4:00 am
plus thousands of our programs are good when documentaries and data from news reports. subscribe to you chief forward slash al-jazeera english. hello adrian from going to here in doha the top stories on al-jazeera the 1st palestinian general strike in decades has been held in occupied territory and israel but it ended with further violence and bloodshed 4 people were killed more than 160 were injured in the west bank on tuesday 2 israeli soldiers were wounded the event was called in support of people under bombardment in gaza al jazeera abraham was speaking to a demonstrator alive there when gunfire broke out. what makes you think this.
4:01 am
to. crowds are leaving we're not sure what's going on both are safe and need our continued reporting from ramallah throughout the day another of our correspondents who are a force that was in bethlehem he tells us how the day unfolded. this is a well one road at one end palestinian protesters driven by years of occupation what 2 recent human rights reports have defined as a party and good and sustained by events in jerusalem in gaza at the other implacable militarized position of the israeli forces blocking the way and more. this is how this day would play out huge shows of force pushing back the crowd then young men in small groups gradually approaching within tens of meters of the
4:02 am
israeli fortifications peppering them with rocks and glass marbles. the israeli tactics varying from attempting to russian detain them to overwhelming them with tear gas and foul smelling water to considerably worse so israeli forces are strengthening their position after those stone throwers got pretty close to the checkpoint here and as you can see on the road just in front of us a sniper team has taken a position. later as we reported live there was no rushing no show of force simply sniper fire from a protected position on unarmed protesters one man fell injured in front of us and was taken out by ambulance one among many here among dozens across the occupied west bank. near the illegal settlement of a del close to ramallah the gunfire was at one point going both ways this is a rare shooting attack on an israeli military position during a confrontation a sign of the seriousness of this current upsurge in violence 2 palestinians were
4:03 am
killed here 2 israeli soldiers injured i think. just on the spot because we are leaving this pressure we are living under this discrimination. that's that's the. this equation this has been declared a national strike and a day of rage observed to an occupied east jerusalem confrontations breaking out at damascus gate i was there. and in shift where a long simmering protest against forced expulsions of palestinians has in part fueled this wider violence in the southern occupied west bank city of hebron a palestinian was shot dead by israeli forces who said he was carrying a knife a homemade gun and an explosive device. a brutal day to add to the tally of the last week or it will sit bethlehem in the occupied west bank israel's continued its
4:04 am
bombardment of gaza at least 220 palestinians have been killed since the military offensive against hamas and other palestinian groups began a week ago the palestinian death toll includes 63 children or 1500 palestinians have been injured. the u.n. is calling for border crossings to be reopened to provide badly needed humanitarian aid into gaza a convoy of international aid trucks had started to roll in a one point but israel suddenly closed the crossing again citing security issues francis filed a resolution with the u.n. security council calling for a cease fire president of money awak role as used as a major summit to push for peace he had talks with egypt's president fattah el-sisi in paris while jordan's king abdullah joined by video link the 3 agreed to launch a humanitarian initiative for palestinian civilians in gaza well as the headlines one is fear after the price for progress coming up next.
4:05 am
'd we live in a world where. industry doesn't want any regulation they just want to put products
4:06 am
on the market. we need 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 to regulation i was in this. and if we don't behave as if you're spinning that's fine. obviously that 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
4:07 am
and we as if they cannot say we don't keer there's intellect or property rights but 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 deal. regulations instead of researching substitutes and how to make these things differently.
4:08 am
it's in the industry's interests to bring food to the tables that a safe 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 help us. progress involves risk you are referring to are 2 accidents industrial incidents while serious or people who are injured or people die every time this happens for industry in general it's a defeat. however those incidents also allows to improve to do it better next time and to progress and there is no progress without an analysis of risk versus going through. the fast what is progress
4:09 am
in its 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 should put some intelligence on what 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 promised me.
4:10 am
if we were today was. 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 $5060000.00 people die we do it will be a. precautionary principle i think is a disaster. and yet what we are now more and more advocating. and you replace these 2 other culture we are farming in europe we have less
4:11 am
substances north americans or south americans with less you know with seeds because we don't use. 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 farmlands that business people. 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.
4:12 am
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 you the highest bidder maybe someone wants to feed your car this is entirely the wrong way to look at food food should be sued.
4:13 am
i will be. all about making money. making profits it's about pick or peroration. 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 imported sport it's all about companies controlling in faraway places lands great sport commodities this is not about food production it's not about feeding people.
4:14 am
industrial agriculture is a form of 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 few or 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 a 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
4:15 am
choice between one tomato and not tomato we have tend to want doesn't really matter to us if we have a g.m.o. tomato not you 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 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
4:16 am
a connection between satellites 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 in agriculture because of overly. conservative restrictive regulation and this trade off between progress and risk is not what i understood you know. 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
4:17 am
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 as you know different crops planted together crop rotations. don't we get as humanity our act together to change and reconfiguring together how we operate on this planet. we will make ourselves obsolete. that's a defining moment and we have to put the technologies in place where they belong they have to be then assistant to our goals while many people if i say that would
4:18 am
say 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 and 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 year benefits for some
4:19 am
of the risk because we're facing a world. which is more and more globalized so we are pecans to. other parts of the world which do not always play 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.
4:20 am
no i can say you know the momentum. to support the commander of the for the muscles obviously yes the cuban economy come in and saying no to mr miller's that allowed us to place your skull in the cloud ok i remember we were on. a $1000000000.00 he made it. 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
4:21 am
poisons that are in a moment what on a chronic poisons this one to be toxic initially and spread all over the place. pesticide. one day you're going to use it in tissue did it come to the mom i know booklet i work and i'm critic dissident or your choice on your continuum enough to mama 11 is he also merely go know what i said in my life. the older and more credited to the dress her new community new country mama in-flow model. you mean just as he could in a medium of tolls a mile before richie q e 3 in the to in the cell even. in this is it the best thing i feel and so did toxic cause so look
4:22 am
a 1000000. dollars. better not come at the most 11 or. they pay the early tuesday of for them i say we came best to get over last cover the lesson for me. is liquidity mocha the got out of the navy. if you will are not the biggest have ever gotten the other shoe stuff just kept whether any of this led to putting them in your. local call me a high speed baby done the sec waste a total of minutes of control more people cause that i saw stuff yes. lost control list this is an oxy gust but a lot of broke feel on by that system over more than 30 minutes i stuck in one
4:23 am
piece i would suspect yes yes the separate will up for them by side because on the no they think you know i can order she don't you should put on your leave me demasi want to see you if you do you will be a few minutes we are sleeping on the. last tiem out kitty come to put up road to seem to be the only. thing as he did to for me until he moved. the archimedean see the scene for what he'll do she can look good in it but i don't know that she will see her but unless you take it in in the case on the 18th or you get through element at one point make any more kimono they must be able to give you really had a lovely look at our own saliva get in it a model or 2 with an audience they must feel today can we can let me more and be
4:24 am
telling them later lancelot are the last we'll be talking about tomorrow no. calculus you are fit but a composite of an individual but can only correct posture eochaid at last a limited to individual individual and he had to see kentucky indeed go to the personnel blood of the media not will but go to the op or toggle as short a shield or my last field in plastic or my last seat or the lock in i want to see only in the south in the kampar top of laws cannot last see that their body will marvel see a few now then the man media. many
4:25 am
of us your points to modern agriculture have understood that it is easy to to scare people it's easy to to use fear as a strong emotion or. driver for a change in policy and for influencing policy 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 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
4:26 am
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's 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 ringback there and you write it down that is the truth sorry but you know we are an industry we know what 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 not talking about philosophically the truth i'm talking about what we do we know what we do and we can talk about it. thank.
4:27 am
god i'm on the. compound recover you don't need a man in the delivery assume visit something deep seeded this was. really hard. read the book listen to the need to solomon those here back to normal it. also. does evaluate show me a leisurely deceit is industry at. example a tad you. should do more on the hard way downtown in glasgow on out with only van and outward only rendition no wonder the bow. reduce you may. hope was shown the report we. know will not quadri coffee last year it is official
4:28 am
a south a coffee down here paula community chelsea feet. also met 2 more so . who can. almost hardly you know i've done this as a superstition on this one so i did have a problem us on top of. covert 99 has compounded the homelessness crisis in l.a. abandoned impoverished families a force of radical change he decided to say hey we're going to stand healthy as a human rights by claiming properties left vacant by the state the 1st thing i did
4:29 am
was i changed the locks my duty is to find out are safe that means breaking the law then i'm willing to do that for clients shelter in place ballets funked for housing on al-jazeera the world of high frequency shed trading exposed i had this engine that was basically trading i could a lost $30000000.00 it was a terrifying experience how to fish an intelligence has raised the stakes and risks on the money markets is markets go faster and faster we are opening up the possibility for instability for no. money bonds on al jazeera. people have come to expect a lot from al-jazeera over the years it's the reporting the commitment to on the reporter places the commitment to the human story. but it's also the idea of challenging does and power if a politician comes on this channel they will be challenged and that's what people
4:30 am
expect of us they want the questions oncet. that is what we've always done and that's what we will continue to do. hello again adrian figure here in doha the headlines on i was here are the 1st palestinian general strike in decades has been held in occupied territory and israel but it ended with full of violence and bloodshed 4 people were killed more than 160 injured in the west bank on tuesday 2 israeli soldiers were wounded the event was called in support of those under bombardment in gaza al-jazeera is made to abraham was speaking to a demonstrator live on the air when gunfire broke out. what makes you think that
4:31 am
this. crowd are living we're not sure what's going on both safe and neda continued reporting from ramallah throughout the day israel's continued its bombardment of gaza at least 220 palestinians have been killed since the military offensive against hamas and other palestinian armed groups began a week ago the u.n. is calling for border crossings to be reopened to provide badly needed humanitarian aid into gaza a convoy of international aid trucks and started growling at one point but israel suddenly closed the crossing again citing security issues but in the past few hours israel's air defense system known as the iron dome has intercepted more rocket fire from gaza at least 12 people have been killed in israel since the start of the conflict including 2 children. u.s. president joe biden has been met with rage in one of the battleground states that
4:32 am
had a day in last november's election hundreds of proved palestinian protesters marched outside a ford manufacturing plant in michigan as biden visited to talk up electrical electric vehicle initiative steering his speech he directly addressed the palestinian american congresswoman russia to lipe i want to say to you that i had my or your intellect i admire your passion and i admire you concern for so many people hence my from my heart i'm free your grandmamma and family are well i promise from your you see that you are in the west bank your fighter in god thank you for being. france has filed a resolution with the u.n. security council calling for a ceasefire president of media like wrong as used to major summits to push for peace and those are the headlines let's get you back to the price of progress.
4:33 am
4:34 am
that is that companies have to submit studies to the european commission they do the studies themselves. they have to submit it's to the european commission and to f. so so the european food safety authority and they have a penalty experts that looks at the studies and then they say ok it's safe or not. so what we have found is that within these expert panel she has a lot of people with ties with the food industry so that means a conflict of interest.
4:35 am
so if someone wants to authorize a product in europe let's say a plant protection product this person because this person or this company the applicant has to provide data that allows us as the risk assessors to judge 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 parts of the studies in the current legal framework but we also have to respect the business confidentiality claims of the applicants 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.
4:36 am
exactly like in the middle ages you were asking to the priest what is the truth in the whole you are asked 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
4:37 am
a lot of money on doing this research. what if that does it underlies 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.
4:38 am
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 words and next to john is me right line of.
4:39 am
the. thank you very much your college for the 2nd panel which 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
4:40 am
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 to say to round up another way in which months and who has manipulated regulators in 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 that taskforce 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.
4:41 am
in 2012 months and was very worried about you know toxicity questions arising from life as a research lending 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 we have reputations to maintain and that means that there is no point in us being responding to the influence of of one stakeholder over another because those reputations would be destroyed i can say absolutely and categorically categorically this paper was not ghost written we all imports our own sections
4:42 am
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 out in 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.'s in echo. 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
4:43 am
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 assessment. accordingly we do so so that we have enough so according to the regulations that focus on the use of the active sessions and based on a generator be cesspools we got to be in the independence from industry is clear in the legislation i will say these 6 is the basic principle big company the ones to market something the e.u. must pay for the assessment so the studies are 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
4:44 am
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 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
4:45 am
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 i said hello to the industry at some stage in his life that should not mean that that particular scientist 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 after organization and their science panels because they have been accused of having worked with the industry but for since when does that make a scientist dishonest why should 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
4:46 am
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 inference 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
4:47 am
without being influenced by. by i would say by militias or by just the 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 our 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 so comes with an opinion let's say. insecticides.
4:48 am
politicians love if so they wonder food have so you're protecting the bees you're doing the right thing really good work than i have 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
4:49 am
find reports that clearly explain that this is not happening we are seeing corporate capture not only in the sciences sciences this 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. for health statistics each $22.00 for such a book about it in that oprah. mocks how to take. the
4:50 am
checks to you. searchin for mr van impe you for such for both good and. beloved. 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 are. the experts we use are as independent as possible but i think also here it's not black or white
4:51 am
it's not seer or one that's not the binary approach we have to find the right balance between the best expertise which means people that have done research the 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 follow. on of course but i think this time nothing on this from which i must buy they don't have the impulse to cut off he got there then and that's fun us to have a 101 telephone anything is a total of the bill is there enough to mention it but i am plump and thick instead
4:52 am
of a 100 but if we're in the 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 up in it but i'm into opium in a country. like auntie that the patron of cooking of a hunt in the home he had to know is that alice 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 restring a new pressure saying. this is a risk. this is
4:53 am
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 corner 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 riding no safety belt and i was no i had no air buy i get a new a.b.s. and and yet the a car maker was not murder. the 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 are withdrawn from the company and that's normal that's normal. of any industry the power of innovation doesn't
4:54 am
come 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 round up ready and run a business compliance 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 a. benefit versus risk right what is a risk you're willing to accept on the environment even if it's very small in order
