so you 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. terminator contaminated water they put it into the can no 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 netbook this business has

a netbook so people come from far away to get this productive for themselves and of course there's been a day when using the 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 to assist the government not 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 it. 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 coating 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 black stew nothing on the surface but the end of a plastic pipe half emerging the well is here it is the here how does it work there's a back and the ground here is there is that trance the niger. pipe connecting the flow stations to bonnie tell me there's a tell me not a but a wedding is gloat export cuckoo dog from day and the pipes i've been lead on

diagram from here to bony he ace what is the technique people from here use it for collecting the could all melt when they see that one to see that they the leakage and be good to disport it because it looks from the ground up so dig dig on to get to the points on the ground when the good did he put tool it's own the self is of the back i'm pretty good. as well you can feel good. because he's too used to oil too much and we're too much too much water here. thanks for the leak never stopped. with dick closing wonderfully to close it indeed not going to come 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

everyone can do if you want to know how the oil security they used something must be missing been missing when it 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 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. i don't see it's a 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. man and backyard refiners won't be piercing the pipelines. pilots are responsible for that operation by hand and by hook. what spy to see going tugs the maneuver seems almost traditional. thought it would be to close the bottom though to do that would push us what will split up with that to be dug up there would be about a fourth. standoff way to do to see if god. was asking us to do it without getting caught so we all you could read up.

if. you know how to do better i going through that. every day. with some guys one we don't. want to go. loss. study going to good one you don't want close it's like got some by nine hundred. but 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. 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 a. lot of. guys i was like. oh shit i see this too. but i spend them up yeah. you know. there are. twenty four hours a day off the coast to petra is pumped treated then deliver 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 further and further from land and watching ice at night the f.p.s. i 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 resort 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 the so far so far we haven't had any and it's applies to most of all out of the sites that i've talked to a. person workers some workers the best saying that. each of nigeria. nigeria was feeling the. leisure 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.

culture is that so much as i can which of course the wife monica comes up here in the biggest and most expensive elections money can buy this is how many american see what are called political action committees or super pacs.

i am. the week's top stories in today's headlines of the arab league calls on syrian president bashar al assad to surrender some of his powers to his vice president and form a national unity government with the opposition this comes as the league extends its observer mission despite a lack of progress in ending almost a year of violence. early results show croatia has voted in favor of joining the european union this comes as yet another member of the financial district in union of romania brothers is up against its governments and how certain measures. and other stories that shaped this week tension over iran's nuclear program reaches new

highs as the e.u. debates an oil embargo and the u.s. ups its military presence in the region. and the power of the internet and action on a massive online backlash over u.s. plans to expand web censorship leads to the suspension of pending anti-piracy laws . thanks for joining us at the top of the hour the arab league is demanding a series of reforms in syria to stabilize the country in the wake of almost a year of violent uprising and it's called on president assad to cede some of his powers to the vice president as well as work towards the formation of a national unity government arab league officials says their monitors will continue to implement a peace plan in the country despite saudi arabia was drawing in contingency and as

artie's sarah firth reports there's a desperate need for mediation in the region conflict. crucially it was also expected to happen is that they are going to be bolstering this mission by increasing the numbers and also by providing training by the u.n. to these officials now we've actually been following them for the past five days and was become extremely clear is that certainly what is needed now it is more facilitation of dialogue between all these different groups that you see now in the country between the opposition between the government 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 does need that's where the u.n. training is going to come and play a very pivotal role because what's desperately needed in the country right now are

people who are very experienced conflict resolution to stop promoting genuine dialogue now between all the many different sides nuclear really was the need to bridge these widening gaps than in the town of zabadani we actually visited there yesterday with you is that if he remained in the country this is the area that you see in these so-called free syrian army take control of and in the last few days a temporary ceasefire because between the government forces and free syrian army so we've seen enter the city to see what's being happening certainly it's an area extremely divided on one side you've got the government in control on the other 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 where the children 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 on out there to see very similar to this that. with extremely concerning the people there with the living herd extremely dangerous situation it's not really clear who exactly is in charge he thinks killing hate and that makes the situation very very dangerous and this human cost of the conflict in syria has been devastatingly right at absolutely essential for everyone right now is to find some kind of resolution the president of the invited. by the club. that is done there and. meanwhile the opposition syrian national council says it plans to press the u.n. security council for intervention to end the country where thousands have died in the unrest the council believes arab league observers have been useless at ending hostilities and insists that foreign involvement is the only way out but as artie's maria financial reports there are doubts about the opposition leader's motives

holly told jeff from the syrian national council the country's main official opposition body says making the people's voice louder and bring in 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 international community in order to reach this syrian people freedom although it's been run by the paris based exile about how the absence he has been recognized as the country's lee determined government by the new libyan authorities and supported by some and nato countries which has made some down to 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 brokering going on behind the scenes and i absolutely

wager that the same thing is happening with syria they've either been finance. really or they've been promised a major role in a new syrian regime libya's 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's right opposition forces and their major goal is to overthrow the regime but there is a difference to the absences hut courters are not in damascus but here in istanbul we are not talking about democratic regime if i go to syria well 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 but how is another matter claiming they're only going to rely on political and diplomatic pressure the asson

see to is now copper age and 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 to the cowsills who sees humanitarian corridors and buffer zones as options to protect civilians in syria even though these might mean foreign troops arriving this is a top is the ball carriers operation where this year that gas has been used to at yes and i just need 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 after his sooner or later 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. dr omar ashour base says one. the observer mission to syria has accomplished it's to show that have been committed by both sides i think it's time in syria for dialogue and the president president assad has created the platform for such dialogue in the same time the arab league has declared that extension for the monitors mission the end of monitors mission in syria the arab monitors mission is as your report just stated a few minutes ago that it's lacking manpower it's lacking equipment it's lacking training it needs more time to actually build a comprehensive report on what's there however the first report the trillium in a report has been leaked to the media and i have i have had access to parts of this report this report shows that the there are some grave violations on both sides.

the opposition or what the so-called syrian free army you have been also using heavy gunfire against civilians it's time for the opposition for face. shows a positive sign because it is of the interest of no one of no one's interests that nato steps in they will be destruction they will be chaos as was the case in libya and as we have seen recently in libya things are not really turning into the beautiful democracy that everybody was dreaming off and the same will happen in syria. now to developments in libya a deputy head of the country's national transitional council has announced his resignation is as a series of protests against the new government continue. has been accused of being an opportunist who switched allegiances from the gadhafi regime as the uprising. on

saturday crowds of protesters stormed the m.t.c. headquarters and then ghazi angered by the way the council was handling the country's assets demonstrators threw stones and metal bars at the building breaking windows and damaging the car of the head abdul mass rallies have been raging for weeks in benghazi considered the cradle of the revolution that toppled colonel gadhafi. a spokesman for british civilians for peace in libya says the council is failing to unite the country. the gadhafi regime could control the whole of libya could find peace amongst all the tribes the new regime cannot even control something in one town or one area i mean they turn libya into a war and of the hunting of black skins they are selling off the oil and natural resources and so ranty to nato and now the thieves that is the rebels they are all falling out with each other they can't even be paid by their own masters in what they have done which is actually perform regime change on behalf of the former colonial east of libya now if you don't want to believe what gadhafi said about

what was going to happen after the regime fell and everything that i would say that he said has come to pass then listen to you probably about to resign if he's not assassinated like the military head of the thought the units had said libya is in danger of descending into a bottomless pit so really this is the chief of freedom and democracy by nato it's all become very clear people of syria and the people of lebanon and the people of the global south have to see what's happening in libya is coming to them if they're not able to defend themselves and stop this ruling western aggression against other countries in the global south. vote counting is under way in croatia it's historic a referendum on joining the e.u. zagreb signed. uss entreaty last year and it could become the union's twentieth member by july twentieth thirteen if all member states ratify the deal party's time barring is encouraged with more on that. sixty six percent of the population who did vote voted for the four croatia to join you about thirty three percent

against that's not as much as was predicted even a couple of years ago it was about seventy eight percent in favor so there has been a slide away from that but it seems most likely that the will now go ahead to join the e.u. next july a lot of the more conservative elements of society here feel very passionately that they do not want to join another union they see brussels is essentially another belgrade as far as they're concerned that could rule from a fun you have to bear in mind when you look when you're talking about croatia it's past especially in these last twenty years since the end of communism in the former yugoslavia croatia has fought very hard for the independence it has now but a group of protesters who felt extremely strongly that the that this referendum in the the next session would essentially hand away would hundred way

croatia's independence to the e.u. was their central message of course is this this is a very strong debate that will go on about what the economic consequences are for joining the e.u. for croatia a lot of strong feelings about the e.u. have been felt here in pro aisha they've also been felt in other countries just a few days ago i was in remain here this is the second poorest country tree in the moment and they have been the largest protests there since remaining the fall of communism. night and day they come to see. green their defiance fighting austerity and the feeling the government isn't listening have spilled over into anger even violence. with our youth has no future they have no jobs. motor water is sixty she's worked all her life in

a textile factory in book arrest but now she is forced to pay for her social security out of her small pension. they need to give us a fair pension and not tell us they're borrowing the money because they don't have it. is not just here for herself and her son left romania but italy to try and find work young rumanians feel trapped and directing most of their anger at the president try and assess coup protesters accuse him of trampling over democracy and presiding over a political elite riddled with corruption. who wants to descend down down with disaster as parents left us with a heritage and we are leaving our children with just debt and international monetary fund loan in two thousand and nine came with tough conditions the remaining 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 to economic disaster. this was done at the expense of there are many in state and now those who hadn't been guilty for their situation hadn't even profited from it had to pay for those who had profited. the government blames international economic conditions however for the country's worst. let's not forget that we're in the eye of the storm of an economic european storm all around us unfortunately is a mighty tempest with economic consequences that inevitably affect us to just not good enough say the opposition who argue of course that they could do better every day discourage inefficient government stays in power is a day last for rumania or jews used to shorten the period as much as we can fast as we can by stern elections with many of them accepting there is no escape

economically politics for them off is the only hope of change and that leads straight back out onto the streets. these. days are the. stereotype. of the president about to be here and you can see why what made you want to change it all down and start to. hear about when you last have expressed their willingness to return to dialogue with iran over its nuclear program but despite that the e.u. seems about set to approve an unprecedented embargo on our brain in oil france says tougher sanctions are the only way to avoid military action by us in its turn has strengthened its presence in the region by 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 seaway is a strategic passage for the majority of oil exports from the gulf to the west brian becker from the anti-war answer coalition says washington is deliberately escalating the situation to create a pretext for regime change in iran. you know. it 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 threaten 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 run refuses to 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.
