now i hear a mosque a distance i don't see a cause of cracking down the rises for some stiff sentences but here in rights groups accuse judges of overreacting by dishing out severe penalties indiscriminately to young men who've been given a four year sentence of posting a joke message on facebook calling for people to tell them we're being leaders and the us issues strong statements calling on syria's president assad to step down just as he announces a hates to all military operations in the country on the un is preparing to call

all new international criminal court to investigate the regime's useful crackdown on protesters. israel launches their strike in gaza killing at least six in the tummy h. and four string of deadly shoot out in the south of the country israeli officials have blamed palestinian militants for the triple attack earlier that rocked these radio gyptian. the most scary regions biannual international air show continues in the air about displays in the skies a new credit deals being signed on the ground. now we see how you can story of the warriors who put themselves along to protect the world's environment special report coming up next. yes so. that's the key question here that's where exactly he is right ok.

we're giving a warning to the oriental blooper that they are violating the emperor and he will sanction very very few to comply with morning so we delivered a serious blow to the order to pay for. the walk down the street see a child being abused and do nothing you don't stand there and watch whales die and hold the banner and do nothing. our oceans are dying we've already removed ninety percent of the fish from the oceans and we're continuing to exploit them i don't believe in protest to me protesting this submissive it's like please please please don't do that and they do it anyway you know it's a grovelling you know we shouldn't be protesting we should be intervening.

is a battle is a war and what governments and big business have been doing is extremely destructive and it seems silly to me to think of it as not a war and something that we should fight back against i don't like setting things on fire i don't like sneaking around at night wearing a ski mask crawling underneath cars i don't like it i don't like sitting in a tree two hundred feet up in the air risking my life but i feel a necessity to do these things.

but being an eco warrior means to me is. doing all you can to defend the earth. it can be hard because a lot of people think you should never break the law or at least for political purposes. visit. to just invest things have to change i want to take action instead of waiting passively otherwise change will happen before you reach a certain critical mass. and many of us act together we can change the world.

there's a little bit this is my food supply what i want is the police corner i was up here but it's not for a few days you might only have one so no we won't need it. we occupied the cheese to prevent rotten child from cutting them down places they were

clearing the forests or they could lay pipe that's actually a coal plant they're building in the industrial part of town you'll see the thing so it was agreed upon to sabotage the corporation and to bring our process to an urban area and put us national killed over. it killed by its own finding names square zero. point. zero zero. zero. seven africa i've never dismantled a platform usually the cops do it when the effect is from the trees. to three months for the courts to issue an injunction stopping work due to a normal lease in the permit granting process in normal e was that no one asked people how hearings were held. like i don't need a piece of paper saying what they did was illegal well i once it's done the paper

is useless i want to stop from a service officer process. i've been taking direct action for about ten years. at first it was street theater then i took action against consumerism taking billboards. well i've always been a climber and so one day i decided to combine activism with climbing i like the way it works so i carried on i combine my hobby and my political commitment. this rail line goes to dawn and aboard that spot for ten

kilometers you don't matter then it's another twenty by road to the future nuclear waste disposal site there one out there is no a temporary site trains loaded with nuclear waste wrong on this line on their. own actually surprise is the key to a successful action. jump over the fans. only called. one two three four five six. let us a little seventy five seventy six seventy seven i can't so much as seven officers

plus those over there not that there's a crowd on the bridge but it's about trying to five per person that's what they need to drive the nuclear train for even as you probably already now i remain passive and have a cup anything or destroy anything. if you look as if i obviously don't have an on off switch to start on nuclear construction overnight. although they say i'm going custody he stand by tiny step we're making our dreams come true. to see the contacts since i think today this is silly conta has sixteen sponsors. take us on of this or why not each one gives ten twenty thirty euros a month which adds up to three hundred and fifty year olds isis or isil has unusual

talents and cause them true or our it's a meeting of people who can give money because they approve from the actions i did or they can't do with themselves from the banks to this financial support sil can do her thing called and independently of each other and. sussan. and.

of if it looks from direct or indirect action you commit to face and the legal consequences so when i think over the rails for a few hours they bring me to try. well for trespassing or whatever i can't say no that wasn't me i don't want to be seen none of the current actions are for everybody to see and i do not hide. that i'm never done jail time is what i've been fined under french and german law they are minor infractions they don't go on my criminal record. is a lie as i follow these are the cases i have pending filed according to time the trial is part of the action at the courthouse a lot of other things are going on there are demonstrations and there is a hung and people climb on the roof of the courthouse while i'm often down by. agent in action like that gives us more press we talk to reporters about issues

like exporting nuclear waste how bad g.m.o. foods are where you eat a range our grievance give us a call to apologise and say. you .

were surrounded by the forest here. the green diamond resource company is the largest redwood landowner the largest single redwood landowner and they have about four hundred thirty thousand acres which is far bigger than any of the parks. their target age their age they want to clear cut this forty five years old and now that's just pretty much tree farming these trees can grow to be thousands of years old so when you're just continually stunting it to a maximum of forty five or fifty years it's not a forest at all it's just a tree for.

live. live. live. thank you. the forest here was cut down about five years ago that's what most a green dam is land looks like is really small scrubby trees and brush. kept. the old tree is i think it's about seventy we don't really recognize their right to claim ownership of this land when

all they're doing is exploiting it. is the movement they were part of. one of the main mottos of first is no compromise in the defense of mother earth. brought them to stop clear cutting we want them to start using herbicides want them to not log on steep an unstable hillsides where they cause a lot of erosion and landslides and we want them to not cut anymore or growth ever . right here to protect the ecosystems that we rely on to preserve viable and really that everyone on this earth relies on because these trees so have huge amounts of carbon at the

atmosphere and if this forest was allowed to grow to its full potential it would greatly reduce the impacts of climate change because these trees get so huge and lived for so long in iraq resistant that they stored just massive in massive amounts of carbon dioxide. we got all the supplies you asked for i brought some hearts. from has been planted. and he's pretty. like an inch worm that ninety feet up who agreed to be up here. apples.

if you. in one campaign in the one nine hundred ninety s. there was a tree sitter who. was unable to get food or water for three days because there were security guards posted under his tree and he had to drink his own just. to make it for the last few days. i'm going to make chocolate cake with chocolate. and coke and in a better top you know. hopefully it will be great. but it's not really about like lifestyle choices it's about taking action against.

the corporations that are destroying the earth. we're breaking the law good they're breaking the rules and you know it would be breaking my heart and would land on my spirit like it's like so much more heinous. trespassing illegal camping building a barrier to. the survival of these ecosystems rely on people of conscience taking a stand but since bush took office on. the level of involvement with earth first and with civil disobedience to defend the forests is severely declined and there used to be hundreds if not thousands of people who would come to humboldt county yearly to defend the redwoods during logging season and now we're lucky to

have twenty. it was the other way. to do it it is just i. was. i. we have to remember that it's not just a game because and what they call the temper wars appear people have been seriously injured and killed and friends of mine have been chased through the woods and been chased off of steep hills and one of them had to be airlifted out of a remote area because he was just up the hill and dislocated his pelvis.

are you going. to do all my employees. fulfill still or know that i'm going to lie everything. i. was. doing there was never. was shortly after i was involved. the police in humble county started pepper spraying helpless people who were locked to each other and then dipping q-tips into it indebting people's eyes with it didn't really. want to get out i you know really this was just for trespassing refusing to leave

nothing more. i don't worry it's environmental activist admits his part in torching trucks until eco terrorist attacks his sentence six and a half years in prison sitting through eleven days on a ledge of cordons federal building in two thousand and nine. train hero who was born michael scorpion he talked a lot about saving forests but he wouldn't admit he was among the arsonist who the following year portray short logging trucks near us to keda and trucks at portland's ross island sand and gravel now he hams.

i was incarcerated for almost six years including the halfway house and home confinement time. i had done everything that i knew i could to help save those trees at hugo creek and they still were trying to kill those trees i'd done everything that i knew i could buy what i didn't purchase by what i did with my own body and my actions by road blockades and tree sits and they still were pushing forward with that sale and so i thought a bit of desperation well i don't consider arson violent personally if someone renders an enum an object that is pillaging the planet and and in. disrespecting our earth mother if they render that piece of equipment useless i don't consider that violent and unless i'm not advocating any one thing i just. encourage people to do something i have to send this form to

my probation officer every month to let him know what i've been doing for the month and i'm not causing any problems. starting this past december so it's set for to go on for two and a half more years i have been targeted by the f.b.i. and u.s. government because of my political ideology and as a consequence the government is labeled me as a terrorist. arson is a serious crime but although it is certainly a far cry from nonviolent civil disobedience it is not terrorism it's property crime it's sabotage or it's arson but it is not care or isn't. they're going to feel ok. so the whole time i was present.

in the system is that it's all about money. we all eat you might hear you and your best that we can support people that are that are being carried by the. sounds. that it's. time to. not particular regard of climate change there's certainly an eco terrorist threat

because we've had incidences recently and in the west coast there was some incidents in washington state i think it was with echo terrorism which really knocked down some radio towers and they set fire to some buildings is not new i mean it's been going on for about twenty twenty five years uncensored eco terrorist before there was even islamic fundamentalist terrorist in this country there was a terrorist in this criticism of this country so it's been going on for a while now is it you know obviously have they killed people like al qaeda has not ok they haven't and we understand that and that's a good thing ok that's a really quick. in this country patriot act is really messed up and obviously people doing even nonviolent activist work can be considered terrorists. that's

all i don't want to be on the terrorist watch list just for speaking my my opinions it is a battle it is a war what governments and big business have been doing is extremely destructive it's a fucking or like they're going to protect their interests their power and profits at all costs i just need to work on ways where. you know ok carl rochelle thank you up. close all. over. each other a lot tom our team. to the march air show.

is going to. be the best. in the.
