on those issues, shell will not be able to appeal this. phil: given that the oil leak happened in nigeria, why did this court case happen in the netherlands? >> first, the oil pollution in nigeria has been gng on for decades already. it is severely difficult for the nigerian people to get justice in niger, and even if some of them may win a case on in a while, they have not been able to actually change the behavior of shell in nigeria. that was one of the reasons these poor farmers decided to go to court, hoping they could force some actual change. phil: this presumably then opens the door to more such cases? i'm guessing there were more than just for farmers affected by this spill? >> yes, that is true. e court has ruled already that shell is liable for victims of the spills that were dealt with in this case. it is very well possible there will be more oil spill victims in nigeria who will try to seek justice in a way similar to this, which does not say that it is an easy way to get your justice from now on. of course, it has been a very

the 37 millimeter or 1.5 in long-range projectile shell weighs 22 ounces.ghly effective in right control, it can be dropped into a mob from a considerable distance. with an effective range of 3200 yards, it will spew over a 20 foot circle, six seconds after it leaves the muzzle of the gas gun. it's aluminum casing opens along a scored line, without shattering. eliminating the possibility of injury from flying metal there. the one and a half inch short-range defense shell his use where immediate and direct action is necessary at close range. to avoid possible injury from the wanting contained in the short-range shell, the gun should be pointed at the feet of the person, at home the gas is directed. gas is blasted directly from the gun muzzle and is immediately at effective to a distance of 35 feet in still air. at that distance, the gas will spread approximately 15 feet. again, with the short range shell, the blast is directed at the feet of the crowd. the super long-range barricade gas projectile shell fired from the true pleitgen has an effective range of

a demonstration with a smoke-filled shell proves true flight's capacity for saturation. projectile has sufficient weight and velocity to penetrate light board partitions. with such power, it is, of course, a lethal weapon, and if fired directly at a person might cause serious injury or death. there is no fire hazard involved in the use of lake erie grenades and projectiles. gas is instantaneously discharged as a nonflammable vapor and cannot cause fire. the gas mask is essential equipment for those who must occupy the area where tear gas is present. light and compact, its rubberized face piece fits snugly without irritation. large, shatterproof lenses are adjacent to deflector tubes which prevent fogging. the aluminum canister provides a large surface area for easy breathing. the wearer is able to move into contaminated areas without ill-effect. since gas will drift with air currents, it is important to consider wind conditions in the field and to use these air currents to advantage. smoke-filled munitions are used again so that we may easily follow the drift of the vapo

control, the standard long-range projectile shell or the super long range projectile.ause it is designed for use where a high degree of accuracy is required, this projectile is equipped with stabilizing fins. >> in a special kit available for immediate use is a complete assortment of gas munitions including projectiles and grenades. is mask, light, compact and efficient, is mandatory equipment for those who much occupy the area in which gas is to be used. >> psychologically important is the fact that teargas itself is invisible. it's difficult to avoid what you can't see. and there's greater fear of a concealed opponent. lake erie supplies munitions with invisible gas. a smoke grenade is used here so that the affected area can be identified. if a vapor cloud can be seen, it may also be avoided. classroom instruction on the use of teargas will provide the student with basic information, but there is no substitute for field training. on the range, practice sessions with a competent instructor will demonstrate how each of the various types of munitions are discharged. her

how of the farmers now one could shell still fight this. well theoretically show could still go to discrete supreme court internet and ems. but that will not be that easy because the supreme court will only deal with issues of national and this case has a lot she really been a matter of fact and also it has been dealt with on the basis of nigeria and more so. on those issues she will not be able to appeal this and ok and given the oil the cap and in nigeria and the farmers a nigerian why did this court case happen in the netherlands well of course is oil spills and you have pollution nigeria has been going on for decades already and it's. really difficult for the nigerian people to get justice in nigeria and even if some of them may win a case once in a while they haven't been able to actually change the behavior of shell in ensuring so that was reason that these 4 promise and you know your defense the n.g.o.s. decided to go to the courts in remembrance hoping that they could really for some actual change. so this presumably then opens the
