Oil Export Ban To End As Part of 2016 Spending Bill
Oil is bought and sold in a global marketplace, and it made no sense that Iran could export its oil but Texas producers could not. This ban should have been lifted in a more responsible way a long time ago, but president Obama prevented that.

A statement by China’s land ministry Sunday blamed the tragedy on the collapse of a 100-meter tall mountain of construction waste and dirt stored at a nearby waste dump, which was weakened by heavy rainstorms in the region.

This is China’s fourth major disaster in a year, beginning with a deadly stampede in Shanghai on New Year’s Eve, followed by a cruise ship capsize on the Yangtze River and massive explosions at a chemicals warehouse in Tianjin that killed more than 170 people.
The city had “pointed out problems at the site and requested steps to correct them”, the statement said.
