Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. But in the last three years its economy has collapsed. Hunger has gripped the nation for years. Now, it’s killing people and animals that are dying of starvation. The Venezuelan government knows, but won’t admit it!!! Four in five Venezuelans live in poverty. People queue for hours to buy food. Much of the time they go without. People are also dying from a lack of medicines. Inflation is at 82,766% and there are warnings it could exceed one million per cent by the end of this year. Venezuelans are trying to get out. The UN says 2.3 million people have fled the country - 7% of the population.

Industry News: Israeli Sitcom ‘Traffic Light’ Makes American Debut

February 8, 2011

Airing TONIGHT on FOX at 930:

Israeli Sitcom ‘Traffic Light’ Makes American Debut

Israeli sitcom ‘Ramzor’ has been getting a ton of hype outside of Israel, even before it won last fall’s International Emmy for best comedy series. The show has been so well received that FOX has made an adapted version of ‘Ramzor,’ with the title ‘Traffic Light’ which premieres tonight at 9:30.

Ramzor’s win at the 38th annual International Emmy Award ceremony marked the first International Emmy for an Israeli program since “Kapo” took home the award for best documentary in 2000.

In an interview with Ynet after the ceremony at New York’s Hilton Hotel, the show’s creator Adir Miller said, “I just can’t believe it. I had a feeling. We had a panel there before the ceremony and saw the responses. It’s just amazing. We were sitting there and all the Hollywood big shots got on the stage. The award was presented to us by the chief writer of ‘Saturday Night Live’.”

‘Traffic Light’ will be a sitcom, like ‘Ramzor’ about three 30-something guys in very different stages in their relationships. Check out the trailer for the American version below, and make sure to set your DVR this evening when ‘Traffic Light makes its American debut on FOX.
