government was announced a few days ago. for the first time ever, the state company will function separately from domestic oil it is part of a wide change, in the conference, it creates the ten member supreme council. headed by the kingdom crown prince himself. the objective is to be more transparent and to do it properly, so there is oversight as to how our uncle does his business we have not done such an exercise for much a long time. they are almost synonomous, each is the product of the other. sawdy oil was discovered in 1938 and then, the uncle was founded as an american southdy company and, the company kept the desert kingdom on top of the

list of oil producers. it has the world's largest crude oil. estimate he had 260 billion barrels and the wealth. in 1980, it became a fully saudi company, and it sent the revenues skyrocketing, and the first decade of the century as oil prices continued to rise. they said the move doesn't mean a change in the kingdom's policy and or oil prices, the uncle has been pressured. saudi an arain what, has used it as a political tool, he threatened to cut all exports to, the u.s., and the latest move is a new process by the new

strain from the extra rescue duties. emotionally, our fishermen are exhausted in rescuing men and women at say they're losing more than 3,000 euros a day. it's not fair. some are within sight of the libyan coast and this carries other rervegs. and, he was detained three times, accused of fishing in their waters. he tells me, at the time his boat was hit by machine gunfire and it was the plib we encoast garth telling us to stop, and i had been kidnapped before, and had my boat sink, and i spent six months, in prison and lost 22 kilos and, i thought i'm not going to surrender.

5,000 migrants and europe must have more sympathy for their plight. i'm really worried because i don't feel that italy and europe understand the issue. they're only dealing with the immediate emergency. not the root. these men will soon be returning to sea and play the hero and perhaps euro relies too heavily on them. we're getting a report that two policemen have been killed, fooling anti government protests and they marched in the streets angry over the encumberbent president to seek a third term. the governor, says the ebola outbreak has tarnished its image, and, last year, 400,000 people visited and this is considered a low number for a
