sanctions i meant to pressure mother will into some sort of negotiation. venezuelan capital has flooded the world economy it is estimated and it's a wide guess because of the magnitude of theft around $300.00 to $600000000000.00 was stolen from the venezuelan people to put it into context that's 10 times or 15 times the marshall plan in europe after the 2nd world war they are part of the money laundering circuit these sanctions are meant to put pressure on a dictatorship and it's a tool of the free world of modern diplomacy to pressure a regime with the characteristics of material that have relationships with drug trafficking proven in international courts. functions like this. and iran and their leaders are still in power and the population is poorer suffering why do you think it's going to be different this time but i mean to all

of the problems we face today are not the sanctions it's a dictatorship and the reason why even israel is poor today is because the expropriated fertile land and did not grow anything in it they destroyed national production they stole productive land created fake exchange controls and internal sanctions that persecuted people that is what keeps venezuela poured the sanctions that have human rights abusers and corrupt officials as an objective are meant to pressure a dictatorship you're talking about talk about negotiations that are happening right now what what can we expect. but if. it's a relative question what can we expect from a dictatorship nothing what can we expect of human rights abusers nothing but we can do our pressures we are implementing of being the majority of institutional pressure we could find a solution in alternative to the conflict venezuelans are living in.

has declared a national emergency but those were the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after the street station that's what i thought. we. ready give to the people would be a workshop we listen i'm supposed to explain apologize for someone who is also terrorizing we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter is iraq. ok and i'm a little and you're in the stream today why our environmental activists are attacked we will discuss a new report that looks at the threats faced by defenders of the land and its resources how are environmental activists treated in your country you can tell us via twitter or in our live chat. everyone money was burned.

from sometimes movement you are in the stream. last year at least $164.00 environmental activists around the world were killed and countless more was silenced from violent attacks intimidation or unfair cries ation that is according to a new report by the u.k. based human rights group global witness the report examined 19 countries and found that most of the killings were of activists who spoke out against the mining industry people protesting hydro power projects and land disputes with agribusiness were also met with deadly attacks the report also highlights the threats indigenous communities in particular face from resource extraction industries and the growing trend by governments to label environmental protectors as eco terrorists so in this episode we'll look at the struggles faced by environmental activists and ask what should be done to protect their work with us to talk about this via skype in london

heather is senior communications advisor with global witness and sao paulo carlos riddle he's the executive secretary of. the brazilian climate observatory a coalition of civil society organizations and in manila victoria tell you the un special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples she is an indigenous leader from the can people in the philippines welcome to the stream all of you i want to start with the expertise of some of our community members because our viewers know what they're talking about so the philippines noted in this tweet from leon here is the deadliest country in the world right now for environmental defenders and he explains in his view why his organization recorded a total of 223 filipino environment defenders killed from 2001 to 2008 he says 58.3 percent of them were involved in anti mining activity followed by

opponents of agribusiness the presence of these extractive industries is by far the biggest driver of bile and against defenders but he goes on to say this is interesting victoria he says these brave martyrs stood in defense of more than 2600000 hectares of land and seascapes the majority of beings came from indigenous people and farmers resisting land grab so indigenous peoples and farmers this sounds like a big umbrella when we say environmental defenders who are we talking about when it comes to the philippines whether we're talking about. indigenous peoples course but. more of the bigger number of farmers so they call they also. there are indigenous peoples are also farmers so. people who are basically working the land the land survive. and then i'm

just looking at the global witness report here enemies of the state question mark and what you did was take. outs just not the numbers on the rip reporting that you've seen of how many people have been attacked died open criminalized but you made it personal so that we as the international community could see what was happening i wanted us to do that all the way through the show so take us to guatemala a community that was protesting a dam tell us about that absolutely. one of the key case studies covered in our part of it the story of neri and dimming. 2 brothers who were very violently killed and following that opposition that vocal opposition and peaceful protest a higher power and now that the. people in that community to be killed linked to this. that community has been and continues to be intimidated threatened by

violence you know this hydropower the projects associated with it were polluting the was they were destroying food crops fish harps and to be honest causing a huge impact on the indigenous community i lived in that area so it's really stark and i'm quite a horrible example of of the shock and of these kind of attacks which can start with criminalization and intimidation and threats and of and. horrible killings cos i'm just thinking about some of the situations of these local communities or in it's the industries coming into that environment losing their environment and then they're protesting it's not as if they activists all pompous it's because something has been done to them for instance mo curie poisoning tell us about the communities that are suffering from the complacent. i'll give you one example that young

will not mean indigenous groups he's found in the north or amazon brazilian amazon . is the major there there are $28000.00 legal minors within their legs. boys i mean there are the reverse were you by using mary and some of the healthiest idiots in brazil as to make that more than 50 percent of the young or maybe population is contaminated with america really do they use a of of this substance for gold mining and we're speaking about 20000 people i legally established in the. i'm also thinking about indigenous people who are so often in there in areas where those mining is hydroelectricity. extraction and i wanted to share with you one story and how the indigenous community there are trying to fight that so we go to brazil for that and an

indigenous tribe and in this case we'll hear from the locals there how they're managing when there's logging in the area have a look. through when i got together and organized a team to protect the territory we were worried and are worried about future generations and about the isolated tribes that we have never seen our grandparents told us that there were people there and that they need protection also they said that these people need us they need the forest and we need the forest for the issue most of the forest. victoria are you finding it's indigenous communities that are suffering the most from the lands being encroached upon. yes i do find that especially because we know. people that they have been meeting in different parts of the world at the ones who really are. the kinds of development that we see

like my knee as well as expansion of cultural but they also have big infrastructure projects that are usually pushed by the government so. that all are of all. a big person. who are killed as well as subject to fall screaming those charges and brought to a pretrial detention for many years so this is the picture that i see and i think that it's because of the fact that they were defending this land before and now with increasing decrease of the land which will be exploited they are no. use i want to share this comment with out on you tube from someone watching lie this is a lizabeth who says environmental issues seem to be connected to class and race issues as well like in brazil growth scenario encouraging miners to invade

indigenous lands in brazil and claiming it to make these cultures modern so that's one take right there because you saw that earlier video from brazil but i want to move to a different part of the world and still keep this on indigenous communities because of course it's not just brazil want to share this coming from david gilbert he's a political politest talking about what communities in indonesia face have a listen. in places like indonesia and sumatra in particular the risks that indigenous peoples and smaller family farmers face as they seek to defend their lands forest and waters are very grave their industrial agriculture is especially violence and coersion to force people off the land in industry existing ecology state military work with agribusiness mercenaries and militia to murder a few of these people every year and thousands more are arrested but still these people these defenders and protectors are joining up by the hundreds of thousands

in unions and social mobilization organizations and the continue their struggle and tell these commodities are produced in a way that's free of bloodshed so how can he in that video on a hopeful note but in the comment he says that these communities are facing murder mercenaries and militias these are dangerous circumstances what recourse do they have especially when it comes to indigenous communities and the risks that they're facing. yeah i mean i think it was i mean particularly inspiring to see. him from the clip before from the indigenous community in brazil around how dad being extremely active on mobilizing to protect not just their community but the communities around them and they feel the responsibility of that and i think. the really important thing here is that land environmental defenders are not just fighting for their own protections and fighting for all of you know when they protect the forests in that part of brazil and helping save the planet from climate

breakdown which is a huge issue as we know i so i think that's the 1st thing to say that you know not only are they facing these huge threat in the face of protecting their own land but they are also protecting the environment for all of it as and i think that in order for them continue to fight with success and you know we have seen in some cases numbers have fallen that might obscure the fact that there are still huge threats against on the environment to defenders but you know people like victoria. of london to environment to defend themselves campaign groups and geos all of these people have been campaigning so hard and raising awareness and now it's up to all of us to stand with defenders and amplify their stories on that to kind of link into the sort of important intersectionality you talked about before and make sure that we're telling their stories and that where holding businesses and governments

to account so that they don't have to do that by on their own cause we think about it it's outrageous that people living in. a line. from outside as in companies and industries coming in and. it's outrageous that that would even happen can you explain why. what would be to look up because especially the lack of law enforcement of the lack of the presence of the government on the grounds of for example mediators lands of public lands in brazil and so it's the duty from the federal government to protect girls lands to prevent a better this land starting today than by illegal miners like you go or worse and believe whenever this happens they should go there and and take this people out off of those lanes. but at this moment of what we are facing right now the produces an

exactly the opposite as it was before the government to the present post and out of himself is saying that he will manage to incentivize thing modeling with thing in the original lands and these rude to bring. the tional violence against those people is the case we have recently in the states off our power when the one not when the indigenous chief of of one tribe was murdered and killed by a legal mind is that the weight of his land he was. taken to that because of 50 legal miners invaded those lands and it was a peaceful blend before and the disincentive aids from the disease the governments and thinking vials of these sorts of actions i mean it is because deep down is the situation if you look even worse when it comes to the why i have a commenter who would agree with what you just mentioned there this is kind of

a madonna he's a senior fellow at yale and he talks to us about why he thinks this is happening have a listen. generally we can identify 2 major reasons for the growing criminalization securitisation and politicize ation of the environmental space and the 1st one is rooted in the conflicts between the economic and development objectives of. governments businesses and industries and environmental protection the 2nd one in the emerging one which we see more and more around the world is related to the fact that. governments political players and intelligence units have realised that environment has the power to unite people regardless of their ideologies political beliefs and ethnicities so that to a cause or there is also the former deputy head of iran's department of

environmentalists what do you make of his comment that 2 prong approach to why this is happening. well i think it's exactly those are the reasons that these things are happening there's always there's a conflict usually between how states think of developed men you know usually think about this in terms of economic growth so it structurally is the way to grow and export the products that come from those communities and secondly the absence of the state indeed many communities in many countries. usually you don't even see a need any kind of. art inside those communities or even police or flora these soul the ones who do the responsible actions are usually the by the military or the security but nice security guards but. this was very clearly seen fleets as in the case of acid as in honduras were skilled in

doing the 17 and she was. on the security guards who have been arrested and jailed but that only came about after more than a year of investigation so this is a common situation that we see everywhere and so unfortunate because the state is. due to bear or to protect human rights but they are not doing this role on the tour we asked you to send us some pictures so that we could really get a sense of what is happening to local communities and their land and he sent us this page to have a look everybody on my laptop and this is in ecuador and what we're seeing is on your position the toys speak to us about this and the impact it's having on the people who live there. yes. robyn's in the door and they brought me to the school to show how the lines are so it's not just

the water it's also the soil busy and their record they can not do any kind. or in these lands and they have never been. lost. so the people are really in a better by the way because aside from not being able to produce or that there is there are also being. heavy go ahead i think yeah i think just to echo everything that victoria's just adds and also i think one of the illusions that cafe made. was around so that people who finance this kind of distractions are not just the companies who should be doing you know better today agents who should be making sure that they are protecting the communities who live on the land that planning a project but who is it that's pumping money into these projects who are the investor is who are kind of saying comfortably and putting money into projects said

they're making profit from and by that economic which is our economic model which have a space. and the measures which they should be how to count on company responsibility is extremely important and so is investor and government responsibilities and i think it's really important. of course it is important i think our community would agree with that but there are still so many hurdles so i want to share just this one this is nicos who says sending in the way of private plunder and the corrupt government that enables them benefits from such is treated as subversive activity and byron mental stewardship can't happen without legal protections in force by the impartial administration of justice corruption being one of those things standing in the way victoria of course you know this firsthand you know what it's like to be labeled as someone standing in the way when it comes to government because you were labeled a quote unquote terrorist yourself talk to us about that yes well last year in

march of last year. i saw a least of. people included. by the government to declare orleans but the new people's army as a reserve and so i was shocked when they mainly. ordered 600 people and so i find a case against the government asking them to clarify exactly what my status. because of the un special rapporteur or i'm supposed to enjoy immunity from attacks by the government but i was of course. i was in a better situation so. let's talk about what environmentalists can actually do they are being labeled as eco terrorists but what can they do in return let me give you one example in madagascar doesn't

environmentalist were in court earlier on this year they were accused of destroying the business of law this and what are they did they took the authorities to court haven't. did this work. for the 1st time we're taking local authorities to court for abuse of power for destruction for the destruction of the forest defamation and arbitrary arrests. carlos you represent civil society organizations in brazil what are people doing who are defending their land to be able to do that safely and stay alive at the same time. unfortunately their level of violence is increasing and what they are trying to do is to have a war no voice recorder yet they're. speaking to. lawyers they are speaking school different civil society organizations are trying to speak

talk towards and of course litigation as in the case of the gas cards these one groups but many cases even the high people have put them on the courts going on on the wrong side of the story is told so far to increase the level of pride for the over people and some specific areas that we are this is not present there are many cases where people were trying to get to. they have to leave their to their places the length of for me to the place where they can support even just because of this level of threat but connected with a lot of this is a pretty go ahead jump in there go ahead yeah i think yeah i think and i think you are off to see. so many organizations mobilizing really effectively and eating and incredibly effective and sophisticate its campaign i mean we saw groups

of indigenous organizations from purcell from mexico from and eating. bacon. down the heads of the u.n. a couple years ago you see people campaigning at terra lever and. creating huge amounts of the when a surround this important issue and i'm getting messages out about exactly what their recommendations are around for example specific agribusiness projects that. people in each be aware of buying and understanding the supply chains i think those campaigns huge amount of. credit in terms of you know how are that bringing forward this issue and really raising awareness and game all political attention on. of course as interesting you mentioned al gore tension i wanted to bring this in in the closing minutes of the show victoria there's a back and forth on twitter ron says we need to find and support frontline eco defenders and the groups in solidarity with them the more attention to them the more difficult to becomes for their enemies to kill them and journalists can cover

them but you've got pushback someone on someone else david on twitter says there are many ways to build a movement capacities and solidarity but it's more complicated than media attention equals less risk sometimes it is specifically leaders and spokespeople that are targeted so underground and low profile has to be part of it to toria yeah well as well i think that exactly true but it's also what i have seen in several countries is that indigenous peoples they assert their authority to be able to roll their land so i have seen say community guards in mexico i have seen several communities to upset their own community guys because they don't trust the police or the army and so they are good ones guarding their territory so they of course file suit before the before the state because they have also declared their territory. for instance and being looked at on the most municipalities they are the ones who

will go burn the community and set up the security forces that will protect themselves commuting the airports that actually stopping these kinds of behavior from companies and from the state and i think that is where we see a lot of hope as well. looking at this report and the total number of killings per country it only looks the global it's report only looks at 19 countries not every single death or attack or criminalization is evil reported but the stats are 2018 knowing that they're not completely for their every week 3 people are murdered because they are trying to defend their land i am just thinking carlos if you could just give us one thought about that what can we do as an international community just one thought all. those people are boyce the whenever hope there isn't that also used to have this message to spread out who are really good heart

government and center companies that need to keep hold accountable for their responsibility over them any. costs victoria heather thank you so much as all the time we have thanks for watching millikan i always online at a.j. stream on twitter. perception is validation we believe want to be seen but in one life time we cannot see everything. we rely on the experiences of others and the legacy of previous generations. of fans testimony we know very little. with this documentaries that open your eyes on al-jazeera.
