welcome back you're watching our t.v. live from moscow and here is a look at the latest news and the week's top stories that mass protests in golfing russia in the aftermath of the parliamentary election past moodily despite predictions of violence and allegations of provocation. the euro limps to see another day leaders agree on sanctions politics despite a british veto against any changes that would place the e.u. financial reins firmly in the hands of brussels. also washington's ride to extradite people from the u.k.

without offering evidence of the or guilty leave british m.p.'s to call for the abolition of a controversial treaty. coming up next is a story of profits before hundreds of lives that's part two of our special report on the oil companies destroying the indigenous population and nature of the amazon . 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 those 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 room against those shameless people who really don't feel the pain of the people that's when things get out 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. that. everything. was ok. with it and you can see

the oil more clearly here that i'm in the 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. the enemy they moved to this house thinking that the toxic pit had been cleaned out they had been told that a good job on both and 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. the woods to cover up everything. absolutely nothing else.

myself to look i mean 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 off while go grio 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 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 huge huge. hasn't been done before in a so-called third world country. who. have been fifteen years i mean i've literally grown up and grown old work rules careers 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 sharon i mean they basically pay lawyers

to delay as much as they possibly care because they know when the final decision kerman's the chances are very very high that they're going to lose this case and lose it on a massive scale they molested him he said you know i know it must sometimes mr lawyer prove to me that this person has died of cancer caused by texaco oil the put is there well you can't prove that one particular case of cancer 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. there with. 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 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 texaco but he forgets the petroecuador has been operating here for twenty years. state owned better ecuador was the want to inherit all texaco facilities and infrastructure as soon as the company left the country afterwards contract 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 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. 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. has caused 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 there always spills one every month yeah. yeah. but i don't know. petroecuador says it's not responsible for the spill caused here that is what petroecuador says and just leaves things as they are. feeling. the water is polluted our workers and why do you wash your clothes here on them not for you 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 the damage 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 on. the. leak.

is good but they don't and this is a will. live on it from the plant spills they end up in a property. and not up up into. their thing and bought a body think it in like one power over they claim 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. wanted infinitesimal and 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. went to 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 be you don't want to. believe however it will drilling cannot stop me. but why 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. 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 of thousand times and 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 he treated me in an awful way that meant there was nothing i could do. 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. 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 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 i am trying to close the group that they entered the houses of violently and dragged people out of their homes. 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. 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. 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. that which most of them are paid murderers terrorists who welcome the security forces with the 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. from of their own personal freedom though three 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. not the idea but i'm done with already nine pipes go through here from nine or a wells carrying large quantities of oil and only leave us is the crude oil spills in 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 a 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. hey i can just ran man and. say my name wrong i had a conversation about your pain is the greatest thing in the end i fail appreciate

it i hate the day day the. if. that.

please.

twenty years ago the largest country in the. disintegration of. what had been. each began a journey. where did it take them.
