On the Edge with Max Keiser-US Stock Markets.

PressTVGlobalNews | October 23, 2010 - This program is about the bursting of the predictions that bubble in the stock markets. The guest, Rick Ackerman, says that the market is very fragile and it is inherited from the past economic mistakes. The US government is blamed for creating such mammoth bubble by helping the creditors after the 2007 financial crisis. If debtors and foreclosure-hit house owners were aided, today the economy would be back on its feet.

The US housing market and fraud allegation is also a hot-button issue in this program. The guest says the dollar would finally collapse and such a collapse would be sudden, without any advance warning. He is, however, upbeat about the future of resource-based countries like Canada and Australia.

Harry Belafonte: Iraq & Afghanistan Wars Are "Immoral, Unconscionable and Unwinnable"

"The President’s decision to escalate the war in that region alone costs the nation $33 billion," the legendary musician, actor and activist Harry Belafonte said at Saturday’s "One Nation Working Together" in Washington. "That sum of money could not only create 600,000 jobs here in America, but would even leave us a few billion to start rebuilding our schools, our roads, our hospitals and affordable housing. It could also help to rebuild the lives of the thousands of our returning wounded veterans." 

Oxfordshire town sees human waste used to heat homes.

The sewage is cleaned before it 

is turned into useful biomethane

Householders in Didcot have become the first in the UK to use gas made from their own human waste and supplied via the national grid to heat their homes.

Up to 200 Oxfordshire homes will be using biomethane made from sewage they had flushed away three weeks earlier.

British Gas, Thames Water and Scotia Gas Networks now hope to roll out the process across the UK.

According to an EU directive, by 2020 the UK must ensure 15% of the energy it produces comes from renewable sources.

Martin Orrill, head of energy, technology and innovation at British Gas told the BBC News website supplying this type of gas through the national grid was a logical step in the UK's bid to meet these targets.

He added that customers had no need to feel squeamish but should be proud of taking part in the unusual recycling effort.

Saturday’s "One Nation" March on Washington Was "More Movie than Movement"

"Sadly, the One Nation that came together in Washington was not there to be organized into an ongoing force," writes longtime media analyst Danny Schechter. "No follow-up program was announced, no emails collected, no vision on how to turn all that energy on the Mall into a powerful progressive alternative to the tea party was offered.
