b.p. and the coast guard after the deepwater horizon spill in april two thousand and ten their expertise studying the ocean was needed so using robotic submarines that to study the flow of oil from the cracked well they determined at the spill released four point nine million barrels of crude into the gulf but it's because b.p. is engaged in costly lawsuits battling government fines at the local state and federal levels while they are house camilli and ready to turn over their findings so the two scientists first said that they volunteered more than fifty thousand pages of documents raw data reports algorithms all used in their research research that was thoroughly vetted and as committee explained in september of two thousand and ten in congressional testimony. you know order to avoid subjective boise's or actually misrepresentation we've made a conscious conscious decision to present findings publicly only after scientific really rigorous vetting or peer review. now despite all that this massive dump of documents wasn't enough for b. p.c. the company commanded or demanded via subpoena access to private e-mails between the two scientists and the presiding judge granted thi

volunteer valuable expertise and technology that emergency responders don't possess so thanks to b.p. oil companies won't just be able to attack science by funding bogus climate change deniers any more now they'll be able to intimidate scientists through legal maneuvers which are actually stifle the scientific process so researchers fear their developed. liberations could be taken out of context in court this is what can happen now moreover the two also noted that b.p. has access to their technology and while the court imposed a confidentiality agreement in the company the burden of making sure it's enforced is entirely upon the woods hole institute so all the memory of the b.p. oil spill might be far from the minds of many americans these days you should realize that the legal battles here are far from over and this time the science that helps us analyze the damages could be in jeopardy. well u.s. drone strikes in pakistan are being launched in waves just yesterday we told you about strikes that killed twenty seven people over just three days that included targeting mourners and rescuers

b.p. and international oil company that put up the money. ought it was appropriate. >> rose: did you think that b.p. behaved appropriately and honorably after the... after what happened? >> absolutely. b.p. cleaned up the oil as much as it could be cleaned up. it's still somewhat questionable but it seems they did a very good job. >> rose: all they could do? >> i think they did. and b.p. unlike other oil company has are still litigating over other disasters, exxon "valdez" they're still late gaiting over 20 years later. b.p. stepped up, the president may have had something to do with it and said we want to get all this behind us. we don't want to be in the courtroom. if here's $20 20-billion up front. we'll worry later who should contribute other countries. right now let's just deal wrpl this. >> rose: if you look back in hindsight would you have done anything different? >> oh, i made some blunders! >> rose: really. the biggest was. >> the biggest blunder i made-- and i point it out in the book-- i went down there and made the ridiculous,÷fÁp

grasp what this would really mean and do sure well if you look at you know a few years ago with the b.p. oil spill you know b.p. you know thankfully we didn't have a trade agreement with some of the countries that b.p. is incorporated in besides the united. states edged the u.k. if that had been in place then when regulators went to try to correct some of the lack of regulation and they actually tried to reregulate that sector if b.p. felt that that interfered with their future expected profits they could challenge the environmental regulation outside of u.s. courts and pick one of the judges that would hear their case then they could ask the residents of louisiana and of all of the united states to pay them compensation for the new environmental protection law and who would would comprise of this international panel overseen this these are international trade lawyers that sometimes serve as as counsel to the companies and then the next day they're in a different case as judges so this is would never happen in a domestic court where judges are just allowed to rotate out of serving clients an

that's showed little since just folks you know i mean i think that we've got to look we saw in the b.p. oil spill we saw it in the lack of response to the wall street financial crisis we saw it in the lack of indictments despite an overwhelming preponderance of evidence suggesting that major crimes were committed we saw it in the settlement to the foreclosure for which was massive you know technically perjury forgery that we have money ruling the system and i'm sorry the idea of the show has a right of free speech that includes trying to hide from the public how much money he's giving you know this kind of notion of money is speech it's the only speech that anybody describes where you have the right men have to be heard while you're speaking with it you know the money you know that secrecy and so on you know the same people who say money is speech fight the disclose act that would let us know who's giving money where so i mean i think this is just. it's. a show that adelson you know is one of these people that you actually do know how much money is getting because he's being very public abo

given the aftermath of the b.p. oil spill, it is easy to understand the importance of addressing all safety concerns prior to the issuance of oil and gas leases. since the disaster, safety -- federal safety regulations have been tightened, spill containment responsible capability has been enhanced, and lessons have been learned. these lessons must be understood by everyone involved in reviewing and approving each and every application for permits and lease sales. responsible on shore drilling includes having our best minds working to carefully and diligently review each application. this amendment is intented to through both women and minorities in the process. this amendment is designed to ensure that d.o.i. is able to recruit, retain, and train skilled professionals, many of whom require a science technology, engineering, or math background. the d.o.i. will be encouraged to reach out to high school students, college students, and professionals. it establishes an office of energy employment and training which will over

oil and water. the company signed a deal with b.p. in an effort to help b.p. clean up their massive disaster. $18 million as a deposit and potentially $52 million in total but alec baldwin says costner duped him into selling the share -- no, i mean steven baldwin -- by keeping him in dark about the deal. and trace is following this. how, exactly, does baldwin say costner duped him? >>trace: he says he never told him he set up a meeting with b.p. and even after he struck that deal, shep, baldwin says costner never told him he struck the deal, and, in fact, he used the $18 million deposit you mentioned to by out the shares of baldwin and baldwin's partner. gold win got $1.4 really and the partner got $500,000 and costner said he did not go to the meeting with b.p. and he was both surprised and offended that baldwin and his partner walked away with $2 million when neither one of them invested in the company to begin with. >>shepard: did costner's oil operators work in we covered them at the time but i never heard an trace. >>trace: at first the oil was so thick i

gone through so many traumas, so ma many, with hurricanes and all the attendant problems, and the b.p. oil spill, which put such terrible damage -- which meant so much terrible damage to her state and the other gulf states, environmental damage, commercial damage, broke hearts, broke spirits. but let me tell you, you never break mary landrieu's spirit. she teamed up with her colleague here, senator vitter, and they wrote the restore act. and then she went to all the other colleagues in the gulf coast and said, you've got to help me with this and they put together a great package. and what it really means without going into the details -- she will agree into the details -- is when the court decision comes down and the funds come to the federal government for all the violations of law that took place with the b.p. spill, 80% of those funds will be directed to the very people that got hurt, and senator landrieu, it is an honor to work with you, it is a privilege. and you have been a model for a senator who never, ever, ever stops fighting. and i am so grateful that i was able to step up to th

pick in oil news of contacted british b.p.of the russian military said it was happy with the way the joint venture is being run. so your ship is in beijing and he has the latest. chinese companies and they signed it back and also the china national offshore all corporation which are the second and the third largest oil companies in china respectively are looking to buy into the dmca b.p. now that the british shareholders are selling their stake now certainly for china this would mean diversification of their resources of of buying oil from russia right now when the stand that russia and china are already under an agreement russia sells thirteen million tons of oil to china every year until twenty thirty it's already more than half of china's overall purchases but still this number could be bigger certainly for china this is a very important issue it is one of the most energy hungry countries in the world in fact different experts and organizations put china on. first place in the energy consuming countries in the world and i s

costner cheated him out of a multimillion dollar deal about a device that helped clean up the 2010 b.p. oilr husband and became a single mom forced to raise her three children on her own. amazingly enough, that's when she decided right then it would be the perfect time to quit her day job and devote herself to reinventing public education. that's right. she opened a charter school risking her life's savings to provide that all children could get a good education and today, harlem village academies has grown from one school to five and are some of the best in the new york city area and joining us right now is the author of a brand new book "born to rise" and the founder of nceo of harlem village academies deborah kenny. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> 2001, you had just lost your husband and you had a dream. you wanted to open your own schools and people -- your friends said, look, you're going to go broke. you're going to lose your house. you won't be able to provide for those three beautiful kids behind you. >> right. it was a very hard time and i'll be honest with you, i used to

courtroom drama playing out between two actors over who stood to earn a fortune for helping clean up the b.p. oillf. steven baldwin the actor claims kevin costner the actor and costner's business partner cheated steven baldwin out of an $18 million deal. both expected to testify in the two week trial. game on. gretch? >> thank you, steve. the teachers union probably doesn't want you to see this. their own members supporting wisconsin governor now scott walker. >> people are looking at it in the short term. if people would take a second and look at the whole picture, where wisconsin was, where we are and where we can possibly go, i think all of us will fight. >> it's like anything else, we only have so much money coming in. if we're looking to really truly use that money and we want to use that for kids, we need to put our money where our mouth is. >> my guest right now, one of the many wisconsin public school teachers that you saw in that ad. you were the first one that we saw. good morning to you, tracy. >> hi, good morning. >> i know you are a teacher and part of the union but you are supportin

b.p. is now pursuing its have in the room so british oil firms and the recently resigned c.e.o. of b.p. which is three men who are the one of the two partners needed to take full control of the firm otherwise the joint venture would be paralyzed meanwhile the financial times says b.p. has received a buy offer from one of the russian state companies and analysts estimate that the fifty percent stake in russia's third biggest oil producer will be around thirty billion dollars and while there are no guarantees that any transaction will take place alex a call came from says other possibilities quite high. this being disagreed. and apparently between b.p. and their russian partners. over how to use the money the steady cash flow generated by by the russian operation to take care would be holding and apparently big pay you would like to get it all as cash as dividends or as the russian side would like to use the car for global expansion and if if this disagreement goes on that it's perfectly conceivable that b.p. might want to sell out if this were all the successful russian operation of the

offering an amendment that mirrors legislation i introduced in the 111th congress as a response to the b.p. oil catastrophe. it would reconfigure the existing presumption that extraction comes first and conservation comes second it would change the outer continental shelf policy and mandate precaution from a derivative that may imply that protection of the environment is secondary to expeditious development, declares that maintenance and restoration of coastal environment is of primary importance. makes clear that o.c.s. lesioning, exploration and development will be authorized in limbed air yass of the ocean only when science shows the initiatives can proceed with minimal risk to the health of ocean ecosystems, protects important ecological areas by requiring the secretary to consider geographical, geological and ecological characteristics of the areas. finally it requires specific precautions for areas with particular physical or environmental characterizations from o.c.s. leasing. one of the chairmen stated, across the board, we are disappointed with congress' lack of action. two years have

b.p. has received by offer from one of russians that a company is estimate the fifty percent stake in russia is the biggest oil producer at around thirty eight billion dollars while there are no guarantees any transaction will take place let's say cocaine from euro six as a possibility is high. there's been disagreement apparently between b.p. and their russian partners. over how to use the money the steady cash flow generated by by the russian operation it's going to be holding and apparently big pay you would like to get all this cash is dividends as the russian side would like to use the car for global expansion and if if this disagreement goes on it's perfectly conceivable that people might want to sell out of this rather successful . operation but the interesting question here is whether we want to run or try to outbid about potential and get to know whether it would seek to control the whole company one hundred percent of that itself. all right sticking with russia let's check out the my sex in the office and see how they're performing this friday afternoon. yes one point six percent down the my six arou

b.p. is now considering its have in the russo british oil forum now the recently resigned c. even has warned that one of the two partners mosse take full control of the firm otherwise the joint venture with our allies meanwhile the financial times says b.p. has received a buy offer from one of the russian state companies and here in moscow after many rumors the head of rolls that satan has said that his company was not binah stake in seeing that such a decision requires the market and alice's analysts estimate the fifty percent stake in russia's third biggest oil producer to be at around thirty billion dollars and while there are no guarantees that i don't. it will take place alex a call came from oil cvs says the possibility is quite high. there's been disagreement apparently between b.p. and their russian partners. over how to use the money the steady cash flow generated by by the russian operation to be holding. and apparently big pay you would like to get all this cash is dividends for us the russian side would like to use the car for global expansion and if if this disag

b.p. so what's happening now that's why i care we're now getting reports that china's two major oil companies and that cineplex and seeing all cannot they might buy al b.p. from its russian ventured. let's not forget that b.p. originally paid about eight billion dollars for its stake in the company and now it's worth about thirty billion dollars it says that it has received a lot of interest now other potential candidates include russian state energy holding ross they have to gus and sources close to the russian billionaire owners say they could buy out b.p. for twenty five billion dollars well we'll of course bring you all the latest updates on the story as we get them. now times take a look at international markets will start with the europe which just kicked off the trade in session and there it's a sea of red if we can look at the latest figures we know that the dax is headed over one percent when it comes to the footsie it's close today because of the jubilee celebrations in the u.k. now the mood is pessimistic across the board and that's coming from negative p.m.i. data in the region th

b.p. and the coast guard to the deepwater horizon spill in april two thousand and ten their expertise studying the ocean was needed so using robotic submarines that to study the flow of oil from the cracked well they determined at the spill released four point nine million barrels of crude into the gulf but because b.p. is engaged in costly lawsuits battling government fines of the local state and federal levels well they aren't as chameleon ready to turn over their findings so the two scientists first said that they volunteered more.
