to. put them back to what you are t. here's a look at the top stories thousands of egyptians remain in tahrir year square for the six day to demand an immediate transfer of power as they reject a pledge by military rulers to speed up presidential elections at least thirty six people have died so far in fierce clashes between protesters and security forces across the country. the un general sam leaves human rights committee and damn syria for its violent crackdown on anti-government protests by damascus calls it a u.s.

led thought to topple its government russia abstained from voting on the resolution saying dialogue is the only solution to the crisis. and five years after the death of former f.s.b. officer and sadly van gogh from blowing poisoning along then that case remains unsolved and a thorn in the side of russian british relations. we have here in our next hour a special report about how the world is producing more food than ever before but still struggles to feed the planet's forests. it was in order to understand how the system works it is necessary to look at the parties involved the producer and the buyer for example the producer and the fire agree that one will sell and the other will buy a specific amount of weight at a specific price and the products will be delivered in a year from now for that they sign an agreement which is known as a time conflict was such contracts ensure producers and buyers against such

risks as bad weather and sudden changes in prices. i'm if you're a farmer you're afraid the prices are going to fall you can lock in the price months ahead of when you harvest by selling here and get rid of the risk or you can do the same if you're a fool buyer a processor like judge general mills or kellogg's or coast and you can lock in the priced of the grain nonce ahead of when you actually need to buy it so that when you actually do go buy it if prices are much higher you've got it bought already at a much lower price. these contracts do not remain inert they are bought and sold by profiteers and a contract might swap hands dozens of times before it expires for example buyers purchase contracts for wheat at

a low price if the price we close up they have made a profit. we're transferrin risk whole purpose of the exchange is to transfer risk from people that have it's like farmers and don't want it for people like myself speculators to take the risk because if you take a risk and you're right to make money course if you are wrong you lose money. since two thousand and six big players have begun to appear at the sick how the brain model. now they're not only traditional players of the pits but also managers of huge financial institutions that until a few years ago showed no interest in investing in food. the financial markets which had been very greedy in lending money for mortgages in

the united states lost on the mortgage market the son prime crisis as it was called led to a collapse in investments. with the markets crumbling because of the mortgage crisis highly investing profiteer saw a new opportunity in food they invaded the chicago markets and began to buy time contracts in unprecedented quantities causing prices to shoot up. investors jumped out of real estate and housing and jumped from the band back and all probably commodities food from oddities then money and the monopoly control of every business companies like cargill drove the prices upwards. i totally disagree with that kind of talk that speculators are not behind the big rise in prices speculation has very very little to do with it.

when bubbles break. liquid gets flashed all over the place and yes there's not a question there was some corroborative so. i don't doubt for a moment that speculators move grain prices do i think that they move grain prices by one hundred percent now i think that speculators problem move move the grain prices by twenty percent fifteen percent. and the prices would have gone up anyway. because of the weather problems and the weak dollar and the export bans and tight world stocks that's why prices went up the hunger that has become permanent and global is totally of creation of the global food system the global food system is not created to feed the people of the world it's created to maximize the profits the monsanto

proceeds of cargill for pre-date for selling pesticides herbicides fertilizer in the period of two thousand and seven to two thousand and eight while food prices doubled the profits of these companies also a gamble. so if you want to understand why prices are going up while be the lighting less you just have to look at these companies and centers i love every seed company of the world cargill controls about seventy percent of staple treat in the world and they would like to control hundred percent and they would like the situation with a prayer that seems give us this day our daily bread is a prayer not to call the creator but is a pray cargill and nonsense. us company monsanto is the world's biggest trader of genetically modified seats. it began as a small producer of chemicals turning into one of the creators of the infamous

agent orange in the sixty's and seventy's a poison that was used in the vietnam war deforested huge areas and cause cancer and tetra genesis which continues to affect the country even today. in two thousand and two a company obtained permission from the government of india to introduce a genetically modified cotton seed in the markets no one has bt called it is genetically enriched in laboratories with a bacteria capable of killing the parasites that fed in this plant. we have been able to develop a technology called born god a baby cotton technology where we. produce a seed that has invents protection bests thereby helping farmers almost double their cotton production reduce the number of pesticides they've been using in the

field to control those and really increase their average income in six years after the introduction of. india has become the world's second largest producer and the second largest exporter in six years an introduction of the cotton. for centuries to farmers of india cultivated their farms and their seeds which were given to them by mother earth. and. they are a gift from the gods that belong to no one and give everyone the right to use. them how might it be. we would plant our own seeds from what we used for food we would keep a few the following year we would plant those same seeds. would make good if they were natural segue. there was a droll they'd come out fine just the same if. we had our own

seeds we didn't go to the market and we had no separate expenses for that number. just. so so so. so. so. we had cotton we had corn we had peppers we had everything. with these seeds yours. but they were ours the peppers the corner the cotton were ours. and you

want to price for your crop so yes i even won a prize so if your seeds were good why did you take the others the others were also using them we thought we could get a better harvest. and we used them to that's how it happened. with the seeds we got ourselves into debt. so. they assured us we would get two hundred kilos from each field. the first time we had only a few expenses for the seeds only then we used fertilizers once or twice you know now we use them five times and it's not enough.

they know me not only the soil has lost its strength because of the bt cotton if you use a different seed nothing grows you don't use your own seeds no we do not. stuff you heard you can't imagine the deception they would bring p.t. seeds and say we don't need to use a lot of chemicals. for a year it was like that however the following year a new paris eight. arrived reliever. well at the beginning they said we wouldn't need to spray at all. then they said you must use some for this bug or this for the other bug so what is the situation now. and what does monsanto produce it also produces chemicals and who is the biggest trader and chemicals on some thought that you think oh stop bringing their chemicals and

pesticides to the market when any company give up on profit no fucked up oh yeah the farmers in india cultivate expensive crops they depend on multinationals for seeds and medicine for the allies or of which they need more and more. the same farmer that spent nothing on seeds before now must spend forty percent on stilts. and before there were no expenses on fertilizer and now twenty percent goes to that the farmer would not use any pesticides now that amounts to ten percent i mean all this adds up to seventy percent but they must put on the cost of themselves you know not. ok i had fun with it and it was a very bad day he was going round and round about his mother was sick in bed with

you can he came in sat back there his wife was sleeping there. he didn't see what he did but he had so can self and petrol. and he saw a very strong fire and then he came in fell here. and we were all here. but i've had a mighty. good and he was burning in front of our eyes he burned very quickly and i worked as a. girl's mind in this. regard we did everything we could to save him we took him to the hospital but he died two or three hours later. in the car and. he would tell us he knew we told him not to take it too seriously we didn't imagine

he'd do something like that he was worked up and sat thinking alone for hours we would tell him the hard days would pass that's what we tell him that was. this story that we have suddenly become scandinavians and don't see the sunlight and therefore getting depressed and our farmers ending their lives it's amazing how health earth tyler hinman and imagination can be when it wants to find excuses to not i understand the real roots of a crisis the government's own data shows that the majority of farmers who have

committed suicide were deeply indebted ardita shools the majority of them got into debt because the country. will suicides of the two hundred thousand are in the cotton belt most of them have grown bt clinton the story of indian farmers is the story of how these debases corporations have emerged as criminal corporations i often see if two hundred thousand people have been killed. but if you take that we would have called it genocide. suicides in india or tragic phenomena and unfortunately have existed we had before the introduction of bt cotton in two thousand and two it was the suicides have

invented this and so often other causes are inadequate infrastructure and education and i'm really in for all sorts of. crossfire of it. she would say nothing. of the she would say nothing about alone i always find him worried deep in thought there. she was always worked up his mind was working all the time. she was never happy she would pretend to be happy outside inside the house he seemed lost. i talked to him i told him god most just in us and that's not to warry or get through this i sat

but she said that was impossible because we had debts and knew harvest. how we would believe. how do we raise our children now. all the time or a team and she wouldn't talk much. and when. we were at school and the girls told me her father drank poison i couldn't understand what he drank and what it was.

he will be the late me the seeds they give us that is the main cause of suicide they put annihilators inside i think. in the past any tree that gave seeds if we kept them and preserve them for the whole season and planted a tree the next year it would grow just like the one before that it would be if we keep the seeds from this one nothing will grow no one told the farmers this. eventually the village learns that this person cannot produce anything. but. what it was then not even the loner will lend him money the bank won't lend him money. and he gets depressed. and it. will be the day comes when he will do something. and that is why our situation has become so tragic because of the seeds.

but even if the farmers keep the seeds for the following year they risk being sued by the company the seeds are patent protected which means they are the intellectual property of. a strange as it sounds patent consolidates something that is alive. and has the right to exploited exclusively for twenty years. if a farmer keeps some seeds to plant next year and then he is accused of being a criminal. he will be fined with twenty five thousand rupees which is three hundred eighty euros but we can the small farmers pay a twenty five thousand rupees. for we would keep our own seeds and use them the following year but if the farmers. have to go all the year. tell me is that fair on humanity. entered into

a contract with. the following season that violates the contract that we had with these farmers it is a very small number. and in most cases we look at these differences out of court so when you apply. that you can't see the seed for. massively increasing the cost of production for farmers massively. cases that were boring money from everyone to buy seeds and we ran out of money. by then when there was this credit my husband killed himself because of the debts but was unable oh yeah we couldn't save anything. for the medical she was

depressed the dad was huge. money so that now i don't know what to do and when my husband brought to mommy. nobody will lend money to woman isn't it for someone especially here. in this situation hurts me and i feel so sad . for. the cottonseed. if you don't have protection against. farmers had this very best sides. scientists are going to go decide to sit on the board what you're going to find a more sustainable way to protect the plant against those against back. that was a technology called which is inserted into the scene it's

a product of the science in the scene. truly an oligopoly who controls our food supply the seed supply and those companies now are going beyond the patenting it was single black friday to say we can patent all plans and we can patent all crops with a single were claiming traits within those fridays and in those crops that are common to all of them. so we control everything we control the food system. did they make the seeds. until today nature made the seeds did they create anything living they couldn't. or as much in the seventy's there is no proprietary secret plan whatsoever not really but today eighty two percent of the seeds sold

are proprietary they're part of a patent heels. that's an enormous cherry. genotypic engineered crops do not produce no vote but they tell the light that the markets more straight does not feed people at least not people hungry because a globalized then becomes a trade controlled by five agribusiness corporations who can get the prices they want and they want to speculate upwards speculate upwards when they want to fix the prices downwards to capture markets they take the prices down let's and as their profits increase people stop. so they've got what they need out of this they've got to control it frankly now because they have no control they don't need biotech anymore they got the marketplace is to them big control the first week in the future. one of. the

the was it was it with the was it were with the. water. possibly it's not traded now but it could be in the future perhaps sure i don't know much about it because there is no market to buy and sell water maybe there will be in the future if i have a market where people who need water and a market of people who have water can get together and through their own best interest discover and that's important to discover the price of that of that

commodity. now there are governments how can a government how can. a group of supposed intellectual sit down and say this is the price of water everywhere around the world. will there be circumstances where some people will not have water. yes. that will happen that is the harsh reality of how markets function and the do you sometimes run out of soap yes whose fault is that probably yours because you didn't go to the store to buy any should you blame the government no. sure thoughts.
