all have clashed of the should take the european union's top job the tensions come of the 2 native meet with of the e.u. heads of government in brussels to discuss the leadership for the next 5 years. you're watching news live from berlin coming up next is the borneo case a documentary on the fight against in the loading the staterooms that sounds thanks for watching. it's all happening good job of it coming. normally tough news from africa the world joining 2 exceptional stories and discussions can one go comes the debut suffocating program tonight from one germany was easy to our website d w much africa joined us on facebook. africa.

this is the final image of bruno munson. taken a few days before he disappeared for a into the borneo jungle. we had been making a documentary. for monks the last to see him on. it's a dull stall to. so. when bruno had left his home in switzerland in order to escape the divide. world. but soon he

realized that the part of the ice he had found was under threat. together with his best friend the time they decided to rally the people and make a stand by building blockades to stop the locus. we have been in doubt for days in the jungle let me decide if i want to go 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. in my against india company and against government.

when the blockades were right. it was no with the choice to take the fight to the next level. together they traveled out to rally the world. to know joe's action. must be so high no would be no man's an offense to move into the city see it it all madame had she simply didn't know said defies this you must see you both sound like. you trying chose diplomacy and met leaders of the world. the price he paid upon his return to sorrow like. was prison and torture.

bruno became more desperate and confronted those he 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 law. of malays in borneo has mysteriously disappeared last may he crossed the border from indonesia and trucked into the dense jungle of and has not been seen since. when we china was released from solitary confinement. he felt he had no choice but to flee into exile. in the years that past. we could never forget. what happened to me time after the disappearance of bring. him to the people he left behind.

you. 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 theme and i'm all alone. i didn't really want to be in canada i didn't mean to be in canada you know and when people. on the streets 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 didn't want to be in your country. because of what i you know i went through that i mean i'm here. yes. if. the plan. was. just going saddam and going on radio free surround but some psycho jones john i thought of it acknowledged smoking would be done with it and. that it would not go. on. some took me to come i could not believe the washout the who got.

really got to my doctor to get the company didn't he would be someone who don't give me one break here i thought i'd throw my word down. he took eat eat eat eat eat eat eat worms from a month or die young the young you are young. 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 of our people. 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 times news. i am. when we tracked down malicious. and you can depend to a greater station. he 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. i wanted to show under the tree trying to make it stronger that they often show. it's like fight mr dog it's not what ya radio program yeah well one thing i do is this is too short a wife but. i grew up in

stone. by cops and the people on some facet found them in as if i was one of them because that's who i grew up with. very few people i met nature and i found out of this place. but i kept my ears open and i began to hear about the british very worrying things that were happening and to the environment and to the people and. it was a good 13 years before i went back to tony and. it was not a pretty situation so i have to say what is happened in increasing us many 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. new ng what's happening.

in a country where the media is dominated by the governing clique and then when it was aimed to express dissent. but i'm kept mentioning it to people. what we really means a radio station and so i researched about it found out that actually the world specialised in this social radio is about 2 miles down the road from me in london. was a window of opportunity to reach the people in the jungle my friend you know. how to get jackson is to give a voice to people who have never had a voice before and. i've heard about this activist eckstein jam. i found out a contact form and 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 of such deeds in my own country. nobody dares to speak out and nobody dares. to say things about the government or criticize the government. so i was thinking to myself let me break the ice and tell everyone what's going on. the way london has. skelly like the sandwich of concealment but that under under under done under. scalia give me one of my favorites more pull up and.

coming up but i'm not old. enough to walk must not the. people who did not believe. down with us myself why me you know. how we are from people i love our own from the forest that i care for. this was the longest look at we had my dogs. about 20300 people stoned out of time you this was a 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 right there and on

somewhere on this mountain i decided ok i'll go on underwater. for the 1st time 3 and natives have left their homeland to tell the world 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 much hope in the world to save us. when i went to the united nations i thought it was one of government where they can make decisions over and above so many so. subtle rock indigenous peoples alliance as a very naive person at the time i thought that was it things will change.

mr president distinguished guest fellow tribal leaders. let 1903 be of indigenous peoples 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 to the woman who we are. praying. in the night the days of our children. will not be like. india and i said what am i doing here you know. if i do all these thing outside the world north about it but nothing is happening

to. it as a. one . i. use of about it about all this campaign overseas. if my voice my what does not carry weight back home is useless for me. well the fact global viral crime watch your host all out civil servants just personal fortune of. $1000000000.00 easy just destroy

the fairy ring force you have been trusted to protect that's the charge being leveled against this man is that he was off. to the. high even is the chief minister of surat. a lawyer just of malaysia's keen statesman and one of 2 states located on the rain forest which island of borneo. how did this gentleman he then has such a fortune. type mahmoud 1st came to power 33

years ago. from a simple background he had been granted the scholarship to study lol. soon afterwards he gained the powerful position of minister forestry. time i preached modernization. he sold the 130000000 year old rain forest. is the fuel that would propel sato back into the future. for young women who i know many good morning i mean it don't come not just one

incident but it's a how to do it it's a find out of the inside i doubt me. and the tides are a side i walk has been the largest exporter of tropical timber in the world. today almost 90 percent of the primary rain forest is gone. or no. let me put to you

needs on occasion that's personally you have benefited but your family a benefits in it that maybe you have been easy on mortgages who want to develop plans in return for benefits to you. 1st of all i would like to see. my family and myself doing with it is nothing to do with sex but they should get killing anything out of discounters. the laws of the state strictly forbid politicians from earning money from private business. the question was how to tie the must so much family wealth. over the years. anybody can get it if they have something up 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 and then it has absolutely not it's just not right to be a wealthy man he has been a public servant since he left university i spent a couple months researching it 1st looking for stories. we asked about it and got a few breaks i soon began to get some really good information and. i had heard that somebody was taking legal action against the thai family.

and i spent about 3 months trying to find out who asked for it was and tracking and . using a hearing. you want a piece of good luck. he was in the round 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. exterior that time to time personally for the very 1st time to these vast properties in the united states. team as a director of the company that owned them 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. a year's iover of the school and all these answers. i had no idea whether anyone was going to read my blog and suddenly i was getting fountains of hits the day. we went up 200008 day kids because they had to get all sorts of new provisions in place to write to cope with such a huge number of readers. to begin with turning up the off thing the more you deemed the more you run disturb on and then people start coming to you. people from right within within time in a circle. claire became something of

a whistleblower hotline was the radio station developed into the voice of the opposition. back in montreal tang is becoming more distressed as he learns that the dam civilians have already moved into his own valley. can you. afford it it's time. for. i know i have this wonderful family are here in kind of. down my 1st thing in my life.

but at the same time. if demand continues i don't know what do we call home. how can you ever really tense yourself to something that is so so close to your heart. even do i try to go out of it. i can never forget it. i have to go back i have to rally my community this is the last opportunity the last chance.

to meet people that are black congressmen. by the. dems and. all. look at this look like a sea goodness but some loud talent but nothing no done to me but i'm glad to hear that by the hour goes on is our mother going to follow up bob it's only college but by. going to my having been a k o l e and not other. commissioners are coming on my block and

a lot but you know when i. come in when a company that was a boy in the town about the level of the public of good doesn't want the love that i. don't know. if you bring the elders back you're looking at it with the right. when we meet clear again she's deeply involved in leaking through the labyrinth of companies that seem to have links to time. she travels to the bruno mansa fund to meet her closest ally lucas trump.

ross was keeping everything at 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 is this yeah i mean all this is something measuring everything 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 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.

spoiled papers are a real breakthrough for the thai prime an empire is bigger more complex and more global than we ever imagined we even found out his family owns the f.b.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 over the world. thank. you tom. i don't think really remember to. me. if you don't think you'd like to do it

if anyone i knew i could. tell you much oh yeah yeah money. to be made yeah man i know in the community who can be you have nick until you're ready yeah. but not till. i get out. on it though. you know not me so i know. the how money from time not only through. the i'm in the. 4th annual limits of my own making. and i don't think they are doing made radical and yet they're going out to my bond market itself. and finding an opening. for you to make everything. you know.

reflects over the flooding of his home busy his mind to to 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. that .

you want peace but a long fight. so we've got the kind of down to earth and they have a subsidiary in the u.k. . this is the 2nd way. i've been to last a day and so much well well there probably is. lucas and close investigation into companies linked to type i do introduce them to the inner workings of the global financial system. yeah i 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 normal day g. . the bank's money laundering regulations lay down strict rules for doing business with politicians with these regulations or 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 wells. we've linked time and those close to him to $400.00 companies in $25.00 countries. goldman sachs u.b.s. gave massive loans to the type administration. agents b.c. had all the major plantation local companies on their books the biggest of them all probably would be dodger bank. deutscher back has had a very close and lasting

a cessation with the time family. they set up a joint venture with a time family in malaysia. through which to tie primaries personal release date 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 structure of the complaints on the facts and the evidence. 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 on its current there's a huge story just come out of malaysia are all the blogs going with it.

after 3 years or 3 reduce the 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 the media run what's going on. we watch this to come pain become to create a momentum of its own. and the international media began to shine a spotlight on laser stage of sarawak is touted in tours imagine as a 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 us what you think 12 new dams will do hundreds of square miles or rain forest

tropical rain forest will be flooded in strong walk plug time. but not me i think that night. got sick of it. but i. was told. i. was going to have sex i was so sick. i think it. was. one of the money we solve. for. the whole sun.

finally all the hard work was paying off. sara chief minister. has announced that he successor. these to handing over his resignation letter. types is other than has the trust of not only the other candidates for chief minister but that of the whole but the perceptible. when the new chief minister comes to. play lucas on the time altogether to the embassy to listen to what he has to say to the kids at the price was ok and the embassy has its own library spire ok . i'm.

sorry. but. you. really should. not. you know very very well being. careful about. what. you believe caution. i have. problems right. here you know we've got. i. moved to.

no more. than. one of them are no more. normal. but my. right. i don't know whether this is too good to be true but the onus is on us that they came with his words and that him this is what he said we're going to take you on your road and we don't going to help you if you if you want to go out this morning ok yeah i already. know more. nimble you for it. i guess wow i. visit that.

no one ever imagined he'd leave his post. he had all the major political power and he was acting within a normal transparent environment. and all it did was actually take a bit of dedicated investigative activity. while we do casing that we need people doing this. this is a global crime and every jurisdiction is dying to offload the investigative job on to 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. going up we started looking at high level corruption and those are. really coming out of what everyone was acting like the one on. one planet the story accusing the malaysian prime minister himself of months of corruption over 500000 people took to the streets. a warrant was that issued further asked for activities detrimental to. column and she democracy.

in sorrow on the new chief minister announced that the building of the law just would now be suspended. but no promise has been made about all the remaining. bits on now regularly reaches to the country. he is helping to build a legal case to claim the law and save one of the last pockets of forest that still remain.

no significant about i mean a lot about not getting my dots we got it out i said if i don't have you don't go up in the end i got you i'm going to. bomb but i'll see. if you don't know your history what are you. and how can your propel yourself into the future if you don't know you. told me this is important. not just story called you but also for young kids listen to see to be proud of who they are what their parents or what their grandparents go.
