i know the north sea. the north sea is supposed to be running out of oil, but they're bringing you back in to find more? >> that's correct, jim. we're working on a number of projects. a record number of projects in the north sea out of our aberdeen technology center. and what we're trying to do is lessen the amount of water cut or increase the amount of oil production out of some of these old wells. the north sea started to produce oil and gas back in 1975. so it is an aging petroleum province. aging petroleum provinces are perfect for core lab because our technology will help them as you say squeeze more oil and gas out of those older fields. >> last question, a lot of the other companies that i deal with and service, they've been hurt by weak natural gas prices in the united states. that is not hurting core labs, is it? >> that's right, jim, if you look at our technology, it's better applied to international crude oil related projects. so if you look at our revenue mixed right now, we are 80% crude oil a

today thousands of people gathered on north sea beaches on cue, everybody raced into the chilly watersthers raced even faster back to the beach. it was really cold but not as cold a as it has been in years past. this year the air and water temperature hovered around 45 degrees. yeah. that's beach weather. if you are in the netherlands on new year's day. >> that's not happen. >> still ahead, new details about the woman accused of pushing a man in front of been arrested before. >>> the woman charged with pushing a man into the path of an oncoming train into his death. apparently has a violent history. as tracy strahan reports it was not the first time the suspect has had a run-in with the police. >> she was so relentless coming after me. >> reporter: it has been eight years but daniel remembers blow by blow the attack that caught him completely off guard. a memory that has been refreshed since his assailant, erica menendez, is behind bars again. but he had never seen nor heard of her back in 2003 when the retired battalion chief came face to face with the alleged killer while taking out

still to come a bracing start to the new year with a bit of north sea madness. >> once again they called for weapons and aide. >> i am sure that our revolution will continue to get more and more. also i hope the international community will recognize exactly what happened in syria and do his duty to help our people in humanitarian and help them to defend themselves by providingfr to free people seeking freedom and dignity. >> you are watching bbc world news. let's take you through the headlines. the president of ivory coast visits the hospital where the injured were taken after a stampede at new years celebrations in which 60 people were killed. republicans in the u.s. house of representatives say they are not ready to support a deal that aims to avert a budget crisis. thousands of people have been expressing their fury in a city where space is highly prized and priced they claimed he lie body illegal construction at his home. the -- the report contains flash photography. >> this is how anti-government protesters in hong kong see their leader. they say he can no longer be trusted to run

. >> some citizens, such as those on the north sea, are on the front line of the energy revolution.here, 170 residents are investing millions into 25 wind turbines. the energy they create can power 35,000 homes. the people are their own energy supplier. >> in a way, it is democratic energy production. we all have a say on what equipment use and what bank to use to finance it. >> experts say that, in 2013, more germans will start to generate their own electricity. >> people are getting involved. day care. that is a great thing, not only for energy production, but also for participation. >> but the costs of expanding wind and solar power are carried by consumers, and energy prices are on the rise. that's a hard sell in an election year. >> at the end of the day, the costs must be affordable for the national economy and for individual citizens, businesses, tradespeople, and for the middle-class. >> if discontent over the cost grows, will politicians lose their will to push it through? >> the energy revolution cannot be reversed. there is broad consensus that phasing out nuclear while s

the north seas monsoon is really dominating and just keeping all of that rough weather, as far as thunderstorms, rather quiet. not so much the case has been here into the united states, especially the eastern portions. really destruction has been seen across some areas here. two fatalities have been reported due to tornadoes. now, the good news is that storm system's moving offshore. much fairer weather rolling in behind it. back off toward new brunswick, you will continue to see some gusty winds, even some snowfall. also the great lakes. you are the exception as far as this tranquil weather in the u.s., because we have that lake-effect snow that's going to be setting in. that northwesterly wind flowing down toward the south, especially on the east side of these lakes, toward the southern portions from huron over toward michigan and south of erie and ontario, around buffalo, you're going to be seeing up to about 35 centimeters of snowfall, accompanied by winds possibly up to 100 kilometers per hour there is going to be that risk of some blizzard-like conditions really reducing visibilities here

money for british consumers as it promises to be cheaper than electric generated from wind in the north sea. but to work, the plan requires hundreds of new turbines to be built all across the flat and boggy irish midland. building wind farms on bogland has already been done successfully here in on the island. but to generate the green electricity needed to power three million u.k. homes is going to require much bigger turbines than the ones you see here. in fact, it will need some of the biggest ever built in the world. campaigners say the giant wind farms will be a blot on the landscape of a country that trades on its unspoiled green image. irish ministers disagree, saying the energy deal is just a first step, and tough planning laws will protect the countryside. >> i think there's a mutual interest here for both countries. and ireland doesn't want a wind farm at every crossroads. we don't want that. >> the hard-line opposition of some conservative m.p.'s to wind turbines in the u.k. is believed by opponents to be the real driving force behind the plan. the scheme is an irish solution to a

analysis firm which said openly that algerian gas is going to be key to europe's energy security as north sea gas runs out over the next few years and the big obstacle for europe being able to get hold of this is quite the nationalistic government of algeria and its protectionist policies and this is the biggest obstacle to europe gas it's going to need from algeria what it said it could live with interest i want to make this quote he said actually the quote is that the existing involvement of the e.u. energy majors in high risk countries like nigeria libya yemen and iraq indicates quote a healthy tolerance for instability in security problems so they're saying they can live with and destabilized failed state algeria and still extract the gas they need in that situation but they can't live with is the current nationalistic regime and they're hoping to destabilize it don't forget the cold war policy era of support the west importing these kind of brutal strong man states who could guarantee security for their investment is over they no longer need strong states to guarantee their investments t

from the top here, we can see right over to the north sea we can look that way to birnam wood so it's an incredibly brilliant natural place to fortify. hawke: it's the perfect place to see some witches. i mean, that's for sure. even the moon out in the daytime is kind of creepy. so that's the place where macbeth probably lived but what about the actual man macbeth and the reigning king duncan that he kills in the play? champion: in shakespeare's account of duncan's death, macbeth is very much the tyrant, the deceitful host who murders his godly king in his sleep. in fact, we know that macbeth defeated duncan on the battlefield and it's more than likely that in that particular episode duncan was the aggressor. so he was invading macbeth's kingdom, and macbeth did as all good kings of their own lands would do-- defend his own rights and privileges. so in one sense, duncan's death was just a casualty of war. so macbeth does not display the sort of deceit and traitorous treason that shakespeare delivers to us in the play. hawke, voice-over: well, the question i wonder about is how much of

i have actually witnessed this myself sitting on a platform in the north sea watching as a guy ocean or drilling engineer sits in front of a computer screen and watching a picture. a picture in full and living color which is being updated every few minutes that shows the structure that a drill bit is going through which the engineer is guiding as he goes. the drill bit is 5,000 feet down and ten miles away. and moving through going through a oil bearing rock in three or four meters -- being sent back in real time from the drill bit as it moves forward, that column straight through the -- [inaudible] five or ten miles out and is getting astounding production. not only that, but even so often along the path of the horizontal well he's doing the frack job. you have multistage fracks along the horizontal frack. frack, frack. the result of all of that has been the most extraordinary surprise in the history of the oil industry and possibly in the economic history of the united states in this century. from being dependent on imported oil, we are now on the verge by 2020 of producing some 5

sea is then from the time. i. fall from the civilized world in the north of russia on the. sea canaries are communicating with people with great pleasure in the open waters. but not a cure they are behaving strangely today. sure why you had a canary so why did you feel like giving us a song it was something wrong with your first system wouldn't boss guy didn't gargle before you start singing vs new. water your best. is sure was more. than was a mortal let's gives our throat some fish oil. now let's try to get off the. sailors have dubbed beluga whales sea canaries because of the peculiar sounds they make. my three want to bring us tearing. skin color distinguishes these marine mammals from their relatives i believe good carbs are of a dark blue color. when they're one year old they turn gray like these two female whales. i later their skin acquires a milky shade. yes this is exactly how they should be kept but i woke up people in society should know that the bloke a whale is not a stupid fish as many believe the. need to tell him that these intelligent creatures are worthy o

i have actually witnessed this myself sitting on a platform in the north sea. watching as a geologist or a drilling engineer sits in front of a computer screen and is watching a picture, a picture in full and living color which is being updated every few minutes that shows the structure that a drill bit is going through which the engineer is guiding as he goes. that drill bit is 5,000 feet down and is 10 miles away. and is moving forward along a horizontal path going through a seam of oil-bearing rock no more than three or four meters thick. and because of that constant visualization, those constant data that are being sent back in realtime from that drill bit as it moves forward, that engineer is guiding that drill bit and that column straight through the pay zone 5, 10 miles out and is getting astounding production. not only that, not only that but every so often along the path of that horizontal well he's doing a frack job. so you've got what they call multistage fracks along this hour so horizontal -- frack, frack, frack, frack. the result of all of that ha

off towards the north, that sea effect snow machine is turning right back on and we are seeing a weak disturbance and as that pushes off, about 20 to 40 centimeters of snow going throughout wednesday as that continues to push overhead. what's pushing this towards the east is the strong high pressure and bringing us very cold temperatures and clear skies. the result of that is going to be not just the cold temperatures, but widespread fog across much of central and eastern china. extending all the way down towards hong kong. if you have a flight, you want to watch closely and delays are likely. not just the factor of that, but the high pressure will be putting on a cap over many of the cities. in the air with the small area across eastern china. that factor will be weighed in and could get worse if you have a respiratory process across china. in beijing, 2 for the high and seoul up to zero. cool in tokyo with a high of 7. a far cry from the heavy snow you are seeing on monday. take a look towards the americas. a winter system with a stretch of cloud cover from the gulf coast extending
