5:47 am
see we see the fish there. but we can't catch them because of the foreign ships. with both eighty percent of our needs and animal protein is provided by fish. the day the fish disappear. could deliver food safety of the senegalese will be endangered if. the peanut boats and fishing are going to have always been at the heart of the life of the town's inhabitants but the good you see here we are born among fishermen they become fisherman who do we do this year our whole. lives revolve around fishing but.
5:48 am
what is it even babies from the cradle their first toys a boat you can grow. a lot of the age of four to five they have a boat and go swimming with good luck with that up to. nine or ten and they go out to sea. all our lives from the cradle to the grave we fish. on the graves you will see fishing nets pieces of wood from boats which shows that fishing is a cultural thing it could if you knew it when they take away the boats and the fishing from us they take away our lives to live that.
5:49 am
her. as one who did not put money in the bank for the future. to be competitive. as we live day by day we spend whatever money we have been for one hundred to solve our problems. one to me good when you when i come back from fishing you might give away the first piece. there's employment in my list second one is for my family and the rest is for selling. one of. we realize. that you.
5:50 am
cannot but you might not have a single koinonia if you come to the sure with nothing but your basket you would know men to be when the boats arrive they'll give the fish all to go do what will be but if you look within it's a social tax if you're an old fisherman and can't go out fishing anymore it must be since there is no organized social security well you can but they will always give you fish for you to sell this is so that is your pension. and if. you need to move toward a new ticket when decision arrives the merchant by eat and the women like the rest of the fish which would otherwise be thrown back into the seat they preserve it so that the people would be able to eat decision of some day the fisherman can go out to the sea. also give to other areas and that is very important to end there is no fish.
5:52 am
monitoring fishing by the side of the last couple of days and found by fishing a legally. or illegally in the past now we have fisheries and speak to us on board. and we'll continue to patrol the area and a race to anybody that of course fishing illegally. i. want to you know the way you look after. me out.
5:53 am
here we're trying to make element it's not of them we'll get you know a little more you know not on board this train no he's not on the list. tell him. it's very good for him now to be able to do whatever we want to snout if not we're going to stay here and buck will come to this he will go and who i was the who took him in our ship we've got we've got him and this you can throw off. p.c.'s and there are a missing without the license. they never inspected the told civilians were told to come that far from shore because they know that you know and so i don't have the means to them that's. the one said but she's. arrested right doesn't sound they're doing exactly the same never again.
5:54 am
and biggest issue that you know how to get sometimes i can see foreign ships here i just made that up but there's nothing i can do apart from reporting them to decca if. play. it out if we call decca. but the ship would have left before they have time to arrive. the same even when we had a small ship here they had time to escape it so you really couldn't put it that
5:55 am
means they have watchman here you know and in deca. to confuse what we do now is not important importance will be. in peace we are unable to fight those ships and people to see to glow but they are big ships armed ships faster than our patrol is would put to you because of the fear i've been on was that we had made an appeal to our friends our friends will move but they won't move don't couldn't move as long as we don't have to ask patrols are as well armed as those ships there's nothing we can do against illegal fishing.
5:56 am
you know we have even caught european and american friends. but until now there is absolutely nothing for him for they only say they are informed and that they are sorry but until now none of these states have provided ships with you in order to pursue those pirate ships. by changing their mandate from prosecuting a law. saying no forcing law enforcing national security quote unquote it just means that they give them the right to break the law for corporations security agendas written by corporations in the energy policy written by energy companies the agricultural policy written by monsanto this surveillance policy and
5:57 am
prison policy written by corrections core of america so the f.b.i. serves those corporate masters now they can break any law they want so they can serve their masters under the rubric of national security which is a joke. since what you are arguing for is that kurds should put that ethnic identity above that national identity let me ask you a personal question. a current first or an iraq it first occurred first then i'm iraqi i am not iraqi kurds because let me ask you that question from. the you know i still remember the smell of the chemical weapons so what iraqi identity both iraqi and into brought to me the killings of people great four thousand five hundred villages were destroyed.
5:58 am
what they're trying to do know is still another myth to us which is that one group of slightly less radical fundamentalists are no attacking. and taking care of them who is the major supporter of these groups i mean they have to get money and arms and training from somewhere in the country that's been named so far in this program is saudi arabia what is their role in all this i think it's a little bit. i don't be pfizer's. own reasons with the american. position because the government is preferring to try to. run away of the future when the those groups really. it's quite clear.
5:59 am
i think that the fact that these weapons can fly semi autonomous lead for seven thousand miles to the locations we're unfortunately my military and the cia are attacking people in countries with which we are not at war to me is simply horrifying and as many you know already argue it's a violation of international law it's assassination i do not support the sasa nation by my government period. we can. choose to use the consensus you can. choose to continue to. choose the stories that imply. choose p.x.
6:00 am
often. going tunnel by a prison tons twelve on the military celebrates with information a blackout while ryan stocks of its unsolved bond as well the annual launch of the white house. your vision sees a continent and competitors as more countries say that report to take part in the flagship plan european song contest. also iran scored some points in the west of the e.u. praises the progress of nuclear talks while even the white house defines tehran from sanctioning minded senators. trying to promise it in the u.k. as a new report finds more than a million britons students have given the thing to prince just so they can eat in to school canteen home for a library book.
