| Ecuador airport moved to avoid fatal crashes Posted: 19 Feb 2013 12:55 AM PST | Pilots landing in Ecuador's capital must weave around hills and buildings - diving sharply to reach the runway. During its 53 years of operation, there have been more than a dozen fatal accidents here - with planes either crashing near the airport, or skidding off the runway. But these days are almost over, the airport in the heart of the capital is closing and a new airport 44km away from Quito begins operations on Wednesday.

| euronews interview - Lock, stock and one smoking Beppe Grillo Posted: 26 Feb 2013 11:48 AM PST | www.euronews.com On the 24th and 25th February, Italy held highly unusual elections. The vote showed that many Italians were disgusted with traditional politics and a big winner from that was Beppe Grillo, the comedian and founder of the anti-political Five Star Movement. Before the election euronews went along as he toured Sicily, an area where Silvio Berlusconi's coalition dominated politics until the last regional elections, when Grillo's party took 15 seats in the local parliament. In Caltanissetta, he told our correspondent Alberto de Filippis: "I am not a candidate. Parliament's not for me. These people, these thieves, who have robbed this country cannot even imagine that someone, even a comedian, might do something unless it was for the money." So - again before the election - we asked what would his movement do in parliament? He told us: "First we will eliminate electoral refunds. We will cut off the feed hose. We will not take the roughly 100 million euros that the system would give us as a party entering the parliament. The 15 MPs we have in the Sicilian parliament have voluntarily given up 70 percent of their own salaries. They have opened a regional account and with the money they finance microcredits - for farmers, fishermen and salesmen. It's survival credit. It's a credit for dignity." Paying for parliament and political parties and salaries costs Italy around one billion euros per year. Critics wonder if the politicians are giving the country its money's <b>...</b> | Views: 325 16 ratings | | Time: 07:50 | More in Shows |

| New York Times, Wall Street Journal say Chinese hackers broke into computers Posted: 02 Feb 2013 06:27 AM PST | New York Times, Wall Street Journal say Chinese hackers broke into computers wo major US newspapers have alleged that they have been targeted by Chinese hackers. The New York TImes and The Wall Street Journal have both reported that hackers from China hacked their websites in the midst of both papers doing extensive reporting on China. The Times claimed in its report that the hackers obtained passwords for its reporters, with both papers saying that such Chinese spying has become a "widespread phenomenon." Both papers quickly took steps to beef up security, but the question remains of how the hacks were carried out in the first place. The New York Times details how hackers broke into its system to observe its reporting on the relatives of Chinese prime minister Wen Jiabao. | Views: 133 3 ratings | | Time: 02:43 | More in News & Politics |

| Authors@ | Storytelling: Lessons from the Top with BBC's Gavin Esler Posted: 31 Jan 2013 07:02 AM PST | Filmed at Google London Introduction by Peter Barron Gavin Esler has been interviewing leading figures from politics, sports, industry and the arts for more than thirty years - from Bill Clinton and Alistair Campbell to Lady Gaga and Angelina Jolie. In this talk, he draws upon his experience at the BBC to examine how leaders in all fields -- from politics to media, from business to the arts -- all have to master a crucial skill: that of storytelling. About themselves, their origins, their beliefs -- and where they and their audience are headed. Based on insights from his book, 'Lessons from the Top: The 50 Most Successful Business Leaders in America - and What You Can Learn From Them": Great leaders have always understood the power of stories. Through the stories they tell, the most successful leaders educate, persuade and bring about change, but we rarely have the background knowledge to explore how they do so. In this hugely insightful guide to getting to the top, leading journalist Gavin Esler presents first-hand knowledge of the secrets of those who achieve power based on over thirty years' experience interviewing world famous figures from Bill Clinton to Angelina Jolie. Introducing the questions every leader must answer - and the elements that the best stories must contain - Esler explains how creating a leadership story can promote success at all levels, whether running for the United States presidency, or applying for a place at university. While many essentials of <b>...</b> | Views: 1992 51 ratings | | Time: 56:09 | More in Entertainment |
