3:16 am
a much. it's a bill started many years earlier so when bruno had left his home in switzerland in order to escape the developed world. but soon he realized that the part dies he had found was under threat. together with his best friend a time they decided to rally the people and make a stand by building blockades to stop the loggers. we have been dead bodies in the jungle at least i don't know but if and when people come in it is like they are coming in and stealing things i would. the police and educated but not the green.
3:17 am
some people say that. we are fighting a loosing battle. in i guess in the company and against government. when the blockades were right. there was no with the choice and to take the fight to the next level. together they traveled out to rally the world. to the job's action. i see so i know what we know man sam bacile moment of susie's defeated tom odell nutri think will have been almost
3:18 am
a difference this year must either sound like. new tank shells diplomacy and mad leaders of the world. the price he paid upon his return to sorrow like. it was prison and torture. bruno became more desperate and confronted those he held responsible. i think they are doing this. an accident or a stunt or could have been murdered a swiss environmentalist a major irritant to the loggers not parties of malays in borneo has mysteriously disappeared last may he crossed the border from indonesia and trucked into the dense jungle of sorrow and has not been seen since. when we turn he was released from solitary confinement he felt he had no choice.

3:20 am
i was very young and i was away from my own community you know i'm all alone. i didn't really want to be in canada i didn't mean to be unkind you know and when people on the street you know said i go back to your country you know i often hear that. when i pass by people and i said you know if you know me i really don't want to be in your country because of what i you know i went through it and i'm i'm here . yes. if. if. he sat. on this gun saddam would do not radio
3:21 am
free surround but some psycho jones job on hold of it acknowledge is not going to be done with all. that good numbers on good luck on. sunday took me to come i could not not go to sleep don't rush out to got. to read not you might not be getting company you can be my monthly so i want you don't give me one break here i thought i broke i want them. to look weak come eat eat eat eat eat on the phone want them die young but don't live no good beyond what. we were thinking that stopping them logging would be the end of it. if they did we know that this is relentless this attack onslaught on the line of all people.
3:22 am
to me is almost like a final solution. 15 years after bruno's death we find ourselves speaking pulled back into the story again. we decide to seek out the source of the chinese news. i am. i am. when we tracked down malicious. the only independent radio station. we were surprised to find them working in a cramped apartment in central london. and this guy was a duck but they got rid of 3 saw what.
3:23 am
was the show under the tree front and they are strong so that they often show up it's like 5 minutes to look at some of what the author of the radio program yeah well one thing is this guy is too short a wife but. i grew up in surrey and say why cops not people i soon found the fountain in as if i was one of them because that's how i grew up with. very few people i met nature in life and out of this place. but i kept my ears open and i began to hear about the british very worrying things that were happening to the environment and the people. it was a good 13 years before i went back to borneo. it was not a pretty situation so i have to say what has happened in increasing us many have
3:24 am
seen a lot of devastation. it got to the stage where i was finding myself lying in bed at night thinking you know how can i just ignore this. knowing what's happening. in a country where the media is dominated by then the governing clique and then when it was a moment to express dissent. but i'm kept mentioning it to people. so what we really mean is raining station and cyrus session about found out that actually the world specialised in this social radiating is about 2 miles down the rain from me in london. with a window of opportunity to reach the people in the jungle national wave radio.
3:25 am
up to get jacked in this to give a voice to people who have never had a voice before. i'd heard about this activist x.t. jam. i found out a contact form on snuck into surround we had a 10 minute meeting do you fancy coming to britain to run a radio station yeah and that was it. i've always been a. but i never knew that one day i would be a 13th in my own country. nobody dares to speak out and nobody dares. to say things about the government or criticize the government.
3:26 am
so i was thinking to myself let me break the ice and tell everyone what's going on . the way of london had. scully like the sandwich of concealment but don't go but up under and under done under. scully again but it's one of my favorites more but opening up. comedic up but i know. it's not. going to do. i don't know as i asked myself why me you know. how we are from people i love away from the forest that i care for. this was the longest look around we had mined mobs
3:27 am
about 20300 people stoned out of time you this was no time when i said well you know to heck with my consequences the land is more important the force is more important so that's why there and somewhere on this mountain i decided ok i'll go on under one. for the 1st time 3080 percent lift their homeland to tell the world of their plight . we went to 24 cities and folk in countries. living in the plane their airports and between the borders. to me there was so much hope in the world to save us.
3:28 am
when i went to the unit the next and i thought this is thank god one of them government where they can make decisions over and above. several rock indigenous people alliance as a very naive person at a time i thought that was it things will change. mr president. distinguished guest fellow tribal leaders. let 1993 be of indigenous people and bring peace and hope a year for the bleeding forest let this year get its message. into the forests of borneo. to do woman. praying
3:29 am
in the night that the days of our children will not be like hers. in the air and i said what am i doing you know. if i do all these things outside the world north about it but nothing is happening to protect our forests. it doesn't help. save one. i. miss you news about it about all this campaign overseas. if my voice if my work does not carry weight back home it's useless for me.
3:30 am

3:31 am
malaysia's keen statesman and one of 2 states located on the rain forest rich island of borneo. how did this gentleman then asked such a fortune. type mahmoud 1st came to power 33 years ago. from a simple background he had been granted a scholarship just at the low. soon afterwards he gained the powerful position of minister of forestry. time preached modernization. he saw the 130000000 year old rain forest. is the fuel that would propel sato walk into the future.
3:32 am

3:33 am
or no. let me put to you needs allegations that person me you have benefited but your family a benefited that maybe you have been easy on muggers who want to develop plans in return for benefits to you 1st of all i would like to see. my family and myself are doing well it has nothing to do with sexploitation taking anything i. of discounting. the laws of the state strictly forbid politicians from earning money from private business. the question was
3:34 am
how to tie the must so much family wealth. over to the years. anybody can get it if they hit something out there but if you don't have it you. can do. it it's extraordinary really because neighbors he has really got down to systematically investigating timing and. todd when the news has absolutely no legitimate right to be a wealthy man he has been a public servant since enough university i spent a couple months researching it 1st looking for stories. we asked about it and got
3:35 am
a few breaks i soon began to get some really good information. i have heard that somebody was taking legal action against the tide family. and i spent about 3 months trying to find out who lost for it was interesting and. such a hearing agree with. you want a piece of your good luck. he was in the real state business and worked with the time family for 12 years. until we fell out with. the key thing was that he was able to give me
3:36 am
documents. but this is the exterior that tied to tie personally for the very 1st time to these fast properties in the united states. he was a director of a company that i own and he was also privately shown to be the chief shareholder. something he's always avoided being made public. that was very valuable information but ross was able to provide me with. the years the over the scope and all these assets. i had no idea whether anyone was going to read my blog and suddenly i was getting fountains of hits a day. when. we went out 210-0008 day hits he had to get all sorts of new provisions. placed a way to cope with such
3:37 am
a huge number of readers. to begin with the turning up the on thing the more you deemed the more you and disturbed one and then people start coming to you. people from right where then where then times in a circle. clear became something of a whistleblower hotline is the radio station developed into the voice of the opposition. back in montreal the town is becoming more distressed as he learns that the civilians have already moved into his own valley. can be of the winter. if we didn't start.
3:38 am
with it from what. i know i heard this wonderful family oh here in colorado. they are my 1st thing in my life. military time. if the name continues i don't know what do we call a home. game you ever detach yourself to something of this so so close to your heart. even do i tried to go out of it. i can never forget it. if i have to go back i. i have to rally my community this is the last opportunity the
3:39 am
3:40 am
office over college but by. going have a good day ok o'reilly i'm not gonna. do that i don't know my back and i walk back you know when i. come in when a company like there's a boy in the town about the level of the bible to look at doesn't want the love of god. only. if you bring the elders back you're looking at least they were right.
3:41 am
when we meet claire again she's deeply involved in picking through the labyrinth of companies that seem to have links to time. she travels to the bruno mansour fund to meet her closest ally lucas strom. ross keeping everything by the end he wasn't throwing any pieces of paper away and you know i think this is interesting. all these beds are very interesting i mean the smoking gun it's these yeah i mean all this is supplementary everything's but with this i mean he really has a problem. shortly after bruno disappeared lucas took over the reins of the foundation that bruno had established. he knew instinctively that they had to take
3:42 am
a new direction and since then he had been at the forefront of investigating the timber industry. everyone knows there is a huge corruption involved in the tropical timber business and the world bank says it interpol says it everyone knows it. my impression was we have to do more on the legal side. we have to tackle the system and we have to follow the money. they're all spoiled papers are a real breakthrough for the type family empire is bigger more complex and more global than we ever imagined we even found his family if be i building in seattle what we have to do now is deep deep roots and try to find out how much they really own all of the worlds.
3:43 am
thank. you tom. no. really remember to. do thank you but you're right i'm going to. tell you or tell yeah your money. being made yeah yeah i know can mean you have nickel yeah. but no rules. on falling into. no not me so i know. to how many phone time not only through. phone i mean less. than 4000 will get limited by only. them and i think they thought may only need
3:44 am
3:45 am
we travels to meet up with those who took a brutal fight for the rights of the phnom. oh. no you don't get moved here wealthy should. pay off i. always got you kind of down to earth and they have a subsidiary in the u.k. . this is the 2nd where. i've been blasted that i had so much. well i mean well the obvious. lucas in close investigation into companies linked to tie and introduce them to be in the workings of the global financial system. yeah i
3:46 am
see. their research i don't covered an international web full of offshore bank accounts holding companies and wealth managers. the scale of money laundering from logging worldwide is massive. interpol has estimated that more than $30000000000.00 on norms of the year. the bank's money laundering regulations lay down strict rules for doing business with politicians but these regulations are any policed by the banking industry itself. that. type has always denied personally profiting from the land but many have questioned how a public servant on a modest salary has apparently become so wells. we've linked time undisclosed to him to 400 companies in 25 countries.
3:47 am
goldman sachs u.b.s. gave massive loans to the thai bad ministration. ages b.c. had all the major plantation logging companies on their books the biggest of them all probably would be dodger bank. joint shabak has had a very close and lasting assassination with the time family. they set up a joint venture with a type family in malaysia. through which to tide families personel realestate in north america is being held. often corruption is referred to as the crow. i am without the victims but it's not true. we should not base our allegations on the rumors or suspicions we should try to base the structure of the complaints on the facts and the evidence. so.
3:48 am
it's now an interesting moment in history. we keep attacking the type now and the pressure that all the different channels and shame them internationally . am i'm claire and there's a huge story just come out of malaysia. are all the blogs going with it. after 2 years of dream reduce the show i might as well exports myself. when they tried to scare you give us your own ways for free. so i decided to call back. anything happened to me at least the media are wrong what's going on. we watch this the campaign begun to creep to momentum of its own. and the international media began

3:54 am
a single we need people doing this. this is a global crime and every jurisdiction is dying to offload the investigation job onto somebody else. that's what's happening. in malaysia civil society started to flourish as free media outlets started to multiply and. now. they've lost their sense of moral authority their legitimacy. so we've got to be a little bit braver too and my view is that we challenge them. they're not what you thought of looking. out of a cup so a little shower. running coming out of what everyone must speak to one and.
3:55 am
