Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats, and International Relations. Witnesses testified before the committee about allegations of corruption in the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. The program allowed Iraq to exchange oil for humanitarian necessities in an exception to the U.N. economic sanctions. Recent reports have asserted that the program was corrupted and allowed Iraq to avoid U.N. sanctions. Witnesses spoke about the corruption in the program, the structures that permitted corruption to occur, and the potential relation between the Iraqi government and other foreign governments in a conspiracy to subvert the U.N. sanctions.

The Clinton administration says it plans to support the United Nations programme which allows Iraq to sell oil in return for food, despite objections raised by Congress.
Energy Secretary Bill Richardson and Under-Secretary of State Thomas Pickering told a Senate hearing that the "oil for food" program is important for humanitarian reasons, and is the best means available for reining-in Saddam Hussein.
Senators oppose letting Saddam continue with oil sales, arguing that the arrangement has led to a drop in world oil prices and has prolonged the Iraqi President's rule.
Two Senate panels assembled on Wednesday to take issue with President Bill Clinton's plan to allow Iraq to continue to sell oil.
Both Democrats and Republicans appear opposed to Saddam Hussein's oil sales, arguing that the U-N oil for food programme provides him with funds to bolster his regime.
Senators claim that Iraq's presence on the world oil market has led to a drop in crude oil prices.
And they were also concerned at the apparent contradiction in the U-S policy towards Baghdad which bombs oil facilities and then sends aid to help increase oil production.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"On the one hand, we are enhancing his power by allowing him to feed his way along, export his oil, rebuild his infrastructure, to play with world oil prices and on the other hand he refuses to allow us our inspections of his poison gas facilities."
SUPER CAPTION: Senator Frank Murkowski, Senator of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee
Energy Secretary Bill Richardson spent much of the day defending the oil-for food programme.
He said that Iraqi oil production was too insignificant to have a serious effect on the world market, mainly because Iraq's infrastructure is not viable.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"But to say that Iraq is a major player, it's not the swing producer. Saudi Arabia is the swing producer. There is no way that Iraq and the oil-for-food program are making Iraq the swing producer. This applies to countries that have excess oil capacity that they can use to impact world oil markets. Only one country - Saudi Arabia - does that."
SUPER CAPTION: Bill Richardson, U-S Energy Secretary
Richardson did find support from Thomas Pickering, the U-S Under Secretary of State, who believes the "oil-for-food" program is an essential part of the U-S containment policy of Iraq.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Although the oil-for-food program isn't perfect, it is essential to our policy of containing Saddam until there is a new government in Baghdad. Without it, sanctions would be much more difficult to sustain; Saddam Hussein would once again have control over tens of billions of dollars a year to spend on weapons of mass destruction."
SUPER CAPTION: Thomas Pickering, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs
Other senators took a different tack, and expressed worries that Saddam Hussein will use the money earned from the oil-for-food programme to build weapons of mass destruction.
But Richardson says the scheme is tightly controlled and designed to prevent Saddam from diverting the money away from its intended destination.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Saddam Hussein does not like this program, because what we are doing is feeding his people against his will because he wants to use all revenues to increase his weapons of mass destruction, his military capability. Secondly, the oil-for-food program is a very tightly controlled program. The United Nations is able to control how this money is spent. It's not as if he is enriching himself."
SUPER CAPTION: U-S Energy Secretary Bill Richardson
The oil-for-food program comes up for U-N Security Council review in May.

3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Charles Duelfer, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Special Adviser:
"The portion of this report devoted to the oil-for-food Programme and the regime's finances is aimed at supporting assessments about WMD (weapons mass destruction) programmes. It is also a vital indicator of the directions and intentions of the former regime. We were not conducting an investigation of the OFF (oil-for-food) programme per say the United Nations, or other nations' actions. Our goal was to develop into the interior of a very opaque and dangerous regime. Much of what we found was ugly. The regime depended not on bringing out the best in people rather on promoting the worst. It poisoned everything it touched, including the UN."
4. Senators listening
5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Senator Norm Coleman, Republican, Minnesota:
"The question of how much of the 21.3 (b) billion (US dollars) is fuelling an insurgency today is one that ultimately has to be answered. The weaknesses in the oil-for-food programme raise serious questions about the United Nation's ability to enforce sanctions and administrate a humanitarian aid programme in the future."

6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Senator Carl Levin, Democrat, Michigan:
(Partly overlaid by diagram showing Iraqi Military Expenditures 1980-2002)
"The fact that the sanctions were basically meeting their objective was the major reason that Saddam Hussein tried to hard to get around them. The Duelfer Report surmises had Saddam Hussein succeeded in ending the sanctions he would have likely resumed re-arming Iraq with the potentially dangerous results. Whether Saddam Hussein would have succeeded in ending sanctions will never be known. But what he do know is that the sanctions in fact largely prevented Iraq from re-arming. We also know that the Oil For Food programme weakened the sanctions by allowing Saddam to pick the winners of the contracts issued under the programme."
7. Cutaway Duelfer listening
8. Side view of Senators
9. SOUNDBITE: (English) Senator Joseph Lieberman, Democrat - Connecticut
"That humanitarian programme was corrupted and exploited by Saddam Hussein, not only for illicitly but for the most horrible and aggressive of purposes."
10. Mid view of Senators
STORYLINE:
U-S congressional investigators say Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's regime made more than US 21.3 billion dollars in illegal revenue by subverting the UN's oil-for-food programme.
This is more than double previous estimates.
Describing what his own investigations had uncovered, special Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) investigator Charles Duelfer said "much of what we found was ugly" and further that Saddam Hussein's plan to get around the sanctions "poisoned everything it touched, including the U-N."
The new figures on Iraq's alleged surcharges, kickbacks and oil-smuggling are based on troves of new documents obtained by the Senate Government Affairs committee's investigative panel.
Senator Norm Coleman, Republican-Minnesota, whose heads the Senate Committee, received the new information at hearing Monday.
Coleman wants to account for the billions of dollars taken by Saddam Hussein and raised concerns that the money has been used to fight the insurgency against U-S troops in Iraq.
Coleman said the probe is just beginning and that officials aim to discover how the fraud was able to thrive for so long.
He also said he is angry that the United Nations has not provided documents and access to officials that investigators need to move ahead.
Senator Joseph Lieberman, said the whole programme was exploited to raise money for Saddam's military.

British Member of Parliament George Galloway testified at a hearing on how Saddam Hussein manipulated the United Nations' Oil-for-Food Program to win influence and reward friends in order to undermine sanctions imposed on Iraq following the Persian Gulf War. A committee report on alleged abuses of the program had named Minister Galloway as one of several foreign officials who had received lucrative oil allocations in the scheme. Mr. Galloway harshly criticized the report and challenged members to produce evidence of the allegations. He also broadly criticized U.S. policy in Iraq and the decision to use military power to oust the Hussein government. This is not a complete record of the hearing, but contains Mr. Galloway's opening statement in its entirety.

Arabic/Nat
XFA
Iraq's vice president has made an unprecedented attack against the United Nations and the Arab League over the "Oil for Food" programme.
Taha Yassien Ramadan accused the U-N of failing to approve vital contracts, thereby delaying medicines and other lifesaving services desperately needed by the people of Iraq.
The U-N was taking Iraq's fuel and giving little in return, Ramadan said, adding that Secretary General Kofi Annan was virtually in control of Iraq's central bank.
The Oil for Food programme, which began in December 1996, is vital for maintaining monthly food rations, medicines, and services like water treatment, electricity, health and education.
Ramadan also lashed out at Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, describing them as subservient, tools in the hands of the United States, responsible for prolonging the embargo and maintaining continuous air raids.
He accused the Secretary General of the Arab League Esmat Abdul Majeed, of receiving bribes from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Esmat Abdul Majeed made his first and only visit to Iraq in 1998.
He met with foreign minister Tariq Aziz.
Ramadan made his comments after a cabinet meeting chaired by President Saddam Hussein.
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"Now I think, and after this grim picture of robbing Iraq's money, I believe it is important and it is the responsibility of officials of the Iraqi leadership that silence over this behaviour (that money generated by the oil-for-food programme is exploited for U-N purposes) cannot continue beyond this time."
SUPER CAPTION: Taha Yassien Ramadan, Iraqi Vice President
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"The Russian leadership have taken the decision to run regular flights to Iraq, and this has been consolidated now. The obstacle in the face of continuing these flights is Iraq's neighbouring countries, And now we are working with some of these state to solve this issue. God willing there will be a solution."
SUPER CAPTION: Taha Yassien Ramadan, Iraqi Vice President
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"Which contributes to implementing the aggression on Iraq and providing requirements of its implementation are the two regimes (Saudi and Kuwait) and without hesitation I say that bribery is a basic element in implementing this policy, including the Arab League and its Secretary General".
SUPER CAPTION: Taha Yassien Ramadan, Iraqi Vice President

"Clearly none of us are in the business of going backwards on this problem. We keep going but the UK made it very clear through my statement that we will continue very seriously, very hard to push forth the ideas that have had such wide support for an improvement of the humanitarian program in Iraq and therefore our draft remains very solidly on the table with all the encouragement not just within the Council but beyond it to move forward and diplomacy will continue on that."

7. Medium shot of press corps
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Sergey Lavrov, Russia's UN Ambassador
"I actually haven't heard that anybody said that this was a victory for Baghdad. I don't believe it was a victory for anybody, except for the humanitarian program continuation, which is important at this present juncture. The Council doesn't have a better way to achieve it's objectives. We believe that the best way to achieve the objectives of the Council would be a comprehensive approach. We should involve a very clear agreement on specific criteria on suspending and lifting sanctions in conjunction with resuming of the UN.monitoring in Iraq."
9. Iraq's Ambassador to the UN, Mohammed al-Douri, boards limousine
STORYLINE:
In what many regard as a victory for Baghdad, the Security Council approved a five-month extension of the UN humanitarian program for Iraq on Tuesday after Britain and the United States dropped a plan to overhaul sanctions on the oil-rich nation to avert a Russian veto.
The final vote on the extension of the oil-for-food program was delayed when Russia opposed including a reference to the US-British plan in the resolution.
But Moscow eventually agreed to mention a June 1 resolution, which expresses the council's intention to consider the elements in the sanctions overhaul.
The council voted less than six hours before the midnight expiration of the current phase of the 4 1/2-year-old program, which allows Iraq to sell oil on condition that the proceeds are spent on food, medicine and other essential goods.
Britain decided against pressing for a council vote on its US-backed plan to overhaul the 11-year-old sanctions regime against Iraq in order to try to win Moscow's support in the coming months and avoid a Russian veto.
Acting US Ambassador James Cunningham said the plan "would have been adopted today save for a veto but a veto would bring our work to a halt and thus would be a victory for Iraq."
Russia's UN Ambassador Sergey Lavrov said: "I don't believe it was a victory for anyone except the humanitarian program."
To reach agreement on the extension of the oil-for-food program, the British and Americans dropped a reference to the Security Council's "determination" to agree to a new system of sanctions "at the earliest opportunity."
Instead, it included a reference to the June 1 resolution along with several other Iraq-related resolutions passed by the council, "as they relate to the improvement of the humanitarian program for Iraq."
The June 1 resolution extended the oil-for-food program for one month and included the guts of the British sanctions overhaul.

English/Nat
The United States will support renewal of the United Nations' oil-for-food programme for Iraq.
American Secretary of State Madeleine Albright made the decision which was announced by a US State Department Spokesperson on Tuesday.
The UN Security Council is expected to vote on the measure on Wednesday.
It had been a wait-and-see situation - but the U-S has now reached a decision.
Washington will support renewal of the U-N's oil-for-food programme for Iraq.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Yes. The Secretary (Madeleine Albright) has decided that the United States will support the renewal of UN resolution 986, and that is the oil-for-food deal. Now, this agreement benefits the people of Iraq, as it should, it does not benefit in any way the government of Iraq, which does not deserve international support."
SUPER CAPTION: Nicholas Burns, US State Department Spokesman
Under the humanitarian waiver, Iraq is allowed to sell up to two-billion-dollars worth of oil in order to get money to buy food and medicine.
State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns said the US had some concerns about the implementation of the current programme.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We will be watching because we will not support this programme if there's any indication that Saddam Hussein is profiting illegally from it. But we believe that this programme should go forward because the Iraqi people need help - they've had to live with a dictator who does not care about them or their economic welfare."
SUPERCAPTION: Nicholas Burns, US State Department Spokesman
With the exception of humanitarian oil sales, Iraq has been banned by the United Nations from any other oil exports since its invasion of neighbouring Kuwait in August 1990 which set off the Persian Gulf War.
The U-N Security Council is expected to vote on whether to continue the oil-for-food agreement on Wednesday.
The agreement expires on Saturday.

The Oil-for-Food Programme (OFF), established by the United Nations in 1995 (under UN Security Council Resolution 986) was established with the stated intent to allow Iraq to sell oil on the world market in exchange for food, medicine, and other humanitarian needs for ordinary Iraqi citizens without allowing Iraq to boost its military capabilities.
The programme was introduced by United States President Bill Clinton's administration in 1995, as a response to arguments that ordinary Iraqi citizens were inordinately affected by the international economic sanctions aimed at the demilitarisation of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, imposed in the wake of the first Gulf War. The sanctions were discontinued on November 21, 2003 after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and the humanitarian functions turned over to the Coalition Provisional Authority.
The programme was de jure terminated in 2003 and de facto terminated in 2010. As the programme ended, there were revelations of corruption involving the funds.
The Oil-for-Food Programme was instituted to relieve the extended suffering of civilians as the result of the comprehensive sanctions on Iraq from the UN, following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990.

SOUNDBITE (English) Sergey Lavrov, Russia's UN Ambassador "I actually haven't heard that anybody said that this was a victory for Baghdad. I don't believe it was a victory for anybody, except for the humanitarian program continuation, which is important at this present juncture. The Council doesn't have a better way to achieve it's objectives. We believe that the best way to achieve the objectives of the Council would be a comprehensive approach. We should involve a very clear agreement on specific criteria on suspending and lifting sanctions in conjunction with resuming of the UN.monitoring in Iraq." 9. Iraq's Ambassador to the UN, Mohammed al-Douri, boards limousine STORYLINE: In what many regard as a victory for Baghdad, the Security Council approved a five-month extension of the UN humanitarian program for Iraq on Tuesday after Britain and the United States dropped a plan to overhaul sanctions on the oil-rich nation to avert a Russian veto. The final vote on the extension of the oil-for-food program was delayed when Russia opposed including a reference to the US-British plan in the resolution. But Moscow eventually agreed to mention a June 1 resolution, which expresses the council's intention to consider the elements in the sanctions overhaul. The council voted less than six hours before the midnight expiration of the current phase of the 4 1/2-year-old program, which allows Iraq to sell oil on condition that the proceeds are spent on food, medicine and other essential goods. Britain decided against pressing for a council vote on its US-backed plan to overhaul the 11-year-old sanctions regime against Iraq in order to try to win Moscow's support in the coming months and avoid a Russian veto. Acting US Ambassador James Cunningham said the plan "would have been adopted today save for a veto but a veto would bring our work to a halt and thus would be a victory for Iraq." Russia's UN Ambassador Sergey Lavrov said: "I don't believe it was a victory for anyone except the humanitarian program." To reach agreement on the extension of the oil-for-food program, the British and Americans dropped a reference to the Security Council's "determination" to agree to a new system of sanctions "at the earliest opportunity." Instead, it included a reference to the June 1 resolution along with several other Iraq-related resolutions passed by the council, "as they relate to the improvement of the humanitarian program for Iraq." The June 1 resolution extended the oil-for-food program for one month and included the guts of the British sanctions overhaul.

USA: WASHINGTON: SUPPORT GIVEN TO UN'S OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAMMEUSA: WASHINGTON: SUPPORT GIVEN TO UN'S OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAMME
English/Nat The United States will support renewal of the United Nations' oil-for-food programme for Iraq. American Secretary of State Madeleine Albright made the decision which was announced by a US State Department Spokesperson on Tuesday. The UN Security Council is expected to vote on the measure on Wednesday. It had been a wait-and-see situation - but the U-S has now reached a decision. Washington will support renewal of the U-N's oil-for-food programme for Iraq. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Yes. The Secretary (Madeleine Albright) has decided that the United States will support the renewal of UN resolution 986, and that is the oil-for-food deal. Now, this agreement benefits the people of Iraq, as it should, it does not benefit in any way the government of Iraq, which does not deserve international support." SUPER CAPTION: Nicholas Burns, US State Department Spokesman Under the humanitarian waiver, Iraq is allowed to sell up to two-billion-dollars worth of oil in order to get money to buy food and medicine. State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns said the US had some concerns about the implementation of the current programme. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We will be watching because we will not support this programme if there's any indication that Saddam Hussein is profiting illegally from it. But we believe that this programme should go forward because the Iraqi people need help - they've had to live with a dictator who does not care about them or their economic welfare." SUPERCAPTION: Nicholas Burns, US State Department Spokesman With the exception of humanitarian oil sales, Iraq has been banned by the United Nations from any other oil exports since its invasion of neighbouring Kuwait in August 1990 which set off the Persian Gulf War. The U-N Security Council is expected to vote on whether to continue the oil-for-food agreement on Wednesday. The agreement expires on Saturday.

In the (Resolution) 1904 obviously the resolution does not meet all the wishes of ourselves, the government of Iraq but we hope it's a step forward. We are working on implementing the resolution, on introducing the new procedures and at least we hope it will clarify all these issues relating to the famous holes." 5. Entrance to UN headquarters Baghdad 6. UN employees outside UN headquarters STORYLINE: The new head of the Oil For Food program in Iraq, Ramiro Armando Lopez De Silva, says changes to the program have not all been welcomed by the UN and the Iraqi government. Lopez De Silva, from Portugal, is the former head of the Transport and Logistics Division at the World Food Program in Rome. The UN says Resolution 1904 adopted on May 14, 2002, implementing the Goods Review List would complicate the distribution of civilian supplies and equipment in Iraq. Lopez De Silva arrived in Baghdad on Friday to take up his new post. The Oil for Food program is one of the largest programs the UN is dealing with. Lopez De Silva takes over the program as America weighs options to topple the Iraqi president. Iraqi opposition leaders met in London recently to discuss their role in any bid to oust Saddam. A regime change in Baghdad is a stated policy of President George W. Bush.

We were not conducting an investigation of the OFF (oil-for-food) programme per say the United Nations, or other nations' actions.

George Galloway Senate Testimony (FULL)
May 17, 2005 British Member of Parliament George Galloway testified at a hearing on how Saddam Hussein manipulated the United Nations' Oil-for-Food Program to win influence and reward friends in order to undermine sanctions imposed on Iraq following the Persian Gulf War. A committee report on alleged abuses of the program had named Minister Galloway as one of several foreign officials who had received lucrative oil allocations in the scheme. Mr. Galloway harshly criticized the report and challenged members to produce evidence of the allegations. He also broadly criticized U.S. policy in Iraq and the decision to use military power to oust the Hussein government. This is not a complete record of the hearing, but contains Mr. Galloway's opening statement in its entirety. Transcript Text: h... -
IRAQ: OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAMME
Arabic/Nat XFA Iraq's vice president has made an unprecedented attack against the United Nations and the Arab League over the "Oil for Food" programme. Taha Yassien Ramadan accused the U-N of failing to approve vital contracts, thereby delaying medicines and other lifesaving services desperately needed by the people of Iraq. The U-N was taking Iraq's fuel and giving little in return, Ramadan said, adding that Secretary General Kofi Annan was virtually in control of Iraq's central bank. The Oil for Food programme, which began in December 1996, is vital for maintaining monthly food rations, medicines, and services like water treatment, electricity, health and education. Ramadan also lashed out at Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, describing them as subservient, tools in the hands of ... -

English/Nat
The Clinton administration says it plans to support the United Nations programme which allows Iraq to sell oil in return for food, despite objections raised by Congress.
Energy Secretary Bill Richardson and Under-Secretary of State Thomas Pickering told a Senate hearing that the "oil for food" program is important for humanitarian reasons, and is the best means available for reining-in Saddam Hussein.
Senators oppose letting Saddam continue with oil sales, arguing that the arrangement has led to a drop in world oil prices and has prolonged the Iraqi President's rule.
Two Senate panels assembled on Wednesday to take issue with President Bill Clinton's plan to allow Iraq to continue to sell oil.
Both Democrats and Republicans appear opposed to Saddam Hussein's oil sales, arguing that the U-N oil for food programme provides him with funds to bolster his regime.
Senators claim that Iraq's presence on the world oil market has led to a drop in crude oil prices.
And they were also concerned at the apparent contradiction in the U-S policy towards Baghdad which bombs oil facilities and then sends aid to help increase oil production.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"On the one hand, we are enhancing his power by allowing him to feed his way along, export his oil, rebuild his infrastructure, to play with world oil prices and on the other hand he refuses to allow us our inspections of his poison gas facilities."
SUPER CAPTION: Senator Frank Murkowski, Senator of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee
Energy Secretary Bill Richardson spent much of the day defending the oil-for food programme.
He said that Iraqi oil production was too insignificant to have a serious effect on the world market, mainly because Iraq's infrastructure is not viable.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"But to say that Iraq is a major player, it's not the swing producer. Saudi Arabia is the swing producer. There is no way that Iraq and the oil-for-food program are making Iraq the swing producer. This applies to countries that have excess oil capacity that they can use to impact world oil markets. Only one country - Saudi Arabia - does that."
SUPER CAPTION: Bill Richardson, U-S Energy Secretary
Richardson did find support from Thomas Pickering, the U-S Under Secretary of State, who believes the "oil-for-food" program is an essential part of the U-S containment policy of Iraq.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Although the oil-for-food program isn't perfect, it is essential to our policy of containing Saddam until there is a new government in Baghdad. Without it, sanctions would be much more difficult to sustain; Saddam Hussein would once again have control over tens of billions of dollars a year to spend on weapons of mass destruction."
SUPER CAPTION: Thomas Pickering, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs
Other senators took a different tack, and expressed worries that Saddam Hussein will use the money earned from the oil-for-food programme to build weapons of mass destruction.
But Richardson says the scheme is tightly controlled and designed to prevent Saddam from diverting the money away from its intended destination.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Saddam Hussein does not like this program, because what we are doing is feeding his people against his will because he wants to use all revenues to increase his weapons of mass destruction, his military capability. Secondly, the oil-for-food program is a very tightly controlled program. The United Nations is able to control how this money is spent. It's not as if he is enriching himself."
SUPER CAPTION: U-S Energy Secretary Bill Richardson
The oil-for-food program comes up for U-N Security Council review in May.

The Clinton administration says it plans to support the United Nations programme which allows Iraq to sell oil in return for food, despite objections raised by Congress.
Energy Secretary Bill Richardson and Under-Secretary of State Thomas Pickering told a Senate hearing that the "oil for food" program is important for humanitarian reasons, and is the best means available for reining-in Saddam Hussein.
Senators oppose letting Saddam continue with oil sales, arguing that the arrangement has led to a drop in world oil prices and has prolonged the Iraqi President's rule.
Two Senate panels assembled on Wednesday to take issue with President Bill Clinton's plan to allow Iraq to continue to sell oil.
Both Democrats and Republicans appear opposed to Saddam Hussein's oil sales, arguing that the U-N oil for food programme provides him with funds to bolster his regime.
Senators claim that Iraq's presence on the world oil market has led to a drop in crude oil prices.
And they were also concerned at the apparent contradiction in the U-S policy towards Baghdad which bombs oil facilities and then sends aid to help increase oil production.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"On the one hand, we are enhancing his power by allowing him to feed his way along, export his oil, rebuild his infrastructure, to play with world oil prices and on the other hand he refuses to allow us our inspections of his poison gas facilities."
SUPER CAPTION: Senator Frank Murkowski, Senator of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee
Energy Secretary Bill Richardson spent much of the day defending the oil-for food programme.
He said that Iraqi oil production was too insignificant to have a serious effect on the world market, mainly because Iraq's infrastructure is not viable.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"But to say that Iraq is a major player, it's not the swing producer. Saudi Arabia is the swing producer. There is no way that Iraq and the oil-for-food program are making Iraq the swing producer. This applies to countries that have excess oil capacity that they can use to impact world oil markets. Only one country - Saudi Arabia - does that."
SUPER CAPTION: Bill Richardson, U-S Energy Secretary
Richardson did find support from Thomas Pickering, the U-S Under Secretary of State, who believes the "oil-for-food" program is an essential part of the U-S containment policy of Iraq.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Although the oil-for-food program isn't perfect, it is essential to our policy of containing Saddam until there is a new government in Baghdad. Without it, sanctions would be much more difficult to sustain; Saddam Hussein would once again have control over tens of billions of dollars a year to spend on weapons of mass destruction."
SUPER CAPTION: Thomas Pickering, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs
Other senators took a different tack, and expressed worries that Saddam Hussein will use the money earned from the oil-for-food programme to build weapons of mass destruction.
But Richardson says the scheme is tightly controlled and designed to prevent Saddam from diverting the money away from its intended destination.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Saddam Hussein does not like this program, because what we are doing is feeding his people against his will because he wants to use all revenues to increase his weapons of mass destruction, his military capability. Secondly, the oil-for-food program is a very tightly controlled program. The United Nations is able to control how this money is spent. It's not as if he is enriching himself."
SUPER CAPTION: U-S Energy Secretary Bill Richardson
The oil-for-food program comes up for U-N Security Council review in May.

STORYLINE:
U-S congressional investigators say Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's regime made more than US 21.3 billion dollars in illegal revenue by subverting the UN's oil-for-food programme.
This is more than double previous estimates.

The new figures on Iraq's alleged surcharges, kickbacks and oil-smuggling are based on troves of new documents obtained by the Senate Government Affairs committee's investigative panel.
Senator Norm Coleman, Republican-Minnesota, whose heads the Senate Committee, received the new information at hearing Monday.
Coleman wants to account for the billions of dollars taken by Saddam Hussein and raised concerns that the money has been used to fight the insurgency against U-S troops in Iraq.
Coleman said the probe is just beginning and that officials aim to discover how the fraud was able to thrive for so long.
He also said he is angry that the United Nations has not provided documents and access to officials that investigators need to move ahead.
Senator Joseph Lieberman, said the whole programme was exploited to raise money for Saddam's military.

British Member of Parliament George Galloway testified at a hearing on how Saddam Hussein manipulated the United Nations' Oil-for-Food Program to win influence and reward friends in order to undermine sanctions imposed on Iraq following the Persian Gulf War. A committee report on alleged abuses of the program had named Minister Galloway as one of several foreign officials who had received lucrative oil allocations in the scheme.

Iraq's vice president has made an unprecedented attack against the United Nations and the Arab League over the "Oil for Food" programme.
Taha Yassien Ramadan accused the U-N of failing to approve vital contracts, thereby delaying medicines and other lifesaving services desperately needed by the people of Iraq.
The U-N was taking Iraq's fuel and giving little in return, Ramadan said, adding that Secretary General Kofi Annan was virtually in control of Iraq's central bank.
The Oil for Food programme, which began in December 1996, is vital for maintaining monthly food rations, medicines, and services like water treatment, electricity, health and education.
Ramadan also lashed out at Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, describing them as subservient, tools in the hands of the United States, responsible for prolonging the embargo and maintaining continuous air raids.
He accused the Secretary General of the Arab League Esmat Abdul Majeed, of receiving bribes from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Esmat Abdul Majeed made his first and only visit to Iraq in 1998.
He met with foreign minister Tariq Aziz.
Ramadan made his comments after a cabinet meeting chaired by President Saddam Hussein.
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"Now I think, and after this grim picture of robbing Iraq's money, I believe it is important and it is the responsibility of officials of the Iraqi leadership that silence over this behaviour (that money generated by the oil-for-food programme is exploited for U-N purposes) cannot continue beyond this time."
SUPER CAPTION: Taha Yassien Ramadan, Iraqi Vice President
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"The Russian leadership have taken the decision to run regular flights to Iraq, and this has been consolidated now. The obstacle in the face of continuing these flights is Iraq's neighbouring countries, And now we are working with some of these state to solve this issue. God willing there will be a solution."
SUPER CAPTION: Taha Yassien Ramadan, Iraqi Vice President
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"Which contributes to implementing the aggression on Iraq and providing requirements of its implementation are the two regimes (Saudi and Kuwait) and without hesitation I say that bribery is a basic element in implementing this policy, including the Arab League and its Secretary General".

9. Iraq's Ambassador to the UN, Mohammed al-Douri, boards limousine
STORYLINE:
In what many regard as a victory for Baghdad, the Security Council approved a five-month extension of the UN humanitarian program for Iraq on Tuesday after Britain and the United States dropped a plan to overhaul sanctions on the oil-rich nation to avert a Russian veto.
The final vote on the extension of the oil-for-food program was delayed when Russia opposed including a reference to the US-British plan in the resolution.
But Moscow eventually agreed to mention a June 1 resolution, which expresses the council's intention to consider the elements in the sanctions overhaul.
The council voted less than six hours before the midnight expiration of the current phase of the 4 1/2-year-old program, which allows Iraq to sell oil on condition that the proceeds are spent on food, medicine and other essential goods.
Britain decided against pressing for a council vote on its US-backed plan to overhaul the 11-year-old sanctions regime against Iraq in order to try to win Moscow's support in the coming months and avoid a Russian veto.
Acting US Ambassador James Cunningham said the plan "would have been adopted today save for a veto but a veto would bring our work to a halt and thus would be a victory for Iraq."
Russia's UN Ambassador Sergey Lavrov said: "I don't believe it was a victory for anyone except the humanitarian program."
To reach agreement on the extension of the oil-for-food program, the British and Americans dropped a reference to the Security Council's "determination" to agree to a new system of sanctions "at the earliest opportunity."
Instead, it included a reference to the June 1 resolution along with several other Iraq-related resolutions passed by the council, "as they relate to the improvement of the humanitarian program for Iraq."
The June 1 resolution extended the oil-for-food program for one month and included the guts of the British sanctions overhaul.

USA: WASHINGTON: SUPPORT GIVEN TO UN'S OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAMME
- Order: Reorder

English/Nat
The United States will support renewal of the United Nations' oil-for-food programme for Iraq.
American Secretary of State Madeleine Albright made the decision which was announced by a US State Department Spokesperson on Tuesday.
The UN Security Council is expected to vote on the measure on Wednesday.
It had been a wait-and-see situation - but the U-S has now reached a decision.
Washington will support renewal of the U-N's oil-for-food programme for Iraq.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Yes. The Secretary (Madeleine Albright) has decided that the United States will support the renewal of UN resolution 986, and that is the oil-for-food deal. Now, this agreement benefits the people of Iraq, as it should, it does not benefit in any way the government of Iraq, which does not deserve international support."
SUPER CAPTION: Nicholas Burns, US State Department Spokesman
Under the humanitarian waiver, Iraq is allowed to sell up to two-billion-dollars worth of oil in order to get money to buy food and medicine.
State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns said the US had some concerns about the implementation of the current programme.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We will be watching because we will not support this programme if there's any indication that Saddam Hussein is profiting illegally from it. But we believe that this programme should go forward because the Iraqi people need help - they've had to live with a dictator who does not care about them or their economic welfare."
SUPERCAPTION: Nicholas Burns, US State Department Spokesman
With the exception of humanitarian oil sales, Iraq has been banned by the United Nations from any other oil exports since its invasion of neighbouring Kuwait in August 1990 which set off the Persian Gulf War.
The U-N Security Council is expected to vote on whether to continue the oil-for-food agreement on Wednesday.
The agreement expires on Saturday.

"We will be watching because we will not support this programme if there's any indication that Saddam Hussein is profiting illegally from it. But we believe that this programme should go forward because the Iraqi people need help - they've had to live with a dictator who does not care about them or their economic welfare."
SUPERCAPTION: Nicholas Burns, US State Department Spokesman
With the exception of humanitarian oil sales, Iraq has been banned by the United Nations from any other oil exports since its invasion of neighbouring Kuwait in August 1990 which set off the Persian Gulf War.
The U-N Security Council is expected to vote on whether to continue the oil-for-food agreement on Wednesday.
The agreement expires on Saturday.

"There is obviously a heavy agenda ahead of me in spite of Resolution 1409 and the GRL (Goods Review List). This is the role of the UN in Iraq is rather complex roll, particularly in the Oil For Food program. It's an enormous program so I have a heavy agenda ahead of me. In the (Resolution) 1904 obviously the resolution does not meet all the wishes of ourselves, the government of Iraq but we hope it's a step forward. We are working on implementing the resolution, on introducing the new procedures and at least we hope it will clarify all these issues relating to the famous holes."

STORYLINE:
The new head of the Oil For Food program in Iraq, Ramiro Armando Lopez De Silva, says changes to the program have not all been welcomed by the UN and the Iraqi government.
Lopez De Silva, from Portugal, is the former head of the Transport and Logistics Division at the World Food Program in Rome. The UN says Resolution 1904 adopted on May 14, 2002, implementing the Goods Review List would complicate the distribution of civilian supplies and equipment in Iraq.
Lopez De Silva arrived in Baghdad on Friday to take up his new post. The Oil for Food program is one of the largest programs the UN is dealing with.
Lopez De Silva takes over the program as America weighs options to topple the Iraqi president. Iraqi opposition leaders met in London recently to discuss their role in any bid to oust Saddam. A regime change in Baghdad is a stated policy of President George W. Bush.

"The bottom line was almost every transaction, it appears, may have been a rip off, may have been a transaction that compromised the UN (United Nations), compromised other people and allowed Saddam Hussein to make money illegally without the world community having to agree that he was. That's the way I look at it. Tell me what's wrong with my picture?"

"Your picture is absolutely correct. It was almost, and I hate to say this, a chess game.

I'm agreeing, sanctions are leaky, the sanctions regime did not work as it intended, i.e. to have 100 per cent."
7. SOUNDBITE (English): Christopher Shays, Chairman, House Governmental Affairs Committee:
"No, don't say 100 percent, because I'm not sure you even had 50 per cent."
8. Committee hearing room
STORYLINE:
American Congressman Christopher Shays called the oil-for-food' program a failure on Tuesday during hearings on the role the United Nations played in the structure of the program.
The committee is hearing testimony on the disappearance of millions of dollars from the fund set up from Iraqi oil sales to buy food and medicines for Iraqis.
The program was created to help the Iraqi people cope with UN sanctions imposed after Saddam Hussein's 1990 invasion of Kuwait. The
program, which ran from 1996 to 2003, allowed the Iraqi government to sell oil primarily to buy humanitarian goods.
Then UN Ambassador Patrick Kennedy said the program successfully provided critical food and medicine to the Iraqi people.
But under heated questioning from Shays, he acknowledged that Cotecna, the company hired to monitor goods coming into Iraq, and Saybolt
International B.V., the company inspecting oil exports, did not have the authority they needed to perform adequate inspections.
Stronger oversight, he said, would have been blocked by other countries on the UN Security Council who did not want to undermine Iraq's sovereignty. Companies from some of those countries also were doing business with Iraq, either buying oil or selling products.
"It was about as leaky as it could get," said Shays. "Almost every transaction may have been a rip-off" that compromised the United Nations and
allowed Hussein to make money.
Executives from Cotecna and Saybolt said they were hampered by poor equipment, dangerous conditions, and relentless efforts by Hussein to exploit the oil sales for illegal profits and kickbacks.
Kennedy sought to present the program as one that had some failures, but also some success. He indicated that program needed to be "more robust."
Shays countered that Kennedy's portrait of the program was wildly inaccurate, claiming it didn't even reach a 50 percent level of success.

Iraq's deputy prime minister, Tariq Aziz, said on Wednesday (22/5) the oil-for-food deal struck with the UN was not enough to meet the Iraqi people's needs. The deal, signed on Monday (20/5) in New York, allows Iraq to export two billion dollars of oil over six months in return for
badly needed food and medicine, but under strict international controls.

Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz: "The agreement which we reached with the United Nations lately is not going to solve not a small problem of the humanitarian suffering of the people of Iraq. It speaks of food and medicine but humanitarian needs are not only food and medicine. There are other basic humanitarian needs which the Iraqi people are still deprived of. So the struggle should continue. This agreement is limited in its effect should not be used to delay the lifting of the sanctions or to be used as pretext to stop discussing and working on the lifting of sanctions."

STORYLINE:
Iraq, a major OPEC producer, has threatened to disrupt its oil exports as early as Monday.
Baghdad announced Saturday that it would stop oil exports from terminals on the Gulf and Mediterranean starting Monday.
An Iraqi Oil Ministry spokesman, said the decision will take effect 8 a.m. local time (0500 GMT).
Iraq's oil minister said Sunday oil deals with neighboring countries will not be affected by the decision to halt oil exports under the U.N. oil-for-food program.
The Iraqi Cabinet chaired by President Saddam Hussein said in a statement Iraq would continue exporting oil to "countries and parties engaged in trade and economical ties with it."
It's not immediately known how long the Iraqi halt of oil exports will last, or how the loss of Iraqi oil on the world market will affect oil prices.
Last year Iraq exported between one to two (m) million barrels of oil per day.
Iraq has the second-largest oil reserves in the world.
Besides its own Gulf export terminals, Iraq exports through a pipeline running from its northern Kirkuk oil fields to the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan.
Oil analysts have speculated that other OPEC nations will either officially adjust output levels or simply leak more oil onto the market to counteract any rise in prices.
On the streets of Baghdad, the market has already responded to the latest news, with an increase in the US dollar.
Iraq's move follows the U.N. Security Council's decision Friday to extend by one month the oil-for-food program under which Iraq exports oil and uses revenues to buy specific humanitarian goods under the international body's supervision.
The Security Council's 30-day extension was made to give Washington and London more time to sell their so-called smart sanctions proposal to other U.N. Security Council members.
China and France, two veto-wielding members of the Security Council, say they needed more time to study draft lists of military-related items that could be banned from Iraq under the British-proposed plan.
The existing oil-for-food program allows Iraq to sell unlimited amounts of oil, but strictly regulates how oil revenues can be spent.
The program's current six-month phase expires Monday.
It also permits commercial and cargo flights in and out of Iraq, but requires they be inspected at their departure points.

6. SOUNDBITE (French) Jean Veil, lawyer representing Total:
"Total is accused in this dossier of having paid middlemen and so to be engaged in corruption in order to obtain some allocations, possibly hidden, of hydrocarbons at a time where Iraq was authorised to sell its oil only against food to feed the local populations. It is obvious that in this affair there hasn''t been any smuggling. One can not imagine that a 500-thousand tons tanker disappears and escapes to the United Nations surveillance. The UN was controlling the entire back and forth oil movements. The French customs were also controlling everything so everybody knew what was going on in terms of oil business."
7. Wide of Veil looking at documents in his office
STORYLINE
A Paris judge has filed preliminary bribery charges against French oil giant Total SA in a corruption case linked to its role in the scandal-ridden United Nations (UN) oil-for-food program in Iraq.
Total also faces preliminary charges of complicity and influence peddling in the case, according to details in the company''s annual financial report that it put online on Friday.
Investigators suspect that (m) millions of dollars were used as under-the-table commissions to obtain entry to countries like Iraq, then under a UN embargo and Russia, where Total was trying to get a foothold.
Total insists it has abided by the rules of the UN oil-for-food program, which started in the 1990s and allowed Saddam Hussein to sell oil in exchange for humanitarian goods.
Under French law, preliminary charges mean the investigating magistrates have strong reason to suspect involvement in a crime, and give them more time to continue investigating.
A lawyer for Total criticised the decision to file preliminary charges against the company because an investigation by another French magistrate was completed in 2007, and last September the prosecutor''s office recommended that charges be dropped against Total Chief Executive Christophe de Margerie and eight other Total employees.
"For me it isn''t based on any fact, on any judicial grounds and I don''t understand at all the reason why this judge has considered that there were enough elements so he could envisage and even decide to indict Total," said Total attorney Jean Veil.
The 64 (b) billion Dollar oil-for-food program was the biggest humanitarian program in UN history.
A UN sanctioned investigation led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker found widespread corruption.
Its final report in October 2005 accused more than 2,200 companies from some 40 countries of colluding with Saddam Hussein''s regime to bilk the humanitarian program of 1.8 (b) billion Dollars.
Under the program, which ran from 1996 to 2003, Iraq was allowed to sell oil provided that most of the money went to buy humanitarian goods.

Investigators suspect that (m) millions of dollars were used as under-the-table commissions to obtain entry to countries like Iraq, then under a UN embargo and Russia, where Total was trying to get a foothold.
Total insists it has abided by the rules of the UN oil-for-food program, which started in the 1990s and allowed Saddam Hussein to sell oil in exchange for humanitarian goods.
Under French law, preliminary charges mean the investigating magistrates have strong reason to suspect involvement in a crime, and give them more time to continue investigating.
A lawyer for Total criticised the decision to file preliminary charges against the company because an investigation by another French magistrate was completed in 2007, and last September the prosecutor''s office recommended that charges be dropped against Total Chief Executive Christophe de Margerie and eight other Total employees.
"For me it isn''t based on any fact, on any judicial grounds and I don''t understand at all the reason why this judge has considered that there were enough elements so he could envisage and even decide to indict Total," said Total attorney Jean Veil.
The 64 (b) billion Dollar oil-for-food program was the biggest humanitarian program in UN history.
A UN sanctioned investigation led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker found widespread corruption.
Its final report in October 2005 accused more than 2,200 companies from some 40 countries of colluding with Saddam Hussein''s regime to bilk the humanitarian program of 1.8 (b) billion Dollars.
Under the program, which ran from 1996 to 2003, Iraq was allowed to sell oil provided that most of the money went to buy humanitarian goods.

Oil for Food - Iraq
May 2005 News that Ahmed Chalabi helped compile the oil for food kickback list has led to questions about its reliability. Now, a high profile anti-war protestor has admitted he was offered oil vouchers by Tariq Aziz When the oil for food programme was established, it was meant to help the Iraqi people. But the main benefactors seem to have been friends of Saddam's regime. "The Iraqi Government wanted to curry favour with those individuals and gave them oil at advantageous prices," claims Claude Hankes-Drielsam, advisor to the Iraqi Governing Council. They were then able to sell the oil on at market prices, reaping millions in profit. Like many of Tariq Aziz's friends, Father Jean Marie Benjamin is accused of accepting these paybacks.

Oil-for-Food Programme
The Oil-for-Food Programme, established by the United Nations in 1995 was established to allow Iraq to sell oil on the world market in exchange for food, medicine, and other humanitarian needs for ordinary Iraqi citizens without allowing Iraq to boost its military capabilities. The programme was introduced by United States President Bill Clinton's administration in 1995, as a response to arguments that ordinary Iraqi citizens were inordinately affected by the international economic sanctions aimed at the demilitarisation of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, imposed in the wake of the first Gulf War. The sanctions were discontinued on 21 November 2003 after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and the humanitarian functions turned over to the Coalition Provisional Authority.

Talk For Food 245 -- Rethinking "Free Energy" with Peter Lindemann, Ph.D.
If you listen to the media and all its experts, we’re in an energy crisis, which includes a mad dash to find new “sources” of fuels that the public has been convinced by “experts,” will run out eventually, if not sooner. Politicians – not “leaders” – justify hostile, aggressive military action, sending young men and women to foreign countries to enforce scarcity-based energy policies, which, is increasingly appearing to be unnecessary, as evidence is mounting that sad shortages themselves are unfounded. Such is the conversation that awaits Talk For Food listeners as Adam visits with Peter Lindemann, PhD., at his home in Spokane, Washington. Dr. Lindemann has been involved in the little known primary energy sector of science for over 40 years. A science historian, Dr. Lindemann tracks ... -

Breaking The Food Seduction - by Dr. Neal Barnard
Whether you're drawn to chocolate, cookies, potato chips, cheese, or burgers and fries, we all have foods we can't seem to resist—foods that sabotage our best efforts to lose weight and improve our health. These foods are winning the battle—but that's because we're fighting it in the wrong place. As physician and leading health researcher Dr. Neal Barnard explains in his groundbreaking book, Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings— and Seven Steps to End Them Naturally, banishing these cravings is not a question of willpower or psychology— it's a matter of biochemistry. Based on the author's research and that of other leading investigators at major universities, his book reveals the diet and lifestyle changes that can break these stubborn craving cycles. -

Crude - The Incredible Journey Of Oil
Crude - The Incredible Journey of Oil From the food on our tables to the fuel in our cars, crude oil seeps invisibly into almost every part of our modern lives.

Coming in the wake of rising global concerns about the continued supply of oil, and increasingly weird weather patterns, Crude spans 160 million years of the Earth's history to reveal the story of oil; from its birth deep in the dinosaur-inhabited past, to its ascendancy as the indispensable ingredient of modern life.

Dai Haihua of China's Ministry of Health told China Daily that their five proposed methods of testing for gutter oil have all been ineffective so far. Gutter oil is used oil that is recollected, refined, and resold as normal cooking oil, and it has become a growing problem in China. Nutritionists have warned that repeated consumption of gutter oil can lead to digestive problems and eventually cancer, but China's government has failed to track it. Gutter oil can be bought for 3,000 Yuan per tonne ($470), but refined and resold as normal cooking oil for up to 10,000 Yuan per tonne ($1,560) at the reta...

News that Ahmed Chalabi helped compile the oil for food kickback list has led to questions about its reliability. Now, a high profile anti-war protestor has admitted he was offered oil vouchers by Tariq Aziz
When the oil for food programme was established, it was meant to help the Iraqi people. But the main benefactors seem to have been friends of Saddam's regime. "The Iraqi Government wanted to curry favour with those individuals and gave them oil at advantageous prices," claims Claude Hankes-Drielsam, advisor to the Iraqi Governing Council. They were then able to sell the oil on at market prices, reaping millions in profit. Like many of Tariq Aziz's friends, Father Jean Marie Benjamin is accused of accepting these paybacks. "He benefited from Saddam Hussein's regime," alleges Hankes-Drielsam. But while Father Benjamin proclaims his innocence, he does admit he was offered oil vouchers: "I told Tariq Aziz I couldn't accept on ethical grounds." He fears the payback list is little more than a means of punishing those who opposed the war. There are also concerns the scandal is being used to divert attention from the real story. Most of the oil exported from Iraq during the embargo years had nothing to do with the UN's programme. It was smuggled into Turkey. As Paul Volcker, Head of the UN Independent Inquiry, explains: "it's a matter of public record" that America knew about this.

Former South African judge and UN human rights prosecutor, Richard J Goldstone, discusses the crucial role of the United States in the development of modern international criminal justice and its role in preventing impunity for war criminals. Goldstone was a judge in South Africa for 23 years, the last nine as a justice of the Constitutional Court. From 1994 to 1996, he was the chief prosecutor of the U.N. International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. He was a member of the U.N. committee to investigate allegations regarding the Iraq Oil for Food Program.

If you listen to the media and all its experts, we’re in an energy crisis, which includes a mad dash to find new “sources” of fuels that the public has been convinced by “experts,” will run out eventually, if not sooner.
Politicians – not “leaders” – justify hostile, aggressive military action, sending young men and women to foreign countries to enforce scarcity-based energy policies, which, is increasingly appearing to be unnecessary, as evidence is mounting that sad shortages themselves are unfounded.
Such is the conversation that awaits Talk For Food listeners as Adam visits with Peter Lindemann, PhD., at his home in Spokane, Washington. Dr. Lindemann has been involved in the little known primary energy sector of science for over 40 years.
A science historian, Dr. Lindemann tracks the development and availability of numerous inexpensive methods to tap into the ocean of energy that exists everywhere, as everything. Of particular interest, and very accessible, is the very phenomenon that we experience as heat. Heat can be converted into power that not only heats, but also cools our environments, and even power our homes.
Imagine the tremendous reduction in the invasive and contaminating methods associated with harvesting fuels from the Earth when you realize that more energy exists in the atmosphere itself than all the gas, coal, and oil combined!
You’ll need to listen to this one several times.

The Christian Science Monitor (CSM) is an international news organization that delivers global coverage via its website, weekly magazine, daily news briefing, email newsletters, Amazon Kindle subscription, and mobile site. It was started in 1908 by Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Church of Christ, Scientist. As of 2011, the print circulation was 75,052.
The CSM is a newspaper that covers international and United States current events. The paper includes a daily religious feature on "The Home Forum" page, but states the publication is not a platform for evangelizing.
On October 28, 2008, Editor John Yemma announced that the Monitor would discontinue its daily print version to focus on web-based publishing. Instead of a daily print edition, CSM would publish a weekly news magazine with an international focus.
Despite its name, the Monitor does not claim to be a religious-themed paper, and says it does not promote the doctrine of its patron church. However, at its founder Eddy's request, a daily religious article has appeared in every issue of the Monitor. Eddy also required the inclusion of "Christian Science" in the paper's name, over initial opposition by some of her advisors who thought the religious reference might repel a secular audience.
Monitor staff have been the recipients of seven Pulitzer Prizes, the most recent in 2002.
1950, Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting: Edmund Stevens, for his series of 43 articles written over a three-year residence in Moscow entitled, "This Is Russia Uncensored."
1967, Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting: R. John Hughes, For his thorough reporting of Indonesia's attempted Transition to the New Order in 1965 and the purge that followed in 1965--66.
1968, Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting: Howard James, for his series of articles, Crisis in the Courts.
1969, Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting: Robert Cahn, for his inquiry into the future of our national parks and the methods that may help to preserve them.
1978, Pulitzer Prize Special Citations and Awards, Journalism: Richard Strout, for distinguished commentary from Washington over many years as staff correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor and contributor to The New Republic.
1996, Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting: David Rohde, for his persistent on-site reporting of the slaughter of thousands of Bosnian Muslims in the Srebrenica Genocide.
2002, Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning: Clay Bennett
In April 2003, after being provided documents by a former Iraqi General, several news organizations (including the Monitor) reported that George Galloway was accused by a U.S. Senate Committee led by Norm Coleman of personally profiting from corruption within the United Nations Oil-for-Food program. The Monitor investigated the matter, concluding that the documents were "almost certainly forgeries," and, in response to a lawsuit by Galloway, apologized in court.
In 2006, Jill Carroll, a freelance reporter for the Monitor, was kidnapped in Baghdad, and released safely after 82 days. Although Carroll was initially a freelancer, the paper worked tirelessly for her release, even hiring her as a staff writer shortly after her abduction to ensure that she had financial benefits, according to Bergenheim. Beginning in August 2006, the Monitor published an account of Carroll's kidnapping and subsequent release, with first-person reporting from Carroll and others involved.

Future of Food - Part 1: India
In the past year, we have seen food riots on three continents, food inflation has rocketed and experts predict that by 2050, if things don't change, we will see mass starvation across the world. This film sees George Alagiah travel the world in search of solutions to the growing global food crisis.
From the two women working to make their Yorkshire market town self-sufficient to the academic who claims it could be better for the environment to ship in lamb from New Zealand, George Alagiah meets the people who believe they know how we should feed the world as demand doubles by the middle of the century.
George joins a Masai chief among the skeletons of hundreds of cattle he has lost to climate change and the English farmer who tells him why food production in the UK is also hit. He spends a day eating with a family in Cuba to find out how a future oil shock could lead to dramatic adjustments to diets. He visits the breadbasket of India to meet the farmer who now struggles to irrigate his land as water tables drop, and finds out why obesity is spiralling out of control in Mexico.
Back in Britain, George investigates what is wrong with people's diets, and discovers that the UK imports an average of 3000 liters of water per capita every day. He talks to top nutritionist Susan Jebb, DEFRA minister Hilary Benn and Nobel laureate Rajendra Pachauri to uncover what the future holds for our food.

Whether you're drawn to chocolate, cookies, potato chips, cheese, or burgers and fries, we all have foods we can't seem to resist—foods that sabotage our best efforts to lose weight and improve our health. These foods are winning the battle—but that's because we're fighting it in the wrong place. As physician and leading health researcher Dr. Neal Barnard explains in his groundbreaking book, Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings— and Seven Steps to End Them Naturally, banishing these cravings is not a question of willpower or psychology— it's a matter of biochemistry. Based on the author's research and that of other leading investigators at major universities, his book reveals the diet and lifestyle changes that can break these stubborn craving cycles.

Crude - The Incredible Journey of Oil
From the food on our tables to the fuel in our cars, crude oil seeps invisibly into almost every part of our modern lives. It is the energy source and raw material that drives transport and the economy. Yet many of us have little idea of the incredible journey it has made to reach our petrol tanks and plastic bags.
Coming in the wake of rising global concerns about the continued supply of oil, and increasingly weird weather patterns, Crude spans 160 million years of the Earth's history to reveal the story of oil; from its birth deep in the dinosaur-inhabited past, to its ascendancy as the indispensable ingredient of modern life.
Filmed on location in 11 countries across five continents, the program's award-winning Australian filmmaker Richard Smith consults the leading international scientific experts to join the dots between geology and economy and provide the big-picture view of oil.
Crude takes a step back from the day to day news to illuminate the Earth's extraordinary carbon cycle and the role of oil in our impending climate crisis. Nearly seven billion people have come to depend on this resource, yet the Oil Age that began less than a century and a half ago, could be over in our lifetimes.
Released: 2007

More info from channal https://www.youtube.com/user/serpentza
China's Ministry of Health announced that they still cannot effectively distinguish "gutter oil" from legitimate cooking oil.
Dai Haihua of China's Ministry of Health told China Daily that their five proposed methods of testing for gutter oil have all been ineffective so far.
Gutter oil is used oil that is recollected, refined, and resold as normal cooking oil, and it has become a growing problem in China.
Nutritionists have warned that repeated consumption of gutter oil can lead to digestive problems and eventually cancer, but China's government has failed to track it.
Gutter oil can be bought for 3,000 Yuan per tonne ($470), but refined and resold as normal cooking oil for up to 10,000 Yuan per tonne ($1,560) at the retail end.
Over 100 tonnes of illegal oil in 14 different provinces have been shut down already according to the People's Daily, but the industry is still reportedly growing.
Larger gutter oil companies can reportedly earn as much as 200 million Yuan a year ($331 million). With the Ministry of Health confirming their inability to test for the waste oil, and millions of lower class looking for an easy buck, it's no surprise that the gutter oil industry is booming.
Feng Ping of the China Meat Research Center told China Daily that "The illegal oil shows no difference in appearance and indicators after refining and purification because the law breakers are skillful at coping with the established standards."
So far, the only potential solution to the gutter oil problem is establishing a government regulated kitchen waste collecting and recycling program.

China's Ministry of Health announced that they still cannot effectively distinguish "gutter oil" from legitimate cooking oil.
Dai Haihua of China's Ministry of Health told China Daily that their five proposed methods of testing for gutter oil have all been ineffective so far.
Gutter oil is used oil that is recollected, refined, and resold as normal cooking oil, and it has become a growing problem in China.
Nutritionists have warned that repeated consumption of gutter oil can lead to digestive problems and eventually cancer, but China's government has failed to track it.
