special developing atomic bomb. and millions of wiki p.d.f. users hitting this brick wall right now the world's most popular online encyclopedia is on a twenty four hour shut in protest of american anti piracy so this seems a threat to internet when. next we take you to nigeria a nation rich in oil but words people suffer violence terrorism and poverty. but the best is yet to be seen lost in the brush just a few meters away that's a compensation for. a community you know as a composition to them for the boy they came from this place obasanjo the former president of nigeria in march two thousand and one promised that if i got a manager it was a beaut. research institute he hear the foundations to me and i walk was supposed to commence to follow him much well that's respect this is the
3:32 pm
only institute. i listen to this this is the oil and gas research institute in nigeria yes that's a good resource so you can come out to do research if you want to come here it will be you see a lot just. inside you do your research this is and this was lit by the president not an artist and not a minister president of the federal republican idea. that is what we have. but it would not give up the. port harcourt three million inhabitants the principal city of the delta and growing exponentially its contracts like the nigerians who work on the platforms often live here when they're ashore. we're in the car of patrick i utah and we met on the
3:33 pm
f.p.s. so. he said of the control room a major post two weeks at sea two weeks ashore he suggested that we stop to visit his home just now patrick is off to fetch his children from school. normally would gone out for a drive but you don't know it's difficult for you to trust somebody here because it was over how to love those stories where by. the boy you are employed. or drive your house needs they could live with could not nor that it. will for a fair a struct and one other school everyone tries to parks close a possible maximum security cars even drive into the playground patrick actually goes into each classroom to fetch his three children one by one initially when he started it was that it was the it was the espace that he could not by the way take care but after these no more the b.s.
3:34 pm
spotted about fire and they had a good accommodation on and had an exclusive body in one theory as an all lay that's so you'll have to. prove your kind and the how you try to provide security for itself. just as a very careful one to see how you can take care of yourself i know if i'm going to i don't go this way and it is known as a strict. don't go anywhere. just needs to know it's a look around the people of the bar and you are no that's. started just show. you some numbers that we arrive at the house a super secure is a little fortress but outside and inside. is the same
3:35 pm
for so from you know your guide see look through this who is that he is that if anything is going on you are yet to see all the doors he already does i was here with a new. life. or here we see your lie still so good. so. so then i look at god minds because of a wish would oprah for body guess of anything to be here for security purposes difficult for them to get to you is it is so you call the police are you. patrick and his wife so you get used to it all that the state of alert becomes second nature when patrick quits the tension of his high risk job he confronts another tension ashore. the eye ito family is very well off. they leave the country during the vacations to take a rest i've heard people say that. it was not. but it was
3:36 pm
a curse on the journey of. god is the other what is there now. because of what is happening so people now see it as close because of the militancy the kidnapping and. they're taking this. now. it's just the government isn't serious themselves that's why. this labor costs are not sublists. this is what mrs i told is talking about militants from men movement for the emancipation of the niger delta. groups of highly armed guerrillas who attack all sides blow up pipelines and kidnap oil workers. they hide and train in the mangroves the chiefs are in the big cities or abroad. acquiring their revenues from arms sales oil smuggling and ransom demand from foreign companies and they confront the forces of law and order directly in
3:37 pm
exchanges which end in death some both sides. after endless bargaining during our various trips we were able to make contact with the mend militants. they agreed to talk as a secret location where we were taken our eyes blindfolded during the journey. in a room behind closed windows and doors we met the men who terrorize the oil companies workers and who by their attacks managed to reduce production and it's the man who's going to talk to us cause himself commander rambo here. cause when the angel was we were in lake it's a slit for the buzz is clear seven years. just given for the submission of language that i will settle for you my suppression of those in the lane the reader
3:38 pm
has just. this isn't like this. there's the using the same type to vote in a different way but doing in the schoolyard is they were doing divide a room and they were. like my old pop it's. more the same to the fact is the center. because this oil company is that and give money to one look for one government official only suppresses the cries the rights of the people so it's nuclear. we have to do this to force and to do some. not just economy with the government because if we destroy production it's a phrase the government of. mr solo in the city of and or destroyed
3:39 pm
how you booked to go far offshore to a good form for example they've been in the it comes of course so. the men the militants are able to travel far in their fast and powerful boats. aboard the f.b.i. so they're waiting for them but with our name when they might come the price of a ransom for an expatriate fifty thousand dollars thirty thousand euros the hostages are always returned in good condition to go was from his office patrick is in contact with the offices on shore several times a day though his reports are like a poem with figures. twenty two was a mismatch from. twelve point three was due to just export. our production gas was that two point one five million not into q. we injected five point. four day. with
3:40 pm
c. due to. the gas exports was. again a shortfall so. what injection was done isn't. it. there is a plan for a gradual plan one jeana zation. of most of the major client positions on the f.t. so. much and we have all the jokes on one of the a few so. it's possible but i think that would be hostile to the seach. it to be would look here to baby if it's it does happen. i would see maybe it would be in the next fifteen or twenty years because. the fact
3:41 pm
is we have to lie all the. technology from the outside we don't have the local technology. contrary to what patrick thinks they do have the technology but not the same means. a little trip continues along the delta for a sequence that nobody has ever yet managed to filter. through said time from a village whose name the inhabitants also not to mention because their revenues don't exactly derives from the declared economy. the journey through the mangroves in the countries arms of the delta is scary. because huge areas were spread. thick layer of black oil that covers the entire surface of the water below which all life is totally disappeared. kilometer after kilometer of mangrove
3:42 pm
are affected and yet no scientific mission has ever yet come into these territories and. the six black smoke is rising over the mangroves. we've arrived at last. year. as we approach the men flee. love of those in our boat call to them reassuring upward.
3:43 pm
a refinery. an illegal refinery under the open sky. here men distill crude oil barefoot they're handed a means to steal a talk on the risks of explosion. men who've welded together a few cams to make stills. and who feed the fire by tossing bowls of oil onto it. it's an apocalyptic scene under the dying palm trees. the men live here d.t.s. . sleep here and die. from the inside.
3:44 pm
light if anything if what they did he felt. he would. fund it was a. gift. i think there's a different to refining process we need all coal from the steam. on up that. they call one of. its local.
3:45 pm
finest. ok there's always through. the skin feast we went to the. fish block then and we put it inside the fold we said fly on the opening and up that from the greenspun coke they went out the gay community that we. do each leg that's going to knows we want to. define with each new team that would. go to. all on. one day with. quantity which by what i do with food.
3:46 pm
what can you say it's dirty it's dangerous. in a corner of a dying micro fisherman turn borders of crude oil just trying to get by. a nightmare no. more of a parallel economy which learn the basics of refining from oil company technicians . where does the crude come from and where does the refined products go. and. of course because this is look i don't think we did know what the concrete when on to the line on anything everybody's trouble nice although still we go to find a less safe. well on the. hills and are pouring out boiling refined oil the residues on the under still task
3:47 pm
will be thrown into a hole dug in the ground to fuel another operation. opposite the refinery canoes full to the gunnels with oil await their turn. the boat is used in confined could. probably use. as a crude. sort of you're using convened a crude. like a truck. like a truck like a truck like a truck because i'm. getting from somewhere far away from here so we can't draw more bookit to the point i come back it will be strenuous i need to acquire them many times so they use these to convey a good quantity of the product just to the world like that show with the crude oil . so many so many so many so these
3:48 pm
bodies sometimes they go there instead of this crude oil to terminate or contaminate the water they put it into the keno this is called the put into the canoe and process it here refine it here. and after all where do the refined. ok. it be so black market in local markets the local market there are people who comes here to buy from other places people that i know even each i to do it has a new talk this business has a netbook so people come from far and wide to get this productive for themselves and of course there's been a day when using it to supplement the d.v.d. the national. product because it is not sufficient nigeria is about one hundred fifty million population and about a friend i was at work and as you are aware and these people guys are doing these
3:49 pm
to the government for this. every way to sustain yes yes. here and there across the forest smoke rises to indicate a refinery apparently there are dozens we do a little further into the mangroves. which is the crude oil that these and refined come from how do they get it. on the way christmas trees down the glycol bit some economy. scorched earth that once served as a refinery patches of oil everywhere. the menace coating us have taken a risk the village chiefs people in high places get dividends from illegal
3:50 pm
refineries but the feeling of a dead end the point of no return is drowning them in indignation. after a moment we stop in the middle of an expanse of black stew. nothing on the surface but the end of a plastic pipe half emerging the well is here to stay here others work there's a button on the ground here b.s. there is a trance niger. pipe connecting the flow stations to bonnie tom and there's a ton going on a bunny where he is gloat export queue crude oil from day and the pipes are being laid on the ground from here to bony yes what is the technique people from here use for collecting liquid or when they see that when they see that there's a leak they go to disport because it looks from the ground up they want to get to the point on the ground when they get there he put tourists on this stuff
3:51 pm
is of the i'm pretty good. as well you can still get. used to used to oil too much. or too much too much work here. thank you never stopped. yet dick close it wonderfully to close it in didn't know when to con they open it to. use it all the day time to close it because there willacy they don't want people to see that. you can have you do this you want the oil. they used the mission commission. to the host yeah. it was. all around the makeshift drilling and my group is dead eaten away by the oil it's this type of leak more or less assisted that is the source of the black swamps we pass through. and we learn
3:52 pm
that retired engineers and technicians from the companies do the jobs themselves. because the operation require skill. for two thousand dollars they come with their equipment d.p.'s the pipeline and they put in a tap. the commissioner of this act of piracy then becomes owner of his own oil well. and sells the raw material to the buyers in the canoes to refine it further on. so all along the road you find tiny independent service stations consisting of three or four cans who supply the motorist. a flourishing black market based on chaos and man's inventiveness. out at sea it's a final stage in the process. a giant boy will serve as a morning of supply point for supertankers from all over the world. two hundred kilometers off the coast the d.i.y. man and backyard refiners won't be piercing the pipelines. pilots are responsible
3:53 pm
for that operation by hand and by hook. what spy to see going tugs the maneuver seems almost traditional. thought it would be but i would trust a lot of no no to that would shut up and i would guess what will split up with that to be dug up there would be about a fourth wall that. is good all the way it's good to see if i. was asked about it without getting all the way out it would help. if. you know how to do better i going through that old every day. with sometimes one mediocre. one million. you study going to good one you
3:54 pm
don't want lost it's like got some by nine hundred. you know. you will probably have. these. big selloff you keep on the looking. god given the big one three. because the guy got. filling the tank it would take three days and it will be immediately replaced by another. you can almost hear the oil slipping through the pipes. going to. put out. like. i say i was like. oh shit i see this too. but i spent time up there yeah. you know.
3:55 pm
twenty four hours a day off the coast petrol is pumped treated then delivered the world needs energy and we haven't found anything better. in the future they envisage drilling to get some more than five thousand or six thousand meters. from land and watching ice at night the f.p.s. it was like a magnificent motionless firework display and i am one last question to ask. you. i thought i would. board we mean. we maintain a principle that everyone is equal and some of the company rules on that assault where you come from long whether you're male female and so on and. with sure that's as much as possible no problems come from and so far so far we haven't had any and
3:56 pm
it's applies to most of all the other sites that have talked to the. person workers some workers the best saying that. each of nigeria or. nigeria was feeling. their general was here at the company's network. but was saying. it's. its sides and can say it's one thing. probably not probable but. life life is not.
3:57 pm
3:58 pm
3:59 pm
the issue is that so much of and there's a huge music machine on the market fronting turns on a wider range of issues the standoff between iran and western powers has brushed it down is the west preparing for a military confrontation. wealthy british style sun. sometimes it's right on. target.
4:00 pm
market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on our. need to defeat not legislation. standing on a soap box it's lights out for some of the web's most visited sites today including look at pedia reddit and craigslist the fact more than seven thousand of your favorite pages went dark to protest legislation that they say could end the free and open web as we know it but will the code of the stop online piracy act and what it means for users like you. and as the biggest websites take on congress so is the occupy wall street movement protesters took their fight to cap.
