really witnessing the surge in infrastructure construction the somare region special economic zone promises exceptional opportunities for developing fuel business in russia will come to the somali region for more information log on to the best and some are up to you. about five thirty pm here in the russian capital you with our breaking news this hour moscow warns it will pull out of the start treaty and stop nuclear disarmament if the u.s. continues to deploy its missile defense shield in europe president get it also says russia could deploy an anti missile system on its own borders. thousands of venting their anger at egypt's military rulers protesters staying put in the heart of cairo saying the army is concessions simply are not enough the military council says

a presidential election will be held by next summer people want them to go right now. and reports of at least twenty eight people killed in syria in just the last few days as the un's a human rights group condemns the government russia abstain from voting calling for dialogue between the opposition and president assad's regime. and now here are our special report about how the world is producing more food than ever but still struggles to feed the planet's poorest and watching out. 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 full buyer a processor like general mills or kellogg's or coast and you can lock in the priced of the grain months 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 a port already at a much lower price that. these contracts do not remain in earth 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 transferring risk whole purpose of the exchange is to transfer risk from people that have that like farmers and don't want it to 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 sokoto brain market. 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 and lost on the mortgage market. but some prime crisis as it was called led to a collapse in investments. with the markets crumbling because of the mortgage crisis highly investing profiteers saw a new opportunity in food boehm vade of the chicago markets and began to buy time contracts in unprecedented quantities causing prices to shoot up. investors sometimes of real estate and housing and jumped on the bandwagon of primary commodities food commodities their 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 is not a question there was some correlatives 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. that prices would have gone up anyway. because of the weather problems on the weak dollar and the export bans and tight world stocks. that's why prices run up the hunger that has become permanent and global is totally a 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 for

months and till the seeds of cargill for preet 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 doubled. so if you want to understand why prices are going up i'll be the lightning less you just have to look at these companies when santa is buying of every seed company of the world cargill controls about seventy percent of staple food treat in the world and they would like to put one hundred percent and they would like the situation with a prayer that says give us this day our daily bread is a prayer not to call the creator but is a pray carville and say. us company monsanto is the world's biggest trader of genetically modified seat. 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 the deforested huge areas and cause cancer and tetra genesis which continues to affect the country even today. in two thousand and two the company obtained permission from the government of india to introduce a genetically modified cotton seed in the markets no one knows bt called it is genetically enriched in laboratories with bacteria capable of killing the parasites that threaten this plant. we have been able to develop a technology called board god of bt cotton technology where we. produce the seed that has. best thereby helping farmers almost double their production reduce the number of pesticides they've been using in the field to control those pests and really increase their average income in six after the

introduction of. india has become the world's second largest producer and second largest exporter in six years an introduction of the. four 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 i'm giving everyone the right to use. that. i'm home i do. it with them we would plant our own seeds from what we used for food we would keep. the following year we we would plant those same seeds . with a group of if they were natural so. there was a drugs they'd come out fine just the same if. we had our own

seeds we didn't go to the market we had no separate expenses for that number. just. so. so so so. so. so. we had cotton we had corn we had her purse we had everything. the seeds yours. they were ours the peppers the corn the cotton were ours. you know what it means to you. and you

want to price for your crops so yes i even won a prize so if your seeds were good why did you take the others the others were also using well we thought we could get a better harvest. and we used them too that's how it happened. with these 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. now we use them five times and it's not enough.

only the soil has lost its strength because of the bt cardinal if we use a different seed nothing grows you don't use your own seeds no we do not. stuff you heard you can't imagine there deception they would bring p.t. seeds and say we don't need to use a lot of chemicals. and for a year it was like that however the following year a new paris ate the a bug 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 those months on to produce it also produces chemicals and who is the biggest trader in chemicals months until you think oh stop bringing their chemicals and pesticides to the market would any company give up on

profit no. if the farmers in india cultivate expensive crops they depend on multinationals for seeds and medicine fertilizers of which they need more and more. on the same farmer that spent nothing on seeds before now must spend forty percent on salads. and before there were no expenses and fertilizer now twenty percent goes to that the farmer would not use any press decides 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 only. 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 soaked himself in petrol. and we saw a very strong fire and then he came in fell here. and we were all here. but i've had a. good look and he was burning in front of our eyes he burned very quickly as the. girl's mind in the. dark we did everything we could to save her 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 her not to take it too seriously we didn't imagine

he would 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 with. this story is that we have suddenly become scandinavians and don't see the sunlight and therefore getting depressed and of hamas and their lives it's amazing how hard put out the human 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 with deeply indebted object that shul's that the majority of them watching today because we keep punching. mostly sides of the two hundred thousand are in the cotton belt most of them have grown we think clinton the story of indian farmers is the story of how distribution is hope relations have emerged as criminal operations i often see is two hundred thousand people have been killed by a dictator we would have gone into genocide. suicides in india or tragic phenomena and unfortunately have existed we had before the introduction of bt cotton in two thousand and two the family court was the suicide society and it had missed and so often other causes are you know adequate

infrastructure and education. for all sorts of cool. she will say nothing. of the she will say nothing about alone i always find him worry deep in thought. 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 was testing us let's not warry all get through this

a sad but she said that was impossible because we had debts and knew harvest. how will belief. how will raise our children now. all that's war a team and she wouldn't talk much. only. when there is school and the girls told me her father drank poison i couldn't understand what he drank and what it was.

how he will be the late me the seeds they give us that is the main cause of suicide they put annihilators and so i think they are. 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 why then not even the loaner will lend him money the bank won't lend him money oh. that's not what he gets depressed well everybody's in a bit there. 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 monsanto. as strange as it sounds through this patent to consolidate something that is alive has its own invention and has the right to exploited exclusively for twenty years. if a farmer keeps some seeds to plant next year then he is accused of being a criminal. he will be fined with twenty five thousand rupees which is three hundred eighty euros we can the small farmers pay a twenty five thousand rupee fine. before we would keep our own seeds and use them the following year but if the farmer doesn't do that he'll have to go all the seeds each year. tell me is that fair on humanity certain followers have.

entered into contracts with us stating that they will. use the seed for one season and then for some reason to use the seed. that violates the contract that we had with these farmers it is a very small number. and in most cases we look thought out these differences out of court so when you apply a patent that you can't see the seed for another growing season first of all you're massively increasing the cost of production for farmers massively. we're borrowing 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 of a neighbor well that we couldn't save and his same. medical she was depressed

the data was huge. amount of that and now i don't know what to do and when my husband brought to money market the nobody will lend money to woman or the head of someone especially here. in this situation hurts me and i feel so sad. for. the cottonseed earlier it not have protection against war but it's. always had this great best of sides. scientists i recall decided to sit on the board what able to find a more sustainably we could protect the plant against those against that war one that was what it already called bt cotton which is inserted into the sea it's

a product of the science in the sea. really an oligarchy where the controls our food supply the seeds of life and those companies now are going beyond the paddling it was single pride variety to say we can patent all plants and we can patent all crops with a single hard work claiming traits within those varieties in those crops that are common to all of them. so we control everything we controlled through sr. we did they make the seeds. until today nature made the seeds to create anything living they couldn't. whereas in russia seventies there is no proprietary secret plan of whatsoever not really actually day eighty two percent of the seeds sold are proprietary they're part of

a patent. that's an enormous chair. kennedy engineered crops do not produce more food but they tell the lie to prop them up it's more straight does not feed people it leads people hungrier because a globalized treat then becomes a trade controlled by five agribusiness corporations who can get the prices as they want and they want to speculate upwards they 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 and frankly now because they have that control they don't need biotech anymore they've got the marketplace is to them they control the first link in the future. so they have one of. the

the was it was it with the was in the it with the with the with the with the. water. possibly it's not traded now but it could be in the future perhaps sure but i don't know how much of the hold 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 an important or discover the price of that of that commodity. how there are a government 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 add 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. it's your fault.

culture is that so much allafi malarial that is it all worth trying to see what's next for the occupy movement across the us after police use strong arm tactics to disperse protesters should the movement seek a way to join the. come
