Welcome
distinguished viewers!
September 7, 2010
marks the Fourth Year
Anniversary of
Supreme Master
Television.
For four consecutive years,
with your delightful
and loyal company,
we have had the privilege
of bringing you
constructive news
from various regions
of the globe.
At this urgent time
for our planetary home,
humanity is being urged
to end the conflicts we've
created with one another,
Mother Nature,
our animal co-inhabitants.
Nations everywhere
are answering the call for
peace and understanding,
as reported by
our international
correspondents.
On this joyful occasion,
please join us
for this presentation
of event highlights in
Supreme Master
Television's
Constructive News
for an Elevated Planet.
The Middle East
Our tour
around the world begins
in the Middle East and
Africa, where diplomacy
and charity have reigned
over the past year.
From the beautiful
United Arab Emirates,
Greetings!
I’m standing before the
Burj Al Arab in Dubai.
There has been a lot of
humanitarian activities in
the region this past year.
Kuwait sent her
4th humanitarian aid
shipment to Yemen and
funded the building of a
new hospital in Lebanon.
And the United Arab
Emirates donated
US$10 million to support
projects in the Maldives.
In ecology news,
Saudi Arabia has been
working to enhance the
organic farming sector.
Here in the United Arab
Emirates, there has been
good news about
women’s achievements.
In May 2010,
Dr. Hessa Abdullah
Ahmad Al Otaiba became
the United Arab Emirates’
first ambassador
to the Vatican and
the Vatican’s first ever
female envoy to
represent her country.
Earlier in the year,
speaking at
the Arab Women’s
Leadership Forum,
United Arab Emirates
Prime Minister
His Highness Sheikh
Mohammed bin Rashid
Al Maktoum called for
government support
for professional women
in all fields.
Reporting for
Supreme Master
Television, from Dubai,
United Arab Emirates.
In more good news,
in spring 2010, Lebanese
and Syrian leaders
renewed relations.
They since continued
strengthening
cooperation.
In Lebanon, plans began
to plant more than
a million trees annually.
Jordan’s Hashemite
Charity donated
hundreds of tons of
food aid to comfort
the less fortunate
in Gaza, Palestine.
Moreover,
after the approval of
Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad (who is also
a medical doctor),
a smoking ban
on all public places
took effect in April.
Implementing its own
smoking ban
since the end of 2009,
the Palestinian Authority
also raised taxes on
the price of cigarettes
to encourage smokers
to quit.
It was the fourth increase
in two years –
and it won't be the last.
With Iraq's smoking ban,
which was actually
one of the first
in the Middle East,
media are banned from
advertising cigarettes
and instead inform about
smoking harms.
Public education
continues
through newspaper,
through Iraqi TV
Prevention is the
most important factor
in the public health.
May all be healthy,
safe, and happy!
Halo from Iran
to the world!
This year, Iran
continued developing
peaceful relationships
with other countries
while affirming support
for the elimination
of nuclear weapons.
In May, a new
cardiac bio-implant
manufacturing plant
began constructing
lifesaving cardiac valves
from human-made
materials,
replacing the need for
live transplant tissue.
In especially exciting
news, more Iranian
people are quickly
joining the veg trend
for their health
and to save the planet!
Reporting from Iran
for Supreme Master
Television.
Shalom (Peace)!
In December 2009,
the Israeli government
issued a ban on the sale
of alcohol between
11 PM and 7 AM, and
prohibited alcohol sales
to youth less than
21 years of age.
After developing a way
to double our crop output
with 30% less water,
in June officials went to
several African nations
to share the method.
The Ministerial
Committee on Law
unanimously approved
a ban on all import,
export, production
and marketing of fur.
That’s some constructive
news from Israel,
for Supreme Master
Television.
I would like to thank
Supreme Master TV
for giving me the chance
to have programs
on the Palestinian people
and their heritage,
and just show the world
the beauty that they have
and the art that they
have within their heritage
and their history
and their culture.
And all this is, of course,
to promote peace
among all people.
The world cannot
live together unless
they have peace
among each other.
I wish you all the best
and congratulations.
From the Middle East,
let's now go to Africa
and our correspondents
on location.
Africa
Greetings.
In February 2010,

vegetarianism.
They taught 1,000 women
about the harms of eating
meat and the benefits
of a vegetarian diet.
Also, Ghana hosted
the Second West African
Vegetarian Congress
which emphasized
the vegan diet to
halt global warming.
Elsewhere

Halo from Cameroon!
This year, farmers
in Cameroon and four
other African nations
were trained in organic
farming methods.
With 5,000 farmers
obtaining certification,
there resulted
a dramatic boost in sales
of their produce.
In eastern-central Africa,
Rwanda became
the second nation
after Mozambique
without British
constitutional links
to become a member
of the Commonwealth
of Nations.
In addition, Tanzania
naturalized 162,000
previously displaced
Burundi people.
Commending the action
as the most generous
of its kind anywhere,
the United Nations
High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR)
encouraged other
countries to do similarly.
Reporting from Cameroon
for central Africa.
Welcome to South Africa!
First, in neighboring
Angola, the government
succeeded in providing
clean water
to many citizens
in Benguela province.
And the Zimbabwean
government granted new
licenses to newspapers
in support of greater
freedom of the press.
In South Africa, 30,000
guns were surrendered
in a 3-month
National Firearm
Amnesty program
for removing weaponry
to further peace.
The 2010
Soccer World Cup was
held in South Africa.
It was a time of unity and
pride for all of Africa!
Oh Africa!

how we could
all live together
for a better world
is how I live my life.

more anniversaries
and continue to positively
impact the world
and make a difference
in the lives of others.

Let's find out about some
of the memorable events
that have occurred
during the past year
in North America.
North America
Welcome to
Washington, DC, USA,
our nation’s capital.
Some of our most
shining achievements
this past year include
President Barack
Obama’s leadership
in forging a world free of
nuclear weapons through
both an arms reduction
treaty with Russia
and a meeting on
global nuclear
non-proliferation.
By upholding our own
commitments
under the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty,
we strengthen our global
efforts to stop the spread
of these weapons.
US First Lady
Michelle Obama
cultivated a bigger
organic vegetable garden
while continuing to
encourage children to
eat more fresh produce
and to exercise.
Finally, a 98-year effort
came to close
in March 2010 when
the US Congress voted to
approve a healthcare
reform bill designed
to assist those in need.
Signing off
in Washington DC for
Supreme Master
Television.
Welcome to Texas, a big
Southern US state with
an even bigger heart!
In charity news,
40 of the United States'
billionaire families
and individuals joined
philanthropists
Bill and Melinda Gates
and Warren Buffet
to pledge at least half of
their wealth to charity –
that's a combined
donation value of
US$125 billion!
In veg news, Maryland
state leaders went veg
for Veg Week for
health and the planet.
Try vegetarianism.
The health benefits
are self evident and
the environmental
benefits are great.
And in August, the final
4,000 US combat troops
departed from Iraq, as
thousands more soldiers
returned home and
were happily reunited
with their families.
Supreme Master
Television,
Dallas, Texas, USA
Salutations
from San Francisco,
California, the first city
in the USA to encourage
plant-based eating
by declaring Mondays
“Vegetarian Day.”
There are now a total of
12 Loving Hut
vegan restaurants in
California and Arizona
alone.
Here's a trend
we look forward to
seeing more of: Due to
strong customer demand,
Cruzer Pizza
in Los Feliz, California
recently transformed
into a vegan restaurant.
In the nine months
since the change,
business has been better
than ever!
Who knew
saving the planet could
be so good for business,
people, and animals!
Reporting from
San Francisco, USA.
I just want to say
to everybody: Join me!

In constructive news
from Canada,
the annual Group of 20
(G20) and Group of 8
(G8) meetings were held
here in Toronto in June,
the same month that the
Canadian government
forgave the Republic
of Congo’s debt.
The government has also
been boosting support
for the organic farming
sector.
And in sports,
Vancouver hosted the
2010 Winter Olympics
and Paralympics.

Supreme Master
Television
from Toronto, Canada.
Greetings
from Quebec, Canada.
This year in April,
the Montreal Millennium
Summit was held to discuss
poverty elimination
from different angles,
including climate change
and its devastating impact
on millions of people.
The Summit also discussed
the reconstruction
of Haiti in light of
the January earthquake
tragedy and thus
reflected the solidarity
shown in the Americas
and internationally.
It was while the earth
was shaking and
everybody was running,
I went to see and I saw
that the house had
collapsed on my mother.
On January 12, 2010,
a huge earthquake
devastated the capital
and other parts of Haiti.
The people prayed to God,
mourned, and were
grateful for the help
from all over the world.
Giving her loving support
over the next months
was Supreme Master
Ching Hai,
who ensured that
specific urgent needs
were met, for medicine,
food, and shelter.
The Haitian people
gladly embraced the
wholesome vegan fare
and felt renewed hope
for their future.
Thank you,
Master Ching Hai!
Halo green viewers!
In May 2010,
Costa Rica inaugurated
her new president,
Her Excellency
Laura Chinchilla.

In constructive news from
Mexico, in April 2010,
Mexico City inaugurated
a bike sharing program
called “Ecobici.”
In fact, thanks to
government efforts,
studies announced that
the city’s air quality
improved substantially
compared to a decade ago.
With worsening
climate change,
officials also recognized
the need to restrain
livestock activities
to conserve water.
We look forward to
bold leadership
to save the planet before
the coming COP 16
United Nations
Climate Change Conference
hosted here in Mexico.
Reporting from Mexico
for Supreme Master
Television.
In a November 2009
videoconference
in Mexico,
Supreme Master Ching Hai
encouraged
all world governments
toward leading roles
in the needed shift
to veganism
to save the planet.
The governments
have the power to make
this urgent transition
to the organic vegan diet.
First, they should ban
all animal products,
informing people
about the facts
of animal products,
explaining that because
it’s poisoning their
co-citizens and piling up
far more costs than
any gains, economically
and environmentally,
and because
it’s eating up our planet.
According to respected
Dutch scientists, tens
of trillions of US dollars
can be saved by
world governments if all
the world becomes vegan.
In addition, the
governments of the world
have the power to
make the veg trend
an exciting movement
for everyone toward
a healthier lifestyle.
We thank you
for your presence
as we mark the coming
4th Year Anniversary of
Supreme Master
Television,
your constructive
global TV channel.

A message that
I can send to the viewers
is to continue

good TV station.
We have to listen to it
because it can give us
some energy.
Keep on going.
Long life!
Fourth Anniversary already,
four years already!
So I wish you a long life,
a long life,
even an eternal life,
and I also wish you
many realizations.
Hope is something
that is always there,
so I send you much hope,
much love.
Thanks Supreme Master
for all the promotion
about veganism
you are doing.
Myself, I am a vegan,
and for all the reasons;
for environment,
for health, and especially
for the animals.
Please remember,

Oceania
Today let's first hear
from our correspondents
in the Pacific region
reporting
for New Zealand,
Samoa, and Australia.
Greetings to all of you!
Greetings
from New Zealand!
As the Maori say,
“E raka te mauī,
e raka te katau,”
meaning:
A community can use
all the skills of its people.
Recognizing that only
a healthy community
can be the most useful,
the government
passed tougher laws
restricting alcohol
as well as a 10% increase
in the tobacco tax –
which brought the price
of one pack of cigarettes
to over US$10.
One smoking cessation
group noted that
a previous tobacco tax
increase resulted in
triple the number of
callers seeking help
to quit the habit.
Reporting for
Supreme Master
Television

Farewell!
Halo!
On April 28 this year,
Samoa ratified
the Convention
on Cluster Munitions.
It is one of the most
important international
disarmament treaties.
Samoa will join 31
other nations to clear
all contaminated land
within 10 years and
be rid of all stockpiles
within eight.
Wishing peace and love
to all from
the Samoan people!
G’day everyone!
We’re in Brisbane,
Australia.
This past year,
Queensland and Victoria
banned smoking in cars
with children,
South Australia prohibited
tobacco product displays
in shops,
and the Australian
government allotted
funds to reduce smoking
among indigenous groups.
In environmental news,
a recent report indicated
that livestock grazing
is the cause of most of
Australia’s tree clearing.
We looked at what
was driving deforestation;
what was driving
loss of biodiversity;
what was driving
soil degradation;
what was driving
soil loss in Australia;
what was driving water
quality loss in Australia
and we found that
there is a common cause.
The common cause
is land clearing
for raising livestock.
Meanwhile, the eminent
Professor Frank Fenner
of Australian National
University warned that
climate change is
spelling mass extinction
for many species –
including our own.
The good news is,
alarming facts lead to
lifestyle changes:
a veg trend has been
on the rise!
Halo everyone,
people of the world.
Come to Australia.
Get down here, have
a vegetarian barbeque
with us.
We’ll all have
a good time.
Be Veg,

Asia
In constructive news
from Asia,
regional friendships
have been growing
stronger than ever.
For instance,
foreign ministers from
Pakistan, Iran and
Afghanistan signed
an agreement to
work together in halting
illegal drug and weapons
activities for
greater regional peace.
Tajikistan and Pakistan,
along with Russia, are
assisting Afghanistan in
economic development,
and Uzbekistan and
Kyrgyzstan reached
an agreement
on shared borders,
with Uzbekistan
welcoming people
displaced due to conflict
from Kyrgyzstan .
In addition,
China continued
deepening elations with
Formosa (Taiwan),
India, Myanmar (Burma),
Japan, and
the Association of
South East Asian Nations
(ASEAN).
We'll also find out
how the Earth-saving
veg trend has been
gaining momentum
in this region.
Let's now go to
our correspondents.
Halo everyone
from China!
I’m standing at
the beautiful Beihai Park

Finally, to protect
regional wildlife,
Yichun City of Heilongjian
banned all hunting
and fishing throughout
a 4 million hectare forest.

Halo from Mongolia!
This year,
Mongolian President
Tsakhia Elbegdorj
called for a ban
on the death penalty and
announced a moratorium
on capital punishment.
Mongolia thus was
honored with the Shining
World Leadership Award
from Supreme Master
Ching Hai.
Meanwhile,
Mongolian people also
are extending compassion
and saving lives,
as reflected in the rapidly
growing number of
veg eateries!
See you later
from Mongolia!
Yes, we are at the
Gwanghwamoon Gate
in Seoul, South Korea!
In humanitarian news,
our country recently
boosted anti-malaria aid
to neighboring
North Korea.
As we know,
peace begins with us –
and at the dining table.
South Korean leaders
and co-citizens
thus have supported
the organic vegan diet.
The major cause of
global warming
is rather methane gas.
We absolutely have to
reduce meat consumption.
I want more people
to know that
the vegetarian diet
is crucial to creating
a good environment.
Vegetarianism
is progress!
Also, Loving Hut
in South Korea,
as encouraged by
Supreme Master Ching Hai,
have been among
the fastest growing in
the world this past year.

solar power plant
was launched
in Kaohsiung County.
Most importantly,
the veg trend has reached
unprecedented heights
in Formosa this year.
Governments and schools
rally for meat-free meals.
Okay!
Global warming
is becoming worse.
As to the vegetarian diet,
I think
we can encourage it.
Doctors and chefs
encourage
a healthy veg diet.
We must take great care
and change our habits.
There’s no need to
spend money; just
stop eating the animals.

In 2010, Indonesia
was privileged to host
a couple international
climate change
conferences.
For instance, in April,
the first International
Muslim Conference
on Climate Change
was held in West Java,
Indonesia, seeking ways
to motivate Muslims in
upholding “khalifah,” or
stewardship of nature.
Among
the steps that we need to
save this Earth is to have
more organic farming,
encourage people
to eat less meat.
Even in Islam, there is
a teaching which is
laid down on that, which
we are now asking all the
ulama (Muslim scholars)
to translate that so that
they are aware of this.
This is Supreme Master
Television in Indonesia.
Extreme weather events
have been linked to
global warming –
such as the recent rains
and mudslides in China
and massive floods
in Pakistan.
Causing much sorrow,
they have reminded us
of the plight
we as one humankind
must face together to
save lives and the planet.
In late July,
Pakistan experienced
her worst ever floods that
displaced over 20 million
people and claimed
at least 1,600 lives.
We suffered a lot, we had
a lack of clean water and
had to drink flood water.
Pakistan's government
has been working to
provide relief directly
as well as supporting
international efforts
despite vast challenges.
We need
rapid, huge support.
There are millions
of people displaced.
Have great courage,
do not despair and have
a strong sense of hope.
I’m here to bring
the hope and future,
better future
for all of you.
God-willing!
As always,
Supreme Master Ching Hai
quickly sent
financial help and our
Association's relief
and medical teams
to do their part.
With prayers
for the affected,
may disaster victims
everywhere be protected
and such events subside
through
our gentler lifestyles.

Supreme Master
Television.
Greetings!
Afghanistan has been
making progress towards
peace and prosperity.
In June,
around 1,600 delegates
concluded a three-day
peace jirga,
or traditional council
by affirming their support
for President Hamid
Karzai’s peace proposal.
We need the advice
from all different parts
of our country.
What’s more, this year,
the western Afghan
province of Herat has
had its first successful
saffron harvest,
as a new good livelihood
source for farmers.
That’s news
from Afghanistan for
Supreme Master
Television.
Namaste (greeting)!
Thanks to
the Indian government,
every child is now
guaranteed free education.
Also, all citizens
in Assam state receive
basic healthcare.
In animal welfare news,
Bihar ordered a strict
enforcement of ban
on dolphin hunting,
Orissa implemented
measures to protect
endangered turtles, and
Karnataka joined
other states in banning
cow slaughter.
That’s just some of the
caring news from India.
Halo!
May Buddha bless you!
This year
Nepali government
leaders sought to
raise awareness of
the rapid melting of
the Himalayas due to
global warming by
holding the highest
altitude cabinet meeting
ever at the 5,240-meter
Mount Everest Base Camp.
What’s more, in July,
an all-woman
mountain climbing team
set off to climb
the tallest peaks on each
of the seven continents
to raise awareness
on climate change.
To show how green
they really are, all nine
Nepali women became
vegan for the tour!
So we need to act now,
both at individual levels,
things that we can
change in our lifestyle,
and also at the level
of government.
Be Veg,
Go Green
2 Save the Planet!
This is Supreme Master
Television in Nepal
During an October 2009
climate change event
in Formosa (Taiwan),
honored guest
Supreme Master Ching Hai
shared via
videoconference
the promise of a brighter
future should humanity
do what it takes
to halt climate change.
So, what should we
insist on giving up
to save our only planet?
The answer you have
already, that is,
we give up meat and then
we plant organic vegetables.
Very simple, very simple.
It’s not much change,
not much demand
on anybody at all.
At least give up meat
and the world
will become a paradise.
And we will continue
to have this world and
a better world to live in.

Hi, I am Intan Ladyana.
I would like to wish a
Happy 4th Anniversary
to Supreme Master TV.
Be Veg,
Go Green
2 Save the Planet!
Welcome
distinguished viewers!
September 7, 2010
marks the Fourth Year
Anniversary of
Supreme Master
Television.
For four consecutive years,
with your delightful
and loyal company,
we have had the privilege
of bringing you
constructive news
from various regions
of the globe.
At this urgent time
for our planetary home,
humanity is being urged
to end the unfortunate conflicts we've
created with one another,
Mother Nature,
our animal co-inhabitants.
Nations everywhere
are answering the call for
peace and understanding,
as reported by
our international
correspondents.
On this joyful occasion,
please join us
for this presentation
of event highlights in
Supreme Master
Television's
Constructive News
for an Elevated Planet.
South America
In South America,
leaders worked together
toward harmony
and mending ties,
notably between
Colombia and Venezuela.
Reaching across
the Atlantic, the
Mercosur regional bloc,
including Argentina,
Brazil, Paraguay, and
Uruguay, signed
an agreement with
the European Union on
sustainable development.
In addition, Bolivia
hosted the “People’s
World Conference on
Climate Change and the
Rights of Mother Earth,”
in which over 35,000
people from around
the globe particpated
to discuss how
global warming
can be kept to
within a one-degree rise.
Before we had
plenty of rain.
Now, it has practically
changed: There is hail,
wind, there is drought,
there is much heat.
Because the livestock
exploitation preys on
forests, preys on the Earth,
there is a very strong
trend which goes against
this agriculture geared
to the business
of maximizing profit.
Our correspondents
bring us more
constructive news
highlights.
Halo! We are in front
of the Chapel of
Santa Maria de los Angeles
in Bogotá, the
capital city of Colombia.
The Chapel of
Santa Maria de los Angeles
was opened in 1920
and chosen by the most
famous people of Bogotá
to perform their
religious ceremonies.
In June,
the United Nations Office
on Drugs and Crime
reported that Colombia’s
illegal drug control
policy adopted
in the past few years
is getting good results.
[Illegal] coca production
declined by 16%
within one year,
a much bigger decline
than in the region.
With prayers
for a drug-free and
harmonious world,
this is Supreme Master
Television
in Bogotá, Colombia.
Halo everyone
from São Paulo, Brazil!
Thanks to measures
implemented by the
Brazilian government,
the National Institute
of Space Research
announced a 50%
reduction in
Amazonian deforestation
from August
to November 2009
compared to the same
time period in 2008.
Of course, there is still
a long way to go
to save the Amazon,
“the lungs of the Earth,”
which is why we are glad
that the country’s
largest city, São Paulo,
started Meatless Mondays
since November 2009.
It was launched by the
Secretary of Green and
Environment of São Paulo
Dr. Eduardo Jorge
Martins Alves Sobrinho
and the Brazilian
Vegetarian Society.
The issue of
global warming is
the most widespread
challenge that
humanity has ever faced.
Reducing meat consumption
and being vegetarian
is the most
effective contribution
that each one of us
can do in the fight
against climate change.
May we soon have
a saved and
greener planet!

Supreme Master
Television.
Greetings from Peru!
In November 2009,
Peruvian Production
Minister Mercedes Aráoz
called on other
neighboring states to
cooperate together to
limit individual
military spending and
thus allocate more
for social programs.
In more good news, Peru
is working to provide
safe drinking water
and sanitation
to 4 million people,
as assured by President
Alan García Pérez.
Supreme Master
Television,
Perú.
Warm regards
from Santiago, Chile!
On February 27, 2010,
a massive 8.8 magnitude
earthquake hit Chile
which claimed
more than 500 people
while affecting
two million more.
There was an outpouring
of international aid from
near and far, and
Supreme Master Ching Hai
immediately contributed
emergency aid and
sent our Association’s
relief team to help
the most afflicted.
Thanks to
Supreme Master Ching Hai,
for the contributions here
in the city Constitución.
The good news is that
Chilean people are
recovering and also
embracing the
planet-stabilizing veg diet.
As reported,
meat consumption
in Chile saw a marked
decrease in 2009.
With hope
and gratefulness,
reporting from Chile!
I would like
to congratulate you,
send all my love
for the great work you do
in defense of nature,
in defense of the planet,
in defense of the animals.
We are many people now,
so courage, strength,
and let’s go
keep going forward!
Go Green,
Be Veg
2 Save the Planet!
Europe
The nations of Europe
led by example through
their humanitarian efforts
and endeavors to
protect the environment.
With 1.2 billion people
who still lack access
to potable water, the
European Commission
has been placing
more focus on this valued
resource, while making
generous aid donations
around the world.
The European
Commission is also
working to allow
more refugees from
areas of conflict and
developing nations to
settle in member states.
In May 2010, over
500 European mayors
gathered to sign
a declaration known as
the Covenant of Mayors
to pledge to reduce
carbon emissions
more than 20% by 2020,
beyond the
European Union’s goal.
In December 2009,
European Parliament
held a hearing titled
“Climate Change
and Food Policy:
Less Meat = Less Heat,”
inviting as speakers
former Beatles artist
Sir Paul McCartney, and
Dr. Rajendra Pachauri,
esteemed Chair of
the United Nations
Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change
and vegetarian.
What can the European
Parliament do,
and the governments
of the world?
I suggest that they could
encourage and guide
people to reduce
meat consumption.
It's no longer
a personal choice.
This is something
that’s going to affect
the whole of the planet.
From Supreme Master
Television
for Sir Paul McCartney.
How do you think
we can encourage people
to change their
eating habits,
education-wise, and also
in the compassion issue?
I think what needs to be
done is to point out
the dangers of
not changing
our eating habits.
There are a lot of facts
available.
I think we just have to
encourage people,
to guide them, to help
them make the transition.
But I think it’s doable,
it’s very possible.
I think we have to
use every means to
mitigate the emissions of
greenhouse gases, and
I’d submit to you once
again that cutting down
on meat consumption
would be an extremely
effective way of doing so.
Our correspondents bring
us more laudable news
from location.
Greetings from Paris,
France!
We are in front of the
Notre Dame Cathedral.
This year
the French government
donated €32 million
towards the availability
of clean water
in Âu Lạc (Vietnam) and
placed the foundation
stone for a new
industrial park in
Bethlehem, Palestine,
donating €10 million
for the infrastructure.
Also, the Ministry of
Sustainable Development
is planting
nectar-bearing flowers
along 250 kilometers of
roadsides to help revive
populations of honey bees.
See you later
from France!
Welcome to Spain!
We’re here in Granada,
the city of the Alhambra,
monuments declared
World Heritage Site.
Animal rights were
a strong theme this year
in the country
as Catalonia became
second community,
after the Canary Islands
to ban bullfighting.
And in sports news,
Spain won the 2010
FIFA World Cup
championship!
Those were highlights
from Spain for
Supreme Master
Television.
Finland has banned
cigarettes from being
displayed in stores.
In addition, smoking is prohibited
in cars with passengers
under 18 years of age.
Over the next three years,
tobacco vending machines
will be phased out.
Within the coming
30 years,
the nation hopes that
the debilitating addiction
will no longer exist.
Also, the Helsinki City
Council voted for
a weekly vegetarian day
throughout the city’s
schools to help mitigate
climate change, save
costs, and protect health.
Here’s to a long life,
from Finland!
Halo
peace-loving viewers!
Here in Slovenia,
a neighborly friendship
has been growing.
To ease Croatia’s entry
to the European Union,
in November 2009,
the Prime Ministers of
Slovenia and Croatia
signed a historic accord
that accepts
international arbitration
regarding
a shared border.
After the agreement was
ratified in both countries,
it was further approved
by Slovenia’s public
referendum in June 2010.
Wishing harmony to all,
reporting from Slovenia!
That is indeed great news
for Croatia as well.
In more news to
look forward to, Croatia
signed a declaration
on forming a joint
rail company with
Slovenia and Serbia to
enable more efficient
transport and easier
international travels.
What’s more,
with the leadership of the
new Croatian President
Ivo Josipovic,
our country entered
a new era of cooperation
with Serbia.

Supreme Master
Television.
Halo!
Russian President
Dmitry Medvedev
in July signed a new ban
on drunk driving.
The new zero tolerance
law, which came into
effect in August,
is to reduce accidents
and is similar to other
government protective
actions against
drugs and gambling.
Russia is also on track
to be rid of
all chemical weapons.
And here in Moscow,
people celebrated
their first veg fest
in July-August.
Reporting for
Supreme Master
Television from Moscow.
Halo!
This year in 2010
Turkey welcomed
the historic visit of
Iraqi Kurdish leader
Massoud Barzani,
expanded the rights
of Turkish Kurds,
and welcomed a group
of Turkish Kurds who
relinquished
their weapons
to support peace.
Diplomatic relations
with Armenia were
re-established and
trade with Greece
was expanded.
Animal rights
also advanced with
the introduction of
a free 24-hour
animal ambulance.
Reporting from Turkey
for Supreme Master
Television.
Greetings!
This year,
Cyprus began work on
the largest wind farm
in the Mediterranean.
We also implemented one
of the toughest indoor
smoking bans in Europe
to protect public health.
In addition, then-Greek
Cypriot President
Dimitris Christofias and
Turkish Cypriot leader
Mehmet Ali Talat
resumed peace talks, with
both affirming their wish
to resolve issues for the
benefit of all residents
on the island of Cyprus.
Efforts were renewed
to build a new
border crossing to
further strengthen
relations.
And in June, Sufi Muslim
mystic Sheikh Nazim
traveled from the north to
greet Pope Benedict XVI.
That’s constructive news
from Cyprus for
Supreme Master
Television.
Good day from Cologne,
Germany!
A new film,
“The Fourth Revolution:
Energy Autonomy,”
debuted in cinemas
in March demonstrating
that the world can meet
100% of energy demand
through
sustainable energy.
As organic agriculture
grew more popular,
Bremen became the first
German city to introduce
a weekly Veggie Day.
And scientists at
the Potsdam Institute for
Climate Impact Research
recently highlighted
the importance of
reducing meat and dairy
to curb emissions.
Supreme Master
Television, Germany.
Welcome to Holland!
This past year,
the Netherlands donated
US$23.5 million
to Sudan for safe water.
In May,
a new documentary,
“Sea the Truth,” exposed
the destruction of fishing.
As the United Nations
reported,
all the world’s oceans
could be completely
depleted in just 40 years.
The film’s answer?
Stop eating fish –
to keep the oceans alive
so that they can
keep us alive.
Signing off from
the Netherlands for
Supreme Master
Television.
Greetings from London,
the United Kingdom.
In a landmark study
published in
the prestigious Lancet
medical journal,
British researchers
determined that reducing
livestock production and
meat consumption are
the only way to meet
the country's ambitious
carbon emission
reduction goals –
and the least expensive.
It’s also the best
for improving overall
public health, as
the study calculated that
the UK would prevent
thousands of
meat-related fatalities
a year.
You can't ignore the food
and agricultural sector
if you're serious about
reducing greenhouse gas
emissions
quite dramatically,
which is what we know
has to be done.
A greater awareness of
the climate costs of all
of our actions, including
our choice about
what we eat,
is urgently needed.
There's many people
who don't consume
very much animal
products and meat and
other animal products,
some who are purely
vegetarian and vegan,
and all these different
dietary patterns
are compatible with
a healthy lifestyle.
May we all choose
the plant-based diet
to save our lives
and the planet.
Supreme Master
Television, London,
United Kingdom.
So, to return ourselves
and our world
to a purer state,
we have to
stop the killing
of innocent animals.
Stop it now.
Stop it now
and turn to
the merciful way of life.
The natural way of life
that God intended us
to live,
which is the vegan diet.
This will restore
the conscience of
every person who adopts
such a lifestyle as well as
the planet itself.
This has been our 2010
constructive news review
from around the world,
celebrating the upcoming
4th year anniversary
of Supreme Master
Television,
your constructive
global TV channel.
Now, please join us for
Words of Wisdom,
up next after
Noteworthy News.
May Heaven bless
your life with
peace and happiness.
Although I am new
to know about
Supreme Master Television
I see that the network
does more than its share
in bringing the good news
to households.
I will also do my best
to make more and more
people enjoy this network.
I celebrate
the 4th Anniversary
of Supreme Master TV
in the broadcasting world.
I want to wish you
good luck and success
in your mission and
your spiritual evolution.
As a researcher of
near-death experiences,
I definitely support
the idea of respecting
all life including
the life of animals,
which clearly in my mind
has a soul.
So being vegan,
not killing animals
for me is a sign of
very high evolution and
I believe promoting
this universal respect and
love for all living beings
is a very noble cause and
I wish you great success
on your mission.
Happy 4th Anniversary
to Supreme Master
Television!
And Be Veg,
Go Green
2 Save the Planet!
Supreme Master
Television will be

that Supreme Master
Television makes
an effort to do that!
