some place a positive identification for genetic material. and i worried after i found i was contaminated i worried i lost thirty pounds a 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 in a 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.
12:49 am
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 tried to after i've 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 always 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
12:50 am
. and there. just i had one of the person to go talk to that i knew had been through it already and fortunate i could 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.
12:51 am
also from indiana troy rush was wrongly accused of having reuse months santo's d.m.o. seat without paying the 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 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
12:52 am
risk in these situations is the farmer not growing the g.m.o. so. 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 couldn't hire an attorney it's just terrible it's terrible and
12:53 am
then 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 holden the skills and balances and in the way the court system seems to work in america at least from the simpson point is 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 grown genetically altered or a month's have our monsanto's hit roundup ready canola that they should inform underneath they should wrap
12:54 am
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 my 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
12:55 am
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 destroying 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 what the park props we do not want anymore new dmoz.

fought against a new that a national and piracy agreement seen as censorship accu and rights abuses. here in russia the internet has become a battlefield for re-election campaigners with provocative viral videos and slogans used as weapons in the online battle for votes. it is ten am in the russian capital you watching r t with me marina joshua welcomed the arab league's monitoring mission in. syria has been suspended due to a sharp rise in violence opposition activists suggest that over two hundred people have been killed in the past four days across the country syria's state t.v. has reported that damascus regrets the league's decision saying it may result in more bloodshed and for military intervention that's as the u.n.
1:02 am
security council is set to discuss a new resolution on syria calling for regime change and warning of further action if damascus fails to comply russia has opposed the document saying it can be used as a basis to solve the situation on top of this the e.u. imposed yet more sanctions against syria this week to further pressure the president now that the servers mission has been frozen people are preparing for the worst as artie's correspondent sara furth reports. over the last few weeks we've accompanied the observers on many of their excursions into some of the country's most restive areas here this prison on the outskirts of damascus these are the prisoners they've been selected for at least the season and you can see the signing on this is being overseen by some of the arab league observers who have been here their presence has enabled an increase in foreign media in the country many of whom also join them on their trips is being considered

a slightly safer way of visiting these areas they are accompanied by government security offices and is believed to at least hopes the worst there in an area security forces won't shoot that's what the people felt when the observers arrived at these places the protesters told us they felt temporarily safe enough to express the views openly. but one saves his leave and the protesters are left alone they tell us punishment is our way to get. them back to my fellow was a gulf state monitors withdrew at the beginning of the wake of the observers have presented their opposed to the arab league with the hotel as the mother to set their goodbyes some of them was switching phone numbers and taking photos with colleagues their bags packed many of the monitors are now leaving the country and their withdrawal has been seen as a major blow to the observer mission it seems that could turn out to have been
1:04 am
a fatal one a senior source from the opposition with inside the country the n.c.c. has told r.t. that he thought observers were hoping to restart their missions and the decision was a can to form of protest against the growing violence and. come down they could resume their work but on the day that the statements has departed one observer has hinted to me that the rest of them might not be far behind. and it seems that talks of further training for the monitors and increasing the numbers seem to have been forgotten about despite strengthening the mission being more important now than ever. to proceed on friday the monitors had taken the tailing journalists on a tour around the christian area of damascus where like most fridays here the streets were almost deserted they'd chosen not to venture further afield unimpressed afterwards we pushed on with some of the journalists to now controlled

by the free syrian army. but without the observers and the protesters concerned about the security forces imminent arrival was an extremely serious one when gunshots rang out in the distance we had to leave there was no guarantee that we wouldn't be caught in the middle of what locals tell us the regular crackdowns to try to regain control of the area for the time being the free syrian army remains in control that without the observers and many of these places will become almost inaccessible again with no one to monitor the current situation locals living in these areas say that they fear the danger has no greatly increased for them in now seems a question of if but when the observers will resume their mission and so at a time when the conflict is in more desperate need of carving than ever the fool the one small source of hate for many people has just been halted it's going to make it that much harder to establish exactly what's happening here in the country
1:06 am
surface r.t. damascus in syria. a political analyst and professor at the lebanese international university dr him all one came says there is a clear connection between the mission suspension and debate at the u.n. security council. they sent monitoring mission to syria it went against the sin not you that was said by the united states by giving. but by by stating that there are insurgents throughout syria which justifies actually the policy is followed by the regime by cracking down on insurgents with the five denied by the western countries and by their allies it was interrupted specially that there was a will not of you to transfer the file of syria to the united nations in order to take action to come up with a resolution in order to enforce

1:08 am
stronger up to roughly twenty two thousand people strong ultimately what the goal was for this demonstration is for protesters to take over and abandoned building where they wanted to create their new headquarters because as our viewers may remember crossed the country in the united states just a few months ago police departments are removed activists from their camps and this was an attempt for oakland optimist to set up a new headquarters but as the crowd grew stronger and larger and then chile the police in oakland began firing tear gas and flash grenades the occupy atlanta this morning to the police they say members of the crowd began throwing things at times at the officers and that is what ultimately triggered this clash between police officers and occupy optimist but as guys you know this is not the first time we've

a criminal charge for posting certain links when you have a copyright industry that's talking about extraditing a person who has done nothing but linking to t.v. shows extradition does something useful murder and genocide does this is such an abuse of power. think is time is more than ripe for a serious review of what we want with copyright law and it's certainly not calling out just terrorists it certainly has a striking resemblance to the much debated sopa bill in the united states which sent even online giants like google and wikipedia to take direct action but the law was only meant to work locally across the atlantic while act would be applied more globally they are not. racial groups and in some countries it needs to be ratified by parliament but not in every
