9:30 am
since you were a child let's see if that doesn't cause you some serious illness. and all those stomach cancer is definitely. another cause of cancer is the lack of protection. against sexual relations around the edge of eleven or twelve but there's no control or hygiene or. that is why there are so much cancer amongst women. i would like to tell those shameless people from texaco responsible for what my family and all of us who live in amazonia are going through. for me all this is a tragedy. and this also. because of them i'm dying a slow death and i don't want to live like this. i never imagined i would get sick
9:31 am
because of living in that town without knowing where to go i have a lot of rage against those shameless people who really don't feel the pain of the people. they have only beautiful was and great cars while others have nothing to eat i don't want to live like this it's very painful many times i want to die. with it and you can see below oil more clearly here that i'm in. all this is oil
9:32 am
and there's even more. the deeper i dig the more i will find. yet i made a move to this house thinking that but talks are being cleaned out they have been told that a good job. when it is very hot oil produces gases in the soil and then the residents absorb it. all is clear is the only thing texaco really did here in. the woods to cover up everything. absolutely nothing else.
9:33 am
i mean tonight on mars. these people say. it's not that i'm trying to defend the company it's just old. everything they do is based on lies slander and economic profit. at the trial the natives showed that they would not be trampled on so easily they
9:34 am
had been cheated their hold life they've been told of oil was good for their health that they should spread it on their skin to keep the most skeeters away now they don't believe what they are told so easily. this is the biggest environmental trial in world history has been held until you know a well known provincial town off. we're told again. i i . mr vo is the.
9:35 am
number of documents in this case. comes to some one hundred forty two thousand pages and then we will really have a whole library here that. you and i believe that for the participants it is a moment. for us however it's just another trial. we're. going to bring you this for to force this american company to stand trial as a future it's hasn't been done before and a so-called third world country. who. spent fifteen years i mean i've literally grown up and grown old worker was curious and there is a scenario where could go on another five or ten years because of what i would call a complete abuse of the judicial process by shirt i mean they basically pay lawyers
9:36 am
to do away as much as they possibly care because they know when the final decision kerman's the chances are very very high that they're going to lose this case and lose it on a massive scale they molested him he said you know i will i must sometimes mr lawyer prove to me that this person has died of cancer caused by texaco oil the put it is the well you can prove that one particular case of cancer was specifically caused by texaco he's not but and who had been operating here for over twenty years in the same ones who had caused the destruction texaco. most of the highest level there was any environmental regulation the history of the world so that's real money even to an oil company i mean sixteen billion dollars is
9:37 am
almost. one year one years profits of schober. the company will not put up with blackmail because for the company and for me it is blackmail so they have an expert asking for unrealistic figures such as eight billion or sixteen billion or let them name whatever some they're asking for we're talking about an expert to refer to the damage just claims that the sole responsible party is texaco but he forgets the petroecuador has been operating here for twenty years. state owned petro ecuador was the want to inherit all texaco facilities and infrastructure as soon as the company left the country afterwards contra pet expired unfortunately as a reality shows petro ecuador also inherited the bad practices of the past.
9:38 am
if we had any kind of alleged responsibility it stopped existing eighteen to twenty years ago when petro ecuador took charge of all tech school facilities. petro ecuador has cost eight hundred eighty two oil spills in six years why don't they do anything against petroecuador say look if they were interested in people's health and in nature then why are they doing nothing against petroecuador. why only against a multi-national company that left twenty years ago and has been acquitted by the government i'll tell you why it's what americans call the deep pocket. that's the only possible explanation if you simply use. their strategy is simple they left ecuador in one thousand nine hundred two but we only began the trial in the us in one thousand nine hundred three when they couldn't accuse the state oh company
9:39 am
of anything. in the past eighteen years of course the state company has done many things. that has caused damage and spills. in clear text of its guilt.
9:40 am
made minced to the plant nearby and then it happened they forgot to turn off. their always spills one every month. petroecuador says it's not responsible for the spill caused here that is what petroecuador says and just leave things as they are. feel. the water is polluted. and why do you wash your clothes here. not only do we have nowhere else to wash them this is the only creek and this is where all of us who live here come feel there are always cool spills from oil well nine from four from say new blog there are three or wells that cause the spills into the stream we go to
9:41 am
a quad core and they don't care they say there are no leaks they say there was no problem.
9:42 am
is good but this is a will. never run it from the plant spills they end up in a property. their own thing and by what they think it in my compound whatever they claim there was no pollution here. for a bit that what it is pure oil. if you know but they say they will clean up and there will be no pollution. how will they clean everything in order to clear out the pollution will they turn our houses upside down and clean beneath them to eliminate the pollution. and i think it is at the moment they don't care about other peoples lives. in san carlos
9:43 am
and many have died from cancer caused by pollution. and. eighteen twenty year old girls have died leaving orphans behind. two of us have cancer my daughter and i. heard. one of them and there was pollution everywhere in order to have no pollution production would have to stop. the state of ecuador owes its
9:44 am
citizens and it must rest a-q. the environmental and social damage caused upon them from living in oil producing areas and they knew what i would mean you don't know what. however that will drilling cannot stop you. but why because our country has needs social needs. despite its mineral wealth ecuador is one of the poorest countries. with. seventeen point five billion dollars. in the past corrupt governments used oil income.
9:45 am
to die a slow death sinking into pollution and misery. there is no state here and we don't even have the basics but the oil companies. every day. we have. electricity. development of a better life. that is why oil companies drill oil every day. but they don't care about us. know how to in the name of development think of themselves.
9:46 am
if you go into the places where. thousand times. they care about nobody. and in one thousand nine hundred eighty two when i got here i was one of the first ones to arrive and there was absolutely nothing only a mountain. when one day i went to work in a rude construction and when i returned i found over five tractors destroying my farm. when i went to petroecuador to protest they insulted my mother and told me to
9:47 am
get out of here he treated me in an awful way there was nothing i could do. but we peasants have no power. the military comes and beats us up and nothing is done about it. in the end we're better off dying.
9:48 am
they are terrorists armed with rifles and dynamite. they have a stablished a reign of terror. thinking that the government will continue to put up with them. they won't have their way sars the anarchy is over the party is over we will apply the law order for the well being of ecuadorians i will not hesitate. the cause is a revolt by the area's residents who put
9:49 am
a barricades and closed the road scooting to nikko cooke oil drilling plants one of the country's largest oil fields. i didn't talk to her of course i thought that they entered their houses violently and dragged people out of their homes. one of the other them hands up for you said everyone on the fluor women and children when they put a cut on us and they grabbed us from behind and started pushing us and dragging us and then i told them why are you doing this reality i think you must have all of
9:50 am
them. and for us in a room they punched me kicks me. when they were finished with me they threw me to the floor they grabbed me by the fades and threw me head first i think it was like i was a football you know i don't talk about them they threw some top of another with i think they used to throw gas but they beat us everywhere all the time they trampled me and when i looked like this i couldn't even see because of all the soldiers. maybe. you can see the grounds there were for over five hundred soldiers and then i said what have i done but all these people done for you to beat them like let's. beat first of all i cannot allow a group of vandals and terrorists traitors of their own country to still look bread of ecuadorians and do such things. which most of them are paid murderers
9:51 am
terrorists who welcomed the security forces with the bullets and dynamite the security forces had to react and there are photos in the media of the presumably show there was violent treatment that was not the case they had to defend themselves because they were being attacked. they took them to jail and kept them in for three to four months saying they were terrorists but look here this is a terrorist act committed by petroecuador against nature. not the us and them with already nine pipes go through here from nine carrying large quantities of oil and only leave us is a crude oil spilled in our communities but not money and things that get.
9:52 am
in and got. out of them pulls out it in our case whether our government is left wing or right wing we always receive the same violent repression it gets because we live in an. producing area where natural resources are exploited you know but nothing is invested here. i mean you can attach a red. cross a mile range from i'd be concerned about you're going to be in the end of the failover here look at the daily the girl.
