The bronze sculpture is also fondly called the Charging Bull of Wall Street. Created by Arturo Di Modica, it weighs 3.2 tonnes. Measuring 11 feet tall and 16 feet long, the bull is larger than life. It is a proud symbol of the US’s financial resilience, audacity and aggressive optimism. It achieved overnight stardom after the ‘guerilla artist’ Arturo dropped it off in December 1989 in front of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in violation of city permits! We walked past the bull and took a right turn. This was a narrow lane. But its name is Wall Street. To some, it conjures the power of capitalism and the magic of free enterprise.

French, Belgian, Chinese, Brazilian and African engineers have, over 60 years, all hoped to dam the Congo. But decades of civil war, corruption, and the Democratic Republic of Congo&apos;s (DRC) reputation as a failed state have limited the hydropower developments at Inga Falls to two relatively small dams, built in 1972 and 1982. These, dubbed Inga 1 and 2, have a theoretical capacity of 1,400MW but produce only about half that. A new $20bn development to generate a further 4,800MW was announced over the weekend in Paris with work planned to start in October 2015. According to the DRC government, working with European and other consultants, five further ...

It was a reference to the character in Quentin Tarantino&apos;s film Reservoir Dogs, who gets away with the diamonds, leaving his co-conspirators dying in a warehouse. The name has stuck and for good reason: billionaire Loeb has made a habit of getting away with the diamonds. One of Wall Street&apos;s most successful investors, he even managed to land a $500m (£326m) windfall from the Greek debt buyback deal . Famed for his acerbic attacks on corporate boards , he has branded spineless board members as country-club frequenting &quot;socialites&quot;; and people that inherit their shareholdings as members of &quot;The Lucky Sperm Club&quot;, while slamming chief executives as chief value destroyers, or CVDs.
