a slick clean up for us town struggles to remove rivers of oil from its streets after a pipeline spews more than ten thousand barrels of crude. just an unreasonable the u.k. government plans on with a widely criticized housing benefit leaving millions with a spare room out of pocket. and comment twenty four hours a day watching our team. the streets of a u.s. town in the state of arkansas have been more than ten thousand barrels of crude oil after an exxon mobile pipeline burst on friday around two dozen homes have been

evacuated and some residents forced to stay away for several more days when a cleanup operation continues what is washington correspondent karen has the details. exxon mobil is naturally trying to downplay environmental concerns they're not saying exactly how much oil spilled onto the streets of that neighborhood in arkansas but the company says it has already collected more than twelve thousand barrels of oil mixed with water from the affected area not clear how much of it was water though twenty three homes were evacuated there as they're still cleaning up the pipeline that was carrying canadian heavy crude to the south of the u.s. this is the country's gulf coast refineries this latest spill response from critics of the proposed keystone x.l. pipeline he's down x.l. pipeline would carry eight hundred thousand barrels per day just to compare the pipe that leaked in arkansas can carry around ninety thousand barrels a day so the consequences of a leak could be devastating the keystone pipeline would also carry canadian heavy

crudes to u.s. refineries in the south the project doesn't have the final green light from the administration just yet but the oil giants involved are pushing the administration very hard to go ahead with that saying it will bring down fuel costs in the u.s. trans canada is first keystone line in the u.s. spilled the diesel a dozen times just in its first year of operation the company of course says the new keystone x.l. will be so much better but people know from experience how devastating consequences of an oil spill can be and how hard it is to clean up this is certainly not the first incident of course everyone remembers the disaster in the gulf of mexico in twenty ten when after an explosion and he had been leaking oil on the ocean floor for several months before the well was tapped an estimated four point nine million barrels of oil had leaked into the gulf three years later the call is still not

free in july two thousand and ten the pipeline brought the church speed more than twenty thousand barrels of canadian tar sands crude oil into the michigan waterway so this happens all the time just last week the government suggest that axe. mobile . a fine of one point seven million dollars over pipeline safety violations and that was for an oil spill two years of college in the yellowstone river in montana exxon has a month to contest the violations many believe that it will jockey get away with violations like that all too often in the west and all it takes is a team of really good lawyers to do that which the companies certainly have and that at the end of the day it's the people affected will pick up the slack in washington i'm going to check them. next on the spokesman said no problems were detected when the almost sixty five year old pipeline was last checked the company was finding twenty ten for not inspecting another portion of the same route frequently enough environmental consultant richard steiner says the pegasus

pipeline has run its course a long time ago there's no excuse whatsoever for oil pipelines to be anything over thirty years old or general design life is maybe twenty to thirty years there's been several spills about six or seven of this heavy diluted bit timid it's called dil bit which is the tar sand oil which is so thick it can't be transported through a pipeline unless it's cut with condensate and benzene exxon has shown time and time again that they are not willing to accept responsibility legitimate financial responsibility for their actions however or negligent they are they got out of the alaska spill with you know about a billion dollars paid to private thirty thousand private litigants that should have been by many of their estimations much much more than that so they have a history of short changing responses. well the spill has stoked worries about

environmental hazards of using aging pipelines to transport launch amounts of crude oil from canada as it's increasingly becoming the preferred method of transport across the continent global trends full costa gerald celente predicts they'll be more oil spills so the u.s. is investing more in its wars overseas and improving its eroding infrastructure back home one after another this atrocity after atrocity whether it's or oil big oil or banks too big to fail the word justice in america is being misspelled it's j u.s.t. the us just us not them look what happened with the gulf of mexico it's been destroyed for how many probably you know how many hundreds of years the stuff as it's us evaporate look at the united states infrastructure according to the american society of civil engineers it's going to take an estimated three trillion dollars just to bring the american infrastructure system up to par that's not

improving it best is keeping it from breaking down further the united states has more important things to do and worry about the infrastructure whether he had doubts build loyalty it has was to fight overseas so we're going to see more and more of this because you have to understand who regulates this it's not being regulated these are very low level regulatory agencies that control or oil and of course there is that revolving door all things are connected and the connection is corporations are running the show. well just ahead we find out how hot off the presses may be about to take on a new deadly meaning as we're also on how three d. printing could be twisted. with a growing number of detainees on hunger strike at guantanamo an outcry in support

of the protest is being heard far from the infamous detention center on just of activists and relatives of some ninety yemeni prisoners held in a camp demonstrated outside the u.s. embassy in the capital sanaa demanding the detainees release more than a decade behind bars without trial there many prisoners are among those on hunger strike and make up the largest contingent of the detention centers one hundred sixty six inmates lawyers say the hunger strike in guantanamo is putting some of the detainees lives at risk accusing us of orators of downplaying the actual number of those refusing food or teas or going to the school reports. they're calling for for the majority of those who are of where actually can find and get moment jordi of those inmates are actually from yemen and most of them have been there for more than a decade ever since the invasion of ghana stunned by the united states the even the yemeni government itself has actually issued a request to the u.s.

government asking it to send the yemeni prisoners to sanaa the capital of yemen so they could at least be tried or hill there or their hero or for possibly hearing to be held there as well but that request has been heard or at least it hasn't been hasn't received any response from washington so the people in the habit of course are outraged that their compatriots who as you have as we have mentioned how some of them have been cleared of all charges are being held in prison and they're starving themselves just to prove their point and these are not the only protests that we have seen across the region you may say there's also been numerous protests in kuwait on sunday now there are two kuwaiti nationals being held it gets mo. they're both they both of them have participated in the hunger strikes and given all before and both of them have been forced to bed and again lawyers for them as well are saying that their situation is just as dire. as that of the other detainees who are dissipating in the hunger strike and it is clear that they

actually are prepared to die before their requests are being met so we're looking at we're looking at a situation which is spiraling out of hand to people in the countries from which the inmates are they're starting to support the people and they are literally outraged at the way that their compatriots are being treated. struggling on the painful bailed out terms unprecedented bank limits separate so now playing the blame game in an attempt to find those responsible for the crisis investigative commission which will look into how the ardennes economy was driven to breaking point is to be sworn in on tuesday the most damning indictment some table out of millions of euros that were apparently moved out of the country just prior to the levy proposals and bank deposit local media are pointing the finger at seven divisions and companies including one cohen by the place and son in law also

be hard to discover the truth. this quiet from the north atlantic countries about this chemical attack speaks volumes that speaks loudly because we all know that if this chemical attack could be pinned on the damascus regime of president all saw that they would have been shouting from the rooftops about it the fact that they're now quiet about it i think says all that we need to know if the investigation is relative to that united nations security council it is possible to have experts from beijing and moscow on the ground investigating but we all know that the rebels and their backers in turkey and in israel and in guts or and in saudi arabia or putting on a full court press we all saw what happened at the arab league meeting this past week where they were able to maneuver the rebels to take the heat of the all assad regime we all know about the recent on talk between turkey and israel which does

not bode well for a peaceful resolution of the syrian crisis therefore it seems to me that an attack of this chemical in an investigation of this chemical attack moscow and beijing in particular manager who are just. now some other news making headlines around the well the south. that teen boys have been killed in a in this lennox school in douma tree in the capital city of only hours of tuesday morning officials confirm the people's die from suffocation electrical fault is believed to spot the blaze which is being linked to recent clashes between buddhists and muslims in the country. it wasn't so. it's just a small town in the u.s. state of georgia has just passed a law requiring every household to own a gun decision was unanimously approved and is or ten percent of gun rights that were bothered in the station appear to scream massacre. at the same time in texas

background checks that will make it harder for criminals to get their hands on a gun meanwhile just last month wilson became a federally licensed gun manufacturer and dealer they're bypassing the debate there rendering the debate irrelevant whatever laws make about of this discussion this sort of ability to manufacture objects and plenty of firearms on a localized centralized basis means the law really won't matter the law may say that something is illegal but if you can turn to a device that's on your desktop and manufacture that at will with nobody knowing that you've done so then the law doesn't matter at all with a reported three hundred million guns in circulation the u.s. has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world and the second highest rate of deaths by firearms among industrialized nations. and just as lawmakers are finalizing new legislation that would tighten the nation's all too easy access to firearms. experts claim that technology will ultimately outpace
