serious crisis to tops the agenda as president putin hosts british prime minister cameron but the two leaders seeking to come out agreement approach to get in place from talks. meanwhile washington reaffirms its reluctance to back syria's really radicalized rebels any further on to russia and the u.s. agreed to set up an international conference to bring about an end to the escalating conflict. and a blogger's so democracy has done places for saturday's historic general election amid a wave of brutal attacks and kidnappings by the taliban. a

warm welcome to you if you've just joined us here it's nine am here in moscow you're watching us live with me to say working out a common approach shoe mediating peace in syria is expected to dominate the discussion one present. british prime minister david cameron late on friday the meeting comes after moscow and washington patched up some of their differences on the crisis and called for an international conference on syria artie's alexia cesky has more. the russian city of sochi which will host the twenty fourteen winter olympic games that's where the russian president will be holding most of his international meetings in the coming months he is meeting the british prime minister david cameron literally seventy two hours after the argument put in had talks with the u.s. basically john kerry in moscow obviously the talks in moscow were mostly focused on the syrian conflict and we're expecting the same story here the conversation moscow

resulted in an international conference which the sides decided to call on by the end of this month the conference will attempt to put both members of the syrian opposition and the syrian government at the same negotiation table in an attempt to find a peaceful solution to the matter russia has been accusing the west of taking one side in the conflict that is the side of the syrian rebels in particular russia has been criticizing the west for the calls to arm the syrian rebels to provide them with military training for months russia has been that the west has been calling on assad to step down at the same time russia has been insisting that the transition of power in syria must happen only at the will of the syrian people they must be the ones to select their new government the talks in moscow have already prompted a statement from david cameron who said there's an urgent need to provide a peaceful transition of power and that's why he will be meeting president putin it

is interesting to see whether these sentiments the same sentiments will be coming from david cameron after he meets the russian president in sochi obviously we're in for a long day and we'll be bringing all the latest details and our best to our viewers as we get it here in the russian city of sochi. the u.k. continues insists the syrian regime may have recently used chemical weapons to despond a top u.n. war crimes investigator saying there is reason to believe such arms where in fact by the rebels and despite his official commitment to peace through diplomacy britain is stepping up efforts to start directly arming the syrian opposition sara for its reports. well the prime minister said ten piece in the house of commons recently that there's a growing body of limited but persuasive evidence that the syrian regime has used and continues to use chemical weapons now the u.n. war crimes investigators have said that as yet they've reached any conclusions as to whether either side has indeed use chemical weapons now the one day talk is

taking place at a time when there is growing calls for some form of diplomatic progress to be made in place sites are going to be very much focused on not the prime minister's spokesman saying the u.k. considers russia an important player when it comes to these discussions despite this russian the u.k. has certainly had a fractious past when it comes to the topic of syria both the prime minister david cameron and foreign minister william hague have come out with some extremely strong rhetoric in the past blasting russia for not having supported a cool for u.n. intervention in the country now the one they talk to say coming at a time when the u.k. it's been seen to try to step up efforts to bring an end to the e.u. arms embargo that would then allow the supply of weapons to the forces a face to the syrian regime a lot of concern from some here in the country and indeed internationally as to who

exactly would constitute the legitimate opposition given that the same much concern surrounding the other elements inside the country that are also confusing the extremely fractured picture that we're seeing playing out as the syrian conflict continues nonetheless the two sides are going to be pushing ahead with these talks whether or not they'll be able to put that fractious past behind them and come to something cream and remains to be seeing but the u.k. prime minister's restated his commitment to trying to find some form of diplomatic progress moving forward with russia and the u.s. having recently agreed to unite their friends towards mediating peace in syria which is on press to can reconsider its support for the rebels according to r.t. contributor after a time. it's especially outrageous of the british prime minister just dismissed call upon the u.n. commission into who is using chemical weapons and when in the syrian conflict and

at the same time the very rebels that are being sent to the so-called normally full force and equipment and materiel they're defecting to al nusra according to a report in the british papers if britain been exporting things like the global's to the syrian rebels and they used them in a sarin gas attack as for indicated by calling up all these un report does that mean britain has been backing chemical weapons in the middle east the fact that david cameron can do this shows him completely out of step after all it was him trying to lift the arms embargo for the rebels and never countenanced at any point the idea of a talks process of a kind of process that was aside from all the fighting and killing and slaughter and get john kerry and putin seems to have come to an agreement that yes of course they have to talk instead of all this killing the u.s.

defense secretary says the old order in the middle east is just appearing although it's still not clear what will replace it chuck hagel stressed the conflict in syria is becoming increasingly more sectarian and extremist the country's collapse now more real than ever but also he was lawmakers of make a fresh calls for military intervention washington is now taking a backseat as then he can explains. after the administration all but accused the assad government of having used chemical weapons vice president joe biden now says quote we don't know for certain whether they were used by some of the opposition including the radicals who have aligned themselves with al qaeda this is probably the first time we hear someone in the administration talk about the possibility that the rebels may have used chemical weapons just a few days ago the white house press secretary was responding to the findings of the u.n. human rights investigation which said serry nerve gas may have been used by the rebels in syria and he basically brushed off the report saying it's quote highly

likely that i'll start forces were behind it that has also been the narrative perpetuated in the media last week chuck hagel said the administration is considering arming the opposition also this week of the failed was introduced in the senate that would authorize exactly that chuck hagel delivered a speech at the this conference in washington where several commanders of the free syrian army were also invited in that speech he does not mention armies the rebels he said that turkey jerry kerry and russian foreign minister lavrov announced they will seek to convene an international conference with representatives of the syrian government and the opposition to determine how to implement a political transition in syria. using a four range of tools the united states will continue to work toward achieving our goal of ending the violence and helping the syrian people transition to a post to sort of thore so we see there is a build up of hope for this conference which will presumably take place sometime at

the end of may both washington and moscow says they're working on it but as far as the syrian opposition so far they have not clearly come out in favor of a political solution also it's not clear how the idea of a political solution something that washington says it wants to achieve can coexist with the idea of flooding the conflict with more weapons because when you give them orms the message is go fight the messages not stop fighting so it seems that all i mean the rebels are the core message of this geneva communique and both washington and moscow say they want this upcoming conference to be based on that geneva communique and that message is basically stop fighting and find a political solution across the border in lebanon the head of hezbollah says they are ready to receive shipments of advanced weapons from the syrian leadership is a one comes just days after israeli airstrikes targeted suspected arms depots near the syrian capital and while border tension rise the syrian opposition is being increasingly radicalized as our middle east correspondent policy of reports. the

united nations says that its peacekeeping forces are continuing to monitor the situation of israeli and syrian forces along the israel syrian border but they have said that they've moved some of the units to new positions because of the precarious security situation twice in the last three months un forces have been kidnapped from the very same position according to the martyrs brigade which is the group that detained for filipino u.n. peacekeepers earlier this week they have been released we're being told that the united nations negotiated a safe passage with the syrian army forces in the area meanwhile we all received reports that the free syrian army which is the main opposition to the syrian president bashar assad is using find who's as well as capabilities to islamize indices inside syria in some cases recruited me entire units of the f.s.a. have defected and they've moved to jump. which is and those numbers organization

with links to al qaida what we've been told is that the main reasons for the defections are better conditions ammunitions and weapons but it certainly does present a dynamic for the united states britain and other governments who provide that support to the syrian rebels and also considered arming them with weapons the entire situation is of course also of great concern to israel which is just next door this is why many on these talks between russia and britain to see what they will yield policy on t.v. tel aviv. coming up a big brother equipment is in the high demand following the boston terror attack the u.s. cities are plaguing more cameras but it's not proves the other kids worry that the surveillance footage will only trump the lives of those that aims to protect plots . and my budget gets god time and time again soon i'll get nothing. and i will pull the baby aspirin to go back to words as unemployment heads. a new

high in portugal scores of people are seeking refuge from economic turbulence by hitting a broad bring you the details and it's you know. the civilized world produces more food than it needs. well people die of hunger in other countries. millions of victims every. where immediately is the most trace. flood or droughts to blame. it was a bad year without a train and we couldn't find anything to. do with it all but there was great hunger. it was

a good help comes too late and with good intentions. charity diplomacy and business to. welcome back you're watching r t pakistan's main political parties have held the final rallies grateful saturday's poll and the country's frozen transition from one democratically elected government to another it's a major step for pakistan's democracy but one which has been mobbed by violence across a volatile state as a half mile for reports. week after week these are the images the world has seen

coming out of pakistan victims of a brutal wave of violence bomb blasts rippling across the country this is supposed to be a time of triumph for a country that's gearing up for its first ever democratic transition from one elected government to another but recent bomb and gun attacks by militants against religious minorities and secular politicians have called the country's stability into question and sown fear among pakistani voters. everyone is scared of bombs and nobody feels safe so very few people go and vote because they're scared and who will be the winner. the pakistani taliban has vowed to target the country secular parties and they've made good on that threat the national party or the m.p. has borne the brunt of the attacks forced to campaign in the shadows. we can't campaign we can't arrange meetings all parties are doing rallies with millions of people which we can only do them with two hundred men and even when we do that

terrorists still target us but islam is parties have been targeted to this is the aftermath of an attack against a political party seen as being sympathetic to the taliban but the latter have condemned to democracy as a whole meaning any political party taking part in the elections could be considered fair game by the militant group more than six hundred thousand security personnel including fifty thousand soldiers have been deployed during the election to guard against attacks but that's not exactly a comforting sight for a country that's been ruled by the military for almost half its life as an independent state the violence isn't just political in a country where the majority faith is islam religious minorities have accused the mainstream political parties of not doing enough to protect them against attacks that could hurt the ruling party in the polls seem to. spark the iron. good security. but the issues that may shape the outcome of the

vote are more clear cut pakistan's economy has been battered by three years of successive floods which severely damaged agricultural heartlands power cuts are endemic with some rural areas getting only four hours of electricity per day clean water and food education and health care remain out of reach for many pakistanis crime and unemployment are huge issues in the cities all the main parties have vowed to tackle these bread and butter issues but few have outlined exactly how leaving voters skeptical of debilitation started its elections aren't politicians make promises to get votes. and then they forget everything about nearly five thousand candidates are running for pakistan's lower house of parliament and more than ten thousand hopefuls are angling for seats in pakistan's four provincial assemblies when it comes to the job of prime minister polls indicate that it's a showdown between former cricket legend imran khan and former prime minister nawaz

sharif the latter seems to be heading to victory but khan has ridden a wave of popularity among younger voters with his promise to clamp down on corruption it's a take race that's been overshadowed by violence a landmark election that has so far proven to be the bloodiest in the country's history the attacks are a stark reminder that politics and pakistan is a dangerous game propping up a deadly democracy and of islam a body. from the pakistani center for research and security studies us says that whatever outcome of the violence will not end. we wanted to. have already accepted the fact that the moment you have to start living a virus of our own to reduce the rate of i was a little i used to get even in the lower part of town for. the most important out. there early part of me along. and make long term man.

work and then why didn't. the data coming from if i live on parker farm is the only reason i wouldn't grant you the mother of all the members and fathers i'm going to have openly stated. you have against the whole. process of elections. for democracy and to be sure that not many of the books it was hard to make were are yet again in the process well politics of it and order from the one who pulled their own world off of. democracy on line. on our website we're rolling out the big guns in the school spring sunshine in our tea dot com you can watch the victory day parade and fireworks which marks sixty a.t.'s seems a victory for the nazis we've also got a moving wartime greek elections from the veterans themselves. and

what is this but some do you when american soldier accidentally triggers his parachute and has pulled out some of the planes see the dramatic footage online. the boston terror bombings reinvigorated debate over the role of public surveillance in the u.s. new york and other major cities have in recent years expanded the number of cameras using homeland security department grants the multi-billion dollar security industry is growing at up to eight percent a year the question is who's keeping watch on what big brother is up to me when i put my. investigates the video surveillance market in the u.s. has been permanently expanding from more than i decade and here at the new york city a s i s exhibition and conference we are getting an up close look at some of the most latest and cutting edge surveillance technology that is being displayed by

many security professionals that technology of course includes facial recognition iris scanning high definition close circuit cameras and other software that was once only seen in side by move now some would say it's appropriate for the site but to be taking place in new york city because after all it was the mayor of the big apple that recently said he wanted to expand the amount of surveillance cameras that were on route the city of course those comments came in the aftermath of the boston terrorist attack and the mayor of new york is just one of many officials throughout i did state that are only for surveillance we spoke with some professionals that are here displaying their surveillance technology they say they have already seen a peak in holes and increase and of course that can equate to a peak in sales i hate to say it but often has been ringing off the hook since the tragedy and you know it's it's an unfortunate thing but people are starting to

think now how this should have been thinking all along you know to be able to provide a safe environment you have to think ahead is there going to be more surveillance cameras deployed and the answer to that is yes because lessons learned have shown us that if you have a bench recording. you can go back and find information that might not have been pertinent while you thought you were filming it but all the sudden if an event happens you need all the information you can get the experts estimated that this industry would reach revenues of more than twenty billion dollars fight twenty sixteen but now those numbers are being recalculated to be projected even higher. because of the terrorist attacks that took place in boston as government spending on video surveillance is expected to search and should between law enforcement officials and privacy advocates is also expected to reach its critics say that the american public has been forced to see privacy and civil liberties in the name of

national security but the payoff hasn't been big after all america's spy cams failed to prevent the boston terrorist attacks and even when the f.b.i. finally revealed images of the suspects they needed the public's help to identify according to new york for enough or not r.t. . now a man who knows all about the absence of privacy is the editor at large all of esquire a.j. jacobs he filmed almost a yell of his life with a camera attached to his ear and says massive ala's is coming big time here's what he had to say in an interview which you'll see later here on r.t. . i think the problem i actually think you know big brother is a little bit of a problem but i think a little brother is going to be more of a problem by that i mean other people will be videotaping you all the time so you do something embarrassing someone else is going to be videotaped and put on you too

and we'll be humiliated you know you won't be able to slip on the banana peel you know anymore without it going on the route on you tube this is what we're going to be doing we're all of our lives are going to be on the record so we're all going to be like politicians whatever we say will be recorded. the world news up for you now and there's been a leak at the international space station nasa says says is leaking chilled ammonia cullender which is used on its policy in orbit the agency's. there's no danger to the crew but the league might require a shutdown of the affected cooling loop within twenty four hours the crew are now working on rerouting the affected past the stream so that everything runs normally . but palestinians are accusing israel of trying to jeopardize attempts to restart peace talks and that after the country approved construction of almost

three hundred new homes in the occupied west bank the move could undermine washington which is now at pains are to force both sides to the negotiating table israeli settlements are considered illegal under international law with the palestinians insisting a building freeze or before any resumption of talks. over a thousand people are now confirmed dead in the bangladesh garment factory collapse disaster there's still no official estimate of the number of those who remain missing from the tragedy which happened on the outskirts of dakar two weeks ago the factories owners are said to have ignored a safety regulations after cracks in the building structure were found it's the world's deadliest industrial disaster since the one nine hundred eighty four bhopal toxic explosion. portugal's unemployment level has heads a claim for eighteen percent with close to half of young people now are out of work

and while the figure threatens to go even further scores of people are jumping ship for jobs and a decent life living outside their countries and their away from the better dead now peter oliver has more and have met to some of those wanted to be. leaving home in search of a better future it's not wanting to or outside portugal it's needing to work outside portugal victor is a journalist he's heading off to angola to work for a magazine because there just isn't work in portugal that allows him to support his family he says this is a problem that affects all portuguese society you have. people working in construction ok so with with low education. then you have the middle class upper class. journalists financial director. commercial direct. advertising agencies portugal is in the midst of an unemployment

epidemic around twenty percent of the population are out of work and those with jobs off they sing salary cuts with many families trying to live on under five hundred euro a month as more and more portuguese people look to make a new life for themselves abroad just how easy is it to make that dream become a reality this is where ricardo comes in he often rates a website telling people what to expect when they decide to make the move. of marketing. it's not for everybody i saw a lot of people decide that they would move to somewhere like brazil only for it not to work out i tell them what to expect and how to make the right choice also there are so many scams out there people saying that they will help you get a work visa disappear right after they get your cash he's emigrating himself at the

end of the year but he worries about the country he's leaving behind. you were facing a serious brain drain in portugal oakum three educates people but can't employ people so well left with a green population. graying population are all too aware of where the current situation will leave them cheryl time you start my pension gets cut time and time again soon i'll get nothing. and waiting for the day they asked me to go back to work. for young people like a nation yeah the decision is clear they are off to presume for a new life in a country they say can give them what portugal just can't ask them. i think we don't want to be reach on to move in for the money we're moving so that one day we can earn enough to start a family leave nama lines here if you can get

a job it's on slave wages perhaps three years that's not leaving. peter all of a. portugal you're watching r.t. . you know i've been asked a few times if i believe in conspiracy theories which is kind of an odd question i mean just in general believe in conspiracy theories like all of them even the ones that contradict each other i mean j.f.k. could have been killed by the mob the cia the k.g.b. and various secret societies at the same time or could he have been know what you just declare themselves the official conspiracy theories that silly obviously it is good just go around fishing for evil plots to explain every situation the mainstream media sure does lie a lot but i think they're telling the truth about that whole sky being blue thing

but on the other hand if you never question what the glowing box in your house tells you that just makes you a sucker the kind of sucker who bought that there were magical mysterious invisible weapons of mass destruction in iraq and you know what in all honesty there's actually been real evil conspiracies that have been exposed like the tuskegee experiment and the fascist coup attempt against president roosevelt the one nine hundred thirty s. over all people think it spears the theories are a matter of belief but actually they're completely a matter of facts and there's a lot of good evidence to support a conspiracy and good arguments that maybe you should consider it but if someone tells you the president is actually a rip tilling from the cosmos you might want to just stay away from that one but that's just my opinion.

in july two thousand and eleven the horn of africa was struck by a wave of famine and. again our screens were flooded with images of them a seed of africans. over

thirteen million people in somalia kenya ethiopia eritrea and djibouti are once again threatened by famine and. the un approaches the international community for immediate food aid.

and. you know the way the animals are children from the most horrific that we've seen in years. we grew up learning about africa as hunger problems. that the african people always suffer from hunger and the so-called developed world

always sends food. is there perhaps something wrong with the food aid mechanism. if you're looking at all this money that has been pumped into the fifty's and you're still starving. then it means that something's not right incomes of the interest of those will put you to be assisting kenya or any other african country to improve to food security one of the hate public. will be public. and you can see it even to be many ways because it becomes almost like. a business. to do what. it given once you put together speaking we're looking at a very wealthy continent which has been now sustained into public teat just before

the aid in the street and and that's why we need to put two and. these approach of relying on a as i would you know changing the predicament. the african people. to. yeah. perhaps. northern kenya was one of the regions affected during this recent famine

wave. the land is arid and barren. that was. how i know i. am carried here that was written i am the turkana are this region's inhabitants one of kenya's most traditional tribes that were never. gotten my. dad it that was. their nomadic pastoralists for centuries they have learned to survive on this harsh land depending on the rain periods. i. have never yet.

i. but in recent years the ongoing droughts threaten their very existence. i give that yeah. i guess in northern kenya we had a year with basically no rain and tools to come in a region as seen. successive droughts of the past few years and what we're seeing is the stress of getting more and more frequent so the rain is becoming less less common. the traps left many of the enemy was very very weak so people didn't have that didn't have the usual income. of. money attrition levels really short are. not what the global acute malnutrition bricked is fifteen percent in some areas of true country it was up to fifty percent that is more than double.

the. yard work i had to go to. i mean to go to not five and they all died. even then we couldn't eat them. your little boy in my small field was of no help the seeds died before they could sprout. a year young it was a bad year without trained we couldn't plant anything. there was great hunger. even in the wild fruit became rare. a rule when my sister died last year during the long drought that. she was old

and as there was no food. no she died and i came to take care of her children. there was no food or water because it was too dry and a lot of the. animal immediately there. you probably know how bad it was last year on the way most animals died. you get this is a man's tomb and the other two are womens. they

died of hunger. there was no food and the government didn't help. if hope would come sooner would these people have been saved a year there all day i guess they would be alive and these tombs wouldn't exist you've gone. up she was complaining that she was hungry and thirsty. arguably. all of the above with it she couldn't sustain herself there weren't enough but everybody knows we need food and water to live. included in. how long after her death did the food arrive. after five months.

it is chilling to say the least to hear that the two thousand and one drought had been predicted and that lives could have been saved if the system functioned differently the drug does not happen just like switching on and off of electricity . drugs is something that comes with being a period of time. after ethiopia's famine in one thousand nine hundred fourteen one thousand nine hundred five which left one million victims the us created

a forecast system for dangerous droughts in order to avoid similar tragedies in the future. in two thousand and ten this system had already warned of things to come. yeah we saw it coming and we've been warning for months before you know people were paying attention death sometimes to a problem you know the problem often with the world attention is that sometimes. people only play pay attention if you see the dying children. but i will warning systems nowadays our knowledge is so sophisticated that we know months in advance

we've been warning about this since to four before the crisis happened and because we could see that the rains weren't good enough. but people were left to starve. they had to die before the international community was mobilized.

do we speak your language any time of the war not a day in. the music programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you breaking news a little turn it into angles couldn't stories. you hear. then try to alter the spanish find out more visit i don't.

the problem is that government spice national and international journalists and also the schmeiser entry and it's. always acts as quickly as they can. and it takes unfortunately it takes you know those pitches on t.v. screens to really mobilize public opinion and get governments and politicians interested in the crisis. when it becomes of more interest to the international media then you tend to get a very strong public response which is extremely helpful which pushes the

politicians into action because when the public has about it then the politicians know they need to to respond because. there is that public expects them to do something. unfortunately you know action could have been taken at the start of two thousand and eleven or earlier in the year. vick should really have stopped it becoming such a big crisis but unfortunately. far too often the action isn't taken until it's too late until people already suffering. it is not the first time that the turkana people receive help. international

organizations and then she goes have been visiting their area for the last fifteen years. and they always welcome them with joyous songs am. i am. ever. good. about my little no no no no your mother let me i'm not your mother no no no no. no they provide them with food

that accident the children and check them for signs of malnutrition. on the way that you come from i think from the tell of. how far is motel of. many hours away which means that i left for the sunrise. for decades turkana have been living in a constant state of hunger. they belong to one billion people around the world who have no. access to their daily nourishment while at the same time more food than ever is being produced on the planet.

contrary to crisis periods this chronic hunger phenomenon rarely reaches the evening news. nevertheless it is deadly. it kills over fifteen million people yearly three times more than those killed during the gear of the second world war. approximately six and a half million of them are children eighteen thousand die every day. so to fight hunger the international community decided to distribute food to those in need. however since its birth in one nine hundred fifty four and until today

food aid has never been a matter of sheer humanitarianism it's been a matter of economic and political correlations with the us playing the leading role. the simple reason everyone focuses on u.s. food aid policy is us accounts for more than half of all the world's food aid so as goes the united states so goes the global food aid regime you know the united states is providing fifty to sixty percent of the world's food aid any given year all of europe combined only provide fifteen to twenty percent of. the. we have given much to the impoverished peoples of europe. but as a counter measure against the attempt by the soviet union come you know if you're

up the american people sharpen the strategy for cooperating with the non communist countries in a comprehensive bipartisan european recovery program. after the success of the marshall plan which delivered tons of food to western europe. in one thousand nine hundred eighty four president eisenhower signed the famous public law for eighty whatever. the new laws purpose was to distribute the u.s. agricultural surpluses serving at the same time as a tool for economic and foreign policy which would help promote the country's interests. according to the president's own words the new law lays the basis for expanding our exports of agricultural products with lasting benefits to ourselves and peoples of other lands. oh and the

pope and the deleterious our football. team going to break the bonds of their very we play our best effort to help them help them. all at her period is required not because i mean it may be doing it not because we think they're both but we are getting it right in one thousand nine hundred eighty one president kennedy acknowledged public love for eighty as being a fundamental importance to the united states and renamed it food for peace. so the primary objective of food aid policy was surplus disposal but it had a secondary objectives the hope that it would also build future export markets for u.s. agricultural commodities and that it could achieve humanitarian objectives associated with reducing hunger and under-nutrition and that it could perhaps with some our allies abroad. with the same law kennedy founded usaid

the u.s. organization responsible for international development which would administer civilian foreign aid. is. the u.s. government for spreading many cunning flurried policy through human and charity systems. during the cold war large quantities of food were sent to countries of strategic importance to the united states like india indonesia and pakistan. likewise large cargoes were sent to eastern asia during the korean and vietnam wars. during the seventy's a large bulk of food aid went to the middle east. during the ninety's after the

fall of the berlin wall today it was directed to countries the former eastern bloc the same pattern was repeated in afghanistan and iraq during the war on terror. if you are took aboard diplomacy it's a very subtle way of pushing a message of agenda. to another country you know because if you if you've seen even in the i'm more circus training elephants to their training than chip and since they use food in there if you don't train much upon such a dance like a human being you keep rewarding it with a little biscuit or something so next day and vindictive you jump up american people saying jump up you jump up see what i mean.

from very early on africa became the focus of attention as the u.s. and soviet union were trying to gain zones of influence countries like somalia ethiopia and kenya received help. there's a little peace is good as it would be easy to prove to them or the police does that mean that the united states is doing business to actually be providing aid to this ng to the. no politics behind going in there we're trying to do things in a way that most effectively to save lives so i don't think that criticism really holds true.

i'm honored to work for this organization i think we do fabulous workers who are partners in the united nations and it's really inspiring. when there's bugger lives we've done a number can plug a need to from the american people. if they're the first thing is this the appreciation of the american people because if somebody helps you then you have to appreciate the. country that assists your people in this tough thing they approach you to bring in that invests. you see the be very much willing to tell them good them come and if you're not just doing the the plumbing in the hall in last year. the chinese to study what their wisdom comes with doing the chinese also for the first time brought them food aid complete with trucks there was almost

as much as that wait a minute this food aid thing is not just the tusk another soaked up torch in terms of winning all over the country to dominate over there to push their value such across the globe. apart from helping foreign policy food aid also had other benefits and help with internal affairs namely the large american agribusiness and shipping companies. but there are other important beneficiaries lurking in the shadows one are agribusinesses and i emphasize agribusinesses rather than for. farmers because very little food aid is sold by farmers directly that sold by large firms the great hidden beneficiary for u.s. food aid and this is distinct from any other food aid program in the world are the

shippers. built coal. fields for its factories. cocoa for its steel. gold is it more than heat for its people. join me james brown to me to spend their lives underground and work in one of the world's most dangerous professions. loads. of coal on altie.
