Maria good friday morning. Thank you so much for joining us this morning unite maria bartiromo. Friday april 26, adm on the east coast. I hope you have a good friday morning. The Supreme Court open to granting some level of immunity to protect over President Trump from prosecution and a civil fraud trial. And the hush money case. Trump praising the highest court yesterday. Watch. I think it was made clear and i hope it was made clear the president has to have immunity. You dont have a president or at most you can say a ceremonial president , that is not what the founders had in mind when the justices were on their game, president ial immunity is imperative for you practically want have a country anymore. Maria this on the heels of the initial arguments that we heard yesterday. The scotus warning that the Supreme Court is seen a dangerous precedent in trumps case if president can prosecute their political rivals. The president may be criminally prosecuted by a bitter political opponent.

Worldwide, governments are under pressure from the biotechnology and agrichemical industries to deregulate products developed using the so-called “new” genetic engineering techniques such as genome editing and gene silencing. A new paper describes how many of the new techniques are not new to science, but because of technical developments can now be applied to more species in less time and for more kinds of traits.

New study points to unintended effects of gene editing in plants and potential negative effects on ecosystems
Gene editing causes drastic unwanted effects in gene-edited plants including severe deformities, a new scientific publication in the journal Environmental Sciences Europe shows. This is the case even when the changes are intended by the gene editor to be small tweaks to existing genes rather than, for example, the introduction of new genetic material.
More broadly, the study provides an overview of the negative effects on ecosystems that can result from the release of gene-edited plants. These unintended effects result from the intended changes induced by genome editing, which can affect various metabolic processes in the plants.

Planning documents for the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit shed new light on the agenda behind the controversial food summit that hundreds of farmers’ and human rights groups are boycotting. The groups say agribusiness interests and elite foundations are dominating the process to push through an agenda that would enable the exploitation of global food systems, and especially Africa.
The documents, including a background paper prepared for summit dialogues and a draft policy brief for the summit, bring into focus “plans for the massive industrialization of Africa’s food systems,” said Mariam Mayet, executive director of the African Centre for Biodiversity (ACB), who provided the documents to U.S. Right to Know.
Monsanto owner Bayer and US officials pressured Mexico to drop glyphosate ban Details
Internal government emails show actions similar to those by Bayer and lobbyists to kill a proposed ban in Thailand in 2019
EXCERPT: “We’re seeing more and more how the pesticide industry uses the US government to aggressively push its agenda on the international stage and quash any attempt by people in other countries to take control of their food supply,” said Nathan Donley, a biologist with the CBD conservation group. -
