Despite the negative reading from the trade report though, exports did improve over the month as demand from China and Russia filled in for the slump in US orders. This is a promising dynamic, but can it last? Outside the confines of the economic docket, there was a tangible interest in risk developing behind the yen’s ebb and flow. For most of the week, the market was fleeing from its risky positions. The cost of credit default swaps (used to protect investors from corporate bond risk) continually won record highs through the week. This fear was fed by reports that major bond insurers were attempting to split off their subprime units (and opening $580 billion in assets open to downgrades), news that the UK government would nationalize troubled lender Northern Rock (and thereby admitting the problem was severe) and deepening fears of a US recession.

Alexander tycoon up for honour

The real question now is how the Electoral Commission and the police handle this matter. If you are an election agent at whatever level you have to be most careful to get everything right, and you have to be very aware of the fact that you are held responsible for any act by any person which can be pinned on the party you represent by your opposition. The authorities are very strict about the upholding of electoral law.

The question is, to what extent will that apply to the high heid yins o' the labour party. I consider it of the greatest importance that the letter of the law is adhered to in this case. There have been too many instances in the south over the last few years where the outcome of various "inquiries" have been, to say the least, somewhat lacking in credibility. To have that sort of thing happen in this case would do neither the credibility of the authorities and the Scottish legal process, nor the political environment as a whole, the leasts good.

Apprentice Africa goes on air tomorrow

Since its premiere in 2004, the show has received very rave reviews and comments, and has spawned many licensed international versions as well as several imitations.

In Apprentice Africa, 18 contestants instead of the original version of 16 are in the race for the top prize. The contestants have a more diversified nationality than the original The Apprentice as they are selected from different African countries as well as Africans in the Diaspora. It is also a mixture of experienced contestants and fresh graduates from the university.

Also the prize money is $200,000 compared to the $250,000 yearly salary offered by Trump's version of the Apprentice.

Determined to produce a world-class programme, the producers of The Apprentice Africa, Storm Productions and The Executive Group (TEG), seek to create a highly rated business reality show across the African continent and the Diaspora that has unequalled educational, leadership, management, entertainment and market value.
