US students drown in sea of debt |
| From: AlJazeeraEnglish | 02 January 2011 American university students are beginning the new year with a mountain of debt. There is now $850bn owed in outstanding tuition costs and paying back the money is an ongoing challenge. Two in every three American students graduate with loans outstanding, and the current debt is 11 times the total it was just two decades ago. The average yearly cost of a bachelor's degree in the US is between $5 000 and $43 000, compared to just over $5 000 in Canada and $1 300 in much of the European Union. Experts say a college degree is an important investment, but in a difficult job market it is an investment that could take a lifetime to pay off. |

Riki Ott on BP: They've got our politicians completely hamstrung. |
| roseaguilar3 | 21 October 2010 In this interview with Rose Aguilar, Riki Ott talks about whether BP will ever be held responsible for the oil disaster, BP\\\'s partnership with NOAA in schools, the oil disaster\\\'s long-term effects on the ecosystem, the citizen uprising in the South, and the most effective way to save the planet from further destruction. I spoke with Riki Ott on the sixth-month anniversary of the BP oil disaster -- one of the largest environmental disasters in U.S. history. In 1989, Ott, a marine toxicologist who lives in Cordova, Alaska, experienced firsthand the devastating effects of the Exxon Valdex oil disaster. She\\\'s spent five of the past six months traveling back and forth between Louisiana and Florida to gather information about what\\\'s really happening in the Gulf and share the lessons she learned about long-term illnesses and deaths of clean-up workers and residents. She\\\'s planning to return in January.

Raj Patel: Mozambique's Food Riots Are the True Face of Global Warming |
| Thirteen people died and hundreds were wounded last week in the African nation of Mozambique when police cracked down on a three-day protest over a 30 percent hike in the price of bread. The UN says the riots in Mozambique should be a wake-up call for governments that have ignored food security problems since the global food crisis of 2008, when countries around the world saw angry protests in the streets over the rising prices of basic food items. We speak with author and activist Raj Patel. |

RAP NEWS: Wikileaks vs The Pentagon - INTERNET WARS |
| thejuicemedia | 30 July 2010 Rap News resumes its lyrical forays into the world of rhyme and reason, exploring what\\\'s been happening on the Internets in 2010. Recently returned from his long-leave vacation in the Caribbean - prematurely interrupted due to the disastrous BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico - Robert Foster examines Senator Joe LIEberman\\\'s proposed bill to grant the Prez the power to shut down the web in case of [quotation mark] an emergency [/quotation mark]. But - most importantly - we take a look at something else which has been leaking even more profusely than a BP oil well. An organisation of ultra-inspiring infectively-courageous cybernauts - aka Wikileaks - have been taking on the Fistagon and giving that slumbering Fourth Estate a much-needed kick in the arse, reminding us how powerful and important the internet is as a channel of information. What is Wikileaks? Who is Julian Assange? And why is it so important that we know? Find out with your charming host, Robert Foster. Yes folks, Rap News is back. ****************** NOTE TO RE-UPLOADERS: We\\\'re happy that you want to re-upload the vid.
