if shale gas extraction goes ahead, it will be a boon to new brunswick's struggling economy. the province anticipates it could generate over a thousand jobs and 1.5 billion dollars, staunching the exodus of workers west to alberta's oil sands. >> to have that kind of revenue inflow and that kind of potential, it would have a dramatic impact on the province. in fact, on the studies we looked at just a few weeks ago indicates that shale gas development could actually double the economic growth rates in the province. >> three years later these were the images from new brunswick flashing across canadian television screens. royal canadian mounted police guns trained on first nations people, police cars sent up in flames. >> we seized a number of firearms from the encampments at the protest site. we also found explosive devices, a large amount of ammunition, knives, and bear spray. several shots were fired from within the encampment. molotov style explosives were thrown at police, and six rcmp vehicles were destroyed by fire. >> fault lines has traveled to the province of new bruns

back in 2010, the canadian province of new brunswick granted a texas-based company, southwestern energy, licenses to explore for shale gas - in exchange for investment worth 47 million dollars.

my final thoughts go out to a little canadian town in new brunswick, 30 miles across the border from maine. it's the site of the latest oil by rain train wreck. we show the darker side of the oil boom. the amount coming out is too much, and that's why the slack is being picked up by trains. all that oil by rail has overwhelmed the smaller branch lines as opposed to main rail lines, in addition the fleet of tangors that is used to transport all that oil is aging. it has thin metal skin that pierces easily on derailments. accidents have occurred i , and don't forget the accident that killed 50 residents in a fireball. 24 hours after our report on monday another train covering oil derailed and caught fire in master rock plaster rock. luckily no one with us hurt, but someone out there might reconsider their opposition to building oil pipelines. why how mom and pop shops are drawing you in. i'm ali velshi. this is "real money." ♪ check check >> hi, welcome to al jazeera america. i'm thomas drayton, let's get you caught up on the top stories. >> thursday there'll be a hearing into chris ch

@w@wowowpg÷÷g >> a train derailed in canada near the border. 16 cars in new brunswick 14 miles fromorder in mairn. four cars carrying propane and four others are carrying crude oil. no your injuries being reported. a phoenix man is under arrest accused of trying to smuggle a woman across the border in a suitcase. officers found the 48-year-old thai woman hidden under a pile of clothes in the suitcase during a routine stop at the u.s. mexico border. the man is facing charges of human smuggling. this woman facing charges of her own because she had already been deported. >> reality star honey beoo-boo and her family recovering after a bad crash. the family suv was making a left at a light when a truck coming in the opposite direction with no lights on slammed into them. the accident sent several family members to the hospital. the patriarch mama june saying it is scary to us. we are definitely really sore today. >> elle magazine is under fire for another cover. mindy kayling shot in black-and-white and cropped at the chest. this is one of four covers but the other three are color with

last night, authorities there say a train derailed and caught fire in eastern province of new brunswickin an area where not very many people live, at all. still, the fire was large enough to force officials to evacuate about two dozen nearby homes. last week, a different oil train derailed and exploded in castleton, north carolina, outside fargo. nobody got hurt in that blast, but more than a thousand people had to evacuate in that area. keep in mind, the number of oil trains on the rails is booming these days, as domestic oil production increases. the amount of car loads now carrying crude each year in the united states is roughly 40 times what it was just five or six years ago. more information in the shooting death of a beauty queen and her ex-husband. have you heard about this? cops say they've arrested several suspects and they're providing stunning details about what happened before these killings. >>> plus, tickets to the super bowl. they're going for a few bucks. now one guy claims the way the nfl is distributing the ticket is against the law. so he's talking about suing the nat

or canada in the past 12 months. 150 people evacuated from the area in new brunswick, canada near theeported. to the trading pits of the cme, phil flynn. oil doesn't seem to burst into flames when traveling through a pipeline. >> it doesn't and that is the bottom line. why aren't we moving this through a pipeline? that is the safest way to move oil. why aren't we building the keystone pipeline? we are putting the country more at risk because of these explosions. as you said we have seen the amount of oil moving by rail and record high last year and the concern of course is it is going to have to double. no one says we shouldn't move oil by rail. one of the safe alternatives but it is not the safest. the safest is going through a pipeline and when you see these kinds of concerns it can definitely impact not only the stocks of these companies but the safety of people. last july we had 145 people died during one of these rail explosions. they have to move safely. on top of that some of the oil they are moving may be more volatile than the oil they used to, that has caused the market to b

sparsely populated region of new brunswick we're told. forcing dozens of folks living nearby to leave their homes. no injuries or deaths. crews will use a helicopter to inspect the damage. the derailment comes a week later that a train carrying crude oil in north dakota exploded and derailed as well. martha: it had been 50 years since president lyndon johnson launch ad war on poverty. >> a program i shall propose will emphasize this cooperative approach, to help that 1/5 of all american families with incomes too small to even meet their basic needs. martha: since then president after president has tried to end poverty. so is anything really worked? here now is stuart varney, host of "varney & company." stuart, good morning. good to have you here. >> good morning, martha. martha: that is a huge question of reflection as we look back on the great society 50 years later. does this kind of government handout program help to improve the lives of people? >> okay. first of all let me deal with how much we've spent in the last 50 years. the grand

breaking overnight another serious train derailment carrying crude oil and propane caught fire in new brunswickda, not far from the u.s. border forcing nearby residents to evacuate. this comes just days after the massive explosion you see there triggered by an oil train derailment in north dakota. some lawmakers are now demanding tighter rail safety standards. >>> and despite everything we hear about the need for exercise, apparently we are not listening, at least not when it comes to our kids. the government reports that only 25% of children are getting the exercise they need to stay fit, which doctors say is one hour of moderate activity every day. >>> and speaking of exercise, take a look at these waves. oh. the polar vortex has global impact. these surfers enjoying epic conditions as you can see off the coast of europe. waves up to 60 feet tall. that is a six-story building chasing you thanks to all the storms coming across from the atlantic. better all of them than me to be sure. >>> and finally, whoever made the t-shirt you're about to see has some 'splaining to do. >> oh, no. >> yeah. yo

appeared today in federal court in brunswick, georgia, no small feat for a man who had been declared dead after vanish ago year and a half ago. he was arrested on new eve during a traffic stop on i-95. here's mark strassmann. >> reporter: aubrey lee price, the former banker, is very much alive but a changed man. this is what the arrested fugitive looks like now. price, now 47, was a director at a small georgia bank. he allegedly embezzled $40 million and cheated more than 100 investors like wendy cross, the owner of this atlanta food truck who lost almost $300,000. when you first heard it's gone -- >> i literally fell to my knees in shock. it was everything. it was everything that i had. >> reporter: like all that money price disappeared in june of 2012. he left a suicide note.
