with the just as the numbers at the border grow. so to does of desperation, they can't go back, hold them says that kind of center. that means we are likely to be more people pushing forward on the polish forces, using tougher tactics to keep them out. i said, beg, i'll just 0. know the poland, belly roost border. these 3 people had been killed in a double suicide bombing in the garden capital cam. paula 3 attack as also died. police say the bombings were carried out by members of a rebel group. the allied democratic forces which housed ties to isolate chillies. president has survived and impeachment boats. the senate boat fell short of the 2 thirds majority are required to sebastian piano. at least one person in canada has been killed by a landslide following major flooding. there to other people is still missing. extreme weather on the west coast as force the closure of almost every road into and out of vancouver. the threat of a 2 week strike by energy workers in nigeria has triggered panic. buying

ha! as we're driving down the road just now. i said, oh my god, we're coming to the police that change my life. for years, people have fought this struggle, fought for a land in water. and i was at a point where i felt like nobody cared. and now it was like somebody shook me awake again and said it's ok to stand up. it's ok to want a better life in our local the way many were tony means water is life and every living being an animal and plant on this earth needs water to flourish.

ah we move that part down and then start taping the other one. i was good, that's good. i mean, this one's all in. so the idea to have this encampment in a lot of ways, it is protecting our way of life. because it is not only asserting our right to be here and live here and having clean drinking water. because when you rip away all the layers of, of everything that's going on right here,

what it all comes down to is wanting clean drinking water for our children. so we just wanted to get a little bit of an idea of how many people are going to be staying with. we got 4 families, one family to each year. each family for the 5 kids. and you are going to be here through the winter with what we're doing here is also living our sovereignty. because this is treaty land that we were guaranteed by the united states government in 18. 51. it's la quinta, treaty land. so in the way it's, it's like coming home i just got here. so we've been here since like 8 so we have like 3 more to set up and then i'm gonna be done. anyway, i just got here. okay. with that no.

no that's, that's good. yeah, i've lived in the river bed all my life. i drink the water from the misery and we had our own garden, so our own food and it was a beautiful life. i lived there before the army corps removed me and i went back and i lived there to day toys family. did anybody show up down here from denver, or i used to say to my mom, why did you have to name you washed a we in english, it looks like waste when and people make fun of it and they, they butcher every day. and she would say, that's your grandmother's name. her name was washed ale we shockley. and that is to be a good given woman. so don't ever be ashamed. dear name. we were saying that putting up a t p seems so easy compared to a year. the planes and helicopters made as final for like

non stop. i think they thought we were doing something illegal, but the yellow helicopter is though one hired by to quote access ah, when we 1st turned that that code axis was going to come. when we started the secret storm cap in start praying for this proposed pipeline that is supposed to be pointed to the long room. and i invite you to go down to the encampments and standing to see the strength of the beauty,

the perseverance. every day we have 1012 other nations coming in to stand in solidarity with us. and we're showing the world who we are in a non violent manner. a nation isn't defeated until the heart too small of the women are on the ground all the day. we have grandmothers and mothers that are prepared to be here on the land for the long run. we're not going away with . and then we got the notice for 48 hour notice dakota axis and start construction . ah, yes. can you see? i

see each of you to come stand. that secret. some kind of battle has just begun. ah, the justice will prevail for our people. if the laws are obeyed and followed, we will hold on to our treaty territory at all costs. and we're peaceful, prayerful people. but it's come to a point now where enough is enough someone went through that they were bulldozing, overstate with

good women and children. or were you telling the dogs to buy a even with going on around this elder walking next to me as i was crying, she said walk in prayer. that's when i knew that you know what we were doing was the sacred thing. ah, you dis, a personal to me. my dads buried up there. i buried my cousin,

died of cancer 2 weeks ago, up there. and we can't let dakota access school to them on what happens if they do . what are you going to do? right in front of the vocals with they will shoot us a lot of people think that the dakota access pipeline is just about native people standing up for their environment. but that's not true. they're 18000000 people that rely on the missouri river for their water. who are down stream from us. this isn't just to native issue. this is for everybody. this pipeline breaks world records. it's a $178.00 pieces. and what they do is they put it together many yank it all through underneath for a mile and a half. there's bound to be some structural integrity issues. if you ask

a lot of engineers, they'll admit to that. numerous leaks can occur. but the problem is these tiny links, not only are they perfectly legal, they're not detectable which will be taken up by our plants. and they'll pollute our water and we won't know it until our water intake it gets clogged. a, you know, the original pipeline was to go through north dakota, but it was going through white people's land, so they redirected it, put it through the indian. the proposed route was going to pass 13 miles north of bismark. but the north dakota public utilities commission denied that permit,

because if there would have been a catastrophic failure, it's proximity to the water supplies would be effected. standing rock is downstream, sending the message that our people, our community are expendable a on september 3rd, the democracy now team came to north dakota to the resistance camps, videotaped the dog with blood dripping from his mouth and his nose, biting protesters or protectors. these images went viral, 14000000 people almost immediately saw these images around the world. we will continue to cover what happens behind the bars. more than

a 140 people has been arrested. so with what i was most struck by was that the 1st people to take on the bulldozers to say, go back, stop desecration. segment sites were women, why women are central in the stroke? good. there are acts award. men have been committed against our people. the state of north dakota, they have denied that desecration, they have denied going to our aboriginal territory and our sacred objects. the water is sacred. the water is the 1st gift of life. and as women and we have a right to protect that water,

the water of mother earth. because all i start is water continue and continue in prayer. and there won't be no black snake going across the report. you know, my mother was in the american indian movement. we were always active in, in issues, were always expected to act a certain way. and growing up, we would joke about like, why do we have to be the ultimate indian? and it's just how we were raised, even in my communities, they're like, oh, your mom's phyllis, younger people know, but i'm proud of that. you know, i co found it the women of all red nations. and we had to rise to the occasion of sterilization, the highest rates were here in this region. and it was an indian woman doctor from

oklahoma who became an m d. and practiced in the indian house service, who exposed that we went throughout the united states and foreign partnerships with the women in all the cities and universities. and so congress passed to that to prohibit sterilization of native people. we also stepped up because of the adoption of indian children. so the indian child welfare act passed in 1978. these 2 very critical acts came from the quarter country. ah, my mom and my little sister always say that i don't all these billions of people on the earth. like we get to be from sitting bulls, people like we get to be from rain in the fees. we get to be with the law court

does crazy horse, and we get to like carry on that legacy of fighting for our way of life. with on october 27th, our north treaty camp was rated. i stood with a many which tony banner for 6 hours. ah,

you're shaking so bad, but all you can do is pray. ah, ah no, these are my rooms. it has not been lethal. armina should put your gun down on his arm here. you are with him, and then to see the buffalo coming over the hill. it was like i was in

a dream. i me up to the native american protesters blocking highway 18 o 6. north dakota governor john dalrymple had mobilized the states national guard. took em approached me kenneth hello or state highways in our county, highways to be taken over by agitators from other areas of the country. no people on earth ever enjoyed a freedom like we indians enjoyed before the white man came to this country. everything was free. we were free and so were the animals and the birds and the rivers. then columbus and his gang hit this country by accident. or sorry that they

did. our instructions didn't tell us what to do about the white man. we welcomed him when he came here. we fed him, we took care of him. we believed god had sent him here to help us. god gave the white man powers we never saw before. material powers, he was supposed to share these powers to make life better for all of us. he didn't . now our great chieftains are gone, our buffalo are gone, our weapons are bows and arrows. our tomahawks are in the museums. they sell our arrow heads and even our bones for souvenir. maybe if we didn't remember how it once was, it wouldn't be so hard for us. we could just become like every one else. can i do you live in your hair? how old are you?

you're fly. everything was taken from us in. that's the biggest part of why our people are on math and using drugs. i worked under the math grant and we see what math and using drugs was doing, not only here but everywhere. and so we put everything into fighting and raising awareness because this'll cause us to be extinct. tell me about her mother. how did she get involved in math and she got with a guy. and he was the one started her using math. and it just now, i mean she just lost who it so this is a hard situation because they're going to take my grand daughter. i don't have no rights baby wakes up every night with night tears and she's looking for her grandma good time. and i'm the only one that she knows that protects. sure.

oh, when in stanny rockdale got every advocate from all over the world there. you know what i'm doing here is 4 children that are just as sacred and sat water. so i stay here and i fight this battle with little song about her i've been compiling, standing long history for about 25 years, compiling the teeny ology. and one of the things that i learned is if we are allowed to know our history or culture our language, our way a life, i, spirituality, we can be balanced people can and then we can choose to follow this way or not. it's our choice because we're our whole people. right now our people walk around with damage of herself,

of being taken from their family. because you're indian. you don't belong here. i ha, and i have a home through the agencies of the government. they are then rapidly brought from their state of comparative savagery and barbarism to one of civilization. here, on the one hand, we have the navajo, as we find him in his dug at home. today i have a group and i have a whole children on the western nav a whole albuquerque and im school on the high school institute. how many people know that, you know, i think the mouth rate on family, we won that right. 1985 to raise our own family. 1985. ah,

we got word that you can see them dakota axis is try to move in with their intention. we don't know and that's why we're cautious between the rubber bullets the bean bag guns. a pepper sprayed the dogs, dragging people out of ceremony. if we don't know what they're doing, and we're not prepared, somebody's gonna get hurt ah with

ah, with yes. i recognize that's a place of prayer. and that's the way of standing. ah,

they really tried to paint us as these violent out of state people when the movement began with women from stanley law and how they can vilify our people for standing up. it's as though they are seen how dare you. new worlds, pollinators are in decline. in this episode of arthritis, we meet entomologists on opposite sides of the planet. protecting insects of all sizes, crucial to preserving food chains. i've come to the you k to see how old industrial sites are being turned into bug reserves in an attempt to reverse this warring trend. fighting and sector get on on al jazeera

is a guest with compelling. we keeping our distance because it's actually quite dangerous. ambulances continued to arrive at the speed of the explosion in by i still don't feel like i actually know enough about what a living under fashion with life unequalled broadcasting in august. and i was born

a happy al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york festivals broadcaster of the year award for the 5th year running. ah, peter, i'll be in the hard top stories from al jazeera police and poland to fire water cannon and tear gas refugees and migrants trying to cross into the you from bella. ruth. thousands are stuck. they're in freezing conditions, polish, and bella, russian authorities blame each other for the crisis out. 0 spoke to some of the migrants. yes, i was there using pepper spray and water and tear gas against the children. is this the human rights of europe? 10 days we've been here without water temperatures or minus 5 and what can we do? where are the human rights organizations? we were good come.
