shell has been forced to admit that more than two hundred tonnes of crude oil has leaked into the north sea it's said to be the worst spill in british waters in more than a decade it began last wednesday but it was only knowledge by the company two days later and ramsay from the u.k. based people and planet student organization think shell and the government i think complicit in the oil industry coverup specialities. i think the people who are used to dealing with shell wouldn't be surprised at all about the lack of communication it's worth remembering that it was only a few days ago that they admitted the years of lawyers and cover up their role in the enormous spills across nigeria this company has never let the truth or in fact people's lives will be environment in the way of getting the way of the profit margin so so i think we certainly don't know for sure how bad it is but we do know that this is a serious bill we know for certain. the worst spill in this country in a decade i've seen very little coverage at all and i'm saddened to say that i'm not
3:07 am
at all surprised how little coverage has been of this also as i said biggest in ten years but it's important to remember the u.k. government and the scottish government opposed to a long history of being hand in hand and in the pockets of the old industry in this country and so with the government to the only other potential moments of the history of the county to keep it quiet from the shell peculiarly not talking about it it's not surprising that the media covering it again and again not surprising but very sad as you say a major incident really not reported in the u.k. press. well the british oil industry's track record still in a shaky state even though this oil spill is far less than the catastrophe in the gulf of mexico which happened back in april of twenty ten eleven people were killed in that disaster and almost five million barrels of oil spewed into the ocean. and coverage of that devastation it's on line for you.

3:10 am
friends or family for a match when those options are exhausted rogue doctors or hospital staff can introduce the recipient to a broker usually a former illegal donor too who can scout nearby poor neighborhoods for someone who is willing to see. well they're kidney and go under the nice. biker lives for the most part of it so there's got to this the law. also brought a blind eye to this happening to transplants from the donor to the recipient take place in the hospital simultaneously the donor ends up making a little over a thousand dollars while the brokers can profit almost double that. now that i went to the broker he said he will give me fifty thousand rupees for my kidney it was supposed to be much more but the broker cheated us the donors also frequently are robbed of their health by different i used to run around and work

3:13 am
there has to be some sort of consistency to its value day to day it can be worth less tomorrow than it is today otherwise the means of which we measure goods and services is subject to the whims of the federal reserve of the us and i think the world is is skeptical of that so whether we have a gold standard or not if governments don't figure out how to spend or live within their means you're going to continue to see gold take the lion's share of the increase or the appreciation and you're going to see currencies like the dollar decline in value and america's workers have already angered the largest holder of its debt china now vice president joe biden is heading to beijing on a reassurance mission on wednesday who says that he is the investment adviser in hong kong says washington's troubles are too big for its asian partner to stop boring. china is extremely skeptical they must be very worried if i was the biggest holder of u.s. treasuries i'd be worried too because the u.s. is in a terrible situation the budget deficit is piling out of control assume most eight
