a whole house of work and that's being coupled with just recent news of a rise in inflation around the eurozone most most notably when it comes to food just last month alone the price of the food rising by three point three percent so whole of these problems seem to be increasing and that's why we're seeing more and more people coming out to show just how unhappy they are with the current situation . up here already pouring here and you can keep up with the protests in frankfurt as crowds gather for a second day of demonstrations on peter's twitter feed. michael ross from the european financial blog and that news says the rest we're seeing in frankfurt is just the beginning of a global uprising against financial tyranny. i think this is one step more towards dictatorship in the eurozone the eurozone and you has nothing to do with democracy anymore and what i fear most is that all this crisis as you acquire this leads to
6:05 am
a structure that's which are far far away from democracy i mean i don't want a euro zone boss i want somebody whom i can believe whom i can trust and who i'm also able to elect but what's going on at the moment is that there are people in front of us like in the film when you do this is where politicians and of political view sites what's going on i think that's not good for the future take also the jet take america united states of america fifty million food stamps there this is not a no so we are we have all of the same problem and maybe the occupy and those protests that we see are only the beginning of a vast protest and demonstration all over the europe all over europe but also all over the world in jeopardy and united states as well while this contam grows on the streets of europe there are widening cracks on the political level and the latest brussels has been accused of a land grab complaint coming from the u.k.
6:06 am
after the european commission took the country to court to defend the rights of e.u. citizens living in the country it claims britain is discriminating against people from the other e.u. countries while london says it will fight every step of the way to protect its own laws r.t. says our cillian are reports. the european commission is once again looking more closely at the affairs of its member states now one that's making particular noise especially among the citizens of that country is the commission's decision to launch a case against the u.k. at the european court of justice because the commission says that the u.k. has the discriminatory against nationals of other e.u. countries in receiving welfare now there's already been reaction from the u.k. particularly angry ones from the government i want to from the work and pensions secretary who says that he will not cave in he says a brussels is once again launching a land grab and over reaching to its areas of responsibilities and meddling into the affairs of national governments now we have spoken to a legal expert to explain to us why the commission has done what it has. a case
6:07 am
where the commission has found. for feeling that we. know that he wants to have a referendum in two thousand and seventeen you want to renegotiate the treaty. i mean with the. respect to this latest move by brussels has once again brought to the forefront issues like sovereignty of member states immigration or the pressure put on social welfare systems the very issues the really have led to an increase in support for euro skeptic parties and countries like the u.k. now can the commission is looking also at another country spain it says that it has received complaints of the health card which is supposed to entitle e.u. citizens to free health care in public hospitals while they're traveling to other countries with a walk and it has been refused by some spanish hospitals so one the one hand you have the commission maintaining that it's simply implementing the rules on the other you have accusations that brussels is once again dipping into the affairs of

is one thing the media does very well we all tend to focus on one space issue of the moment and ignore the rest jill those are definitely worth the media attention but let's not ignore the fact that the food people eat around the world is an attack from multiple fronts antibiotics are often overused and cattle which can and eventually sadly will lead to anti biotics resistant bacteria evolving animals are also injected with various hormones which can make their way into our stomachs and speaking of mysterious things getting into our body pretty much any crop that you we are doused with all sorts of pesticides and sit on top of powerful fertilizers which can affect bodies of water far beyond the fence of the farm obviously technology has been. and should be used in farming so we all don't starve i get why
6:27 am
pesticides exist and why they started giving diseased animals antibiotics but there comes a point where out putting a lot of poisonous food will kill you just as dead as slowly starving will there is a healthy middle ground out there somewhere but if we only worry about just the g m o's and only win that battle then we'll still be eating food loaded with bad stuff just other bad stuff but that's just my opinion. you know how 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 realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. of. the day and oh. my now is that me i'm so i'm. i'm
