Dr. Vandana Shiva speaks about the recent avalanche in Uttarakhand which has left hundreds missing and the causes behind it. How the World Bank’s actions in the 1991 was arguably the start of Indian farmers vs global capitalism. Why India’s farmers are organising en masse to oppose Modi’s neoliberal farming laws, 1 in 4 farmers on Earth being Indian. Multinational farming corporations and their war on India’s independent farmers. The history of the spread of GMO technology such as ‘Roundup’. Why a transition away from industrial farming back to small-scale farming is needed to fight climate change.
Democracy Now! Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza. The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
