joining me now is melanie sloan, from citizens of responsibility and ethics in washington. the group that's calling for this investigation. ms. sloan, thank you for joining us tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> now, why are you calling this investigation? and let me make it clear, you have also been critical of congresswoman waters. so this is not that you have not come right down the middle in terms of the issues at hand here. >> that's right. in fact, there are very few groups who have been as critical of representative waters over the years as we have including over this very factual scenario. but that said, ms. waters was entitled to the fool and accurate investigation handled by the ethics committee in ra nonpartisan fashion. this is the one committee in congress evenly split between democrats and republicans and is supposed to act in a nonpartisan passion. here we have seen the investigation into waters is irretrievably tainted by a committee staff who were sharing information improperly, confidential information with members and staff not authorized to see it. they

representatives anthony cero and richard scott sloan made it impossible for b.p. to participate in the arctic deal well it's all a bit strange isn't it we don't really know and i think that's the purpose of the decision of the siberian court is that they've now got the permission to get further evidence we'll have to see it doesn't add up from where i'm sitting but you know. why these two people well i think they were saying they were the key officers at the time that they would've been responsible for the actions in the decisions i think that's the reason they've been listed but who knows we'll see to my mind it seems a bit overstated all right and i've read a partner be able to thank you so much i'm going with this. let's move to the markets if we have time first of all to look at crude and it's been a volatile day actually a drop in the u.s. pushed up but reports of a contraction in chinese manufacturing pulled it back down what we're seeing right now light sweet decline of thirty seven cents a barrel brant sixty five. european markets are also in the red this
