From deep inside your radio, well ladies and gentlemen, if you ever wondered what makes the folks in Great Britain so polite it's I think it's the fact that they have to talk it's the necessity of talking about the weather almost non-stop because the weather in the United Kingdom would make a sane man swear and so it's just a regiment of restraint that is learned in an early age by undergoing the submission to weather which you know you hear that cliche four seasons in one day try four seasons in one hour none of them good anyway before anything else so ladies gentlemen my let's call it my fixation on the use of the word so at the beginning of answers to questions kind of sound smart has caught
fire with at least some listeners so they're tipping me off to all the various iterations of this annoying habit and today's example comes from far field from radio or television interviews it's a it's a videographer slash interviewer who's I think probably being at paid to attend an interview a gentleman at a booth of a technology manufacturer at a trade show and they each both begin their sentences with so so we hear it at the armed booth so who are you hi I'm John Highland vice president of marketing for the physical IP division so what does that mean what do you do so physical IP is all about ship implementation so what are you showing over here so we're talking today at the show about manufacturing
leadership so getting down there to 14 nanometers kind of like a huge thing right well so actually 14 men nanometers would be kind of a tiny thing but otherwise you're right so hello welcome to the show so The brothers dating in architects, they're coming up for the weekends You never gave her the proper respect, but she still needs the ferry to Cretan Oh, that's a summer place, we got the space, you've got the time
Hey, the summer place, it's so far away, here's another thing, oh, my eyes My eyes, my eyes, my eyes, my eyes She ran away back at 78, just down the beach to the neighbors We brought her back after sunset, her dad said, don't do any favors We're almost here on the patio, she said she needed the sea air She took a flip of the seagulls, and then she'd sink down into her deck chair Oh, that's a summer place, we've got the space, you've got the time Hey, the summer place, it's so far away, here's another thing, oh, my eyes
My eyes, my eyes, my eyes, my eyes At 15, shoplifting was the only game she'd like to play at 40 She's so gorgeous, she thinks about it and decides to play And still she can't help feeling, but good old days don't seem so far away She took a handful of mushrooms, that she got from a surfer She spent the night in the hospital, so the doctors could observe her Oh, that's a summer place, we've got the space, you should drop on by At the summer place, the injuries faded, but the memories last a lifetime
A lifetime, a lifetime From London, England, home of really strange, whether I'm Harry Sharer, welcome you to this edition of the show And now, news from outside the bubble Well, ladies, gentlemen, first of all, I'm sure you heard The news about Rupert Murdoch's impending divorce from Wendy Deng Here's an interesting angle on it from the British newspaper The Telegraph Tony Blair is the godfather of one of the couple's daughters, Rupert and Wendy's daughters He now faces the delicate diplomatic task of deciding whether to support the 82-year-old Tycoon or his 44-year-old wife
Blair was reportedly present in 2010 when the girls, the two daughters, were baptized on the banks of the Jordan He was said to have attended the ceremony, garbed in white That'll remove the stain, Tony Wendy Deng moved to the United States after growing up in China She was befriended by an American woman who taught her English and offered to sponsor her studies Here in the States, after having taken up the offer and moved in with the family She embarked upon an affair with the woman's husband He duly divorced his wife and married Wendy The marriage lasted four months during which time she gained a green card All you really need to know, don't you think? Anyway, a spokesman for Blair tells The Telegraph, quote, We are not making any comment on the matter This comes up because one of the people most avid in calling for the United States and Great Britain to help the Syrian rebels aside from John McCain
is Tony Blair According to the Guardian, Britain should arm the Syrian rebels and consider opposing a no-fly zone of a Syria to prevent, quote, Catastrophic consequences according to Tony Blair He said the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government and the involvement of Iran in the Civil War meant intervention was necessary Blair said the conflict was no longer a civil war We should be taking a more interventionist line, he said You've got to create the circumstances in which Assad is not able to change the balance of power within the struggle by the use of outside forces He suggested regime change in Syria was inevitable It's exactly, he says, the arguments we went through over Iraq Tony Blair, thanks for the warning, Tony Blair ladies and gentlemen, makes his money these days advising dictators in countries like Kazakhstan
But he gains his gravitas from being some sort of a roving peace ambassador in the Middle East And you don't really need a roving peace ambassador in the Middle East unless the place is at war News from outside the bubble, did I say that was a copyrighted feature of this broadcast? I mean it Of course though, don't worry about Wendy Deng, she will have a nice settlement, although not the rich settlement that Rupert's second wife Anna got because this time he got a prenup I can assure you that the board will give full consideration to everything you've just said Thanks Rupert, I just don't want Well, I do want to add to your embarrassment actually, I think we can stand that embarrassment
Okay, good deal, and now ladies and gentlemen, news of our friend, the Adam Clean, safe, too cheap to meet, safe, cheap, too cheap to meet, cheap, safe, too cheap to meet, safe, too cheap to meet, safe, safe, too cheap to meet Addy, our friend, the Adam, do you have a good vacation? Yeah, great one Feel refreshed in everything? Yeah, not only quarks in a row All right then, a simulated nuclear accident in Scotland in Ayrshire, Shire Saw unacceptable delays in emergency response times according to an official report And dress your hair still a good show Hmm, exercise senator was conducted in September 2011 by the British Ministry of Defense The exercise simulated an accident involving a truck carrying nuclear warheads on a highway in a hypothetical scenario which involved 1,000 personnel or more from 21 separate agencies
The warheads catch fire and begin leaking radioactive material into the air Could never happen, it's totally hypothetical Designed to test multi-agency response times and reactions, the official report found a number of shortcomings The report from the Ministry of Defense notes that it took five and a half hours for a specialist team to arrive at the scene of the accident described as realistic but not adequate Reality is never adequate Hmm, the lack of support created quote, major difficulties for the multi-agency response which struggled to attain a meaningful understanding of the issues according to the report I struggle at that every day Scientific and technical advice provided by the Ministry of Defense to local agencies was also deemed not adequate with no apparent leadership or structure And repeated changes in representatives from the staff responsible for providing technical information With times disputed advice provided by local agencies, meanwhile agencies at the accident site responsible for treating casualties
Quote became disorganized and it was, quote, less than clear who was in charge of medical arrangements at the scene Maybe they need more rest There was, quote, considerable delay in developing a plan to manage casualties contaminated with radioactivity and, quote, significant further delay in sending paramedics into the contaminated area to help casualties As a result of the delays, exercise controllers said that a seriously injured casualty who might otherwise have survived had died Oh, he didn't really, it's just simulated Simulated death, that's right The report also noted that personnel tasked with briefing the media about the incident were misdirected to the wrong location And it was not until day two of the exercise that a press conference was held What? I'm not a big fan of press conferences, I've never had one Nuclear plant operators will have to pay compensation of up to $1 billion Canadian to those affected by an accident, understood to be introduced legislation
Says the Canadian federal natural resources minister, Joe Oliver, acquitted the proposal says that still amounts to a subsidy for nuclear power Since the actual damages will probably range far above that Is it Canadian dollars anyway? They're worth more than ours now Yes, the private company that manages nuclear waste tanks at Hanford in Washington spent millions and taxpayer funds over a period of a year Despite evidence, the work would never be used Documents obtained by the Seattle television station King five So the federal government's prime contractor, Washington River Protection Solutions We got too many solutions in search of a problem these days ladies and gentlemen That contractor spent as much as $14.2 million on work to prepare a tank to serve as the primary feed for Hanford's waste treatment plant That was chosen to be the first tank to gather and mix waste from dozens of other tanks at the huge nuclear reservation That would be piped to the waste treatment plant to be converted into stable glass logs
Just imagine Christmas time sitting watching a nice glass log Yes, I can The treatment plant is under construction but riddled with design and technical problems It's uncertain when the plant will be finished or operational Until that happens, the 28 double shell tanks at the site including the one selected as the prime feed tank are expected to keep the radioactive And chemically contaminated nuclear waste safely stored underground But starting in about a year and a half ago, leak detection instruments showed that for the first time at Hanford, one of those double shell tanks was breaking down and leaking Nuclear waste was leaking into the tank's annulus. I have mine checked over here. That's a good thing The contractor did not do a thorough inspection to confirm the leak Instead the company pressed on with the original plan of preparing the tank as an important waste feeder using millions of government funds to continue preparation work Work the company earned bonus awards on
We knew we should change direction after the instrumentation show the tank was leaking, said an instrument technician for the project The man who first discovered the leak, Mike Jeffery, there was no way it would ever be used as a feed tank But instead we wasted a year of designing when we could have been using that time and money to investigate using another tank The leak, which was confirmed to the public only last year, rendered much of that work useless The type of mixing work that the tank would be used for, were put into operation, could potentially make the leak worse Which could lead to spilling large volumes of radioactive waste into the annulus where it would be exposed to the outer wall and eventually the surrounding soil That tank already contains some of the most dangerous radioactive elements, the sludge and liquid in it contained radioactive isotopes of plutonium, an amerecium, strontium and cesium Yes, my four faves, the 865,000 gallons of waste in that tank is considered the most hazardous at all, of all at Hanford In part because of the extremely high heat load sitting at the bottom of the tank due to the amount of strontium 90 in it
Then is that very best strontium money can buy, 90, they don't mess around with the 89 The leak in a massive thank you, the leak in a massive underground tank at Hanford has grown significantly worse since it was first announced According to sources who have seen new inspection video and photographs The sources who spoke with that same television channel said the amount of waste that is spilled out of the tank has grown substantially in recent months Nothing from you I have no leaks. Dateline Brussels nuclear power plants in the European Union should be tested every six years for safety shortfalls That was according to a proposal this week in a bid to draw lessons from the Fouke meltdown Quote, the fact remains there are 132 nuclear reactors in Europe today, said EU Energy Commissioner Gunther Oettinger Quote, our task is to make sure that safety is given the utmost priority in every single one of them
So checking them every six years would be the utmost priority Tokyo Electric Power Company has issued another correction for groundwater radiation at the Fouke No. 1 nuclear complex, now it says it's only a tenth of what it announced earlier this month This was the second time the beleaguered utility has changed its estimate of contamination in the groundwater It's desperately seeking fishermen's consent to divert or dump the least tainted portions of the water into the Pacific Ocean To prevent it from mixing with highly radioactive water accumulating in the reactor buildings When it runs out of storage space, the tainted water will flood the premises and the environment making the decommissioning process incredibly difficult The latest correction could deal another blow to TEPCO's efforts to dump the water by further damaging It's already low credibility. The radioactive water accumulating in the plant is a natural result of the makeshift cooling apparatus set up to keep the fuel from melting again There's no shift like makeshift
It is my favorite form of post-nuclear accident response, makeshift More about the results of or the after effects of the Fukushima accident, researchers from the Institute for Environmental Science and Technology and the Department of Physics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona have studied the spread of radioactive strontium Is that strontium? In the coastal waters of eastern Japan during the three months following the Fuk accident The samples analyzed show the impact of the direct release of radioactive materials into the Pacific, indicating that the amount of strontium-90 discharged into the sea during the three months was between 90 and 900 terabeckarels raising levels in the water by up to two orders of magnitude What? Yeah It's the best strontium? I know, money can buy Keeping the meltdown-stricken-fook plant in northeastern Japan in stable condition requires a cast of thousands increasingly the plant's operator is struggling to find enough workers that trend that many expect to worsen the hamper project, the progress in the decades-long effort to safely decommission it
TEPCO is finding it can barely meet the headcount of workers required to keep the three-broker reactors cool while fighting power outages and leaks Say, current and former nuclear plant workers and others familiar with the situation, construction jobs are already plentiful in the area Who do the necessity of rebuilding after the tsunami? Other public work spending planned by the government under a stimulus program is likely to make well-paying construction jobs more abundant and less risky, better-paid, deconamination project in the region Are another draw. Some Fook veterans are already quitting as their cumulative radiation exposure approaches levels risky to health Say, too long-time Fook workers who spoke to the Associated Press requesting anonymity because they're speaking to the media is a breach of their employer's policy and they say being publicly identified will get him fired Well, they're already irradiated, but no, I don't be that way. TEPCO spokesman Ryo Shimizu denied any shortage of workers saying the decommissioning is progressing fine
That's a good spokesman. That is. The government and TEPCO say they may be able to start removing the melted fuel inside the crippled nuclear reactors around 18 months earlier than initially planned That's good news. Although the action would still be years away. That's bad news. The process would have- thank you. The process would reportedly begin with the removal of fuel assemblies from the outside reactor spent fuel pools At units 1 to 4, the latter of which was rightly reported to have been exposed to the atmosphere when the building housing the reactor was blown up in a hydrogen explosion It sounds like good stuff. Let's make shift. According to a revised plan to decommission four reactors of the six reactor complex, the extremely challenging task of removing melted fuel from reactors 1 to 3, which suffered the core meltdowns and from the exposed fuel pool of unit 4 could start within the first half of fiscal 2020 If the efficiency of preparation work is improved, but the government of TEPCO still believe it will take 30 to 40 years to complete the decommissioning process
I got that. I got the much time on me TEPCO said this week it is transferred all 24,000 tons of highly radioactive water from leaky underground tanks to surface tanks at FUK Utility moved highly radioactive water to steel surface tanks after leaks were found in the underground tanks in early April. The cause of the leaks remains unknown Have you had a leaky roof? Yes, I have. It's hard to figure out where leaks come from. You're right. Excel Energy's Modicello Minnesota nuclear power plant on the Bank of the Mississippi River has been unprepared for worst case flooding for a long time. Federal regulators said this week in a finding they say has substantial safety significance Inspector said Excel's flood fighting efforts, including dicks, could not have been completed in the 12 days required. Some work would have taken twice that time
The finding is the Modicello plant's most serious safety shortcoming. This problem was ranked yellow one level short of red almost serious Three other new three other US nuclear plants belonging to other utilities also have been cited recently for unsatisfactory flood fighting plans That's bad news for Excel. They're going to be punished. Interesting you'd say that they face no penalty even if the substantial safety significance finding is confirmed It will be put in a category of more closely monitored plants. Well, there's your accountability. There is. Over in France scientists are studying clay geology to see if it can safely house the country's deadliest nuclear waste. France is seeking the safest option for its mounting stockpiles of highly radioactive and long life nuclear waste.
The planned repository a third of a mile underground is provide norse protests. They can scream all they want says a socialist lawmaker who has spearheaded the project for almost a quarter century in the end parliament will have the last word. Here's your socialist for you. The installation is designed to hold French military and civilian atomic waste some of which can remain dangerous for more than 100,000 years. France has been around for that long. I don't think so. The French project has cost about 1.5 billion euros since 1991 runs about 100 million euros a year. The amount doesn't include the 400 million euros and subsidies since 2000 for the two administrative districts straddled by the waste site and of course they haven't buried any waste yet. Give them time. Oh, they're going to need time. And finally, ladies and gentlemen, in the what the Fract Department radioactive waste unearthed by hydraulic fracturing is becoming a serious problem in Ohio according to a new report released by the Freshwater Accountability Project Ohio. The report was authored by Marvin Resnickoff, a physicist at the University of Michigan.
He points to what he says is a failure to properly dispose of radioactive waste from fracking. What? You can have radioactive waste from fracking. Yeah. I feel better. I feel better than James Brown. Good. He says these waste make their way into municipal landfills in Ohio costing the natural gas industry 100th of what the nuclear industry pays to dispose of similar low level radioactive waste. It's evident. He says environmental concerns are trumped by the economics beneficial to the fracking industry. He also says the industry simply doesn't want to take responsibility for the radioactive waste. It produces who does clean, cheap, safe. Two wasteful to meter our friend, the Adam. Thank you, Eddie. Thank you. Oh good. No more studying, history, and no more ranging
ography, and no more doubty Hungry because it's over time It's time to extract for the mills It's time to live in house and thrills Come along and have a ball Are regular, free for all Well, are you coming or are you waiting? You saw put some in one complaint Are we up before I said it some a time? Well, I'm so happy that I can live for all I'd love to Take a tip, I'm sorry, teach it but Sip you left because it's over time It's time to extract for the mills It's time to live in house and thrills Come along and have a ball Are regular, free for all Well, we'll go swimming every day No turn to work, just time to play If your fuss comes and you'll say it some a time And every night we'll have to discuss What's the vacation with?
All from it's home in this gigantic meet In a trance because it's over time It's time to extract for the mills It's time to live in house and thrills Come along and have a ball Are regular, free for all It's so a time Let's have a ball, make some a time Some a time, some a time, some a time Some a time, some a time, some a time Some a time, some a time, some a time Some a time, some a time, some a time, some a time Some a time, some a time, some a time, some a time Some a time, some a time, some a time It's so a time This is Lesho And ladies and gentlemen, please give So that public radio can have a new voice NPR, according to an announcement, made public A couple of weeks ago Is looking for a, quote, a great voice talent With production chops to match To be the voice of NPR's national funding credits You'll record all of NPR's support for this program Comes from announcements in our national programs
Heard by millions of people each week You'll get to say, this is NPR each day This is more than a voice gig I'm still quoting We're looking for someone with serious production chops You should bring a voice that's clear, confident, and welcoming And be a bit tingly at the thought that your voice will be part of public radio's daily connective tissue All across the country Bonus points for ability to sound authentic on the radio We're not looking for the voice of God, unquote And they're not the only ones From CPR Continental Public Radio This is Up To Here Up To Here
CPR's weekly look at the day's news I'm Milton Getzler For almost ten years, all of CPR's broadcasts from all and all to book bag From, as a matter of fact, to up to here, have ended with credits identifying those persons and organizations whose generosity makes these programs necessary Now, CPR's looking for a new voice to read those credit announcements And the auditions have just begun For CPR's Ira Zipkin wandered down the hall to be a hopefully unsquashed fly on the wall We're rolling anytime Can you cue me please? Anytime, on your own cue, I'm reading Okay Support for CPR comes from the Shetlinger Foundation Making dreams come true and turning truth into dreams That's fine, thank you
I'm sorry, that was Shetlinger wasn't it I don't know, I'm reading In Studio 3C of CPR's new headquarters building, a very special set of auditions is taking place Call it the search for the voice of a network Or I'll call it that and you just keep listening And what you're looking for is both evanescent and palpable CPR is senior executive producer Adish Larman A voice that evokes the CPR mission, and at the same time is a pain to the enduring miracle of wealth Really? A little down but excellent, thank you My name's Mike Gray, I worked here about 25 years ago When CPR was just starting to gain some fundraising traction
I'd love to work on my head a little bit Now I think I'd really love to get back into the whole public radio dimension Recruitment members have flooded the internet And applicants have come here to Studio 3C from as far away as two metro stops down And what's remarkable as always at CPR is the diversity Rolling Live on CPR is made possible by the Life Insurance Institute Life is for a living Excellent and tell us your name once again I'm Tom Brokaw Jr Wonderful, thank you It's so difficult to put your finger on anything let alone what we're looking for here It's some intangible sense of what it means to be proud of not needing the money And at the same time grateful for actually getting it CPR's goal is to have all the funding credits across all its programs spoken in one consistent voice But some CPR hosts weren't thrilled with that decision
Well of course I'd gotten used to doing the credits on my programs including this one All in all host Milton Getzler So it was hard for me for the first few weeks not to pick this move personally But then I realized it adds to my credibility not to have to mention all those foundations and corporations And besides it means I get out of the studio 20 seconds earlier every day so I think it's going to work out And Roland Support for CPR comes from pork so much more than pig meat That's wonderful, thank you honey Edish Lorman hopes to have the process narrowed down to 20 semi-finalists Sometime during the third fiscal quarter of next year I'm Iris Itkin down the hall in studio 3c Can we stop rolling now? And for now you're up to here
Maybe for the last time let me say we had helped today from the Sandler Foundation Making a difference by being different Join us next time for another deep dive into the weeds on up to here I'm Milton Getzler in Washington This is CPR Continental Public Radio And this is your show station and your show host on the show thing Ladies and gentlemen now from the annals of accountability Which are incredibly shrinking annals as you probably have noticed Or annuluses, deadline-united nations, more people must be held accountable for the 2010 collapse of the Kabul Bank in Afghanistan And the agency also calls the United Nations does for robust action on asset recovery and financial regulation
It's essential to ease foreign donor worries and ensure continued aid And Afghan court did sentence 20 men in March including the bank's founder and chief executive to between four and five years in jail Almost a billion dollars was stolen from what was then Afghanistan's largest bank You would secretary general Bunky Moon describe those sentences as relatively light Instead the convictions must not signal the end of accountability in this scandal The collapse of the Kabul Bank triggered a financial crisis, civil disorder, and a run in deposits The government was forced to bail out the bank, that never happens Which was later relaunched as the new Kabul Bank I guess the reputational damage wasn't enough to make them want to really change the name And as if a rebuke to Bunky Moon comes this Wells Fargo Bank has reportedly agreed to a $42 million settlement after being accused by the national fair housing alliance Of neglecting the maintenance and marketing of four closed homes in black and Latino neighborhoods
Leaving them derelict The settlement follows a year-long investigation by the NFHA that revealed the homes serviced by Wells Fargo in minority communities were allowed to fall into disrepair Wells Fargo has not admitted any wrongdoing in the case As part of its settlement the bank will provide $27 million to non-profit groups to promote home ownership Which I guess means people taking out mortgages from Wells Fargo In addition we'll provide $11.5 million to the Department of Housing and River Development to help 25 other cities The department did not rule on whether Wells Fargo violated any laws There's your accountability Mr. Moon And that you can take to the Moon And now ladies and gentlemen let's catch up on what's been learned so far about the surveillance of you and me by our very own government Because I'm not really sure about you
Sunday's Washington Post expands our knowledge of what the national security agencies, the NSA's scope and scale of surveillance programs is in the years since the Bush administration When the new nominee to head the FBI James Comey threatened to resign because he thought the Bush administration surveillance programs were illegal Shortly thereafter the Bush president Bush or whoever was acting in his name back down And then shortly thereafter the foreign intelligence surveillance court that secret court issued a remarkable ruling Defining what business records meant in cases where the FBI had asked for information on the phone calls of a certain target They ruled that the business records vents forth would include all databases from the phone company not just relating to that particular targeted person
And that opened the door to where we are today meanwhile Well in this case James Clapper the director of national intelligence you know the deny he testified before a Senate committee in March And one of the few senators disturbed by all this surveillance Thinking thinking it messes with civil liberties or something asked him this question Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans? No sir It does not Not wittingly There are cases where they could inadvertently perhaps collect but not wittingly Of course in the wake of the revelations of the last couple of weeks
That doesn't appear to be true Something that James Clapper the deny director of national intelligence admitted this week I responded in what I thought was the most truthful or least untruthful manner by saying no That he said because the question he was asked did not lend itself easily to us or no answer So we answered no In a seemingly unrelated development RT the cable and online 24 hour news channel owned by the Russian government Announced recently it's hiring Larry King to bring his brand of talk show to the RT channel And here's a sample Back here in this wonderful new studio RT is built me mixing and it look like Sid's Delhi Unrivington Street
Tomorrow on the program a very important panel with Carl Woodward and Vladimir Putin Right now here in a Los Angeles studio an old friend of every show I've had since the all night radio thing The former lead singer of the boy band Smash of the 90s boys are us Do we go ahead and do we welcome to the new show? Thanks Mr. King I gotta say lucky I didn't know the Russians had studios like this during my boy band days I might have defected Hey best portion town right downstairs Ah that's uh that's the beat thing right? Hey you're all about the beat So do we yeah you're looking younger and better than ever wouldn't you been up to? Well Mr. King I've been away for about six months having a life peel Huh what's that? It's a face peel done by a life coach and I have to tell you I just feel not just refreshed but actually fresh That's great now your band reunited a while back how's that going?
Well some of the guys are in rehab, a summer in D-hab So I just thought it's maybe the right time to rekindle my solo ambitions Now you've always brought us preview copies of your solo events that way you hit a night? Well of course I'm here just to touch base with you Mr. King Yes I do have a song I've been in the studio working on with my wicked great producer DJ Booth And it's a song we wrote this week after we saw all the hassle the spy guy got for testifying in the Congress That's James Clappa I guess that's his name But people were on his butt for him saying that his testimony was his least untruthful answer And yet something about that just rang very almost true for me so this is that song Alright we're gonna hear it now unless you cut me off We wouldn't do that to you I guess it's called least untruthful answer Alright the great doing on You don't have to lie to me
Don't have to tell the truth All I want to hear is what you're saying Because when I stop believing it's like when I lose a tooth and hoping that it's so It's just like praying So speak with lots of fibers of your pain Fight disbelief It's another form of cancer Let me know there aren't that many shadows of a doubt Please give me your least untruthful answer What I want to know from you is more than I can know
It's only that my ignorance is showing So when I ask you questions don't let it bring you down It only means I'll be staying instead of going So talk to me from somewhere new your heart Been kept on through the facts just like a dancing don't need a stack of bibles Don't even need to swear on one Just give me your least untruthful answer
Give me your least untruthful answer My faith in you, it can't be tarnished When it's vanished So speak with lots of fibers of your pain Fight disbelief, it's another form of cancer Let me know there aren't that many shadows of a doubt
Please give me your least untruthful answer Do it Gordon, we got just a couple of seconds do you going to be performing anyway? Sir, if enough people are watching this, you never know Thanks pal, till tomorrow from I.T. in Hollywood, good night The moon was all a glow and heaven was in your eyes The night that you told me those little white lies
The stars all seem to know that you didn't mean all those sides The night that you told me those little white lies I tried but there's no forgetting when evening appears I sighed but there's no regretting in spite of my tears The devil was in your heart but heaven was in your eyes The night that you told me those little white lies I tried but there's no forgetting when evening appears
I sighed but there's no regretting in spite of my tears Who wouldn't believe those lips who ever cut down those eyes The night that you told me those little white lies Those little white tiny white little white lies And now ladies and gentlemen, news of the Olympic moment
Produced by Jim Errissal, Jr. Deadline Rio de Janeiro In 20 years, Inal Vabrito is lived under threat of eviction from her house and poor community of Vila Autodromo The Rio government has given several reasons why demolition of housing there is necessary but a stronger motive lies behind the latest pressures Multimillion dollar projects for the 2016 Olympic Games The 66 year old teacher is one of 170,000 Brazilians who were at risk of losing or who have already lost their homes
Enforced evictions linked to preparations for the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016, according to Reuters, quoting the Human Rights Organization Witness The one year countdown to the World Cup kick off began this past Wednesday The country is far behind schedule on many projects to host the prestigious games as well as the Olympics In Rio alone, the government has resettled 19,220 families since 2009, according to the government A watchdog group says about 40,000 people are going through eviction in Rio maybe more We are seeing a series of human rights violations especially when it comes to the right to housing says Renato Costantino A researcher at the Brazilian Human Rights Group Global Justice The teacher said since the government first sent bulldozers into Vila Autodroma and residents filed their first civil action against their removal in 1993 There's been no dialogue, no public consultation
Says the human rights spokesman, many evicted communities don't even know the reason for it Nor have they seen a project Rio's housing office told Reuters Evictions are a part of a citywide drive to provide comfortable and safe urban mobility to its citizens The city plans to construct a major bus terminal and two new high-capacity fast lanes for the buses on the land to be cleared To connect to Rio's international airport in time for the games The remaining land will be used during the games for the International Broadcasting Center and the main press center in the Olympics Park After the games, it will become a public area Although the teacher, quoted by Reuters, is suspicious saying there's a project to build condos on her land after the games According to the human rights spokesman 75% of the Olympics Park area is supposed to be made available to the private sector for hotels and apartment buildings
The Rio government told Reuters it's offered the residents the option to move to a housing project under construction One kilometer from their community, the My House My Life project is due for completion Next year The teacher says residents have the right to remain and will not agree this is public land We have the title of use document It should be designated for the people who have been here 20% of the residents have agreed to move The rest The Olympics It's a movement in more ways than one and we all need one Every day
And now just quickly time for a few apologies of the week Won't you?
