| Bush Bloopers in Australia - OPEC or APEC? |
 |
President George W. Bush makes light of his
bloopers during an APEC address.
U.S President George W. Bush, renowned for
his mispronunciation of words during his
speeches, once again made audiences laugh
during his address to the business summit of
the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC)
forum in Australia.
Within the first seconds of his speech, Bush
referred to the gathering as the OPEC summit,
the acronym for the Organisation of the
Petroleum Exporting Countries and then
quickly rectified it to APEC, causing the
gathering to erupt into laughter.
He later referred to Australia as Austria,
but failed to pick up on it or rephrase the
comment.
Throughout the rest of his speech he
mispronounced several words, including
Australia's capital Canberra, Kuala Lumpur
and Jemaah Islamiyah.
And as if things weren't bad enough, when he
had concluded his addresses, he made his way
to the wrong exit, prompting Australian Prime
Minister John Howard to make finger gestures
at him, to show him the right way off the
stage.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday
that devaluation of American dollar has left
negative impacts on OPEC and global economy.
President Ahmadinejad made the remarks in the
third annual summit of Organization of
Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in Saudi
Arabian capital of Riyadh on Sunday. Due to
devaluation of American dollar in
international and oil transactions, it is
necessary to replace American dollar with
another major hard currency. The Iranian
president called for drawing up of a
comprehensive plan for OPEC and establishment
of an specialized bank called "OPEC Bank" to
safeguard the hard currencies of OPEC member
states.

| EuroNews - Interview - EuroNews speaks to OPEC president |

Despite calls to pump more oil, OPEC is
expected to decide to hold output levels as
they are when it meets on Friday. OPEC's
members account for some 40 per cent of the
world's oil. The majority of them favour
maintaining the status quo as prices are
falling over fears of a recession in the
United States. EuroNews' Business Editor
Annibale Fracasso spoke exclusively to the
new president of the cartel, Chakib Khelil,
ahead of OPEC's crunch meeting in Vienna.
