because roger i knew there would be a release on blog no square in the south of iraq where it would that's why i went into politics what do you mean you knew nobody i got the signal this happens to me is reasonable say i foresaw the crisis and i sold my acids in advance youth and this time it was the same thing is it. i don't know i guess it's a bit more tricky it's a combination of knowledge experience being aware of the current situation in the country and the worldwide and intuition world added together all these things enable you to make the right move. india's labor in-doors promise full time workers a range of benefits from decent wages to paid holidays but those from the country's poverty stricken regions aren't always so that poets have found a legal loophole and they think many workers exploited through the fear of losing their jobs at any moment 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 mini shopper well thinks he has the answer a temp agency that trains and then touts its labor. existed all over the world temporary stuffing so good but what we've heard somebody of the 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 india has always been a famous destination for foreign companies to outsource their work at its cost but a growing trend here is for indian companies themselves to outsource their work force to agencies like instead of hiring workers for themselves everywhere from

malls to restaurants in india are using agencies to hire and manage their workers for the shopper while insists his workers do benefit vital training they are unlikely to get in india as many poverty stricken regions in the woman who film you know who really cannot afford a very expensive education it's the going to be for people who have those goals but don't know where to go they don't have the grooming them because some pantry agrees she's been rolled in one of the many nationwide team lease training centers to improve her english skills and enroll in a computer accounting course to make her stand out from the crowd to potential employers. the major coffee i was very worried to nervous about sitting for job interviews i'm not fluent in english so i wanted teachers because english get motivated and gain some confidence but critics say jobs people like some end up in should be higher paid and permanent and because the agency keeps the jobless figures down many believe it's bloody india over. takling it's labor law me which

lets firms get away with dire wages and sacking staff on a whim but shopper will insist the priority for those on his roster is putting bread on the table and that is really where we came in and said look a job is better than one job and employers were not hiring people because they were scared of him because they were law as we were saying look there are lots of kids who actually are not trying to move too often employers will use the law as a weapon in their hands to hit employers they're just warned an opportunity to get a job preassure either r t new delhi india. crudest hang out with latest business news. thank you rory it's twenty carriages sorry it's twenty one minutes past one pm here in moscow welcome to business with me queen of our count almost half of russian c.e.o.'s say they are very confident on growth over the next year according to a survey by pricewaterhouse coopers that's lower than this time last year while

sixty percent predicted good times ahead their peers around the world though are even less optimistic only forty percent of them forecast growth in twenty twelve just starting spoke to david gray from p.w. see russia at the world economic forum in davos where he sees the russian economy heading. i think the level of risk in the russian market is greatly exaggerated but i've been there seventeen years and so i've seen ups and downs it's either that you can put it two ways you can put it that the risk is exaggerated or the opportunities are underestimating so if you want to put it in a positive light so the under two opportunities are so great that the risks need to be seen in that context and therefore i do think that there's fantastic opportunities for domestic russian companies and also for inbound investment and we see international companies that have previously been russia coming into russia and existing ones who invested actually looking to expand their activities.

entrepreneurs are surging around the world according to a new report by the global entrepreneurship monitor however that's not the case when it comes to russia over seven thousand people were surveyed in the country the findings show that russia is lagging behind not only as brics peers but also the majority of eastern european countries were in a cause for that has more. there are almost four hundred million business men and fifty four countries and about a quarter of them are planning to add at least five new jobs over the next five years and we're talking about countries like brazil china australia and the united states now when it comes to russia the picture is pretty grim the number of new firms account for just five percent of business is that's compared to twenty five percent in china which places it at the bottom of the list of developing countries and russia is also slacking when it comes to internationalize asian with fewer businesses offering their goods and services to foreign markets. such

issues. corruption. when you suppose should get more taxes from small business at this point all the taxes for almost all the taxes go. figure a little and then some of taxes go but the subsidy it means there is no there were formally support. from the developmental business and they should get started they should get this money communes they were very very pleased between the number of small businesses small businesses and the budget. high level of has. the majority of small and medium sized businesses do not believe there will be a positive change soon and this is of course a bad sign for government plans to diversify the economy away from raw materials and make it less vulnerable to external financial songs. look at the markets now

oil rises above ninety nine dollars a barrel as australia says it will join europe and iran all boycott rising in the us are offset by concerns that iran could disrupt shifting. gears and stock markets open is likely higher with sentiment held by better than expected results from my phone maker lates the prior day. i am holding rose over four percent in london lifting difficulty to point any point. point three percent and the dax is down point two percent at the moment. here is russia where markets rise at. one point eight percent in the my six is up over a percent banking and energy stocks among the gainers let's have a look at the markets movers on the my six banking stocks are rallying on improving sentiment about the euro zone's debt crisis bank is top gator on them isaac's it has jumped nearly three percent russia second largest lender. is adding roughly two

point four percent and all major ross is up half a percent. market watchers claim this year is likely to be volatile for investors but emerging markets look appealing when it comes to fundamentals which remain strong among the brics economies there is scope for action though comes from the eurozone crisis which is fueling a global recession josh watonga from russian telecoms major m.t.s. believes the emerging markets are the only place to go for those wanting to capitalize on growth it's sometimes a challenge given the volatility that we see in global economies to get people into the emerging markets however for the medium and long term we feel that. need to look towards emerging markets because this is going to be the most natural place for growth in the world russia has what everybody needs resources to some degree intellectual capital and we feel that we're in a good position to capitalize on the long term. fellows appears to be pulling out

of the syria crisis which crushed its national currency last year it's getting three billion dollars support from the ninety crisis fund set up by regional assets including russia and the deputy chairman of the year asian development bank of looks into the country's prospects and the risks that remain. the musician program of bill it always is close to seven percent of g.d.p. of this country this is ample amount of resources so given that the current account of the country is showing signs of improving. we have historically high international reserves which is very close to two months of imports deliveries had never had we see clear signs of stabilization in belarus the challenge to do with as well as to all countries including russia and kazakhstan is how the global economy will shape up in the in this year.

but now stay with headline is coming up next.

it would be so much brighter if you knew all about someone from france to pressure movies. for a new start on t.v. dot com. but i get the main stories we've been covering this out where the u.s. economy stood on the ropes president obama pledges another program for change during his annual state of the union address. in libya gadhafi loyalists claim they've seized control of the town of bani walid and abolish the government appointed military council their country's interim rulers admit they're not sure who's really in charge of the city saying the violence was caused by internal problems. and coming full circle thousands of egyptians angry at slow reforms

gather in central cairo the country is marking the first anniversary of its uprising that toppled president mubarak. when next we bring you the story of one farmer who stood up against a massive multinational corporation to defend his rights and property. in japan i met with a lot of scientists consumers and processors and in part of us and this document here is a condensed version of the all the scientific studies the japanese have done using monsanto's data is over fifty pages long it has been all translated into english for me and that is on the food issues the food part of g.m.o. was months out always used a term substantially quadrant that the food is very similar but the japanese

scientists say that it is not substantially equivalent that food is different and that you have changed it to genetic engineering or genetic modification you have changed the structure of the food and it's not the same and it can have very harmful allergens or bacteria that because they're viruses and the bacteria that they use for the transferring of genes are also in that food so it is not the same and it could have varied a possible long range health effects of by eating it in other words what monsanto present it to our governments in north america is false and that it is not safe and it's not substantial equipment which means it's not the same as other regular food and that has been a major major announcement by the japanese scientists. in

north america the chain of transport is completely unprotected and open no one has ever thought of the idea of transporting and storing genetically modified grain separately no it is too late. it's very difficult to segregate the grain chromed regular grain and today they called her grain because you'd have contamination from the pit from the elevation from the trucks that are hauling it so it would be impossible to keep it separate so there had always be a small percentage each four percent each that would mix together and so it would not be g.m.o. free. thus the borders are open for the export of genetically contaminated grain and also seed into the whole world. if you introduce g m o's there is no such thing as coexistence and after several

years it all becomes. i have also heard in europe the company saying that all the farmer has to do is leave a buffer strip fifty meters one hundred meters there is no safe distance it doesn't matter if it's fifty kilometers it will spread. so if you introduce j m o's it all becomes mo's after several years and to give you an example how bad it is in canada we no longer have any pure rhapsody we no longer have any pure soya it has now all g.m.o. is in canada i have often heard in europe and we were also told that in one thousand nine hundred six farmers can have a choice they can grow g m o's they can grow organic or they can grow conventionally there is no more choice left it all becomes g.m.o. was and you no longer can have an organic farmers.

they want control ok and they basically have control is what they have first they go in and they bought our seeds stay seeds stock producer holden's corporation i believe out of iowa and after that they have holdings has like a whole family or group of seed growers and the rule was that in ninety five they said in five years and after they told them you will be selling ninety percent monsanto product or you will not be in business selling seed so if they did not

push monsanto's product on the farmers they would be out of business and so that's what all the sea growers did they push the product on the farmers so they can stay in business. because if they were did not have holdings to grow their spread their seed stock they would not having to sell it it all changed it all changed overnight in one thousand nine hundred ninety six it all changed and it's interesting that the way monsanto seems to enforce this saying is they go into the countryside and they try to determine who is clean in their own seed saving and cleaning your own seed for replanting the next years is a perfectly legal activity. but over the course the last ten years it's went from a perfectly legal and respected activity to one that is illegal. all because corporations have the money to own seed they own life. and what's even

worse about it is this is life that that the human kind of spent. eons developing. you know we took the soybean ten thousand years ago from nothing to what it is today and then monsanto comes along and search one little gene and then then they turn around and patent all the germplasm not just the g.m.o. but the the conventional portions of the seed and say yeah we own this too that's nonsense that belongs to humankind and in my mind. you know monsoonal likes to call pirates or farmers to save their own seed pirates pirates they call us. but i think we ought to revisit who's the real pirate here these people stole our genetic heritage. you. give farmers lose their rights to use your own cd become service of the land and we're back to a pugil system and that could quite easily quite quickly happen in

a third world country but it will also happen in north america and i think to some degree farmers already are in like a service of the land already because they have to buy the say they have to from a certain company they have to buy the fertilizers they have to buy the chemicals especially for all from the same company you have to pay a fee to grow a crop on their land on their own land so i think already to our large degree we are already served on our own land by a multinational corporation like months adol. market was is an organic farmer a neighbor of percy schmeiser together with a thousand organic farmers he sued monsanto if

a democrat is arising from the contamination of their canola and mustard crop. the thing is what should always happen is the precautionary principle we should not allow anything out of the lab oratory into the environment especially to do with our food because it is so essential we all need food we need water we need air we should not allow this to happen. only six years later the supreme court of canada decided that they could not bring the case as a class action no every farmer has to claim his damages individually and assume the high risk and high legal costs.

when we were in switzerland last year one interesting thing is we had a journalist i will who was very surprised to find out that when we do surveys in canada about labeling g.m. foods that over ninety percent of canadians say we want mandatory labeling on foods and this journalist was so surprised he said we just assume we take for granted that in north america you're comfortable with g.m. foods look you've been eating it for ten years there seems to be no health effects . you see people when you survey them when you ask them they don't want this we are eating this unfortunately because we don't know it's in our food there's no labeling therefore we've been used like laboratory experiments where you've been used as guinea pigs and who knows we may be affected with our health as we speak with products that you purchase in the store anything that has soya or canola in it

or corn you have to be aware because they most likely contain transgenic or g.m. products. in canada it was approved by the canadian food inspection agency they're the ones that gave monsanto regulatory approval for the introduction but they only used the data supplied to them by months until. they never did no testing whatsoever and so one month santos said to the canadian food inspection agency it tips actually haven't it's almost like the real food then the government said well then we don't have to test it if it's substantially public we don't have to have our own scientists check it did no testing whatsoever and that has really created a lot of peer. in the canadian consumers because what are they really eating when

monsanto said it was a one month sandal has a very bad track record when he was say p.c. b.s. were say a you know orange would say now are we to believe them when they say g m o's or g.e. or genetic engineering you say i would never trust them one bit because they don't have a good track record because everything they said before was false and a lie. also in the case of months santo's herbicide roundup there were studies demonstrating that roundup could be used without risk resulting in worldwide approval of the product many other studies so the negative health effects of the active ingredient to round on life was eight months until itself warns the material safety data sheets of tissue damage bloody vomiting cardiac arrhythmia and pulmonary edema as a result of direct contact or ingestion of the toxin. and

they'll be a profound that round up studies done in oregon shows that it is the third biggest commerce from related illnesses in the state of california and eventually it originally we were told by monsanto round up is so say you could drink it. with the advent of gene technology the chemical industry entered into the business of plant breeding dupont's among some to go but. produces for about twelve point five billion dollars in ten years today the two chemical giants are also the biggest plant breeders in the world producing about three quarters of the world's g.m.o. crops. the height of gene technology cynicism is the so-called terminator technology it makes the farmers biologically dependent on the corporations the plants of

genetically modified in such a way that they are able to germinate only once sowing the harvest seeds is pointless the harvest is dead. monsanto flower has said. that they own anything they put that seed in or they develop what about if you put a gene into a human being does that say they own me has that say they own you.

but i was from one end of south africa whether it was john as were girl gerben or are cape town cape town where the parliament is at i was invited to speak there and then an incident happened in it or at the parliament that i'll never forget into a month when i monsanto's representatives also had given a small presentation and i had given a presentation regards how their seats implants is how it could be contaminated and coming out of the assembly the parliament assembly where i went face to face in two months had his representative from johannesburg and he he was very very out of that i would say rude and a he said to me and shaking his fist to my face said nobody stands up to months sound oh we're going to get you and we're going to destroy you and no way and he

also went on to say that when i get back to canada i was going to be in big trouble and sure enough three weeks later when i got back to canada monsanto launched another lawsuit against me tariff for a million dollars and for all their car cars because they said i was stubborn i was arrogant i didn't do what months and. won it and after another year of trial the judge the same judge as to first went out ahead in the federal court or what it must sound one hundred fifty thousand dollars a court cost they didn't get the million and so i am now faced with an additional costs if i wouldn't lose my case in this way in court. in may two thousand and four the supreme court of canada announced its decision one percy schmeiser did infringe upon the pavement owned by months on to a corporation by illegally seeding his canola which was contaminated with months antos d.m.o. seen and to because he did not actively use the patient is not required to pay any

damages two months ago. at the same time as the judgment is being announced an auto a birth the smiter and his lawyer terri's a christie give a press conference in saskatoon there was. approximately two hundred thousand dollar judgment that was set aside by the supreme court of canada today and that to percy is a fairly major victory. but i really feel that the fact that i can save money farm same a home without pain that costs to monsanto you know i was looking at a two hundred thousand dollar bill so that is a major victory to me. the court rules further the page and on the gene allows the owner to control the entire plant that is the paint on the gene has priority over the ownership of the plant. where it says tries or lose.
