3:33 pm
you know that the miners eat thanks to our gold medalist but in ways we either thanks to or lent them with good dependent corn beans and one other earth gives us . a market share so you and i think that i am one of the people affected by the mining company and the truth is where witnesses to what has been happening most of our wells and springs have dried out because of the drilling and the time know what if we wanted it them be and also because they use the water to wash the goal it's not all. up.
3:34 pm
to. us and we don't know where it. is them or where in resistance in sunningdale is i mean again for many reasons is that it is where friday to defend our land salau to defend our water to defend our health. and this is why the company has denounced us so much. are you. going to go there won't be there but then you will see i have seven children i am twenty one years old. i'm married. then and that's my husband and it must have been married for twenty years
3:35 pm
he said if you work i work here in your house yes so you have seven jobs. and this is one yes. when it was day yet i like to tell you my life story but i think the whole world already knows it. i thought. i. seen list in our world view. is this way of creating an economy of making money is completely illogical it's illogical because it destroys nature
3:36 pm
beautifully learnt the lesson through if you destroy nature you basically destroy the person's soul three and what follows you see at the end of the day is that the person's life is destroyed and a little someone we're very close to nature and means a great deal to us which we are parts of the whole song was when told. of the conflict unfolding in the highlands tarted when the one tiny a mining company attempted to transport an enormous metal cylinder it to san marcos and they pan-american highway. like that i think that i think. is disentangled in a sneeze or some of the scenes from what happened yesterday in the west of the country in the mid to going up when about one thousand police officers and three hundred members of the army confronted hundreds of farmers from various villages in that region. yes it's reminiscent of the armed internal conflict in the one nine hundred eighty s. a candidate for example. in
3:37 pm
central america. was going through a real or more us kids with the worst of the. hundreds of thousands of people were murdered and disappeared and million of them were displaced from their homes or they stand up against the modern army one hundred thousand died in one thousand nine hundred two the year the general rios montt mount a scorched earth policy and really devastated hundreds of my and villages is the most in that we are in a wall and we have been saying that. is marvelous that odds we need to change. and that change consists precisely all for one imposing your will over us reagan was praising the worst killer as it is the most
3:38 pm
a few suv terms are real smart real smart and close ties to the united states who gave in to fight against the guerrillas and the wounds that were inflicted by that conflict could continue to fester clearly and that has contributed to the current situation the repression of of any type of economic change really created the kind of poison politics that they have and this leads to the lying story because everybody tones dealt with these birds and you can't say they're responsible for the rios montt slaughter it with they're benefiting from the structures that were left in place after those many years of service area oppression. even. when the municipality semi go to store con here. which is just sort of on top
3:39 pm
of where they call cork my news so we're going to follow the road down by the mine visit with. this. idea dora. certainly has legitimacy. well first of all in defense of her rights what she is defending is her land she has refused to sell her plot of land to the whole court because they were hoping to expand their mind through her part of land. been. so long if you've been with theodora about thirty five years now of marriage yes. no i didn't you work in the mine didn't they offer you a job no no. no because we didn't want to have anything to do with the miners the madonnas a salute of all these people are destroying every one's health around here. i am
3:40 pm
involved in the resistance so is my husband she says it's great that to a fight but how do we get them to leave kid is too much i ask god for them to leave keep coming i want us to be left in peace you know after we went at it with my granddaughter is used to live with us now three was. the one hand i cry when they think about her future. what will happen to her if they kill me. yes the sun these are the company's power lines when i saw that they had put these poles on my land i was very angry because i didn't give them permission and that. we have a custom you say where you say and you keep your word. but here they took
3:41 pm
advantage. i didn't one mining i didn't run anything. what i wanted was for them to take out the poles nothing more. we just took a wire and threw it over the cable to cut off the power this was the car and after we cut off their tricity the company sent the police. as opposed to see a t.v. show like this we're here to learn about guatemala suppose this becomes a trip where we're learning actually about no kid of the united states historically and on an ongoing basis today these are parts of our role they decided before the destruction that they would kill to day so they basically closed off the valve. housing for the mine workers some of the prices there are some of the take the high that over there and then there's the whole complicated processing plant holds here
3:42 pm
it's a very low concentration you know you're probably holding gold and you pick up this earth right here this is the cheapest form of gold mining the most destructive because you're getting one gram of cool for one time some of the estimates are one gram of coal for seven tons and because of the cost to build internationally because of the low cost of the money up aeration it's worth their while to just clear cut the whole region they have an endless mine and say there's no doubt that the gold is as far as the eye can see. to the big gold guns are teaming up gold corpus announced an eight point six billion dollar us friendly takeover of glamorous gold it will be the lowest cost fastest growing on head score any company in the world the goldcorp glamorous combination would pump out about three million ounces of gold a year making it the best biggest producer in the world and in terms of market cap it would rank number three we just reported earnings they were up seventy two percent year on year while we saw the gold price go up thirty percent so very
3:43 pm
pleased with that exposure that we provide to gold you have a prediction of where gold goes from here for the next let's say here i would say it could certainly get to two thousand dollars thousand dollars an ounce and there are four hundred ounces in these gold bars i'm just going to tell that they're probably you know what it's almost you having to tell how much is this what about thirty five. it's they will have. the beginning of the lone politic night moxon the fades from island life. and now enough temptation. to dogma's last for six months. more polar bears than people. and it's as easy to hire a rifle as a scooter. because the island is so in
3:44 pm
a special there are no indigenous people but there are all those who do choose this frozen life. this era is could be. if you are. on their way to antarctica the crew of the i can to make sure that a face many challenges. here you have to look out for yourself crashing on to rocks trapped in pack ice in extreme conditions anything can happen and article always comes up with surprises you have to keep your eyes open because if there's always something going wrong the ship carries huge reserves of water food fuel as well as helicopters and people able to survive extreme conditions they're ready for anything even an apocalypse she's really an incredible ship calling all antarctica stations this is academic a field that of radio check please respond. dramas
3:45 pm

3:46 pm
dollars by going for some twenty bucks an ounce i don't know as a status i never understood gold quite frankly it's this item it isn't all that useful but it's valuable because people assign it a value why is the price of gold so high. demand global demand do you think oldest money. know at the end of the day why gold you know it's gold because it's gold because it's gold because it's gold you can't look into this deeply or the whole thing just set a good deal of the gold teeth why should we be mining gold at all. we already have huge amounts of mind to gold in the world of the value of the only place we have to live of the water that we need to survive it's not compared to any gold we're not going to eat go we're not going to bait. we're not going to drink. if you offered
3:47 pm
me the choice i'm looking at some sixty seven foot. of gold i'm looking at it all day and the alternative that was to have all the farmland in the country for a quick profit or to get a piece of metal to stick it of walt so we can say we own it. we're destroying the very future that we want to there we're trying to secure all the litany of harms and violations to get this gold out of the ground and then you take this and you take it home to your country and you bury it under the ground. i'm going to try the british under. the way back to.
3:48 pm
on behalf of montana explorer dora and gold core spam we are committed to being in san miguel issue. with a vision here a long term vision of moving people we feel part of this beautiful mean this appellate we feel like part of the family of san miguel ishtar cried today that has been confirmed plenty of the moment that we're planning right now on exploiting this area. and we're going to transport minerals on the roads for every machinery over here in the mills we have a pigeon east expands almost in every direction. so. there won't be any problem with that for them honest. on the matter no say oh. it's first who didn't know if it was a gold mining company or a mine we didn't know nobody knew a thing is there are the workers said they're growing or kids
3:49 pm
a flower company is that's what we understand it yes sir. they were looking for me and when they found me that they asked me to sell my land yet at least i said no see i can never get you know my because i didn't want to sell no and i was not thinking of selling. my yes down to console when they started working on the road it appeared to me to go and have a look at my land. again when they get back in that other machines were working on my land they were making a highway. as if the property was theirs yes. it seems. if if you all do a good job. if montana leaves if you get them out.
3:50 pm
throw it create jobs i mean it creates jobs. with the brain is when you only want to chase away the money. and we're the bastards no it doesn't bother me no no no no way no my support isn't for the company my support is for my life. so they make good money. well i want to make money to support my life. you see at the facility and i think that there are two groups and there is one group that says i made her safely and openly no to mining. there is another group that says yes the mine is good there's a lot of divisions in their own communities because some people have jobs in the mind etc having said all that the people in san diego and cells are trying to resist by starting to carry out their own polls of patients indigenous peoples. engaged in their own process of expressing their views about these projects
3:51 pm
and they have called these processes consult us that when a food good food consultations are suppose for uniformly that he was being in opposition to development projects like mines on the territory and the communities aren't saying the owners of the goldcorp or mean people are evil devils are just saying we don't want your companies here. this is a good incentive to go to one hundred get sellers that come from the mine where the fifty cents stays in san miguel well if you read fifty cents will stop in the hands of the central government in the way they neuer and ninety nine is for them this year of one hundred people in the us you know this kind of business is totally unfair for the community but it's it's
3:52 pm
a robbery practically i think i mean i mean the mining company says it has generated a lot of development in san macau. is this the truth is that the only development that they have created is an increase in violence that you can think of there are more then forty eight bars and time again prostitution here in san miguel there is everything that is in the game so we haven't seen any development no real change that the mind has brought to this town. and if the big buildings in the communities the profitable projects and whatever else could be done with so much money so if these things don't really exist it's a lie when they say there's a big change it doesn't exist there's nothing really. good. not.
3:53 pm
the economic models that we were bringing them to countries like bottom all we're really about making rich people richer. you know to take a step back and look sitting back and demichelis and she should be employed such a perfectly awful piece you start with this community that's a military tribunal because people have been living in this valley for at least a thousand years so to have this project dumped on top of their heads like this is the classic. imposition of a so-called development project. selling the development projects that really. usually indebted countries may be profitable world bank didn't necessarily deliver a lot for the for the poor who maintain those burdens of the world bank was aware of the violence being used to displace these people.
3:54 pm
descend upon the ticket. this. sort of bidding to take the pics if they're good to play a forest or destroyed it is a similar process to what happened with the coal mining story there was a complete lack of consultation with the communities they were given no option as to whether they would need to move or not the whole serious of structural rules that were imposed on guatemala and many other countries through the international monetary fund in the world bank with leadership from the united states a pattern throughout the water model of large scale development projects mining hydroelectric dams and so forth within indigenous territories but without in many cases even minimal consultation what clearly what a mall is and is in a desperate economic situation absolutely right what we're wrong to do is say there
3:55 pm
for any kind of economic development from the outside is going to be a benefit their only purpose is to extract as much money as possible to feed into the global financial system. with me or a part of the geo political economic system that's extremely exploitative i would argue that the legacy of money it's precisely that that it has some short term economic benefit both most of those economic benefits accruing to investors and has a long term ecological consequence that is very negative for the for the ongoing development prospects of the region. it wouldn't surprise me at all if many of you directly or indirectly are invested in the pool tore through a pension fund through a trust fund through an endowment through a little bit of savings you have you're probably investing goldcorp and dozens of mining companies that are operating around the world contributing to harms to one
3:56 pm
degree or another. what you owe me that. since i came to live here when i crossed the wooden breach in my car when to drink water and what happened. so they don't have water you drive. that. there was no water. but they would let me know miles a mile in mine has used millions and millions of liters of. water that no longer flows now that you have the mines are blowing through the amount of water that one family uses in twenty years or more every hour.
3:57 pm
there is a clash of cultures in the way that the govt or uses water is just another resource . and it's extract a process and to the millions who really regard to central to life itself the water is completely. contaminated it's no longer fit for humans because again i can't they say there is no pollution so where does the poison go when they're done with it no want to process the gold where does it go i mean and if you are saying it's not contaminated then let's go to the tailing down and you have a drink drink and then. eat didio the government isn't supposed to grant license with the community's consent. but that's exactly what they've done in san miguel he didn't think. he heard. it before we were not away. yet
3:58 pm
but now the people are awake. know. the company got us one by one their debts hope people sold their lands the company wouldn't have been able to come in. we're starting to figure out what's going on. this. is. none of them. much of your advice is centered around the negative aspects of american culture example mindful eating social eating of voiding of snacks how much of an influence do you think this american culture has on the rest of the while incredible. to do two things. in the world this need. the food they did all the
3:59 pm
countries worldwide. the for. the. good.
4:00 pm
while i am here a moscow this is our top stories this morning is the most forces with links to al qaida seize control of the strategic iraqi city of fallujah forcing but government troops there so that we look into what's behind the terrorist networks relentlessly throughout the region. we came here to try to understand how the group's been able to carry out. large scale devastating attacks like the one memory that right here what's behind the rise of our young men and does the us understand. that's. also headlining a hero in the face of terror. she was so brave she didn't even know i was talking to her all the time to meet some man who saved one of the youngest victims of the recent bombings in volgograd this.
