nashville team, a heroes welcome. after the sign, beat, france and a penalty shoot out to wind the world's cup. people had been gathering in the streets of bonus. r, as in preparation for the themes arrivals home in the next few hours celebrations, abrupt across the country. after the nail biting final wind argentina's way is the 3rd time argentina has been crowned well champions. the last titles was back in 1986. this is deborah news coming up can genetically modified crops provide a solution to famine and malaria in africa. some business people and lobbyists think so. that's in a documentary coming up initial to our games on the melting ice a reporter tracks down the arctics major players. and the if you see something that looked like they responded,

has to do with the military. it starts december 23rd on d, w. ah, ah, no, not a listen, but we're driving to a genetically modified g m o corn plantation financed by warren buffett son multi billionaire, bill gates and monsanto. the largest producer of pesticides and g m. o. c. overly called 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 late, but look, love so short. a here it is. i know it's marked field testing site for genetically engineered plants. and next to have the restricted entry of caught up. wow. ah hm. oh, you're good morning. i'm interested in american investment. we were gonna,

so i just wondered if we could slap a bunch of pictures of the best shoes here is ah, i out with she can take down no, actually back. in fact, with phone services. okay. thank you with we'd made several requests for an official meeting. now things were getting uncomfortable. the i'm a good lake called security that they're following us on the plane or just

ah, the yo yo, they're about to throw us out. they're looking for us just in awe . we another one comes in note, video vision is nessie with lucy lives in those in death threats just because we wanted to film a field of genetically modified korn. 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 are you?

i remembered when i sat down last here and i was trying to explain to how this project is and work it. the only way you can say is we're gonna bring rain and they look at you like, why are you going to do that and see it? but buffets miracles can only happen if 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. 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,

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, 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 pass 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 formula. honda abuto, the push philanthropic and humanitarian goals. i mean it's him realities. you all there. promoting some nielsen time in? well, the i have seen us london unit a ship there funding high risk research is a leap into the unknown. metal include new, this is actually hunger coach regina 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 in 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 pro global business to understand how these cheerleaders of g m. o technologies

work, we turn to one of their favorite media platforms, instagram, and we create an account and follow their pages. i, on instagram, there are g m, all advocates. and there are opponents, some are violent we also find african instagram or darlin cassim with her 24000 followers. she is using the platform to further her cause i'm darlene customer year ago i started an environmental organization the young activists from the ivory coast is an eco feminist. fighting for environmental protection and women's rights are actually less i saw those nature

and women are massively exploited by our society. at the same time, they're deeply undervalued. 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 hacked as in not in america. as a result, this huge potential that a new friend here on google flew. it all began in 1997 when south africa became the 1st african country to pass legislation allowing g m o. 2 decades later,

the country's soy maze 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. mm. abidjan, the economic capital of ivory coast. here genetic engineering is on the rise, though few people know about it. mm . the activist devlin casem as our guide with

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

ah, left with forgotten about he can from west africa is still no very developed as an economic heresy. therefore, they see the chance to occupy this model could be mm mm. 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 was to fight hunger and return. they wanted the state to allow the research and marketing of genetically modified plants that, that the supreme look ugly, concurred upon. for lack of you. what we found was, were completely surprised when we heard that ivory coast was opening up to genetic engineering. for, 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 family. gina shanella, i is there in libra. mando have activity every minute of coupons that work has been ruled. it has actually agriculture. geo politics. ah, the donors presented a strong argument thanks to them. drought and malnutrition would become a thing of the past. ah, b o. 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 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 in 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 of the kind it's, it's not a huge deal. the africans, i think, will choose, ah, to let their people have,

have enough to eat. you have to decide what's important in the world. i look at energy, climate change and disease the route occasion. one crucial term does not appear in bill gates, official literature, philanthropy, capitalism. and it was an idea that you can essentially marry some of the ideas of corporate growth in corporate profit making with the goal of philanthropy. and this is problematic because it's leading people to think that tac 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 no

6 if this is the plat clinic in the city level, what, what he favors tree is strictly called it. no one knows what goes on that behind closed doors with you see it come, do you have any guidelines that would forbid any g m programs will be funded? gimme one second. i'm surprised that the would be involved in the project object 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 aye. this research center caught her eye because of the vague description of its working with. oh,

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. amelia de la blackwood opened in 2015 with funding on the bill and melinda gates foundation. i did find 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. they see silicon valley ross, this is the plant clinic, got it here week,

produce an identical plant 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 gmc, 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 to to my were 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. awesome. awesome. got this is the genetic enhancement room i was telling you about. it will be operational in 6 months throughout the us from if just wasn't, does that mean you'll start genetic enhancements in 6 months to prove that?

i mean, you also know of a no, it's not like that. we're just learning the techniques is that there's a difference. we familiarize ourselves with the latest technical procedures yet, like crisper and so on. okay, chris, for to be as prepared as possible. students won't come up, but 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, this is today. there are 2 types of gene. i'm editing this new type of genetic engineering. the 1st is genetic says is kristela wrap. it cuts out the unwanted part of the gina. look at unlike hair. this pot does not grow back, it's gone forever edition. it did them now please. and

no one knows what last consequences this could have for the plant that is in the 2nd technique is gene silencing. with this there is no cutting garage about to get rid of the problematic part. why don't you use something artificial to conceal it vehicle 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 classical genetic engineering, we speak of trends. genesis here, a gene foreign to the species. his transplanted into the genome of a host organism, like a plant or an animal. and so that develops characteristics, but it is not originally half yet. mm mender dot by a sumpter. now then read the can read was in les with it, yes, all she for,

i think the new methods modify the genetic material of the plant without transplanting genes. this william this good. therefore, proponents say that they are not genetically modified organisms since no gene transfer takes place and we did not get that remembrance he, but for us who does 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. bagels you mm. 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 yamaha and just slim. we visited the research center professor peter showed us a room and i think he said something about e, you find which 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 e u, you know, through which we financed the equipment of the laboratories and i bought life. oh ok. let's search their projects on closure. way wave funding and co financing and 5000000 from the e u a 5 g like 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, the you commissioner responsible for this funding in vain. now, did you have any news after you dial feeling only, maybe if maybe you ever spoke to her so that we can interview her? i can, okay, i got back to you

a little bit later. what we discovered is that in ivory ghosts, when we went to film, they are planning to use new technique like like crisp or like, like, gin editing, like it, like all the stuff and, and they are on the records. they actually said that they were developing those techniques of things to the european union supports. so that's why we were, we were calling actually. okay. okay. oh, to be honest with you right now, i will not want to say anything just because i'm going to make 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 will not be every single thing. i can know i've just heard this now. i'm

yes, you know, of course with even n g yos 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 camera done sir san jose and oregon. i am surprised that e would be involved in the project and 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 france commit to not financing the research production and marketing of g m. i was in africa. so this is very irritating, pleasant, but finally, the commission replied 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 with the gate is, thea, something like a blind trust the money the gates foundation spends in africa, for example, comes from dividends. it receives as a shareholder in 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 lend to those companies in essence, in order to own shares. so these endowments own portions of different companies 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 children who live am a government today is having a very hard time saying no to bill gates has plans in just to have it better by ability be stronger. i maybe have a quicker development time, not all falsely the sunny 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 in 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 leon, 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 seating and there's an old joke, an english where does an 800 pound gorilla set. and the answer is anywhere launched and, and bill as they entered con 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. juvenile missed it. i really want to thank bill gates in his foundational because he is also at this meeting, mal ito, who's been historically them. and he's here with us now. hm . in, ah, and others will be invited to announce their commitment to the global fund for the next 3 years. the utopian union will contribute. 550000000 euros. 1.4000000000 pound pledge. $840000000.00. $930400000.00 canadian dollar. i'm with your to do that. i mean, because he me on to do not america $6000000.00 you as the last $1500000.00

us dollars. $12000000.00 us dollars. emily. all do not 100 again. and we don't to do that. i meet again. we are only a few steps away from bill gates and we have a 1000 question. 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, are proud to be a part of that i with our $700000000.00 commitment who else could get a standing ovation from african leaders out? 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, they'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 locally, is here. the tv used, the treated mosquito nets is prescribed to protect against mosquito bites and malaria, hulu. ah, if that is gonna be obstacles related 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. it must also be said that bill gates has quietly funding some very strange projects to 5 mosquitoes. the gates foundation is putting a whopping $155000000.00 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 don't have yields global leadership. sure. that they can only cut that as a non profit, global research. netflix target malaria aims to help save millions of lives when breaking new ground in the fight against this disease. i'll research isn't said g, b, 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 g hottest 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 film the operation. government decree or not, we're going to talk to the mayor rule, but yeah, a law it to ship out a fruit against malaria, laportia, delicate level on we were approached by target malaria. as we understand it was

a female mosquitoes ought to be made in fertile because only they transmit malaria to poly diesel. so long count on you cause i'm not a scientist to kind of know whether these genetically modified mosquitoes can cause other problems, said m. s good and said, we'll seek lab phosphorylation. it's monday, won't buckley handled problem? did you know that there was a similar project in brazil? no ship. no, i don't know anything about that. 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 and 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. have any that you and your team, you physically kept her a genetically modified, messy dose to see what happened with them. right? right. we wanted to check do any, the genes that were in the release strain now incorporated into the natural population or the target population. and that's why 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 instead just to have it better by ability, be stronger,

maybe have a quicker development time. these are all savings but, but you can find when you make hybrid, 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. well, the mosquitoes and burkina faso mutate as well. officials there had not considered this possibility until we showed the district mayor jeffrey powell study rapid and i'll call the people that talk it. mm. bring some smither. yes. oh, good afternoon. oh no. cecilia on the line target. malaria is head of p r. s. good info. is that true? i've heard about brazil, there were releases in brazil. but how that turned out? i can't tell you. we should meet as well. okay, well my head,

he says he doesn't know how it turns out. if i find that worry because it is the same project and he as an expert, has no idea a increases all doubts even more. i mean, 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 do not want people to be used as guinea pigs when they're sure i will not accept this. you could just probably kill up a blush on the banners why they could buy if it is indeed the same project of the asset to i find that scandalous, c effective must remember with our camera roles as those in charge of the program. enter the mayor's office. we will miss you, little you. hello, i'm a journalist. i worked for our table. you were here to talk about target millerio.

i woulda 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 decision risk. dishes of keys, it will do other group universal. 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, a population science don't. there it is. victor. this foundation is pouring billions into all sorts of things in burkina faso, as 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

has plans will be to get 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 think your foundation should nuts and try our

continents as perceive me. yes, this is selena with 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. blackie, do you in meeting ended on the 17th of december and the decision takes time. jane drive does not include a moratorium of 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 multi, an era'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? these are important questions. we put them to the un fight. are you in charge of talking to me? yes. yes. good. what i actually learned is that the beat amended the gets from dish and actually funded. these are lobbying firm to recruit some bundle members. i was just wondering if decision was influence all notes by the screen of, of a recruitment of, of scientists. i mean, i mean, i think on the research,

i can't comment on that or girl i don't among those founding. okay. malay, i young. can't comment on that group relation can help my company? yes. of course, months after our interview request, bill gates continues to post on instagram. however, he has yet to answer any of our questions with eco india before and after cleaning the water tanks and come on by talk, can it be blocking to make a positive contribution to society? the hot bodies of organizing manny come in as managed to unite people on the

southern indian region because they all care about water. he says you won't stop setting new goals in 30 minutes on d w. and how many push a 3rd out in the world right now, the climate change. if any hot story, this is my flex, the way from just one week. how much work can really get we still have time to go. i'm going on with foot 5th. his subscriber all morning. he was like, well they breathe. mm. they have body and soul. the houses that dental leaders can't construct are more than just building. ah. you have to be

radical. that's a radical mean. go back to the room. he is the son of jewish holocaust survivors. how lucky that i was able to build to just present berlin is architecture is a celebration of democracy and piece one building. the biggest thing in the world is the spirit of freedom and architect. motions. discount starts december 25th on d, w ah, 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 former president, donald trump, for aging, or inciting, and insurrection, and obstructing.
