the political sparring in aberdeen coincides with a major report into the u.k. oil and gas industry by former oil tycoon sesir ian wood. major shakeup and a new independent regulatory be set up. the government risks leaving billions of dollars of untapped natural resources under the sea. in aberdeen, independence is more of an emotive issue rather than an economic one. >> london telling scotland what to do and what not to do. >> i believe scotland should become independent yes. >> to decide whether to split potentially ending a 300-year-old union entering uncharted waters. kim panell, al jazeera, aberdeen. >>> spanish enclave from neighboring morocco, armed with sticks and stones, stormed the 6 meter high fence. morocco said six members of its security forces were injured. mostly trying to reach europe via spain. i'll be back with more from europe, later in the news hour, let's go back to. >> more in sports, top table of asian cricket for the first time, we'll have that story and much more. i must begin my journey, which will cause me to miss the end of the game

i'm joined by a political analyst based here in aberdeen.hy is the oil and gas industry so important to the debate? >> it's important because if scotland were to become independent, it would receive 90% of the current oil revenues. clearly that's quite a lot of money. it will also help to cover money that will be lost as a result of independence. >> he has made mention of norway, is there a realistic option for scotland? >> i think clearly the norwegians are a country that have best utilized their own revenues. the problem that scotland would face now is whether it would be possible to save money and build up a pot, if you like, for use in the future, because there will be such considerable pressures on currently revenue spending year to year, so it seems a little bit -- it's not quite clear how both those objectives can be achieved. >> what happens with the oil and gas industry should scotland become independent has been a major issue and perhaps one that voters will be considering. do you think that there's more issues at stake here with t

i could give you a list of scottish strengths, their historic universities like edinburgh aberdeen and glasgow in st. andrews great industries from food processing to financial services from shipbuilding to science. it's not about scotland's strengths as some sort of olds on extra. it's about what we the constituent parts of the night again and can achieve together. the power of collaboration. it is there in our past. when the scottish enlightenment met the industrial revolution intellectual endeavor and commercial might combine to shape global economic ideas. and that power of collaboration is there today. together we are stronger at getting out there and selling our products to the world. like scotch whiskey. whether i am in india or china there is barely a meeting abroad when i don't bang the drum for whiskey abroad. now of course the first minister fights hard for those deals too but the clout we have as united kingdom gives us a much better chance of getting around the right tables, bashing down the trade terriers getting those deals signed. and the results, scotch whiskey as 135

red suv, used at their last robbery, at a safe house the brothers rented about 100 miles away in aberdeen, north carolina. by the time the fbi found it, everything else was gone. >> we never recovered the money from these bank robberies, and there was a total take of approximately $800,000. >> when you break down that amount of money, over that time frame, split maybe three ways, we felt that it would be easy to spend that type of money without a great deal of notice or even if they put it away, which to this day, we don't know. >> ironically, the bellamy brothers lived just across the highway from the robbers roost golf club. in 2000, they were arrested and charged with numerous counts of bank robbery. they pleaded not guilty. but the forensic garment analysis was more than enough to satisfy the jury. >> most of the evidence they had was circumstantial. and this was the only forensic evidence that was basically a fingerprint that was very unique, that pointed to one of the bank robbers. >> all three were convicted. larry and claude were each sentenced to 50 years in the federal penitenti

in my town, aberdeen, we've experienced a huge loss of jobs after the logging industry , with the mass -- and now with the mass influx of immigrants, from all over central and south america, i am not just going to label them as mexicans or colombians or whatever or they are latinos. it seems to me the tend to do a lot of shopping at their own stores, that they are not going to go and shop at a regular american store or they are going to go and buy food that came from their own country instead of foods that come from our country. host: is that a concern? caller: it is a concern of mine. that is one concern, yeah. people come here and immigrate to our country and then spend money they are making in our country on stuff that is coming from their own country. host: ok. congressman? guest: i'm sorry, i'm just at a loss here. i like chinese food. does that make me un-american to go to a local chinese restaurant? or a thai restaurant? or greek restaurant? it is part of america, eating different foods from different countries. if i only each these burgers and hotdogs, that makes me 100% americ

we have the wind and the waves of scotland, decades of north sea experience in aberdeen and with the rest of the u.k., a domestic energy market of tens of millions of people to drive and support these new industries. two years ago we set up the green investment bank. based in edinburgh, it's invested across the u.k, helping a scottish distillery to fit sustainable biomass boilers, financing a new energy center at addenbrooke's hospital in cambridge. this is what happens when we collaborate. we've come through the great recession together. our deficit down by a third. our economy growing. our exports to china doubled. and i believe we stand a much, much better chance of building a more prosperous future together. the third reason we're stronger together is our place in the world. together, we get a seat at the u.n. security council, real clout in nato and europe, the prestige to host events like the g8. together we've got the finest armed forces on the planet. i think of the fighter pilots originally operating from raf lossiemouth who flew sorties over libya, the legendary scottish ti

that is partly way david cameron went to aberdeen to present this to the uk and the bribe if you likeill be more more out of the north sea for scott-land and everyone else so they can support what is needed there. >> reporter: the treasury pointed out tax revenues have fallen from previous years and the economy should be able to absorb absorb the utility but scottland cannot. >> unfairly lowest in the few decades left of north sea oil is still in the sea. the value of this stuff is usually placed around a trillion pounds if you take the total amount of oil and dig all the oil up. that is one part of it and scottland faces a need to get away from dependency on fossil fuels and in the case of scottland this is more urgent but they are a leader relative to the rest of the uk with renewal energy and wind farms all around the coastlines and plants and extension over the next few years and that is the same kind of situation the rest of us case and need to get away from fossil fuels like oil, like gas. >> reporter: a lot of focus on how scottland's economy will go with independence and what

. >> thank you very much, indeed, norman smith in aberdeen for us. >>> severe smog is smothering many of china that. the government has sent out teams of investigators to inspect large victories, including those producing steel, coal and cement to make sure they're not breaching the rules. the chinese government wants to be seen to be improving air quality. one campaign was by an artist. >> inside her freezing house outside beijing, the artist stores hundreds of her paintings. they document every chapter in her personal life. like a visual diary, she explains. >> i used to be a lawyer. but then i became an artist. >> 11 of her canvasses stand apart from the rest. her so-called smog dolly series shows the painters frustration witness stand china's poisonous air pollution. and she's taken them to the streets, handing out face masks last year s. months later she posed with one of the paintings. the photos soon appeared on china's version of twitter. though many posts were deleted by government censors. these are relatively common, particularly when the air is so thick with smog that your

i would like to move on to 1996, aberdeen proving grounds. after the scandal broke, retired colonel ned mars was interviewed by people magazine in which the studies that was conducted in 1982 was discussed. the zero tolerance policy. he had written 14 years earlier. is now 2014. 32 years after that policy was written. we are still given lip service to zero tolerance and command's ability to control and reduce the alarming rate of military sexual assault. clearly zero tolerance has not and is not effective. the military is not just about its leaders. it is not just about the command. it needs to focus and care as much about the lower enlisted and officers. it was suggested by the gentleman on the end, i didn't catch his name, i am sorry, that we give the chain of command another chance. i say 32 years. if you look at it, much longer than that was enough of a chance. if we give them another five years, if we do that, at the current rate of 26,000 sexual assaults reported in 2012, we are allowing a a minimum of another 130,000 soldiers to be pot

in 1996, after the aberdeen ground scandal was recalled to active duty by the secretary of the army. there is adverse public of the where a number of drill sergeants, officers, and others were implicated in having sexual relationships with women in training. when this happened, the secretary decided the way to really get into the heart of what is going on here was to have the panel go forth into the army and measure the human dimensions worldwide. in the next year, our panels, there were 40 of us, went worldwide to 65 installations, interviewed or focus grouped or surveyed over 35,000 troops. family members also. we did a lot of wandering around were ever we were to find out what was the command climate in which we were operating there. in september of 1997, the final report was rendered. i will tell you. it was documented thoroughly. we had 98 behavioral scientist working with us to ensure that our research documents were valid and that the questions were valid. when the report came out and was delivered to the secretary, four major findings occurred. sexual harassment is in the arm

. >> can we make this argument without knowing what the boys at aberdeen proving grounds are working know those things know those things. we can ever the debate in public here about this based on what we see in the unclassified world. i think that you make a good point that the united states military has a huge advantage over almost every other military out there in the world, even combined militaries against us, so we have some room to wiggle in here and we have some room to reduce. we have to remember that underlying the strength of the nation, the security of the nation, which of course is protected by the military, the underlying security and strength is our economic stability, and that is the thing that we are trying to protect by reducing cost. >> on that note, one of the things that the u.s. military does is it protects an awful lot of our allies and secures their borders, as well. with our economy fragile and the world's economy start to go grow, should we not put more burden on the allies overseas? >> yes, we should. i think you're seeing now in the policies, the overseas, t

hundreds of rural communities across country, including aberdeen, watertown and brookings in south dakota, will also continue to be eligible for rural housing programs as a result of a provision i included in the senate-passed farm bill that is maintained in this conference report. i would also lake to highlight provisions to address some key forestry issues important to the fight against the pine beetle in the hills. this bill provides the forest service and forestland owners with critically needed tools and flexibility. this includes permanently authorizing stewardship contracting to combine timber harvests with the needed conservation work building on the pine beetle response project in the black hills by streamlining activities to combat insect and disease epidemics and clarifying the first extension to permitting. these changes provide needed certainty for both private and public forest managers. while i'm overall very pleased with this conference report, there are disappointments. the senior senator from iowa and i have worked for years for meaningful payment limitations. income, we
