Father fights oil giant BP over son's death in legal first | BBC News
A father has started legal action against UK oil giant BP over the death of his 21-year-old son.
Hussein Julood alleges the burning off of gas at a BP-run oil field in Iraq - a practice known as flaring - caused his son Ali's leukaemia.
A BBC World Service investigation in 2022 found Ali's village, which lies within the field, had high levels of cancer-causing pollutants known to come from flaring.
BP said "we understand the concerns" and are supporting change.
The case is believed to be the first time an individual has started legal action against a major oil firm over its flaring practices.

Shame on you BP for not taking responsibility of your actions!!!
jokes on you they never will, nor will they pay taxes.
His son, and the whole earth is dying due to the pollution and greed.
@Watch.My.Playlistdepends how you define the earth and dying. There are unprecedented levels of microplastic and air pollution, species decline, ocean acidification. Eight million people per year die from direct air pollution deaths, those are the ones we know about.
Omg and uks prime minister family is involved with BP? This is discusting!!!!!!!!
Don’t forget the Deepwater Horizon incident, it was BP’s fault. They’re the worst.
Tragic, BP and all polluters, must be held to account. RIP young man.
They’ll write him a check, wrapped in an NDA, and keep going.
prolly not for an arab.
Too late for NDA
In this world, might is right. Nothing else matters. BP is a powerful giant whereas this man is just a normal man.
But regular men bring attention and group discrimination... it's helpful
BP, formerly known as the Anglo-Persian oil company which is at the root of these problems going back 70+ years.
Amazing how these Western oil & chemical companies have different safety standards in their homeland compared to developing countries. Look at how international oil companies have ruined the Nigeria delta with their negligence.
If you watch the video, it states the field is owned by Basrah Petroleum, BP is merely a shareholder
@@lolitaalmostgrown and who do you think sells the product? have you taken a look at their oil revenues recently? It sure aint iraqis paying for those oil, not that they have anything to pay with in the first place lmao.
Like Saudi, chinese and russians have more safety concerns about these people XDXD
@@pieroo7 considering this does not happen in those countries, yes. apparently so.
BP, shame on you!! 🤬🤬🤬
Maybe if BP started keeping our oil here instead of shipping it all over the world, and in the process making it so we don't have to import any, the world could be a cleaner place.
May there be no more tragic deaths such as those of this wonderful son.
they should just move from there ; living next to an oil production factory is no good
Fossil fuels should have been phased out yesterday.
In which case civilisation would have ground to a halt.
@@grahambell4298 isnt that better than going extinct?
@@prithviraj8776 You want to go back to living in the stone age? Oh - and 99% of species that have ever lived became extinct before the human race existed.
Doesn’t matter where you are, the pollution is everywhere. Even the radiation from power lines and wifi is affecting you each day.
they are non-ionizing radiation

Shame BP!!! The some, air mu be horrible!!! They should take a responsibility, giant idiots!!! Money takes over, nobody cares for human lives!!! Rest in peace angel 👼🏻
BP=British Petroleum just in case you don't know
Wow that flaring looks horrific cant imagine living close to that :( Poor kid.
Shame on Iraq.
He should go after the Saudi not only BP.. But we know it is more easy to receive money from the West than his muslim "brothers".
What has Saudis got to do with it, you píg? Was it Saudis that invaded Iraq and stole the oil?
What's Saudi got to do with it.
Did you understand anything?
Why is this fault of BP and not the fault of his country allowing such work near the living area. Why people so negative to BP? His country is responsible for that, not BP. Also it's a question if this could cause any health issues. There should be more injured people. Any other company could get oil from their land if it's by contracts. Everything else is the responsibility of his country
The company is the expert and knows full well what it is doing. It is liable.
Shilling for BP is absolutely pathetic.
@@apex9806 no, it doesn't work like that. You are a foreign company. You can do whatever you can but only in scope of law of the country and your contract.
@@Nirawen why? They just mining resources. Another thing some crappy countries where there is no law and now right for anyone except rich companies. But it's not really a problem of rich company... It's a problem of the country and their stupid government
Get in line....
Justice be made🙏🏻✨
His son a flute hiding under Islam
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Corinthians 15:3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
