    US government funding 'shadow' networks
    Uploaded by AlJazeeraEnglish on 12 Jun 2011 The Obama administration is funding so-called "shadow" internet and cell phone networks, which allow activists to operate independently of government controls. The "shadow" networks are portable kits that fit in suitcases, which could maintain ad-hoc computer networks useful to activists in places where internet is either inaccessible or being monitored. One team of technologists in Washington, DC, has received a government grant to build a portable network. Al Jazeera's Monica Villamizar had the opportunity to meet them. She reports from the US capital.

    Ralph Nader: Koch Brothers Led Fight to Defend Formaldehyde Despite Carcinogenic Evidence
    Uploaded by democracynow on 13 Jun 2011 DemocracyNow.org - The government has added formaldehyde to a list of known carcinogens, despite years of lobbying by the chemical industry. Formaldehyde is found in plastics and often used in plywood, particle board, mortuaries and hair salons. Democracy Now! asks longtime consumer advocate Ralph Nader for a quick comment. The government also said Friday that styrene, which is used in boats, bathtubs and in disposable foam plastic cups and plates, may cause cancer. The conservative billionaire Koch Brothers have led the lobbying effort against labeling formaldehyde as a carcinogen. Georgia Pacfic, a subsidiary of Koch Industries, is one of the country's top producers of formaldehyde.

    Blame it on the beansprouts: Germany's E. coli damage
    From: AlJazeeraEnglish | 12 Jun 2011 German officials on Friday said they had found the first direct evidence of deadly E. coli bacteria on vegetable sprouts thought to have killed 33 people and left over 3,000 ill. State officials in North Rhine-Westphalia said they had identified the bacterium on bean sprouts found in the dustbin of a family of three, of whom two members fell ill with E. coli-related symptoms last month. Although the German government on Friday lifted its earlier warning against eating raw tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers, European vegetable producers say the "crisis" has dealt a stinging blow to them at the peak of the fresh produce season in Europe. But why did Germany spend all these weeks to find the source of the outbreak? How much damage has already been done? And what will it take to prevent another outbreak? Inside Story, with presenter Hazem Sika, discusses with Hugh Pennington, a bacteriologist in Aberdeen; Meghnad Desai, an economist and Labour politician in London; and Masha Lipman, a political analyst at Carnegie Moscow Centre.

    Pivotal moment in the downfall of American society?: Former White House economist Jared Bernstein with Laura Flanders
    Looking to date the downfall of American society, future historians may point to the last two weeks as the pivotal period. Among the signposts: Nobel winning labor economist Peter Diamond withdrawing his name for a governorship at the Federal Reserve; unemployment jagging up, house prices plummeting down. So says former White House economist Jared Bernstein. (It'll require future historians because live-time American pols and pundits were absorbed with Rep. Weiner's you know what.) Like Diamond, Bernstein wanted to make a difference from inside -- but he left the administration this April in order to work more effectively on the nation's priorities. We spoke June 7th at his new perch, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

    Activists, miners battle for Blair Mountain
    Uploaded by RTAmerica on 10 Jun 2011 In 1921, West Virginia coal miners rose up against the coal companies and fought to unionize, battling big coal's paramilitaries in the largest armed uprising since the American Civil War. 90 years later, the Battle of Blair Mountain rages on as hundreds of miners, activists and environmentalists march 50 miles to stop the mountaintop removal that they say threatens the water, health and history of Appalachia. But the miners here say coal is everything and that they're also fighting--to survive.
