u.s. invasion in two thousand and three was the force that shattered this nation and it's been hard to imagine how it was going to be put back together in any meaningful way since then you had even someone like then senator joe biden now the vice president suggesting some years ago that the country should be divided in three that you have a sunni section a shiite section and a kurdish section and it seems to be moving in that direction. kerry can keep across what's developing in iraq by heading to our web site our team com where. cause. trouble. residents have fled down skinny's to crane were woken overnight to see the sky lit by what they claim were incendiary bombs dropped on their city and that is a weapon banned by the un and king of denies its use slowdowns and industrial city

haven't got any ammunition nothing we were sleeping on the ground because we didn't even have camps they just sent us there and forgot about us and while all the generals and commanders were sitting pretty in the a warmth and guarded by the u.s. they p.c.'s who were sent to fight like cannon fodder which fish. so teach us we haven't been paid with our own six hundred or so right over here two months ago and sit we didn't have any food instead they've been feeding us with promises that it's going to happen tomorrow which we are tired of with the. moscow plans to submit a draft resolution in ukraine to the un security council the paper calls for a halt to the violence in the east of the country. and for the return to the road map for selling the conflict agreed to in geneva a month ago the russian foreign minister says the anti-government forces are ready to compromise but it's clear that must take the first step there is a closer look at the crisis in today's edition of worlds apart here on our team

international. i know that you just returned from ukraine does it feel like a whole new country compared to the previous times you visited it no i think that would be overstating the fact it is true that there is a great deal of hope among some that this is a fresh start but equally people's memories are longer than seven or eight years and for many it's just the same old thing one oligarchy has effectively replaced another. while america wants to feed the world with genetically modified foods the e.u. has a to reservations its environment council has just approved giving member states the right to limit or completely ban the production of g.m. crops the move still has to be given a green light by the european parliament but authorities peter all over reports the public's answer to gmo is a firm no countries like germany we've seen

a massive outcry against didn't execute modified things people preferring to show that it's organic stores like the one behind me now the reasons they've given for they saw several most notably health reasons people who grew up against g.m.o. foods are saying that there's not enough research on the fact the research hasn't even being done one other concern revolves around trade in genetically modified foods at the end of june we're going to see that they go see a shins on the new transatlantic trade and then this policy getting into full swing t t as it's known. well its critics say this could allow american companies to pass off g.m.o. food stamps with felt having to let europeans know they say that they will the standards of food in the united states just up to scratch with days in europe now

we have seen bombs in the past just recently bought pools from the united states so they would go to be allowed to be imported into europe so it does seem that when it comes to the general public in europe they didn't g.m.o. a resoundingly no. the greatest concern over genetically modified food is its impact on people's health possible consequences have been actively studied and for a long time in fact research shows that laboratory crops can do harm to a number of internal organs as well as cause cancer allergy learning disorders but while europe as waking up to the danger china has already taken a much more robust stance as i say cesky discussed with harvey. seem to be proud of putting their own corn into the market and the reason for that is because the chinese no longer want to buy the american corn in fact if we put it into numbers and we can see that the the sales and the import has dropped significantly this

year china already rejected one twenty five million tons of corn the wall street journal put it into money and said that american trading companies lost more than half a billion dollars already we need to mention that china has been the one of the biggest buyers of american corn over the years five million tons per year and the third largest importer and this year the sales of american corn to china dropped by eighty five percent and this is all over the fact they don't want g.m. food now presumably this is because the public are demanding this is well i mean they are the consumers of the rule indeed the main reason cited is that the corn has been genetically modified the chinese government revealed it by what we spoke to an expert from tokyo research on agriculture and he told us that this may be a very very good move for china the chinese consumers actually getting more sophisticated they're getting more quality consumers so they're looking for value and for emotional value actually in products if you buy

a strawberry drupal in china and it mimics the fragrance and the looks of strobridge or what but there's no strawberry in it and it has no ethical emotional value to the consumer and as you know china rising middle class in china is very conscious of. wants to buy. there could be a great spin to that we recently had a statement from the russian prime minister that russia also wants to sort of abstain from buying genetically modified products and it has enough soil and off capacities and enough capabilities of growing its own natural food so in the north of china where i was i heard an opinion that this may be a good sort of point in time for russia and china to trade but to come in corn and other grain production as well so when i was maybe it will be russian corn in the chinese markets and out resilient for workers before team football world cup but this by transport the world cup fever is everywhere and intoxicating as we

narrative is with regard to the work that the cia is doing all these reports about drone strikes edward snowden's revelations about the u.s. government and i'm playing on civil liberties all of this is not to john brennan's life his mission is to restore the public's trust and not only of the american public but also of the public globally foreign governments are becoming embarrassed of their cooperation with the cia because of the bad perceptions that are out there and that worries john brennan have been dismayed at the narrative seems to be skewed. the narrative maybe. after nine eleven a lot of trust was put in the cia then as the director said one the other way he obviously did not focus on how the agency managed to squander that trust either by providing flawed intelligence on weapons of mass destruction in iraq or maybe due to the drone operations which reportedly kill more civilians than terrorists or due to how the agency managed to miss the boston marathon bombers even though they had

the warnings john but it was not there to talk specifics journalists were not allowed to ask questions only the participants of the conference and those were scholars georgetown foreign service students intelligence professionals the questions that john brennan received where a very general character and this was the first cia conference on national security by the way they were not allowed to film anybody in the audience the cia has just launched this twitter account and all of this is a result of john brennan deciding to engage in more public appearances to fix the tarnished image of the agency. while the image conscious intelligence community tries to fan its ways and means activists have launched a new campaign to support whistleblowers being hounded by the authorities and it's backed by berlin's courage group which provides legal aid to edward snowden while r.t. spoke to some of the organizers the reality of the situation is that we don't live in an ideal world and we need to support people who bring out seriously

uncomfortable truths so we have the reforms in the united states that allow people to come and talk about real serious abuses of power about fraud waste and abuse we need organizations like courage to be able to support people where the state has fallen short and unfortunately in the united states those united states have really fallen short for edward snowden i think anyone that speaks streets to power whether it's a whistleblower a journalist or a publisher. that those are heroic acts and they should be supported there are many whistle blows that are examples of how the united states treats trees teles and it is they basically persecute them and that is what they have done with that with snowden you could see it last year when they doubt the president's plane trying to find him so i think that the united states has a long way to go in protecting truth tell us is they should. now if you look at some other stories from around the world and suicide bombing near

a bad day i might say well that is their business but all the liberals in the e.u. just constantly cry from their ivory tower to the whole world about how we all need to be tolerant and be taxed to death to help people but as a guy who grew up in a bad neighborhood i can tell you that liberals never want to live near the people they claim to want to help you know henry ford was one of those guys who said that you should never give anybody any handouts so what he did was give the disabled and the poor a decent paying jobs at his factory so listen up you liberal loony bin if you want to get those evil yucky print for people off the streets just put them to work it will read your city of its homeless problem a lot faster than spikes will but that's just my opinion. there's a new immigrant who's got a polygamous family i'm looking for a woman who understands me anyway and i want her to share my goal of saving our people from extinction. you know that i had to found my originals and she
