over the ownership of the planet. where it says spies or loses a court battle to monsanto and as i said and just was talking to another lawyer that it could be the biggest win for us or for the people concerned about the most and time only tell and i'm sure that this ring court in for a five 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 going to end up with massive

lawsuits which can break the company. i was just been talking with nathan busch the wonderful until 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 could encourage and encourage bent but he said what now has to happen is that six months had a could farmers could break monsanto. hey if every farmer would phone up once hand and say i think there's some of your g.m.o. canola or soy beans have my people come and get it we don't want it here or i've i we think some of your g.m.o. seeds have controllers to our being very mice he'd 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 had to couldn't they couldn't do it. or. 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 bad two or gene or a cell that doesn't give you a pattern 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 in the hope that we would succeed but i don't think it ends the war the war is 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 i hope their advice to do so. but i want to ask you a question has been reported by our national broadcaster this morning that the supreme court ruled that you deliberately. supplanted it jeanette. 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 about 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 looses rights who's used to seed from year to year and that was the basis we fought that for the rights of bombers it is. one. thing.

one sadness patent on that gene is valid and where ever that you know rise by whatever means in any higher life form they all will and control that light form and when i used the term higher life form i don't only mean siege or plant it's bird species animal even a human being so now we have more questions than we have ads or is it canada in regards who owns like. if you. really believe it. 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 of roundup 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 and 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 i knew what the terms of settlement work 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 end 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 pretty myself it was our children they what that did they would add to 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 didn't want to sign it because there's no we want to give it right away to a corporation. one thousand 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 remove the plant and we will send you the bill might sound to you mediately 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 want the land we pay that back to get your property off our land. first he hired a neighbor to remove the plants and sent the bill to months on to over a total amount of six hundred canadian dollars monsanto refused to pay and luis mizer 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 here tonight 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 avenue where you can take my cat and not only monsanto you could take by you sent gen dupont to court if you were contaminate contaminated because now a 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 want 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.

this week's top stories on our t.v. believe that a beleaguered measured arab nations for bad service work in fewer reports of a doubt surge in violence russia that could make things work. towards between iran and your new claim structures because you and we'd international tension tehran is considering stopping fuel supplies to the view within days as a response to sanctions. also the sour you are sounding corporate protests feel the full force of the law in oakland again with offices resorting to tear gas and flush grenades to disperse demonstrators and arrest him dread. to multinational proposals

to stop where piracy sparked mass protests in part and actually say their government is supporting internet censorship not copyright protection. hello and welcome to our season weekly review i'm you know sure of our thanks for joining us first the arab league's observer mission and see where our household did its work citing concern over a rise in violence with over one hundred killed in the last few days and clashes still underway russia has criticised the decision to end what is described as a useful initiative now he's someone that has the latest from damascus. the sense really from moscow that this decision to hold the mission was going to inflame an already very volatile situation and unfortunately as seems to be exactly what we've seen happening here now foreign minister sergei lavrov was speaking today on his

tour of the age of pacific countries and he said that he didn't understand why such a useful tool had been treated in this way we've seen the observer mission start and eventually grounds to hold they never really recovered after that decision last week for the gulf states when they withdrew their monitors now their decision they said was because they felt the mission had failed to hold the syrian government to its pledge to end the violence and it was a surprising decision that's how the foreign minister described it because at exactly the same time that the gulf states made that decision the decision would also be made to extend the mission so just out of very very crucial time with the situation in the country rather than making this mission stronger rather than trying to make it more effective if you have the goal states withdrawing them on it is now he said that that aroused questions we saw the meeting coming up on cheese day where the arab league aces very presenting. findings essentially briefing the

u.n. and most is maimed remains very very adamant that it's not going to back any plan that's going to leave the door open to foreign military intervention in fact again their response to western cool's now that has said that it's impossible to hold dialogue with the regime here the foreign minister called very irresponsible and indeed unforgivable as i think there's a real sense that this arab league with the want to put unity ready to piss you good resolution to dialogue and to try and calm is extremely volatile situation it's shocking really to see how much the situation is escalating day by day when a you've really seen this conflict creeping towards the capital people in damascus who weighed. up to the sound of gunfire fans i bet this arab league mission essentially has turned out to be a dance club and there's a little people here saying what was the point and having that manifest play if they were going to be made strengthened if they were going to try way too as was

style and always essentially were going to lead to un action anyway. and steve in london believe that coincidence that the arab league for oh that question just as western powers because the foreign involvement well my goodness that sounds like a no fly zone and different language it was an open sesame to direct intervention meeting war the observers were sent into syria they picked the wrong man to lead the mission to sudanese generals. they thought the air man meant your eyes well with deliver the goods against the side believing him for everything going oh i'm cool what did general we do he said a star is cooperating it's exactly the opposite of what the last one you may want to prepare to step up whatever they have in mind which is some kind of. the best

solution is the way of syria's civil it's all going to see and hear is a legitimate opposition in syria syria is that authority here you see a reporter in the one they've got a young group or did we get to go get a national poll that apparently go some credibility so that the i'm going giorgio syrians. for america and britain and the arab league and there's to get to the end in syria years and three years and to have an arrogant resolution saying and all that i would do would be happy in two weeks well assad absolutely should in diplomatic way which told these people to go. and also coming up with unrest in egypt coming up next hour here on states uprising it's back to square as hundreds of thousands of rally against the absolute power of the ruling military and its reluctance to step down. while u.n. nuclear inspectors have started at three day mission to examine iran's atomic

activities tehran says the talks with the international atomic energy agency the fast in more than three years it will prove its nuclear program with putin peaceful the i.a.e.a. visit comes as tensions between iran and the west tony a crisis level on monday you nations adopted a precedent that set of functions again begun a republic they include a complete in august on all supplies from iran and are expected to come into force and train like director of the center for research on globalization michel chossudovsky that we are witnessing now what we're witnessing now is part of a big u.s. plan for war against iran. i think what we are witnessing here is is a build up also a bill that. calls for. these sanctions. goes to you in some regards the staging of of of a military agenda and i should mention. that we have a massive deployment of u.s.

military hardware troops going into israel to be stationed in israel troops going to call rates. you know naval forces in goals in the arabian sea. that in other words i think what we're going to states what. it would be is our allies is not going to look really like which will give you with the wolf we are. keeping a close eye on the iranian oil and nuclear is sagal on air and online as well so head to our website and to talk calls them more analysis and updates on the latest developments and right there we ask or to saying tehran's talks with the u.n. inspectors will bring and so far the majority sixty three percent think the u.s. is heading for war with iran regardless nineteen percent of you don't see any way out thinking iran won't give up its nuclear program so ten percent of the u.n. inspectors will find that to iran is telling the truth and the minority just five

percent perceive the visit as a new step towards a solution of the crisis and what do you think you had to r.t. dot com to cast your vote. a u.s. by movement has once again turned violent in oakland california police fired tear gas on some two thousand demonstrators several hundred were arrested as they attempted to occupy a vacant convention center before storming into city hall altie is really important i heard it. 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 crosley

twenty two thousand people strong ultimately what the goal was for this demonstration is for protesters to take over and empty 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 at the occupy atlanta 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 came to occupy an optimist but as guys you 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 optimus. flounders from the international action center tells all seem despite the increasing violence done to read the future of the occupy movement is still very bright. it's very much achieving its goals in terms of waking up the youth in the us waking up working people in the us to the reality the reality that poor and working people are losing more and more and that one percent actually one thousands of one percent is gaining

a norm of new wealth so that there are very successful in drawing attention to that despite a shutdown by the media and by the police and that movement is very determined to continue and to find new tactics. you know watching our see and we've got much more all coming up for you later in the program but for election education groups russia will take a look at how politicians are making a push for power on the internet. that's later the first president obama vowed to reform tax and fight poverty while hailing america's military during his annual state of the union speech earlier this week so much of the focus of this year's address was dedicated to the country struggling economy and the pressing problem of inequality bordered by the occupy movement about also praised on the advances brought on the assassination of osama bin laden and the speeches are

regarded as a pre-election a chance for obama to sell his campaign to the public and professor paul sheldon food from california state university believes that dress clearly demonstrates that policy priorities chosen by those administration. are used that you are code for. we're going to have an enduring relationship. which means we're going to have bases. there for all that they want to serve. likewise he said we jail gadhafi syria's next day and if iran doesn't behave there the after that so. it is totally contradictory to say that he's going to be able to pay down the american debt in the extreme and government spending programs domestically was savings from bringing in soldiers older mors what in fact he has plans to expand what he didn't mention cited by day me also said that we have a pacific strategy and the world will know that we are number one.

and that was a thinly veiled threat against china even i mean how insane can you be china's holding more than a trillion dollars of our debt we've got tens of thousands of factories there we're highly coordinated doing depended on them though and he's threatening them to. admit to having and we compiled and which the father of the people protesting against the anti web piracy pot that country fined up to along with twenty one other european states actually didn't say the multinational deal which still needs to be ratified by the here again part of it allows funds to first survey internet and it figure chef chemical. at first thousands across poland directed their anger squarely at the notorious anti counterfeit trade agreement the idea of punishing the site for publishing the. material is 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 to six government under fire for signing the agreement on thursday most governmental websites were hijacked by the anonymous hacker group i think they are trying to maximize us with. the promise is that there would be a sudden closer touch to the documents. so that we have. the right for our own interpretation of the can but that's not possible knows a lot from our government technically actors 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. not. groups and in some countries it needs to be ratified by parliament but not 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 pride is active protests in . war so we're 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 drawing to one other issue member states along with poland signed an

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. now and that's good just to mention it's the microblogging twitter is not fly by the i phones ships kind of it's the good nor none of has been our website amanpour dot com including one suggestion that could really put ultimately on a government. and clear to some that make it very clear that their users your government is censoring you and i think that will be a huge step in pressuring both people to share the stuff that was censored but also pressuring governments to change their policies so i wish the whole conversation were the internet liberty campaign are a short time after dot com and all sound like either. the internet's most famous whistleblower is getting ready to reveal even more on t.v.

green chile and sanjay is launching his own talk show an hour see all the details on our website. it is interim leadership came under fire from the u.n. this week over a failure to stop the torture of thousands of prisoners to international organizations. sent mid-song sound frontiers and honesty international say detainees have been tortured and killed in recent months and they also point to widespread abuse of all what gadhafi supporters and those archies maria fanaa reports hopes are fading that the nato balance government can actually offer a new beginning. doctors without borders nodes are going do their job in the most dangerous and notorious places around the globe butt.
