intervened. and romania gripped by mass protests as frustrated crowds call for an end to the government's austerity cuts and corruption call for the president to step down some sixty people were injured in violence is among protesters and police in the capital. next we take you to nigeria a nation a rich in oil but where its own people suffer violence terrorism and poverty part two of the report coming up. but the best is yet to be seen if lost in the brush just a few meters away that's a compensation for political. you know as a composition to them for the boy to confront the police obasanjo the former president of nigeria a much too doesn't know one problem is that if i got a manager it was a beaut. oil gas for such institute to be here to fund its own. mini and i walk was supposed to commence to fall and be
3:32 pm
a much well that's was picked this is the only institute. i listen to the institute this is the oil and gas research institute in nigeria yes that's a good resource joe you've got come out to do research if you want to come here it will be you we see a lot just going to open this tonight and i say we do i would say this is so i'm disappointed by the president not that much this time not mean is the president will be put out of public and i guess. that is what we have. put him up in that. port harcourt three million inhabitants the principal city of the delta and growing exponentially expansionists like the nigerians who work on the platforms often live here when they're ashore. or in the car of patrick and we met on the f.p.s.
3:33 pm
so. he's head 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 oregon now for drive on but you don't know it's actually difficult for you to trust somebody here because it was the move has a lot of story. to pull you employed. or drive your house needs they could live with could not but in order to. do that will for. a struct in 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 buy the taking
3:34 pm
but after i did this no more of the b.s. spotted about fired today how good accommodation and had an exclusive body in one thing as an all a that's so you'll have to. throw a few kind in the how you try to provide security for itself. just as a very careful and to see how you can take care of yourself i have fun with it i don't go all the way and it is known as a strict. don't go out when he just needs to know you need to look around to people . who are on you on all of that stuff. started to speak show. you. some numbers if we arrive at the house now super secure is a little fortress but outside and inside. the disease sim
3:35 pm
friend so from you know your guide see look through the su is that you decide if anything is going on you can look through yet to see all those he already does i will work to get you. down i have. more here we see your life still so good. so. so then i. ok god minds because of fear we should all go forward because of it's to be there for security purposes difficult for them to get to you is it is so you call the bullies. patrick and his wife so you get used to it off but 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 the. world is not cheats but it was
3:36 pm
a curse on the journey of who. is the other what is there now. because what is happening so people now see it as a class because of the militancy the kidnapping. took in this. it. is just the government there isn't here is themselves that's why it was that is like the 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 their chiefs are in the big cities or abroad. acquiring their revenues from arms sales oil smuggling and ransom demand
3:37 pm
from foreign companies and they confront the forces of law and order directly in 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 eyes blindfolded during the journey. in a room behind closed windows and doors we met the man who terrorized the oil companies workers and who by their attacks managed to reduce production from its. the man who's going to talk to us cause himself commander rambo here. because when we were in lake slid for the buzz fifty seven years. we've been for the most efficient of language that i will settle for human suppression of the doors in the radio. as i just. to
3:38 pm
this day in your call the noise and. verses there's the. talked about in a different way but they're doing. it in the schoolyard as they were doing degrade and. they were. like my old pop it's only the symptom. the fact is the center. because this is that and give money to look out for one government official only suppresses the cries the rights of the people so. we have to do this to force and. to. not just the government because if we destroy production. it's a phrase the government of. congress to. swallow it is sit of and or destroyed.
3:39 pm
how you're able to goof off shore to a good form for example. if in the course of. 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 probably office patrick it is in contact with the offices on shore several times a day those reports are like a poem with figures. twenty two mismatch from. twelve point three was due to just exported. our production gas was the point one five knew that in two q. . we injected five point. four day.
3:40 pm
with c to the. export was. again a shortfall so. what injection was new on this and. it . was. planned for a gradual plan for nineteen. of most of the major point positions on the f.d.a. so. maginot we have all the jobs. so. it is possible but i think that would be fast to see. it to be would look here to be if it's it does happen. i would think maybe been next fifteen or twenty years because. the fact is
3:41 pm
we have to lie all the. technology from outside we go after local technology. contrary to what patrick thinks they do have the technology but not the same means . a little trip continues along the delta sequence that nobody has ever yet managed to filter. he said i'm from a village whose name the inhabitants asked us not to mention because their revenues don't exactly derives from the declared economy. the journey through the mangrove in the countries arms of the delta is scary. because huge areas where oil spread. thick layer of black oil that covers the entire surface of the water below which all life has totally disappeared. kilometer off
3:42 pm
a kilometer of mangrove are affected and yet no scientific mission has ever yet come into these territories. six black smoke is rising over the mangroves. we've arrived at last. as we approach the men flee. those in our boat call to them reassuring a. refinery
3:43 pm
. an illegal refinery under the open sky. here men distill crude oil their flow they're handed amidst the steam talk on the risks of explosion. men who've welded together a few cams to make stills. and to feed the fire by tossing bowls of oil onto it. it's an apocalyptic scene on the dying palm trees. the men live here detail. sleep here and die here. todd from the inside.
3:44 pm
why did he think what i did he felt. he would. fund this one is pretty. and this is. the kind of there's a different to refining process we need all coal from the steam.
3:45 pm
it's local. in different ways that. the finest. ok there's always room to do. the steam feast we went. fishing. didn't we put it inside the folds we said on the opening up that's on the grandson called one. gay community that we don't get to. do it's like that's going to let me on to. a defined. you teamed with. on. sunday with the gold quantity which by now i do with google. i. i. what can you say it's dirty it's dangerous.
3:46 pm
in a corner of a dying micro fisherman turn borders of crude oil are just trying to get by. a nightmare no. more of a parallel economy which let the basics of refining from oil company technicians. where does the crude come from and where does the refined products go. and. then the. company of course because this is look. did you also know what the concrete where not relying on anything everybody's trouble nice old still goes fine the last save. lives i will only. have. a stills on our poor thing out boiling refined oil residues on the under still tal's will be thrown into
3:47 pm
a hole dug in the ground to fuel another operation. opposite the refinery canoes photo the gunnels with oil await their turn. to get booties using comfy in. public is. as a group or. usually talk to use it conveyed a good and. like a truck like short like a truck like a truck like a truck because of these crude is got the prop somewhere far away from here so we can't dig dromo bookit to do. point i come back it will be strenuous. many times so they use these to convey a good quantity of the product just feel the world like that show with the crude oil. so many so many so many so
3:48 pm
these boys sometimes they go there instead of to dominate or contaminate the water they put it into the kaino this is called kin to put into the canoe and process it here refine it here. and after where do sell the refined oil ok. it be sold at the black market the local market the local market there are people who comes here to buy from other places the people that i know even. i to do it has in it talk this business has a netbook so there are people come from far away to get this productive for themselves and of course there's been a day when using it to supplement the d.d.d. didn't national. product because it is not sufficient nigeria is about one hundred fifty million population and about a friend of his are working as you are aware and these people guys are doing these
3:49 pm
too not for the. ever way to sustain yes yes yes. here and there across the forests smoke rises to indicate a refinery apparently there are dozens. were going to go further into the mangrove . which is the crude oil that these and refined come from how do they get it. on the way christmas trees pounded like old bits a mechanic. scorched earth that once served as a refinery parties of oil everywhere. the men a scorching 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 only after a moment we stop in the middle of an expanse of blacks to you. nothing on the surface but the end of a plastic pipe half emerging the well is here it is the here work there's a button and the ground here is there is the transfer. by. connecting the flow stations to bony tom and lays it down in on a body where he is gloat export crude oil from day and the pipes are being laid on the ground from here to bony e s. . what is the technique people from here use for collecting the crude oil flow when they see that one to see the day they leak through and be good to disport because it looks from the ground up they want to get to the point on the chrome
3:51 pm
that when they get did he put tourists on the selfies of the back i'm going with all of those or you can feel good. about it because. he's too used to or too much suv were too much it's too much work here. thanks for the leak never stopped. it. because it wonderfully the close it in didn't know when to com the open it did use it needed a time to close it because there willacy they don't want people to see that. it couldn't have been continuous use the oil come up excuse me but they used the mission to machine all wanted to the host here on bono's it was. all around the makeshift drilling the main 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
3:52 pm
we pass through. and we learn that retired engineers and technicians from the companies do the jobs themselves. because the operation require skill sets for two thousand dollars they come with their equipment to pierce the pipeline and they put in a town. commissioner of this act of piracy then becomes owner of his own oil well. and sells the wrong material to the buyers in a canoe has to refine it further on. so all along the road you find tiny independent service stations consisting of three or four counties who supply the motorist. a flourishing black market based on chaos and man's inventiveness. i should see it's the final stage in the process. a giant boy will serve as a morning and supply point for supertankers from all over the world. two hundred kilometers off the coast the d.i.y. men and backyard refiners won't be piercing the pipelines. pilots are responsible
3:53 pm
for that operation by hand and by hook. watch by to see going tugs the maneuver seems almost traditional. thought it would be to just about of no no to do good and i would push that's what was supposed to be dug up there would be about a fourth wall that. is dentals way it's good to see it but i. was asked about it today when i got a call so we all do good without. sounding like. you know how to do better i going through that old every day. with sometimes one mediocre. one million plus. the study going to do one you don't
3:54 pm
want gloss it's like got something one hundred. like go. through probably at. least. makes a log onto you you know keep on developing. god given the big one three one. progressing gradually. filling the tank it will take three days and it will be immediately replaced by another. you can almost hear the oil slipping through the pipes. going up. everybody put on. lockdown. and i was like oh my. gosh you know i see this talk. about us ben ben i want to hear. you know.
3:55 pm
twenty four hours a day off the coast petrus pumped treated then deliver the world needs energy and we haven't found anything better. in the future they envisage turning to depths of more than five thousand or six thousand meters further and further from land and watching ice at night the f.p.s. i was like a magnificent motionless firework display and i have one last question to ask. if you. are. on board we mean. we maintain a principle that it was equal to some of the common rules that we got was where you come from. all whether you're male female and so on and. with sure that's as much as possible no problems come from the so far so far we haven't had any and
3:56 pm
it's applies to most of all out of the sites the tough talk to. person workers some workers in the us that. trying to chip off in their jury or. no jury was feeding the birds. and the jury was apparently companies to make money. but it was simply. it's. just sad and consider i'm saying. i'm probably not paul. potts. life life is not.
3:57 pm
3:58 pm
3:59 pm
wealthy british style sun. that's not on the tires.
4:00 pm
market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with my stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into a report on our. i think that anybody if you're determined enough and you're motivated enough you can do anything here in this country well there is a positive attitude about in a country that has never been more divided among class line is that really the case these days or is the american dream becoming a real nightmare. plus as the gap widens between the rich and poor in the us a so is another gap the one between truth and fallacy when it comes to iran's nuclear ambitions lawmakers and media outlets alike are quick to draw conclusions i don't know when they can use it to their advantage i'll explain. every corner is a.
