Children Release 4K Endangered Turtle Species into the Wild



Published on Oct 2, 2012 by
Mexico's navy teams up with conservationists and local children to release some 4,000 endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles into the wild.

Four thousand baby turtles and six hundred school children came together at a beach in Mexico today in an effort to "Save the Turtles."

The mission of the day: to release these four thousand turtles into the ocean.

The sea turtle hatchlings are of the Olive Ridley species, which are on the endangered species list.

Its eggs are a prized delicacy in Mexico and are openly sold in food markets despite government laws banning their capture.

And that should change, says a student from a local primary school.

EU report: Deposits should be separated from risky banking



Published on Oct 2, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ Again, it is being recommended that high-risk investments and trading be separated from retail banking.

This time, the proposal comes from a new EU report looking at financial reforms and regulation. An advisory group led by Bank of Finland Governor Erkki Liikanen presented its findings to the EU Commission Brussels on Tuesday.

"Deposits and the explicit and implicit guarantee they carry would no longer directly support risky trading activities," Liikanen said.

He added: "The longstanding universal banking model in Europe would and could, however, remain untouched since the separated activities can be carried out in the same banking group."

The aim is to protect European savers and prevent further bailouts for the banks.

Specific charges for property loans are also being proposed, after crashes in Ireland and Spain caused financial troubles for lenders.

It is not the first time the idea of separating retail and speculative banking has been put forward.

Both the UK and the United States came to similar conclusions after each carried out their own investigations.

Following the findings of the Vickers Report in September 2011, Britain's biggest banks have until 2019 to ringfence their high street banking businesses from their investment banking arms.

Dodd--Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was passed in the US in July 2010. Amongst other reforms, it prevents banks from owning hedge funds for making their own profit because in the past this was done using depositors' money.

Portugal kicks debt can further down the road



Published on Oct 3, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ Portugal has bought itself a bit of breathing space by carrying out a swap of some of its government bonds.

They were due to be paid back next year, which would have been difficult for Lisbon to do.

Instead, on Wednesday, it exchanged the bonds for ones which will mature in 2015.

That gives more time for Lisbon to make the cuts necessary to reduce its debt and hopefully get the economy growing again.

Trader Pedro Oliveira with Carregosa Bank believes it was a first step towards the country returning to financing normality: "The fact that more than a third of the investors holding these bonds took part in the swap shows they are content to assume the risk of holding Portuguese debt for two more years. That is seen as a positive for Portugal's return to the market."

Portugal has been not been able to borrow on the bond markets to service its government debt since it had to ask the European Union and the International Monetary Fund for a 78 billion euro bailout in April last year.

Portuguese banks, insurers and pension funds are the main holders of the country's debt, with international investors still shying away.
