a sentence of life without the possibility of parole is a sense from which there is no escape and no return. this conviction is a victory for the american people who was suffered so long and so much while guzman made billions pouring poison over our southern border as the verdict was read in a packed courtroom under tight security guzman initially looked shocked but he then flashed a thumbs up as he was led away by security guards from the courtroom through a back door. moments later months wife who sat through every day of the long trial left the courthouse to a crush of reporters she didn't respond to questions as she got into we. guzman's highly paid defense attorneys said they would appeal and accused the u.s. government of using guzman's conviction like it was a prize in the war on drugs course is

a trophy for the government i mean that the cocaine flow doesn't stop with joaquin guzman being convicted only for god's sake does anybody think that does anybody think that if that suddenly anything's changed over the course of the trial jurors saw pictures of guzman's diamond encrusted pistol and heard stories about him ordering killings of rivals including one for the crime of failing to shake guzman's hand but it was guzman sinhala a drug cartel that often took center stage several of his former top level associates testified against him lifting the lid on a multibillion dollar operation that utilized all the tools at their disposal to get their product across the mexican border well this is the last chapter of el chapo guzman drug trafficking career it's by no means that story for his sin a drug cartel back in mexico it continues to be the biggest drug trafficking

who started this thing i mean know who the taliban were and i didn't know how radical they were just what they were about. one of the things of the talabani is is they they didn't have a clue about oil and gas business the idea was was to bring him over and

establish credibility with it with the taliban that we were a real company. multi-million secretly invited to a group of taliban leaders to unit cows headquarters in sugar land texas. no press coverage the event. i have some the statues that i got in indonesia and their figures and the people carved out of ironwood and the people are naked. and i had one of these professors islamic professors check my house out when he saw these things he said i don't think that's going to work with the taliban. said well with this you got some black trash bags of the adhesive put workers on the stuff that's what they did with the burgers on the statues. and. marty miller was

a vice president of oil company unocal. they wanted to build a huge oil and gas pipeline through taliban controlled areas of afghanistan. but how did these negotiations influence us foreign policy towards the taliban. and. i am. the us can capital kabul is preparing for

a new iraq foreign forces of mostly was drawn from the afghan soldiers and police will now be responsible for security in the country. but in twenty fourteen five thousand of them were killed in battles against the taliban. but the taliban hasn't always been an enemy of the west today their former foreign secretary lives in a heavily guarded house in one of the couple's better suburbs. during the ninety's he was involved in discussions with the american oil company unocal. i will take my advice you will cause in a lot of the. bill there are a lot of new just under it. then one of the one jewish. but as if to say enough is a loophole for the it could be

a political comment it as if he wants. it both the letter of etiquette i took as well as the others that if he out of it by the home spoke to us as well as he had of the place i think you. will as if there was that they think it will last. since the soviet invasion of afghanistan in one nine hundred seventy nine the country has been in a state of constant new phase. during the afghan insurgency the mujahedeen received extensive weapon support from the united states and britain in their struggle against the russians. and. the soviet occupation ended in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine. two years later the soviet union collapsed.

you know cows c.e.o. joint imo saw an opportunity in the full of the iron curtain. at the time the soviet union broke up and china opened up which shop and more or less same time read a very senior guy. kind of cruising the former soviet union to look for opportunities. where you realize that turkmenistan had huge world class gas reserves which were produced by the soviet union but after breaking up they were not produced any longer because russia had his own gas supplies to bring to market from siberia so mr john was stock was reserves and no market. unocal wanted to build two pipelines one for oil and one for gas the pipelines would go from many stunned through afghanistan pakistan and india

a distance of well over seventeen hundred kilometers construction costs would be close to ten billion dollars. of calmness done could earn four hundred million dollars per year in transportation costs which would more than double the afghan government's income at that time the whole area is just in turmoil you know the pakistanis don't like the afghans afghans don't like the fact stan is the turkmen are skeptical of both of them and then you've got india and pakistan all of that is just a mess and there. is a good set up there was a power vacuum off to the withdrawal of soviet forces and local schools foot of the territory in a for trucks did civil war i. realize. it is going to go. in

the north people gathered around the northern alliance and its leader ahmed shah massoud the so-called lion of publishers. in the south and east another movement began to assert itself in s. nic past june areas. they called themselves the taliban and was supported militarily by pakistan then in conflict with india. the pakistanis were trying to impose their will on the future of afghanistan and they wanted to ensure that afghanistan was not going to be a strong viable nation state that could in any way reconnect as they had in the past was india. taliban leader mullah mohammad omar was a war hero from the years of insurgency against the soviet union. pakistan

decided it was going to assist all of all how it all modern this group which had no name and what they provided was money on that front or a. training ammunition trucks tactical advice and then eventually they provided they call absurd the students really just students afghans and pakistanis getting what you came to being thirteen thousand bhadra saw us within the northwestern frontier province or the adjoining go in and the fight. before becoming an attorney julie soon as worked as an intelligence analyst at the pentagon sources in afghanistan warned against you know accounts close relationship with the taliban. worldwide there was

a very broad perception that unocal was wrecking with the u.s. government to promote the taleban as the most likely source or as a stable single group in trolling afghanistan. and there was a safe think and after. or hopefulness on the part of sound that if this pipeline could be put through it could be a source of stability or development for afghanistan and i personally don't like the idea that that stability would mean that the taliban would be in charge. with the civil war raging mahdi militia went on these first journey into afghanistan. at the time there were six or seven warlords that were feuding with each other and it was you know if afghanistan

was not a real safe place to be. the first thing i notice is the devastation. you counter reminded me of the pictures i'd seen of. germany post world war two. the taliban headquarters it was it was a house that was still all intact but there weren't a stick of furniture in the house and all the we we slept on the floor and i and i had a it was kind a little traveling road show sort of thing course you don't have slide projector yankers there were named electricity in the building but i had some diagrams and charts in shoreham some things and some just basically to describe the project and and to tell them what the benefits would be and then they were very interested. the message was always if you guys will quit fighting with each other and form

a government we're just doing recognition that allows us to attract the world back to maybe be an answer. then we may have a view. but the time the band were on the offensive i drove the northern alliance concept of the cities of my zone in shoney's to boom. they don't control most of the country. mohammad's not too long president during the soviet occupation had been spared by the northern alliance but the taleban showed no mercy not below was first tortured cuss treated and then harmed alongside his brother. the execution was a clear sign of what kind of regime had seized power in kabul.

julie serves traveled in secrecy took a bill in one nine hundred ninety seven in order to learn more about the new regime . i had gone into kabul when i was held by the taliban and secretly they dressed as as an afghan woman in a burka. they seemed very foreign to me certainly many asked answer conservative muslims but even among them they generally do not support the sort of extremism that the taliban stands for i see the taliban really is an alien force. their attitude toward women or a number of human rights issues i found disturbing but i think it was that larger

political issue of them being back i had pakistanis that was most disturbing to me . not. when the tide went to me and called out did you kill your own go down but you need to have a good experience with good and. the taleban man said bitterly just today it's. still being learning insanities and their mother says they couldn't be had it was not here but to troop that it was a twelve day to match them to ministry that was the problem mark. america's concern about afghanistan had been minimal before the unocal pipeline

project but autumn and gus negotiations spock's the clinton administration's interest in the country. i'd probably go to washington d c o once every six state weeks and i would typically meet with the state department the n.s.a. and cia. the cia was was very very well for you know they have this shadowy image i guess you call of that i found very straightforward and very professional and i think the clinton administration was really committed to helping you know american business and be successful. we enjoyed and really strong support from the. unit wasn't the only oil company that wanted to build. pipeline in afghanistan option time company breed us was also trying to do a deal with the taliban. all but it does and the meal was over

a little so it was a cut of the hands of. other duties of no is this is a little head to the level. of a kid you know congress that can deal with. the taliban delegation arrived at unocal is headquarters in december ninety ninety seven. marty came home one day and said front would you thank about having a group of taliban and a delegation come to our home for dinner. didn't know what to say at the time i had to thank it trail and i was pretty naive maybe they come in and say how americans home and no lies that were. average regular people maybe

it would be good for them to to do this and agree to do it. on a multi million did the right most to avoid offending the taliban visitors and removed all the religious pictures and figures. but they did not remove the christmas trees the air that the taliban came to our house there was a charity fundraiser thing and we had seven christmas trees in our house and the talabani just adds blew their mind they couldn't figure out what that was all about and i think they were trying to. and then make a connection between a christmas tree and the birth of jesus christ in you know in the new job trying to make a religious connection with what's his christmas tree all about. they never did understand that thing. as

a whole there was free because it is too different from. eastern culture but the phone to the nazis over the i would be focused society and for artists to a. new outfit and custom that. dressed in their newly acquired jackets the afghans visited one of you know cows offshore platforms. and fresh and i got as they were amazed they were stunned to see these platforms in the gulf of mexico over seven and live three hundred feet of water i think just the magnitude in the complexity of things and they were very well blown away by. the next leg of their journey to the visitors to omaha nebraska with a match one of america's foremost experts on afghanistan petroleum resources. the

united states are trying their best to talk to the taliban who are obviously beginning to take over the whole of afghanistan the state department asked me to talk to the taliban's and they brought them in here. and so this room instead of airing guys in suits and ties like they always had before these were talabani and you know skullcaps and turbans and long beards and i really had with their afghans no problem and so i told him i showed him all this neat whiz bang satellite imagery and stuff and if you're looking at our country we're looking at your country where you is and you can do this to show you how to do this all you need to do is come over here and get educated in this stuff. the taliban teams journey ended in washington d.c. where they met leading officials at the state department. the state department was

still hopeful that this was going to be a part of the international combined effort that would be profitable for unocal profitable for the afghans commercially and financially profitable for the afghans in terms of development and education profitable for the region. the taliban were interest in the project they were keen on making it happen they never did sign a cooperation agreement or anything like that because they were afraid to sign anything without knowing specifically that mullah omar was was behind it. there are hardly any pictures of the mysterious taliban leader. in these rare footage of him. tries to hide behind a blanket. and

. i was in khandahar the first time he was there and they kept saying that they were going to go talk i think they asked if i could go seen and they said no no no it's just you're not seeing shots of to see them all over war. you know khalid was in dialogue with the taliban about the pipelines another actor began to assert himself in afghanistan with sama bin laden. this son of a saudi construction millionaire was a local hero because he participated in the insurgency against the soviet union. in return to afghanistan in nine hundred ninety six after having be forced to leave the sudan. now he was preparing for

a new war global jihad. wayne started on capture the good hearted in consequence a concept called deletion and seeks to be found it was sometimes not an easy scully eating a hot soup the tiny one moved in to condemn not to be protected. as a rival back in afghanistan coincided with my own to work with the un. never met the salad at a lot and i saw him once in the bazaar then as convoy car passing by but i never you know we didn't labor anything we didn't know each other were looking at the other so. that first year that he was in the area was the time when he's solidified his relationship with mullah mohammad omar.

natoma under the. she wears it out when they said oh why did you teach of them was fed up of what i say you have to do with the judgment of hollywood it must be a movie when the interview took on a whole almost a kind of a. in afghanistan marty miller and you know col how did the cia did the training of local workers who would to be employed on the so-called peace pipeline. we'd like to hire locally so he had employment opportunities for the afghans in fact one of the things we did in khandahar as we established a training center we found an old abandoned warehouse that we outfitted then we brought some equipment any a welding equipment. tools that were needed for the training. without being aware

of it marty miller had established his training center in the same street as a sawmill been logons house. and i'd never heard of the guy before i didn't know who it was and looking back on it. kind of gives me the creeps this is think about i was act most of that guy. was someone bin ladin was also busy building training facilities. take the worst possible material eurabia grounded into dust comparable to flour and make a whole lot of it and put it into a place where people live it is a cause something bad as well and so many people are thinking this is the file and he. doesn't make you feel nice you feel like a murderer we have created an enormous and normal mental disaster. and

respects iraq's sovereignty. what's being described as the trial of the century and a stress test for spanish democracy is underway in madrid twelve catalan separatist leaders involved in the failed independence bid two years ago are on trial in the supremes course they face up to twenty five years in jail if convicted of rebellion sedition and misuse of public funds. seventeen people have died in a hotel fire in india's capital new delhi a large group of wedding guests with staying at the hotel in an area known for budget accommodation thirty five people were rescued most of the deaths were due to suffocation investigators are trying to find out just what caused the blaze now back to talk about oil.

some of bin laden was busy building training facilities. bin laden eventually became responsible for organizing the flow of foreign fighters between kitchen you know bosnia and the arab world for the taliban these soldiers were useful reinforcements in the fight against the northern alliance this enabled bin laden to strengthen his alliance with the taliban and to recruit soldiers for his holy war on the western world. i think your first thought going to get out of the earth is to study yes but what i think you know i think they are. necessary first i let the local government level for you know what i can buy over there and they know if you think you've got the lower floors and on and on. you know what is the we are yet.

on the seventh of august nine hundred ninety eight a bomb exploded at the u.s. embassy in nairobi. similar tenuously a bomb detonated in neighboring tanzania two hundred twenty four people died in these terrorist attacks and building four thousand were injured. the i'll call you the trademark was established serial attacks triggered by suicide bombers. i don't think i was terribly surprised when i heard about what had happened because bin laden was there and even he was able to do it from afghanistan and he was being protected by the taliban. the young spy wanted to learn more about bin ladin and visited his enemies the northern alliance it was a perilous journey on horseback along by roads. in my interest in what was going on in the n.t.

taliban areas because that was the area where we did not have a lot of the information in my sense from back in washington is that a lot of officials and policymakers were just writing off the resistance to that's how bond. and. she met northern alliance leader ahmad shah masood who asked for support from the west in the fight against the taliban and al qaida. during her visit says go to unique insight into what was to come. northern alliance prisons were full of foreign fighters from several countries their goal was to participate in the global jihad. she was especially shocked by what the prisoners told her about the close relationship between pakistan the taliban and al qaida. most rude urgent he wanted to alert the west

he wanted more people to know about the taliban and how they were interacting with bin ladin in to emphasize that if we were opposing bin laden that we should really realize that he and the taliban were sharing the same goals and resources and funding. but judy says report was not well received by her bosses at the pentagon. the state department was even more annoyed people were saying they were very upset about my trip and i was told i simply wasn't going to be able to stay and that they weren't going to give me my security clearance back so essentially they fired me. the clinton administration continued its efforts to influence the taliban regime. and we were in the middle of trying to. get them to modify their behavior

and i'm a believer in you talk to your friends and your enemies talking is not acceptance of those practices. from day one the clinton administration was trying to push back in first you know control and then pressure the taliban regime into change and of course that escalated once bin ladin left sudan and went to afghanistan in one thousand nine hundred six the bombings of ninety eight were conducted from there so it was very much on the forefront. the problem of osama bin laden stood in the way you have any agreement about future or even gas pipelines. he had declared war on america and this on the bombings of our embassies in tanzania kenya really put us on a war footing with sound and then from that point on we were actually trying to kill him. on the twentieth of july just nineteen ninety seven

president clinton ordered the launch of cruise missiles against several bases and understand. four of the bases were destroyed you know twenty five. were killed but bin laden himself escaped i remember when president clinton sent cruise missiles and afghanistan. i just that's when i told. my. lawson the board of directors it was time that this this one got to go anywhere any time soon. at that point unocal withdrew from the pipeline project but the french intelligence analyst joins show but he saw it argues that the idea of an oil and gas pipeline lived on. in the states what it was thinking there were pressuring

the taliban to release bin laden. by negotiating about the pipeline at the same sign the taliban were thinking they were calling the united states is not in by discussing the end of the pipeline. or mile marker the five line issue was a leverage in preserving his country from u.s. strikes and avoiding to take a decision on on bin laden. osama bin ladin was also interested in continued pipeline negotiations. a strategy memo from bin laden's close aide mohammed ought to have was found joining the investigation of the nine hundred ninety eight east africa embassy attacks this memo written by mohammed that says it states clearly that as far as the taliban were mentioning relationship in some way was with american businesses over his project or u.s. diplomats. their security and tightest security guarantee.

that. the in. the terror attacks against the east african embassies tasted the relationship between the taliban and the al qaida leader. his presence in afghanistan. became a big part of the trip. that in their in the early shift between a kind of sign and then from our stomachs. there are. a lot of. as you.

see it was a victim of tactics or so you know sort of blood because you know sid no baseline near zero but the kind you oh by the way those shooter was one thirty. the deer kind of that is you know. and just sort of figured it was jewish understand the scholars have been there many of. them and found the joneses all the for you from a hunger strike in front of another. for the. news that he. did that is. towards the end of the ninety's the pipelines were no longer on the agenda or in talks between the u.s. and the taliban. the u.s. asked thirty times for osama bin laden to be handed over but the taliban gave no clear answer the types when essentially now where the taliban the more we would

close and the more they push back the more we push them on al-qaeda expelling us out and then lot of the more they would fish back. they just got more into science . can keep. not follow and to teach you talk to no man no of the highly. valued by the god for them that you know really nobody. does a fish will reach one hundred not with you but do away no one of the dogs because. when george w. bush came to power in two thousand and one the renewed attempts to get bin ladin extradited and get started with the construction of the oil pipeline.

by van unit. it was out of the picture but others tried to revive the plans. w. bush in this direct connection with the oil industry and he was to try to be more services work that i. made a special documentary about the prelude to september the eleventh. american born adam gadahn is the film's narrator an attack on afghanistan had been planned for a long time the americans are boiling mad about a number of things the islamic emirates domination of strategic energy reserves as well as the root of the proposed gas pipeline from the caspian sea. and most of all its refusal to hand over osama.

in berlin in july two thousand and one a final dramatic meeting about the taliban was arranged between representatives of the united states government and all the players in the region. to pongs during these talks there's a u.s. representatives that will make this ultimatum that will have enter the carbons of holes in the carpet a bomb. the americans and insan their allies during a meeting in germany as their plan to invade afghanistan in the autumn before the first snow fall which is what the eventually did so we knew it was coming the question was do we sit back and wait or do we surprised them with a preemptive strike you. get

my. eye . i was there in nine and they were in new york it has already voted today and. there were a tragic and how about of the people of the united states innocent people were wiping. others not all of it is but i need. the above with a sign to get it that is that if i would be judged on zero or on video it would. by the. juice. bush michio was there to tell you about

us or the speaker to get across. to the taliban offer to extradite osama bin laden to a third country but now the americans have decided to remove both him and the taliban the from the seventh of october america and britain attacked. the northern alliance exploited the resulting calles and the taliban regime unraveled. on the twentieth of november two thousand and one the capital city of kabul failed. with us backing canid karzai was inaugurated as president his brother had been working for unocal and because i was well acquainted with the pipeline plant it was. soon after nine eleven in a couple of moms suddenly we feared that's goldman's from the region got together

and basically decided to revive the project. that means that even without knowing the fate of. terms of stability all these countries at come to the same conclusion they had reached before nine eleven the spy plane was crucial that. the interests. after years of war there is still no pipeline the taliban is back in strength and reluctant to negotiate about peace. they cost the kind of on government brought to a new government and the good title of democracy in the human rights meant dave did not bring peace to afghanistan the insurgency against paygo have been installed by the international community is still going on.

that. the war against the taliban has made the building of the pipeline impossible . the afghan north also how some oil after the pipeline was shelved john idol who had left unocal considered investing in an oil and gas project in mazar e sharif. look at afghanistan the political risk is amazingly high. but the reward is also moderate. opportunity for. the rich. that the country's petroleum.

previously known. as the geology in that part of the world for both mineral resources and that's pretty spectacular. who are. those resources first. and then the past thirty years of war nobody has been able to do much. one afghan who tried to develop the country's oil resources and an early stage was king mohammed zahir shah. after thirty years in exile he returned a lot of afghanistan's history has been. when he was only nineteen years old nine hundred thirty seven he gave the u.s. firm inland exploration company exclusive rights to oil extraction in the northern areas of the country. they were also given the rights to build a sixteen hundred kilometer pipeline. but the second world put

a stop to these plans. older afghans. a time of peace economic progress the introduction of democracy and education. they need any. major new attempts to restart. production in the fifty's and sixty's a series of test wells were drilled and. mapped the country's resources. afghanistan at the end of the seventy's as part of the atlas afghanistan project. he got a unique insight into the maps of mineral resources. there was one american geologist me and two hundred fifty soviet russian geologist.

so when i left afghanistan in late seventy eight i was actually be ported by the communists who had taken over the government i left having sent my maps out of the country in a diplomatic pouch came back to the united states and i worked on the mineral resources in afghanistan ever since. west of mazower and other remains of a canister finally from the soviet era. the plant is still in operation but no longer produces as much as when the russians were there. mouthing about on the roof on the at i don't know stop to sign up that hold only shasta million goes down as it has sold a thousand yards past flour johnny surely inside that saddam mission. could be quite sure that in asia.

in two thousand and seven an experienced oil geologist rediscovered this area. he'd previously worked for unocal but he now worked as head of the norwegian aid project oil for development he wanted to help afghanistan with a new oil will. do his dissuaded from traveling to the north but with an armed escort he went anyway. at one gas plant he discovered a brick don't room documentation of soviet oil and gas production had been hidden. behind the secret wool lay old maps and seismic surveys that showed afghanistan's oil and gas resources was significantly greater than the outside world was aware of and made history in the if there is so much all that's on the air this is

ultimately existed. well the american that i was built although shitsville fourteen is thirtieth in the world than that in the midst of a little slow deal with. the administration offices but oil and gas in mazar i'll show reef allocated in old soviet buildings. chief engineer mohammed to john attardi has made it his life's work to preserve the dusty archives. several times he saved maps and documents from destruction. lavoy we can accurately critical cannot get on the ground and good at home i will not undergo no one can not because it had been fun while her younger ones stuff on my third cousin but there i was young good hard time going to she couldn't do it

any other girl didn't shut down after mother she can do it out i'm not against it she asked me how much of a mind he is he knows when the last guy who you know that would like me not on their own a moment as he is american not let a young girl letter he called her knowledge no not if you don't have any girl most i am not a woman i don't know. you don't know how to hunt i don't know what i want on behalf of the majority. leader and. despite little money and poor health i toddy has systemized to finals and preserve the valuable data for the future i don't know one of the at least i want to talk of the job of our day not wanted or india could make about it in a moment though i thought that i'd buy the time but i reckon you i mean there's just not a need or not i'm all i know or don't know or don't offer. you may have to hold on

a moment mad mad cow but he'll be a good question for you more we won't know him very current comfortable in our war everything that. the united states once hoped the peace pipeline would unite the warring parties in afghanistan they still do amazingly enough they still want to build it. america's arch enemy iran also wants to build an oil and gas pipeline to india to draw on is in a hurry the aim is that the new peace pipeline should be completed in twenty seventeen. but again it has to go through taliban controlled areas peace with the taliban is more important than ever. was at risk of
