7:17 am
soon he realized that the pirate dice he had found was under threat. together with his best friend one time they decided to rally the people and make a stand by building blockades to stop the loggers. would have been dead bodies in the jungle i mean these i don't know but if and when people come in it is like they're coming into our house and steal and take things away without the police and educated but looking green. some people say that. we are fighting a loosing battle. tonight against the company and against government.
7:18 am
when the blockades were right. it was no with the choice to take the fight to the next level. together we traveled out to rally the world. to know joe's action. must be so high no would be no man's and just a moment of service to see to tell madame the truth and didn't know instead defies destroy myself with our black. blue tongue chose diplomacy and met leaders of the world. the price he paid upon his return to sorrow i. was present on torture.
7:19 am
bruno became more desperate and confronted those who held responsible. i think they are doing this. an accident a stunt or could have been murdered a swiss environmentalist a major irritant to the barges of malays in borneo has mysteriously disappeared last may he crossed the border from in the new zealand tricked into the dense jungle of subtle walk and has not been seen since. when we turn was released from solitary confinement he felt he had no choice but to flee into exile. in the years the past. we could never forget. what happened to me time after the disappearance of. much of the people he left behind.
7:20 am
for the 1st few years when i came to canada i always ask myself why me you know. 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 you know. and when people
7:21 am
on the streets you know said i go back to your country you know what i often hear that. when i pass by people and i said you know if you know me i really didn'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. the last. word. on this gun saddam going down on radio free surat was some psycho jones job and i thought of it acknowledged smoking would be done with. that if you could not go with. some took me home i mean not going to sleep don't rush out there who got.
7:22 am
really got to my doc because he did the company didn't come up with me so i want. to be on break here but i grew up i want them. to look weak come eat sleep eat eat eat eat on the phone one of them die young but not when young to be out. we were thinking that stopping them logging would be the end of it. if they did we know about this relentless this attack onslaught on the land off all people. to me is almost like a final solution. 15 years after bruno's death we find ourselves being pulled back into the story again . we decide to seek out the source of the
7:23 am
times news. i am. when we tracked down malicious. only independent breed to station. we was surprised to find them working in a cramped apartment in central london. on the skull of saddam but they got rid of 3 saw what. was the show under treatment and it was too long for that they often show up. to start fires to look at snow but yeah the radio program yeah well one thing i do is this part is too short they why but.
7:24 am
i grew up in suffolk and sat in my cups now the people are some fast facts i'm in as if i was one of them because that's how i grew up with. very few people i met nature and i fell 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 to have to sing much as happened in increasing us money seen a lot of devastation. it got to the stage where i was finding myself lying in bed and nice to hear you know how can i just ignore this. knowing what's happening.
7:25 am
in a country where the media is dominated by the governing clique and then when he was able to express dissent. but i'm kept mentioning it to people. so what we really need is a radio station and so i researched about it found out that actually the world specialised in the social range and is about 2 miles down the road from me in london. was a window of opportunity to reach the people in the jungle when frankly i'm. out big objective is to give a voice to people who have met i had to force before. i've heard about this activist x.-t. james. i found out a contact for him and snuck into surround but we had
7:26 am
a 10 minute meeting do you fancy coming to britain to run a radio station yeah and that was it. i've always mean a. but i never knew that one day i would be a food chief in my own country. nobody needs to speak out and nobody dares. to say things about the government or criticise the government. so i was thinking to myself let me break the ice and tell everyone what's going on . london had. this. scully like the sandwich of concealment but under and under done under.
7:27 am
scalia give me one of my favorites more but opening up. the media got but i'll. not want. my kids. around with i asked myself why i mean you know. we're from people i love away from the forest i care for. this was the longest look and we had 9 mobs. but about 20300 people staying at a time you this was the time when i said well you know to heck with my consequences the land is more important the force is more important
7:28 am
so that's why right there and then on somewhere on this mountain i decided ok i'll go on underwater. for the 1st time 3080 percent left their homeland to tell the world of their plight . we went to 24 cities and 13 countries. living in the plane the airports in between the borders. to me there was so modes home in the world to save us. when i went to the united nation i thought she was one of government where there can be make decisions over and above. several rock indigenous peoples alliance as a very naive person at
7:29 am
a time i thought that was it things will change. mr president distinguished guest fellow tribal leaders. let 1993 the year of indigenous people bring a year of peace and hope a year for their story some of their bleeding forest let this year get its message . into the forests of borneo the woman who whips. praying in the night that the bears are for children. we're not be like. india and i said what am i doing you know. if i do all these things outside the world knows about it but nothing is happening
7:30 am

news allegations that person me you have benefited but your family a benefit in that maybe you have been easy on muggers who want to develop land 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 discounters. the laws of the state strictly forbid politicians from earning money from private business. the question was how type of must so much family wealth. over the years. anybody can get it if they had that something up there but if you don't have it do you. can do.
7:35 am
it. it's extraordinary really because a neighbor who has really got down to systematically investigating tide money and. toddler mood has absolutely no just not 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 and got a few breaks and i soon began to get some really good information. i have heard that somebody was taking legal action against the tide family.
7:36 am
and i spent about 3 months trying to find my heroes for it was them tracking and. using a hearing. you would piece of good luck. he was in the run estate business and what with the time family for 12 years. until we fell out with. the key thing was that he was able to give me documents. but this is the exterior that time to time personally for the very 1st time to these fast properties in the united states. he was a director of the company that owned them and he was also privately shown to be the
7:37 am
chief shareholder. something he's always avoided being made public. that was very valuable information but ross was able to provide me with. a year's iover scope and all these assets. i had no idea whether anyone was going to read my blog and suddenly i was getting fastens of hits a day and. we went out to a 100000 a day yes he had to get all sorts of new provisions. placed a way to cope with such a huge number of readers. to begin with turning up the on thing the more you deemed one disturbed one and then people start coming to you. people from right where then with then times
7:38 am
in a circle. claire became something of a whistleblower hotline is the radio station developed into the voice of the opposition. back in montreal. is becoming more distressed as he learns that the dam civilians have already moved into his own valley. and. therefore that it's time to. put it from an. i know i have built this wonderful family are here in colorado. they are my 1st thing in my life.
7:39 am
better midterm time. if they don't continues i don't know what do we call home. our can you ever detach yourself to something to be so so close to your heart. even do i tried to go out of it. again never forget it. if i have to go back i. i have to rally my feet the last opportunity of a last chance. to
7:40 am
meet people that are back on going to. buy the. dam and. all. the good this looks like a sea goodness but some loud dark but nothing no done to me but i'm glad to meet death by dollar goes on this i'm either going to all about bob's old college but by. going to my having been a bad boy out of it or not other. reasons i don't know my back
7:41 am
and walk part in the we're going. to move in a company that was a boy and a fan of bob dylan of the bubblegum good doesn't want the love that i'll get. only . if you bring the editors back you're looking at this they were right. when we meet claire again she's deeply involved in digging through the labyrinth of companies that seem to have links to time. she travels through the brutal months of
7:42 am
fun 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 papers some very interesting and i mean this is my thing is this yeah i mean all this is sort of entry everything's but with this i mean he really has a problem. shortly after bruno disappeared lucas took over the reins of the foundation the bruno had established. he knew instinctively that they had to take 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
7:43 am
the legal side. we have to tackle the system and we have to follow the money. spoiled papers are a real breakthrough for the thai prime an empire he's bigger more complex and more global than we ever imagined we even found that his family owns to f.b.i. building in seattle what we have to do now is dig deep roots and try to find out how much they really are and all over the world. thank. you tom. i don't really remember. you know thank you but if you're.
7:44 am
going to do what i think you think you would tell yeah yeah monica. have it made yeah yeah my name in the community who you have because no unity yes. but no rule. i. need to. no not me so i know. when you think i'm not funny. and i'm in the i'm in love. with and get on with a bio and i think i need something and economic a named radical minion coming out of the mob i'm not good if it's. binding and mean. i think everything. you know.
7:45 am
reflects over the flooding of his home busy his mind to do what he can do to stop it. we follow him to switzerland we travels to meet up with those who took a brutal fight for the rights of the power not. on
7:46 am
. the documents you want to show you but hey i. got to. count down to earth and they have a subsidiary in the u.k. . this is the 2nd where. i've been to last a day and some of the. well i mean well then probably the. lucas and close investigation into companies linked to tide a day introduce them to the inner workings of the global financial system. yeah i see. there 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
7:47 am
more than $30000000000.00 on norms of the year. and the bank's money laundering regulations lay down strict rules for doing business with politicians that these regulations are any policed by the banking industry itself. the. 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 wealthy. we've linked time and there's close to him to $400.00 companies in $25.00 countries. goldman sachs u.b.s. gave massive loans to the thai bad news straight. h.s.b.c. had all the major plantation blocking companies on their books the biggest of them all probably would be deutsche bank. deutsche bank has had
7:48 am
a very close and lasting association with the time family. they set up a joint venture with a time family in malaysia. through which the thai family's personal real estate in north america is being held. often corruption is referred to as the crime without victims but it's not true. we should not base our allegations on the rumors or suspicions we should try to base the struggle campaigns on the facts and the evidence. it's now an interesting moment in history. that we keep attacking type now and we appreciate it over different channels and shamed him internationally. am i it's clear on this is a huge story just come out of malaysia all the game with it.
7:49 am
after 3 years of 3 radio show i might as well exports myself. when you try to scare you if you're afraid your own risk for it. so i decided to call back. anything happened to me at least to me to the wrong box point. we watch this to come paint becomes to create a momentum of its own. and the international media began to shine the spotlight spilled lasers state of sarawak is touted in tourism ads as paradise but it's lush tropical rain forest is disappearing at an astonishing rate a section of this tropical rain forest the size of england has been cut down tell

7:51 am

7:55 am
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 they're going to be a little bit privateer and my view is that we challenge them. a lot we started looking at high level corruption and also. really coming out of what everyone was acting with the one on. one clearness the story accusing the malaysian prime minister himself of muss of corruption over 500000 people took to the streets. a warrant was then issued for the rest
