where the company was founded more than a century ago or he's an associate churkin to reports from new york throughout the world and in dozens of cities across the united states weekend of 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 an end to its actions the corporate giant the biotech global giant has been very controversial its existence for over a century accused of genetically engineered and genetically modified agriculture and food accused of turning a blind eye on the health consequences of the food that it produces and 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 have 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 then there may be no way to fully tackle that machine and even boats which monsanto monsanto and the government are one we have a supreme court justice. who is a lawyer for the month sent to corp how much independence do we have really in our government all of 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 local marches against monsanto what they're demanding is a liebling obviate 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 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 or he's making lopez explains why the 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 revise 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 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

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 on themes as we do we have children passing out at school because parents can't afford to feed them properly how can they learn if they're focused on hunger the children from bad parents just parents that can't feed them and there's a nother worrying trend appearing been said by most of 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 move gets difficult before you know it's the family on the street the future is that for the children the problem for portugal is that it has debts around one hundred eighty billion euro one hundred twenty percent of unusual 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 grow up under the shadow of national debt. my son what i hope you are do we go is that he can get a job somewhere abroad i can see anything for him here peter all of our team portugal so to look now at some other stories making global headlines this hour the leader of the lebanese shia militant hezbollah says his movement would remain involved in the syrian war to the very end sonisphere all a promise to help the assad regime to victory against the rebels he claims the armed opposition represents a threat for both christians and muslims in a ranger. accusing the u.s. and israel of backing them in their fight against damascus. swedish police called
