or whether there is more to come we'll have to wait and see ok to talk to you again the next hour a force that in southern israel. couple of other stories
3:04 pm
a bomb has exploded inside a mosque in the afghan capital killing at least 12 people and injuring more than 20 others a spokesman for the kabul police says the explosives were put in the mosque ahead of friday prayers this blast on the 2nd day of a 3 day ceasefire between the taliban and the afghan government for the 8 holiday there have been no claims of responsibility for the attack. and a severe shortage of coronavirus vaccines is forcing some indian states to try to secure more doses from overseas on the side of punjab has said it is joining the un backed kovacs scheme excuse me near and remote is government says it hopes more than $2000000000.00 additional jobs will be available from august however it has also been accused of abdicating its responsibility by making the states compete against each other for banks and those are your headlines on al-jazeera coming up next the price of progress.
3:05 pm
3:06 pm
a regulation so we don't do. crazy things because maybe sometimes we would do crazy things i don't know but i'll accept that we have regulation we want regulation i was in this. and if we don't behave then the aspinall to that's fine. obviously the the industry makes money of course it does if the industry did not make money how many people would be out of work. or sort of the last concern the public interest in the public safety is definitely not taking precedent corporate interests corporate profits have been getting priority with the regulator so that needs to change and one of the big ways to do that is just to require transparency. we as we love transparency we would like to publish everything we use. it's just not allowed
3:07 pm
and we use if so cannot say we don't care there's intellect or property rights but we are if so we publish everything's it would just be breaking the law. they prefer intellectual property. to the health of children. if you make money out of selling pesticides how much incentive. does these companies do these companies have to get us off pesticides will they make sure that we get to use less pesticides or will they make sure that we use always more pests. today the industry prefers to spend millions of euros in not being to delay regulations instead of researching substitutes in how to make these things do. frankly.
3:08 pm
it's in the industry's interests to bring food to the tables that is safe that is high quality. that is reasonably priced so that you and i and all of those people working in food industry can also sit down and eat good nutritious food every day as a way to hope i see. progress involves risk you are referring to are 2 accidents industrial incidents white students or people who are injured or people die every time this happens for industry in general it's a defeat. however those incidents also lowers to improve to do it better next time and to progress and there is no progress without an analysis of risk versus going from. what is progress
3:09 pm
is progress moving forward whatever and using any technology we are capable of inventing but it's not because we know how to do something that it's useful and that it's good for for the people we put some intelligence on what the technology and what progress is i don't think that progress is ruining the future generations house by using tons of chemicals that that can that can create disease and if cancer. to someone who's 20 years old that's not progressed.
3:10 pm
if we were today was a precautionary principle probably would not have airplanes would not exist because airplanes sometimes they fall down so there is a risk we would not have automobiles because every year in europe 5060000 people die with little more. precautionary principle i think is a disaster. and yet what we are now more and more advocating. and your place is to undergo church we are farming in europe we have less substances north americans or south americans with less you know with seeds because
3:11 pm
we don't use most we don't use technology. i mean it doesn't make sense we want to participate and be competitive on a global scene or not. and in europe we have this romantic idea of. business people. they would never cultivate something that is dangerous and they would never cultivate something they don't need they're just business people and we should get them to the business and. i and we can't expect them to act in any other way except as business.
3:12 pm
the only way that would change is if there is a root and branch revolution in the way that we do business and that would need to involve all corporations all over the world because as long as we treat food like a global commodity. we have a very big problem. and part of that problem is that food will go to the highest bidder and the highest bidder may not be someone that wants to feed the highest bidder maybe someone who wants to feed your car this is entirely the wrong way to look at food food should be food.
3:13 pm
i would be. all about making money. in profits it's about because. it's about an informative. big uniform lannes with one group action. it's about corporate control. and it's mostly also economically it's about international markets in particular. it's all about companies controlling involve way places lends great support commodities this is not about food production it's not about feeding people. industrial agriculture is
3:14 pm
a form of for mining. and it produces raw materials and then you subject raw materials to various uses and the most of the uses go into animal food and textiles fiber fuel whatever you have. the rest of it can't be sold more expensive to some other use will go into processed in food processing. so it's food and i says that she always food business transaction food is both so we all need to eat that's for sure but in europe we have a very comfortable full stomach conversation. we haven't had a famine in europe hundreds of years so we have no idea what it means to have the choice between one tomato and no tomato we have tend to want doesn't really matter
3:15 pm
to us if we have a jew moat. and i think we are. unaware of the impact of decisions here on countries where there is no food no with a. big confusion between. general interest and in the interest of industry because the priority is jobs and growth and it's like growth it drops all reported that people's lives. if the so food industry is successful it will create more jobs it will create more value added it will create more growth so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interests of the industry but this should be a communal fight. modern i recall sure relies on side the rights relies on procedure in forming which is
3:16 pm
a connection between such a digital machinery and then all of the tools which are available for farmers. unfortunately i think europe is losing its edge as far as food production and agriculture because of overly. conservative restrictive regulation and these trade off between progress and risk is not what i understood and. i think europe is the best potential to be easy leading agricultural region in the world we should be the ones with the best jobs and the most invested in seeds in
3:17 pm
hybridization genetic space the size chemicals machinery we should be because we have everything we need to succeed and my fear is that we are not using this potential to its maximum. what we want to see is something very different is a model built on diversity on biological diversity that is you know different crops planted together crop rotations. do we get as humanity our act together to change and reconfiguring together how we operate on this planet. we will make ourselves up something. that's a defining moment and we have to put the technologies in place where they belong they have to be then assistant to golds while many people if i say that would say
3:18 pm
yes yes of course makes sense but. i have not understood that this is not where we are now we are now defining future visions through technology lenses but i want to turn it around i want that we have a collective vision where we want to be in how we want to design our environment and our food system that operates within the planetary boundaries as scientists so if in defining where it respects the rules of the planet. and not vice versa that we manipulate our planet to the point where it meets our needs in economic terms. what progress do we want are we willing to trade. so most of the benefits for some
3:19 pm
of the risk because we're facing a world. which is more and more globalized so we are up against. other parts of the world which do not always play it with the same growth. there are geopolitical issues and boss of the world where there is less food and we need to find ways to get food to those parts of the world either through and through producing it themselves and to produce more food on the same amount of land and as we told you as more we called use more resources.
3:20 pm
no i can say you know they momento. to supply the commander of the 4 muscles obviously yes accumulate gautami come in and it is in the. militias that allowed us the place you ask us ok i remember we were on. a dial he made it go. do you imagine the number of chronic diseases that are in every family today. it is not due to new viruses or new microbes that have been found in all breast cancers for instance that's not true. so it is due to environment and to chronic
3:21 pm
poisons that outnumber and what down a chronic poisons this sign to be toxic initially and spread all over the place. best decide. one day you're going to use it in tissue did it come through the mom i know booklet i want and i'm critical dissident to your choice on your continuum not mama levin is he also merely go know what i said in my last. yoda more credited to beatrice how in your community can country mama in-flow model . just as he could in a medium of tolls among the cheeky thing to get to in the cell even. i in this is it the best thing i feel and so to doxy course said look.
3:22 pm
better not commit the most deliver are. usually i like boost the effort of my. game best to get over lost causes the lesson for me. is let's hit the market in the got out of the nato. if you will not to because have it gotten the other shoe stuff just kept whether any of this then putting them in your. local call me a high speed baby done the sec waste that bottle of beer is a council more people cars that are so stuff yes. this is some docs a gust but a lot of broke feel on by that system over more than 30 minutes i stuck in one piece i would suspect chaps yes to set it will up for them by side because on the
3:23 pm
no they think you know i can notice you don't you should put on the lead to most humorous you if you do you will be a few minutes we are stupid on the. last team out. to put up road to seem to be the only he can do modded thing as he did to for me until he moved. you're canadian she seemed for him to see goal of getting it by the old regime will she do about a loss here to getting into muddy get on the team talk to get through all into one pot make any more kimono em up we'll tell you when he had a lovely look at alliance and other given it a motherly 2 weeks and i already have a must built and then you can allow me more power in be fitted
3:24 pm
a meter lens while other less would be document them up not. is a cultural c.r.t. but i can put us in the light of what can only cut a 4 story arc gated ass and in limited government individual unaccomplished of individuality he had to see go look indeed like to the prison oil bloodily media no one here but i do the portable and shorter shield of my loss he's a villain plastic oh my lot of seat of the law ill i want to see only enough how thin they can for top of what i was cannot i say that the body will mother see if you never done them indeed. many of your points to modern agriculture have understood that it's easy to to
3:25 pm
scare people it's easy to to use fear as a strong emotional driver for a change in policy and for influencing policy that sometimes it's in the interests of the. anti industry groups to do that of course because achatz their network brings in money for them as well so i think we should look at this from both sides we sometimes have visits from them recently they invaded this building and they have done so before and threw manure and threatening letters and stuff at 1st but ok that's part of the game i suppose we do not want you know when we fight against and we fight against when we try and dialogue with people either we don't have the same weapons i sometimes have the feeling that we have both an arrows and they have atom bombs as soon as there's an engineer or
3:26 pm
a group of people who are against something maybe maybe the bandits maybe they stop using it in place of importing so in terms of development and trust i think we risk losing a lot of trust as a region when i say industry has the truth we know what in our products for example that if i if i make a product i mean you can go home this evening and make a buy area in your kitchen and you know what's in there and you write it down that is the truth sorry but you know we are an industry we know we put in our products we can tell you this is the truth this is what we put record in our products when i say we have the truth i'm talking about our not talking about philosophically the truth i'm talking about what we do we know what we do and we can talk about it.
3:27 pm
3:28 pm
also meant. so. i'm russell bait in southern england where 2 farmers turned safari park pioneers of that's their tractors and good mates in the driving seat i was just absolutely astonishing the life that poured back even not very fast so much and i mean. one by layering companies revolutionized. an artificial intelligence here
3:29 pm
inside you have the science you have the knowledge and the price on al-jazeera. in hebron boys breed and sly pigeons but in the occupied palestinian city boys are also close to watched by israeli forces at times and often arrested. a delicately told tales whom over 5 years of a coming of age in a place where even a child's imagination is every restricted the skies above hebron a witness documentary. we tout the untold stories. we speak when. he cut all sides. no matter where it takes us i prefer your fear syria and
3:30 pm
iran. and. impartial tell your stories we are your voice. al-jazeera. you're over the. part 2 of the price of progress is coming up but 1st a check on the headlines israel has intensified its aerial bombardment of gaza killing a mother and her $3.00 sons now $119.00 palestinians including 31 children have been killed since the offensive began on monday how mass 5 another $220.00 rockets towards israel hitting the city of ashkelon at least 8 people have died in israel since the conflict escalated but here we see instead the israeli military deploying troops building up its military hardware there with plans for
3:31 pm
a ground offensive near to the border now the palestinian red crescent said 101 people have been injured during outbreaks of violence with israeli security forces in the occupied west bank looking at bethlehem here 17 of those people have been shot with live ammunition large fires are tear gas were fired a little bit earlier at protesters in bethlehem. force in southern israel there were it must be said some protests of solidarity some 1500 people massing outside jerusalem at a junction between a palestinian israeli and jewish town a place known for good relations but then so many of these places that have erupted in this violence have been places where despite the racial tensions persist despite sort of occasional sparks of violence people do generally rub along together they they work together they do business they go to each other's places of work in shops
3:32 pm
and so i think that's why this has been so confronting. now the headlines an a bomb has exploded inside a mosque in the afghan capital killing at least 12 people and injuring more than 20 others a spokesman for the kabul police says the explosives were placed in the mosque ahead of friday prayers the blast comes on the 2nd day of a 3 day cease fire between the taliban and the afghan government for the holiday and no claims of responsibility for this attack and a severe shortage of coronavirus vaccines is forcing some indian states to try to secure more doses overseas government says it hopes more than $2000000000.00 additional jobs will be available from august but it's also been accused of abdicating its responsibility by making the indian states compete against each other for vaccines on friday india recorded 4000 deaths and more than 340000 new infections once again you're up to date with the headlines on al-jazeera back with the news hour in about 25 minutes. the health of
3:33 pm
humanity is at stake a global pandemic requires a global response. w.h.o. is the guardian of global health delivering lifesaving to school supplies and training to help the world's most found people uniting across borders to speed up the development of test treatment and of that scene working with scientists and health workers to learn all we can about the virus keeping you up to date with what's happening on the ground in the ward and in the land advocating for everyone to have access to essential health services now more than ever the world needs w.h.o. making a healthier world. for you. everyone.
3:34 pm
that is that companies have to submit studies to the european commission they do the studies themselves. they have to submit it to the european commission and to f. so so the european food safety authority and they have a tenet of experts that looks at the studies and then they say ok safe or not. so what we have found is that within these expert panels we have a lot of people with ties with the food industry so that means a conflict of interest.
3:35 pm
so if someone wants to authorize a product in europe let's say a plant protection product this person because this person of these companies the applicant has to provide data that allows us as the risk assess. whether this product is safe or not and this information comes from the applicant and the studies. that are commissioned by the applicant to allow us to assess the safety are paid by the applicant obviously so it's the intellectual property of the applicant and we can properly barks of these studies in the current legal framework but we also have to respect the business confidentiality claims of the africans so there's a balance to be found between transparency as much as possible but also to protect the investment of companies into their product innovations.
3:36 pm
exactly like in the middle ages you were asking to the priest what is the truth in the whole you ask to these scientists in regular to religion sees what is the truth and they act in the same manner as magician you know because they work in secret compounds we secretly effects they say that you cannot publish that however they say they have the truth. if you spend a huge amount of money doing a study a study on something where there's a lot of confidential information that you don't want. another company to copy paste of course not i mean you might have spent years all over sources so people time a lot of time
3:37 pm
a lot of money on doing this research. what if that does it otherwise it's all of that a publish the results so it will publish it will come out with a statement at the end. and it will publish the results but it won't publish all the details of what a lot of people want to see because there are a lot of people for a relative eyes all of us because it's not actually a lot of people but some people. want to see everything that's fine i think now it's actually all been published but you're talking about several thousands of pages i don't know who in his right mind would sit down and read through all of those pages i think is some parts can be blacked out but i would insist that that's to do with privacy so the relationship between our companies and research institutes and universities is quite strong as i mentioned before in many parts of the world it tends to be the public sector developing the products thanks to a relationship with the company maybe the company donated the technology the problem in europe for example is that in f.
3:38 pm
so that you mentioned before they have scientists assessing the products and the scientists have a obligation to have no conflict of interest that means they have to have had no relationship whatsoever with industry ever so if you're a scientist in europe. having any kind of dealing with a company closes a number of avenues of work later so again we are really champions in creating difficulties for ourselves in europe but the rest of the world is doing fine. but rather to how it's worked for monsanto and with me as my partner and why after . 2. his writings are john kerry worth and next to john is me me right line of.
3:39 pm
the. thank you very much you know your college to the 2nd panel which you look. at the transparency and use of scientific studies and yes this month of life a seed in the united states and the hopefully will provide insight into the so-called monsanto papers thank you very much for inviting me to be here today as a journalist for some 30 years now i'm someone who has spent most of my life focusing on facts pursuing the truth i spent roughly 20 of those 30 years delving into the dealings of monsanto and i can confidently tell you that the story of the company's top selling chemical gleick to say is not one of truth but one of deceit
3:40 pm
it's sort of a treasure trove a look inside a very big and powerful company that has been very secretive you know for decades and a lot of the information is quite alarming when it comes to public health and safety associated with the use of their popular product like the same round up another way in which months and who has manipulated regulators and the public by establishing networks of scientists around the world to support its agenda and its message about the safety of this chemical months and no end or the months in a back like this a task force pays them they lobby regulators they author papers sensually to push this message that the chemical is safe there are many individuals and there are many types of different relationships that we've seen in these documents you can see here that professor david kirk a. as one such paid expert monsanto has relied on.
3:41 pm
in 2012 months and was very worried about you know toxicity questions arising from life is a research gauge kirkland monsanto needed someone to help counter these concerns that were persisting what bill haden's wrote in that email i think i was just naive and it clearly did not lead to any policy decision we all have decades of experience in the industry and then a full week have reputations to maintain and that means that there is no point in us being responding to the influence of one stakeholder over another because those reputations would be destroyed i can say absolutely and categorically categorically
3:42 pm
this paper was not ghost written we all imports our own sections to the paper there was no import involvement or influence of the review on months and thinking. well it seems apparent that monsanto actually fears real independent authentic science monsanto said itself it feared the i.r. review when it found n n 2014 this is before that down before the classification monsanto says it fears this it says internally that it knew it had vulnerability in epidemiology toxicology geno talks and officials even predicted the glyphosate would warrant a possible or probable rating with respect to f c n n. you know absence of process is defined as a peer review and i understand that and that's i. i don't have a problem with that peer review problem in this case is that's not was done nobody went back and verified the findings on the original studies and by failing to
3:43 pm
verify those findings it cascaded through the entire review process such that you don't have the answer which is based on the best science i think that these important to mention that we have doing in the proper independent the sussman. accordingly we did so so that we have enough so according to the regulations that focus on the use of the active sessions and based on. the recesses we got to be in the independence from industry is clear in the legislation i would say these is the basic principle big company that the ones to market something the e.u. must pay for the assessment so the studies have conducted by industry there is no doubt the current process is scientifically flawed it is time to have an independent panel of scientists to evaluate the way in which the science is reviewed there is a need for the regulatory agencies to really analyze the data and there is a need to publicly publicly release all of the analyses and data to improve the
3:44 pm
transparency of this process these are not the actions of a company that has nothing to hide this is not how you promote a product this is that's actually proven safe this is how you whitewash unfortunate and unprofitable facts. this is not by accident but by design and it serves monsanto very well but it does not seem that it serves the public interest thank you. monsanto prepared certain documents for the registration and the f so report if you look at it has taken directly certain language from the monsanto documents and just placed it in the report so there's a lot of concern about whether f they really did an independent analysis or whether they just took the position to be against. monsanto's request so that is not an independent assessment how can we therefore expect that on the basis of such robust
3:45 pm
science and i'm quoting industry we can make a decision politicians in that you can make a decision to protect their people that if somebody you know has said hello to the industry at some stage in his life that should not mean that that particular scientists should be banned from a panel or. research has been funded by someone many of the scientists that have a lot of them have now left the. organization and their science panels because they have been accused of having worked with the industry but since when does that make a scientist dishonest. why so that having worked with the industry some years ago on a small project at some stage i did i'm a scientist by training and when i was in university of course i was looking for a grant to do my research because some research can cost a lot of money i was helped by industry i haven't spoken to that particular
3:46 pm
industry now for many many years it's been a long time since i was in call it. but that doesn't mean i'm dishonest as a scientist. now you're against a region where influence is very high and those are regions look at europe for for regulation. and that's why it's so important that europe keeps the regulation which is scientific which is database and which as much as possible besides
3:47 pm
results being influenced by. by i would say by militias or by just emotions and fear. when science meets values and it's becoming complicated. we come with science with evidence we do scientific process of risk assessment but then this evidence is given on another stage on the policy level where beliefs emotions values come in and what we see is if politicians don't like the outcome of our risk assessment they don't question their belief they question the validity of the process so basically if succumbs with an opinion let's continue it's insecticides.
3:48 pm
politicians love if so they wonder food have so you're protecting the bees you're doing the right thing really good work down there so we all applaud to you and if the same process with the same people with the same scrutiny comes with a conclusion let's say your life is it people say i'm sorry i don't like this outcome if so should not say that i have to say it is relatively safe so if so must be corrupt i find this very bizarre you know regulations is independent of corporate influence and. everything is a test. actually tested. with a lot of money and authorities are looking at it independently. i don't know where these people have been living. even in some of the mainstream you do
3:49 pm
find reports that clearly explain that this is not happening we are seen corporate capture not only in the sciences sciences is one of the fields we see corporate capture in every walk of life. i'd like to say it seems to be very highly charged not because of the safety of classes but because of g.m. because of monsanto because of international trade maybe even because of inequality with global trade. and yes it's a must for health statistics each venue for such a book about that in a oprah done of must from there from take. your
3:50 pm
extreme. searchin for mr van impe you for such for both good and. for love. but of course if the scientists works for the company that's a different story but i think we need to be a little bit more. realistic about what it is we want do we want the best scientists to assess the products the gas to make sure they're safe all do we want to make sure there's no conflict of interest what is the objective is that the safety of the product because of the conflict of interests of the of the scientist i think we need to be a bit more. honest and trustworthy without falling into the mistakes and so that's not something that we're looking for. the experts we use are as independent as possible but i think also here it's not black or white
3:51 pm
it's not seer or one that's not the digital binary approach we have to find the right balance between the best expertise which means people that have done research that people that are with both their feet in the scientific endeavor and on the other hand to make sure that there is no conflict of interest and if i may say also but i think europe needs to make a decision whether we know i think or stop you. yes i thought leads to far. out of course but i think this time nothing only from which the mice but they don't have the impulse to cut off he got there then and that's one last time $101.00 telephone anything is a total of the billions they're left on my shyness but i am plump and thinks that i
3:52 pm
100 buy in from here and last are going to you know one thing like that i live in nothingness when enough like on t.v. i press one of can often put a compliment to sell us but if we have a local machine open it but i'm into opium in a country. like auntie got the passion of cooking of a hunt in the home yet and of is that balance but if we. move it out of the. country not that of the mother. so yes precautionary principle is and by scientific n.e.t.'s i think. a big issue for european economy in general because it reduces. the willingness of investment. there is a risk even reaching a new presses and. this is a risk. this is
3:53 pm
a benefit i'm i would need to take this risk yes or no and the regulation today. gives us an answer. if you look at the core of today it is much safer than the car yesterday you know the 1st car that i drove in when i was a boy and my father was writing no safety belt and i was no i had no air by going on new a.b.s. and and yet the a car maker was not a murderer. is a car was like this. and it was a very safe car for the time and i'm not saying that betty says of 950. you know where fantastic but by then they were very good night and then we discover that they have some side effects and then the regulation evolves in regulation becomes more demanding and especially sides are banned or always drawn from the company and that's normal that's normal. of any industry the power of innovation doesn't come
3:54 pm
from the big companies the big companies are too big to be innovative anymore they just want to preserve their privileges but they're not innovating anymore look at look at the g.m. and the pesticides we're dealing with g.m. plants that were developed 30 years ago nothing has changed it's another side resistance since the beginning it's all chemicals or something of asian. innovation is that we now have in addition to roundup ready and run a business to plant we have become resistant plants and 2 for de resistance plants so we're getting an even more cocked toxic cocktail that's innovation. has to get it's just has to get. benefits versus risk right what is a risk you're willing to accept on the environment even if it's very small in order
3:55 pm
