In June this year, the BRICs, the world's newest economic
grouping, ended their fi rst major summit by calling for a
stable, predictable and more diversifi ed international
monetary system. But the leaders of Brazil, Russia, India
and China, stopped short of criticising the world's dominant
currency, the US dollar. The group repeated calls for a
bigger say in the global fi nancial system through greater
representation at major institutions, such as the World
Bank.
But the fi nal statement issued by the leaders made no
reference to developing new reserve currencies to challenge
the dollar, which Russia had called for at a separate event
earlier in the day.
Analysts say that as the global recession bites, the four Bric
nations are showing a growing willingness to work together.
One expert claimed the signifi cance of the summit would
be political rather than economic

Obama gets first taste of Oval Office
By Andrew Ward in Washington
Published: November 10 2008 18:29 | Last updated:
November 10 2008 18:29
(1) Barack Obama stepped inside the Oval Office for the first
time on Monday during a visit to the White House for talks
with George W. Bush, outgoing president. It has long been a
tradition for the president to invite his successor to the White
House before leaving office, but this year’s meeting promised
to be more substantive than usual given the urgent economic
challenges awaiting the new administration.
(2) Dana Perino, White House press secretary, refused to be
drawn on the agenda, but it was widely assumed the financial
crisis and broader economic malaise would be a central focus.
(3) The topics One likely issue for discussion are likely to include
the terms for a proposed second economic stimulus package that
Mr Obama has urged Congress to pass before he takes office.
(4) Mr Bush has signalled his willingness to consider
another stimulus – on top of the $150bn (•118bn, £96bn) of
tax relief earlier this year – to shore up the economy.
(5) But Bush officials say the president wants the
Democratic-controlled Congress to drop its opposition to
the proposed US free trade deal with Colombia in return for
him approving further stimulus measures.
Rahm Emanuel, appointed last week as Mr Obama’s chief of
staff, indicated on Sunday that his new boss would resist
any attempt by Mr Bush to force through the Colombia deal.
(6) In another potential flashpoint between the president and
president-elect, Mr Emanuel also voiced support for
Democratic efforts to extend government support to the ailing
US car industry in spite of resistance from the White House.
(7) Despite the potential for conflict, both Mr Bush and Mr Obama
have stressed their willingness to work together in a bipartisan
fashion during the transition phase since the latter beat John
McCain, the Republican candidate, in last week’s election.
(8) Looking ahead to yesterday’s meeting, Mr Obama said:
“I’m going to go in there with a spirit of bipartisanship, and
a sense that both the president and various leaders of
Congress all recognise the severity of the situation right
now and want to get stuff done.”
(9) Mr Obama harshly attacked Mr Bush and his “failed”
policies throughout the campaign, but the president has
shown no signs of taking the criticism to heart.
(10) In his statement after the election, Mr Bush lauded Mr
Obama’s win as “a triumph of the American story, a testament
to hard work, optimism and faith in the enduring promise of
our nation”.
(11) Mr Obama has visited the White House in the past, but
on Monday marked his first time inside the oval-shaped
office that he will inherit in just over two months.
(12) The two men were expected to meet alone, allowing a candid
discussion about the demands of the job and the pressing issues
Mr Obama will face when he takes office on January 20.
(13) The meeting came as aides to Mr Obama made clear the
president-elect was planning to move swiftly to revoke a
series of Bush administration policies once in office.
(14) “There’s a lot that the president can do using his executive
authority without waiting for congressional action,” said John
Podesta, co-chair of the Obama transition team. “I think he
feels like he has a real mandate for change. We need to get off
the course that the Bush administration has set.”

The uses for oil
Oil is the largest source of liquid fuel and, in spite of attempts to develop synthetic fuels, world consumption of oil
products in increasing.
The oil industry is not much more than a hundred years old. It began when the first oil well was drilled in 1859. In the
early days, oil was used to light houses because there was no electricity and gas was very scarce. Later, people began to use oil
for heating too.
Most industries use machinery to make things. Every machine needs oil in order to run easily. Even a small clock or watch
needs a little oil from time to time.
The engines of many machines use oil fuels petrol, kerosene or diesel. Cars, buses, trucks, tractors, and small aircraft use
petroleum chemicals: synthetic rubber, plastics, synthetic fiber materials for clothes and for the home, paints, materials which
help to stop rust, photographic materials, soap and cleaning materials (detergents), drugs, fertilizers for farms and gardens, food
containers, and may others.
In 1900 the world’s oil production was less than 2 million tons a year. Today the oil industry is one of the world’s largest
and most important suppliers of raw materials.
