and in the agreement on thursday most governmental websites were hijacked by the anonymous hacker group i think they are trying to mask. the promise is that there would be a sudden closer touch to the documents. that we have. the right for our own interpretation of the can but that's not possible knows a lot from our government technically active 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 act. out. groups

and in some countries it needs to be ratified by parliament but not in every country so we have another. option for many many countries it was too much for one french e.u. deputy 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 war so were expected to gather up to forty thousand people but a sudden big freeze kept many away never the less they intends to rally for several more weeks hoping to urge warsaw's ruling circles to take a step back twenty one other member 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 has the possibility of more protests everywhere across the european continent. let's. see

reporting from poland. mentions the microblogging fun toys haze in a fog of our sun strips candle of it's own and of course none of us has gone back on our website article calling closing once a treasure but we've moved well ultimately backfire on the other. side but make it very clear that their users your government is censoring you and i think that'll be a huge step in pressuring the pope people to show the stuff that was censored but also pressuring governments to change their policies so where's the full conversation with the influence of illiteracy campaigner aren't shorts on also dot com and also life in. the internet's most famous whistleblower is getting ready to reveal even more on t.v. today as sun is launching its own talk show i'll see all the details on our way.

in the election campaigning in russia it's the weapons that are on the frontline on the battlefield he can see and has been looking at the consing edge talk takes being used to win hearts and minds. because there were others that were right is a closer look at the grey suits and ties and slogans cold out from the poor d m r the traditional election season fair but they're no longer considered politically in vogue. today's complaining has gone online in a hot 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
6:22 pm
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 viewer's attention not so although there are too many who are here reach millions of lives it's not a lot it just. it also has to be brazen and sometimes project a whole different image. it's no surprise then that putin as a character from harry puta became an overnight hit it's an entity doing the symbol . of i don't see what i see you have lost the stick with something yes there you go to the good though you'll make it and you're sure that the quickest when you're going to do. propaganda but it was us beat them so that they do but i don't convert it's up to

a body apart from catching images memorable catchphrases are used against those in the corridors of power opposition blogger alex in the valley was the first upload his sharp witted tongue online a year ago he labelled the ruling united russia party of the eaves and scoundrels the insulting phrase at first appeared on the nat but quickly migrated to almost every magine of all media in russia and beyond a year after the 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 with the party of these in scoundrels united russia. the mastermind behind that video and state duma deputy robert slagel proved his party can also fight its wars online broke out super powers the use of being in my aim is to provoke to preen reality darker than that is often i don't agree with such statements in my videos
6:24 pm
but they do work but i see these putin and russia without putin rise why not give away your country your beautiful girlfriend to some foreign guy what will happen to the caucasus nothing less just give it away to. respond in your technical the video has made a very professional you can see that a highly paid specialist did it with good appeals to primitive responses but works one hundred percent first thought is that there is indeed no future without put but videos from the opposition are just as blatant. and how the whole trend of this election season eavesdropping on politicians and posting recordings online those taking part in a massive opposition rally in december were surprised to find out that one of their inspirations worrisome self described them in a phone as. you're . naive to expect blitheness from any side when we are living in election
6:25 pm
year there are no holds barred in this war not even interfering in someone's private life. a lack of privacy for today's politicians is already a modern day reality and with fifty million russians going online today about forty percent of the adult population the future is predicted to be filled with online political other tars pushing the boundaries of a virtual world without borders exceeding the pressure of on our t.v. . the while kind of the busy storming the web those demands for our vote have go behind the will to protest hundreds of cars flying because a white as a symbol for free poor have been circling the center of moscow has been the latest poll in the parliamentary elections in december. reports. scores of drivers are taking part in this a run across moss going support
6:26 pm

welcome back this is things at the week's top stories. the league's beleaguered mission our nation's appalling steps of his work in the sewer of reports are not sounding vonnegut's that could make things work as. talks between obama and you and you play inspector presumably international turned to iran is considering a stop playing field supplies to the view within days as a response to sanctions and. also us article for pressurize feel the full force of the new order oakland begad let's hope this is resorting to tear gas that flash
6:31 pm
grenades to disperse demonstrators and their. two hundred. multinational proposals to stop what piracy is part mass protests in poland talks of it say their government is supporting internet censorship not to compromise britain. as the headline see up next a modern david and goliath battle as a report on how agricultural giants are trying to eliminate old fashioned. 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 issue the food part of g.m.o.
6:32 pm
was months out always used to term substantially quadrant of 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 in a true genetic engineering or a 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 his not the same as other regular food and that has been a major major announcement by the japanese scientists. in
6:33 pm
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 regular grain and today they call her brain because you have contamination from the . from the elevation from the truck several hauling so it would be impossible to keep it separate so there is always be a small percentage of each or 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.
6:34 pm
if you introduce dmoz there is no such thing as coexistence and then after several years it all becomes dmoz 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 rub see 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.
6:35 pm
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 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
6:36 pm
monsanto product or you will not be in business selling seed so if they did not push monsanto is 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 press 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 thing 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 war and that is illegal. all because corporations have the money to own seed they own life and what's even
6:37 pm
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 monsanto likes to call pirates our 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. if farmers lose their rights to use your own c.d.o.
6:38 pm
becomes service of the land and we're back to a feudal 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 the service of the land already because he have to buy the cd 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
6:39 pm
a thousand organic farmers he sued monsanto for demigods a rising 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.
6:40 pm
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
6:41 pm
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 month santo. they never did no testing whatsoever and so one month santos said to the canadian food inspection agency it's substantially quadrant it's almost like the real food then the government said well then we don't have to test it if it's substantially quoted we don't have to have our own scientists check it did no testing whatsoever and that has really created a lot of fear in the canadian consumers because what are they really eating when
6:42 pm
monsanto said it was say ten months and who has a very bad track record when he was say p.c. bees were say a you know orange would say now are we to believe them when they say a g m o's or g.e. or genetic engineering it's a i would never trust them one bit because they don't have a good track record because everything they said before or is 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 a demon as a result of direct contact or ingestion of the toxin. and
6:43 pm
they'll be a problem 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 say you could drink it. with the advent of gene technology the chemical industry entered into the business of plant breeding dupont and monsanto but seed producers 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
6:44 pm
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 seat in or the view that what about if you put a gene into a human being does that say they own me has that say they own you.
6:45 pm
but i was from one end of south africa whether it was john as were girl durban oregon or 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 that i'll never forget into a moment when a 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 and he was very very. i would say rude and a he said to me and shaking his fist in my face said nobody stands up to months
6:46 pm
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.
