on the defensive declaring that they will indeed be appealing the ruling scott partridge the vice president of monsanto continued to toe the company line despite the jury's ruling informing the media that the verdict doesn't change the four plus decades of safety safe use and science behind the product well a jury of your peers and apparently your internal company ml's beg to differ there scotty sorry according to ben wiser johnson's lead attorney on the case these e-mails more than likely played a huge role in the jury's decision he said quote we were finally able to show the jury this secret internal monsanto documents proving that monsanto is known for decades that roundup could cause cancer wisen or went on to note that this verdict sends a message to monsanto that it's years of deception regarding roundup is over and that they should put consumer safety first over profits. but will be bear own corporate but he would listen with literally listen only time will tell but this

jury's decision does prove how important it is to always be watching the hawks. wonder what. the. real thing is what's. the bottom. like you know i got. this. i. welcome everybody to watching the harks i am tired from turkey and with the wallace move so yeah i mean we had obviously talked about this we talked about this a long time as one of the things that's been covered a lot is months said it's not just. many things that month and that we can talk

about but specifically round up and its use and what they are legally obligated to tell people about this and i think this is what is that's the stage is that there needs to be better consumer protections yes whoever that might end up being so this financial award includes past and and future economic losses and punitive damages woman punitive damages tacked on right extra hundred millions i think the lawyers originally asked for like thirty nine million number of the you know lost wages lost wages these are like a year to live. they're saying according to his doctors johnson and has possibly months to live he may have literally just used has lost a bit of life left on him to fight the people who may have said. but yeah it looks like he had told reporters after the verdict he said i'm glad to be here to be able to help in a cause that's way bigger than me you're talking about someone who literally has probably months. live you know and stood up and fought to make sure this made in

the courts and you know we watch this with johnson and johnson and the baby powder verdict going on and they still plan time and you don't see reams through the media saying oh my gosh the stuff you're putting on your lawn could give you cancer all my gosh your baby powder could give you cancer even though courts are saying it though there are a lot of love to go out to the activists groups and alternative media because they've been the ones really bringing the dinner bell so to speak for quite a long time and it is a win for environmental cook the president of the environmental working group sudden a statement like this when some dough made round up the oxy carton of pesticides and how the addiction and damage they caused have come home to roost addiction to round up like all of this not in the late i'll take it personally sense but we are addicted as a society if not a world to using this type of pesticide yes in the united states is like many things we're addicted to things the most and i mean twenty percent of the world's life is they use is is right here in the united states which amounts to about two

hundred eighty million pounds per year of just the guy to say which is probably the world's most widely used herbicide one that has been considered a carcinogen and has been banned in many european countries and eastern european countries on around the world now says this is the open the floodgates this is because there's another round of cancer trial trial believe december that was in the way st louis thousands wore the school start in st louis and four thousand dollars four thousand similar cases are waiting to go against our good friends at monsanto. presidents who are on the edge here in washington d.c. with news of a massive gathering of white nationalist and those who oppose them it was set to hit the streets this weekend in the nation's capital on the anniversary of the tragedy of it took place in charlottesville virginia last year the last time these two. in protest of the unite the right to the stage was set the police law

enforcement were ready even the skies were set to turn dark with thunderstorms but what was supposed to be a hurricane turned out to be a whimper as just a smattering of the night the writers turned out for the protests instead of those rallying against white nationalism of fascism turned out in force with music chants and signage far dwindling that of their opposition and with fascism the buzzword of the day we talked with some of the protesters and speakers who turned out to stand against unite the right on sunday and ask them about what has been emboldening the all right why it's important to counter protest and most importantly where the political and both sides stems from let's take a listen. but i didn't have the may folks feel like they have leeway to behave in the way that they have been behaving for somebody to say that it's ok to ram a car into a group of people and kill someone who can so protest. shows that there's a feeling of i can get away with this and i think that's why it's important that we are here at lafayette park to say actually you know you're not going to get away

with it and it's not just today this has been going on since the history and and inception of america as we know it when they first landed here and claimed to discover a nation that already had indigenous folks and there's always been resistance and we're just carrying on that tradition and what do you say to the people who are saying that meeting them head on is not ok and that we should be meeting them with love and and unity and hold hands with them and be patient quote unquote with them we cannot sit down with full sue don't intend to sit down with us because they don't view us as human and we're dealing with people who don't value us and don't hold us to any dignity and i'm not just talking about black lives talk as queer phones trans folks as gnc false us folks who are different religion other the anglo christian religion and people who are brown who don't fit into this anglo-saxon blue-eyed white orientation that they have created and continue to spew as fact.

we're not saying that we're not meeting each other with love what we're saying is is that we have to organize our community and worry about folks who are ready to work to counter that we don't want to keep tapping in hating walls when we have people here who are ready to i'm here to stand up against the fascist forces that are moving in the city right now and i think it's important not to just ignore them and to make sure that there are people here who don't want that person and it's important you know the history of the good in the land a lot of that but it's hard to move forward politically if we don't understand what came before and so i think american fascism. is age old it's been here is honest and erica has been here but a lot of other beautiful things have been here as well and so i think it's about. solidarity with other people who don't agree with fascism and coming together and making something different. and i also think it's about. getting over our addiction to capitalism which keeps keeps fascism in place because it's good because when

people are divided fascism has been part of our country ever since its founding and i don't think it's going away anytime soon unless we do something about it do you feel like the the hate and vitriol on the right and on the other side is is mr rectitude and that there there may be mad about other things and pointing in the wrong direction i mean couple is the fix everyone. and is it mr recht that yes but is that division useful to the system yet so they're doing the work that they're intending to do when our work is to organize each other fascist fascist want to tell you that we can only afford fairness if we make the group smaller so you get rid of everybody who's not way and erica and that's just not true we have plenty of wealth for everybody in this country so there's a way to distribute it more fairly. through but those incredible lot of really interesting you know you see a lot of intelligence and thought behind what those people's political beliefs are that's very that's very cool to see but you know tab you know the reason all this

happened all right oh i can imagine watch the mainstream news with you know the reason behind all this and of course it's russia russia russia yes it's all russians blow all of the political bias in the united states and racial divide at all russia's fault and look i mean how can you not believe republican representative tom garrett who's a member of the house and homeland security and for what has he told me on saturday before the big protests that quote i sat may close session briefing probably two months ago about charlottesville with the director of the f.b.i. among others and asked if russian inter meddling had to do with remembering the claims of what happened in charlottesville i was told yes it did. you know what republicans have done. to sow racial division and they love a good da whistle the old do it i'm tired of hearing like the russians obviously they did the russians i don't know where the russians were. only there was like you

know there were only way to no wonder they were there and somebody is really the amount of people who are out there for their night the right on that side of the you know we're going to call it the white nationalist site all that there was a lot of money apparently. really i mean you have to imagine you know lafayette square from freedom plaza lafayette square the march went along and you know almost took a big chunk of of lafayette square and you have to understand it was thousands no matter what i read house it was literally thousands of people you know at least a few thousand if not more who gathered walked up there and when you looked across it was. it was quite literally so hard to even see them well it ended up being around five it was supposed to start at five and by about five really it was just like it was like twenty four neo nazis just coming out all together under a tree with like a waiting for a castle or to speak and he pretty much was learned well those were the bomber and

those are those how they go much but i didn't love but everybody really was like there were people literally going i feel bad for them like this is really embarrassing where i'm not saying well what's interesting though is that you got a chance also the six of them really amazing took place there and amidst the calls the shame and the readiness to sort of keep neo nazis from the following our city many protesters took a slightly different approach and one of those was dancing to the electric slide in the wobble and generally bringing this joy to our streets instead of hate now celebrating this culture along with that was one woman who marched right in front of me from freedom plaza to lafayette square with her walker and the minute the dancing started she left her walker and joined the celebration showing us all that fight means drumming up the hate with love of a little life and the electrics and. yes we united they wrote us recoup record watchers don't forget to let us know what you

think of the topics are covered on facebook and twitter and see your full shows at or dot com coming up shortly though it's of the documentary on the congo all of this stuff stay true.

now one of. the ways of the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. but that's a lot of sympathy i want to become lost and i won the last post on this but as many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentries sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. first class than . most you know know. that at best when i get i mean a lot more that. they can watch as they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house all. the who could be about to do.

a sit sit struggles of many couples. food impulse response both. of you out the beautiful the but. why is it that some countries seem to be continually mired in cyclical wars political instability and economic cry. this well that is the central question behind the film this is congo a new documentary featuring an in-depth look at a part of the world not often talked about in a western corporate news media starting in two thousand and twelve the film focuses on four different individuals over a three year period a whistleblower a patriotic military commander a mineral dealer and it displaced taylor and how they live under rebellion resource

exploitation colonialism and the other major issues and problems affecting the region johnstone sat down with the photojournalist behind the documentary daniel mccabe to delve deeper into the story of his film and the congo let's take a listen. america's always been involved in africa in one way or another not colonial. in the form of coal in the situation. but in terms of mineral interest sure it's hard to really see america inside of all this. they're hidden in terms of their involvement but the influence is huge you know how we kind of approach the conflict there whether it's through backing and support through the un or humanitarian organizations or through. different bills we passed like the dodd frank bill where it's our attempt to try to clean up the conflict minerals. but. the reality is just as i mentioned before you know when we try and

crew bring our solutions i do have solutions that often just don't match with with the reality of the grown so so we're often left with a problem that's bigger than it was with where it started and it will certainly have the problem again going back to the economic situation we have these minerals that are very valuable and they're being utilized by us every day it's actually right to say that we know that the various minerals that we're talking about they end up in our appliances or electronics. you know diamonds and gold obviously have value so says she we are playing in. so the conflict without being aware of plants that conflict yeah i mean that's true and i think a hot topic is you know we can use the electronics like colton is is largely mined in the congo and that's inside of our cell phones so i think we. we often look at end user responsibility how involved are we can can is buying

a and i phone is that impacting things on the ground in congo and i think it becomes a little more confusing because you know if we go in and train and decipher between a conflict mineral and conflict free mineral really all that means is a government controlled mining area or a rebel controlled mining area. no when you have a government as corrupt as it is in a in a national army as corrupt as it is where is the conflict mineral you know you can make an argument that maybe a rebel controlled mine is more conflict free or or vice versa it's very murky and at the end of the day when you cut off those conflict minerals the miners are really the ones that suffer so you have people in total communities based around this trade which has been going on for decades and decades and then they're out of work and it's really hard to try and clean up that chain and and make it more honest without profoundly impacting the people in the ground so it's

a conundrum. that the solution is an elusive point. and i mean given your experience there you spent how many many years for them about four years filming there but for this film but they're working there since two thousand and eight yeah but so you're you know you being on the ground for years there spending time with with people you have a sense. you know how intractable are the problems the century how much do you know tribal issues and various ethnic issues that have become embedded in the culture and you know they have you know obviously that you know it's we're dealing with with organic situations that are that are moving and changing at all times but you know how much of the actual like on the ground situation that you feel could be solved if it was left into the hands of the people as opposed to trying to be imposed from government perspectives. it's a tricky question i mean i think taking a step back helps can text or was it a bit more where when we look at the different types of issues on the ground aside

from the resources and the obvious reason why people want to get out them you know you have ethnic divisions that are used as manipulation devices in the same way religion can be used to these these systems these african systems of. governess that are happening on the ground don't mesh with with the democratic style of which the country has developed or we're trying to help impose. so so it's almost impossible to start you know separating these things are. often the the population is chewed up in the process and when you look at the country as a whole it's it's the story about two thirds the size of western europe and they only have about five hundred miles of paved road so there's no infrastructure the education system is heavily you know depressed and. you know we have people dying from skeeter bites so these are these are problems that i don't think

we often consider but when that's the reality on the grown what you do the decisions as a congolese as somebody living those areas have everything to do with those realities. in terms of i mean it's can you touch upon a here when you talk about how these some of these are contrived some of these situations of ethnic and religious diversity and it are being utilized to basically put people at odds with each other but when i look at africa i mean i've spent some time in with save the children and another n.g.o.s that are trying to do positive it does really begin with a fundamental lack of infrastructure and a lot of this is controlled as we know from i.m.f. and world bank this is where you have the american influence right controlling the purse strings so that should these think these funds are being utilized to actually build up your infrastructure for markets to thrive or you can end up with you know basically commerce and people coming together and having education and having awareness of values so when you look at these situations being depressed who do you

think is really behind this sort of mental manipulation of these situations to make sure that there is an ongoing conflict to make sure that basically uganda and rwanda and congo are at odds with each other's throats and that the various ethnicities and culture. fighting internal civil wars continuously in places like congo sure sure i mean it's like what do we find when we pull the curtains back who's who's you know playing with the marionette strings. you know it's it's tricky and i think overall when you have a government as corrupt as congo's is it's individuals that are behind it and whether it's you know we want to point a finger at the president which is newsy thing to do because he's holding on to power and and he got there by kind of questionable means. it's. again it's we have to we have to step back it's i think one of them puja components

of the continuing conflict in the congo is not being able to put our finger hey this is why this is why we can say the resources we can see the corrupt government all the armed groups that the foreign interests international mining interests all these things these components that are that are in there that create this foggy mill once the fog is there this creates real opportunity for these types of nefarious actions to increase so there's no consequence if if if a million dollars is given to repair roads in the east maybe only three hundred thousand of them actually arrives on the ground and it's not enough to complete a job and because of that it just truncates on itself and i think this kind of scenario continues to unfold on everything whether it's the liver in humanitarian aid or trying to get a lections in order or trying to build infrastructure or you know born of humanitarian groups coming in to do it often there met with with opposition just

from either the people on the ground or the government and it's because of these kids and decades of. you know. instability. what was the den for you with the intention alternately the purpose of making a documentary this is congo's just to wake people up as through there is a civil war civil slash ongoing confrontation and war and in congo that people have forgotten about or is there an actual you know some lucian that you're trying to propose or just you know basically getting people in the direction of a solution and an actionable solution. well you know. this conflict is so confusing that i think often the way we receive information about the congo are in these little three minute bites that are horrific it's either about mass rape or going to war happens or in a bowl outbreak or something like this and. when we hear about it we will swipe you know or will change the channel and i think this is a huge contributing factor to to the mystification of this conflict and we don't

understand it we kind of turn it off so the hope of this film is that through being able for through a viewer being able to identify with the different characters in the film the characters that are being impacted by this conflict. it will not necessarily provide you with answers or solutions but the viewer will walk away with a thirst to know more they they have a bit of a foothold so they understand a bit more about the context the history of the country how things are kind of going this direction but the hope is that the next time something pops up on the airwaves that the viewer can say oh wait i want to dig a bit deeper male don't read a book around look up another you know new source or i'll not change the channel so education is going to be the foundation of the solutions to these issues . at least this is the device we're trying to use d. did you find in terms of your analysis that there was an intentional mr action or

manipulation that was evident from the media portrayal of the conflict and say mr direction but you know the media is a business you know we need to fill the usa with myself into what we're trying to fill these slots with information. and especially the way things are operating today when when the morning's news is dominated by tweets sometimes it's almost impossible for congo in the. comics conflict in a real way to get in there so we can understand it you know you can't sum up things into a three minute report. so i think that's that's a huge contributing factor and it speaks to. the shortcomings of the media system itself. the nelson firing california tore through over two thousand acres before being declared one hundred percent contained this weekend however when

the wildfires rage right towards the salon account a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals of a can still police department stepped up and as you can see from this body cam footage officers quite literally ran into the building housing about sixty cats and dogs and one by one managed to save them all as well as one volunteer who had crossed the fire line illegally to save the animals and the first place now while the animals are safe there is a lot of work ahead for the ass pca sauna county as they lost much of their refrigerated medications and vaccines in the fire which will all need to be replaced along with bedding and general cleanup so here's to the vacant hill police volunteers for reminding us what community actually mean it's great that's really nice to see and i'm glad to see this is the good thing when the cops actually leave the body yes that's what we got a bridge that you actually did know that was beautiful that's really commendable to them to run the safe. and so when you watch it it really does the sort of gets your

heart that they really were i think that's the thing is we all sort of work together and make sure that we're sticking out for one another and that's protecting and serving yes that's the idea behind all the community policing it's supposed to be. not the other thing that saved puppies and kittens and people already got a letter that's going to show proof of that remember everyone in this world we're not told to love them so i tell you all i love you i am a robot and on top of the all the people watching those hawks the bravery and. welcome to max keiser financial survival guide. looking forward to your pension

account. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain don't let this happen to you watch kaiser report. please. a murder was never great was founded on the rape in the murder. nothing changed so we said oh response so these situations that we're dealing with. people get sad every day she is just sad people kill each other blood for killing children. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to the shutdown law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in

america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i have to rat like this is a reason. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murderer i would prefer and it mean when the death penalty just because i think that's a fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict just found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying lose just newly hasn't been that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.
