in argentina preparing to give their national team a heroes welcome after the sign beat france nfl to shoot out to wind the world comp . these are pictures, live pictures now from bernice iris in argentina said look. has because people have already begun gathering on the street in preparation for that scene survival in the next few hours. these people, these pictures are from the argentine football associations, facilities where the national team is expected to arrive late. that's it for me. take him, miss. ah, our games on the melting ice a reporter tracks down the arctics. major players with you see something that looked like they

responded has to do with the military. do picking arctic blue starts december 23rd on d w. ah. ah . no, not a listing. they were driving to a genetically modified g m o porn plantation financed by warren buffett son multi billionaire bill gates and monsanto. the largest producer of pesticides and g m. o . c. overly called a busy days with

september 2018. i didn't know it then, but this morning and uganda, what shape the next 3 years of my journalistic career? i think i see clubs of it. i think it's plays with social work. i would have here it is. i said it's marked field testing site for genetically engineered plants and next to as the restricted entry of caught up. wow. ah hm. oh,

you're good morning. i'm interested in american investment and we're gonna so i just wondered if we could snap a bunch of pictures of the best shoes here. is the best thing to do with phone services. okay. if you, with we've made several requests for an official meeting. now things were getting uncomfortable with the i'm a good today called security guard. they're following up with you,

they're about to throw us out. they're looking for a new sheffield with we. another one comes in, the intention is jesse with losing lives in los in death. just because we wanted to film a field of genetically modified corn, why such hostility on social media, the tone is quite different. take this official video of howard buffett talking about funding this g m o cornfield in uganda. the morning when i remember when i sat down last here,

and i was trying to explain how this project is, can work it. the only way you can say is we're going to bring you rain and they look at you like, why are you going to do that? i see it, but buffets miracles can only happen at farmers adopt new technologies and abandoned traditional farming. a rich white benefactor telling africans what to do reminiscent of the colonial era. so the next few years, we hope that you can learn how to improve some of your planting. ah, why are we not allowed to film here? because in the world of genetically modified organisms or g m o's control is paramount every word and every image is carefully cultivated. for this social networks offer an ideal platform. imagine what it's like the live in extreme

poverty. you have to think about the basics, like your next meal, all the time on instagram. this kind of corn is portrayed as a blessing for africa because it fights hunger. it's not called genetically modified, but rather resistant or drought tolerant. in less than 10 years, social media has become a vital tool online. even billionaires present themselves as human, authentic and transparent, transparent, really? ah, we took a hard look at the world of these rich philanthropists who dream of genetically modified africa. what we found in places their dream is already a reality. if you have enough money, you get to determine what the right path is for a set of countries as diverse as there are in africa. our foundation is proud to be

a part of that. i with our $700000000.00 commitment, an amount of only vito, they push philanthropic and humanitarian goals. i mean it's him realities, y'all, they're promoting something else in time. well, the, i have seen us monday unit a ship there funding, high risk research and of leap into the unknown little incl new. this is actually hungry cultural geo politics. in our research, we came across the wide spread idea that if you have a large personal fortune, you can save the world a phenomenon that people were calling philanthropy capitalism. and it was an idea that you can essentially marry some of the ideas of corporate growth and corporate profit making with the goal of the philanthropy. and this is problematic in reality, saving the world in the age of philanthropy. capitalism is

a profitable business to understand how these cheerleaders of g m, o technologies work, we turn to one of their favorite media platforms. instagram, we create an account and follow their pages in. on instagram, there are g, m, o advocates. and there are opponents. some are violent we also find african instagram or darlin cassim. with her 24000 followers, she's using the platform to further her cause. i'm dialing castillo, you go, i started an environmental organization. the young activist from the ivory coast is an eco feminist. fighting for environmental protection and women's rights. yet actually, last i saw this nature and women are massively exploited by our society. at the

same time, they're deeply undervalued. ah, we asked the act of is to help us with our research both on the ground and on instagram, to find out what's happening on her continent. i said more clearly 3 percent of african field sod, jameel areas just under full minion hector, compared to $60.00 to $70000000.00 heck t as in not in america as a result. this huge potential that and you frontier on google foot. mm. it all began in 1997 when south africa became the 1st african country to pass legislation allowing g m o. 2 decades later,

the countries soy mays and cotton crops, are almost 100 percent genetically modified. since then, the market has been expanding just like a technological advance, such as running water or internet access. g m o's, or conquering the continent, tanzania, kenya, uganda, sudan, egypt, nigeria, burkina, faso and the ivory coast. ah, abidjan, the economic capital of ivory coast here genetic engineering is on the rise, though few people know about it. ah, the activist devlin casem as our guide ah, with

it marcus like these, there's no point in asking the sellers with their products to genetically modified . these g m, i mean anything to you ma'am? no, i didn't think so. what is o g, emma? g m a n g l? i don't know. i see people he don't know about g m. i was like genetically modified fruits and vegetables. activists on the other hand, are all too aware of the threat posed to traditional african agriculture. thank you to such an ugly future, or is it all you gotta keep? but his equity herancha culture is not very complex. the phone was mainly work with simple tools and you know, the most important i spoke with an agriculture the feeds people fair. she main agriculture. yeah. he's actually interviewed them. that of course is now under threat.

ah, he left with a party to party can so west africa is still not very developed as an economic heresy. therefore they see the chance to occupy this model. bmw g. m o's were banned in ivory coast until 2016, when a group of multi nationals approached the government with a deal. they promised to invest a large sum of money in agriculture, particularly rise production the goal they said to fight hunger. in return, they wanted the state to allow the research and marketing of genetically modified plants that, that the supreme thank god we can turn upon for lack of you. what we found was, were completely surprised when we heard that ivory coast was opening up to genetic engineering. since the contents of this law was mostly kept quiet,

we do not know what tools allowed or to put a pound last the longest, the multinationals, free rank synergy. now shanella i is there in libra, my lord of activity. if the minor recalls that work has been ruled, it has actually agriculture geo politics. the donors presented a strong argument thanks to them. drought and malnutrition would become a thing of the past, hulu. among the super rich who promot genetically modified agriculture, one man stands out. bill gates, the co founder of microsoft could be seen as the christopher columbus of genetic engineering, his charity, the bill and melinda gates foundation is one of the richest in the world with

around $50000000000.00 and assets. ah, bill gates has more than 7000000 followers on instagram. he posts videos and photos for his fans, often alongside rich and famous friends. for some 20 years, and especially since the pandemic, he has been seemingly on the present when it comes to things like vaccination, health, and agriculture. he's also promoting his own solutions. and he's convinced that the cure for hunger in africa is genetically modified food. mm. europeans have decided they don't want that most of them, which is fine. they're not facing malnutrition and starvation. if they wanna pay a premium for food a kind. if it's not a huge deal, the africans, i think, will choose, ah, to let their people have had enough the we have to decide what's important in the

world. i will look at energy, climate change, and disease around occasion. one crucial term does not appear in bill gates, official literature lu, philanthropy, capitalism. and it was an idea that you can essentially marry some of the ideas of corporate growth and corporate profit making with the goals of philanthropy. and this is problematic because is leading people to think that tact billionaires will somehow save us when actually they won't, they art and some of their practices actually compound the very problems of environmental degradation. bill gates has taken on an urgent problem to eradicate the diseases that affect the african cassava, which he calls the most interesting vegetable in the world. but how, like always, with a technological miracle. ah,

missing. so this is the plat clinic in the city level at what he may have. oratory is strictly called it. no one knows what goes on that behind closed doors with you see he come, do you have any guidelines that would a forbid any g m a programs would be funded? gimme one second. i'm surprised that e would be involved in the project opportunities for $15000000.00. gates has had the most interesting vegetable in the world, analyzed down to its smallest molecule in a laboratory near abbey. john, i is research center conner, i because of the vague description of it's working with

other good morning everyone. phyllis i shaniqua, what are you extract in cassandra leif dna? what kind of sample is that? it is the, this is the laboratory of wave west african virus epidemiology, immunology de la blackwood opened in 2015 with funding from the bill. and melinda gates foundation did send me the program called wave. also, of course, has an instagram presence bmw with pictures of the generous donor and his scientists who are working in 10 african countries to find a cure to protect the cassava from pests drought. and viruses. disease silicon valley ranch, this is the plant clinic,

got it still. we can produce an identical plant, but without the disease trigger from a cell was in there. psalm pollution, what miracle cure is bill gates researching here to save the cassava. are you preparing to introduce g m o? cassava in west africa or fall knocking about those? yeah, yeah, no, there are no g m o's here. however, i am in favor of transgenic plants. of all the conditions are met and there is a need for them. certainly, we're not there yet, but we must be prepared. we must be prepared for everybody. we're the name of one of the labs here. says it all. conference us about some of this is the genetic enhancement room i was telling you about. it'll be operational in 6 months, also out. awesome. if suassa does that mean, you'll start genetic enhancements in 6 months. good yourself?

no. well, no. it's not like that. we're just learning the techniques. it, there's a difference. we familiarize yourself with the latest technical procedures yelling like crisper and so on. okay, chris, for to be as prepared as possible. students won't come up where i am sure. the topic seems to make the professor uncomfortable. crisper is a new method of gene manipulation called genome editing will oh yes, yes, in taken today, there are 2 types of gene. i'm editing this new type of genetic engineering. the 1st is genetic says is kristela lab. it counts out the unwanted part of the gina. but unlike hair, this pot does not grow back. it's gone forever edition. it did

them now please. and no one knows what last in consequences this could have for the plant that isn't it. the 2nd technique is gene silencing with this there is no cutting garage, but to get rid of the problematic part, whether you use something artificial to conceal at physical now and it not only conceals gene silencing causes permanent changes in the genetic material of the plant by means of muted genesis as an implant in classical genetic engineering, we speak of trans genesis. here a gene foreign to the species is transplanted into the genome of a host organism, like a plans or an animal though. so that develops characteristics, but it did not originally have yep. mm menda, rick dot, my assumption that then read that needed was in lay with it. yes. all she for,

i didn't, the new methods modify the genetic material of the plant without transplanting genes. does william this good, therefore, proponent say that they are not genetically modified organisms since no gene transfer takes place and we did not get that remembrance you. but for us, it is the same principle. the court of justice of the european union sees it the same way and as per organisms created by controlled me to genesis on an equal footing with genetically modified organisms 1000000000. according to this decision of the court of justice of the european union, the you should theoretically reject the wave program. but as we discovered professor pita and his team did, in fact receive funding from the e u. a ya mall. and just soon we visited the research center professor pita showed us a room and i think he said something about e. you find what's new boldoff little small renewal of been

a look at the tables and all the equipment have already been ordered. we have a co operation with the, you know, through which we financed the equipment of the laboratories leblanc life. oh ok. let's search their projects. so closure wave funding and co financing 5000000 from the e. u and the 5 g i 5000000 the e u is supporting a laboratory that wants to carry out research that the e u court of justice has ruled is dangerous. for weeks we've been trying to get an interview with you to or belinda and the you commissioner responsible for this funding in vain. now, did you have any news after you dial feeling anything maybe if maybe ever spoke to her so that we can interview her. i gather gain, i need to go back to

a level later what we discovered is that in ivory ghosts when we went to film, they are planning to use new technique like like crisper, like, like, gin editing, like like all the stuff. and they are on the records, the actually said that there were developing those techniques of things to the european union supports. so that's why we were calling actually. okay. okay. oh, to be honest with you right now, i will not want to say anything just because i was gonna try and find out a bit and then we will, we will get a reply from our site. yeah. but do you have any guidelines that would a forbid in the gym programs to be funded? we are going to need to check this. i am not sure that the guidelines going up to see every single thing. i do not really. i cannot. i've just heard this now

i'm yes, you know, course with even n g o that scrutinize every cent of e u funding. we're not aware that the wave project is apparently also working on the genetic modification of the cassava. can be done, sir. samples you are getting, i am surprised that the e would be involved in the project and i feel we know that it does not want to support the development of g. m. as in africa since 2014. we've happen law for development and international solidarity in which friends commit to not financing the research production and marketing of channels in africa. so this is very irritating, political, and finally the commission reply by email that there was no laboratory in ivory coast working on transgenic plants or animals. and that the equipment purchased with e. u funds was unsuitable for modern genetic engineering techniques. so while europe

is hiding behind its modest contribution of $5000000.00 euros, it is studiously overlooking the $15000000.00 that bill gates has provided for the research program. enough to advance genetic engineering and africa. the gates foundations decisions are simply imposed on africans. and there is insufficient power to challenge the key to the gate system is its financial structure. how is the $50000000000.00 and endowment capital deployed? that money is then invested in, in the stock market, in essence, in many different companies. and it's done so through essentially what the gates, what the gate has see is something like a blind trust the money the gates foundation spends in africa, for example, comes from dividends. it receives, as a shareholder and numerous companies. yes. and that's how most foundation

endowments work. there dividends that come back into the it's not just dividend, how their portfolio is invested. you immediately, your capital is lent to those companies in essence, in order to own shares. so these endowments own portions of different company in the gates foundations list of fixed asset investments. and thus, profits one finds major corporations such as amazon, apple, coca cola, or b a, s f, the german chemical giant, and a leader and the sale of genetically modified seeds. the gates foundation holds b a as f shares worth over $7000000.00. a portion of amazon's profits also flows into the coffers of the gates foundation. the same applies to coca cola profits some of the money, the b s. f earns from the sale of genetic seeds also ends up at the foundation.

please join me in welcoming bill gates to the stage in linda, a government today is having a very hard time saying no to bill gates has plans in just to have a better liability be stronger. i maybe have a quicker development time, not all falsely. the sun increases all doubts and in africa, the former microsoft boss has found another area in which he can promote genetic engineering. because bill gates doesn't like viruses or mosquitoes and a disease that kills a child every other minute of every day. and that's why he has set his sights on eradicating malaria. as always, with the help of enormous sums of money and scientific research in the fight

against the disease. gates and his foundation enjoy the power of a state, as we see here in the own, in october 2019 with heads of state from all over the world have come to announce their financial pledges in the fight against malaria. and the star of this fundraiser has a front row seat and there's an old joke, an english that where does an $800.00 pound gorilla sip? and the answer is anywhere launched and, and bill as they entered town carrillo, who the g 20. it's going to invite into its meetings and give it a seat at the table. like he's a country. ah, you know, it's the really dangerous side of the lancer capitalism, right? that if you have enough money, you get to determine what the right path is for. ah,

a concept of countries as diverse as there are in africa. children all missed it. i really want to thank bill gates and his foundational because he is also at this meeting, mal ito, who's been historically live and he's here with us now. hm . in, ah, my daughters will be invited to announce their commitment to the global fund for the next 3 years. 3 european union will contribute. 550000000 euros. look, $1400000000.00 pound pledge, $840000000.93 canadian dollar. i'm your little adequacy. me on the do not american 6000000 us door last one. point $5000000.00 us

dollars. $12000000.00 us dollars. anybody on the do not on any guy, and we don't to do not american we're only a few steps away from bill gates and we have a 1000 questions. but in bill gates world, everything is planned out and we are not on his agenda. please join me in welcoming bill gates to the stage who other than bill gates could overturn the use commitment? our foundation is a proud to be a part of that i with our 700000000 dollar commitment. who else could get a standing ovation from african leaders? now we were working on a new generation of nance. ah,

and we have now to day. the interceptor g to right here and these are new are but even in the next year i'll be going out by the 1000000. the mosquito nets gates is so proud of are produced by b s f. one of the companies in which his foundation has a stake. our foundation is been working with b. s. up in med, accessing the gates foundation, has the funds to send mosquito nets to fight malaria. and even the most remote villages in africa like this one in ivory coast, we'll go it is here. the tv used, the treated mosquito net is prescribed to protect against mosquito bite and malaria lu. ah, if that is if you could have him. yeah. it's kim williams relate to that. huh. i know about malaria. really. i myself have an attack every 3 months. i hear in this

isolated village all measures against the disease. a paid for with donations from the founder of microsoft made must also be said that bill gates has quietly funding some very strange projects to 5 mosquitoes in the gates foundation is putting a whopping 155 $1000000.00 into one of these strange projects. the goal to modify mosquitoes so that they don't transmit malaria with the help of genetic engineering, of course, the project name, target malaria. oh, don't go heels global to show that they can only cut as a non profit, global research network. target malaria aims to help save millions of lives. we're breaking ground in the fight against this disease. i'll research is and said jean and the exit mosquitoes, making them sterile it on bill gates instagram account. you can't find this video. but the experiment has already taken place in a field trial in west africa.

lou marchina faso, a country plagued by jihadist terrorist groups. nonetheless, we drive to bobo july, so the 2nd largest city in the country here on july 1st 2019 the government granted target malaria permission to release the genetically altered mosquitoes. a 1st it seems on the african continent. unfortunately without picture or sound target. malaria did not found the operation government decree or not. we're going to talk to the mayor rule, but yeah, awesome. so overall it to ship out a, a target for malaria, laportia to look in level on we were approached by target malaria. as we understand

it was the female mosquitoes ought to be made in fertile because only they transmit malaria with selma count on the cause i'm not a scientist to kind of know whether these genetically modified mosquitoes can cause all the problems at m. s. good. and so we'll see cloud phosphorylation is if monday won't likely build problem. did you know that there was a similar project in brazil? no ship. no, i don't know anything about last. the mayor doesn't know about the brazilian field trial, but we do in september 2019 the prestigious science journal nature published a report by independent researcher jeffrey powell. that doesn't, he was worried by his findings. he doesn't have a project going on brazil in brazil with people in rio de janeiro. and i heard about this program going on in jack abena where they're doing is releases of oxy

tech. so i think ok, if they're not doing it, maybe we should check to see if it's happening, haven't you, that you and your team, you physically kept her genetically modified, most of those to see what happened with them. right? right. we wanted to check, do any of the genes that were in the release strain now incorporated into the natural population or the target population. and that's all the gene modification experiment failed twice. first, the mosquitoes could not be eradicated. second, the genetically modified mosquitoes reproduced with the endemic population and passed on their modified genes. jeffrey powell fears that all mosquitoes in the area may now be more robust. so my question is that they could have been more robust, your west interest to have a better buy ability be stronger, maybe have

a quicker development time. these are all savings but, but you can find when you make hybrids, sometimes they can develop faster, they become larger, they live longer. they're more fertile. that's what i'm thinking. ah, although there's no financial link to the brazilian experiment target. malaria is based on the same scientific principle, while the mosquitoes and burkina faso mutate as well. officials there had not considered this possibility until we showed the district mayor jeffrey powell study, wrap it and i'll call the people that talk it. mm. bring some smith. yes. oh, good afternoon. i just seen him on the line target. malaria has had of p r. s good info, missouri. true. i've heard about brazil. there were releases in brazil. but how that turned out? i can't tell you. we should meet with both. well, okay,

but i did get, he says he doesn't know how it turns out. if i find that worry because it is the same project, he said, and he as an expert, has no idea or increases all doubts even more than me. and if i am for a liberal, was some said monitoring this would have been the least we could have done. he said solomon no, but i don't want people to be used as guinea pigs when they're sure i will not accept this year. if i were to kill up a plush under banners, why do i go by? if it is indeed the same project? but as i find that scandalous, c effective must remember with our camera rolls as those in charge of the program, enter the mayor's office. we will miss you, little to hello, i'm a journalist. i worked for our table. you were here to talk about target malaria. i

woulda, look, well if this is not something i'm not authorized to talk to the press this a few months later, target malaria informs us that the transfer of the genetically modified genetic material to wild mosquitoes is possible, but does not pose any risks. activists criticize a culture of secrecy methods, much like those of the gates foundation, which is funding the project is they said invest dishes of keys. it will do hon. booking of us, we're here at the joseph keys there for university in a while. good to go. and this is the institute of population science which renewed it thanks. are given to the bill and melinda gates foundation, philip, which supported the development of the institute population science don't. there it is, victor. this foundation is pouring billions into all sorts of things in burkina faso . i believe that my country has been distressed by all this money, jewelry,

the berkener, but government is finding it very difficult to say no to bill gates. his plans will be good to be said to see a corporate perspective from a political economy perspective. the gates foundation is once again trying to help western producers and people find that problematic when you claim that your goal is improving global equity. this is why a lot of people have concerns with g m. o r in regents like africa. well, bill gates, who likes to ignore uncomfortable questions, answered the questions of an african activist, lou. dear mr. kate, my name is darlene cason. i am a young hearing late i to miss hong i hurry course i fax. your foundation should nuts and try our container

as chris if me sicily awesome. wow. ah hello delynn. thank you for your inquiry. the bill and melinda gates foundation invests and innovative tools that have the potential to improve the lives of those and greatest needs. and we work to support safe, ethical, and transparent research that includes gene editing and other potentially transformative techniques. thanks again. media relations team, bill and melinda gates foundation. and these transformative techniques are protected by the financial power of the gates foundation. even the united nations seems powerless. blue bill

gates more powerful than the un. that's what hundreds of internal emails from the foundation and the target malaria program leaked by an american whistleblower suggest there we discovered that the gates foundation paid $1600000.00 to a lobbying agency. their goal to convince a group of un scientists to endorse gene drive or the genetic engineering of mosquitoes. apparently, the lobbying agency was successful in this email. the leaders of the program, right that the u. n. did not advocate a ban on these procedures. black a do you in meeting entered on the 17th of december and the decision takes time. jane drive does not include a moratorium will ban. this is a positive result for us is born no one, not even the supervisory authorities of the u. n. can put the brakes to the

american mo, he billionaire's desire to experiment. ah, no one has the power to say what if you're wrong, mister gates? what if the mosquitoes mutate? what if the genetically modified cassava no longer tolerates wind or sun? what will become of the african continent with these are important questions. we put them to the u. n. why are you in charge over talking to the media? yeah, good. what i actually learned is that the beat amended the gets from dish and actually funded the lobbying firm to recruit some bundled members. i was just wondering if this decision was influence all notes by the screen of, of a recruitment of, of scientists. i mean, i mean, that's fine to tell the research. i can't comment on that article. i don't belong

to salvage. okay, malay, i can't comment on that. corporations can help my company. yes. of course, with months after our interview request, bill gates continues to post on instagram. however, he has yet to answer any of our questions with a pulse ah, the beginning of a story that moves us and takes us so long for the ride.

it's all about to perspective, hey, culture, information, this is dw and d, w made for minds from public favorites to feed readings. success is a moral dilemma, will do what should happen to the animal when space will species appropriate husbandry is becoming increasingly scanned and taboo. subjects wise news, some times kill goose up. mm. 90 minutes on d w o, you become a criminal pre climb aol. already know who's with

hackers, paralyzing between your societies. computers that out some are you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for, and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it. now, i'm due to a business d, w news. and these are our top stories. the panel investigating the capital riots in the u. s. has recommended charges be brought against the form of president donald trump for aging or inciting, and insurrection. and.
