now i worried after i found i was contaminated i worried i lost thirty pounds that year just over six or eight months just a timeframe we were i want to be worried here i was going to be possibly drug into foreign federal in a federal court never really been in a courtroom before and let alone go to federal court but now i'm not afraid of them i'm not scared of them and i know who i'm fighting and i know their tactics. i contacted an attorney i had to i knew that and because i cannot fight them by myself monsanto is too big of a company and i don't have the money to and i thought after i had seek counsel he advised me to put some signs up so i did put some signs up to keep people off and

particularly them if i can i don't know i guess time will tell on that. well most of the farmers that have that have relations with monsanto yes they are afraid of them and a lot of them have their settled and signed gag orders so they cannot speak about anything so you only find a handful of farmers out here that can actually talk about this i told no one i talked to no one until i found out whom turned me in and advised by my counsel i just didn't talk about it i probably didn't talk to anyone about it for six months .

there. i had one of the person to go talk to that i knew had been through it already and fortunate i can prove to him that day that i was a farmer and i needed his help and he helped me. and i'm thankful for him call him up yeah i'm in the field ok here's my location you come to me so i drove one hundred twenty miles just to talk to him and i was all the way up north in a state pen and i talked to him and he helped me out and then it wasn't quite as bad as i thought it would be but he helped me out a lot if nothing else just to settle settle my nerves. and he survived it and i come to conclusion that i can possibly survive it too.

also from indiana troy rush was wrongly accused of having reuse months santo's d.m.o. seat without paying license fees much like percy schmeiser his family had to come up with four hundred thousand dollars in legal expenses and finally after several years of legal battles agreed to settle with monsanto including a provision to keep silent about his case he is now advising farmers threatened by months until like david runyan the first thing i advise a farmer who has non g.m.o. soybeans is you must have third party sampling and testing of your crop because monsanto's can falsify the results of your soybeans. the farmer actually most at risk in these situations is the farmer not growing the g.m.o. soybean. because now he has to in fact prove his innocence that's the opposite of what people think you know our legal system does here in america innocent till

proven guilty well maybe so in a criminal situation i don't know but i can tell you when you're in a civil fight with a company like monsanto it is up to you to prove you did not in fact do what they're accusing you of. the majority of farmers i speak with. they they don't have the financial wherewithal to fight these battles. a lot of them. you know i can recall one particular farmer i was working with you know he they had to file bankruptcy and they they couldn't hire an attorney it's just terrible it's terrible and you've got this multinational corporation spending millions of dollars they can they can. prove whatever they want i often say that after my experience with the core system lady justice holding the skills and balances and in the way the court

system seems to work in america at least from a super slim point you power money on the balance and in the one who puts the most money on once our core system is just that was that was a dismal experience and i'm just just appalled that that's allowed to go on in america. i. if a farmer felt his neighbor was growing genetically altered or a month's have or monsanto's hit roundup ready canola that they should inform underneath they should wrap a suit squeal on your neighbor and we in return farmers tell me that if they did that they would get a leather jacket from what santo. if a farmer would squeal

a rat on his neighbor what monsanto would do is send out one of these or two of the sex r.c.m.p. or detective serino best to gators whatever you want to call them and they would go to a farm home and this is what the farmers would tell me they would come into this farm home and say to the farmer so we have a tip or a rumor that you've been growing wrote up ready canola without a license. and if you don't come clean we'll get you you won't have a farm left when we're through with you know with you and we know if you tell us that you're not your lion. farmers begin know not to trust one another because if you had a visit from an ex r.c.m.p. or a mount santa representative the first person he would think well it wasn't my neighbor that turned me in or was my neighbor that said this about me so it was destroy that

social fabric and i think this is one of the worst things that could happen the breakdown of our communities by this policy. they wanted to introduce when i see wanted to i mean like monsanto another company's wheat rice flax alfalfa and no permission was given. and it can aged people and the farmers and it can to more said we have seen the damage it has done to healthy environment mark chemicals with the park props we do not want any more new dmoz. i have heard not only in your country but also in my country and united states

scientists say and some government people say we must be part of this new technology. this new technology is crazy science it's unsafe science and it's not proven science. and if we've had in north america eleven twelve years of game modes how come we don't have lots of food now that the dumb hungry world. of corporations want total total control of the seed supply which will then give them total control of the posts apart that's what do you most are all about not more food to eat a hungry world but control of the seed supply.

with the u.s. economy still on the ropes have president obama pledges another program for change during his annual state of the union address. in libya gadhafi loyalists claim they're in control of the town of bani walid as the country's interim rulers struggle to keep the peace. and coming full circle into risk where thousands of egyptians protesters angry at the slow pace of reform are expected in central cairo as the country marks the first anniversary of its popular uprising.

on air and online twenty four seven you're watching r.t. as the u.s. presidential race picks up pace head of november's vote. trying to ratchet up support for reelection he's just delivered his annual state of the union address where he made new promises of change ahead what is going to care and was listening in. this was president obama's last state of the union address before he runs for reelection so his goal was to highlight his achievements and lay out new promises as far as the message policies he speech was full of heartfelt success stories about the economy and jobs creation but there is a lot of skepticism among american social inequality in america is now at a level unseen since the great depression the top one percent of the wealthiest in the country are making a killing while the middle class is shrinking dramatically and that is getting

wider american jobs are being outsourced to other countries president obama's state of the union speech sounded motivational full of good intentions but the fact that almost all his major economic initiatives got bogged down in congress like the jobs act that he put forward last year is giving a sense to many that he might be saying all the right words they may not be necessarily followed by on the foreign policy front he ran on promises to end wars but while he pulled troops out of iraq and started winding down the war in afghanistan with a pledge to bring all troops home by two thousand and fourteen america's wars didn't stop president obama bombed levy a last year to the tune of bringing about democracy also the u.s. may now be on the verge of an all out confrontation with iran in the speech he once again said all options are on the table washington is now act its military presence in the persian gulf region a new u.s. drone bases are popping up in the arabian peninsula so we see that while president

obama went through with the promises to scale back on the record of ghana's then he's been actively building up a platform for possibly new wars president obama certainly prized in cell phone his role in killing osama bin laden and a number of other terrorists but the means by which the u.s. is going about the task of chasing down terrorists raises a lot of red flags so some experts argue that what washington is doing is fighting terror and provoking terror at the same time but in president obama's presentation everything sounds just great on the war on terror front. well president obama i reiterated his commitment to cutting down on military spending and training armed forces for us professor paul sheldon foote says the president's pledge is an odds with washington's foreign policy goals he used the cute little code phrase that we're going to have an enduring relationship with death in a stand which means we're going to have bases in that country and stay there for ever whether they want to serve. likewise he said we kill gadhafi syria's

next day and if iran doesn't behave there the after that so. it is totally contradictory to say that he's going to be able to pay down the american debt and expand government spending programs domestically with savings from bringing soldiers older moore's what in fact he has plans to expand what he didn't mention trying to find any also said that we have a pacific strategy and the world will know that we are number one. and that was a thinly veiled threat against china even i mean how insane can you be china's holding more than a trillion dollars of our debt we've got tens of thousands of factories there we're highly coordinated doing depended on them though and he's threatening them to. well you know with r.t. still to come on the program a meeting of monetary minds the business in banking elite descend on davos for the

egypt's military ruler has announced that the country's decades long state of emergency will be partially lifted on wednesday it's one of the key demands of thousands of protesters who are marking the first anniversary of the uprising that toppled president mubarak but for many who continue to demand that the army steps down it's still not enough room for national reports now from current. a year after its historic revolution in egypt is far from calm protests have become a part of everyday life and no longer in event one of the revolutions most significant achievements. what i would never believe more would come out and speak out later. there are several reasons for egypt's people to take out to the streets following the uprising that ousted mubarak last february the country's economy is struggling unemployment is at its highest in decades and while the newly elected

islamist dominated parliament debate the country's future resentment grows against military rule and the feeling they hijacked the revolution. we want them to do what military should do to protect its citizens and not rule the country. well know what really want to be sure that there will not destroy our lucian's achievements they betrayed us the military dominated egypt's politics since the fall of the monarchy sixty years ago some skeptics say the twenty eleven revolution did little to change this trend. where mubarak toppled down people welcome to the supreme council of the armed forces to lead the transition but they nissho euphoria began to fade when the military council was still in place six months later after one bloody crackdown on peaceful protesters officer another claiming at least eighteen lives to tober there

isn't any doubt left here scaf should go i believe that they're there i mean our life i believe that we don't want them anywhere here in this chair that's what i believe in words and that's what most of what all i know believe and we will work in whatever happens as these are works with and discard are scared because he blew in arabic or army lawyers campaign they worked through really armies wrongdoings beach you know female activists attacking field hospitals and conspiracy theories under the military council twelve thousand people have been brought to mentor trials that are against less than two thousand and mubarak's thirty years scaf claim it's leave when the new president is elected in june but if you believe the promises that once were broken so easily some also fear that the generals may stay on behind the scenes reluctance to relinquish the power they've had for decades with protests pushing them to leave the one thing is clear the fight is not yet

over. greif an option r t cairo. egypt now has a newly elected parliament with a muslim brotherhood holding the majority of seats the army said it would give up power once a new president is sworn in after june poll well in our crosstalk program next hour people are belon his guests to debate the country's future here's a preview for you. if the united states wants to ingratiate themselves with the egyptian people what they've got to do is we've got to offer humanitarian aid we've got to offer loans. and services to the egyptian people and not so much you know i've got the government but i'm very much you think you're on their side you know but you know we wish nothing but the best for you know but well i don't i think most egyptians don't believe that ok after thirty years it's hard for them to believe that the last twelve months hasn't changed and i think that's why we've got a lot of work to do you know a lot of your. intentions if you just leave egypt alone completely and let them

decide for themselves let them decide their own foreign policy if they want to tear up the peace treaty with israel. i mean if you're saying there isn't a just ourselves it should be there is politics but there's a lot of humanitarian relief that we can help and that's the kind of work we should be doing. the so-called one percent global business elites have descended on davos switzerland to seal the deals and search for the salvation of capitalism that means it's time for the world economic forum which kicks off today perhaps unsurprisingly though the ninety nine percent to being worst hit by the financial crisis have been locked out and left to look on from the outside parties to reports. all right i'm here i made it to davos i'm at the world economic forum my first time i'm not alone though turns out morgan stanley's c.e.o. says first time which shows the caliber of the people that are here ok these are

much of the corporate elite much of the global elite when it comes to wealth power all of that so they're all gathered here the question is what is davos man got on his agenda this year now of course the unofficial business is what davos is really become known for in many respects that's what you hear about that makes it worth all the money that some of these corporations shell out to be here it's the networking and the deals that are done in private parties. you know off the record in hallways in lobbies so this is where a lot of the global one percent or some of them at least a presumably are doing business according to past reports ironically on the actual official agenda this year is the big topic of capitalism and if it is for ambling what its future is and what the solutions to its problems are so schwab the founder of the world economic forum has said that we can't think of this is business as usual anymore that capitalism in its current form has no place in the world around

us talking about much of the of the discontent we've seen over in quality that we've seen with the occupy wall street movement which is on the agenda when some of these sessions are talking about remodelling capitalism occupy is one of the things that they're talking about interesting lee though none of those activists are invited to the forum to have that discussion but they are here really highlighting the difference separating everybody else from the elites that are meeting here they have the igloo and can't mint which many people are talking about but they're very much here now as far as what exactly is going to go on i'll do my best to show you but the more i'm looking at these reports of what the press is going to be able to do it looks like i'm not going to be able to film or go a lot of the places that i would want to go except for maybe in thirty minute increments what's a day hopefully as supported by someone from the world. economic forum for me to lock down some of these. business leaders and heads of state and central bankers exactly what they're talking about the session i may not be privy to but that is

what i'm going to try and do i'm going to do my best for you all of that and i will be your intrepid reporter until there. was some international news in brief now for you syria has agreed to extend the mandate of the arab league observer mission by a month mission was set up at the end of last year to monitor the regime's compliance with leeks plan to end the violence there were reports claim sixty people were killed in antigovernment protests across the country on tuesday and. people died in the last ten months of rest. my dear ian forces have arrested scores of suspected members of an islam is group of two in raids in the country's northern city of kano the boko haram sect said it carried out a series of bombings in the city on friday which at least one hundred eighty died the group is considered the most violent radical organization in like you responsible for nearly a thousand deaths last year. hundreds of demonstrators in argentina were met by

brought police as a protest in front of the british embassy in over the disputed fourteen dollars but just as demanded britain hand the territories over to argentina britain has refused to send military support to the area tension between the two countries or. baited the pork in the 1980's insisting it had prior claims on the territory. and rescue teams are searching for seventeen people still unaccounted for after a cruise liner capsized off the italian coast new footage has emerged showing images of floating debris inside the vessel divers film the interior of the ship after using explosives to blast into more areas sixteen board. these have been recovered since the ship ran aground twelve days ago. so indeed is that labor laws a promise of full time workers a range of benefits from decent wages to paid holidays but those from the country's

poverty stricken region zoned always so lucky employers have found a legal loophole leaving many workers exploited through the fear of losing their jobs at any moment pressure to reports. it's got one of the fastest growing populations in the world and getting india's eager young workforce into skilled jobs is no mean feat business tycoon many shopper well thinks he has the answer a temp agency that trains and then touts its labor. was existed all over the world temporary staffing so good but you know what we've heard somebody every five minutes for the last five years filling posts and bringing home a paycheck it sounds like a perfect match but for indian firms there are extra more dubious benefits india's tough labor laws make it hard to fire workers plus permanent staff get decent hours holidays and a living wage none of which apply to hiring temps it's a cost cutting gifts keeping employers smiling all the way to the bank.
