watt they don't need any your permission foreign oil industry follows a proper practice is i don't think we'll have a problem but there's always that if me if they don't then we could have an issue in the biggest issue would be to do groundwater as i see it when we live our air in rural areas most of us depend on wells for our our drinking water and all the water we use in our old so if that would happen it would be a very bad thing. i was wrong a fraction john that's where they pump the sand the fluid and you know the chemicals they use as it is one they use a chemical called bio bio it kills all biological elements so so when they pumped out that off in a ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill it any kind of living organism of any kind it kills it because of one of our guy has. got some of it on his

hands and i and i disturb just swallow his hand and we will buy it because that's what my old bio bio kills biological. anything. i'm pretty sure is is wrong in the water. for an issue that is as is the nobody drinks the water out of father from north dakota i think everybody drank so bottled water you know just it's just like you ever. drop water on the out of the faucet night isn't this it. is pretty nasty when where fracking no oil or grease is allowed to be spilled on the ground if you make an a mistake and you drop one cup you have to clean it up and take it away with you it's not polluting north dakota the air is clean the water is clean. the. this is

privately own land this is not government land i mean less the environmental protection agency finds scientific proof that there is real pollution going on they won't be able to shut this down. and so far there is no proof. there's just. propaganda. is it possible to respect safety measures while tracking. down how to pin is advocating this notion in attempt to avoid all risk of polluting groundwater it seems to success is very unlikely either of this the question is me raised to address the intention of anti-fashion groups. one thing is certain the practice of hydraulic fracking to be as large quantities of drinking water. ten young is the owner of eclipse services a company of the facilitates the shipping of water for fracking through pipelines

and provides water storage and its huge tanks as well. these things are used to hold water for the fracking. thirty five thousand barrels and so they'll pump water from one to the other until eventually it's over to the frac and down the hole. it's fresh water all that water thrown in here is coming out of the city water line so it's all clean water. you know that's been millions of dollars on water for one is one of the biggest expenses one of these wells the fresh. water after the frac they just blow up back out of the ground and they all went off to a disposal facility. right here this is called a flare natural gas comes up with the oil and so they have to get rid of it so they just burn it off right here loyal comes out of the pump just. grows on the

ground to the treaters and there it separates the oil the water and the gas this site your produces more water than what they can pipeline out here so i have to come in with a truck intricate out take it to disposal facilities. keep their lives sixty miles out of the list and on fort berthold reservation for black gold flows freely that accounts for one quarter of north dakota's production. this oil field isn't all that good for everybody we have sacred land here we have virgin land here and now there's oil roads and oil fields. at night some of these trucks to drive along gravel roads and they don't poison. rocking water it's all water all the things into the ditch. because they're too

lazy to drive to the dump station and that it's going into our river going into our creeks it's going into our spot on. this is not in the water but it is you know they're not telling the truth. i have twenty nine grandchildren i want them to enjoy this river where i didn't want them to walk in the water i want them to catch a fish you can eat you know want to grow a garden and to do won't have to worry about poison in the plant i want to have plants with their medicine that's not before and now because of the things that are in this water. oil workers are best suited to judge the eventual pollution is caused by fracking. unfortunately this problem is not a priority they are in survival mode first and foremost they are in need of or. during the journey phase radioactive to prepare out back to the surface is a major. a risk for workers and the environment some companies clearly are not

concerned and do not hesitate to dispose of these toxic materials into wild dumps. especially teams are left to ship them back to suitable treatment say it's. in north dakota no one with an oil rich piece of land will tell you that fracking could be an environmental hazard. doing so could jeopardize one of the best ways to get rich quick. of course all beautiful stories have been in rhetoric christmas two thousand and fourteen all science turned red thanks to saudi arabia the staggering fall of the price per barrel of oil put it into the moment if you phoria the us rise in the first produces of crude oil based the shale. we can feel the concern brought by the price cut everywhere and will is to now

shows the science of a boom town going to. people in this town are very very suspicious of oil booms because that almost always comes with a large bust and the bust to be rather difficult and now that i'm a part of this town i'm a little bit worried because we're seeing gas prices start to drop down and i'm wondering what's going to happen to my business because we have a message here. january two thousand and fifteen the price per barrel fell below the crucial fifty dollars mark. in this little town here west and is a major major reason why the price of oil around the world is coming down because the opec countries saudi arabia leading them there they're they're very scared by the. developments in hydraulic fracturing they know that the united states in the past five years went from importing some. like sixty percent of the oil that we use

down to thirty percent and that is a direct result of the hydraulic fracturing that's taken place like here and will stand in a box and in a in other areas they want to put these companies out of business. even if circumstances are worrisome these days i fear that he has not stopped after ten thousand wells we still need to extract the millions of barrels lying beneath the pocket. this situation brings happiness to the ones for him for serious companies but it is devastating to the oil workers who are no longer needed they are thrown out into the streets without pity they must decide whether to go back home or stay liston looking for new jobs. in february twenty fifteen want one of my coworkers i worked with he called me and he said managers late everybody oh. he's in a tell everybody to go to a room get all a stuff in get out and this will two o'clock in the morning at night in february in

the winter. man can't emptied out enclosed from one day to the next. these dilapidated barracks will probably pollute the landscape for eight years to come. construction sites for abandoned by the dozen and left to rest and. housing construction began at the peak of the willis to whom is now nearly complete . occupied in part by survivors of the good the neighborhood seems sadly empty.

even with the downturn in the economy. boil prices. i can still make more money than i can back home. just. now as much they used to. i consider myself fortunate because i still have a job just talk no friend just yesterday he got laid off so he's got to go back to louisiana to find find work. because there are not too many people hiring to. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us in the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

dallas. dollars. dallas. i mean the dollar value is what i believe. we got carried away here we care the music with us. we are here with a drag here. mind you not going to get rid of those who will not go away we will not die quietly. real the heart of what we do is the true.

i'm this young the lying circumstances that allowed for the emergence of this very very long form violence i think that we may get the sons and even grandsons of died at some point in the future it's primarily a political issue in iraq that has taken on the military the army for occasions. u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circuit events officer says we're got to act and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and

willing to risk being killed for a war then surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy miss for us. it's hard. but i. am really good money in our goals off the memory of all to help our children out. our true critter very work.

just something that has to be do. you know that it's just like this job to you know two nights ago i wanted to go home i was tired. but. the roof was high tanks we had to hold the water otherwise that the well shut down and. people get upset so. you do what you have to do. in the oil. adults has slowed down but still steady and you know

doing just well doing three jobs every day of the week. don't show up it's work about sixty eight hours. in the day for the guy doing construction maybe five or six. and this he's now working out three or four making the sandwiches and. i write this place to adam for only three hundred fifty dollars a month he has the whole downstairs to himself. which is a little bit messy. he had to

leave california because there's no jobs why is there no jobs there's too many mexicans to do the job i was doing for half the price. you know how many donuts oh. wow. i've done more for. the borders twenty four doesn't. i'm encouraging out of to save some money. so that he can move his family here and put a deposit first and last month's rent on an apartment he's a good father he misses a little girl you know. missed. forward

. when oil reached twenty nine dollars a barrel we weren't doing anything march was a bad month but now it's suddenly picked up to forty dollars a barrel and we're busy again the companies have done so much cost cutting and efficiency that if the price goes to fifty it will be like it used to be eighty. the rig counts the number of rigs drilling new holes in the ground has gone way down from over two hundred to i think thirty five rigs active in the block and. as time goes on without new wells being drilled and frats our one point one million barrels a day will go down naturally slowly in some point in the two to five years there will be a supply and demand reversal whereas now we're oversupplied will be under supplied and the price will shoot up. between now and then it will go like this and at some

point it will go up. and if the price go ever goes to one hundred and it will some day north dakota will be crawling with workers looking for housing and there will be a huge labor shortage the companies will be throwing money at us. now we're mostly working for folks who have oil rigs oil pumps on their land and they have those monthly checks coming in from the oil companies and they're spending money on their homes. or lot of people have disappeared out here gone back home i guess i know some are gone back to the bozeman big sky erika's constructions doing ok there some went back to minneapolis some to idaho but yeah a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore they're all gone just slow down too much they lost their jobs got laid off so couldn't put in the hours a lot of families to

a lot of guys in the oil business the higher ups the guys making more money they've gone to south america and the middle east so they'll be back i guess someday but. what apologies for interrupting our programs that we can go live now in today's been lara correspondent is talking to the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman marie it's the kind of india i would see. ok well it's hopefully in the can here is a. andrew

loeb you're absolutely right the press conference of the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has just wrapped up in lisbon. yes i can hear you well andrew let me just repeat that once again the press conference of the russian top diplomat surrogate has just wrapped up in the portuguese capital and there were two really important issues brought up during the press conference is of course the script all scandal all the press conferences have questions about that and besides this some of the latest comments by a senior official in the british army who said that the threat that is currently posed by russia to europe is more serious than that of islamic state and as you mention and right here hot on the heels of that press conference is the spokeswoman

of the russian foreign ministry marie has a hard maria hold thank you so much the important thing that we heard from sergei lavrov sports callie was that portugal does not see eye to eye with the u.k. on that do you think this kind of approach will get more popular in europe the fact that there are actually divisions over the way they see the these kind of issues with russia i think that all the countries are in the states at the portal is a lot. of independent country with. policy i mean domestic and foreign policy of course it's a member state e.u. it's a member of international community but still we hope that all the countries in the world have their own views on what is going on and of course then they can and have to cooperate with we with each other but they issued. fulls

a drone independent courses so what is what the london is doing is trying to build so-called coalitions and call for how they call it to be to be supportive to support london in they have foreign policy but what should other countries support all this fake news all the. disinformation what london prime minister may and her our government does spreading i'm not sure this is a good way for the independent countries and i'm not sure other countries are willing to do so and fall in this route this is the second destination of your delegation in europe you also well you've also been to rome earlier this week do you feel that any other major european powers are ready to follow sort of see the

portuguese example in this kind of approach you know we are watching this approach for several years where bob likely because of so cold. sure wouldn't you who are foreign policy course some countries and lots of countries sexually not want hard to many countries. are announcing joint foreign policy support some sanctions against russia but when we're holding. when we're like watching each other and holding meetings all was always i can assure you for several years that this is not something where a meeting that right now that was for several years they are. very honest that they're actually hired for. being involved in this war

a policy that that is not their choice at all that they have for a couple aeration there for normalization or world international if years and therefore resulting problem if we have ones in the normal way using diplomacy but it seems from the things that are being said by some of the major european leaders that this kind of tactic will continue to prevail for example the german chancellor angela merkel just recently said that she's absolutely sure that the member states of the european union will have to give up some of their sovereignty to ensure a united europe in that case. i'm sorry for interrupting interrupting you but the thing is that what america is saying it's not the future it's not the present it's the past they all radio lost their severe and here and when i'm

talking with my for example french colleagues and friends they're very disappointed with the foreign policy of the last three years when fronts became not this sort of an air i mean not independence i mean if we're talking about foreign policy stayed but a center lights said a lot of room of chorus of their older brother washington and that that is something which really does appoint them and francis not the only country and what about russia is it easier for moscow to deal with the european countries that are giving up parts of their sovereignty or rather what angle merkel sees as a united europe actually this is their choice and for us where i think that you know our position that we are taking take their choice i mean because of i just want to underline it one more time where dealing with independence and. if they're

choosing that way or another that this is up to them but one thing to be constructive we want them not to be spoilers in international affairs but to be. to be partners actually all this international war all this document's agreements which we're. still signing there for helping countries to communicate with each other to bill it's normal our peaceful world to to to to develop this world in the interest of our peoples but not to spoil everything so it's up to them to choose the way of developing their countries to be more independent less independent or not to be independent old to be just independent members of some argue his ations or to be not independent not members of our going his nations or units it's up to them to decide and up to the people of

that country is to vote for that of those politicians well deal with independent states in any case but we are for cooperation based on international law maria i just want to bring up some of the other important issues you mentioned france and i can tell you that recently our sister channel r.t. france was finally allowed into the elysee palace but the fries surprise for her mines they were being refused a critic is it also thanks to the efforts of the russian diplomats now i think. you can come back to reality. to anything you want not to take their reality as a reality you can leave in this surreal world but still i think that will you will and i think this is the case i just want to mention one thing that. for a year or a year and a half we were hearing from paris that they are not. today it's putting as media

just because they are not media they are like propaganda machine and so i just want to mention one thing. please and i am addressing this to paris and to my colleagues please. name point somebody from france who are working for example with. us or are making reports about what is going on there just to presume the world and for example to inform french media what is going there i mean all the shit sentients are about ukraine and all the european policy toward russia is on what is going on over how many french media is working there just to preserve independent position and independent information and pieces of news in about what is going in that part of ukraine i'm not sure that there are

even like couple of people and i want to stress one more time that russia today is putting their. and they're making their reports they're visiting that place same situation about syria this is the hottest place on earth not probably the only hottest place on earth but one of the most hottest places on earth and i know that russia today is working there and not russian so-called propaganda or spies so called propaganda journalists but real locals i mean real local journalists who are working for russia today as correspondents or are dealing with russia today as correspondents and independent journalists they are working in hardest parts of syria to bring pieces of news and pieces of reality to the world screens how many people from france media and french media are working for example in aleppo or in need lip so this

is this is it this is the answer for that question who are or who are not propaganda journalists i think i'm not sure that russia today are i mean. has no things to improve of course when for a fact i mean nobody's perfect as we know but i think. your what you are doing and what we're doing a fool several last years in different parts of the world proved finally proved to the world that you are correspondents and of course you shoot move that way and you should be in the places and in the situations where when people need not only alternative information but just basic information because several years ago when aleppo.
