and a very warm welcome for you this hour i am you are with the latest news now edward snowden hasn't been seen by the white a public since he received political asylum here in russia until now we can leaks has released new footage of the n.s.a. whistleblower but did not reveal exactly where it was filmed because of concerns about his security also he's lucid confident has more. 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 whistleblowers

accusing the government of what he called effectively misplaced priorities it's lettuce or you know relationship to god where we know exactly. just this on the last. night. live to the bombs. but they will stop the. person. holding 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 the first time that the warden a 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 on more concern in terms of prison people at risk. of course sarah as we know our guardian newspaper was rated grills part of the time for nine hours and therefore more investigation before the terrorism investigation has started up so there you have it julian assange describing a difficult political climate for whistleblowers and those who help them it's not a member himself meanwhile we are told at least has no regrets about what he did and believes that it was the right decision. a worldwide rally against genetically modified food giant monsanto is being held across the globe activists separate testing the use of potentially harmful chemicals ensued 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 small that sixty countries aussies

myrna partner i reports now 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 the genetically modified foods with a very strong patent for farmers can only beef the seeds from monsanto each year and they can save the sea 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 company's spent nearly six million dollars last year lobbying federal lawmakers and food regulators to payoff 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 now sort of laugh or eat 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 and 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 business it helped bring pesticides agent orange and terminator seeds to the market agent

orange was used by the. s. military during the vietnam war where it's estimated to have killed hundreds of thousands of people its effects 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 during a point ny r.t. new york and on santa is not the only dram producer causing concern to cullen o'neill who is director of government affairs at the center for food safety in the u.s. and 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 major agribusiness influences on capitol hill i think you 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 get spread through reviews and also to ensure that consumers are not informed about what the products they are eating so for instance not labeling genetically engineered foods and of course will be closely following the global action against on sunday here and online as well plus we've got a special documentary coming up on just how save genetically modified foods for

your health go rice is an interest in the twenty minute. global business risk global. interests versus millions of voices billions in profits versus global. 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 are in now. obama's spokesperson said the president would only sign a clean short term increase of the boring limit that means one three 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 if no agreement is reached the u.s. will run out of money but the seventeenth and will default but for some including cancer patients whose treatment has been put on hold things are already bought and now. 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. being diagnosed with. was supposed to receive treatment at the u.s. national institutes of health but was turned away off to lawmakers failed to agree on the budget we asked what should like to say to them i have heard a couple of instances where they find this is just the game between them and it's

a matter of winning and i'd like to say that it's not a matter of win or lose i mean it's please listen to the people and know that it's affecting so many. that are in need of help. while truckers have taken out the tasca forcing lawmakers to solve the shutdown crisis themselves by blocking highways to clog up traffic around d.c. resignation or impeachment just like marcy in egypt. and some of them have some pretty strong views about obama's presidency coming up we'll tell you more about that demands to get the government moving again. and also why has london been named the west place to be in our report about after this break. as afghanistan prepares for

a presidential election many in the political and media mainstream speak of the country's first democratic transition but it's less talked about is the dire security situation on the ground there karzai is angling to succeed him self the powerful presence of the taliban and whether the u.s. will ever actually leave afghanistan. or the gaza strip should not be a launching side for rocket attacks on israeli women children and civilians to a palestinian leadership is responsible for this but this is why israel is not willing to repeat this experiment in judea and samaria so israel is not willing to be the sucker of the middle east and to make long term concessions sacrificing the security of its own citizens but only to find out in the end of the conflict isn't over that is going on as before except that israel is now in a much worse position. the

interview. come again this is all see welcome back. it's maybe one of the world's most popular

tourist destinations a bus to historic science and top attractions but the city of london has now won a less or spacious title a tongue in cheek book listing what was called britain's towns his neighborhood the country's watched. the money behind alvord why. it's interesting the dreary didn't see day here in london typical for you the weather which may be the perfect day for me to tell you that london 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 crack hounds returns which names the fifty worst places to be in the u.k. i don't think london i didn't really understand this because they said of london being the worst place but luckily some jordison say to explain that to me with an umbrella and his gopi across town to tell them you love it 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 getting on the northern line having your armpit i mean you'll know you've jammed into someone else's house at the time i experience 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 to be hollowed out or you billionaires 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 country you 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 it's taking up another housing bubble it's primarily it's a book that people read in the toilets made to make them laugh it does it does a into production. people thinking about

a times when the way we treat. the way we live hopefully starts 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 space it is from the outside they it's incredibly expensive to visit the transport system isn't very reliable and people are very rude it might just be possible for london to pick up its behavior in the next ten years and become not quite so awful. and i was so wild news in brief this hour thirty four 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 hospital rescued by maltese and italian ships supported by helicopters in a similar incident last week more than three hundred people mostly from every tree and somalia drowned near the italian island of lampedusa.

be. the biggest humanitarian catastrophe of the twenty first century and this is building into one of the great humanitarian crisis on the face of the planet. no this is not true we hardly know if we are all liars we don't care what they say 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 short we have extra quantities enough for another fifteen days. while in this public market and the thousands like it across syria shoppers and management tell us in two years they've never been any shortages in this growing rice and sugar there are always available you never have a shortage of them in our warehouses aromas. isom adani recently arrived in the country and was shocked to find that local stores of food 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 fruits. vegetables. ok 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 for 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 not the governments or the media who are trying to use everything we have even the small things like bread to justify their own objectives 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. damascus the us government has shut itself down so truckers decided to chop down the capital in response they got behind the will in protest and circled washington to clog up the traffic on d.c. interstates many also expressed that it's going to tend at obama's policies as a whole and didn't hold back. part of our agenda is we're counting for his resignation or impeachment. like marcy 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 own treason and for. a low is demanding obama leaves office there were calls for the u.s. not to support al qaida not to raise the debt ceiling not for the end of the two widespread n.s.a.

surveillance this grassroots campaign has received a lot of support on facebook and has launched a successful twitter campaign since nine eleven america has done a lot to boost surveillance and increased security however the policies don't necessarily make people feel safe and risk fueling paranoia of terrorists around every corner. and looks at that and breaking the set later today and here's a preview. and listen to flight from d.c. to orlando hosted what can only be described as a terrorist dry run take a look at how they figured it out the. crew members say that shortly after takeoff a group of four quote middle eastern men caused a commotion in the witnesses claim one of the men ran from his seat in coach toward the flight deck door he made a hard left and entered the forward bathroom called for a considerable length of time you know the reason stories like this even gain traction in the first place is because of the fear of the other or by that i mean

anyone who remotely looks brown and to prove my point it just so happens i have acquired some rare footage of what really went down on that flight. this is. so yeah i think you get the idea. and access from as did jim fruits to help feed the wild golden rice is right after this break.
