in the very heart of moscow. a slick cleanup a u.s. town struggles to remove rivers of oil from its streets after. more than ten thousand barrels of crude. unjust and reasonable the u.k. government with a widely criticized housing benefit cut giving millions of the spin room out of pocket. readily printer american far as enthusiastic on the verge of creating a three d. printed gun raising fears that giving a weapon will simply become a matter of click and print.

around the world and around the clock with news and comment. on the streets of the u.s. a town in the state of arkansas have been deluged by over ten thousand barrels of crude oil off an exxon mobile pipeline burst on friday around two thousand homes have been evacuated with some residents forced to stay away for several more days operation continues ortiz washington correspondent 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 put 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 two homes were evacuated there as they're still cleaning up the pipeline that was carrying canadian heavy crudes to the south of the u.s. to the country's gulf coast refineries this latest spill onto the media response from critics of the proposed keystone x.l. pipeline the keystone 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 giant's involved are pushing the administration very hard to go ahead with it saying it will bring down fuel costs in the u.s. trans canada is first keystone line in the us spilled the 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 leapt into the gulf that three years later the gulf is still not free in july two thousand and ten a pipeline brought 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 suggests that axe. mobile paid 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 and montana exxon has a month to contest the violations many believe that oil giants 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 company 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 that. all this latest oil spill in a small u.s.

town has once again raised questions about environmental hazards of musing over the pipelines and transports increasing large amounts of oil across the continent financial consultant and star says the pegasus pipeline is long past its sell by date there's no excuse what so ever 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 bitumen it's called dill 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 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 next noble spokesman said that no problems were detected in the almost sixty five year old pipeline was last checked the company was fined in twenty ten for not inspecting another portion of the same route frequently enough global trends will cost a total so then take predicts they'll be more oil spills same the u.s. is investing more in its wars overseas and improving its eroding infrastructure become one after another this atrocity after atrocity whether it's all i will 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 to 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 is keeping it from breaking down further the united states has more important things to do than worry about the infrastructure worry about spilled oil it has wars 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. just ahead we find out how hot off the presses may be about to take on a new deadly meeting new reports on how three d. printing could be twisted to produce our homes at the home.

of a growing number of detainees on hunger strike at guantanamo outcry in support of the protest is being heard far from the infamous detention center under the activists relatives of some ninety yemeni prisoners held in the camp demonstrating outside the u.s. embassy in the capital so no demanding the prisoners be released and spent more than a decade behind bars without trial many prisoners are among those on hunger strike to make up the launch is contingent on the one hundred sixty six inmates their lawyers say the hunger strike in guantanamo is approaching some of these knives and wrist recusing u.s. authorities of downplaying the actual number of those refusing to eat. they are calling for for the majority of those who are of where actually can find and get mobile 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 afghanistan by the united states 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 held there or they are here already 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 when we have it of course are outraged at 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 out 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 there both of them have participated in the hunger strikes and given all before and both of them have been forced to bed and again the

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 the we're looking at a situation which is spiraling out of hand as people in the countries from which the inmates are there are starting to support the people and they are literally outraged at the way that their compatriots are being treated. out of touch study reveals one in seven british and painters never had a real job outside of politics right or wrong we take a look at the polls political richest what on politicians rushed to understand the troubles of a tough stop. for. a first package of severe austerity cuts has been introduced in britain millions of households are

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 their meager efforts at gun control. r.t. new york. next to max and stacey have this say on the latest financial headlines in the kaiser.
