this famous market near paris complain. it's just changed the spy who loved me it's not just the title of a james bond movies that are in roger moore it's also the title of a chapter in the lives of british women like kate she thought she had met the man of her dreams but after years of a happy relationship it turned out that the man she shared her life with was on a mission to collect information about her and fellow activists in fact she is not the only woman that this spy took advantage of. lisa often went hiking with her boyfriend whenever they could they would get away together and enjoy being out in nature it was one of their hobbies lisa's face isn't being shown in this report because it could negatively affect the clarification of her case. she was my
8:47 am
life i really thought that we were at the beginning of something that you know we had a future together. lisa was together with mark for 6 years they spent a case since christmas and their nights together. they come in to your family life in such an intimate way and in such an in you know it's it seemed quite intrusive to think that he you know that when i found out who yet really was to know that he'd been that i was closest to him it's you know the times when i'm when i've just lost my father and the 1st person i ring when i'm leaving the hospital is having just seen my father die he's the 1st person i call so you know it's it's very close. 50 years ago lisa with a dedicated didn't fire mental activist she took part in climate change demonstrations and in her group organized protests against power plants mark was
8:48 am
always in on the action. years later while they were on holiday together she came across mark's id with a completely different name on it she was really an undercover police officer who'd been assigned to report on her and those around her. felt to me like the ground interest me going to my feet like like the mountains went solid anymore it was really really de stabilizing made me made me afraid because i just didn't know what to believe what was true and what wasn't. several times a day mark would inform his police contact about what was happening in the environmental activists and after his cover was blown he agreed to be filmed to explain how his job worked he can use the words for any. us government intelligence all leftwing movement on the anti freshest mood which on environmental initiatives
8:49 am
in the infantry 18 people in the. selling credit card carrying a worsening of gone or selling child children. are such a joy infiltration people who would never sign from conscience. would ever environmental activists plan protests like this one at a coal fired power plant at rochester market pass on info to its contacts in advance so the police knew how to prepare for the demonstration with just enough but not too many officers but doesn't fabricating a relationship crossed the line for undercover police operations. and anyone well we were falling in love you know these things just happen. the police issued an official apology acknowledging that their agents went too far because after marks covered was blown more colleagues were unmasked at least 30 women were unknowingly
8:50 am
in relationships with undercover police officers ok that's one of them she was also together with mark but before he met lisa cates pitched a tent in their garden so we could talk to her during the corona pandemic she's taking legal action against the police her case is now before the karpin court of human rights. what they were doing was terrible and the units were institutionally sexist and they were using women as an operational tactic. kid accuses the police of contravening the european. human rights she says her right to privacy was violated because as her partner mark pried into all areas of her life she feels the police to mean to her. the human right who exists above all to identify when states
8:51 am
abusing human rights and if we can establish that it is an abuse of human rights then that goes some way towards. making it preventing it from happening again and. still can't be sure of that although the british government has officially condemned the police tactics it hasn't acted accordingly in london and the inquiry into undercover policing has been going on for months but has produced surprisingly few results and the government itself has just able to bill in parliament that would expand rather than limit what undercover agents can do that would even allow them to break laws much to the surprise of fellow conservative m.p.'s and top bill deals with participation in criminal conduct by covert schuman and intelligence sources this is an important and unique tactic by working their way into the hearts of criminal groups choose are able to access intelligence that
8:52 am
other investigation powers may simply never detect how is that using the human rights act to underpin the rights of us it is the way in which agencies are required to act under the spill is that they cannot actually way that is inconsistent with the conventions right. so british laws would offer no protection against too much spying only the european convention on human rights the police would have less control to fear in future. anybody working undercover for these organizations is going to have a. route to be authorized to commit crime and to face no legal consequence for that so i think it definitely still going on lisa relationship with mark ended a decade ago but it's hard for her to find closure as she fears this kind of spying will never end. finding 10 years later that there are still
8:53 am
new depths to be to be you know this new things coming out a new reasons to be angry all over again. mark spent more than 7 years spying on his partner yet the information he obtained never led to a single conviction. we now take you to a paradise for many animals it's located in romania in the danube delta to be precise in the village of left you'll find a forest with wild horses and now it's maybe attempting to jump on one of them and ride into the sunset but the horses probably prefer being left alone. every move down your delta is once a few retreats for wild horses if you are. based on shelter and the unspoiled nature of the lead. an extraordinary place for not only some birches group but also
