[00:00:07] the plane, they cannot expel it 200
[00:00:10] meters from the community, but that passed over the
[00:00:13] community, people thought it was beautiful, when the
[00:00:17] plane passed, they saw that white snow, then the
[00:00:20] people went outside to see the plane expelling, I myself in my
[00:00:24] backyard I had 150 chickens, in
[00:00:27] just one day 80 chickens died... when the plane finished
[00:00:31] passing, the chickens started to die and then Zé
[00:00:34] Maria said: but in 10 years maybe I won't be alive,
[00:00:38] but in 10 years you will see people getting sick with
[00:00:41] cancer, people, children being born with malformations,
[00:00:44] you will see the number of
[00:00:48] terrible diseases that will happen, because even
[00:00:51] the impotence of men, the pesticide causes,
[00:00:55] né?
[00:01:00] life, he was shot on the side of road. His killer was
[00:01:04] arrested, but the person assumed to have ordered the hit, a big land
[00:01:07] owner was acquitted, and just like Zay Maria Feared,
[00:01:11] serious illnesses have cropped
[00:01:13] up.
[00:01:17] Cancer rates are over 40% higher, according to the
[00:01:20] terrifying conclusion of scientific study carried out in the region
[00:01:24] it
[00:01:29] upon.
[00:01:41] especially after the assassination of community leader Zé Maria do Tomé
[00:01:45] in 2010, people became very afraid to give
[00:01:47] interviews, so we
[00:01:51] had to have a lot of calm, a lot of
[00:01:54] patience and an intense dialogue with the residents
[00:01:58] of the community.
[00:02:08] In tome other mothers report even more serious
[00:02:11] abnormalities, such as early onset
[00:02:15] puberty,
[00:02:22] good afternoon, how are you and what is the name of this
[00:02:26] boy?
[00:02:30] is enormous, five
[00:02:31] months,
[00:02:39] five months,
[00:02:43] all mothers come with babies to the room and mine doesn't
[00:02:46] come, the doctors are already very
[00:02:50] good, great, but they are very
[00:02:53] cruel, because they tell the truth to your
[00:02:56] face, yes, your daughter is here. but
[00:03:00] it took three days for her to
[00:03:01] die
[00:03:04] because she was born with two
[00:03:07] holes in her heart and then she
[00:03:11] died
[00:03:15] I was very scared, I had many dreams,
[00:03:18] a great desire to be a mother,
[00:03:22] but God was so wonderful that
[00:03:26] he gave me a blessing, a child that I wanted so much.
[00:03:30] a healthy child, perfect, who is
[00:03:33] everything in my life, not even my mother
[00:03:36] the
[00:03:41] daughter of Dienene had a cardiac malformation, a
[00:03:44] congenital cardiac malformation, there are several
[00:03:47] factors that undoubtedly determined this illness, such as
[00:03:51] genetic factors, familial factors,
[00:03:54] environmental factors, in the environmental factors, the issue of
[00:03:58] pesticides is quite relevant. Here in the Tomét community we
[00:04:01] had an occurrence
[00:04:04] of five cases of congenital malformations in less than
[00:04:08] 2 years, it is a small community with around 2000,
[00:04:12] 2,500 inhabitants, so there was a very high prevalence,
[00:04:16] much higher than the prevalence of congenital
[00:04:19] malformations in the national rate of Brazil,
[00:04:22] so the question was whether it had a relationship with the
[00:04:25] exposure
[00:04:29] comment.
[00:04:35] Ada pontes researches these families exposure to
[00:04:38] pesticides before the birth of their children. The results are illuminating.
[00:04:53] Deni, the mother of Little Sophia who died at birth got
[00:04:56] caught in pesticide rain at the beginning of her pregnancy. when an
[00:05:00] Ariel sprayer flew over her and doused her in
[00:05:03] agribusiness, has become one of chemicals. Her husband, who was also frequently
[00:05:07] exposed, didn't wish to be interviewed on
[00:05:09] camera.
[00:05:29] and we found in the urine of these children metabolites
[00:05:33] of pyrethroids and pyrethroids are a class of
[00:05:36] pesticides, right? there are recent studies that
[00:05:40] prove that chronic exposure to pyrethroids, even at
[00:05:43] low doses, can cause the health problems that
[00:05:47] we identified here, such as congenital malformations and early puberty.
[00:06:25] But sometimes a political fight pays
[00:06:28] off. Renato Rosenno,
[00:06:31] deputy from Seara, passed a law prohibiting aerial chemical
[00:06:35] sprays in the whole state in 2018. Combol
[00:06:37] assassinated with 19 shots José Maria do
[00:06:41] Tomélio.
[00:06:47] the agribusiness strategy is to overturn the law in the
[00:06:51] STF, in the Supreme Court because it obviously doesn't want
[00:06:55] the law to be repeated in other states, there are
[00:06:58] several others, several other state parliaments
[00:07:02] discussing similar laws, very
[00:07:04] inspired by us,
[00:07:07] if we win in the Supreme Court, obviously these
[00:07:11] other states will have...
[00:07:43] it was necessary that even the European Union review
[00:07:47] its trade standards and that
[00:07:50] it not allow these transnational corporations to commercialize
[00:07:54] what they cannot sell there.
[00:08:10] good morning!
[00:08:12] and first of all I would like to say that it is a pleasure, more
[00:08:16] than 500 babies intoxicated with
[00:08:19] pesticides in Brazil, in official
[00:08:22] numbers, so it is possible that we have more than
[00:08:25] 25,000 babies intoxicated with pesticides
[00:08:29] in this period. I felt that the representatives
[00:08:32] of the European Union became
[00:08:35] aware, it is inhumane, it is inhumane, it is
[00:08:38] inhumane to sell substances that are prohibited in their own territory to
[00:08:42] us. It is worth less, the population in Brazil is worth less,
[00:08:45] 20%, about 20% of the intoxicated population in Brazil are
[00:08:49] children and young people from zero to 19 years old, even babies
[00:08:53] we are facing a form of infanticide, I
[00:08:56] feel comfortable using this word, because the data shows this, what are
[00:09:00] 500 babies intoxicated with pesticides, how is this
[00:09:03] possible.
[00:09:12] Larisa Bombardi thought it wise to leave
[00:09:15] Brazil. Each year, about 50 environmental
[00:09:18] activists are assassinated in the country. Tharisa
[00:09:22] Bombardi now lives in Europe in a union where the
[00:09:25] export of these pesticides continues
[00:09:27] unabated. The commission clearly stated
[00:09:30] in writing that it recognized that there was a problem, an
[00:09:34] aberration, and that it would take it into account and respond
[00:09:37] and move towards a ban on the production and export of these dangerous
[00:09:41] substances.
[00:09:53] European Parliament members and NGOs have received the
[00:09:56] support of the UN human rights council, but the
[00:10:00] European Commission is slow to put forward any legislation, but in
[00:10:03] the land of pesticides, Brazil itself, the worst
[00:10:07] scenario is no longer a given. The landless workers
[00:10:10] movement proves it. This group of... small farmers, independent from
[00:10:16] the world's biggest producers of organic rice without the
[00:10:19] use of any chemical products. until
[00:10:22] 2001 I worked planting with... including tobacco with my family
[00:10:26] and other conventional products
[00:10:29] and then one thing I felt is that
[00:10:33] until then I had many health problems, but I believe it was
[00:10:36] the relationship with the use of pesticides and poisons
[00:10:39] that I used before that led me to have
[00:10:42] a healthier life, right? It's been 18 years that we have been producing
[00:10:46] certified organic rice, this process started with a few
[00:10:50] families and every year more are joining.
[00:10:53] se incorporando mais.
[00:11:02] So it is a very great achievement I would say, it is a struggle, let's say, that is
[00:11:06] based on the idea of justice, it is possible to feed the
[00:11:10] Brazilian population sufficiently, that is,
[00:11:13] achieving food security and food sovereignty, with
[00:11:17] quality, with food free of pesticides, it is a light at the end
[00:11:21] of the tunnel, it is a very auspicious experience that shows to...
[00:11:33] nature rather than against it. They're showing the way forward,
[00:11:37] paving the path towards a different future for their health,
[00:11:41] their country and our planet.
[00:12:05] Sharp to the point, round table shuts out the
[00:12:09] noise and gives you the detail. John Kerry told round
[00:12:12] table, Poland has, we're here in Berlin. Take a seat and
[00:12:16] listen to those who really know what's going on. War in Europe,
[00:12:19] distrust, our needs an argument. And there are very specific
[00:12:23] reasons why Trump has gone off. who's gonna blink first?
[00:12:27] confusing world, we're here to clear the vlog, you'll
[00:12:30] understand exactly where you are, round table on

[00:13:31] Five years on from the fall of Kabul, western governments are
[00:13:34] abandoning their commitments to human rights. That's the accusation
[00:13:38] from a former US enter.
[00:13:41] The way that they engage the Taliban and the fact that they do so
[00:13:45] without having women and non talib Afghans at the
[00:13:48] table, has emboldtened the taliban and has further
[00:13:51] delegitimized Afghan women and girls who are...
[00:13:55] demanding uh something very different from the international
[00:13:58] community, and the former Afghan minister says women and girls are
[00:14:02] being written out of
[00:14:03] society.
[00:14:06] We call gender of that. It is not only the
[00:14:09] issue of, I mean the rights of education, so
[00:14:13] their rights to work, the health care,
[00:14:16] totally I can say that women are raised from the
[00:14:19] public. Afghanistan, five years on,
[00:14:23] on the next bigger than five with.
[00:14:29] A journey across a dynamic
