cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. a. little. clip on your poll showing the moment a lie should be made community college face time sometimes you don't own. a pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm researcher.

the baltic is one of the most polluted seas in the world. and some of the species they catch there have become toxic contaminating the pellets but also the entire food chain. in sweden i have an appointment with jen isaacson he's a greenpeace activist. he brings me to fish up to buy fish caught in the region. so i'd like some herring and salmon some. but before selling them to us the fishmonger is going to say something rather surprising she's warning us about her own merchandise it's not there in front of me says for securing you should be careful and not very much. more than in the most class and it's the same thing with you. and if you're pregnant you shouldn't eat the fish from the baltic at all. if she gives this warning it is thanks to the work of jan in the swedish

government which has started giving public health warnings against eating baltic fish especially fatty fish like salmon or herring. fish it contains higher levels so dioxides and its one of the most powerful toxic pollutants. that we know today and extremely low levels all else and it's going to have a face on your home a form of systems that's. close counselor. to find the source of this pollution we don't have to look very far. so this is a let's try on this morning road. just an hour's drive outside of stockholm to this chemical plant which turns swedish trees into paper. paper mills like this is historically one of the main sources of. pollution so.

it's quite natural to find it's in here and high concentrations here. these chemicals then move up the food chain. the more fatty the fish the more the pollutants are absorbed into the flesh some such as pesticides or p.c.-b.s.d. are never eliminated and are called persistent organic pollutants. moving up the food chain they concentrate more and more in the fatty tissues. at the end of the chain a kilo of tuna or salmon is much more toxic than a kilo of small fish. consequently some fatty fish from the baltic have become unfit for consumption. so they are harder to find on the consumer's plate. so they find themselves in heavy demand in

the market for making dry pellet fish feed. and that's where the toxicity builds up . back to in the dry pellet feed plant. to process the fed fish finials and cooks them in these large ovens. at the end of the line he obtains two very different products firstly protein powder and second place fish oil. these two ingredients are used to come up with the finished product and each of them in their own way will contribute to the contamination of the pellets. let's begin with the oil. by concentrating in the fatty parts it accelerates the buildup of the pollutants. this is why farmed fish are more susceptible than wild fish. protein powders in turn pose another problem even worse. it's at the

end of the line that i find it in this large chemical container. the antioxidant ends up in the protein powder here. it's called a fox and. it talks a q a product the fin nielsen uses extensively but apparently he doesn't know anything about. what is it used for what happens if you don't. i don't know what it is i just know i have to put it in. why is this mysterious chemicals used and does it pose a threat to consumers. this is the story of one of the best kept secrets of the food processing industry. at first glance a toxic ian has no place in

a food factory. the product was registered in one thousand nine hundred nine by monsanto the giant u.s. chemical company in the category of pesticides. it was used to treat rubber but also fruits and vegetables. its use is strictly regulated and limited. what is it doing in fish feed. the answer can be found in switzerland in geneva in this anti-fraud laboratory. two years ago patrick edgar and d.d. or telly were surprised to find a toxic teen in the flesh of farmed fish in extremely high levels. well above the fifty micrograms per kilogram permitted in foodstuffs. a reference value is fifty so we're looking at this level. and will see that in our

fish the measurements are ten to twenty times more than the standard because concentrations are between five hundred and eight hundred or nearly a thousand micrograms per kilogram have been found. so they're extremely higher than the norm so they're a lot higher than the norm we don't see that in wild fish this is logical since they're not fed fish we are on the other hand all the fish coming from the aquaculture industry and so are contaminated with. before them nobody had ever thought to look for a toxic eating fish and for good reason the product is supposed to protect fruits and vegetables but meal manufacturers have found another use for it. i don't know in fact put into the fish meal which prevents the fat much at present from becoming rancid that's ensuring the quality of the us the problem is that the manufacturers of the dry meal pellets did not notify the health authorities of the change in use

. the result that toxic in levels are strictly controlled in fruits and vegetables and even meat but not in fish. is paradoxical that there are standards set for cattle and chickens but no standards for fish even more so you can find a standard set for kangaroos for reptiles but none at all for fish. and patrick enter. made an even stranger discovery. the effects of a toxic keen on human health of actually never been evaluated by the s k the european food safety agency. the milk and a lot of things are missing or you took a hard look at the resort concerning long term toxicity and aspects related to cancer and no valid studies have been submitted concerning the levels of toxicity in reproduction or fetal development sure you did look no valid studies have been submitted on neuro toxicity in this is it the you know after all e.f.-s. a could not even establish any acceptable daily intake level because it claims it

was not able to calculate it due to insufficient data she sits if such a substance is to be introduced to the market place it certainly shouldn't have been done using such weak study it is good to see for. only one serious study has been published it comes from a norwegian researcher. not that we have found almost nothing is it except it is this this which was written in norway. i decided to track down this researcher. she defended her thesis in bergen and western norway in this state research institute the n i f e s however since then she has lost her job there so i found her at home. working with a toxic in victoria bone at first discovered that nobody not even the manufacturer monsanto had any idea of the effects of this chemical on human health.

i think but no one asked if it was a safe product say it's false they just assumed that it wouldn't pose a problem and that's not the case now being investigated no. that's crazy you're not supposed to put something off we've got to do this to. yes. after several years of work she made six major discoveries concerning this product each one more disturbing than the others. if they go through the i discovered that the foxy quinn has the power to cause the blood brain barrier to know about. this barrier has a very important function. that it exists as a physical means to protect the brain from talk six substances. bear for.

ticks or a substance is no foreign substance to the human body is supposed to be able to pass through it into the brain this is. yes so that's really yes. of course and this is covered should have been published as quickly as possible so that's possible yes. every day opinion brain contamination but also probable carcinogenic of facts. the problem is that over the last few years victoria bone hasn't been able to publish any of her results in a scientific journal. you know me. because i no longer employed at the institute i lost my status as a researcher and suddenly i didn't have the right to publish my scientific research . at the end of her thesis despite her many discoveries victoria bone had

indeed left the state research institute. voluntarily. but i was about to discover that the reality was a bit different from the official version. because i because i finally decided that i no longer wanted to deal with this question anymore father having this family what you have to say you have six for vacation ready you seem like you want to publish. this infrastructure. do you like. if you take that out then they can talk just about this. off camera victoria boom confirms that she had been pressured and there were even some attempts to falsify some of her results. in the hope of finding a job and one day publishing her research she chose not to denounce these practices

in the media. but others have done so before her because she was not the first to been forced out. in two thousand and six this woman. also a researcher at the end i f e s had also measured the presence of hazardous substances in salmon. in a norwegian newspaper she had accused her superiors and the ministry of fisheries of pressuring her and falsifying her findings. i marinate join me. for in-depth impartial and financial reporting commentary

interviews and much much. only on the bus and. in justifying their stance they're citing all sorts of what they see as international press a dance in a cost of what they are coming referendum in scotland but the response that they're hearing from the one thing is that what you're saying is illegitimate but what we've been doing is still full of life the measure if you break into their still good luck america does is right. for other people for centuries like russia or countries like australia. but whatever america does is right because america doesn't.

amount to martin the stories we cover here not going here in iraq other big story extra headlines same talk there's a reason they don't want to. raise that. now let's break the set. your friend posts a photo from a vacation you can't afford college to different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still tends to rejection poetry keep can't ignore it. we post only what really matters i don't see your facebook news feed. four years ago research funding for a toxic enough was cut by the norwegian ministry official res. and according to kurt this decision may have been made under pressure from the minister of fisheries

herself. she is also too author of the food security system that's controlling to feed the fish from the sea sis and that she controlled still food authorities she controls all things that has to do with fish for me in norway and she uses her powar in a bad manner so she gives them soda to take down his fish is deceased take a don't for one to two so he can sell the fish oil lose money you have to sell the fish so they sell their fish that's in fact that and then i'm sick and that's never been before she is a rotten piece of and this story. to verify these accusations i decided to speak with this minister. in brussels in the aisles of a trade show i have an appointment with her for a five minute interview but the time allotted to me will be much shorter.

to put a new face he said you're trying to do some research about the substance call it toxic read it but this it will have the money to do it for you to fund some research about the toxic we. don't know. and very little i mean we're here to the phoenix mission. was. quickly the communications officer puts an end to the interview with me i'm sorry. electrician that. liberals look at look there he takes. the minister does not wish to talk about the toxic. she claims to know nothing about it my question. however if we take the time to check her c.v. which is posted on the ministry's website we learn that she worked for four years

as a consultant for e.w. o.-s. the world leader in dr fishmeal pellets just before being hired as a consultant to the ministry of fisheries. since then she has held dozens of jobs in the salmon industry and has even led one of the main lobbies the f.h.l. professional union and according to kurt. there is still some missing information from her impressive c.v. . for the management authorities have their own interests in fish for me she's only eight percent of a big fish farm and her director is only twenty percent of another fish farm so this is what we call corruption and this is like the italian mafia. the accusation may be outrageous but the facts are there hidden by a simple financial arrangement it was enough for me to examine the records of this company called j m j invest. the minister is the major shareholder.

and j m j invest actually possesses more than ten percent of a major norwegian salmon farm of which several other shareholders are members of the minister's family. toxic fish researchers muzzled a minister with a conflict of interest i left norway a little surprised by what i had just learned. but my investigation is not quite finished yet. i still have to discover how these fish sometimes make it to our plates without us even knowing. all it takes is for a manufacturer to decide to discreetly mislabel a product exactly as what happened in the horsemeat scandal. in blown so mail the main french fishing port some companies are not happy just

selling fish. they also produce a product totally unknown to consumers which are widely used in prepared dishes. this day a shipment of cod from the baltic arrives on one side the phillies are piling up on the other the waste which will not last. the season what are you for living here is a small college. who sells all works for a company specializing in the processing of fish waste field office that up for you so what is the cotton that has been removed in this case it's a cod or you see that there's still a lot of flesh that can be extracted by pumping for use in processed foods such as riette for example of the like. so it gives added value to what was previously regarded as waste only a few years ago. and today it's become a highly valued resource. if you think. highly

valued and most importantly not very expensive these remains which are processed into our prepared meals are bought by loose for less than fifteen cents a kilo. some of them are loaded into these refrigerated containers others go directly into these dump trucks and are transported to this plant where nothing is lost. firstly the fish skins are recovered for use in the cosmetic industry. as to the heads and the flesh that remains attached to the bones they are sent to be processed in this workshop. but when we arrived all of the machines had been turned off. even though it's pretty clear that they had recently been in use but just before our visit to. boss of the plant ordered the production line to be shut down . so if the workshop for sage's doesn't bother him he's just afraid

that consumers would be shocked if they saw what the pulp looks like. we still managed to film what the boss wanted to avoid being shown with a hidden camera in another workshop. it's of this pope machine in action crushing the waist and extracting the shapeless mash and not very appetizing substance which is called the pulp. once washed here's what the finished product looks like this one was made from the remains of a fatty fish truck. what can that be used for for example it's usually used in prepared meals but also in a lot of pet foods in what. what is any form for feeding dogs and cats. the advantage of this product is first and foremost it's

price the pope sells for around one year or thirty per kilo ten times cheaper than a fish delay so it's really in demand for food manufacturers especially since they're not required to indicate on their products labels that they contain paul. a plant which makes prepared meals in western france. this morning fraud control teams make a surprise inspection. so mr emerick head of the social protection department hello welcome. joe michel and he came to inspect the stocks of this famous brand food processing company and this cotton potato pie he wants to check its composition. so. this is the list of ingredients you have for water cod twenty percent made up exclusively of cod and salt so the professionals job is to determine if there is

indeed twenty three percent of the pure product in this musical jury. to determine just how much your product in a manner of speaking when a prepared meal is labeled for example made with cod without adding the words fish for lay it is usually made with pulp. but. when you cut off the edges and you take sample pieces from the middle. zone michelle emily wants to check that the composition of the pulp block corresponds to what is indicated on the label on. the roof over your shoulder for so here we have a block of fish fish suitable you're just going to compress because it's a frozen product so obviously it's easier to hide other fish species you know despite mixing them in with the cod and it would be if they were presented as phillip's to deploy a song of good will specific until today. after the horsemeat scandal fish is also in the sights of the fraud control department.

the samples are sent for d.n.a. analysis to the must say national analysis laboratory led by funded excel to. thank you thank them to find fish is a long and complex process. according to a recent u.s. study one out of three fish labels is misleading and that's the case with our hopes and good or dispense. it says there are several things into your chosen. so this shows there's a part of pacific cod what we do and there are three parts of alaskan politics is as we see here on the alaskan pollock comparison you can get it also roughly speaking we have pacific cod and alaskan halakhah yes but alaskan pollock hasn't. you mention it as an ingredient you know so that's illegal says it you know no money it's an anomaly if i could have often had to have the professional explain the possible origin of the alaskan pollock in the pulp of this raw material.

shouldn't exclude the possibility of the accidental origin of the fish or simply the fact that alaskan pollock is cheaper than the pacific cod which could be a case of fraud. and you also have another kind of possible fraud which would be passing off the farmed fish as a wild was also wash. in place of cause. in pulp species substitutions are much more frequent and pose a problem of traceability. today the entire fish industry may be affected by these health concerns. so much so that some health professionals are completely changing their viewpoints concerning fish. we say as an oncologist today he is hosting an awareness raising workshop on the causes of cancer for these women all of whom are affected by the disease. our goal is not to go after the guilty parties

but rather to take measures that will help prevent recurrence. and among the many causes that may lead to cancer fish has become one of his concerns. for the simple advice don't eat much big fish like salmon or tuna you know if not more than once or twice a month if you should eat small fish rich an omega three so if possible for someone who has breast cancer i would recommend small fish but the person. eating fish may affect my health is that what you're saying yes yes before it was good because it's measurable constituents that you know make a three piece in particular and vitamin d. that you weren't given a sitting full of cod liver oil going to childhood for nothing because it was rich in vitamin d. and. it was beneficial to your health that it enabled but suddenly we find fish that is full of pesticides and mercury and if it's fish from finland we know that

there is a lot of radioactivity still twenty years after chernobyl so it's fish that shouldn't eat and it's fish that's full of radioactivity mercury had heavy metals p.c.-b.s.d. dioxins etc etc it's just not the same anymore so the message has to be different because unfortunately things have changed. for thirty years the french health authorities had encouraged unlimited fish consumption. this summer they lowered their recommendations. no more than two servings of fish per week one way to prevent or anticipate what could be our next food scandal. clean more zero casualties war this is the great fantasy of warmongering

politicians. capturing people is this see what he did if they're innocent killing them easy we were serve the right to kill any person anywhere any time. they couldn't do that in the sixteen but they can be trained to not smoke makes these things sort of heard and politicians get a new kind of power via this technology sad is very tempting. right from the scene. of the first street. and i think that your. orders. and instal.

to be in the. israel announcing a complete withdrawal of troops from gaza as a new three day cease fire takes hold. kiev reportedly massing military hardware around east ukraine's industrial we look at how civilians there spend their days in basements fearing a possible all out assault. american officials slam a covert u.s. the idea going to rest in cuba under the guise of a beneficial health program.
