most and time only tell and i'm sure that this ring cart in for private years will have to revisit because where the results of their decision could mean that a corporation could control almost anything that the put your genes into anything the put their facts are that's the way it stands right now also some people legal people have expressed that maybe it was a white decision that eventually now monsanto will be faced to be able to have to control what they put into the environment for although i built the issue and if they put up an environment that the pair ate and it's no they can't control dell take a second look at it if they put something in there and you going to end up with massive lawsuits which can break the company. i was just spent talking with nathan bush the wonderful new yesterday and he was

really telling me he said i had a great victory yesterday and he said that we should own up dairy and really given encourage and encourage bent but he said what now has to happen is that six months had to could farmers could break monsanto. if every farmer would phone up once hand and say i think there are some of your g.m.o. canola or soybeans have my people come and get it we don't want it here or i've i we've had some of your g.m.o. seeds up controllers toward being three my seed come and get it how it wants how to be able to take a plant out of a farmer's field how would they know if it could all plant when it's to see just say and the flowers the same so much sounder couldn't they couldn't do it. so. companies the ground of appeal that we were wanting to win on was the one that

would say that you know just because you have a patent to or gene or a cell that doesn't give you a patent to a plant the other part of the problem is what what responsibilities do biotech companies have to farmers for patented material that escapes and causes damage that issue is yet to come up although the you know in that respect the legal battle as far as percy is concerned is drawing to a close in and many many people around the world had paid their hopes on that ground of appeal and hope that we would succeed but i don't think it ends the war the war's going to continue continue in a different form i think this is a matter that parliament needs seriously to look at the impact if and now we're going to say in this country that you can give patents to people that allow them to control organisms that spread themselves around that raises implications that were raised in this case that need to be addressed by parliament and i hope their advice

to do so. but i want to ask you a question it's been reported by our national broadcaster this morning that the supreme court ruled that you deliberately. supplanted it jeanette. we ought of modified monsanto's seed in your crops and i just want to know if this is a correct report or if you could straighten the record for that for once and for all in my view if you're not planting something intending to grow around it ready crop meaning some crop you're intending to spray with round up. you know i don't see where that goes but as far as the supreme court was concerned in the lower courts. to that to the cultivation of plants with the gene in it was sufficient to be infringement today as a personal as i said it's a personal victory. six years of legal battle when we stood up to monsanto

back in one nine hundred ninety eight we never realize it would ever go this far and then when the other point i'd like to make. especially comments from the both the biotech industry you always have to remember monsanto late the lawsuit against me i did not lay the lawsuit against monsanto they were the ones to start it and then we took my wife and i took the position that a farmer should never ever moose's rights who's used to seed from year to year and that was the basis we fought that for the rights of bombers and it is. one. thing to. monsanto's patent on the gene is valid and wherever that tina rice by whatever means in any higher life form they all will and control that light form and when i

used that term higher life form i don't only mean seek to plant it's bird species animal even a human being so now we have more questions than we have at your feet canada and regards who owns like. if. you. really believe. since two thousand and four percy schmeiser has not planted canola on his farm and is growing wheat oats and peace instead but increasingly there are volunteers are browned up resistant canola on his fields he informed monsanto which tested the plants and confirmed them as being their patient

and canola but they would not remove the plants unless a full release a non-disclosure agreement was signed. and in that release form first of all they said we can never ever talk to anyone to the press are numerous what the terms of settlement were and he wanted us to sign give all or rights away well that was no way we're going to do that this new way we give our freedom of speech or we edit it and then take they would. they wanted us that we could never take them to court for the rest of our lives and it wasn't only perceive myself it was our children they want that they would have that the sign of the two that they would never speak if you're wrong it's been said and that's a reason why we did want to sign it because there's no we want to give it right away to a corporation. my father said ok we won't remove the plants then that i call points out will then we are going to remove my will get help and we will move we

move the plant and we will send you the bill my sample immediately send us an e-mail and said you're not allowed to do to those plants whatever you want because they're our property so i tell them it's your property it's on my property we're on the land we pay the taxes get your property off our land. first he hired a neighbor to remove the plants and send the bill to month son to over a total amount of six hundred canadian dollars monsanto refused to pay and luis miser filed a claim in the local small claims court. can you imagine the end there is going to monsanto a billion dollar corporation coming to court for six hundred dollars but five minutes before the trial might sadhu agreed to settle out of court and they agreed that there would be no gag order my wife and i could talk about it i could talk to

you about it you can make so it was not only a great victory for ourselves but now it opened it up for all farmers. in every part of the world if you are contaminated you know have an apple you where you can take my cat and not only monsanto you could take syngenta dupont to court if you are contaminate contaminated because now if president has been established. when i travel around the world and i meet so many people so many organizations that have such a dedication they one good food they want safe food and they don't want the environment our air our land our soil contaminated with poisons and then when i see how hard these people work and for what they believe in he gives me the

courage and the strength to carry on.

machine would be so much brighter. from science to impression.

from star time t.v. dot com. this week's top stories on our t.v. the league's league mission arab nations hold their observers work in syria over reports of an upsurge in violence the massacre says that could make things worse. talks between iran and un nuclear inspectors resume amid international tension iran is considering stopping fuel supplies to the e.u. within days as a response to sanctions. also u.s. anti corporate protests feel the full force of the law in oakland began with officers resorting to tear gas and flash grenades to disperse demonstrators and arrest hundreds. of multinational proposals to stop web piracy sparked mass protests in poland activists say their government is supporting internet censorship

not copyright protection. with a look back at the top stories from the past seven days and the latest developments this is the weekly on tape the arab league's observer mission in syria has halted its work saying it's concerned over reports of a rise in violence more than a hundred people are thought to have been killed in fighting between security forces and rebel groups in the last few days alone damascus condemned the decision saying it could actually result in more bloodshed and a foreign military intervention at the u.n. security council resolution on syria is under. aeration russia rejected the latest drop put forward by the e.u. and arab states calling for regime change in the country and allowing further action if the masses doesn't comply political analyst david letterman believes it's not a coincidence that the arab league froze its mission just as western powers up the

calls for foreign involvement. oh my goodness that sounds like a no fly zone to different language it was an open sesame to direct intervention meeting the observers were sitting in. the wrong man to lead the mission the sudanese general. they thought the air man in charge who would deliver the goods against the side believing him for everything going or what a general who he said started cooperating it's exactly the opposite of what the last one they wanted a precarious just step up whatever they have in mind which is some kind of action based solution is the way of syria's civil it's all going to see it's usually chicken opposition in syria syria is you know sorry to hear you see a reporter in there when they can or did we get to go to

a national poll that apparently go some credibility he said that. syrians. for america and britain and the arab league and there's to intervene in syria years and three years and to have an arrogant resolution saying and although we do it yeah two weeks well assad absolutely should in diplomatic way which tell these people to go. around one hundred observers are still in syria awaiting further instructions but gulf nations are not taking part they threw them on to saying the mission had failed to hold the syrian government to its pledge to and violence but as sara first reports weakening the fact finding team leaves syrians on the ground preparing for that was. saying they get by and heading home they've said it's from the gulf states leave the airport then mission incomplete leaving behind a country in a deepening crisis is never going to be easy so you want the arab league monitors

to stay. i don't want right from the word go the missions prefer problematic the opposition accuse the monitors of being too closely aligned with the government the government's now accused of being part of the foreign conspiracy and they will it just tickle complaints to the observer seemed ill equipped on the ground and they were concerned that they were simply too few numbers to undertake such a major task but if things were bad at the beginning now they seem even worse following in saudi arabia's footsteps all the gulf states withdrew their observers after damascus rejected their recent proposal that included president assad cede power to a deputy and form a unity government was interesting that this conference is very interested in democracy and they have nothing and this is the most interesting this is something funny we'll talk about about what will have a new constitution we are going to more democratic country multi parties was about

what about to do about the west's talk about syria which would be changed and leave saudi arabia as it has damascus says rejection was no surprise both sides of the conflict of shame equal a willingness to soften their stance even when the daily death toll in the country continually rising the killing of the head of the syrian arab red crescent was on the road to damascus yet another remind the spiraling situation. of the observers at such a crucial maybe into the country's crisis is seen as controversial the arab league essentially has no credibility on the arab. st what the arab league mission is trying to accomplish is get enough evidence concrete evidence about human rights abuses on the part of the also very team to then take to the un and the evidence will be so strong that even russia and china would feel compelled to work but as of

now one month after this mission started they seem to know the monitors thing to know more about what's going on the ground and they did. at the beginning and so it all looks like you know we're going back to square one as the death toll rises the proposal being floated to increase the number that is on the ground and provide them with u.n. training could be a life saving but for now these plans have been pissed on hold in fact much of the substance of the report that graded pieces on both sides seems to have been lost in the flurry of diplomatic activity now france and britain have joined forces at the united nations to try to end president assad's rule waving good bye that gulf state colleagues some observers remain but it's small consolation syria didn't close the doors in for the arab league i think. it's diplomacy will give anyone to help the syrian but the last decision in the hands of the syrian people not in the hands not

of bleakness good council it's a gloomy outlook for the country with little regional or international agreement on what action should be taken to stop the violence and putting an end to the crisis seem to be slipping further and further as a very. artsy damascus syria. also coping with unrest as egypt coming up a year after its uprising its back to tell his square has hundreds of thousands rally against the absolute power of the ruling military junta and its reluctance to step down. but still to come for you this hour but first u.n. nuclear inspectors have started a three day mission to examine iran's atomic activities to iran says it's certainly true. talks the first in more than three years will prove its program its purpose is purely peaceful the i.a.e.a. visit comes at a time when tensions between iran and the west are approaching crisis level on monday e.u. nations adopted an unprecedented set of sanctions against the islamic republic

which included a complete embargo on oil supplies from iran professor marandi from the university of tehran says the fact the ban was approved just before the a visit shows talks are unlikely to change the west's approach to iran the a currently has full time monitors in iran and this is something that we rarely hear in the western media and we have cameras in all of iran installations so therefore there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever that iran's nuclear program is anything but peaceful and. has no evidence on this the iranians are not very optimistic about the a because it is heavily influenced by western countries it's not a democratic body most of the members on the board are european and north american they don't represent the international community at all and the head of the i.a.e.a. is he owes his job to the united states if you look at the wiki leaks documents but

again the iranians are attempting to resolve the issue despite the fact that in the past when the iranians had attempted to put. the issue up front to negotiate and resolve the americans blocked it such as the tehran declaration between brasilia iran and turkey and more recently the russians to step by step proposal that the west hasn't. hasn't been supporting meanwhile to ron is preparing a response to the. iranian lawmakers are considering an immediate halt of oil sales to europe. and activists from the campaign against sanctions and military intervention in iran says the measure shows tehran is powerful enough not to succumb to economic pressure. the grace period that the vision for six months for it is going to take place may actually not be that graceful so iran is taking matters into his own hands and the other issue is that it shows a complex city of feeling in domestic politics and the power that the iranian

parliament holds and that is accountable to its people and it's not going to just sit back and watch what's going to happen to the national sovereignty off after iraq. really an excuse for deepening that confrontation between iran and the list actually as the same time that is imposing does involve those on iran if you see it are some european countries are selling more arms to the countries of the arab countries of the persian gulf so they are benefiting from this iran the phobia vistar creating in the region so why solve the problem with negotiations while some countries are cashing in well we're keeping a close eye on the iranian on the nuclear saga on air and online you can head to our website r t v dot com for more analysis and updates on the latest developments .

for us occupy movement protests once again turned violent and oakland california police fired tear gas and bean bag rounds at some two thousand demonstrators several hundred were arrested as attempted to occupy a vacant convention center before storming into city hall what is more important has more. it began around saturday afternoon when roughly two hundred fifty occupy occupy optimists in oakland california began demonstrating in the streets and it was hours past the crowd grew stronger and 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 optimiser 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 green means that the occupy up to this morning to the police they say members of the crowd began throwing things at times the officers and that is what ultimately triggered this clash between police officers and occupy optimist but as far as we know this is not the first time we've seen a fierce clash between officers and activists in oakland california got in october there was a least three hundred people arrested and a former u.s. marine by the name scott olsen was left in critical condition with a head injury from being struck in the head by a police tear gas can canister and this is something odd that put

a lot of criticism on the police department in oakland california they've been criticized for being very harsh with occupy out. well there's a key point protests in america come against the background of the race for the white house move through my door with a crisis i know president obama's administration is putting top of its to do list groups without awaits the leaders state of the union speech. that's a little later for you but in the meantime it's been a turbulent week for poland which saw thousands of people protesting against the piracy pact their countries signed up to along with twenty one other european states activists say the multinational deal which still needs to be ratified by the european parliament allows firms to censor the internet and get reports from warsaw . at first thousands across poland directed their anger squarely at the notorious anti counterfeit trade agreement the idea of funding. for publishing the.

material it's somehow illogical to me it's like punishing the corporation that produces knifes for. being used to kill somebody but with every passing rally the protest grew more political the crowds put prime minister government under fire for signing the agreement on thursday most governmental websites were hijacked by the anonymous hacker group i think they were trying to mask. the promise is that there would be a certain clause attached to the documents. so that we have. the right for our own interpretation of looking but that's not possible knows a lot from our government technically actor should be a good thing protecting intellectual property ranging from music to design your bags but the global online community fears corporations will use it to police the web and take regular users offline for harmless internet behavior 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 by the. in every country so we have another. source open people faired but actor is still an option for many many countries it was too much for one french e.u. deputy he quit calling act charade then came the twitter twist the micro-blogging site saying it can now censor tweets country by country. active protests in warsaw were expected to gather up to forty thousand people but a sudden big freeze kept many away nevertheless the intends to rally for several more weeks hoping to urge warsaw's ruling circles to take

a step back. states along with poland signed actor but it's only here that the decision has caused so much controversy and public dissent the document is yet to be ratified by the country spar laments which certainly leaves the possibility of more protests everywhere across the european continent let's. see reporting from poland. one of our correspondents in the micro blogging from twitter is in a flap over a censorship scandal of its own we've got more analysis on that on our web site r t don't call me one suggestion that the move will ultimately backfire on governments . make it very clear that their users your government is censoring you and i think that will be a huge step in pressuring people to share the stuff that was censored but also pressuring governments to change their policy. what's the full conversation with internet liberty campaign aaron swartz dot com also online of the moment. the

internet's most famous whistleblower is getting ready to reveal even more on t.v. than a son is not in his own talk show. all the details on our website. this week egyptians marked the years since the beginning of the country's uprising hundreds of thousands flooded into tahrir square the iconic birthplace of the revolution and today the polls are open for elections to the upper house of parliament this after islamist parties claim an overwhelming majority in the lower house a new government is currently trying to develop a new constitution but above all egyptians want the dissolution of the military council which inherited absolute power from deposed president hosni mubarak political analyst told r.t. the military knows it's time.
