G. O. S he has encouraged loggers and miners for example to take over land in places like this one and thats why theyre saying that mount the fires that were seeing here have increased in the past in the past this past month.

Well like in every other country in the world it depends who you are going who you talked with been talking to environmental groups who are extremely war even with what is happening in the country theyre saying stuff that comes that between and deals and the government was over. That was when i dont once again starting over us why they say that they already had for example in places like this when they were already working with communities helping them fight deforestation among other things and that valued most when i dont has once again opened up another fight but then of course you talk to people in places like this one many of them are supporters of the precedents in fact who are trying to rent a plane in order to be able to make it to a place thats where of a big fire apparently is happening and we were told that the plane was not going to be rented to us because we were from the press and we were spreading lies about president valuables and i dont many of the people that are living in the face say that so the situation is being exaggerated by International Media well when you talk to environmental groups were just seeing some of the maps that they have been seeing maps created through satellites and what theyre saying is that theres been an increase and 80 percent increase in the past year of the amount of fires that are being set in the amazon rain forest and theyre saying that what hes always that they need the press in fact right now.

Himself because we know hes a nationalist party this leader hes been very clear he says he doesnt believe in Climate Change theres a control of a sea like this at home and then also the sort of statements of International Concern just sort of give him fuel to kind of reinforce his base of support. I dont think so particularly his minister of agriculture for instance a very competent in this article by the way a lady that is at the cinema is not with the president on this because she knows that for presumably coulter remain me. It is probably the most productive open culture in the world we did it on the amazon them on the pass to be there because the amazon im a song is what got her into rain actors in brazil and part of the reason brazil is so productive the recall is the rain the rain comes from the amazon add to that lots of lent lots of Science Research and science for the best 40 years i think the president will and he is starting to get a shows that he with it will listen and you will understand because not only its is in the National Interest all were super super surfer who protect the forest for reasons that i just indicated it is also obviously brazil coots ace sanctions from under sparkler the opium of countries but as you just heard the agreement of a lot would spark americans who are with.

Health officials saying a patient has died after developing a severe lung disease in the 1st such case they suspect is linked to vaporing the patient was one of 193. 00 potential cases of the unexplained respect illness after reported use of east cigarettes to inhale vaporize nicotine or cannabis now hoping is sometimes used as an aid to quit smoking cigarettes but scientists around the world are divided about how safe an alternative it is isa great users dont get exposed to the estimated 7000 chemical constituents present in cigarettes but vaporing products do contain nicotine which is of course highly addictive but we know that they also contain other potentially harmful substances the use of the cigarettes has skyrocketed in recent years particularly among adolescents 3600000 middle and High School Students in the u.

Our medicines and Health Regulator agents it looks at any adverse event and there has been nothing to report it apart from you know dry cough a little bit of a sore throat in the early stages and we know that people stopping smoking experience that anyway and i think its important to actually get the message out to smokers that is a very very your say but i see your saying that this could be linked to if there is lung disease or asperity or less this could actually possibly be linked to a previous history of smoking actual cigarettes as opposed of aping oh yes i mean clearly a lot of most vapors were smokers originally and you know somebody that smoked for 203040 years will of developed all sorts of problems that are related to smoking now theyd switch to vaporing in the hope of improving their health but that doesnt wipe out the the years of now im reshape what you say. What you say about there being a difference perhaps in the way the u. S. And the u. K. Protests but it is important that the u. S.
