but in bangladesh, the country i used to work in, it's not that simple.t a fascinating new program that's making a difference. when i heard about this eye clinic, i had to see it for myself. here it is, a backpack on a patch of dirt in rural bangladesh, a program started by an american is about to give this woman her life back. she's a seamstress who could no longer thread her needles but minutes after putting on a pair of glasses -- very good. it's five years since you can do that. was it hard to hammer the nails? a middle-aged carpenter whose hands are paying the price for his failing sight -- you hit your hand on the thumb? five minutes later, seeing, and believing. here in rural bangladesh, these glasses are like gold, because if you can't see, you can't work. if you can't work, you and your family cannot survive. >> millions of people around the world lose their productivity, lose their quality of life because they can't see. >> reporter: jordan is a new york optometrist and the founder of vision spring, a global program that sends what you find for

you to know not only has a promoted corporate human rights abuse as we've seen in jordan and in bangladesh and it dozens of other low wage labor hotspots around the world it's made american small businesses unable to complete to compete in a global market how can small american based businesses compete against transnational corporations that use weight to maximize profits that includes a company like keynes that made over a billion dollars last year wal-mart that made more than fourteen billion dollars last year thanks in large part to buying cheap products from factories like that classic factory in jordan that uses rape to keep its employees in line. free trade has created a race to the bottom around the world for the most intimate and labor force is the least protected conditions in factories across america had dramatically improved in the hundred years of the triangle shirtwaist factory one of the planes we shouldn't sleep any easier at night just because employee abuse is out of sight and out of mind and exists all around the world in places like jordan and bangladesh or corporate pow

views is out of sight and out of mind and exists all around the world in places like jordan and bangladesh where corporate power has overtaken sovereign governments and the power of the protections offered average workers as long as so-called american corporations like wal-mart are dealing in abusive labor practices around the world then so too is america and the only way to put an end to that openness is for us to put an end to this so-called free trade. that's the big picture for the night for more information on the stories we covered visit our website sometime arbonne dot com and archie dot com also check out our youtube page at thom hartmann dot com slash the big picture r t v dot com slash or you tube dot com slash and this entire show is available as a free video podcast on i tunes and don't forget democracy begins with you when you show up when you participate your it. will. bring you the latest in science and technology from. the future coverage. wealthy british scientists it's time to. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger for a no hold

we're focused on building capacity in countries like bangladesh, haiti,,, tanzania as well as regions in east africa. these regions were selected because of the strength of their political institutions and their vision for confronting under. the hebbel committed to increasing their own investment in agriculture -- they have all committed to increasing their own investment in agriculture. ghana loses up to 40% of its grain supply of cars because of inadequate storage and handling facilities. to help tackle this challenge, usda is collaborate with several land grant universities specialists to develop and deliver a series of training and capacity-building programs to improve storage systems on and off the farm which will minimize moisture losses. our over cochrane fellowship programs expose international counterparts to our american agricultural systems and innovation. it supports critical human capacity that underpins our growth. in kenya, the cochran foundation fellowship program has helped the canyon plant health and inspector service adopt a port of entry inspection system similar t

a passenger had checked the suitcases in on a flight from bangladesh but failed to collect the luggage when the plane landed. farmers, environmental groups, and water companies have been holding urgent talks with the government about the drought that has been declared in parts of central and eastern england. water company said there is no threat to household supplies, but farmers have been told to reduce the amount -- amount of water that pump out of the ground. our world affairs correspondent reports. >> it is official. huge swaths of eastern england are now in drought. farmers battling to water their crops are worried that the drought declaration gives the authorities more power to restrict the amount of water they can take from rivers and streams two-year break their fields. >> the demand for crops like this really is quite great in july and the later parts of june. that is what we fear, we will be completely down then. >> the industry also has big challenges. making beer tax water, a lot of it. 6 pints for every pint of ale brood. >> it has been a remarkably difficult year this yea

also around the bay of bengal, heavy rain persists around bangladesh, northeastern india, into myanmarand that rain stretches into central india, especially pradesh looking at severe thunderstorms. now for thunderstorms in chongqing, 32 degrees. 22 in shanghai. looking slightly cooler today, and summer like in seoul at 30 degrees. now we head into the americas. still looking at that very long rain band stretching from canada all the way into the mississippi valley here, particularly severe for the southern end. so places like missouri and tennessee will contend with some violent storms. watch out for hail as well as strong wind gusts, tornadoes not out of the question. and quite thundery up towards the northern plains as well. light rain expected to arrive in montana by wednesday afternoon, but at least we're getting a bit of a break from that wet weather. and down towards the southwest, it stays dry. winds going to be much calmer, though. but air quality alert again has been issued for new mexico as well as arizona. the wildfire continues to spread a little smoke in the air. and the h

moisture to be found again, wet conditions for much of indo china peninsula, up northeastern india, bangladesh as well, northern end of india as well, pradesh as well experiencing heavy thundery downpours. temps looking cooler in central china, 24 degrees in chongqing, 25 in shanghai, quite cloudy out here, it will be warm, though, for beijing, 32. 29 in seoul. now let's head to the americas, turning much cooler up in the northeastern corner here, but stays exemely hot across the southern plains and in between is where we're going to find those severe thunderstorms break out across the plains states into the lower mississippi valley, we're looking at chances of storms here, especially arkansas and down towards mississippi looking at violent storms, just north of this, heavy rain will impact areas like missouri and illinois. now, flooding is still a concern up in montana here, river levels are starting to slowly recede but still pretty high and another round of rain here is really going to be increasing those flooding risks. down toward the southwest it stays very dry and windy here, so the str

monsoon will keep that heavy rain in place for north, central, as well as northeastern india, across bangladesh as well. temperatures hotting up in chongqing today, 34 degrees. 28 in beijing and 31 in seoul. tokyo looking slightly cool at 23 degrees. now for north america, dry conditions really continuing to prevail down in the southwestern corner here. winds really starting to pick up from the south and the west as well. so looking at critical fire where the conditions for arizona as well as new mexico. now where this warm air meets the cooler air in the northeast is where we'll find this -- lots of thunderstorms and rain developing for the eastern u.s. looking particularly stormy for places like tennessee, southern illinois, down towards alabama and georgia. some welcome rain coming in to florida as well. but as you can see, extensive rain stretching into the great lakes and back towards western canada here. 19 degrees in vancouver today. stays hot down in the south. hotting up to 37 in houston. now for europe, some more showers will prevail across the british isles. nothing too severe, but c

heavier isolated downpours will be possible in parts of myanmar and bangladesh and northwest india.hese areas still continue to see rain and there is that chance of heavy to very heavy rainfalls to develop today. the highs will be getting up pretty high in hong kong, 32 is your high. even hotter in shanghai, 33 for you. then 23 degrees in tokyo. gray and on the cool side here. over towards the americas looking at all that activity here in and around the central americas. again today we've got a tropical depression just south of mexico in the eastern pacific. that will be the first one of the season and it is expected to strengthen further. it is going to likely become a tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours, then over throughout this week we'll watch that slowly strengthen and possibly becoming a hurricane. now, we've also got a large low area here in the caribbean as well. combined they're all bringing showers to both islands as well as central america. deadly flooding situation reported in haiti. looks like you will need to watch out for further showers. another very wet area

they abandoned her and threw her in an alley somewhere in bangladesh. and no one did anything. according to jess the peace corps did everything they could to cover this up because they seem to be more worried about american relationship with bangladesh than they were about this american volunteer that was assaulted and victim of crime. jess says that the peace corps not only didn't do anything, they blamed her for the conduct of herrings. -- of others. they blamed her for being a sexual assault victim. mr. speaker, a rape victim is never to blame -- to be blamed for the crime that is committed against her. it is the fault of the criminal offender, whether it occurs in the united states or abroad. and we need to understand that these precious people who go overseas and represent us somewhere in the world when a crime is committed against them, we need to take their side. we need to be supportive of those individuals and we don't assume they did anything wrong because they did not do anything wrong when they became a victim of crime. they were just victims of crime and the person

frontier markets, for instance, include the likes of bangladesh and vietnam in asia, serbia and bulgariahis category, many of the gulf arab countries. that may come as a surprise because these countries are so rich in oil and gas reserves. the main reason they're included in the frontier markets, according to analysts, is because foreign investors have limited access to these markets. so there's questions about transparency and doing business in these countries. incidentally saudi arabia which is the middle east's largest economy is not categorized by msci because of the way information is provided on its markets. now, how does a frontier market get upgraded to an emerging market? there are a number of factors involved. for instance, a market that is emerging has to show a marked increase in the size and liquidity of its market. it also has to have greater accessibility. emerging economies demonstrate more openness to foreign ownership. some examples of these type of markets, they include all the bric countries, brazil, russia, china, south africa. why are these categories so important?

like these children in bangladesh, forced to work collecting shrimp, they are often paid than less thanent. that's slavery. people tuned in for the commonwealth games in new deli. behind the scenes, children as young as seven help build the infrastructure, working in what many would describe as sub human conditions. when we asked for comment, the chief minister told cnn if the government had known then about these allegations, it would have act against subcontractors using child labor. >> you see something about two and a half feet tall with two legs, you know that's child labor. when i say child, we literally mean child, four, five, six years old, with hammers and carting around gravel. >> reporter: that's slavery, too. in european red light districts, often in major cities and capitals, you find women being trafficked from countries like mull dove a and nigeria, forced to sell sex on the streets and in brothels. >> i was just a thing. >> reporter: slavery crosses borders, effects every country. destroys millions of lives. becky anderson, cnn, london. >> this sunday at 8:00 p.m., join

rights and economy, it transformed into a war with india and created the independent nation of bangladesh. following the war against the soviet union in the 180s, pakistan used used the mujahided subsequently the taliban to settle o old scores, but pakistan's military continues to fear a direct confrontation with the pashtun tribes on its western border. this fear makes pakistan's relationship with the taliban convoluted and volatile and, perhaps, unreso far bl. -- unresolvable. making token attacks on those taliban that do not seven its interesting, although even in this pack stab's -- pakistan's commitment is not what it seems. while mostly reserving its high-tech weapons given to it by the united states for a potential war with india, pakistan's military sets the poorly-trained and poorly-equipped pashtun frontier corps against the punjabi taliban setting up their own pashtun-controlled punjabi taliban among the disillusioned youth, a new and dangerous dynamic has taken hold. washington's third major issue regarding afpak is washington itself. the politic of both afghanistan and pakist

itas bangladesh level. th hadothing. and so deng xiaoping says we are going to just do what it takes to succeed. we're going to be ruthlessly pragmatic. we don't care whether it's called communism, capitalism, couldn't give a damn. >> rose: (laughs) what d he say about a rat? >> if a cat can catch the mouse, who cares if it's a white cat or black cat? and en he goes through that and he saysby the way, we'll be allies with the aricans. the hated americans who were... mao regarded the americans as devils and he was like we're going to be pro-american because we need their technology, we need their military support, we need them as an ally against the soviet union. it's a totally pragmatic approach. and that produced 30 years of stability. so the question is will the people who have now lived through 30 years of stability and growth and prosperity and only seeing the china of the beijing olympics and not the china of the cultural revolution do they have a different world view? do they remember how difficult this was? probab

today through feed the future initiative, we're focused on building capacity in countries like bangladeshral america. these regions were selected because the strength of their political institutions and vision for confronting hunger, and they all committed to increasing their own investment in agriculture so our investments generate leverage. ghana loses 30% of its grain supply because of inadequate storage and handling facilities. to help tackle this challenge, usda is collaborating with specialists to develop and deliver a series of training and capacity building programs to improve storage systems on and off the farm to minimize moisture losses. our own fellowship programs expose our international counterparts to innovation. at the same time, it supports human capacity that underpins our growth. for example, in kenya, the foundation helped the inspector service adopt a port of entry inspection system similar to what we use here in the united states providing direct benefits to the kenyan economy. as kenya has been trained but the usda program teaching risk procedures and assessments to

interview i think that most of my wealth was made is not my own doing because in the middle of bangladesh i would be a poor farmer. i just cannot create of the infrastructure i need to make my money. so the smart ones no and that's why he has studied this movement. we can debate whether that is the best use of his money but still but individual productivity is fundamentally collective. it's not just your own doing. the same person with the same skills can become different and productive according to the society that he or she belongs. anyway, i can go on like this but i haven't got the time to go through all 23 of them but let me just give you one or two more i could talk about that which says it's changed the world more than the interim has. this has raised a lot of eyebrows, but this one will take a little time so i can get back to it. if you're interested i could also talk about the thing 23 where i say the policy does not require. [laughter] i also say on 22 the markets need to become less, not more efficient. 16i say we are not smart enough to leave things to the market. so lots of s

"for as long as i can rerks i have had an intense passion for technology. in middle school that passion led to spending many nights constructing remote-control model airplanes and vander graph havgenerators. i spent my senior year creating an online up in for my school." he didn't know about his immigration stawlts until he started applying for colleges. he asked for his parents, what he should say in terms of his immigration status. and that's when he learned that he was undocumented. in 2008, mange graduated from the university of north carolina at chapel hill, an outstanding school, and again let me put in the record, these students that graduate from college do it facing sacrifices many students don't. they get no federal assistance, none. mange's prospects are i want willed. even though he graduated from the university of north carolina, chapel hill, an outstanding
