Our teachers gave us a piece of paper saying we should only be in groups and never go outside alone, especially at night time. Im scared that someone grabs me. Scott it all stems from this. New years eve and one of the worst nights of crime this city has seen in decades. We arrived at the Central Station and it was very full there. Scott how full . How busy was it . Very busy, you couldnt move. Scott a massive crowd had gathered near the central train station, there were fireworks, fights, and the police unable to keep control and then the sex assaults, hundreds of them and rapes. The overwhelming blame, laid upon the large immigrant population, mostly, north africans, in what some believe reflecting an arabic term, taharrush called by some, the rape game, when gangs of men circle a woman, then simultaneously assault her, keeping police at bay like what happened to cbs reporter lara l

Nick butler, the former head of strategy for bp, told me we are in for a longer and more sustained period of low oil prices than in the
