| UK Gives OK to BP Oil Project in North Sea | |
| Uploaded by NTDTV on 14 Oct 2011 The UK government gives the green light to BP and partners to pursue a 7 Billion $U.S. North Sea oil and gas project. The development will be closely watched in light of last year's massive oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil giant BP has been given the green light from the UK government to proceed with a 4.5 billion pound oil and gas project in the North Sea. BP will partner with Shell, ConocoPhillips and Chevron to enter the second phase of the Clair Ridge Project - which will develop a field west of the remote Scottish Shetland Islands. British Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the investment - saying it would provide a massive boost to jobs and growth, as unemployment in Britain hits its highest level in 17 years. CEO Bob Dudley said he expected production to be at around 200,000-250,000 barrels of oil a day until 2030 - and gave assurances the project would be safe, following the world's worst marine oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year. [Bob Dudley, BP CEO]: "BP has had terrible, unfortunate set of events in the Gulf of Mexico and we have taken them into our company and changed BP top to bottom. We've put in place new emphasis, we've shared these lesson we've learned with the industry around the world. We will do that in the UK most certainly. The conditions of these wells that we're talking about now are not at the extreme end of what is done safely, reliably and been done for many years in others parts of the world." BP says it will be the highest annual investment it had ever made in the UK North Sea. The project is going ahead despite an unexpected 12 per cent tax hike for oil producers, imposed by the British government in March. | |

| 7 Occupying DC Arrested Protesting Wars at House Armed Services Committee | |

(Donations help fund the independent media produced by NCFT including daily video updates from the people's occupation of Freedom Plaza in Washington DC starting October 6th.) : http://nocureforthat.org/?page_id=372 Contact : *** http://www.facebook.com/dennistrainorjr & http://www.twitter.com/dennistrainorjr Interrupt Def. Sec. Panetta with "Troops Home" Message Dozens of people who are part of Occupy DC, camping out in Freedom Plaza and McPhearson Square, packed the line to get into the House Armed Services Committee where Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was testifying. Only 15 people were allowed in and none were allowed to even quietly hold up signs—a clear violation of their free speech One by one, seven people who managed to get inside got up to protest the wars. CODEPINK Alli McCracken, 22, held up a sign saying "Fund My Education, Not Your Wars." "My general only knows war and a bankrupt country. We deserve better," she yelled, as she was yanked out and handcuffed by Capitol Police. Also arrested was 21-year-old Iraq veteran Michael Patterson, who was sent—at the age of 18—to be an interrogator in Iraq. "You are murdering people; I saw what you do to people in Iraq," he shouted. "Then you refuse to even take care of our veterans when they return." Nancy Brennan, 63, asked "How many lives will be sacrificed? How many lies will be told?" as she was arrested. The protesters who were left in the hallway and not allowed inside chanted, "We are the 99 percent and we don't support these wars." The group put out a statement saying: "We represent the 99 percent of Americans who have been hurt by these endless wars that have robbed us of trillions of dollars and destroyed our economy. We are outraged by the continued wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the drone attacks in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. This violence kills untold numbers of innocent civilians, it kills and maims our soldiers for no reason and it bankrupting our nation. It does nothing to ensure our security. On the contrary, the occupation of other people's land makes us hated, recruits new adversaries and perpetuates an endless cycle of violence. The only ones who have gained from these ten years of war have been the weapons manufacturers and the military contractors. It is time to stop listening to the war profiteers and listen to the American people. Bring our troops home now! Stop the drone attacks! Cut the bloated military budget and invest those funds in rebuilding America!
