but for most of this is a t. is kevin know any of this with a headline update for you with almost all the votes counted in russia's parliamentary election now thousands take to the center of moscow to voice their feelings about the people both for and against the ruling party of staging massive rallies with around three hundred people already today. russia slams washington for quote unacceptable remarks on the parliamentary poll results and says it's not for washington to lecture others about how to build a perfect electoral system. and the euro faces its biggest threat yet says member

states will they may have their credit ratings downgraded let's announcement to send global markets reeling says the e.u. leaders for a pair last ditch attempt to save the trouble currency at a meeting in brussels on thursday. also fukushima fallout tons of radioactive water leaked from a japanese nuclear power plant that was hit by the earthquake in march but if it is the toxic fluid could have spilled now to the pacific ocean over the weekend. up next a special report about the ecuadorian amazon we're not sure diversity in indigenous people to slowly disappearing is oil companies push profits. why do you believe the locals were affected by cancer when it's letters.

hygiene conditions are terrible actually all the drinking water in eastern ecuador is. we have analysis results that show the water contains excrement residues meaning that it comes from the native stepha cations that is what causes cancer and all other illnesses if you constantly drink water with feces that it since you were a child let's see if that doesn't cause you some serious illness. and all of stomach cancer is definitely. another cause of cancer is the lack of protection. against sexual relations around the age 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 that they are responsible for what my family and all of us who live in amazonia are going through. 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 because of living in that town without knowing where to go i have a lot of bring against those shameless people who really don't feel the pain of the people that's looking to get up but they have only beautiful view 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.

that. everything. was ok. with me and you can see the oil more clearly here that i'm in there in my soul this is oil and there's even more. the deeper i dig the more i will find you know what i am but when to. be seen the thought of yet i mean they moved to this house thinking that the toxic pit had been cleaned out they had been told that a good job been don't know what i want to hear more. when it is very hot oil

produces gases in the soil yes with it and then the residents absorb it. look it all is clear is the only thing texaco really did here he is stone smeared in the woods to cover up everything. absolutely nothing else. myself to look them in tonight on mars. these people say it's a lie that i'm trying to defend the company it's just old lice 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 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 he's been held until to be you know a well known provincial town of og rio we're told he yeah. i think. mr efraim novio is the judge. number of documents in this case. comes to some one hundred forty two thousand pages and then this will really have a whole library here but it that. you know i believe that for the participants it is a stoic moment that he's done for us however it's just another trial. we're. going to bring this forward to force this american company to stand trial as a future it's hasn't been done before in a so-called third world country never you know there. have

been fifteen years i mean i've literally grown up and grown old workgroups queries and there is a scenario where it could go on another five or ten years because of what i would call a complete abuse of the judicial process by sharing i mean they basically pay lawyers to delay as much as they possibly care because they know when the final decision curran's the chances are very very high that they're going to lose this case and lose it on a massive scale they waste that he said you know i will get i must sometimes mr lawyer prove to me that this person has died of cancer caused by texaco oil the point is they will not get well you cannot prove that one particular case of cancer was specifically caused by texaco use keys with but and who had been operating here for over twenty years in the same way that you look at the same ones who had caused

the destruction texaco. that would make. most of the highest level damages are there any environmental regulation the history of the world so that's real money even to an oil company every sixteen billion dollars is almost. when your when your profits of show or. a 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 if billion or sixteen billion or let them name whatever some they are asking for we are talking about an expert to prevent 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

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. 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 who look as if they were interested in people's health and in nature then why are they doing nothing against petroecuador . why only against the multinational 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. i guess if we don't do it well it will be their strategy is simple they left ecuador in one thousand nine hundred two. we only began the trial in the us in one thousand nine hundred three when they couldn't accuse the state owned company of anything. in the past eighteen years of course the state company has done many things. that is cause damage and spills it all into some clear text of its guilt.

made minced to the plant nearby and then it happened they forgot to turn off a valve. that they're always spills one every month. yeah yeah. better look. better ecuador says it's not responsible for the spill caused here but is what petroecuador says and just leave things as they are. feeling. the water is polluted our workers

and why do you wash your clothes here on can not afford to do me a favor we have nowhere else to wash them this is the only creek and this is where all of us who live here come feed of the family there are always cool spills from oil well nine from four from say new blanca there are three or wells that cause the spills into the stream we go to a quad core and they don't care they say there are no leaks they say there was no problem i don't. believe.

it's good but they don't and this is a will. they run it from the plant spills they end up in a property. and not up up into. their thing about it what do you think it in like one power over they claimed there was no pollution here. for up at work it is pure oil.

if in a bar they say they will clean up and there will be no pollution or live on how well 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. wanted him to intervene on and they don't care about other people's lives. or get it in here in san carlos and many have died from cancer caused by pollution of guns at the end. eighteen twenty year old girls have died leaving orphans behind. and two of us have cancer my daughter and i.

are. 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 citizens. and it must rest of the environmental and social damage caused upon them from living in oil producing areas. but i mean you don't know what. however it will drilling cannot stop. but why because our country has needs social needs. despite

its mineral wealth ecuador is one of the poorest countries over it and america well then unbearable external debt which is seventeen point five billion dollars. in the past corrupt governments used oil income for the enrichment of the few. producing areas were left 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 take our oil and pollute us every day. we have no phone lines or electricity. the state is always talking of development of a better life. that is why oil companies drill oil

every day we. but they don't care about us. they only know how to pollute us in the name of development they only think of themselves. you know the better if you go into the places where petro ecuador operates it's like going to hell off hours and times what i think about these people are ruthless they care about nobody.

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 we went there one day i went to work in a road construction and when i returned i found over five tractors destroying my farm and. when i went to petroecuador to protest they insulted my mother and told me to get out of here he treated me in an awful way that meant there was nothing i could do. but we peasants have no power. but about the military comes in and beats us up and nothing is done about it. in the end we're better off dying.

i. i i i i i. they are terrorists armed with dry falls and dynamite. but we want to make sure they have a stablished a reign of terror. thinking that the government will continue to put up with them so i do believe that. 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.

because he's a revolt by the areas residents who put a barricades and closed the roads clipping to the oil drilling plants one of the country's largest oil fields. and until it is in trouble what is the group that they enter the houses of

violently and drag people out of their homes. one of the room hands up everyone on the floor women and children. they grabbed us from behind and started pushing us and dragging us then i told them why are you doing this. i think almost all of them. in person whom they punched me kicks me. when they were finished with me they threw me to the floor they grabbed me by the feet and threw me head first it was like i was a football. they threw us on top of another with the thing 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. but. you couldn't see the

ground they were for over five hundred soldiers then i said what have i done but all these people done for you to beat them like better. was pretty beat first of all i cannot allow a group of vandals and terrorists traitors of their own country to still look brand of ecuadorians and do such things. like that which most of them are paid murderers terrorists who welcome the security forces with bullets and dynamite to make up the new 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. and of their own personal freedom they took them to jail and kept them in for three to four months saying they were terrorists it is the look here and this is the

terrorist act committed by petroecuador against nature. not the idea but some of them with already nine pipes go through here from nine o.l. wells carrying large quantities of oil and only leave us is the crude oil spills in our communities but they are not money in the community as it gets. in and got. out of them pulls out it in our case whether our government is left wing or right wing but we always receive the same violent repression it gets because we live in an oil producing area where natural resources are exploited in

us but nothing is invested here. and i can jail a man and. say my name and romantic i was paid by you to make the base pay me and i fail appreciated like a lot of the same. it. that.
