faster and cost less. they failed and they failed because of the lobbying efforts the highly successful and very sophisticated lobbying efforts of those who benefit from the status quo in u.s. food aid programs from the american taxpayers' money only forty percent goes for the purchase of food aid for the starving people in africa the remaining sixty percent goes to the shipping companies. that haven't yet. yet it was yet that. was very you haven't heard.

that. i don't like depending on others with the way. that much and all of them on the but our land doesn't produce anything and to prise us a soda. out of a did a month ago we sowed some wheat but it was aired in the sun on holiday. i missed. that one and we appreciate that as a countries take care of us. and the government of kenya. knows that the drought causes problems but it ignores us. we could sustain ourselves and the government could build a water tank. and an air a geisha system to water as fields. but.

there is one we have people who like to work. it's emitted. rather than receiving food for which we have not worked yet. it is a good work but we don't like to be idle. they could help us by giving us work. imo because for example we have no fields as a mother the mother going out when we proposed to our government to construct a good water supply lines for our crops it's like talking to defeat is if we have appealed to the government many times. the government of kenya has utterly abandoned this district there are no roads

water or electricity the state of kenya has built absolutely nothing. so it is true that part of the country. has been on continuous famine relief because that is literally true development. because all buckwild we are bad we have some deep sea to you know eighty ninety percent of the people not going out to the night so it is a mental challenge for the country. the hoping that with a new constitution would up with will develop those who can the mother of my generation the people and the side of the country. it is obvious that the government of kenya prefers to ask for help from abroad in order to feed the starving turkana instead of doing infrastructure and development work in the area. millions of kenyan from us producing green.

must it becomes difficult for once the scheme of ten percent to go moving from village to village asking that i need ten percent of the grain for myself but if it's food aid you can put the tonnes of the same into becomes easier for you to skim off from that the food if it's not about food aid it could be about import food importation so it becomes easier to make more money in putting food. at the expense of the cause of the starving people as opposed to having kids producing more food for themselves. however before nine hundred eighty kenya not only produced but also exported products. the government had goodies that caused guaranteed minimum

returns g.m. are weak means that. if you. invest in one because. and they needed it's not enough to recover you a cost the government to top up so that you don't go at a loss because if you good if you go at a loss you will not. plan to the next and the country would stuff and that's why in the one thousand and sixty is the name hundred seventy s. and there was among the who was net food exporting countries. despite all this kenya was immersed in debt which couldn't be paid without international help. it's just a clear lustration no a country that east coast by global forces to surrender policy

making that ought to be of strategic importance to its own citizens who i was kinda sorta enjoying because they need aid from the world bank because they need aid from the i mean they were told if you don't change you don't get money from us. so everything including education health communication transportation energy and water follows the free markets rules. agriculture was no exception governmental support was withdrawn and farmers were now on their own. asked us back sure that just meant the subsidies that were going into fertilizer into seeds and the entire cultural extension services were removed and this is

a cinch and services now have to be paid and because people do not have money to be the never consulted extension workers so the food production just slumped and as we're talking now it is a basket case we are a net food imported country. so what happens you don't have enough to feed the people so you have do able to import and if you don't have enough money to import you get food aid. behind nairobi skyscrapers and the shadows of the kenyan capital's luxuries lies kibera.

it is one of africa's largest slums. approximately three hundred thousand people try to survive here. many of them are immigrants from rural regions who came to this city to escape hunger. i was a farmer but i didn't always has a crop. i needed money to feed the cows but i had none. when i had a good crop i needed money again. to pay the workers to plow the fields i couldn't live like this it was all too much for one person i couldn't cope lizzie expenses. cheery it is better because

someone may pity and help here. without a welfare system the citizens of canberra must pay for everything even public toilets since houses don't have these luxuries. the average commuter is to roughly two dollars that is a must. and you have to pay for your room you have to buy a water you have to pay for the toilet to go to you have to pay for transit to have two. hundred square feet you have to buy food you have to buy food with the food yes. there's no legal issue it's free markets. we have somebody people can't afford to be really food because the burden. by everything to each. war.

for decades now the world food programme organisation has been providing food to the pupils in canberra schools. at this school three hundred children receive aid. some of these children sometimes it's the only mean that they did that they get so they get a school move so they have bad flu to meet and in addition it provides an incentive for children to come to school. i don't lose jim good to maybe i could just grow up faster. and maybe help my fund. it is the terrorists me is it's my mum moved dad would come at

school kids would do over to do the street hungry but with. the food the two each year to feel much more than who eats i'd like to bring so much. hope assume. you maybe you have been given some fluids in that i'm. just. i just got to play on that but i wanted someone know that i was on the other worlds existing almost made didn't i didn't go to china how about just keeping. them so that even then they may just see that you fancy stuff love love you she's being full of has jumped ship is a good one. was. that it. was.

old. technology innovation all billy's developments from around russia we've got the future covered. modern russia was built on coal. fields for its factories. coke for its steel to mark gold is it well and heat for its people. join me james brown to meet them in to spend their lives underground and work in one of the world's most dangerous professions. for. wood loads you. hearts of coal on naughty. wealthy british style. time to rise from.

market. scandal find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to name two kinds of reports. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

food is so many things it's a life support it is asset did it is you it is an economy that is zero is above true of development it is saw many things and therefore as

long as you of food dependent as long as you do not aus sovereignty in the means and the infrastructure opened using and distributing food. then. you cannot claim to be so free and not claim to be independent sixty percent of. our beloved in africa you come to britain and and that tells you that only need is to then invest this pumps but again because of the dependency culture what we've seen is that the political elites are being silly and listen. to for us. we're not investing in farming just popped up us to take security element for the country.

if. the american company dominion among other things builds prisons in the united states in kenya it is rented seventeen thousand hectors and produces food like rice dish and bananas mostly for the capital's big supermarkets. this farm. is an investment when american mom called mr cullen by this and his family they had some money but they thought should be put towards helping him put security in africa so he came here in the two thousand and three and the least this farm for twenty five vs and number twenty five vs the renewable.

was about what you would like for the american investor introduced himself through the church claiming that he wanted to help eradicate poverty by offering new jobs and food. and i. think you are bussy the new dominion came here through the church. because it couldn't get in contact with us it used the priests. to you it promised to give us work so that no one would be unemployed. there would be great changes it would build schools it would and it would give us part of its harvest look at that within the school but there would be food for everyone it was for us was the biggest joy.

so these multinational companies we thought big coming to transform alas and we really celebrated at the time tamils coming. this thing timed out to be something that was. one. of. the communities agreed the company would take the swamp and transform it into a fertile field while simultaneously undertaking projects for the public's benefit . drainage works began in a cement dam was built in order to control the river gelis flow for the irrigation of the water letting rice crops. but as the inhabitants claim this intervention caused floods. much he hates the water came during the day and goes inside our home.

the corn's one. and so they got completely ruined world and. the house started leaning. and so we demolished and rebuilt us and you. all when i walked my whole body was underwater i know only this spot stayed above the water level. then i'm a little carried away by the water and we just did what can you do with a cal which you can't feed because the water has covered it completely willing to

put as many animals drowned everything i had was taken by the water. which is killing people killing everything from people and. it has been visible who. we are not the course but what happens here is when when people start to think politically when the river floods they think we have opened the gates and sometimes they come to us when we are not doing we're not even using we're not even in growing rice so there's a season when people get me and say we have floods down there they don't understand that the source of the river was flooded so the river would be flooding here so then they think it was a problem to do with us we have nothing to do with it we were just doing our things .

i was cultivating inside here i was getting my vegetables from here i was getting my income in fact i was cultivating underselling yeah i had some sugar cans here some yams groups under so many things and even on ian's under the models i was selling those and maybe if not very bad i was an almost a getting one thousand a day. to manage my family and now i've got nothing. close to our own food no we can't have money to pay school fees for the children because of these not this you can't plan the clothes you planned here today what are comes and. those who are going to work here know.

that time was a rich man and that's why i left the looking for jobs and they will be to come here and create an employment for myself and have a decent life life. you could face up to twenty five bucks of ways in one day. i'm back when all is not lost you can hardly get a bag of maize sworn to mean noone has to get a bit back bays and yet now. more poor than we used to be because what we're experiencing now. as never before. give the communities one to use part of the this one this one is about six hundred thousand acres it does not belong to us we only have seventeen thousand take us why do we have communities always complaining about the person that was given to they

invest us yes why don't they also go on a drain of the other part that is flying back. with our government is sitting in the office as an arrow i think the american people help what they do is to their. grants coming from outside the nation all over every time they need food. but we have found my as well very very hard working so we are not being taken as human beings in fact i hate to say it is my tree are still in colonial days. and we have to strive to be just like us you know after the minerals. investment in the mineral resources so it's his mistress. these are productive

assets and therefore we have to run proud to be. in the next three years if the trend continues i think they can then community with. peers from. ford depending on. the nationals is non-treated sustainable for these countries. today is a joyous day in this community of the turkana region. the

people are harvesting their crops from the communal field. but their own hands they also build a smaller earth and dam. for this project to happen the world food program n.g.o.s and the government have to cooperate and all for the turkana food provided that they work on the projects. the dam may hold some of the rainwater and help the turkana gather water for the next drought. when our screens are again flooded by images of starting out for cans and the international community asks again for humanitarian aid then we will know that the drought is not the real culprit. in my view see drove us just an excuse that we use in order to you know

make the aid in the street appear to be fair to chile the horn of africa receives more rain than so did rabia than even the drought but you know tides the saudis their own money is pleading for food aid. to the problem really about funding now for it is no it's about drugs it's about how we have money both it's. so the tools to help with the effort compulsion. we need nor stop i guess delivering a few bugs of grain to the people we see is telling we need to start eating tell getting the global food system and how it's been truly makes individual africans in the rural villages end up having no food at all.

manufacturing consent or determining a foreign policy consensus who in washington in the halls of power in western capitals drive foreign policy decisions particularly when it comes to iran and israel and syria is american foreign policy in the country's own interest. real damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for the marker c. it's a step forward oligarchy carex it is toxic is a look

a lot like spray in vietnam it was a it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the agent on. this bills.
