a new set of austerity measures to help it struggling economy this tens of thousands protested in lisbon calling for the government to step down still to come on r t we take a look at who is hardest hit by the ongoing crisis. but first a wave of rallies is rolling across the globe in protest the biotech giant monsanto more than forty countries have seen demonstrations against the company activists say monsanto's monopolizing the food market producing hazardous products and choking out small farmers some of the largest demonstrations happening in the u.s. where the company was founded more than a century ago or he's honest r.c. church reports from new york throughout the world and in dozens of cities across the united states weekend action against monsanto takes place were in the heart of the protests in the big apple where hundreds of people have been marching through the streets of the city demanding that monsanto put in its action the. giant the biotech global giant has been very controversial its existence for over

a century accused genetically engineered and genetically modified food culture and food accused. turning a blind eye on the health consequences of the food that it produces had also of immense lobbying powers that it has in washington d.c. for one piece of sleeping in the same bed really with politicians blocking any kind of legislation that would make life for money now months and to more difficult and promoting and pushing through legislation that protects the rights of this biotech giant these companies are manipulating the food chain to their own advantage for monetary gain there's a few people making a lot of money and we deserve to have better than that there may be no way to fully tackle that machine and even vote with monsanto mud santo in the government or one we have a supreme court justice who is a lawyer for the month sent

a corporation how much independence do we have really in our government these people that have come out onto the streets according to our estimates throughout the world it's hundreds of thousands of people protesting this weekend in global marches against monsanto what they're demanding is a liebling of g.m. most and also demanding further scientific research into genetically engineered genetically modified products and food and what they're hoping is that these big corporations such as monsanto at least begin to have less power and the voice of the people is heard that legislators begin to understand what it is that people want especially in the united states where any kind of significant legislation against monsanto has traditionally been blocked by legislators to say see churkin r.t. new york. on the eve of the day of action against monsanto the u.s. senate scrapped a bill allowing states to decide whether or not to put labels on genetically modified products artie's making lopez explains why these lawmakers think people

don't need to know whether or not they're eating g.m. foods. 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 revised 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 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 vironment the 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 f william ingall author of seeds of destruction the hidden agenda of g.m.o. explains how monsanto has pushed unethically modified products on the u.s. market this is a. strategic interest of the u.s. the agribusiness lobby which lobby the bush sr as president one thousand nine hundred two monsanto went to the white house and had a closed door meeting with bush and got bush to agree to make sure there were no

government tests whatsoever on the health and safety of g.m.o. products before they were released to the commercial public rats that would give old months up to rice corn and other had. huge incidence of cancer tumors compared with nonviable rats they had an enormous organ damage death rates five times out of of normal rights and the study was suppressed well that was it was damned by the european union's food safety administration and it turns out most of the scientists on the panel had ties to monsanto so it's just a corruption that my own subject tries to infiltrate its way they try to block labeling in california because that would damage their whole. product situation in america people are beginning to wake up. on r.t. dot com we're asking what the worldwide protests against monsanto are likely to achieve the results so far ten per cent think they'll become an ongoing movement

that will tame aventura leave the g.m.o. industry sixty three percent less optimistic and believe the rallies will increase public awareness but won't shape the lobbying power of the industry ten percent say the rallies will attract some attention as there are more important issues at hand such as world hunger and seventeen percent say the march against monsanto will eventually lead to an outright global ban on g.m. products but what do you think is our comment section to share your views if none of them are represented here as well what r.t. dot com let us know. with the backing of the government sowing seeds. around the world breaking the food chain the march against monsanto.

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 the 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-immolating are just incredibly desperate and cannot feed their own children and that people are actually becoming a stealth check 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
