WASHINGTON – Haiti has received billions of dollars in taxpayer and private aid from the United States and others, yet is so poor that few homes had safe drinking water, sewage disposal or electricity even before the earthquake. With sympathetic donors around the world sending money, making sure that aid is spent properly will be a challenge.

Corruption, theft and other crime and Haiti's sheer shortage of fundamentals — reliable roads, telephone and power lines and a sound financial system — add to the difficulty as foreign governments and charities try not only to help Haiti recover from the disaster but pull itself out of abject poverty.

It is one of the poorest places on Earth. Most basic public services are lacking, people typically live on less than $2 a day, nearly half the population is illiterate and the government has a history of instability. The public has little opportunity to be sure that aid to the government is used honestly and well. Nor is following the money easy for donors, including the United States, 700 miles away and one of the country's biggest helpers.

"It has been a challenge and I think it really is one of the things we have to look at when the country has had such long-standing problems that it seems as though we have made little dent there," said Rep. Russ Carnahan, D-Mo., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee's subcommittee on international organizations, human rights and oversight.

The immediate focus is search and rescue and addressing immediate public health needs. But after that, "I think there's going to be a number of questions that arise," Carnahan said.

Just last month, a private group, the Heritage Foundation for Haiti, urged Haiti's government to complete an audit of a $197 million emergency disaster program to respond to corruption allegations over how the money was handled. Haiti's senate cited the allegations when it removed Prime Minister Michele Pierre-Louis in November and replaced her with Jean-Max Bellerive.

President Barack Obama promised at least $100 million in earthquake aid. That comes on top of substantial spending by the United States in Haiti in recent years for economic development, such as the country's textile industry, humanitarian assistance, environmental programs, and law enforcement, including trying to stop the use of Haiti as a pass-through point for narcotics en route to the United States.

Apart from earthquake relief, senators working on the next annual foreign assistance budget have proposed at least $282 million for Haiti; the House proposal would provide at least $165 million.

Much of the U.S. government's aid to Haiti comes through the U.S. Agency for International Development, which has provided at least $800 million from budget years 2004 through 2008, agency figures show.

At least $700 million more was pledged for Haiti by governments, international givers and charities at an April 2009 donors conference. Former President Bill Clinton, a United Nations special envoy to the country, told the U.N. Security Council in September that he was "100 percent committed to delivering tangible results to the U.N. and most importantly the people of Haiti."

The Haitian government relies on foreign aid to keep itself and its economy operating.

In a December 2008 Gallup survey, 60 percent of Haitians interviewed said there had been times that year when they didn't have enough money to buy food, and 51 percent said there were times they couldn't afford shelter.

Statistics about Haiti, as gathered by the U.S. government, chronicle a grim standard of living. According to the CIA and State Department, 1 in 8 children in Haiti dies before age 5. The life expectancy is 59 to 62 years. Malaria, typhoid and dengue fevers and other life-threatening illnesses long ago wiped out in the industrialized world still plague Haiti.

For government and private relief organizations, simply communicating and moving money and supplies around in the country were difficult absent a natural disaster like this one.

As of 2008, Haiti had 108,000 main telephone lines in use, putting it 142nd among countries in land-line phone use, but ranked better on cellular access. There were 3.2 million cellular phones in use in 2008, making it 105th worldwide by that measure, the U.S. government said.

"Attention on Haiti is often focused in times of disaster but not necessarily in the long-term," said Rich Thorsten, director of international programs for Water.org, a charity working to provide safe drinking water and sewage treatment to Haitians. "Funding that has been available does not necessarily go toward basic infrastructure like water and sanitation."

The Haitian government doesn't use its own resources for sanitation, and instead depends on charities, Thorsten said. In addition, international groups often do not coordinate, and there are also problems with security, corruption and political stability, he said.

"It is very important to keep track of the spending, and so when we work with partner organizations we make sure they have detailed accounting systems," he said. Supplies must be guarded, he added.

Are we safe in the Real World?

Every bank note in the UK is contaminated with cocaine within weeks of entering circulation, experts have revealed.

Police have stopped testing notes for traces of the drug in criminal investigations as the contamination is so widespread.

According to the Forensic Science Service the results are now meaningless as every note tests positive for cocaine.

The situation is a dramatic indicator of the spread of cocaine use.

A senior analyst at the FSS, the largest provider of forensic services in the UK on behalf of police forces, says traces of the drug can be found on any bank note regardless of its geographical location.

It takes just two weeks for a new note to pick up the drug, either because it is handled by someone who has used cocaine recently or it is contaminated by contact with other currency.

A scheme to relax immigration laws to allow tens of thousands of unskilled workers to enter the country to build Olympic sites is being drawn up for ministers.

Migrant workers may be needed to complete the stadiums for the 2012 Games and also to work on separate engineering projects, Government advisers believe.

But the prospect of a new wave of immigration for construction schemes - at a time when the recession has seen nearly 200,000 construction workers laid off in the past year - provoked furious protests last night.
Work in progress: London's Olympic stadium

Work in progress: Migrants may be needed to complete London's Olympic stadium (above) for the 2012 Games and also other engineering projects

Projects which may need to draw in migrant workers - both unskilled and skilled - from outside Europe include the Crossrail tunnel in London, the High Speed Two railway line to the north, and the decommissioning of old nuclear and coalfired power stations.

Migrants may also be needed to prepare for a possible football World Cup in England in 2018, a paper drawn up by Home Office advisers suggests.

The proposals come at a time of deep sensitivity over immigration in the run-up to the election.

There is particular concern around the East London Olympic sites, where anxiety over the impact of immigration on jobs and housing has allowed the far-Right BNP to make in-roads into the traditional Labour vote.

An invitation to foreign workers to take part in showpiece projects would mean the abandonment of Labour's 'points based' immigration system upon which ministers are relying to cut immigration.

The system has already closed the door to unskilled labour from outside the European Union.

Gordon Brown said before Christmas that the points based system was being tightened to help give British workers the first chance of jobs.

The Prime Minister also said there was no further need to allow skilled civil engineers into the country from abroad.

But the Migration Advisory Committee - whose chief, Professor David Metcalf, has been talking closely with the Prime Minister - has now thrown doubt over the system.

It has sent a survey to companies and research groups, asking: 'Would the needs of large projects be sensibly met through immigration?' Respondents will be invited to assess skill shortages for the Olympics and other future sports events - an apparent reference to the possibility of a football World Cup in England in 2018.

Specifically, they will be asked if unskilled labour from outside Europe would be needed and which kinds of skilled labour could be provided by migrants.

Researchers will have to advise ministers on whether it is 'sensible to allow immigration to address a relatively short-term labour shortage'.

The advisory committee has asked for reports before the end of March to allow meetings with 'key stakeholders'.

It is also looking for guidance on whether immigration from outside Europe is needed to deal with general labour shortages in Britain.

The Home Office said last night that the assessment of the need for new migration had not been requested by ministers but by the Migration Advisory Committee itself.

Ministers will be given 'policy options' rather than ' recommendations' as a result of the research, he said.

Latest unemployment figures show that 187,000 jobs have been lost in construction in the past year as unemployment hit nearly 2.5million.

There are 70,000 unemployed adults in the seven East London boroughs closest to the Olympic sites.

Sir Andrew Green, of MigrationWatch, said: 'Has anybody told the Government's advisers we have unemployment of 2.5million and a serious skills shortage which people need to be trained to fill?

'Permitting employers to recruit immigrant labour off the shelf can only reduce the prospects for British workers.'

The doctor who treated Michael Jackson before his death and injected drugs into the singer's body is expected to be charged with manslaughter.

Dr Conrad Murray could be prosecuted for 'gross negligence'  for his treatment of the  pop star during his last hours, police sources said.

An investigation into the circumstances of the death is to be presented before the Los Angeles authorities within weeks, and it is likely that it would result in Murray being held responsible for the death, the source said.

Negligent? Dr Conrad Murray could be charged with Michael Jackson's manslaughter for injecting an unnecessary drug that caused the singer's death

Earlier, a coroner had ruled that the singer's death at age 50 was a homicide caused mainly by the powerful anaesthetic propofol.

The coroner found the propofol was administered to Jackson without any medical need and that it should be given only in the right medical setting - a lot of the equipment that should have been there was missing.

The singer was found to be in relatively good health for a man his age and no illegal drugs were detected in his system.

Murray, a cardiologist, was with the star at his rented Los Angeles mansion in June and tried to revive him when he was found unconscious.

Miranda Sevcik, a spokeswoman in Houston for Murray and his lawyer, Edward Chernoff, said Friday the doctor had no comment and reiterated that Murray neither prescribed nor administered anything that should have killed Michael Jackson.

Jackson died while under Murray's care as the singer prepared for an ambitious concert schedule.

Tragic: A coronoer had ruled that the singer's death at age 50 was homicide caused mainly by the powerful anaesthetic propofol

The district attorney's office is waiting for Los Angeles police to turn over the case before presenting it to a grand jury, the law enforcement source said.

A spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, however, denied that any decisions have been made.

'We have been working closely with the Los Angeles police during the pendency of this investigation,' spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said.

'There is no case before us at present and no final decision has been made.'

To prove a charge of involuntary manslaughter, authorities must show there was a reckless action that created a risk of death or great bodily injury.

If a doctor is aware of the risk, there might also be an issue of whether the patient knows that risk and decided to take it.

A large number of witnesses have been interviewed by police, including those who were present during Jackson's last days and those who worked with him in preparation for his comeback concert, 'This Is It'.

Authorities have also lined up medical expert witnesses who will testify about the normal standard of care in a situation such as Jackson's and will give opinions on why Murray's actions constituted gross negligence, the source said.

The police investigation was substantially completed by the end of December, the source said.

Murray's professional history is expected to be explored during a trial with an emphasis on whether he had the required expertise in administering propofol.

The timing of an indictment will be dictated by two factors - how long it takes for the district attorney's office to conduct an internal review of the evidence and when the grand jury will be available to hear the case.

The person said it was thought that it would be more efficient to go to a grand jury than to charge Murray and proceed by way of a preliminary hearing.

A presentation to the grand jury where witnesses testify behind closed doors could take three to five days.

Murray has offices in Las Vegas and Houston. He was hired by Jackson not long before the pop star's death to travel with him on the tour that was to begin in London.
