the latest news on the week's top stories on our team greece is a debt drama leaves its prime minister fighting for his job struggling to form a new community government but eurozone leaders together on one thing saving the euro with or without creates. american protests is about to keep running for the greek presidency corporate general spread across the country that's despite scores of arrests and what see there's only tough policing. russian businessmen think to boot faces and life behind bars in the u.s.

often convicted of selling weapons to terrorist groups conspiring to kill americans and denies all the charges against him he'll. have a mission to mars comes close to reality i must go. down and it's not going to could enjoy the isolation of a long flight to the red planet. next part one of a special report into the eco warriors seemingly stop at nothing to protect the planet. yes so if that's not me. that's where exactly is right ok.

we're giving a warning to the oriental blooper that they were violating the n.p.t. we'll sanctuary there if you comply with morning so we delivered a serious blow to them in order to feed. their walk up 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 it is a war. 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 the 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. not for political purposes. is it better. to just invest things have to change i want to take action instead awaiting passively otherwise change will happen before we reach a certain critical mass. and many of us act together we can change the world.

this is my food supply oh well what if the police corner i was up here it's not for a few days my own ugly one so no won't need it no no computer. we occupied the cheese to profound thoughts and child from cutting them down. it worked clearing the forests so they could lay pipe to the coal plants they are building in the industrial part of town you'll see the food so it was agreed to particularly just so much emotion

a corporation and supreme protest in an urban area with a special called an idea. it killed my seven finding names square zero. zero. one up i've never dismantled a platform usually the cops do it when the effect is from the trees. but i'm not one 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 because people no hearings were held. by when i don't need a piece of paper saying what they did was illegal once it's done the paper is useless i want to stop firms of this office and us out that's.

been taking direct action for about ten years. at first it was street theater then i took action against him series i'm taking billboards. well always being a client 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 to dawn and bad spots have to implement there was no matter it's another twenty by road to the future nuclear waste disposal site one of the reason a temporary site trains loaded with nuclear waste is wrong on this line here.

but actually surprise is the key to a successful action. jump over the fans. but . i don't want to go. one two three four five six. let alone this seventy five seventy six seventy seven i can't so much as seven officers plus those over there is a crowd on the bridge that's about trying to five per person that's what they need to drive 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 on nuclear construction over night or field although. they say i'm going to be stamped by tiny step we're making our dreams come true. see the contracts since i finished saying this is silly conta has sixteen sponsors . so you've got on of this or one at each one gives ten twenty thirty euros a month which adds up to three hundred fifty year olds. still has unusual talents and it was the true word when it's a meeting of people who can give money because they approve of her actions and i

did or they can't do it themselves and it's been just thanks to this financial support sil can do her thing called and independently of each other and. sussan. and a few. little food left on direct or indirect action we commit to face and 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. i'm never done jail time but i've been fined under french and german law they are minor infractions they don't go on my criminal record yeah pacifism was a felony these are the cases i have pending i just 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 that. stage an inaction like that keeps us more press longer we talk to reporters about issues like exporting nuclear waste how bad g.m. owners are we each arrange our grievance i thought the politicians they.

were surrounded by the forest up 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 standing it to a maximum of forty five or fifty years it's not a forest at all it's just a tree farm. live. live.

thank you. the first year was cut down about five years ago with but mostly green damage 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 versus the movement that we're part of. one of the main mottos of first is no compromise in the defense of mother earth. we want them to stop clear cutting we want them to stop using herbicides want them to not log on steep an unstable hillsides where they cause a lot of erosion and landslides and they wanted to not do any more or growth ever. were here to protect the ecosystems that we rely on for survival and really that everyone on this earth relies on because these trees so huge amounts of carbon are 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

move 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's been climbing. he's pretty. like an inchworm. who is great to be out here. apples. thank you rick.

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 piss. to make it for the last few days. i'm going to make a chocolate cake with chocolate. and coke and you know 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.

we're breaking the law but they're breaking the rules you know would be breaking the law of the heart on the one hand and like the spirit like it's like so much more heinous. trespassing illegal country building a barrier to. 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 forests has 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. if you wish the other.

option. was. i. think that we have to remember that it's not just a game because and what they call the chembur 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 call my number to leave. call early still

or no i have a minimum i never understand that 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 indebting people's eyes with it really. want to. you know really 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 his sentence six and a half years in prison sitting for a live in days on a ledge acquittance federal building in two thousand and nine. trade 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 culture a short logging trucks near us to qaeda and truck supporters was silenced sand and gravel now he hands. i was incarcerated for almost six years including a 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 i what i did with my own body and my actions i rode blockades in 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 is navalny 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 good it is not terrorism. i was already feeling i. suppose i was present. in the system it's just all politics it's all about and. we all. i think you are best that we can support people that are that are being targeted by the government

. found. that it's. time. now 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 of washington state i think it was will be eco terrorism which really

knocked down some radio towers of the some fires of some buildings is not new i mean it's been going on for about twenty twenty five years and sensors 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 off for a while now is it you know obviously i think killed people like al qaeda has not. happened and we understand that and that's a good thing ok that's a really good. in this country patriot act is really messed up and obviously people doing even nonviolent activist work can be considered terrorists and you know 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 war like they're going to protect their interests their power and profits at all costs just need to work on ways where you know you don't get caught or something.

ah. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on wall street straight they have to. lead is intensifying your chance of a chance to set a good book for example the status of the human experiment to get people with. your problems business rap music would expose the ability trying to censor local economies and its arcane things as financial templates each of the releases damaging to maintain our confidence in markets and thinking on the trip to wants to be seen trade imbalances recession looks to be nations close to collapsing

a subprime loan foreclosed homes. something else we call a bad think and feel level i think is us crash and seven and smash the ceiling it seems is it like cause it just isn't enough and free for the construction to come just programs increase that's what economists.
