more developments in less than half an hour from now in the meantime we report on the claims that major pharmaceutical manufacturers who make cancer fighting drugs are also thought to be responsible for producing over decades pollution that causes cancer the first of our special report is coming up next. two thousand and two the top ten drug companies in america made more profits than four hundred ninety of america's wealthiest companies combined helping raise profits are cancer drugs which in two thousand and five alone rose nearly sixteen percent compared to three percent for other prescriptions. today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month. the pharmaceutical industry spends about fourteen percent of their budget and research and development and about thirty one percent for marketing in an ministration. in fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in washington d.c.

than members of congress for drugs in the united states and the food and drugs act and canada are not being abided by this is a very serious problem this is been the fight that i have fought for now for the last twenty years in canada and together with my colleagues and my union and a lot of other people and as a result of these three of us alchemically were fired by health canada four years the took to build up this case and ultimately failed us and saying we should pass everything that america versus and you think we cannot we are a country we are sovereign country we have resolved or not none of us refused to conduct their work if this insubordination to pass drugs of questionable safety or harmful products then of course we want to be in support if that's the way it is

let the community in government see them that this is what they're fighting us for the companies pressure to get is fired this weary and the longer the weird the more time they get to continue doing what they're doing. they have got at least ten years it may take longer to keep selling the same stuff and damaging the health or people who make profit on the backs of people's health that was the insubordinate. to him .

to escape the same chemical companies that brought us pesticides chlorine and dioxin i've known worked on a new frontier biotechnology. this new technology has been used to transfer genes from one organism to another and has subsequently enabled companies to patent and own the organisms that they genetically modify that means that seeds plants and even trees which are modified using this technology can be privately owned by corporations for the first time in history. all right i'll sleep with a lot very much i want there are some say. they said well yeah we got some but the image that expensive seeing as how much all that a lot of got what it was now but they were for a bit over and. i didn't silo graeme with them they didn't ask me

styling because somebody asked them about about somebody had done bottom and kill them out and bought a mat so i'm gonna plant this and you can use quite glass right on top but as our. as i want and in that plant and then i describe him on the top with brass flake i don't i don't like colorado that's a small solace. but anyway i decided to see and that was where most i like on them that i'm you know they say they got a patent on it there's no you can't have a patent was the mother knights of bottom line so the guys at the siege you forgot to have you sign a license and just said here's a new thank you seat and well the state was brought back by somebody else somebody does sound out phone he want to get rid of because he didn't want to keep

them normal where most not a lawyer when he got a deposition or they do you see as a star. that i don't never rate a back seat because i'm be too busy working and stuff like it and then trying to keep it running here he's the most are a great that was fought back i want to most on a represent us that's not my hand right that's a nice my hand right right there this is my hand right now right here all day long that's my hand right there is that look you think it cost me five thousand dollars to prove that that was not my man right and judge wright is simple would not allow this to be and that puts the kids our justice system really sucks a lily sucks it's a corrupt company perfectly. mr rolfe was fined over two point nine

million dollars per can infringement in regards to saving seats. the district judge in mr ross case was rodney simple a former attorney who worked at the law firm that represents monsanto and who is listed as one of monsanto's attorneys in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven class action lawsuit. from two thousand two thousand and eight rodney said who was the judge in eleven cases of which monsanto was the plaintiff or defendant eleven cases were ruled in one sentence favor. i found that the original research grants came from the new york foundation and that was the rockefeller foundation and that they had spent over one hundred million dollars of their foundation money to finance scientists around the world to do research to genetically modify some of the basic food seeds of the human food trade on the animals who checked and the more i researched into the system or

a film that three maybe four companies if you include the swiss inventor but killed three main companies and one among them was dominant and that's monsanto but these what i call in the book the four horsemen of the apocalypse these private seed companies they were originally chemical companies. stupid ploys within five or ten years at the rate they were going to dominate the basic seeds unpatentable seeds that much power concentrated into four corporate entities three of whom have decades long track record of deception lying to the public about the dangers of dioxin the dangers of agent orange and vietnam war for and so for. that really set off the alarm bells for me.

i got involved in the g.m. issue because it was a new technology and bringing all the changes and i still see them as open for little. i was the only the to support her that she took part in four years of trawling. they were the monsanto to get a very bison genzer i mean they were all in this group in the greens to the farm the trawler wood which all told the two hundred sixty all different i mean not just conniving as they did spring and winter and i did both on the farm collector a grow spring right occasionally when i have to when i have a failure in the winter so i did both of those draws almost all for three years others did the first year as a winter protocol here but i decided to exactly how they were going to set the

trial and. ate a good inside me long to realize at least walls a potentially simpler way to fall and therefore it was cheaper therefore we could the benefits that could be seen to be bad to be passed on before he's chasing me to grow and if the price of the end product a down market stupid g.c. is off to the end of the doubt got to make a margin whatever i'm doing as it happens is because of the technology we were also following the g.m. crop yield a bit more with a collection called in the same field under otherwise similar management because i was doing the. defter what now thirteen years of crops in the field the theory is that. we'll have we have a herbicide tolerant trait that will reduce the demand for her size and we have a. trait that will protect farmers or predict props from some does some tests that's the theory. even that can't be proven finally and as stager there's a still

a constant battle yang and yang going on between researchers and the companies does don't show whether or not this really does work or not. we're not seeing increased food production we're not seeing increased benefits to farmers in terms of their pression costs we're not seeing improved nutritional qualities in or in her or her table so there really isn't a clear benefit. the .

everywhere you go this is seen through the room we see that the searches have to apply for grants. to come from. companies on campuses the. students from beginning. can do a ph d. and on what subject and whether they can publish those materials because they're not owned by the us so it's wherever you go there is this kind of corruption going on this is not science. the people who want to administer the park are not

competent or even qualified or educated and science these are accountants these are lawyers these are m.b.a.'s is that anything but scientists this room was something to have become part of the uk. what do you think about genetically modified food it's interesting john yeah i think it's definitely safe but as long as there's a regulation there's been research and everything there's. no research showing that it's not safe for that there's any difference between it and regular not modify it from scholarships to give us gosh oh yeah there's lots yeah lots from santo. than yeah all the different chemical companies and everything like that for sure. so yeah they're getting involved in there's definitely have. a presence on campus

for sure. it is the first time in the history of mankind that we have been able to engineer the genetic inheritance of living beings a man it would be wise to ask if there are side effects and to check on them when you insert artificial genes anywhere by bombarding an organism or plants general metabolism can be affected it could be terrible. if somebody could prove its g.m. moves are dangerous a really good. horse. would be very positive because he would have arguments that there would be elsewhere but as long. as nobody has the argument. it's better to go of thinking. there is no reason why dish best monsanto made p.c.p. as they were a huge chemical company and they own ninety percent of the biotechnology patents don't so we took some of us g.m.

corn i was part of the commission which was assessing this corn. and we said where are the blood tests firstly tests on rats didn't go beyond three months which was crazy they concealed the results not from the commission but from the public there were affects many others on the commission said no it doesn't matter we said we must at least start over but we didn't so we asked it to be made public we had to go to a court of appeal monsanto went before the court to stop the world scientists and the general public from seeing the blood tests on rats who ate their genetically modified corn for only three months. because you can you imagine. the world's largest company which sells the most herbicide and which sells virtually the most g.m. seeds in the world goes to court to prevent disclosing blood test results of rats

who ate their g.m.o. foods for only three months that's crazy. so we published the effects that we had observed there was a forty eight percent increase in fat a ten percent increase in sugar in the females an increase in liver with an increase in body which. resembled a pre-diabetic symptom the rats urine samples were abnormal particularly in the male rats the rats lost wit and their livers were affected. in the past thirty years there have been no government tests. all the world's drugs are only tested by pharmaceutical companies the same goes for pesticides. in the late one nine hundred ninety s. patrick to go but see that his local organic supplier seeds turned out to be contaminated with g.m. rose so he filed

a complaint to uncover where the contamination originated but in two thousand and one the case was dropped mr pickard who was then contacted by a group of american farmers to join them in a class action lawsuit against monsanto dupont dow chemical astra zeneca and novartis international accusing them of engaging in any trust activities and failure to test for human health and environmental safety coincidently the judge was rightly simple the same judge as in mr ross case by case was ruled in favor of the chemical company. gene in my field was a paid content monsanto gene which was sold to me in seeds by as a girl which is a monsanto subsidiary i agreed to take part in a class action lawsuit in the united states so in two thousand i went to washington d.c. to testify and to answer the questions asked by monsanto's lawyers all day they asked

questions such as do you know your neighbors names by much tax do you pay and where nothing to do with g.m. seeds. they tended to meetings at the ministry of agriculture recently during which they tried to impose on us a bill for a ministerial order for coexistence determining a twenty five yard distance between two fields of corn. that means that my neighbor g.m. crops twenty five yards away from my field and yet we officially proved in two thousand and six and two thousand and seven that land three hundred yards away was contaminated. maybe there's not much organic corn today. maybe there is someone with five acres of organic corn surrounded by people with by five hundred acres of g.m. corn. so he's not important you can just die out that's the situation

if you're small you don't matter any make room for those who will feed the world. big farmers in my group managers will feed the world having poisoned it for years it's unbelievable their objective is obvious they want to sell the seeds and the herbicide with it the same company makes them both the objective is to liberate the farmer or to make them independent it isn't to make a better product for the consumer. the problem is pesticides and g.m. knows what does eating g.m. food do to our d.n.a. chin to ourselves and to our children cells we don't know. for the past twelve years genetically modified crops are being grown on a large scale around the world they feed both us and our animals but we haven't

observed any problems due to g.m. consumption either direct or indirect and this french farmer is completely self-sufficient along with four hundred fifty million other farmers worldwide the practice is organic farming compared to conventional chemical agriculture this type of farming produces soil with three times more earthworms produces eighty percent more yields in developing nations and fruits and vegetables that are up to forty percent more nutritious studies even show that this type of organic farming could feed today's population and more so why do governments still give the majority of subsidies to conventional chemical farming companies claim we need g.m. crops to feed the world. if this is the case then why in america where g.m. crops have been commercialized the longest are thirty five million americans still food insecure. psionics think if you experiment with something

without any follow up it's almost criminal often pesca can you know because what we're doing isn't very serious very modest you're not school for it yet that's what every government has done because biotechnology is their religion they think it will develop so that it will be goods law but that's just a belief because of it would be out me just like when we were told the earth was flat or you get rather than the reality of e.g. you're in a handy. there or someone from the european union commission explained it to my wife at the time they didn't know that she was my right she doesn't carry my name is to say he's professor part of the it's not professor post they explained it to her that. if it if they had repeated the study and it

had similar things that what we thought they would be able to hush it up again it's rugs it was bad enough. twice it's almost impossible what i had regarded or saw as the most important thing a father studies is that that is and indeed the sprogs. and in each case since then whatever the jihad was they looked at the indian status of the us they always felt that it was jeopardized when we looked at the rat who did having a g.m. then the clip was you will get an answer and that we wouldn't have expected if the g.m. is substantially equivalent in other words the same then the lengths should be the

identical but they weren't so open overall and just finally tracked the lining was growing it was thickened so we thought this was evidence that there was a growth factor work if you apply that to a transition lesion in the human for example with the lower end of year so focus if you applied a growth factor of their then you might taste on the development of malignancy at the lower end of your sofa glass and similarly in the stomach first once again transition lesions there which normally will take time to develop into cancer the gut and its image system the guards this as for in the kiddie role it's almost like an infection it's not an infection but if the immune system just sees something coming again as strange for it in that it has to react to it i

just think that. it was highly it is possible to foist on us something that was not properly exam bid. and we are all major can be exposed to it that's highly irresponsible or infact i would say that it's probably criminal but they have this sense to be monsanto p.s.f. they are dupont dow chemical. and astra zeneca declined to be interviewed for this.

please. let's just say. it's.
