i don't know if i'm going to make it to the end look so i'm just looking at the list i don't know what to do. they'll suck a. person. for the. n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden makes his first public statement since being granted asylum in russia after receiving an award for his revelations. global march against frankenfood protesters in hundreds of cities across the world unite to vent their anger at the methods of g.m. . but with no deal to end america's budget deadlock the white house and republicans agreed to continue talking while cancer patients see their treatments put on hold. the matter of life or death it's not a matter of inconvenience or just an irritation for us we need this treatment.

and i welcome you watching our take with me andrey. now edward snowden hasn't been seen by the wider public since he received political asylum in russia until now wiki leaks released new footage of the n.s.a. whistleblower but did not reveal exactly where it was filmed because of concerns about his security well arty's lisi careful of can tell us more about it she joins us live. she is now lucy we haven't seen mr snowden since the summer at least not publicly what did he have to say this time well that's right he had quite a bit to say the n.s.a. whistleblower was very passionate in talking about the problem of government surveillance in the united states now he said the issue wasn't with any specific spying program rather the relationship between the states and the american people

a relationship which he described as increasingly coming into conflict with democratic values snowden also lashed out at the prosecution of whistle blowers accusing the government of what he called effectively misplaced priorities take a listen. it's one of those mornings you know relationship to god where we know exactly for sure it's on the news last. night. to the bombs. but they will stop the. person. or the. snowden made these remarks at a ceremony right here in moscow at an undisclosed location where he was given the sam adams award for integrity in intelligence now that award was presented to him by a group of prominent american whistleblowers and former government officials they joined our t.v. for an in-depth studio discussion on thursday this is of course speak first time

that the war going to world has been able to catch a glimpse of mr snowden since he got asylum here in russia the last time we saw him was at the sheremetyevo airport transit zone back in july and while snowden himself may be safe and sound there have been questions about the fate of those who have worked with them and of course that is a worry that's been expressed by wiki leaks founder julian assange let's take a listen to what he had to say. i'm more concerned in terms of prison people at risk. sara harrison who's involved in getting. out of hong kong spent thirty nine days with him moscow airport protecting him for a week. and still be in russia. now she's from the u.k. as we know our guardian newspaper was ready to. move to turn in for nine hours on the counter terrorism act here without charge and a formal investigation form terrorism investigation has started up.

relation to all those people so there you have it julian a son is describing a difficult political climate for whistleblowers and those who help them not only himself meanwhile we are told at least has no regrets about what he did and believes that it was the right decision andrew back to you lucy thank you there's artie's lucy catherine off i would wide running against genetically modified food giant monsanto is being held across the globe activists are protesting the use of potentially harmful chemicals in food production something monsanto says is the only way to feed the globe's growing population hundreds of cities are said to take part in the march across more than sixty countries artie's report as this report from new york. in the land of supersize approximately eighty five percent of all processed foods contain genetically modified organisms g.m.o. is an acronym that owns its notoriety largely to the agriculture giant monsanto

a multinational billion dollar corporation generating global criticism revolving around the safety of its products and growing a monopoly over the world's food supply they are able to patent their genetically modified foods with a very strong patent for farmers can only be the seed from monsanto each year and they can save the seeds and researchers have documented dozens of health risks associated with the consumption of a modified foods and the majority of americans have campaigned for g.m.o. foods to be labeled just like these organic fruits are labeled but so far the will of the people has been silenced by the money of monsanto according to open secrets dot org the companies spent nearly six million dollars last year lobbying federal lawmakers and food regulators to pay off came this year with the passing of the so-called monsanto protection act

a bill that gives the biotech companies immunity from lawsuits pertaining to the production and sale of genetically modified seeds the new reality of the world is that chemical companies are feeding us and our families to now sort of laugh or to the table rather than farm to table and in an effort to widen its power and profit the agriculture giant has recently purchased a corporation which sells climate data to farmers the price tag of nine hundred thirty million dollars of wasn't a problem for monsanto which grossed a reported thirteen point five billion dollars in revenue last year but decades before g.m.o. foods and fears about modified foods came along monsanto was already in the business it helped bring pesticides agent orange and terminator seeds to the market agent orange was used by the you. military during the vietnam war where it's estimated to have killed hundreds of thousands of people it's the facts are still being felt today vietnam says some half

a million children have suffered birth defects due to herbicide. monsanto's current practices have ignited protests around the globe. millions are taking to the streets demanding that big food comes clean by either illegally genetically engineered products or not selling them at all. new york. among sun so is not the only g.m. producing causing concern we spoke to colin o'neill who is director of government affairs at the center for food safety in the u.s. he says such companies have the power to pressure governments worldwide to get their products on the market these marches are raising awareness about the issue and bring awareness not only about monsanto and its influence in agriculture but also other chemical companies that have become a major agribusiness influences on capitol hill i think we see an overwhelming

influence in governments and that really has to do with money that these are major chemical companies the top i mean fifty three percent over fifty three percent of seeds are owned by just a handful of these major agribusiness chemical companies so they exert tremendous influence in politics and have millions upon millions of dollars to spend to ensure that their products spread through reviews and also to ensure that consumers are not informed about what the products they are eating so for instance are not labeling genetically engineered foods. and of course we will be following the global action against monsanto here and online and we've also got a special documentary coming up on just how your safety net a clean modified food cell for your health golden rice is on there next. one is global business risk global. interests versus millions of boys or billions

in profits versus global. monsanto. on argy bargy dot com president obama and house republicans have again failed to reach a deal to end the u.s. budget crisis the white house rejected a republican proposal for a short term lifting of the debt ceiling we cannot have a situation where we still use extended as part of a budget negotiation process for only six weeks which would put us right back in the same position that we're in now. what obama's spokesperson said the president would only sign a clean short term increase of the boring limit but means one free of any policy demands republicans want to delay obama's health care reforms but the white house is refusing to discuss it until the government is reopened and if no agreement is

reached the u.s. to run out of money for the seventeenth and will default but for some including cancer patients whose treatment has been put on hold things are already bad enough . lives are at stake two hundred people are trying to get into trials at an age each week and each week passes that's another two hundred that are turned away at this time and it's a matter of life or death it's not a matter of inconvenience or just an irritation for us we need this treatment well michelle london was diagnosed with coma she was supposed to receive treatment at the u.s. national institutes of health but was turned away after lawmakers failed to agree on the budget where you asked what she'd like to say to the i have heard a couple of instances where they find that this is just the game between them and that it's a matter of winning and i'd like to say that it's not a matter of when or lose i mean it's a please listen to the people and know that it's affecting so many. that are in

need of help while truckers have taken up the tasca forcing lawmakers to solve the shutdown crisis themselves by blocking highways to clog up traffic around d.c. . resignation or impeachment. marci in egypt. and some of them have some pretty strong views about this presidency coming up we'll tell you more about that demands to get the government moving again. why has london been named the worst place to be in britain all reports plus the other stories. well within. science technology innovation all the developments from

around russia we've. covered wealthy british style. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines two kinds of reports.

again it may be one of the world's most popular tourist destinations boasting historic sites and top attractions but the city of london has now won a less or suspicious title a tongue in cheek book listing what it calls britain's crappiest times has named it

the country's worst lower smith asked the man behind the award why. it's interesting the dreary didn't the day here in london typical for you the weather which made the perfect day for me to tell you that nothing has been facing the worst area in the u.k. to live in despite the fact that within a mile radius from here it houses the parliament westminster abbey the london eye and other really famous landmarks it's a book called crush pounds return which made me feel he was raised since it be in the u.k. as an adult citizens no i don't really understand this is a city of london being the what place but luckily i'm told it's here to explain that to me with an umbrella and his copy of prats how to tell them that i mean i can think of ten worst places just off the top of my head what your criteria are all kinds of criteria i think one of things that people write in about

a lot it's the daily grind it's so hard in london getting all that the northern lights have your all but i mean you have no use jammed into someone else's all the time expense the fact that it costs so much to to buy property or is in fact impossible for most people to buy property in the center of london is be hollowed out a union as can afford to stay there not even professionals like doctors can and there's also a lot of anger with london coming from the rest of the computer had the banking crisis which is all centered around london and we're told that subsequently the recession is over and there's growth but only london really seems to be getting the benefits and is sticking up another housing bubble it's primarily it's a book that people read in the toilet it's made to make them laugh but it does it doesn't approach the mind it's got people thinking about the times and the way we treat them and the way we live and hopefully start a conversation quite serious conversation it's certainly easy to say on a day like today why london might not be everyone's idea of paradise because

because it's the capital city get inside and out if it is from the outside say it's incredibly expensive to visit. trying to make it very reliable and people are very might just be possible for london to pick up its behavior in the next ten years and become no white so. let's hope the weather picks up there too now some international news in brief twenty seven people have been confirmed dead after a boat carrying african migrants capsized in the mediterranean sea most of the approximately two hundred who were on board have been rescued by maltese and italian supported by helicopters in a similar incident last week more than three hundred people mostly from era true in somalia brand new be italian island of lampedusa. militias marched in the streets at dawn in the libyan city of benghazi they were chanting and waving banners in support of a large by

a man seized by american forces and accused of being involved in the two bombings of the bombings of two embassies in africa the protesters denounced the u.s. raid which led to the capture and accuse prime minister ali zeidan of collaborating in the abduction of the libyan citizen sidon the head of the transitional government which himself kidnapped and quickly returned this week a sign of the country's current instability. meanwhile venezuela has detained a u.s. operated ship which entered disputed waters off guyana the vessel was being used by an american oil exploration company guyana called the movement i'm precedented threat to peace well venezuela said the ship violated its exclusive economic zone with that permission a border rather between the two south american countries has lasted for over a century with the search for resources fueling tension the talk of a humanitarian crisis has been the fuel for western calls for an intervention in

syria's conflict but as our tears poured asli reports many inside the country are simply trying to live as normal a life as possible. now that we have been able to make progress on the chemical weapons issue we should not forget we also needed to make progress on the humanitarian issue a warning echoing through many corridors of power in the wastes is on track to be. the biggest humanitarian catastrophe of the twenty first century this is building into one of the great humanitarian crisis on the face of the planet. no this is not true we hardly know we're all liars we don't care what they see here as you can see we have no trouble in this bakery in downtown damascus tens of thousands of traditional floats are churned out each day the machines work sixteen hours a day six days a week. we have extra quantities enough for another fifteen

days. while in this public market and the thousands my cut across syria shoppers and management tell us in two years they've never been any shortages. regarding rice and sugar there are always available we never have a shortage of them and our warehouses are always full. but it's not what the foreign media reports the worst humanitarian crisis since the end of the cold war we're seeing evidence of the humanitarian situation inside syria and it is only getting worse i simmered on the recently arrived in the country and was shocked to find that local stores of fool i thought that there would be nothing nothing at all everywhere in the supermarkets and nothing to eat and nothing i was really very agreeably surprised there is a lot of everything in the fruits bread. vegetables were ok of syrian origin i said lives in france where she works hard to counter

mainstream media bias she believes the french press like others does not report the truth about syria and they were always telling lies and they were really part of the project. a lot of. false for the b.b.c. were and c.n.n. all of them they were talking exactly the same thing at the same time the same moment with the same. slogans and so slogans that suggest ordinary life for most of damascus citizens has ground to a halt but the reality is that most people here are going about their daily routine far removed from the hardships depicted in the foreign press but when it comes to shortages there is one that is crippling the economy queues like this are commonplace at gas stations around the country caused by sanctions imposed by the united states and the european union ironically the very countries that are calling

for humanitarian intervention. the syrian people need a solution now the governments or the media who are trying to use everything we have even the small things like bread to justify their own image. actives the fight for syria is far from over and the psychological war the battle of perceptions over reality is likely to be fought for as long if not longer than the sides who have taken up arms against each other. r.t. damascus. if you get a chance to go online because we've got plenty more there for you to including. well you know. luckily the driver of this truck managed to get out just minutes before a train smashed into it and dragged it along the track you can check out the video and find out exactly what happened on r.t.c. cheap channel. and the spelling errors go this was a pretty big one by an authority you'd probably would get it right the vatican's

would draw in a series of papal commemorative medals which celebrate these rather than jesus we have got the full story at r.t. dot com. right. first rick. and i think. on our reporters. on. well the american government has shut itself down so truckers decided to shut down the capitol in response they got behind the wheel in protest and circled washington to clog up the traffic on d.c. interstates many also expressed their discontent to the bomber's policies as

a whole didn't hold back. argenta is recovering from his resignation or impeachment . marci in egypt and if we raise one hundred million americans across the country we will demand his resignation or pressure of the house and senate to call for his impeachment on trees and frog along with demanding a bomb and leaves office they will coast for the us not to support al qaeda not to raise the debt ceiling and the widespread and i say this grassroots campaign has received a lot of support on facebook and has been a successful twitter campaign. well despite the us being on the verge of default to meet the budget deadlock profits in america have generally been booming the economist magazine says they've reached the highest proportion of g.d.p. since world war two i skies it says that's because corporations are cooking the books you can watch his program in just over five minutes but he's

a quick taste. you know recently the prime minister here in the u.k. david cameron claimed the profits were not a dirty word i have news for you dave profit isn't even a word now with any objective meaning anyway thanks to accounting fraud it's whatever some shimada with the bean counter wanted to be so you've got the accounting firms the options trader and the c.e.o. and the executives all colluding to game the system to extract wealth we saw by the way apple computer after nine eleven when their stock crashed they then jumped into the market to price options based on the post nine eleven crash lo those executives and cashed out based on the nine eleven tragedy so they monetize the nine eleven tragedy the apple executives and we see that across the board the fortune five hundred companies gaming the system exploiting tragedy when they can and certainly what everyone else thinks is almighty god nine eleven what a tragedy there is apple like talk laugh let's make money on this tragedy it's

disgraceful. the full episode coming up shortly i'm back in about half an hour's time with more news. you know it's getting old trying to beat the war drums to invade iran i think the let's read iran talk has been going on. since i was in college to keep the saber rattling rolling israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu declared in front of the un that iran is building nuclear weapons that could hit new york in three to four years no he said new york obviously he is trying to spook a certain country with nuclear destruction the delegates from namibia were probably unmoved sadly this time netanyahu failed to bring

a funny cartoon bomb picture with him like in his two thousand and twelve un speech in which he also warned the world about the threat of a nuclear iran you know i might be more optimistic about israel accusing other countries of being nuclear threats if they had a better track record themselves although israel is a bit candid with their arsenal according to a b.b.c. article the federation of american scientists believes that israel's arsenal has grown to about two hundred nukes based on their surveillance of ever expanding facilities inside the country also let's not forget that israel has plenty of ways to deliver those two hundred nuclear bombs if the need be so my question is why should we automatically trust israel with a lot of nuclear weapons but not iran is it because they are bureaucrats where european suits and shave i don't know it just seems to me that disarmed countries are better advocates for nuclear disarmament but that's just my opinion.

on some. of. the. girls. for the future hunter. between two and three hundred million guns united states so. you can act like they're not here and keep kids away from them. the pass' out is a long term you know i mean this teaches them a lot of for a responsibility and simply come to pay through the eyes of children if we can't do it for our children for our future what.

i'm talking about edward snowden and you know that some americans believe he's a hero i'll just believe he's a criminal why do you stand i believe is a hero of my belief he's coming directly from his heart that he feels some goodness that he wants to be truthful to the american people that he believes in and loves his country america so strong with and i wish that somebody five in the same situation i hope that i have the courage to do the same thing. well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports i'm likely to put in the know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say to mr kerry you have a car as all your talk you know is going to. take no more weasel words.

when you made a direct question are you prepared for a change when you have to punish be ready for a. printout of speech and a little bit of the freedom to question. welcome to the kaiser report i am max kaiser you know recently the prime minister here in the u.k. david cameron claimed the profits were not a dirty word i have news for you dave profit isn't even a word not with any objective meaning anyway thanks to accounting fraud it's whatever some shimada with a bean counter wants to be and so you do have all these units of accounting fraud let's call them profits then what.
