#UK - Deepcut verdict: recruit Cheryl James took her own life: Channel 4 News

Published on 3 Jun 2016

TheStreet: Technology Is Killing U.S. Jobs Says Jim Cramer

Published on 3 Jun 2016
Technology is evolving quickly and that digitization is destroying a lot of U.S. jobs, said TheStreet's Jim Cramer on the heels of the worse-than-expected May employment report. The 38,000 jobs created in May fell well short of consensus expectations of around 160,000. Also not helping the employment figures is the fact that coal, rail and oil jobs are 'going away' more quickly than people expected. Even banks are shutting down branches because of smartphone apps that reduce the need for bricks-and-mortar outposts.

#USA - economy suffers weakest growth since 2010 adding 38,000 jobs: wochit Business

Published on 3 Jun 2016
The US economy added just 38,000 jobs in May for the weakest growth since 2010. It gained 122,000 fewer jobs than expected ahead of a crucial meeting of the Federal Reserve. The department of labor announced Friday that the unemployment rate slipped down to 4.7%. A strike by 40,000 Verizon workers impacted the numbers. However, including them in the count would still account for less than half of expected job growth. The massively disappointing report is the last before the Fed’s next two-day meeting on June 14 when the US central bank may raise interest rates again. It is sure to add to speculation that a rate hike could be delayed until July

Hummingbird Resources (LON:HUM) eyeing Mali gold production in 16 months: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 3 Jun 2016
Bert Monro, head of business development at Hummingbird Resources PLC (LON:HUM), says the fundraise for up to £52.7mln for the Yanfolila gold mine in Mali has been “extremely well supported by new and existing shareholders, and management are taking part as well.”

He expects the project to be high margin, explaining that “the combination of the grade and open-pit mining means that you’re able to drive extremely high returns.” Crucially Hummingbird anticipates gold production in around 16 months time.

Monro says Hummingbird is looking to hire some key positions both for the immediate construction as well as over the longer-term and, because not too many projects are currently being commissioned globally, it makes the job of hiring “world-class” people that bit easier.

Mortice (LON:MORT) going from strength to strength - Chairman: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 3 Jun 2016
The past year has been a good one for security and facilities management company Mortice Limited (LON:MORT), and executive chairman Manjit Rajain expects this strong performance to continue over the coming 12 months.

“We’ve enjoyed consistent growth and the last year has been a really great one,” says Rajain. “I’m quite sure that the company will continue to grow and do well as it has done in the past.”

He says that Mortice is starting to benefit from some of the synergies being delivered by its portfolio companies, which is helping the growth.

Rajain also touches on the subject of acquisitions, stating that the company will look for more in the future, but cautions it can take time to find the right kind of buy.

Huge opportunity for Eckoh (LON:ECK) in behind-the-times US: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 2 Jun 2016
“We retain our focus on the US which is definitely our number one strategic goal,” says Nik Philpot, chief executive of Eckoh PLC (LON:ECK). The boss of the secure payments and customer contact systems says he is “very confident” about making more multi-million US dollar deals with enterprise customers particularly as the market was “heating up nicely” and momentum building.

Philpot is seeing good progress from every part of the group particularly in the US. “There’s huge opportunity for us there. It’s virtually a virgin market. There’s virtually no competition and corporations are slowly waking up to the fact that they need to do more to protect their customers.”

Eckoh’s biggest hurdle is educating US companies about the importance of secure payments. “The US’s approach to credit card security is wholly different”, says Philpot. "It’s many years behind Europe so they are in catch up mode.“

In the first major TV debate over whether the UK should stay or leave the bloc, the Prime Minister said a vote to exit would be an economically ''self-inflicted wound''.

He also insisted he'd take Britain into the EU under the special terms it now enjoys if it wasn't already a member.

#Syria - Inside Story - Is there still a political way out of Syria's crisis? Al Jazeera English

Published on 2 Jun 2016
Is there still a political way out of Syria's crisis?

The United Nations describes the humanitarian situation in Syria as unrelentingly distressing, and dire.

The agency says more than 13 million people need some form of aid, but the fighting is making it difficult for assistance to reach civilians.

France and Britain are pushing for airdrops, but the UN says that should be a last resort, and not a susbstitute for land deliveries.

It estimates more than half a million people are living under siege, but some groups put that figure at more than one million.

The UN has accused both the government and rebels of preventing aid delivery.

And with so many actors involved, and different agendas, is there still a political way out of the Syria crisis??

Presenter: Folly Bah Thibault

Guests:

Mohamad Katoub - Advocacy Manager for the Syrian American Medical Society

Ziad Majed - Assistant Professor of International Politics at the American University of Paris

Michael Horowitz - Lead author of a report on the Russian intervention in Syria

#Venezuela - Cry For Food In Protests Near Presidential Palace: wochit News

Published on 2 Jun 2016
In Caracas, Venezuela groups of protesters chanting, "We want food!" gathered near the presidential palace, as security forces started firing rounds of tear gas. President Nicolas Maduro has been under intense pressure as the economic conditions worsen in his country of 30 million people. One woman told a reporter, "There's no more food in the shops and supermarkets. We're hungry and we're tired." Venezuelans are suffering from shortages of basic goods like milk and flour, despite being a country with the world's largest oil reserves. President Maduro blames the unrest on the fall in global oil prices. Government officials tried to reassure citizens that "things will improve in the next few weeks."
