live from our studios here in central moscow this is our t.v. the twenty four hours a day top stories now whistle blow winded by verdict the high court in london rules the we can expand the julian assange should be tried in sweden over controversial sex crime allegations. results of the investigation into september's plane crash that killed a russian hockey team plane pilot error as the cause and speak of traces of a strong sedative in the co-pilot's blood. a sense of disillusionment dominates the protests ahead of the g. twenty summit in cannes as world leaders gather to contain the global financial mayhem in the greek announcement of

a referendum on the euro zone's risky deal has only fuel the flames. i'll be back with more stories more news in less than half an hour from now in the meantime the great green threat yes we take a look at the radical environmentalist groups that will go to any length to support their cause that's in the first part of our special report eco warriors stay with us right here on r.t. . yes so if that's what you hear that's where exactly he is right ok how about. if. we're given a warning to the oriental bluebird that they were violating the antarctic whale

sanctuary very few to comply with morning so we delivered a serious blow to the order to pay for. a 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 is 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. what governments and big business have been doing is extremely destructive and it seems silly to me it's you 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 the necessity to do these things. would be 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. is it right. to invest things have to change i'm going to take action

instead awaiting passively and otherwise change will happen. if we reach a certain critical mass. and many of us act together we can change the world.

this is my food supply what i want is the police corner i was up here it's not for a few days my all out one so no we won't need it on the computer. we occupied the cheese to propound bottom file from cutting them down. it worked clearing the forests so they could lay pipe to the coal plants they're building in the industrial part of town you'll see everything so it was agreed to particularly to sabotage the corporation and supreme process to an urban area with a special called an idea. it kill it's imply nickname square zero zero.

zero zero zero zero. zero zero seven offered i've never dismantled a platform usually the cops do it when the effect is from the trees. but. i just want it 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 no hearings were held like that i don't need a piece of paper saying what they did was illegal once it's done the paper is useless but i want to stop terms of this office and process.

i've been taking direct action for about ten years that precluded look at first of course street theater then i took action against consumerism taking billboards. well always be mccloy weren't so one day i decided to combine favorite 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 down and it's about fifteen kilometers you know mad then it's another twenty by road to the future nuclear waste disposal site when i thought rees no a temporary site trains loaded with nuclear waste is wrong on this line here. alan actually surprise is the key to a successful action. jump over the fence. but

. i don't want to go. one two three four five six seven. let us on this seventy five seventy six seventy seven i can't summon to seven officers plus those over there but i do not think there's a crowd on the bridge that's about twenty five per person that's what they need to draw the nuclear train for even as you probably already know i remain passive and never cut anything or destroy anything. i obviously don't have an on off switch to start all nuclear construction over

night for fun although they say i'm going custody we stand by tiny step we're making our dreams come true. see the contacts. to this is silly conta has sixteen sponsors. take us on of the oil one at 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 has them to work on it's a meeting of people who can give money because they approve from the actions of my daughter they can't do it themselves thanks to this financial support sil can do her thing called and independently of each other and.

sussan. and. the vision of some defect in direct action you commit to face in the legal consequences so when i think over the rails for a few hours and they bring me to trial. for trespassing or whatever i can't say no that wasn't me i don't want to be seen apart actions are for everybody to see and i

do not hide. that i've never done jail time but i've been fined for what i've done to french and german law they are minor infractions they don't go on my criminal record. as a prison one is a felony these are the cases i have 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 hunger and people climb on the roof of the courthouse while i'm often down that. agent in action like about gives us more press the longer we talk to reporters about issues like exporting nuclear waste of how bad g.m. always are weary each to arrange our grievance like all the politicians say.

we're 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 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 farm. live.

the forest here was cut down about five years ago that's what mostly green dams land looks like is really small scrubby trees and brush. can't. see all the 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. first is the movement never part of. one of the main mottos of first is no

compromise in the defense of mother earth. i want 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 . we're here to protect the ecosystems that we rely on for survival and really that everyone on this earth relies on because these trees so have huge amounts of carbon at the atmosphere and 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 live for so long in iraq resistant that they store just massive in massive amounts of carbon dioxide.

we got all the supplies you asked for i brought some hot. farmer has been planted. and he's pretty. like an inchworm. who is great to be out 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 pierced. to

make it for the last few days. i'm going to make chocolate cake. chocolate chip coconut in a butter top and i. hope 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. or breaking the law but they're breaking the rules you know like they're breaking my heart on the one hand and like the spirit it's like so much more heinous.

trespassing illegal camping building a better. the survival of these ecosystems rely on people of conscience taking a stand but since bush took office. the level of involvement with earth first and with civil disobedience to defend the forest is severely declined and they 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. there were other ways. to do it is just i. was. something. i. think that 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 off a hill and dislocated his pelvis. are you going to. put on my chemical a. call early still or no i think one of my everything. i i.

was. doing there was. was shortly after i was involved. the police and humble county started pepper spraying helpless people who were locked to each other and then dipping q-tips into it and then dabbing people's eyes with it they didn't really. want to. know. this was just for trespassing refusing to leave nothing more. and for us environmental activist admits his part in torching trucks and two eco terrorist attacks has sent him six and a half years in prison sitting for eleven days on a ledge acquittance federal building in two thousand and nine. trade

who was born michael starr puti talked a lot about saving forests but he wouldn't admit he was among the arsonist who the following year for a short logging trucks nearest to keda and trucks at portland's ross island sand and gravel now he hands. 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 that you go creek and they still were trying to kill those trees i 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 in and. disrespecting our earth mother if they render that piece of equipment useless i don't consider that violent then the less 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 that 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 the u.s. government because of my political ideology and as a consequence the government has labeled me as

a terrorist. arson is a serious crime but also 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 terrorism. and they're going to go. so it was written. in one system it's just all parties it's all of them and. we all and i think you and your best that we can support people that are that are being targeted by the government. that. time.

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 where with eco terrorism which they knocked down some radio towers of the some fires and some buildings is not new i mean it's been going on for about twenty twenty five years and censors been eco terrorist before there was even islamic fundamentalist terrorist in this country

there was a terrorist in the school system of this country so it's been going on for a while now is it you know obviously i think kill people like al qaeda has not. happened and we understand that and that's a good thing i think that's a really good thing. in this country patriot act is really messed up and obviously people doing even nonviolent activist work can be considered terrorists. you know i don't want to be. just 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 war like they're going to protect their interests their power and profits

at all costs just need to work on ways. you know you don't get caught or something and how. sure is the free market maybe you should be. more used to so there's the rest of the world please fix this we hold the first election of the arab spring with an islamic party. on. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the walls survey of. ladies and gentlemen your chance to choose is a good book for example the status of the human experiments gets to go with after

thirty weeks you approach this in this rap music that would expose the basilica trying to censor global economy and its arcane claims about financial temple each of the research family to maintain a confidence in hmong kids and taking on the script it's going to be seems way to balance his recession look even the nation's close to collapsing of supply flowing foreclosed homes. to bail slip ole banks again feel a little like these us crash and imminent smash the ceiling seeing flames is a play call to the judges in athens freaks the i.m.f. spokesman on just programs increase the total economy. the. oceans would be soo much brighter than if you live out song from funds to crash and

it's. nice to start on t.v. don't come.
