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 steph occasions 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 is 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. for me all this is a tragedy. and this is 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 rage against those shameless people who really don't feel the pain of the people that's going to get up but they have only beautiful v. 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.

your friends hound ok if that be seen the thought of yet maybe they moved to this house thinking that the toxic pit had been cleaned out they had been told that a good job on both them or. 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 i mean tonight on mars. but everything these people say is a lie but i'm trying to defend the company it's just old lice everything they do is based on lies slander and economic profit.

7:37 pm
this is the biggest environmental trial in world history he's been held until to be you know a well known provincial town off while the augury old were told to get. i think. mr efraim novio is the. 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. 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 so we're.
7:38 pm
going to bring this forward to force this american company to stand trial as a huge huge. hasn't been done before in a so-called third world country. this may. have been fifteen years i mean i've literally grown up and grown old market was curious 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 sherrard i mean they basically pay lawyers to delay as much as they possibly care because they know when the final decision curves 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 give well you can prove that one particular case of cancer
7:39 pm
was specifically caused by texaco he's not 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 any environmental regulation the history of the world so that's real money even to an oil company i mean sixteen billion dollars is almost. when your when your profits of show. 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 are asking for well we're talking about an expert to prevent the damage just claims that the sole responsible party is
7:40 pm
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 contrave had 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
7:41 pm
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 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. 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 owned company of anything. in the past eighteen years of course the state company has done many things. it does cause damage and spills it all into some clear text of its guilt.
7:42 pm
7:43 pm
that 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 put to a quad core and they don't care they say there are no leaks they say there was no problem on. the.
7:44 pm
7:45 pm
their thing and bought it what do you think it in like one power over they claimed there was no pollution here. to pour up it that way 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. and i think it is at the moment they don't care about other people's lives. get it in here in san carlos and many have died from cancer caused by pollution of. the and. eighteen twenty year old girls have died leaving orphans behind. and two of us have cancer my daughter and i.
7:46 pm
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 would mean you don't know what. however it will drilling cannot stop. but why
7:47 pm
because our country has needs social needs. despite its mineral wealth ecuador is one of the poorest countries over it and america would then unbearable external to that which was 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. yeah 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.
7:48 pm
the state is always talking of development of a better life. that is why oil companies drill oil every day. 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 and the better if you go into the places where petroecuador operates it's
7:49 pm
like going to hell of thousand times what i think about these people are ruthless and they care about nobody. and that's in one thousand nine hundred seventy 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. when i went to petroecuador to protest they insulted my mother and told me to get out of here treated me in an awful way that meant there was nothing i could do .
7:50 pm
but we peasants have no power. but 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 i. they are terrorists armed with rifles 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
7:51 pm
7:52 pm
and i have been trying to place the group that they entered the houses of violently and dragged people out of their homes. and. one of the. 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. the person to 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 a thing they used to throw gas but they beat us everywhere all the time they
7:53 pm
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 easy to 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. 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.
7:54 pm
and of their own personal freedom and they took them to jail and kept them in for three to four months saying they were terrorists but look here and this is the terrorist act committed by petroecuador against nature. with already nine pipes go through here from nine zero l. wells carrying large quantities of oil and only leave us is a crude oil spill to our communities but not money little things that get. in and got. out of them pulls out it in our case whether our government is left
7:55 pm
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. a i can't manage the and. say my name from a conversation by asking me the greatest thing in the end i fail to appreciate life a lot of the same. it.
