did you give consent for your child to eat golden rice. we didn't know it at the time they didn't tell us it was g.m. food mustn't leave if i had known it at the time i wouldn't have allowed it it. looked as though the flour many of the parents now regrets. that upon it they said the food was very healthy for the kids they said something about spirulina or something we didn't really understand they only said it was very good that's why we signed the consent form and let our children eat the meals. so. i'm furious my daughter in law ally son were not in the cut they left their child in my care the day.

you lot if anything happens i'm the one who's responsible this is coming i don't know what will happen didn't it we are we a cult. that's why it's very frightening these people feel betrayed what were the responsible authorities thinking the study was financed by the national health office of the united states and conducted by tufts university they made no official comment only that the research project was the subject of an ongoing investigation how does this story fit in with the inventor's humanitarian ideals years into. that everything was being done properly and i'm still assume that it's in the i don't know the chinese partners but i know the partners from the us i actually still believe that they did everything correctly.

why do they need to know why and how was the spanish produce that was used in the trial how was the gelatine produced that was in the capsules that surround it each of the doses of the beta carotene that was given in oil where did the oil come from there is no evidence that there's any problem with genetic engineering is genetic engineering of plants harmless an experiment involving rats raises a few doubts at the university of colorado friends rats were fed genetically modified corn for two years it was the first ever long term experiment with genetically engineered food the result that genetic corn caused tumors the study was conducted by french genetic researcher seventy. the tumors appeared as early as four months into the study as you know the earliest

a tumor can develop is after ninety days they exploded in quantity as well as the number of kidney and liver diseases that resulted in the death of the rats beginning around the end of the first year that means after about half of the normal life time for these animals and any amount. several leamy interprets the development of tumors like this the genetic manipulation change the chemical composition of the feed corn that may have depressed the animals immune defense against cancer. i were results show that all the genetically engineered projects already being distributed really should be stopped this study elicited very controversial reactions in the scientific community genetic research is a highly charged topic politically and illogically several eenie calls for close examination of the risks also those of golden rice see only if you take it seriously and don't want to play with the health of the public it's absolutely

necessary to conduct a long term tests like this one before putting the rights on the market. and rice would hardly be approved for the swiss market without prior animal testing according to the federal health office but no such tests have been conducted for the philippines. you've got the study by the swiss national research program which is which states explicitly that from everything we know so far there is no danger and that there is no theoretical danger to be expected in golden rice we have the same substance we're ingesting every day when we eat carrots of which we've already consumed hundreds of kilograms without any adverse effects they're exactly the same molecules as has been scientifically clearly proven to be and now with golden rice which could protect children from going blind or dying we're expected to conduct long term studies for potentially fifty years before we accept that this rice is

safe to eat that sound a little crazy. but do genetically engineered plants have a known side effects should we really take that risk the island a boy a province in the central part of the philippines doesn't want to take the risk the island's government has banned genetically modified plants so there won't be any golden rice here but according to national statistics the. people suffer from vitamin a deficiency how will they solve the problem. it's sunday morning we are visiting the family a typical family a rice farmers. cooking rice is one of the first things they do every day.

the family is so sufficient living from what they grow they have little opportunity to make any money to buy food in a store they have to depend on what nature provides a daughter ratio breaks off a few twigs from a tree its leaves are especially rage in vitamins and minerals including pro vitamin a. and a few blades of lemon grass for taste. well . you know the family usually eats red rice it's more nutritious than the white kind

we are told. along with the rice there's a little fish and a side of guy leaves from the family garden. you know. we always have rice what we eat with it depends on what we can harvest from the garden and what we can afford to buy that. meat is rare once in a while there's an ache depends on what their modest farm can produce. fruits provide important nutrients coconut mango bananas and. this one. i was one of. the well. you know one of the books were surprised how much the family is able to get out of the scarce ingredients available to them but a. farmer shows us his rice fields he owns just a quarter of

a hector of land most of the time there's not even enough rice to feed the six members of the family. in its current stage of growth the rice has to be flooded every two days that allows him to combat the main pest a snail using biological methods it isn't much but it works without the use of chemical additives he assures us that this method has proven successful on his small farm. we learn that the farming families on this island are organized in the so-called poor ox units of ten to fifteen households that are trained in agricultural issues if necessary they may even receive seedlings free of charge in addition the island's government also trains local health workers and that after you know everyone. at the book is good and cattle and these courses they learn for

example which vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin a that they. sit but they get better and i'm i said no you ought to have the the main goal the big man. by the way and become so that we take advantage of the opportunity to ask whether there are currently cases of vitamin a deficiency on the island. and by that age this is. due somebody would be nice is not one. way or the office were. paid to seen before the list and so was illegal e.t.c. that was the big stack in the healing of the child. this is an amazing claim according to national statistics the island is considered a region deficient in vitamin a but the local health workers have not documented any cases they don't know where and how the national statistics are compiled.

our visit to the island raised a lot of new questions we saw a population that while poor enjoys a well balanced diet and contrast to the official national statistics there's no sun in a vitamin a deficiency here. what does the inventor of golden rice have to say about what we have observed. does is for me let doesn't surprise me because it is not very easy to document it is although statistically it is certain that these cases exist. the philippines are not a very good example because in the philippines vitamin a deficiency is a problem for only about ten percent of the population with and for other countries provide better perspectives for girls and i was recently in india where i visited a village of traditional farmers i wasn't there for thirty minutes before i had

seen two cases so the cases do exist as it is you just have to look out for them in the right segments of the population and before evolution is due in the us and. although vitamin a deficiency is said to be more prevalent in india the miracle rice is planned for introduction in the philippines first we contacted innumerable organisations and authorities charged with document ing vitamin a deficiency without success. we would like to have spoken with the national authorities again no success instead they sent us an e-mail referring us to another office once again we were perplexed they were referring us to an office we had already tried to contact namely the national rice research institute phill rice. in other words to the same people who are working with the erie to bring golden

rice to market as quickly as possible. and subway doors begin opening. them up and i have an appointment with them we have an appointment with antonio. to day indeed whether. there is so little self reflection on the part of bowl. them american public and the american decision makers i wonder why is that. country of three hundred fifteen million people. sore. from the world by two large oceans. which i am to think of foreign policy is

something we do to other people rather than that but something we participate in. as a new physician. to abide by the hippocratic oath. to the best of my ability and judgment. i will prescribe for the good of my patients. i will not give deadly doses to anybody. or advise others to do so. i will never do harm to any. doctors of the dogs on on to.

put it on your cultural camarillo i should be making news on the face. of pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm sure. a fonso is the top man in the golden rice project we asked him why we weren't allowed to film the golden rice harvest. what was wrong with us well. yes yes we received your. requests and our communications team waited it out we did start with the process of requesting bill and the and the project the

say that it's not the right thing it's that it's not the proper time to do it and for what reason i cannot tell you that we got all the same some golden rice where did you get this that's the secret i'm sure it did not come from the philippines because the philippines is this really god in their eyes you don't believe it i don't believe it because there's no way for somebody like you in the media to be holding things like this because our policy is it's very clear in the philippians access the world in the eyes should only be limited to authorize special mail and i'm not sure they don't have the authorization to have access to golden rice so well. can you explain what's going on with a golden rice after you harvest and then i just have the compile all those

regulatory data those coming from the field is just one part of it there will be day that i mean from the lab you know protein analyses positional analyses all these things all those will be form part of that the regulatory set of data that will be submitted to the regulator and that's the department of agriculture bureau plant in the story so based on those data they will make an evaluation. it's gold in the days safe the. basic by safety requirements when we philippine people eat golden rice so where would the golden rice become available from samsung for planting i wish i can tell you that i was i can have a definite answer to your question but i can't because it would depend on that. if and when they would approve god based on that they that he will

submit to them if this group had its way the people of the philippines would never eat golden rice this is the rice cultivation center a mousy by an organisation made up of small farmers it is a nationwide network with thirty five thousand members farmers who cultivate their fields using traditional equipment and who raise traditional types of rice which. in this one i'm at the moment. i said but i think they had but they know it all. but some of them had been planted in the with the sort of we have a. two thousand six hundred. an enormous variety cheetah medina and his team document each and every strain with all their individual characteristics farmers can acquire tried and tested traditional seeds and multiply them on their own free of charge.

sheet to medina takes us to the treasury of the organization. this is a presentation on. this book to decide and must be progress on the other side all of this. because. most of them would be put in a mental conditions they should have to claim it jane. events so. and in the order to leave and order to have something to eat they need to this day but it's about a this in the show on having these seeds in the hands of divine what is this sent out of the words. development and bottoming because at this time the scenes that are being by the end needed to be bought by a us service at least this is put a bottom especially on subsistence in their own hand for them to do and for them to

sort of buy golden rice is not essential for survival he believes the specialist in different strains of rice insists we take one more rice sample from his own collection and give it a try. who in this country really wants the golden miracle writes the government the researchers the international race research institute erie. ultimately even the erie opened its doors to us after all the reason for this change of heart remains a mystery they even offered to show us real golden rice growing in philippine soil it wasn't outdoors in an open field as originally agreed but at a heavily guarded experimental field at the organization's headquarters.

bruce tolentino led us to reste most well guarded treasure so this building. this is called worth. access to this greenhouse is controlled you have to log in and we ensure that no animals birds or rats get into that we notice and spread the seeds around because we want to make sure that the research being done here follows all the protocols part of radical science. that golden rice growing in a hermetically sealed greenhouse. is the security intended to protect animals. what would happen if burris started eating these beta carotene greens. the answer to this question has yet to be investigated. so. eerie

demonstrates how the genetically modified plants are harvested one by one. well this varieties are being planted and we are testing a range of varieties to find out which of the varieties can yield the greatest level of beta carotene and we try to improve the varieties each step of the way and at this stage it's been an improvement from the varieties that are planted out in the field but we keep working because the bait the current the in content needs to be improved sort of you need some benchmark standards that have been set apparently the rice is still in its test face still the authorities are expected to consider approving it for the market within the current year. once again we are purple actually the authorities have already approved several genetically engineer plants. a magical moment the yellow green first appears when

the show has been removed the authorities seem confident that the success of these greens will start soon half the world's population iterates every day so if you can enrich rice if you can fortify your rice with vitamin a beta carotene you can help a lot of people with no additional expense we've been hoping that this race could be available this year i would not be surprised if in fifty years. people look at white rice and think what this is that anemic stuff and when their grandfathers tell them it's what we're used to we. they will hardly believe it. initially golden rice was planned to be marketed only in the philippines and in bangladesh. that was the plan set out by the gates foundation. as the principal donor and gets to make the decisions

but the inventor patroclus wants his miracle rice to be introduced worldwide preferably sooner than later he is irritated at the dictatorship of money and i think they came into the project at the end just as we were almost finished and we worked for twenty years to develop this rice without any help from the gates foundation and then in the end gates comes in with his riches and takes the entire project over for turning it into a gates project singh going to forwarded its research material to erie and later in collaboration with the gates foundation also relinquished rights and responsibilities regarding golden rice to the erie. the inventor did not approve of this agreement made in two thousand and ten. but his objections were ignored today to try because feels he was booted out. that iseman data rice they are working with

in the philippines today doesn't it belong to you anymore in the good ones morally and legally it still belongs to us but on the basis of the material transfer agreement which is an agreement between the gates foundation eerie and sing get into we were circumvented and as a good. that means at the moment we have no direct influence on what has been going on at the erie for the past two years and it's. really for us it isn't if we are not happy about these developments we consider it not only unfair but also legally improper. of the we don't intend to take. over as it is and. send us a letter saying they claim that the erie contemporarily determine what happens with golden rice is incorrect they went on to say we would like to state that our interest in golden rice is of

a purely humanitarian nature. a noble motivation but one that was unwilling to state on camera we are perplexed for weeks we tried to persuade to participate in this film without success. and what about the disappointed inventor patroclus he is still optimistic. i will have achieved my goal when the rice is being eaten by the people we mated for that is to save the poor people in developing countries who are in danger of developing serious medical conditions due to a lock of vitamin a. i know seventy nine years old i don't know whether i'll still be here in a year or two or three i hope i will still be alive when golden rice is finally in use in the philippines maybe in bangladesh additions. with

a genetically modify golden rice created by. actually benefit the people in developing countries the way its inventor hopes it will why are the authorities hiding behind closed doors if golden rice is approved in the philippines the floodgates will open and there will be no. world wide consequences once a genetically engineered version of people's most important basic food stuff has been approved it will be easier to gain approval for additional genetically modified foods.

when you're followed around when you are being investigated because of the whim of someone this is the beginning of the end of your freedom. american citizens. text message use you know. the calls text messages so you just. see everything about my knowledge that actually basically there's no legal absolutely yes when you bareback with the internet you bareback or rather. there were millions of dollars moving from a company in saudi arabia called sharpie fruit a fruit company and they were sending money to one of the leading members of the muslim brotherhood in yemen so this is what. is allowing facilitating

that to happen here that causes political instability in the region and causes i mean that's why it's trees in its financing our enemies and what's crazy about it is that each p.c. admitted to the department of justice. to the world. financing the enemy if you plead guilty to financing the enemy i don't think you should just walk with a fine that's not final let's kill. on june sixteenth one thousand forty one we had a graduation party at school and the war broke out. the shops were always full of goods. in september

leningrad was blocked. one day mom went to europe saw that all the shelves were empty. in november the. warehouses it was the main storage place for all the food in the city people eating the earth because it had small traces of sugar in it i tried to eat it as well but i couldn't. move was incredibly heavy bombing. it was a direct hit on that very shelter and everyone was buried under me and. all of them would. kill.

i'm. breaking news on our team policemen under vicious attack from hordes of anti-government protesters in the ukrainian capital where buses have been burned during street battles. the international criminal court may soon see top british military officials on the dock for the first time in history over accusations of war crimes committed by troops during the iraq war. a price worth paying vladimir putin speaks about the record breaking cost of the sochi olympics ball dispelling fears over safety and security of those attending. the reforms i'm proposing today should give the american people greater confidence that their rights are being protected for forms didn't inspire confidence on top.
