6:06 am
certainly bottom types they reached out should i say and been inspired by the very same people that they hate the violent acts those so that's the way that i would personally explain the situation it's having a knock on effect and they're there inspiring each other which is absolutely crazy but this is why we are where we are on hatred breeds hatred it's self-sustaining the thing with killing and excusing it is being in the name of god is that it never ends it only gets worse. next american food and beverages pepsico is facing a backlash after swimming for small time potato suppliers in india and with local government nerving to support said farmers it seems the multinational might face a battle on his hands the case marks a low point then in a relationship the dates back to the late one nine hundred eighty s. when the first pepsico potato plant in india was opened a partnership with
6:07 am
a company has been keen indeed to advertise. pepsi co feels proud to partner with farmers all across india through various agricultural initiatives as they shared their experience of working alongside pepsi co so why is this all unraveled well pepsico claims the four farmers grew a variety of potatoes which the company's got exclusive rights over for their biggest selling crisp brand lays it says the potatoes will grow without the company's knowledge or permission and if they're reportedly seeking their between the for them damages of a six hundred thousand dollars the company has offered a bit of knowledge branch here depends they look at it but there are conditions attached to it let's talk about those conditions the american corporation has suggested that farmers become part of a collaborative potato farming program that means that they buy those seeds and those sellable taters back at a pre-agreed price if they don't the farmers would have to grow other potato varieties are back to square one for them but the farmers say pepsico is violating their freedoms and if. you don't know why pepsi co claims that it's in the right
6:08 am
according to indian law nowhere in india or in the world for that matter do you find a law that prohibits farmers from growing potatoes where did pepsico get this law from sicko has violated our basic freedoms with this lawsuit they see that we have broken their patent rates how can they dictate what we can or cannot grow. unless every year we buy seeds from within the farming community we never buy them from any specific company and have no agreement with any company came and told us we wanted to do business because they promised us a higher price and then filmed our farm they came as traders and were inquiring about the varieties we grow i told them we weren't sure of the variety but it's just white collar potatoes it's only when we receive the court notice that we realize who those people really were. more so in their support calls and are growing internationally for people to boycott pepsico products one activist from

the alliance for sustainable and holistic agriculture told us that farmers are becoming much more aware of their rights these days and companies will be able to indiscriminately bring cases like this forward in the future the farmers now clearly know that the indian legislation is our promise that allowed to so extreme c e c c c c it from a crop that is being good ordered from appropriate tree seed but just from a company and they are even allowed to sell sets let's it beeps equal seed in this case provided they don't package it live billet and sell it doesn't but i did see it and these families were certainly not doing this should have the freedom to choose what they want to goo as the on beside. your skeptic and right wing candidate is a poison as the e.u. gets ready for the big parliamentary elections were so big
6:10 am
a recent poll suggests that only a third of europeans are even aware that the ballots going to take place at all let alone are going to vote in it in just under a month or twenty eight nation bloc is due to go to the polls. your correspondent peter sullivan next reports on the situation around the elections then from germany. there's less than a month to go the citizens will elect the next european parliament and while there's expectations of a slight increase in turnout the e.u. pollsters have published that less than five percent of citizens so they knew when they're supposed to vote if you win during it's between may twenty third to the twenty sixth if you break down the euro per day syrian to how those surveyed in
6:11 am
member states answer the question do you know when your country will vote in e.u. parliamentary elections well top of the class is multi seventy three percent of those surveyed got it exactly right staying behind for extra lessons though it's the netherlands where a paltry twelve percent of those polled knew which dates they should be voting on almost forty percent of germans nailed the e.u. pollsters question however a separate poll taken domestically by hugo found that almost half of people didn't know who any of the nine leading candidates for seats in the european parliament were which isn't great when you think about the important job they do in the impact they could potentially have on everybody in the use life i'm a one out of four people could pick month for adventure out of the line up the c.s.u.
6:12 am
man is only standing to be the european commission president one of the most powerful and important jobs in the whole of the european union in similar territory of twenty six percent we have nicolas of the free democrats doing a little better though we have alternative for germany's your miten on thirty five percent of those who were polled being able to pick him out of a lineup and then on thirty nine percent we have the social democratic party's catarina we can only presume that ms bali the current justice minister. extra recognition due to the fact that she showed willingness to appear on different media outlets to put across their argument that europe has external and internal enemies these include all who seek to weaken at across the u. s. the of those polled said that they would definitely going to vote i asked people here on the streets of berlin what they made of the surveys and whether they intended to cast a ballot. will you take part in the european election. yes
6:13 am
yes i have no clue when it comes to politics just do you know when the parliamentary elections will be held but i don't know when exactly on the twenty sixth of may i think sometime in the spring a somewhere is even you know who this is you know. and the next one. is that they're not really in the spotlight for the most part these are counted it's no one's ever heard of three weeks ago until that european citizens will elect the next e.u. parliament or at least they will remember which date they're supposed to turn up to vote on peace for all of a. total of elections staying in europe but this time focusing on space big weekend so a right wing populist party propelled into parliament for the first time in decades we'll tell you more detail got a live interview coming up on that as well give us your perspective well after this
6:14 am
break. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. when almost seems wrong. but old rules just don't all. get to shape out these days comes to educate and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
6:15 am
the people that are now doing those manufacturing jobs also start to innovate because that's where the innovation happens on the factory floor so the fact that floors been moved to china as you point out that the cio let china in we moved all our jobs manufacturing over china now all the innovations in china so we don't it's not it's not been created in california built in china going to be created in china built in china. comfortingly else in your mosca thanks watching out international if you choose to run the world now let's focus on spain the ruling socialist workers party there is claim victory in sunday's general election it failed though to gain a parliamentary majority so now it's going to secure the support of other parties in order to form a government there's also been a major breakthrough for the populist right wing which will now into congress for the first time ever in over four decades. that
6:16 am
i just thought i was going to but here we are we're twenty four deputies it is truly a miracle it's incredible where we've got to. go so it's only the beginning. so where was all those ballots counted the anti migrant vox party is set to win two dozen seats as predicted in the three hundred fifteen seat going to be the first time i was mentioned since the seventy's and the end of spain's military dictatorship the right wing populist parties being represented in parliament tensions over cattle independence possibly as well as the migrant crisis of believed to have been major factors in the party's success well let's get a thought on that let's bring in spanish history academic dr alexander columbia. thanks for being with us today. so the socialists look to have one as we're saying of still a few votes but that looks like the way but the vox party did it very well often described as far right they got what two dozen seats or so their platform was on
6:17 am
and sima gratian and no independence for catalonia what was the mass appeal do you think that brought them those two dozen seats. well it's. the mere fact that. we have. here is that. massacred over the last. five years. that had nothing in fact. on the rise of the far right in spain the other actor who's very sound here is this fragmentation. of the right. one of the blue the conservative party a lot power last year that from haitian actually. bothered him harder and now is the party in the park. ship the other hand i were
6:18 am
awful. hearing you i don't know but our viewers are going to stay with it maybe the sun will come back in a minute the vox party was founded in twenty third they were barred from a televised debate ahead of these elections doesn't seem to harm their chances the connections got a bit but i want your answer to that if you can hear me yeah i can i can hear you yeah you're actually getting i mean it's hard to this is used so the. difficult tactic in the front ranks in europe for something something. that the party say that would not allow think. in the televised debate. in spain but that. didn't harm them pretty much for patients perhaps. in terms of how well they could. be poor and so were you know a lot of a lot of books. this is
6:19 am
a problem is the big problem to. hate speech and is there promoted and an integration of this is essentially that you have concentrated on to think very strongly a liberal project in terms of the political. kind of people the proposing and the. kind of so it's strengthened that castle and our sort of the spanish nationalism and intimate you know. dr so to speak with this we're going to. be on the scene trying to get a better signal to us but you just know it was clear enough we did get just what you said thanks being with us come back she bit later spot of history academic go to one hundred quote over there on the line. the news today two sisters from saudi arabia have lashed out against the use of a smartphone app they say allows male relatives to monitor and control women's travel. so many homeless living here as far as the air force is to live the site on the end and the other
6:20 am
side of the phone is the key to it was that he was very surprised if i was. wondering how the girls. well we sure got mixed views on this either way depending how you look at it this app is provided by the country's interior ministry and among other features of those fathers brothers has been sick cetera to update or withdraw women's rights to travel abroad it also notifies if female relatives passports are used in airports saudi arabia whether you like it or not has this so-called guardianship system under which saudi women must have permission from a male relative to work to marry or to travel now the two sisters we're talking about here say they had to use their father's phone in the end to leave the country seems their passports now suspended in saudi arabia and a part of there's no way back for them now the two are urging the tech giants this up on the technology to remove it as they say it violates fundamental human rights
6:21 am
but the saudi interior ministry had this to say about it the ministry strongly condemns the systematic campaign and said questioning the purpose of rapturous services at the same time confirms this rejection of the attempts to politicize the systematic use of technical instruments which represent legitimate rights to the users it's not first time both apple and google been criticized for hosting the it's been installed on smartphones more than a million times the un's human rights chief is also questioning the use of up to cases like this. technology can and should be all about progress but the hugely invasive powers that be unleashed major incalculable damage if there are not sufficient checks in place to respect human rights footnote to it google and apple have promised to review the application meantime we got the opinions of catherine shutdown from the al byron center for planning and studies and also job and ryan are an expert on political and social issues facing muslims these days. these up nigger shows are essentially meant to nor about the location
6:22 am
of the from new members to normal drug feel about on the family members there seems to be a lot of understanding of muslim going to europe where reproduction of removing is most if this were to go up nigger should is being used a room for some negative reasons that is an all too good or different abood it forces women into turning into commodities and allowing their gods in so what might they be the father the son the cousin or the uncle or whoever else to have control of everything that happens to them not only their movement but the actually they have rights to travel that right to be that right you see if they wish to see and their rights actually make their own choices for muslim code your grammar doesn't mutable follow that some sort of blog she gets all going to go for mention her from a blog from one of barbro books drawn from her husband suburban very much regrettable to. the rest is more understanding because i am
6:23 am
a muslim myself and i lived in yemen and i've experienced what it is to be treated differently because you are a woman to be treated like a second class citizen to be treated as a commodity and being told what to do and how to live and how to be and i can tell you that as a woman it is profoundly repressive and i reject it and i actually think that is completely hateful on your part. to say that it's somehow rational to hold this kind of narrative the twenty first century but if you are basically a question of distorting your smart question often draw them darkies or just the lenses are going to turn this debate under any slimy debate you're trying to move it is to the religious or layman it has nothing to do with anything and you trying to tell us that in saudi arabia women are free to do whatever they want is simply not true i'm trying to say that their god is that in the house we know that by so directly because they love their women so not that they have to protect them against themselves but it is ridiculous that moves are free but do you have a choice. very limited their choice in the stomach and that is an issue render make
6:24 am
their choice in the best i'm going to use that doesn't become an issue it's not a question of applications it is a question obviously going to be a broad thinking would be which we try to evaluate everything with which we try to see everything not i think we're the one she's not nicking and diving is that in islam bit is generally. there is some sort of advisory that the meme should revolve him over the remember a member of the that is just for the sake of production it has absolutely nothing to do with islam and people need to stop making it about every decision when he has nothing to do with anything it is a human rights issue it has everything to do with the way they conduct his affair with his country against women. leave that for now you do so in the coming hours as the run up so far this monday from moscow my name is kevin but i'll say again hope for the same time said tomorrow for number one.
6:25 am
after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the pope the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to signal from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people. or not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not be or else you can think i was going to go. by the way ways of the flying here. one else chose seemed wrong. but old rules just don't call. me. yet to shape our disdain become active. and engaged with equals betrayal.
6:26 am
when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you know world a big part of. law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.
6:27 am
time after time to new what you're going underground while we're away we'll be screening some your favorite episodes of the season coming up in this show canadian psychologist professor jordan peterson elevated by neo liberal war supporting media like the new york times and guardian comes to going on the ground and the first muslim woman to sit in parliament british pm baroness who didn't own a british media political class complicit in deadly islamophobia all this of all coming up in today's going underground the first the rise of identity politics is long been accused of masking the horrors of neo liberal stereotype of disguising class conflict as the driving force of the march of history but on next guest sees not only identity is the enemy to fulfilling lives but marxism and socialism joining me now from toronto in canada is clinical psychologist on the international bestselling author of twelve rules for life an antidote to chaos professor jordan peterson jordan welcome to going underground let's just begin with what do you think it says about free speech in britain that cambridge university made an
6:28 am
announcement this week saying they weren't going to invite you to speak i think it says more about the nature of the universities in general than about free speech in general i mean i don't feel the. my disinvited taishan has compromised my free speech ability because i have so many platforms on which i can discuss my ideas but i think that it was handled in the none believably unprofessional shoddy and cowardly way i mean i was never even notified formally that this invitation occurred i found out about it through the grapevine and i have no will still have no real explanation for why it happened. only able to surmise the reasons i think that arc i was in cambridge in november and i did a very popular talk there and there was lots of student interest and interest out the faculty of divinity as well and i was really looking forward to working with
6:29 am
the experts there on biblical issues and i thought it would have been a very good collaboration for everyone given the popularity of the biblical lecture series i did a year ago and i think it's i think it's sad and i think it's sad and shoddy but i also think it's deeply reflective of how powerful logical the universities have become to be clear you didn't tell them you didn't want demonstrators outside the lecture hall as when you were speaking this is clearly a deliberate vote of no platforming and censorship. well i presume so as i said i haven't had any official notification let's just get to some of the work i mean how key would you say in your work has been your opposition to socialism marxism and of course the best selling book as well given at the moment the word socialism of course has a bit of a renaissance here with jeremy corbyn and in the united states with but he has you
6:30 am
know i'm particularly concerned with the more radical end of the left distribution or the left part of the political distribution as well as the identity politics people on the right. you know there are i live in canada it's a moderately socialist country i think that there's been there's the introduction of certain forms of legislation that have been formulated by the same order left that i think have been beneficial to people. i think the problem is that as far as i'm concerned it's very difficult seems to be very difficult for people on the left to draw a line between what's acceptable and what's not acceptable because obviously the left can go too far and i would say all the emphasis is at the moment on diversity inclusive of the inequity is a sign that the left has gone far too far. i don't think that the radical and of the day.
