there are a lot of lawmakers in the state of missouri that we know huge financial contributions from agricultural industry groups those are the groups that opposed proposition b. and there is no doubt in our minds that those same groups pressured lawmakers to overturn proposition and before the session even started there were bills that were pretty filed just that you feel bad because it was repealed but you know all of your work paid off has made a dramatic difference for this i mean just the fact that almost half these facilities are out of business who could have envisioned that things are definitely much improved with many of the worst operations but you still have chronic while leaders who are operating you still have. you still have. some folks believe they can do whatever they want there are so many issues are so many porton issues and everybody is struggling in their own way that we don't necessarily want to pick up the other guy struggle eventually i have to go back. and face this neighbor and face the other neighbors and i will meet them a church at the grocery store the restroom at the

the vast agricultural plains of the i grew up and pima in central italy are one of the country's main areas of food production. but many of those who live here aren't italians they're indians. at least $11000.00 of them and possibly up to 4 times more. mostly sikhs from punjab in northern india they are economic migrants who've come here to work in local farms and so on money. but all too often those dreams are crushed instead they can face abuse and exploitation laboring for pitiful wages and trapped in a system from which there is no escape. we've come to hear their story. made of friends. on the lagoon of the border illegally b.s.e. means a lump all it doesn't dump on shoes for longer than the. 1000000 are there the number that about to get even those of them that. become a breed that i wouldn't. have done more but i'm not. going to become an almost almost all of them even if you get in the way. it can i'm in the wrong but i will never be but a nominal number that i'm never going to live to back you know nothing about me. but. this 100 mile long stretch of land facing the terrain i

one of the worst hit areas in the economy with agriculture. a program began under tugwell , who was one of the advisers to president franklin roosevelt to document the conditions under which people were living. this is back when we did not have television. we had radio, but a lot of places did not have electricity. so they could not listen to the radio podcast of find out what was going on in other parts of the country. they sent off photographers to take pictures of what was happening and put these pictures into newspapers whenever they could and into magazines, journals, things like that. it was difficult to get newspapers to accept these photographs, because nobody really wanted to face up to what was happening. but roy striker, an economist from columbia university, was persistent. he was the head of this project. he went to newspaper offices, contacted newspaper people, magazine people, just really pushed and pushed and pushed to get these pictures published and out to the reading public so they could see what was happening. his projects e

i think it is mostly to do with the agricultural industry.they insist that it be classified not as an explosive. in america it is classified as a blasting agent when it is used for fertiliser purposes. but that is wordsmithing. the material can blow up in a disastrous explosion so anybody who uses english in a sensible manner, it is a substance which is an explosive. but because the agricultural industry feels that regulations would be more owner as if there was a forthright admission that this is an explosive substance, it is an explosive substance, it is classified as not an explosive material, even though it is, when it is used for agricultural purposes. if it is used for bomb—making then it is classified as an explosive. thank you so much for talking to us. more on that story later in the programme. let's round up some of the other main developments. the world health organization has urged russia to follow international guidelines for producing a vaccine for covid—i9. the leadership in moscow has said it will begin vaccinations in october

what is your take on the agricultural vote in the midwest given the dynamics. >> i don't think donald to worry too much about losing the agricultural vote, they came out to support him in 2016, some people might have been reluctant in doing it and in the intervening they cases from holding for trump in their minds has likely strengthened not because of a strong economy, there have been rough times first written farmers and for certain states, but the economy has performed well under president trump particularly before the coronavirus. more than that, there is not a particularly good case being put forth by the opposing party. joe biden said he would take away that tax cuts and tax reform that had been passed previously, which is not going to be a message they want to hear. farming isn't the big issue here even though it has been something focused on on the convention. more interesting as the trump campaign is working hard to expand the routing voting base in some of these states, tremendous outreach to the black community and not just the kind where they focus on someone who's black,

biggest outbreaks in the disease and as we know, the agricultural community, the workforce, is predominantly hispanic. the working conditions and the living conditions don't really lend themselves to social distancing. and that is when you get to see the disproceceedisproportionate the numbers here. and as you mentioned, about 39% of california's population is latinx. but nearly two did n-thirds of cases are in the hispanic community. whites about 36% of the population and just are 17% of the cases. we told you last hour about a local clinic here in watsonville where they are seeing a 30% positivity rate in the testing they are doing and that may be deceiving because they say a lot of people are reluctant to get tested in the first place. >> people are sometimes not wanting to be tested because they don't want to not be able to go to work and they didn't want their whole family to be placed on quarantine and other families to not be able to go to work. the other challenge that we've had is that sometimes there is access to testing but the testing turnaround time is 10 days

marks over the last three year since donald trump started there's been a lot of herd across the agricultural industry over the last three years and we've continued to hear among a broad cross section that they have wanted to take this fight on the question here in this fall is how long does that patience run? president trump questioned the future of the china trade deal which leaves a lot of questions. >>> thank you. >>> a departure of the most prominent chrisian yumpts. jerry falwell has resigned from liberty university the announce mat came just hours after the school issued a statement that he agreed to resign before reversing course he with drew his resignation after media reports surfaced he's been on a leave of absence after posting a photo on instagram. an alleged sex scandal between falwell, his wife and a fellow business partner they're defending themselves against these allegations. >>> we're back with more on those dangerous storms in the gulf >> yeah, we are also watching the flooding threat along with the storm serge. accumulation across gulf coast communities. ate 90s, very hum

and the agricultural scientist who helped save a billion lives. but first, of all of the revolutions that swept across eastern europe just over 30 years ago, the overthrow of nicolae ceausescu and his wife elena in romania was the bloodiest. the uprising began in the western city of timisoara, where a local pastor, laszlo tokes, took a stand against the authorities. the unrest started in timisoara, in transylvania, following the arrest of pastor laszlo tokes. laszlo tokes, who was an outspoken critic of the government, refused to leave when the secret police came to arrest him. several hundred churchgoers gathered to stop them. i did not want to become a revolutionary. but step by step, my attitude was radicalised because we had to speak out. he was a stalinist—type dictator. the romanian system became more and more cruel. we were under total control by the securitate, the romanian secret service. the church became a centre of peaceful opposition. i did not make politics. i only tried to express that we must obey god, rather than men. it wasn't jus

the coronavirus pandemic is hurting japan's exports. shipments of food items as well as agriculturesttry and fishery products were down in the first half of the year. the agriculture ministry says exports fell 8.2% from the same period last year to about $3.9 billion. the it says the decline is largely due to temporary closures of japanese restaurants abroad. shipments of seafood products including scallops and yellowtail dropped nearly 30%. japanese saki and beef each fell by more than 20%. >> translator: exports to asia are picking up, but shipments to the u.s. and european union decreased sharply, and the situation iis very severe. we'll worork more closely with trading firms to achieve ourur target. >> the government earlier this year had set a goal of more than doubling the value of the annual exports in those categories to about $19 billion by 2025. >>> 1y57 pan's largest steal maker had its most painful quarter. nippon steel -- sent demand crashing. the company says it lost 42 billion yen or nearly $400 million. that't'the worstst result for tt quarter since the company was l

and the mennonites are more likely to view these animals as cash crops as agricultural products we'veheard that over and over again and i believe that to be true. not all amish families or not all minimally families breed dogs but the large majority the overwhelming majority of the people that we deal with the breeders are women and it was something that farm families could do between when you harvest in the fall and when you plan the spring. as commercial kennels cropped up across pennsylvania in the late 1960 s. the welfare of the dogs trapped in puppy mills was not viewed as a priority of the pennsylvania department of agriculture inspections were few and far between the regulations were ill defined and the program was clearly underfunded so the regulators were completely tied by the laws and just the the van ness of all of them so what we really needed was in forcible measurable standards you would see inspection reports time and time again where a warden is a morning operator to do something. and this didn't go on for like one or 2 inspections in a year's time talking about years

violence in different parts of the darfur region is leading to increased displacement, compromising the agricultural driving growing humanitarian needs. " what is your government doing to try to ensure that violence doesn't return in a major way to conflict—ridden areas of sudan, like darfur? certainly again, we regret any loss of life during this period. but the reason that we have this resurgence in the conflict, the ethnic conflict in darfur and a few other places in the country, like in port sudan, kassala and kadugli, these are, by and large, the legacy of the former regime, which has incited ethnic groups against each other. these groups have been living together in harmony for centuries, but the former regime citing them for survival and therefore genocide is a case in point. since we came, we started addressing this issue and certainly we're making very serious progress. we've linked to the idp, the internally displaced persons, and we've started a peace process in juba with the forces of the armed struggle. all right. we think this violence can be addressed within the broader context of the

you've got a lot of people in the county that are essential workers that work out in the agricultural is some of the grapevines that you see out in currant county and there's testing going on in that building way over there, there's actual testing that's being brought to the workers, because one of the problems that we've seen in currant county is there is a fear among some of the workers some undocumented workers to get tested. they feel that ones we've spoken to say they may lose their jobs, they fear and not getting hours because of covid-19, so we've been talking to some of the people testing them. this is kelly glad. a volunteer with the good samaritan hospital and we've been talking to her about whether or not people actually miss out on work if they test for covid-19 here in california. it is now a state law, a state rule that says that if you test positive for covid-19, you're out for those 80 hours. they can get some of those hours, right? they can get paid. >> correct, there's the trump with the federal care act, has provided the hours to be covered. first 80 hours. >> have

record volumes right now and we saw these numbers when china promised in committed to purchasing the agriculture and already even before the coronavirus started they said it was going to be the world saw it is nearly impossible because it was so much money going into it and what they're saying that they're purchasing them are we even close to that kristie no absolutely nowhere close to that to the record amounts promised by china still remains the largest consumer in the world right now even with the man down worldwide from the coronavirus china is still the only large consumer of american larger. consumer of consumer electronics so no matter what even if even if america says that china has failed to uphold the terms of the trade one agreement as he just said in its previous they meant the entire world was hit with something unexpected such as the coronavirus which china is claiming as a force majeure it was an unexpected natural disaster that hit the entire world thus making them unable to uphold the terms of the u.s. and china trade agreements from phase one well and it seems this current coro
