german works for the university of bergen in norway. he measured the concentration of toxic chemicals present in various food products. and the results that he obtained are enlightening. different colors represent different pollutants. here you have different food. i have a whole milk eggs apples potatoes cod and farm salad. that's incredible we can see from the chart that the farmed fish has much higher levels than the other products. paul paul supporters compared to other products can see very clearly that farmed salmon it contains much more pollutants of the coral. and you can see the number as well as. if you. look at the farmed fish is five times more toxic than all the other products found in our supermarkets. and the conclusion is obvious. do you still eat farmed fish. no i don't know if you've stopped since these studies. if you simply must avoid exposure to these pollutants by ingesting then you're exposed but that's obvious. because it not only is about measuring these pollutants it's also about evaluating their effects on the

it is 20% of norway's overall economy. i have not seen it do norway much harm over the last 40 years. i would say the last years have been great. alistair darling's colleagues have been saying that that reserves would be running out by 2000. alistair says there is a wholesale value. let's say 20% as revenue that goes to the government. that is 200 billion pounds. six billion pounds a year. the reality is that every other country in europe would give their eye teeth to get the oil and gas. it cannot be that it is anything other than a substantial asset. [applause] >> you're promising on the basis of the source of revenue that is a very volatile -- that would make up a very substantial part of scotland's income. i argue it is a great thing to have come to realize so much on -- rely so much on something when you publish a white paper where you put out 650 pages, there was just one year, and the estimates you made have proved to be wrong. they are much lower than you thought. tell people that somehow we can rely on this. it is

and smaller countries, canada, australia and norway will will be affected. it's $11 billion euro exporting to russia. those figures are reasonably small as a percentage of the overall market. a few will be hit hard. germany has exports to russia. poland has quite a lot of exp t exports to russia. the main thing european union exports to russia is dairy products. things like cheese. there will be some effect. i don't think it will be a devastating effect on the european union food business. i think it will have marked effect here. i think availability of food will change in russia. the price of many food stocks will go up as russia tries to source from elsewhere. the reason the european products make it to the shelves at the moment is because they tend to be the best value. >>> we've heard edward snowden has been given a three year residence permanent to stay in russia. what do you make of the timing of that announcement? >> it's not clear whether or not it's tied in with the whole thing. when he was originally given one year asylum last year, that was part o

at 4,600 feet, the sognefjell road is norway's highest pass. at this latitude, even these modest altitudes take us high above the tree line, with snow through the summer. norway's lunar-like mountainscapes and deep fjords were shaped by glaciers that covered most of the continent 10,000 years ago. europe's largest surviving glacier, jostedal, is still hard at work. it covers 180 square miles, and, though shrinking, is still mighty. of the many tongues of the glacier, this one, called "nigardsbreen," offers the best visit. the valley comes with a quintessential glacier view. the approach includes a cruise across the glacial lake. the scale is enormous, and blue cliffs of ancient ice dwarf awestruck visitors. park guides lash on crampons and rope up adventurous travelers in preparation for an icy hike. while there are more demanding nigardsbreen routes, i'm joining a family hike -- just an hour, but offering an unforgettable experience and bringing you face to face with the power and majesty of nature. while tentative at first, hikers soon gain c
