this isn't acceptable our rule is to provide medical care to work on tuesdays and sick detainees not to repeatedly treat the same patients between torture sessions the news comes amidst rising anger with libya's interim government demonstrations in benghazi last week ended with the resignation of a high ranking member of the m.t.c. in the former gadhafi stronghold of bani walid locals pushed out their traditional council forces claiming systematic abuse it started with the very beginning of the rebellion very beginning of the insurrection the second day of the rebellion eighteenth of february the african migrants were rounded up locked in a detention center and burnt to death and the n.p.c. expressed support for this time and this is part of the strategy of the west you know divide and rule and that was given the green light of the torture and execution that we're seeing now so this is a recipe for civil war meanwhile the nato operation that brought the empty seat of

power is by itself raising questions. and high profile international team of human rights activists has been to leave here to investigate some of the nato that it bears entity of were with their evolution in the fronds and there were guiding the air raids and they addicting them and court have been eating them if you are mandated. approach to see. that. it is very very accurate in a way that i myself saw the killing of so many people in front of me. i saw the killing go fifty one people in front of my eyes was fifteen years old and while all sides in the live in conflict are to blame for violence and violations the human rights activists claim not all of them have been held responsible for their wrongdoing

investigated what happens during libya's seven months civil war and the nato campaign to protect civilians this fact is not the mission discovered again crimes against humanity but the goal was not to judge but to shed light on what happened and not to repeat the mistake in recent united nations report has reviewed that up to eight thousand supporters have been held by militia groups in libya right now and with numerous accuse ations of torture and revenge killings throughout the country hopes of a new beginning for libya are fading quickly. r.t. . also in libya the national transitional council has reportedly begun amassing forces including truck mounted and to aircraft cannons near the rest of town of bani walid the true buildup comes after a deadly clashes in the town earlier this week during which government buyers were forced out the unrest mirrors a growing frustration and maybe it was manic people fed up with anti incompetence

and violent power struggles between former rivals patrick hayes a reporter for the online magazine spiked says he's not surprised by the latest events the national transitional council itself was very much something that was already chosen by the west not something that was chosen by the libyan people he was very much kind of put in place and then there were kind of helicopters in when gadhafi was gotten rid of so the thing that i find very striking here actually is that the n t c isn't doing itself any favors into the pro-democracy campaign is also seeing off. supporters as well warnings for a long time that this could happen in bani walid people are saying very least two moments we may get a pro get off the uprising here and the m.t.c. did nothing about it so it's not surprising it does seem like the m.t.c. is impotence and this is reflecting the needs and desires of anyone in libya at the moment and here in russia the internet ad has become the perfect arena for

presidential campaigns the fight for the top job has taken a viral dimension as political activists try cutting edge tactics to win the hearts and minds of the people are just has been looking at what's going on at the online battle front. doesn't want is the. ones that are going very soon some time and slogans called out from the podium of the traditional election season fair but they're no longer considered politically involved with. today's complaining has gone online in a whole new trend in russia. with programming and bloggers making fun of the opposition portraying them in prayer outside the u.s. embassy on sundays claiming they are connected to the u.s. state department and the opposition filming funny cartoons about politicians made out of lego. getting information out there is becoming

easier all the time but the internet is a very different medium to television while on t.v. it's enough to just look into the camera like this to viewers a time should not so on the net to me. reach millions of lines it's not just mass it also has to be brazen and sometimes project to print a message. it's no surprise then that as a character from harry puter. overnight. it's an industry doing the symbol. of i don't see what i see you stuck with something yes they go to the caribbean they're going to. make it and they're trying to talk with you so when you're in the new. propaganda but it will just be them so that they do but don't compete it's up to you about the appeal from catching images memorable catch phrases are used

against those in the corridors of power opposition blogger alex enough while me was the first upload his shot which is tongues online a year ago he labeled the ruling united russia party of the apes and scoundrels the insulting was brazen first appeared on the net but quickly migrated to almost every magine of all media in russia and beyond a year after party won in the parliamentary elections and reworked the catchphrase felicity's a vote for the party of thieves and scoundrels for ten years of economic growth but the party of these in scoundrels united russia. the mastermind behind that video and state duma deputy robert proved his party can also fight its wars online broke out superballs the use of being able to my aim is to provoke supreme reality darker than that is often i don't agree with such statements in my videos but they do work but i see these putin and russia without putin would rise why not give away

your country your beautiful girlfriend to some foreign guys what will happen to the caucasus nothing less just give it away to you spawning a war technically this video has made a very professional you can see that highly paid special is did it appeals to primitive responses but works one hundred percent first thought is that there is indeed no intro without putting but videos from the opposition are just. an out of whole a trend of this election season eavesdropping on politicians and. sting recordings online or those taking part in a massive opposition rally in december were surprised to find out that one of their inspirations for the recent song described them in a phone as. hear from its future of remover. for your. work. it's naive to expect from any side when we are living in

election year there are no holds barred in this war not even interfering in someone's private life so. a lack of privacy for today's politicians is already a modern day reality and with fifteen million russians going on lunch today about forty percent of the adult population she's the future is predicted to be she deals with them online political other tars pushing the boundaries of a virtual world without borders exceeding the gradual r t. a law makers in tehran are set to approve an immediate halt of oil sales to europe in a vote due to take place in the country's parliament parliament today it's a preemptive move in response to foreign bargo on the radio while by the european union due to come into force in july by imposing the sanctions the e.u. leaders are looking to bring in and tehran's disputed nuclear program meanwhile a group of hardline iranian students have met a team of top i am specters that arrived in tehran for the highest level of talks

on the nuclear issue for more than three years the activists protested against overwhelming western pressure and claim their country has a right for a peaceful nuclear program soraya said for an independent researcher and ryder believes iran will eventually survive the oppression sanctions or warfare there's no doubt about it so this is nothing new and they will continue to do that but i think you ron has become well experienced in being able to fight off these wars and these covert actions and america israel the western allies now europeans are only harming themselves iran i am confident iran will eventually. taking a look now at other stories from around the world at least twenty six people have been killed and ten injured after a fire broke out at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in peru's capital lima the country's

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 their 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 ever 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 throw in the regular grain and it could then take altered 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 seat 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 sixty 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 farmer. they want control ok and they basically have control is what they have first they

go in and they bought our seeds stay seed stock producer holden's corp 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 if 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 seed 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 press their seed stock they would not having to sell it it all changed it all changed overnight in one thousand nine hundred 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 not them 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 that say their own seed pirates see

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 seed 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 he 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 adul. 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 laboratory 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're being 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 the most likely contain transgenic or g.m. products. in canada it was approved by the canadian food inspection agency they're the ones that give 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 cuebid 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 safe when months and who has a very bad track record when he was say p.c. bees were say a you know when she was 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 them 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 though the a prone that round up the studies done in oregon shows that it is the third biggest carse from related illnesses in the state of california and eventually it originally we were told by monsanto round up is so sate 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 zero 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 are 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 her cape town cape town where the parliament is that i was invited to speak there and then in incident happened in it or at the parliament had i'll never forget in town a mile one of 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 ran face to face in two months had his representative from johannesburg and he and 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 monsanto 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. one 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 of court costs 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 patient owned by months onto 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 british miser and his lawyer terri's a christie give a press conference in saskatoon there was. approximately two hundred thousand dollars 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.
