swastika, a documentary about this sounds of power, inspiring story about survival of the home and you go get the tennis. i was the only one was in nazi germany. watch now on youtube dw documentary, the big dreams, brazil's new super talent spring. glory and lots of cash, the locals out will the area around the temples of ankle. what soon be just the tourists and china means big business in columbia that who's paying the price? the
2:31 am
cost. uh, why did i live and get this is walter alexander the older boy we we never found him this. this is deal on much. yes. at the it was his 5th birthday that day talking to the and doesn't quite and they read this is marleni. the mother and i, my wife, she was 29. that then you have anything with young. and here is our 9 month old baby. his name is manuel salvador shop out those family died in the same place that they lift an avalanche buried his wife and children in 2022 years where their house once stood there. and now would, in markers in this part of northwestern columbia, the number of avalanches as more than doubled since 2018 i. life is fate and there's nothing you can do about it. i know, but there's no point to looking for someone to blame and visit often there are
2:32 am
those responsible. but if you think about it too much, you can lose your mind. but if i don't law school is a little can i help you as soon as a moment? but are there really no culprits to try to understand what's going on here? we have to go back to 2018. the start of an ambitious project. in that year, the multinational china harbor engineering company began building the alto piece to monitors highway the company and its chinese parent group, c c. c. c. have built infrastructure in more than 150 countries. the parent company, whoever is in just repute for allegedly paying bribes and that has reached certain questions, is the construction company responsible for the problems of a small community in columbia? what responsibility does the colombian government have for these types of infrastructure projects and who benefits in the end?
2:33 am
maybe even is columbia 2nd largest city. until a few years ago, the city lacked an adequate route to connected with the caribbean coast in the north. now with auto peace that have monitored those things are different in the middle of this road is the small town of w e. but since the beginning of 2024 done yet, we had data has been the mayor equally to have data has lived all his life in dot b. but since 2016 he has worked in different positions in the governors office and witness 1st hand the construction and impact of the highway on his community. a lot from what size is the highway project is not really designed for small cities like ours that i mean what the
2:34 am
project really does is benefit international trade for the for k. and the, because ports are going to a built in order a box that can handle goods from all over the world. and that is that in more than the and mainly from china, a country that already accounts for more than 20 percent of its imports, according to official columbia and figures for killing the weight and quantify life for the project aimed at exporting local goods. we would all benefit greatly, so that is not a little bit better because we are agricultural producers. if you look at the old roads around here, they're terrible facing the old round pass through the center of the municipality and boost of its economy the but the new road skirts around the community, causing more than just economic difficulties. an engineer who worked on the road
2:35 am
construction for 2 years agreed to talk to dw, but asked to remain anonymous because it'll 2 bottles there. so that is, i mean, and i believe that several of those land slides were caused by bad construction practices where they should have worked with machines. they turned to explosives, it was covered under kind of customer service that made the stone fragile and displayed causal for all you know, let's just say a lot of mistakes were made on the spectacle. the largest catastrophe happened in 2020 numerous land slide, said 5 different small communities simultaneously. more than 300 families lost loved ones and all their possessions sally carroll and they say use us to as i mentioned, we all know that the land sight occurred on the same mountain where most of the construction was going on in java e boat. we never had such land slot. that seems pretty strange. when i look at when
2:36 am
we get started and it was on that day that money was a potter's son turned 5 us a. i mean, are you what that i knew i went out to get kick for my son's birthday, and then the avalanche cabinets and i couldn't get back home. they knew up until a long time without any modesty, a simple birthday cake saved his life and made him the sole survivor of his family . dw, asks the colombian authorities and the consortium led by the chinese company about the excessive use of dynamite in the area. the consortium said that no land sites had been reported during the work due to controlled blasting with dynamite. and that the techniques are generally appropriate and have been evaluated during the work, but many and of a but leads that the consortiums malpractice is go beyond its construction techniques, perhaps with the way they chose their local partners. ok. and they
2:37 am
cited copy, it is no secret that the former man is a business man with a lot of business in de eva con, which enables isn't valley the largest camp that the chinese used was on this man's fire. and lots of the offices that the chinese used for their operations are also owned by this gentleman, the most part just sitting with the parking lots and he even owns the hotels that they use during the project. so yeah, so that was a great conflict of interest sounds complete until the day it is a different place along the highway that may say to is an informal neighborhood found in 2019. today it is home to around 3000 people. when the building consortium led by china harbor engineering company, signed the contract to build the highway in 2015,
2:38 am
the neighborhood did not exist yet when the construction work began, things were different. still the company chose to act as if the neighborhood wasn't there. the john or the hundreds already go work for the group between 20212023 live said lama. say to there's a lot. it is that we go and this neighborhood is located above the head of the tunnel in thousands and found that those are the 2 and then about 50 to 60 meters from the tunnel entrance and from that place. and so as, as one time what's going on, we have a slope that protects the land so that the water does not want you to wait. i say to 10 minutes, i lose cool. 95 out of the sea and but as time goes by, the slope is cracking in the coming unsuitable and is also damaging the neighborhood and convert. i'm going about it. and so we with the fear that they will be an avalanche and take all the families with a so i life, i mean as i don't want it for these places where out
2:39 am
to piece the other more doors passes through are not alone. the problems that occurred here are not isolated cases says money cut, the lien and re quote to an expert who investigates chinese infrastructure projects in latin america. the just bad like many other companies, they go as far as they are allowed to meet in w. but for example, certain requirements were ignored and particularly environmental was lucky, political, my ceiling is it connected to me? i'm being started particularly additionally, there are other irregularities that could ultimately lead to corruption problems show the on about the same as it go to see us. the construction project also damaged graves, some of which were 2600 years old. and one of the oldest archaeological sites in columbia, the consortium bought the land to use as a material depot. ingrid be dollars is one of the archaeologists who worked on the
2:40 am
emergency excavations that the consortium organized, i'm sick when they realize that the complexity of the archaeological site and all the tools that were there, they decided not to continue with the excavations to preserve the archaeological heritage, but also to save the costs and avoid the time delay. but the damage was already done. one 3rd of the burial mountains are gone. and what about the people who live here? experts call for more concerns in the communities involved, so that they will also benefit from large infrastructure projects. nowhere near eco, nowhere near people they produce whether or not investment projects are beneficial will depend on both sides of the spot in e, i. e, and here it is very important to bear in mind that if we want to have a profitable relationship with china, our institutions must be strong enough to allow that relationship to be profitable for both sides. this global quite a bit and the big almost gets there is have the,
2:41 am
which was the because not only the past, but also the future of entire communities are at stake. the when people have to leave to make way for a road or surface mine or entire villages missed up sticks because of rising sea levels. or when governments expel entire population groups. then it's the case of forestry settlement and it keeps happening all over the world. the every day one see not wonder is how long she can continue working in her shop. she is worried because she is supposed to leave the area and take her store and her 3 children. the authorities want them all to move the mile,
2:42 am
so will be right. the mind has been has several times and they say i have to go to my and they threat to me, how are going to be in so i can hardly sleep anymore. like i'm gonna type decided to stay as long as i kind of like, you know they, i know what they don't don't calling and somebody took part by selling snacks and drinks. she has enough to pay for her children's education. she and many of her neighbors make most of their money from tourists. the own family lives within the extensive grounds of ankle lock. the huge temple complex covers more than 200 square kilometers and includes several 100 temples. at sunrise there was a magical atmosphere and the places with the best views are in great demand. i think a lot is one of the most famous attractions in all of asia, thousands of visitors from all over the world,
2:43 am
walk through the unesco world heritage site. every day, many of the locals have lived here for generations. i think the it was really great also like all the local people there. so friendly all the one to tell us all these amazing stories about about everything and they also for the end of the one so, so, so a lot stuff. we also went through the took suits over here and it was also a really, really great experience. well, it was really nice to be with all the teachers, but everyone really calm and peaceful and the locals are always really nice. around 25 kilometers from ankle on, a new city is being built. it is called run to x and the custodian government once the $10000.00 families to leave their homes near the temple complex and move to the settlement. that's still a construction site. at least there's water and electricity here. no young she had could no longer take the constant pressure from the authorities and
2:44 am
agreed to move to run ty at an angle. she lived with her husband, where he worked as a day laborer building a life. and this new city seems impossible for her. oh no, need no time, your hair is completely different. how much does nothing have? i'm the general and, and gro was able to survive well, even without money. i found probably 8 by i collected hubs and insights in the forest and sold them. now i have to buy vegetables, so have these extra costs, x rays and stuff and got a moment today. the only customers out her new neighbors not collect money themselves. none of them are happy here or hang at the, from the reset of people i know dependent on monthly state support of around a $125.00 previously most earn their own higher incomes. this is where they once lived. these are the remains of their former homes. only
2:45 am
the foundation was of the village and ink or i still visible. so far, the government hasn't said what it plans to do with the land near the temples. a spokesperson for the responsible authority says it is all the development measured to benefit the locals. the families move voluntarily. the power of the st. this. this is not punishment. this is providing opportunities. they bought the, well, there was no sanitation. they've what they are in the small caught the human rights organization. amnesty international sees it differently to move to this unfinished satellite city is a forest relocation in which human rights are being violated. the groupons unesco to intervene and stand up for the local population. so serious threats and, and again we're talking about cambodia that has a very long history of very,
2:46 am
very violent force eviction. so which is why it is extra important for role for entities like you nice go for outside agencies, world heritage committee, etc. to play that, to fill that gap, the unesco is now publicly expressing concern, saying it did not support the resettlement. the office of the local non governmental organization at hawk is located near the temple complex its liter change them rum. so the government is failing locals. so what have people got some construction people must not be patronized to apply to the government could create better opportunities where people previously live on fire, where they would rather live. you have to organize things better than that compete product and you can't just drive people away against the will to get the beach. what about what to do? why didn't the, the, to my, you know,
2:47 am
although her sister and many of her neighbors have already moved away once you not, would like to continue running her shop here in ankle locked every day, she prays of the gods for a better future. young man, item is income, i still have hope that we can keep this on the on co op codes, how we want to be happy, a note on the sofa, no longer be afraid from the house. so, and i want my family to stay head forever for tourist think or what is 1st and foremost is spectacular. magical place for locals. the temple complex full of tourists is their home and the basis of their livelihood. so the
