i think she was looking for a better life there were building a house together our brothers gave us land we had so many plans we planted trees there we wanted to do so much we had so much planned for the future and suddenly this happened. all these stories are tragically familiar how does that add to the who leads the search for missing people says that the real number of families in fact it is catastrophic she says their database comprises over two thousand people which was thank you least i feel irritated when i hear people say you're saving terrorists i'm deeply disturbed by that was what is this child's fault what's the fault of these children only the fact that their parents took them and they became victims of this war when you start to deal with this problem you understand these are human lives we're talking about and they are all our citizens it's easy to just ignore these people there are only two official employees working on this office

the others are volunteers that help when there is time as there is not enough manpower to deal with the vast amount of people affected and every second counts we can't afford to lose time every minute cost the lives of one or two children says average began to reunite families nine planes have a right back in russia carrying a little over one hundred people just a fraction of the thousands stranded and the war torn region. reporting from russia's republic of chechnya. it was part three of medina's report you can see the other two in the right now on earth are you tube page the third will be up for a shortly chemical giant monsanto it's in focus next on watching the hawks here but here a large international. greetings

and salutations the future of the controversial agro chemical giant monsanto hangs in the balance this week watchers as the very first trial over the alleged cancer causing chemicals and sondos weed killer roundup heads out of the courtroom and into the jury room and a true david versus goliath style story monsanto is sweating out a jury's decision all thanks to one school grounds keeper forty six year old dwayne johnson johnson is suing monsanto after being diagnosed with the debilitating and fatal non hodgkins lymphoma which he believes was cause for being exposed to the

glycine paid found in round up and it's professional grade equivalent ranger pro now while the world health organization declared glycine bay does that as possibly a carcinogen to human beings back in two thousand and fifteen here in the united states our very own environmental protection agency decreed the chemical is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans the san francisco chronicle reports that johnson's case is the first of about four thousand nationwide to go to trial against monsanto now a subsidiary of bayer and that if the jury finds monsanto responsible for johnson's cancer the two sides have agreed that he should receive two point five to three million in damages for lost wages medical expenses and other costs but that figure doesn't include the potential punitive damages which could reach four hundred million or more if the jury finds monsanto was recklessly or intentionally causing harm which johnson's lawyers believe they were by not putting warning labels on the product and actively fighting against any research that proves that lives of faith

was it in. carcinogenic so will simple groundskeeper be the for the takes down the corporate titans let's find out as we start watching the hawks. get the. real thing this would. be the bottom. like you that i got. this. week so i. welcome everybody to watching the ark story i rolled with her and that time of the lesson joining us now to discuss the trial and the case against month santo while we await the jury's decision is one of the attorneys fighting for mr johnson author and environmental lawyer mr robert

kennedy jr thank you for joining us sir. thanks for having me it's always a pleasure robert mellow the cases with the jury i want to start by asking you how are you feeling about your chances i mean taking on a corporate conglomerate of months those size and resources can no way be easy how are you feeling. well i'm on the edge of my seat because we're waiting for a jury verdict and that's all it is hardest time for attorneys who are involved in the case. but i feel good about the case i feel the jury really listened to us and they were attentive and you know as long as we've been here it's and june eighteenth. and i think that either way that we did a really good job of arguing the case and that we have if the case does go against we have ample reason for appeal there were

a lot of controversial. all rulings by the judge in this case we believe unfairly favored monsanto and we we believe we're going to win the case but if we go we will immediately appeal what do you think was discovered or exposed in the trial about month center that people need to know because i think there's so much information about them out there both positive and negative because there's such a good job that lobbyists and these people have done to sort of cover up this thing that's right in front of everybody's eyes what do you think this case really exposed about months after that people really really have to know well you know a lot of the the information. that we god in discovery which is really critical information for people to know about did not make it into the trial but some of it did and some of it was information that the public has never seen before including secret memos from the man who was running

e.p.a.'s pesticide division jess rowland to his handlers at monsanto telling them that and that he was going to kill studies for the. memos internal memos and monsanto talk about those writing studies that he a relied upon so monsanto was doing a number of things one it had the head of that as a division that he had a on its team for many years guarding its interests with many be a making sure there were no studies of its cars and genocide and protecting them against bad information and it was also had a number of scientists on its payroll and it was actually authorizing studies and get paying the scientists some of them very famous scientists to sign those studies which monsanto had written and santo was also actively trying to kill

studies which it succeeded in doing and. originally e.p.a. back in the eighty's made the finding that roundup was indeed cars and. and on santo twisted e.p.a.'s arm got them to back off that based upon one study where e.p.a. a number of my in the study and the control group at cancer or not. none of the study lights in the control group got cancer and four or five out of the fifty and the study group in other words the exposed group had gotten cancer and monsanto paid a scientist. a lot of money to go in and say that he had found a cancer in the control group and that caused the be a to throw out that you don't believe he found that tumor nobody ever saw it and the e.p.a. then ordered monsanto to redo the study and thirty years that's ever been. oh

you know months ago that was a lot of bad behavior by monsanto and we got a we got a wealth of internal memos from the companies that were seen by this jury many that were not. in our other trials mostly so one thing that's interesting is going johnson what what was so unique about your client's case that that allowed you to finally be able to take it to trial with his case oh we could have taken any of our case to trial it was an urgency with dwayne which is that he is not expected to live through next year and so we really want to do we want a jury to see if he is a very charming charisma addict and he. he has a very inspiring life if he came from extreme poverty and really he's been extraordinarily hard worker as a strong work ethic he has a great sense of humor is a wonderful story is

a beaut wonderful father. and it was it was a good gauge for us one of the most important things and wayne's case is when he started getting this in the lesion this is he started getting a rash from the from the areas where he had been exposed to round up he was a school groundskeeper it was spraying the round up on the school grounds in order to kill the weeds he was worried about it he actually wore a tie vex and wore a mask but it couldn't protect them because they were just all much roundup coming out of the air and his body on sundays would literally be dragged and he began to get these rashes and he called the calm. but and he said do i need to worry about this as you know is there anything you could harm me because the company had told him it's safe enough to drink and he started getting the rashes and he was worried and the company said we'll get back to you but they never called him back and he

called them twice and as then is. rashes turned to positive lighting lesions and covered his entire body and he again called the company and said you know this is happening to me spoke to a person answering the phone can you get somebody to call me and they said we're going to have dr goldstein our internal doctor call you back they gave the message to colds and you never called him back. that was you know i think it was important for the jury to hear that because they really you know it showed how much contempt this company has for its customers that the company by the way at the time the international agency for cancer research had had made the pronouncement that life is a. the active ingredient roundup does called cause probably causes hodgkin's lymphoma so when he called with this problem. after goldstein the internal doctor.

already knew it does cause cancer and he and he failed to call dwayne back and wayne continued to spray round up. and that's one of those things that i think the one thing about mr johnson you know as he said as a person and as in this case is that he is one of many there are a lot of and i most of my family grew up watching them work in jobs janitorial groundskeeping in factories they were covered in these chemicals and now a large undue majority of them are suffering from cancers and skin issues that we don't see and i think that's an entire generation of working class americans who have banned and you know been put in. being poisoned by these essentially poisoned by these chemicals in order to make a living now let me ask i mean one of the one of the things that is that. most of our clients are either home gardeners or their professional applicators they used

to live as the non hodgkins lymphoma is an epidemic in the farming communities of those four attorneys are much more difficult cases to bring because there are cofounders which means there are most of those farmers were not exclusively spraying life to say they were using all almost of chemicals over many many years and it's very hard to make the case that it was that life is a cause their cancer so you know there's probably many many more people affected. those cases are much more difficult to bring and of course every american now is at your age with life to say you know what mother's breast milk in this country contains it in the last ten year last really seven or eight years the use of roundup has changed dramatically because. monsanto told farmers you

not only can use this to spray on the ground to kill that we would threaten your crops but also when your crops are ready for a harvest you should spray it directly on the crops because it dries them out and it makes it easier to harvest them now all the corn and although we know the bread that we eat in this country is loaded with life as we know we know what it is we know it's a key later so it robs your body of minerals it's an endocrine disruptors so it interferes with sexual development and children and causes as carriage it's a it's a carson age and just with hodgkin's lymphoma but there are studies out there that connected very very very closely to fatty alcoholic addie live your liver cancer which is now exploding in this country even ten year old kids are now being affected by it it's in all the cereal the children eat it interferes with the

micro biome in the earth and that causes blant brain inflammation and it depletes zinc in your system which raises copper levels and that you know all the autism epidemic and it's really it's a very very ad chemical it totally is and i got to say robert you know thank you so much for work and means trials and trying to hold me accountable and get something back for everybody i can't thank you enough for coming on today thank you again for all of your work. thank you very much for having me back to iowa and say hi to your dad for. thank you mr. ard as we go to break off watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics are covered on facebook and twitter it's your poll shows that are to dot com coming up our own tabitha wallace takes on her fellow wisconsinites paul ryan over women's right not to have a family or kids then there's something unique in the. expected outcome of the war or the whims of serial states who are watching the whole.

world. and. this is my blog i like the show what the united kingdom i'm learning and the a lot of it because it's shambolic and struggling. and i but he got it because the balance tells us that the people have to live the tribe i.r.b.m.

. the population of the world from one thousand nine hundred sixty than one thousand and ninety nine with a six billion human born on october twelfth one thousand nine hundred nine one thousand years later the human race has added oh another one point six billion people to the planet and nine hundred seventy five the united states is greatly alarmed of the fact that young women were simply not having has many children as previous generations as women entered college put off marriage and generally live their lives without succumbing to societal pressure or. broken record however the media made a point to separate what they called illegitimate births those out of wedlock and legitimate birth those born under the same duty of a marriage license what that meant to children. mike myself of the seventy's

is that we grew up with independently spirited mother onto urged us to decide for ourselves if having children was right for us while knowing that if we had babies out of wedlock or not at all we would be shot. now here we sit educated independent women who are making the very informed choice to not have children of our own but some people aren't so happy that we ladies are we're taught to think for ourselves and set of popping out a tax base speaker of the u.s. house of representatives paul ryan thinks that women like me just aren't doing our patriotic duty people this is going to be the new economic challenge for america people baby boomers are retiring i did my part but but you know we need to have higher birth rates in this country meaning they divorce retiring and we have fewer

people falling in the workforce. that's right women know your place and get to make a gabble isn't as indentured servants of the future slug let's look at the numbers here according to the u.s. census bureau as of july fourth twenty thousand the u.s. population was about three hundred twenty eight million fifty four thousand eight hundred ninety two people we average one birth every eight seconds about one death every twelve seconds and one international immigrant every twenty nine seconds giving the united states and that gain of one person every twelve seconds which is averages out to a net gain in the population of about seven hundred seventy five hundred eighty eight people per day or about two point seven million people per year which comes out to a growth rate of under one percent the advances in contraceptives and the increased access to women's health services men women in the late seventy's and early eighty's were able to plan for having families much more efficiently and later in life according to the national center for health statistics in one thousand nine

hundred eighty the average age of the first time mothers was between eighteen and twenty four with very few women having children after the age of thirty however by twenty sixteen that has changed dramatically with first time mothers it's twenty to thirty four but those averages can be monumentally deceiving remember that picture of me right there as a little girl well if i had stayed in my home town statistics say i probably wouldn't be here talking to you that's right so the average age of first time mothers in new york los angeles and washington d.c. is between twenty nine and thirty one but the average age of first time mothers in my small rural wisconsin town was and is twenty with seventy six percent of area women having all of their children between twenty and twenty four but if you go to places like san francisco the average age of first time mothers now is thirty five it's. actually paul ryan's claim that more americans having babies will fix the

economy it sort of borders on eugenics and ignores the the very legitimate and downright responsible reasons people are having as many babies these days here in america adults of childbearing age in the us are strapped with student loan debt which makes affording the twenty thousand or so dollars it currently cost just to give birth to a child nearly impossible not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars it cost to raise them there are at least half a million kids in the country who are the child care system right now who already made parents and eleven percent of millennial to have fertility problems that are wildly expensive to overcome and while the list of reasons is long ever so long it's unnecessary pheno woman has to have a reason for not having children women are not cattle men are not pollinators we don't graze of the fields until the end of use to procreate with a good in the nation and politicians who choose to go down this handmaid's tale

adjacent passed up bed decades of good and important social change for women will find themselves on the losing end of a ballot. who wow that is incredible i though those. i'm going away. paul ryan clipper rome makes me throw up a little in the back of my door this is why don't you here you have a party that says oh we're all about individual freedom and small government but you're not allowed to have the individual freedom to choose whether you want kids or not because we need you to the government. would be ridiculous if you break down what they're trying to say i know one of the things i think that i do want to get out as that also this week is this is all happening because there's been this sort of push now it's like i want to go babies or not having a baby or baby is. always progress of.

the laura ingram a. couple of days ago has had mentioned something very similar about this baby thing and it's a massive demographic changes have been forced upon the american people and there are changes that none of us ever voted for and must most of us don't like from virginia to california we see stark examples of how radically the country has changed that much of this is related to both illegal and in some cases illegal immigration that of course progressives love. for those of you who don't have a laura ingraham translator what she's trying to say is and what i think paul ryan is trying to say is we more white middle class. we need to know many of the yes it looks different it's a it's a total disturbing. but mindset to have and also you know women are just cattle for the tax base and and you know i thought it was yours and i thought you made the good point too is of this also you know for men out there who are mediately want to jump on the women and what about my right well their use of you was pollinators

there i thought it was a really good point that you made right there and what's interesting is many scientists believe that the current reduction in birth rates is simply basically part of the natural cycle of overpopulation and that rection the baby boom was a boom but now those babies are retiring and need care and us politicians would rather push this kind of birth increases the natural immigration of people moving around but science major is this beautiful ecosystem if suddenly it decides ok there's too many people on this earth it's going to correct itself but you see that in every other spear on the planet except for our own at times yeah and it's also been smart enough i think i must have these days are kids i mean we look around the world and most of us who are child able to have children child bearing age as you say look to every ten seconds a child dies of hunger after death how for the deaths of children under out if you guys are that under five are from malnutrition ok researchers estimate that between

five point five million people die from ninety five to two thousand and two as a result of just thirteen wars in just thirteen countries ok and it just gets more and more it's like twenty fourteen there were one hundred eighty thousand fatalities and forty two active conflicts it goes on and off every twenty sixteen ten point four million people around the world got t.v. they gave one point seven million deaths worldwide we don't need more babies we need to take care of the people we have so that people can have healthy families can afford to give them a right life because that's the reason i didn't have kids because i did not have the money to give them the health care and the life i felt they deserved as i agree the most people that's the reason that they and less there's some other physical reason to be done most people is. i can't afford to provide for this child i want to love my child one will provide if i can't do that so i'm saddled with debt and i don't have universal health care or some version of it what can i do well sorry paul that doesn't work that way doesn't work that way if you do things i mean i was

lucky you know my family have a big extended family as you can see now those are a fixture but everybody has vertigo the answer i got are but my point is like we all have these different roles to play and now at some woman said something about it takes a village and i think we all have to be that village for all of us and take care of everybody to think. despite what you have not heard and most of the see there is actually an international catastrophe taking place in the country of yemen being perpetrated in a very large part by a saudi arabian led coalition backed by the united states military hardware logistics shocking i know and this week's tragedy has yet again hit the streets of yemen as a school bus filled with civilian schoolchildren were was destroyed by coalition forces killing as many as twenty nine kids according to the international committee of the red cross are to use death as the story. most of the victims of the

attack are said to be children under the age of ten saudi in the airstrikes targeted them as their school bus drove through a marketplace a warning these images may be disturbing the latest figures say fifty were killed and seventy seven injured that number may go up as casualties continue to be delivered to the hospital the strikes were inside the province in the north west of yemen an area under whose the rebel control the saudi led coalition issued a statement saying the attack was in accordance with international law and accused who the rebels of using children as human shields this attack comes days after the saudi led coalition bombed a fish market in the data port and damaged the city's main hospital that attacked a. more than forty civilians and injured one hundred among them women and children it's the fortieth month of the war that began back in march of two thousand and fifteen reports say as many as fifty thousand people have been killed nearly

eighteen million yemenis that's sixty percent of the population are food insecure the world health organization estimates there are now more than one million cases of cholera and the united nations says yemen is the worst humanitarian catastrophe in the world connecticut senator chris murphy tweeted u.s. bombs u.s. targeting u.s. mid air support and we just bombed a school bus the saudi u.a.e. u.s. bombing campaign is getting more reckless killing more civilians and strengthening terrorists inside yemen we need to end this now with no immediate reaction from the white house and the united states playing a crucial role in the war on yemen this humanitarian disaster shows no signs of slowing down reporting in washington dan cohen our t.v. . during the civil war in syria it was discovered that insurgents terrorists were using underground tunnels large enough to drive cars through and eastern good which

included hospitals military headquarters and even shooting ranges all underground but when these tunnels in jobar were discovered and closed in april most didn't think it could be transformed into something good but as you can see it was serious artists are turning the tunnels into an artistic expression of the strength of the syrian people but we are learning in the remnants of contemporary war is that no matter how destructive the practice of combat is when the dust settles and people will become stronger by refusing to let those who do harm own the narrative other people and their experiences us beautiful stuff beautiful stuff are about as our show freedom to everyone remember that in this world we are told that we love this stuff so i tell you all i love you i am tire over the top quality. those talks have a great day and night everybody.
