he would not talk to brian ross. but a spokesman sent us this statement from wesley saying the department of energy loans mentioned in the report were all aborted before i joined the secretary of energy's advisory board. each company went through an open and competitive application process that included significant due diligence. also mentioned in the report, cylindra. they received half a billion dollar government loan from the department of energy. but in spite of the cash they wanted to close a factory and layoff workers. >> because they had to lay them off, does that make them a bad investment that the government put money in there? >> not at all. time will tell. >> he runs an alternative energy company in san francisco. he is a big supporter of the president's. but he says the government should have based the financial assistance on standards. any company able to meet the standards would get the help. >> it doesn't matter whether you like wage renewable fuel or not. as soon as the government says we like wailing

i think that, you know, diana ross was not billie holiday, but then again, i don't think even diana ross claim. but the misrepresentation of the facts of strange fruit, i think, are really unforgivable. what happened in the movie-- and i'm sure that there are people out there who remember the scene in the movie-- she's on a bus, touring in the south sometime in the 1930s with her band, and she gets off the bus to relieve herself. and she walks over a hill, and there's this procession, this sort of procession of bedraggled-looking, poor african americans. i think there's a horse and cart or something, and it's clear that they're coming from a lynching. i think she goes over the hill, and she may even see the evidence of a lynching. and then you hear the strains of strange fruit sounding in the background, and she gets this kind of mesmerized look on her face as if lyrics are taking shape in her mind. and the clear implication is that she's thinking of strange fruit and composing it at that very moment, none of which was true. that's the first sin in the movie. the second sin is that they

what's now going to happen to be and ross never has the deal off. to question it that's a question that's on everyone's lips it certainly will be very disappointing for b.p. this back in january when the when the deal was trumpeted in the notes to be pleased chief executive bob dudley was very happy about the deal he called it historic but it could open up one of the world's last great exploration fields the the arctic four to contain huge reserves as yet on top of oil and gas. that was that was the feeling at the time so this is clearly a blow but the deal considers not only of what they called but global strategic partnership to explore but also a share swap between ross and aften and b.p. but has also for the moment been put on hold whether will stop the deal most commentators say probably not it's such an important strategic deal they say that b.p. is definitely going to try and find a way to make it work and it that the key to that is going to be some kind of compromise with the russian shareholders represented by a yacht whether they come in o

for ross never to find a partner for example. creates it's a very interesting project you know the unlocking of the arctic hydrocarbons in the arctic is something that i think a lot of the oil companies would want to look at we've had several deals in the last couple of months with no overt acts on with rosneft in other areas so i think there would be other international oil majors that would be interested in looking at the deal but you know b.p. is the most experienced western oil company in russia it's closest obviously to the deal there the obvious candidates to to make this happen so if it's not b.p. i think it's going to take a lot longer to get to some sort of deal all right so the russian government bring to ensure that this deal goes through what do you think. i think that the russian government could talk to the russian shareholders in t.n. k b p i'd be really surprised if somebody as the. friedman within to yankee b.p. had already spoken to the to the russian government so i imagine that dialogue is going to continue yo

deal he said though almost in his capacity as deputy prime minister on the other side rather than as ross never cared but even if for some reason the steel didn't end up going ahead then it was a key state priority to explore the arctic to find and utilize all that gas where so even without breed. p m without this deal the arctic would be explored from b.p.'s perspective obviously this decision is it's a little bit disappointing back in january when it was first announced they trumpeted it as a historic deal able to look into the as yet unexplored arctic and they've to be very keen on trying to find a compromise which lets some form of deal go ahead. and let's take a look at how the markets are performing this hour in the you as the dow jones and the nasdaq are trading in the blank to sound economic growth data good corporate earnings are left inside and. out here in russia advised the r.c.a.'s on my six have turned positive following those guys on wall street chairs and also nerves are suffering following the decision of blocking access to it well. that's all the business news this hour
