a british soldier will bring you the debate over whether blaming immigrants and muslims is justified. use or russia and iran the wall this is all see with me you hello and welcome to the broad rom turns of thousands of activists teaming out for a global day of action against by a ted giant monsanto they claim the corporation has established a seed monopoly from the u.s. to asia holding small thoughtless hostage to their products and forcing those who don't use it out of business the worldwide protest has already kicked off in australia and new zealand with more rallies expected throughout the day all seasons to citric and i reports. march against month santo is

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 keep 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 anti 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 low 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 a specific corporation 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. and nick has

a social media director at the notch again small sometimes claims in some parts of the while the corporate giants tactics that even leading pharmacies to so sign if you look at what happened in india i mean there's an epidemic of suicides of the farmers because monsanto sold them out of cotton here a cotton seed that they promised would do a certain thing and then those seeds didn't perform how they were supposed to do and it drove a lot of these indian farmers into sheer poverty and they ended up committing suicide by the hundreds and thousands even on 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 of 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. made accusations them all santo corporation enjoys protection from the authorities a recent report showed the u.s. government has been aggressively lobbying for ten foods across the wild i'll say america correspondent megan lopez reports. 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 five to two thousand and nine provides the first comprehensive

analysis of u.s. 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 some of 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 can end

food insecurity 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. . and you can check count live updates on the global day i'm sure now websites call mund stay with us throughout the day for the latest on the protests against

monsanto as a way to go over there via ted china and goes global. with the backing of the government sowing seeds. around the world breaking the sea change the march against the sun to your. own heart. french troops have raided and knowledge base in northern new shag killing militants who staged with suicide blasts on thursday that left more than twenty people dead tenuously a local military base and a french owned you raney a mine and islam is group from mali claimed responsibility saying the bombings were in retaliation for both the new jersey military involvement in mali and let's now take a look at how the violence has been spreading across former french colonies in africa this january france started its military intervention in mali to combat islam is taking control of the north of the country just days later al qaeda linked

really conducted by the far right you very generously describe the b.n.p. is a right wing party idea they're not right wing they're far right they're a fascist party and the acts of violence that 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 political means well i've got to learn from and i have to do something to do with my i have a right to help like others i think that i say sure is done by right wing fanatics and i have to come to the person with. the other person who's talking no he said noting completely the funked the somali have 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. for importing.

politicians insist that all story is essential but what effect does that austerity have upon the everyday people to whom it's an elected upon. i went to meet a family just outside of lisbon who are feeling the pressure of portugal's financial failings and we used to take certain things for granted hard water lights now have to watch everything we use families in financial straits like this one of becoming a common occurrence is the gap between the middle class and the breadline narrows in one of europe's purchased countries. my husband lost his job now will live on see the games 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

for the children the problem for portugal is that it has debts around one hundred eighty billion euro one hundred twenty percent of a new production couple that 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 grow up under the shadow of national debt. my son how poor do we go is that he can get a job somewhere abroad i can't see anything for him here peter all of r.t. portugal. and as europeans continue to struggle with poverty some still manage to cream the profits later today marks kaiser and stays ahead that expose those they suspect of sucking up public wealth. to game of monopoly and as players go bankrupt

in twenty forty. coming out here and i'll see will be looking into the latest financial highlights on priming trends. although i was born after the vietnam era i remember t.v. discussions about that buddhist monk who burned himself to death as a form of protest the commentators on the news said that people there just have a different mindset that westerners could never understand you know which is probably true but they were implying that people in the west are just different and would never use this absolutely extreme form of protest which is also probably true until just recently with the cost of electricity exceeding the income of the

average ball garion and a new government coming to power that looks exactly like the old government that collapsed at least six ball gary and have used self-immolation as a very desperate and extreme form of protest but why kristen ghodsee a professor at bowdoin college who has extensively talked to bulgaria protesters claims that those who self immolate are just incredibly desperate and cannot feed their own children and that people are actually becoming a stealth for communism because at least that system at the people's basic needs the current democratic system from the populace perspective according to her just cycles through a few new crooks every few years although it does get media attention and you may be feeling desperate suicide is never an answer the more living bulgarians the better bogey areas chances believe me but that's just my opinion.

that afternoon i welcome the prime and. i'm harry i'm boring here and washington d.c. and these are the stories that we're tracking today. what i thought the banks are writing their own legislation that's what a new york times article reveals one bill in particular is carving out exemptions for trades from new what regulation according to the times the bill which quote was essentially citi group sailed through the house financial services committee and cigarettes recommendations were reflected in more than seventy lines of the house committee eighty five line bill while this probably comes as no surprise that the trend of banks carrying increasing influence is getting noticed which is probably not good for mr dimon at all and embattled hedge fund mongul stevie cohen continues to face pressure for possible criminal insider trading charges this after he recently had to pay six hundred million dollars to the f.c.c. to settle civil charges borne of senior executives were given subpoenas to testify
