is in washington. many cities across the u.s. took part in this second organize march against the agricultural giant monsanto protesters rallying against the company's use of genetically modified organisms and trying to raise awareness about its corporate practices some protesters told us that even though the government is shut down monsanto lobbyists are hard at work here in washington many pouncers by actually came up to activists what we were standing there holding anti g.m.o. signs and asked what is a g.m.o. so awareness is very low in terms of what exactly genetically modified foods are let alone the dangers they cause in the capital the protests began with activists going into large grocery stores and retailers trying to ways raise awareness about controversal insecticides which affect the nervous system and have been repeatedly linked to deaths well the demonstration then made its way to the white house all sorts of activists students even young children our gannett farmers caterers chefs so real wide range of people there

and some other news in brief now thousands of people have rallied in washington d.c. calling for congress to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill police officers arrested two hundred protesters with at least eight house democrats among them as demonstrators blocked traffic in front of capitol hill the so-called commit amerikana rally was aimed at promoting the adoption of legislation that would allow twelve million undocumented immigrants to receive u.s. citizenship. a fire at a clothing factory near the bangladesh capital has killed at least ten people and left over fifty injured because of the blaze has yet to be officially identified as garment industry is the tory is for poor safety standards more than a thousand people died in april when a factory outside dhaka collapsed. six workers at the fukushima nuclear plant in japan are reported to have been contaminated by radiation after one of them mistakenly removed a pipe connected to a water treatment system this is the latest in a string of mishaps at the crippled daiichi plant which suffered triple meltdown

this self-inflicted shutdown is causing panic around the world as washington scrambles to avoid default the global economy is at risk of being forced back into recession well at home millions will have to cut their losses either way deal or no deal businesses that were unable to work at full capacity for public sector contracts which will see delays and payment and unemployment which is already on the rise due to the shutdown but possibly the most ironic thing about this government shutdown now in its third week is that it's not saving money it's costing america at least one hundred sixty million dollars a day and given the crisis has entered its fifteenth day the overall cost could be as much as two and a half billion dollars and that number of course is expected to grow and the political debate is hampering a rise in the debt ceiling but also leaving sick americans out in the cold for each week of the shutdown hundreds of patients cannot be accepted for treatment at the national institutes of health including cancer patients seventy five percent of the staff is not working because of

foreign service as a says a washington keeps showing its war on terror is full of inconsistency. we should reasonably assume that within the u.s. government they have exactly the same data they know that the more that we attack harris the way that we're doing the more terrorism appears and so then the question is well if we're creating more terrorists who are into terrorism activities why are we doing it there's no sensible strategy there's no consistent logical strategy behind us actions we're taking things one piece at a time so here we support one group there we suppress the same group here we talk about terrorists and their we support terrorists in syria there's there's no real consistency in that that shows that that's very strong proof that there is no thought behind what we're doing. and as all coddling to militants push on away the offensive against the government in syria i'm all civilians not stepping forward a civil war volunteers. my family worries a lot but nothing is more precious than our country the homeland where i was raised coming up but we need a syrian woman

that ankara once more leverage and its relationship with washington. the turkish government. of course negotiate this situation with the americans but the americans have to make this point station that turkey is taking part in the production mechanism process until now it was already all said fairly. in turkey therefore their new way of thinking their new set of confidence that turkey wants to be part of the entire process and while tensions are running high within nato turkey is bad for membership in another block the european union is not seeing any progress and as are reports anger is growing increasingly frustrated. always the bridesmaid but never the bride progress over turkey's accession to european union could be best described as. this is like a. platonic love affair the europeans doesn't want turkey to go away totally but doesn't want them in the house the talks started in two thousand and five but brussels still says turkey is not yet ready with the eurozone debt crisis raging turkey's membership plans look far less tempting everybody's concert. in new further enlar

say crowds are gathering in washington d.c. to protest against mass surveillance we're going to say it's going to the largest pro privacy rally in u.s. history campaigners from the start watching his group delivering that petition as we just mentioned let's talk to richard becker rees on the line now organizers say this is going to be a historic progress richard and he will come painters you are what makes it so historic. well i think that we see that people all over the united states are taking action against this incredibly invasive surveillance that the government is carrying out against everyone both here and around the world and this is clearly a violation of the u.s. constitution it's clearly a violation of privacy and the rights of the people so it's very important that people speak out take action and rally and demonstrate against this this practices of the government which are really reprehensible and really drawn a petition now calling for legal reforms but is there any chance that congress has actually got to listen

other powers and i think this is the classic double bind so washington is finding it so that at the moment a lot of this is embarrassing and i think at the end of the snowden has also made clear that he's very sensitive to the security implications of what do you also discloses and he's trying to demonstrate the problem of the surveillance state rather than the more sensitive material that might be arising in standard intelligence gathering procedures the place on a daily basis. we're closely watching all the developments related to the n.s.a. scandal log on to our website at r.t. dot com for the latest updates videos and expert and that. america's spy and practices and all the only is see on the minds of the european leaders gathered in brussels for the e.u. summit a massive flow of illegal immigrants a subsidy discussed two weeks after hundreds of people have drowned while trying to cross the mediterranean or disappeared all of a one to discover how there is law how do you welcome build their new lives away from home. we have feet we are not we have feeling we all want to be jobless home
