like a truck like a truck like a truck because i'm on this group just got in from somewhere far away from here so we can't take drum or bucket to the point and come back it will be strenuous and require them many times so they use these to convey a good quantity of the product just like that show with the crew. so many so many so many so these boys sometimes they go there instead of to terminate or contaminate the water they put it into the keno this is called can you put it to the canoe and process it here refine it here and after where the refined oil ok. is black market the local market the local market there are people who comes here to buy from other places

people that are not even. i to do it has a network this business has a network so people come from far and wide to get this productive for themselves and of course there's been a day when using the supplement the d.d.d. the national. product because is not sufficient nigeria is about one hundred fifty million population and refined areas are working as you are aware and these people guys are doing these two for the. ever way to sustain yes 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. but where does the crude oil that these men refine come from how do they get in.

the air on the way christmas trees abandoned like old but some economy. scorched earth that once served as a refinery parties of oil everywhere. the menace scorning us have taken a risk the village chiefs people in high places get dividends from illegal 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 blacks do you nothing on the surface but the end of a plastic pipe half emerging the well is here it is the here others work there's a back and the ground here b.s. there is that transfer. by connecting the flow stations to born

and tell me there's a dummy not a but a word is gloat export cuckoo dog from day and the pipes i've been lead on diagram from here to bony erase what is the technique people from here use it for collecting the crude or when they see that one to see that they the leakage and big good to disport it because it looks from the ground up so the day he wanted to get to the points on the ground when the good did he put tool it's own this stuff is of the i'm pretty good all those where you can feel good. i think. he's too used to oil too much suv or too much too much water here. thanks for the leaks have stopped. the dick closing wonderfully to close it in didn't know when to com they open it to. use it all media day time to

close it because they obviously they don't want people to see the. right thing having gone through this you want to know how the oracle security they used something was a mission to machine connect to the host yeah on bono's it was. all around the makeshift drilling a migrant 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 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 town. 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 for that operation by hand and by hook. watch by to see going tugs the maneuver seems almost traditional. thought it would be a lot would cost a lot of no no to do that would shut up and i would push that's 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 it but

i. was asked about it when i was going to go there without it without. you know how to get all's i going through that old every day. sometimes when we don't. want to go. loss. study going to do one you don't want close it's like got some by nine hundred. you know. you will probably have. these. big sell off you go on the local. god given the big one three. because the guy got a. 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. my. eyes i was like. oh shit i see festool. but i spend time yeah. you know. there are. twenty four hours a day off the coast of petra is pumped treated then delivered the world needs energy and we haven't found anything better. in the future they envisage going to depths of more than five thousand or six thousand meters. from land and watching ice at night the f.p.s. i was like a magnificent motionless fog 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 them without a source where you come from along whether you're male female and so on and. with sure that as much as possible no problems come from and so far so far we haven't had any and 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. nigeria was feeling. their general was here companies network. but was

saying. its sides and can say it's one thing. probably not probable but. life life is not.

arab league officials say they're observing the mission in syria will be extended for an extra month despite criticism from the syrian opposition which wants to see the un step in. croatia voting on whether the country she'd join the e.u. e should already sparking protests and some violent clashes as the watch continues to be shaken by anti austerity rallies with people in romania now rising up against their government. and turning to the other stories that shape the week tensions around tehran's nuclear program stir further by plans to impose it on pargo on iranian oil and the us building its warship presence in the region. and the

power of the internet in action a massive online backlash over u.s. plans to expand web censorship leads to the suspension of pending anti-piracy laws . eight pm in moscow by mattress or bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news here on r t arab league officials say the group has decided that their team of moderators will carry on helping to settle the crisis in syria the league also reportedly agreed to increase the number of servers who'll be trained by the un the mission expired this week but violence continues to flare in the country as are reports there is a desperate need for professional mediators in the region conflict. while the observers delegation has been meeting in cairo here in syria the observers who were

made in the country have continued their visits around now one of the major questions being raised at the end of this particular mandate was just how successful the mission had been in sort of advancing the situation here in the country we've been following the observers to the last five days and what was very very clear was what's desperately needed in the country right now are people who are very experienced a conflict resolution to stop promoting genuine dialogue now between all the many different sides because of course in syria at the moment you've got very different narratives it depends on he speaks where you go in the country is very very hard to get a grasp on exactly what is happening to clear really was the need to bridge these widening gaps than in the talus of the dunny we actually visited there yesterday with the if that is the remained in the country this is the area that you see in the so-called free syrian army take control of and in the past few days

a temporary ceasefire because between the government forces and free syrian army so we've seen enter the city to see both thing happening certainly it's an area extremely divided on one side you've got the government in control on the side the free syrian army but it's actually an actual fight very very difficult to know exactly who is in charge of the people's houses that we were showing in the city center had been absolutely devastated by the fighting with the children who have been showing us some of the bullet casings that they've found around the area all the houses in this part you can see the destruction from the fighting that's been going out. in this area it was extremely concerning that people who were still living hurt externally dangerous situation it's not really clear who exactly is in charge think killing. and that makes the situation very very dangerous and the scene in cost of the conflict in syria has been

devastatingly high and absolutely essential for everyone right now is to find some kind of resolution that this it adds to the. right things. that are done. meanwhile the opposition syrian national council says it plans to press the u.n. security council for intervention in the country torn apart by the unrest council believes the arab league observers have been useless at ending the crisis and insists that a foreign government involvement is the only way out was our team or if the notion reports there are some doubts about the opposition leaders motives. howlett ho jeff from the syrian national council the country's main official opposition body says making the people's voice louder and bring an end to the violence is what the essence he was created for our main goal is to help the syrian people there present them and their to national community in order to reach this syrian people's

freedom and although it's been run by paris based exile but hummock and you know the absence he has been recognized as the country's leader to meet government by the new libyan authorities and supported by some easy and nato countries which has made some doubt the council's innocent intentions with regards to libya the promise that nato made to the national transitional council perspective leaders was that they be given a major seat at the table in a new libya so there is power broking going on behind the scenes and i absolutely wager that the same thing is happening with syria they've either been bought off financially or they've been promised a major role in a new syrian regime as national transitional council and the syrian national council and it's not just their names they have in common supported and sponsored from abroad think he writes opposition forces and their major goal is to overthrow the regime but there is

a difference to the absences huts courters are not in damascus but here in istanbul we are not talking about a democratic regime if i go to syria now we have. you know we have to be executed there howlett says he spent fifteen years in jail in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's just because his father supported the opposition he claims nothing has changed since then and the oppression has to stop the town is another matter claiming they're only going to rely on political and diplomatic pressure the asson see to is. now copper age in with the free syrian army fighters who have defected from assad's military in was a clear shift from the essences initial entirely known armed peaceful stance in the cowsills to seize humanitarian corridors and buffer zones as options to protect civilians in syria even though these might mean foreign troops arriving this isn't

a top is that all parents operation where this year that the gas has been used to at a vessel that jeddah they made to look at that because they don't want they want to destabilize syria because they want syria to be part of nato at least late to label the opposition claims is just a matter of time before the joint afterwards sooner or later it will force president assad out his attorneys to stay but the question remains exactly how long should these people have to wait for the bloodshed to stop and how many of them will actually see the end of it. turkey. alister current director of the conflicts forum in beirut and a former new middle east mediator tell our to earlier that despite the syrian opposition efforts many think western interference would end in disaster. the opposition is is deeply divided the syrian national council which was set up to model the libyan benghazi transitional council does not reflect the pinion

inside syria and it's very clear and by that i mean opposition opinion inside syria most of whom on north sanctions to see assad go even though they are very much in favor of reforms and demanding reforms that take place they fear that external intervention certainly anything on the libyan model would be a disaster internally and would carry the state towards either sectarian civil war. the deputy leader of libya's ruling national transitional council says he's resigning after a series of protests against the country's new leaders on saturday a crowd stormed the council's headquarters in the city of benghazi angry at the slow pace of democratic change protesters threw stones and metal bars of the building in the first acts of violence against libya's interim leaders demonstrators have been rallying for weeks in benghazi the epicenter of last year's revolution against the gadhafi regime the accused leadership of lacking

transparency and want to know how libya's assets are being used radio host and author stephen lennon thinks protests will continue against the government that crowd see as a puppet of the west. oh i think the government is taking orders from the government in washington and that's the way it's been all along i'm very. real sitting in washington using their proxies sitting in secretly make it a little more rebel fighters take a plane you know a privately they're not treated properly. would draw down they the people who promised it would say to me people get in those same points away and everything is in secret you in the end you see get them. in that space is a complete waste and eliminate serving wasted interest absolutely having no

interest in ordinary libyans the tribes of libya a united in a resistance against nato in the us the m.t.c. government they want the country i expect attracted violence a very anything can happen. stay with us here on r.t. still ahead another country trying to rise from revolution egypt now facing the consequences of the democracy had fought so hard boys islam is sweep the board in recent elections. but first anger is reaching a boiling point in romania which saw its worst violence in years as anti austerity protesters clashed with police for the second week running people have been demanding that the president and government step down this against a backdrop of wage cuts and tax hikes in the e.u. second poorest countries struggling to meet the demands of its international creditors artie's tom bargain has the latest from bucharest. night and day they come to scream that defiance biting austerity and the feeling the government isn't

listening have spilled over into anger even violence. our youth has no future they have no jobs. no water is sixty she's worked all her life in a textile factory in book arrest but now she's forced to pay for her social security out of her small and. they need to give us a fair pension and not tell us they're borrowing the money because they don't have it had a war is not just here herself her son left her name yes but it's him to try and find work young rumanians feel trapped and directing most of the around the president try and assess who protest as accuse him of trampling over democracy and presiding over a political elite riddled with. long steep descent down down with disaster parents left us with

a heritage and we're losing our children just that. an international monetary fund loan in two thousand and nine came with tough conditions the remain in government has tried to force its financial house into water budget benefit cuts slashed pay pension freezes falling living standards but some say it's the people who are now being forced to pay for the mistakes of the few who stayed the country economic disaster. this was done at the expense of their remain in state and now those who hadn't been guilty for this situation hadn't even profited from it played on those who had profited the government blames international economic conditions however for the country's worst doings let's not forget that we're in the eye of a storm of an economic european storm all around us unfortunately is a mighty tempest with economic. sequences that inevitably affect us to just not

good enough so that the opposition who argue course that they could do better or more every day discourage inefficient government stays in power is a day lost for rumania or jews used to shorten the period as much as become once fast as we can by fair elections with many of them accepting there is no escape economically politics for them off as the only hope of change and that leads straight back out onto the streets. of the foundation of the well don't like. this stereotype. of the president about democracy here and you can see why remain you want to tear it all down and start again yeah. it's decision day for in croatia for people who are now voting on session there the outcome is hard to predict as recent surveys show the issue has split the country down the middle

saturday police clashed with protesters who tried to pull down any new flag ahead of the referendum if the result is a yes vote will join the block by july of next year but only if its membership is approved by all twenty seven member states investment advisor patrick young says it's easy to understand those opposing the move because croats see how their euro neighbors are facing tough times. the key consideration here is that when we look at the croatian referendum there's been barely one and p. in the entire parliament who's actually been turning round of publicly saying anything against the e.u. itself so the fact that we have this amazing groundswell of support at something like forty percent easing credible it demonstrates the fact that the political classes are completely and utterly of touch with what the people are thinking and what the people are thinking is quite simple big scene neighbors speak seeing similar who are american. european countries such as themselves people like slovakia slovenia as stony are all coming into the european union they join the

euro zone and they find it the worst choice in chalice imaginable because slovakia nurses and pensioners are not getting paid a third of what they would get paid if they were working in greece and to add insult to injury they're actually paying money to the greeks in order to support their euro zone bailout so they see neighboring countries such as hungary i mean the government of hungry for the past two weeks have been vilified by the european union are not going to get into the argument to avoid whether or not the prime minister is right or wrong there but certainly people get very very and feel very very uneasy about things that are being said. patrick young talking about the e.u. pressure on hungary and on saturday crowds of more than one hundred thousand took to the streets of the capital budapest where they were supporting their government which recently came under fire from the e.u. for passing what brussels thought to be anti-democratic laws it also stalled belo talks with the i.m.f. prompting threats of court action this week to hungary and prime minister backed down in the dispute saying the legislation will be changed. parties tom barton is

in the region following all the latest developments you can check out our team's twitter feed as well as his personal one for the latest on hungary's dispute with the e.u. as well as the current referendum the latest updates all online for you right now. europe in the u.s. have expressed their willingness to return to talks with iran over its controversial nuclear program despite this the e.u. is seemingly still set to approve an embargo on iranian oil france even says it's time to avoid military intervention the time to avoid military intervention rather is running out as for the u.s. this week strengthened its presence in the region sending a second aircraft carrier to the arabian sea it's reportedly planning to sail through the strait of hormuz which iran has threatened to block in response to sanctions the straits the strategic waterway which the majority of oil exports from the gulf to the west pass brian becker from the antiwar answer coalition things washington maybe deliberately raising the situation take create

a pretext for regime change in iran. the united states government has created an artificial crisis that's first and foremost it's a manufactured crisis aronne is complying with the i.a.e.a. iran does not have a nuclear weapon iran is not threatening its neighbors iran has not started a war with any of its neighbors israel on the other hand has hundreds of nuclear weapons and unlike the iran i refuse is the sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty does not allow. inspectors into its country so there's not really a nuclear menace or a nuclear danger from iran so what is the cause what's the cause of the crisis of the artificial crisis the real goal is the united states government has embarked on a course of extreme economic aggression against iran with the hope that by creating economic suffering economic isolation economic misery that part of the population will rise up or become disenfranchised.
