Radical increase in Nigerian oil spills For downloads and more information visit: www.journeyman.tv To see more go to www.youtube.com Follow us on Facebook (goo.gl or Twitter (www.twitter.com It is one of the largest ecological disasters in the world. As a bitter dispute over who is at fault rages, this report takes a powerful grassroots look at 50 years of devastation in the Niger Delta. Aerial shots show vast black islands surrounded by shimmering slicks of oil. This is what much of the Niger Delta looks like after what environmentalists say is "the equivalent of one Exxon Valdez every year". While it is revealed by secret correspondance released by Wikileaks that one minister can siphon off $20 million dollars in bribes from oil companies, local communities are reduced to eating fish meat that tastes of kerosene. This inequality has led to the rise in cases of sabotage of pipelines to get access to crude oil. It is this that the oil companies blame now for the level of pollution. But for ecologists there are no doubts that poor maintenance is far more to blame than the low level sabotage for the fact that the Delta has more than one leak every day. They say the companies consider it cheaper to lose the oil than maintain and protect the pipes. And as the world turns a blind eye, the desperation of the locals intensifies. "There's a vast contrast between what we saw in America, when President Barack Obama was on the side of the people during the Gulf of Mexico spill, and <b>...</b> Related article

The Turkish military reportedly fired at Syria on Saturday morning in response to a mortar from Syria landing near a Turkish farm. If follows a similar incident on Friday. The exchange occurred near the village of Guvecci in Hatay province, according to Turkey's Anadolu Agency. Earlier on Friday afternoon a mortar shell fell near the town of Yayladagi, some 50 meters away from the Syrian border. The Turkish army immediately "fired back at targets" within Syria, Turkish media report quoting officials. No injuries were reported in Turkey from either incident. On Friday, Turkish Prime Minster Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Syria that future attacks on his country's territory would be a "fatal mistake," Reuters reports. "We are not interested in war, but we're not far from war either. This nation has come to where it is today having gone through intercontinental wars," Erdogan said in his speech. "Those who attempt to test Turkey's deterrence, its decisiveness, its capacity, I say here they are making a fatal mistake." The shelling of Turkish territory is done from a Syrian region controlled by rebel forces, which prompts some observers to speculate that the rebels are trying to provoke their ally Turkey into a military intervention against the government of Bashar al-Assad, reports RT's correspondent Paula Slier. The exchange of fire between the two countries follows a similar incident on Wednesday, which left five people dead and eight others wounded.Turkey's artillery pounded <b>...</b> Related article
