a global day of action against biotech giant monsanto they claim the corporation has established a seed monopoly from the u.s. to asia holding small farmers hostage to their product and forcing those who don't use it out of business the firm has also come under increased scrutiny the alleged health and environmental risks of its seed artes and to see reports. march against month santa was a global grassroots movement which is going to organize these worldwide protests taking place throughout the weekend all over the world we're talking about they're saying that this is going to span over six continents in up to fifty countries with four hundred global marches with as many as two hundred thousand participants in the united states alone all of these people planning to flood out onto the streets throughout the world to speak out against this biotech giant accused of producing genetic genetically engineered food and agriculture we're definitely expecting to

see plenty of occupy wall street activists at the monsanto protests throughout the weekend because many of the issues that are going to be addressed are certainly similar we're still talking about the ninety nine percent versus the one percent we're talking about corporations having great influence on politicians as well as wealth inequality that continues to remain in countries throughout the world in the united states but also when it comes to the situation with monsanto all of these issues continue to apply so while of the occupy wall street movement was certainly a more general outrage at the way the system runs this particular march and these events that are taking place throughout the weekend are directed at the specific perforation having a very controversial reputation they're known to harass farmers throughout the world to sue farmers for example in the united states and canada for tens of thousands of dollars you know affecting businesses and farmers in places like india really wiping off any legislation that ever comes up that would affect monsanto's

business and just getting in the way of people speaking out against what they see as wrong so certainly whereas the march against monsanto is against a specific corporation that continues to do these things that hundreds of thousands of people don't necessarily agree with the occupy wall street movement is certainly expected to be part of this. make a person a b. he's a social media director for march against monsanto claims in some parts of the world the corporate giants tactics or even leading famous to suicide if you look at what happened in india i mean there's an epidemic of suicides because the farmers because monsanto sold them are caught in a cotton seed that they promised would do a certain thing and then those seeds didn't perform how they were supposed to know and it drove a lot of these indian farmers into sheer poverty and they ended up committing suicide by the hundreds and thousands and even some sort of effect farming

communities everywhere i mean in the united states they're known for suing small farmers there's a lot of small farmers at the putting out of business because they have genetic migration into into crops that weren't supposed to be g.m.o. but they're going to cross-pollinate it and then monsanto comes in they use their government cronies to go in and shut down small farmers because. their genetics from their seeds that they did have have slowly crept into the into the genetics of non g.m.o. seeds as well amid accusations the monsanto corporation enjoys protection from the authorities a recent report showing the us government has been aggressively lobbying for g.m. food across the world are to american correspondent making like pass as this report . for years now americans have been concerned about the food in their refrigerators and more importantly the ingredients in those foods the debate over genetically modified crops isn't only playing out in the fields it's being harvested in the courtrooms as well as within the walls of capitol hill and it turns out the u.s.

government might have a bigger stake in the biotech industry than anyone could have imagined a report released by the food and water watch group shows that the u.s. state department played a major role in promoting g.m. foods and crops around the world the report examined diplomatic cables from two thousand and two thousand and nine provides the first comprehensive analysis of u.s. foreign policy when it comes to the biotech industry now here are the four stated goals that food and water watch discovered in these cables the first one is to promote biotech interests abroad they try to facilitate trade and encourage cultivation of g.m. crops second up lobby foreign governments to weaken biotech rules you can't after all profit off these countries if you can't get your products in so them along with lobbying the need to protect biotech exports by stopping trade barriers like tariffs all this to promote and protect an estimated twenty five billion dollar

industry and biotech crop exports and in particular one property monsanto which was the biggest biotech seed company in two thousand and eleven and finally reach out to new markets by pressuring the developing countries to adopt a biotech crops the main argument here is that these crops are stronger and fluid in security around the world with a growing global population the state department also lobbied against the labeling of these crops and genetically modified foods they don't want any type of labels on them countries from egypt to hungary argentina to mozambique were targeted in these efforts and many of them were very receptive some of them. actually change their regulations as a result now this lobbying started happening around the same time that monsanto admitted to bribing indonesian officials and in attempt to weaken and veyron mental oversight of g.e. crops now in the wake of these cable releases it appears that monsanto and other

biotech firms don't need to bribe country officials anymore they have the government to do that using taxpayer money nonetheless it is the latest chapter in a dispute over your dinner plate in washington meghan lopez r t well the global day of action has already kicked off with marches in this trailer so check out all of updates on our website at r.t. dot com and stay with us throughout the day for the latest on the protests against monsanto as a wave of anger over the biotech giant global. with the backing of the government sowing seeds. around the world breaking the story. the march against the sun told. on r.t. . french troops have raided an army base in northern nigeria killing militants who staged twin suicide blasts on thursday that left more than twenty people dead the

country to another sparking fears they could carry out further attacks to make their point. explains. those behind this new suicide blast that killed over twenty people in niger and they have described it as an attack against france in revenge for its offensive against islamic militants in neighboring mali one of the two groups claiming responsibility for almost simultaneous explosions at an army base and a french run your reign in mind in nigeria is the movement for openness and you hard in west africa last year the al qaida group seized control of the northern part of mali and brutally ruled the area of a month people being driven out of mali by frank troops france's president then hailed the operation success here perhaps on the map as the french military would hope to have also craft to ask the optimist because. hermann they destroyed all the major bases of the militants in mali north but this recent attack in niger it's

clear that the rats remain serious and it shows that the militants are not defeated and the fight against them is far from over although the battlefield has relocated following the recent lost also on the sets france moved north into being however the next day french troops took part in operation to often use that image and captured off the track to further the happy for those who want the french intervention to get chain reaction that will give paris more travel and will bring in more violence to the entire region. notion our team from mali. contributor to tons he says it is wrong to think the french actions in its former african colonies will defeat extremism there especially given the natural riches some of those countries can offer. there's no doubt that the french intervention will lot of changed anything in particular. the idea of

streams or al qaeda linked groups are just going to go away french special forces are left into these yeah which usually we knew about because of course the yellowcake uranium saddam hussein deals this is where all the world's uranium you know there's a big fight for whatever is happening in these areas there is a scrabble for this uranium french company a raver that oh this uranium mine how strange that its revenues are twenty eleven or about the g.d.p. of the entire country well first i'll grow to extremism of any kind you're watching at a still ahead for you top politicians keep raising a stereotype as the way out if europe's financial crisis but as we report later this hour for millions of people in portugal any further sense taken from that could result in sliding into complete overtake. you want to school for knowledge

editor of politics u.k. and called us to think yeah from the right wing british national party there's acts of terrorism really conducted by the far right you very generously describe the b.m.p. is a right wing party they're not right wing they're far right they're a fascist party. they perpetrate against mosques against property the threats against muslims these are also acts of terrorism these are also acts of violence by non-state actors for political means but i've got to learn from and i have to do something to do with with my how to help like honestly think that i say sure is done by right wing fanatics and i have to convert us all to. the other person who spoke in the signori completely the funked the ali part of somali how about an open dialogue with muslim communities that recently i had the bait with muslim communities in books in but the city in london about these very issues of religion

. for employees. about the. issue of these racist you should learn about what are you know proud of on ok just listen to mr dunn now please but you know i wouldn't don't know we don't know we don't. have websites people from. people from from they. let me really judge their members all in surprisingly they know when we have sound some other lunatics who are so agree with your demented view of the world however that does not mean that you know what is there what is that they mentioned actually the r.t. is a ruse all right you know yet if you just look just forget it all you know just off the shore to the british people died there a pull by what's happened there from government they don't want a reaction that could be tempered by fears of political incorrectness what should be done there's got to be. political correctness really has no connection to where

the you have a viable response to a terrorist incident stopping terrorism is about having joined up services by intelligence agencies by the police by mental health authorities by schools by the muslim community these are the kind of sensible i don't mean that you take to prevent violence and what about the maintenance as well because and i thought if you. misunderstand that it is something to do with an intrinsic nature of islam ok just to mention the fact that you can't have the manpower to track all these people down but surely the has been a lack of surveillance of many people who say we need to step up that now so it was so cold snooping on people because clearly they were on the five radar but they got through i mean is that do you think that people b.s. you just make something very clear. where we don't really know what is how does it let me say this i mean there's a lot of people talking without any access to the information required to make a coherent judgment we know yes that they're one of my part it wasn't that it was

a free country and they're even say it isn't all that my own intelligence list and not be tracked at all times i'm afraid that these things do sometimes happen terrible as they get mr particular they gave over my five they gave over my five talking in the consul coleman's said refrain to do love thousand and five the security services in the united kingdom of a mom or me the truck every single person they suspect would be involved you know not that the reason. they gave obama a five talking no if you a few carry on. bathing a lot of countries can in mostly any drug funny stuff on cd they would have. you don't you wouldn't have. enough security services to come to the unger of these people. well more coverage on the brutal machete murder in malaysia

all of our reports. europe's politicians insist that all star team is essential but what effect does that austerity have upon the everyday people to whom it's a flick to the. i went to meet a family just outside of lisbon who are feeling the pressure of portugal's financial failings and really we used to take certain things for granted hard water lights now have to watch everything we use families in financial straits like this want to becoming a common occurrence as the gap between the middle class and the bread line narrows in one of europe's purchased countries. my husband lost his job now will live on see the names and whatever work he can get as a day laborer those savings are running out with two daughters and one grandson the

effects of portugal's financial plight is being felt through generations of this family and it's leaving its mark i'm twenty years old people my age should be planning for the future but there's no work the way things are now i have no prospects no hope. this family a lucky there are many in portugal and a far worse situation as the country's debt grows and the unemployment levels rise charity organizations are seeing an increase in those needing help push this cause he was as. we have children passing out of school because parents can't afford to feed them properly how can they learn if they're focused on hunger these armed children from bad parents just parents that can't feel them and there's another worrying trend appearing bilson burning them all too often we see the same thing the family lose their income they're too proud to ask for help the bells start

piling up the mortgage to food before you know it's the family on the street the future is that with the children the problem for portugal is that it has debts around one hundred eighty billion euro one hundred twenty percent of annual production coupled with twenty percent unemployment and it leads to a very difficult situation for its people the country needs money but it doesn't have the economic output to pay off its bills. however what's of more concern is that the country could see another generation. under the shadow of national debt see. my son how poor do we go is that he can get a job somewhere abroad i can see anything for him here peter all of our team. other world news in brief now riots by you in stockholm and it continued for six nights in a row police say they've managed to bring down the level of protests but the

violence has spread side the swedish capital youngsters have been setting cars of days and damaging local homes and businesses rioting began in mainly poor immigrant areas after a sixty nine year old man was fatally shot by police in the north of the capital. a gun fight lasting for hours in the center of the afghan capital has claimed two lives the heavily armed taliban group backed by a suicide bomber tried to make their way into an international compound in kabul police held off the attackers who were shooting back with machine guns and grenade launchers it's another stress test for the afghan forces before they're handed complete security control by the us in twenty forty. three more clashes have broken out in bahrain between police and shiite muslims furious over a raid on the home of a top cleric last week thousands more have supported mass protests in the politicians village the opposition believes the house sweep was ordered as part of increased political pressure by the sunni led government now education is the key

to success as the saying goes but grabbing some knowledge for palestinian children in the west bank proves to be quite a challenge one group has to climb rocky mountains every day just to get to the classroom and some do it by extraordinary means as artie's reports. each morning the steep hills of this inhospitable corner of the dane desert come alive with children scrambling down on rocky slopes to get to class before the bell rings. some children walk seven kilometers each way they are very keen to learn. it takes a certain kind of dedication to be a student at the school peoples of the coming up stickles just to get here. in the winter when it rains a lot of children fall they arrive at school with wet clothes in the summer the snakes are the main problem. then there are others like judge brinn cushion who come by donkey he wakes up at four each morning so he has enough time to ride the

two hours it takes to get to class sometimes i fall from the donkey and i get injured one time i cross the street and my friend who was in another donkey got hit by a car but god saved him and he did not die riding on this is not secure especially in harsh weather conditions and up a rocky mountain passes the chances of falling are pretty high it would be a lot easier if the community could build a road to the school but they're not allowed to israeli authorities say they are here illegally. we always live with the feeling that they are going to kick us out from the camps and we're afraid for our children's future. we just want to live our ordinary lives without fear we have no electricity or water we have no roads. luckily the school is built in line with strict israeli orders but even though the bamboo mud and straw was cannot be bulldozed neither can they be expanded but for

the children and the litter parents it's worth the effort these people realize the importance of education. thriving to kids that kids. look at the trying to learn and they realize this importance because they're you know a very not the not for the better it's for the one hundred thirty students it's a few hours with spite from the harsh reality awaiting them outside these gates the chance for a future which their parents never had driving them to make sure they get to class whichever way they can put asli r t y d at the hindi in the west bank. i'm back here again in about thirty minutes time but coming up next our financial experts max chis that and stacy expose those they suspect of sucking up public wealth in europe.

paranoia and zero tolerance policies strike yet again the latest in a string of children being punished for making gun noises or playing with toy guns involves a son of a u.s. marine who had the audacity as a child to use his imagination and p. pretended his pencil was our gun bang children imitate what they see in every t.v. channel and in many video games kids are going to see a lot of guns in fact the boy at that moment was admirably pretending to be just like his father a u.s. marine you know guns kind of come with that job description rather than complain you all again about the obvious idiocy of zero tolerance policies against children playing let me give one suggestion to actually help fix the problem there are so many teachers and school administrators across america that i bet many of you know one of them try talking them about the madness of zero tolerance

a lot of people do things just because they were told to or they never thought about it before so please dear friends try to get teachers you know to actually think about it i can complain on t.v. all day long but one conversation from a friend or relative really could change many people's minds maybe but that's just my opinion. welcome to the kaiser report cards are too many central bankers not enough wealth

creators too much quantitative easing not of capital creation yes people we are literally drowning in central banking. glug glug glug but. well glug glug glug because we are drowning in central banking the first headline is jeff flock we're drowning in central banking we're drowning in central banking right now and quantitative easing that's where the bubble is it's not going to end anytime soon until there are some negative consequences one of the problems we're going to have in the global economy is currency devaluations that's the solution for an individual country for the issues they are facing right devaluations against what well just nine hundred seventy one when the gold window was closed everyone's been trading against each other so now the recognition that everyone is evaluating against against what well there is only one answer to that they will have to come back and say.
