Jacob zuma made a short appearance in what was expected to be the 1st day of questions into allegations of corruption within minutes the trial was again perspire own to february next year mr zuma elects to exercise is. The full extent. Of his guns just not rights. Which includes what i taught people. An interminable decision.

The situation is still very critical in the beaches here in the northeastern brazil there is still crude oil that is washing up on the beaches here in more than 150. 00 different locations in an area thats nearly 2000 kilometers long no matter where this oil is coming from its already having a devastating effect on some marine life now this is video thats very hard to look at it is a video of a marine sea turtle that was rescued near the state of by. This turtle had swallowed some of the crude oil and was about to die but it was rescued and these veterinarians there are trying to save the turtle by cleaning out the oil from its mouth this just gives you an idea of the kind of work thats being done to try to save as many animals as possible and the question is where is this oil coming from the brazilian government continues to say that this or oil they believe is coming from venezuela however in recent days theres been images like this barrels of what appears to be oil that have washed up on some of the beaches in the northeast of brazil and on the barrels of oil it says shell in reference to the American Oil Company however in response to this show has said these particular barrels are actually lubricants that probably fell off of some ship show claims that these barrels do not have anything to do with the current oil spill however on sunday brazils minister of environment demanded that show provide more answers to this its probably going to take weeks perhaps even months to clean all of this up as one person told us this is absolutely an environmental disaster the president has signed a decree scrapping austerity measures the most 2 weeks of violent protests monrovia while over has more from tito. In a neighborhood near the outskirts of the ecuadorian capital freddy and carmen are walking back from their home their house is modest and they share the space with other members of their family. The couple make a combined income of about 500. 00 per month which is just enough to get by. For the past few days however the 2 havent been working. Instead they were participating in an Indigenous Movement that was calling on the ecuadorian government to abandon austerity measures that threatened to increase their cost of living a movement that was ultimately successful. Saying. Finally the voice of Indigenous People is being valued finally the government has listened if they hadnt we would have continued to go after the corrupt government that only puts money in their pocket. There are thousands of people from indigenous communities from across ecuador who like freddie and carmen flooded the streets of people for more than a week the protests were against a proposed cut to a fuel Subsidies Program thats been in place for decades weak analysts like other to. Say this policy would have had a devastating impact on the poor. Then i would be sentencing people to poverty or sending entire swaths of the ecuadorian population into poverty there are many people who live off a subsistence economy where 1. 00 means the difference between a decent meal or not eating. This is for low income families like freddie and carmens avoiding the increase in fuel prices is being viewed as a win the carman says the fight is far from over. We say that this is all the tip beginning until all of the corrupt leaders leave this doesnt end here to fight continues until all the corruption is gone.
