Virunga: UK oil firm accused of bribery in DR Congo national park

Posted by

British oil company Soco International paid off an army officer accused of silencing critics of exploration in Democratic Republic of Congo’s Virunga National Park, an NGO alleges.

Global Witness published scans of four cheques totalling $15,600 (14,000 euros) allegedly issued by Soco’s Congolese subsidiary to the major posted to the park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to many of the world’s critically endangered mountain gorillas.

The British NGO also published what it said was a receipt for the cheques signed by the officer on May 15, 2014, along with another dated April 30, 2014, confirming he had received $26,650 (24,000 euros).

In a statement SOCO said they “strongly refute any suggestion that this funding was in any way improper or connected with alleged acts of intimidation or violence.“

Posted by

Clint and Ti took in the highly anticipated new installment in the Jurassic Park franchise. They’ll let you know whether it lived up to its legacy, and whether Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and the CGI dinosaurs turned in worthy performances. Subscribe: http://goo.gl/9AGRm

Ti and Clint both carried high hopes and expectations into this sequel to the wildly popular 1990s franchise. They’ll let you know if Colin Trevarrow’s Jurassic World lived up, and if he did a good job continuing the story i n Steven Spielberg’s world.

Are you going to see Jurassic World? Have you seen it? What did you think? Did you feel like it stood well on its own, or did it feel like it was re-treading old ground (ground covered in dinosaur footprints, obvs)? What did you think of Chris Prat’s character? Do you think there should (or will) be more sequels?

Let us know in the comments!

Syria: living under the horrors of barrel bombs in Aleppo

Posted by

Barrel bombs, indiscriminate weapons responsible for the deaths of 11,000 civilians in the Syrian civil war, are the increasing weapons of choice of the Assad regime.

The Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, based in Britain, has said around 7,000 barrel bombs have been dropped by the Syrian regime in the first five months of 2015, killing around 3,000 people – mostly civilians – and these numbers continue to rise.

Barrel bombs are oil barrels, fuel tanks and gas cylinders packed with explosive, fuel and metal fragments that are dropped from helicopters.

They devastate the surrounding areas where they land, and those not killed in the blast are often maimed by flying shrapnel. Chemical weapons such as chlorine are also often deployed in the barrels.
