- Australian flights resume as ash cloud drifts to New Zealand
Air travel returning to normal after plume from Chile's Cordón Caulle volcano moves south-eastAirlines have been resuming flights out of some of Australia's largest airports on Wednesday but cancelling service to New Zealand and Tasmania as winds shift the volcanic ash from Chile that has crippled air travel in the region for several days this month.Many flights across southern Australia were suspended for up to two days because of the plume, stranding thousands of passengers before winds pushed the cloud south-east. Volcanic ash can damage jet engines.Qantas, the Australian flagship carrier, and its rival, Virgin Australia, have resumed early morning flights from the southern city of Adelaide.Qantas and its budget subsidiary, Jetstar, have told customers flights through Melbourne and Canberra will resume by late morning. Virgin plans to return to the air by noon. In Sydney and neighbouring Newcastle, Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin said they would resume services by Wednesday afternoon.Ash from Chile's Cordón Caulle volcano grounded hundreds of flights and stranded tens of thousands of passengers last week when it hovered over several Australian cities and New Zealand.Greyhound is running extra bus services in Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane to move a backlog of stranded passengers, while trains between Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne have added rail cars.The Civil Aviation Safety Authority spokesman, Peter Gibson, said it was possible all flight schedules would return to normal by Thursday.Chile announced on Sunday that the Cordón Caulle volcano, which began erupting 4 June, was becoming less active.AustraliaAir transportNew ZealandChileguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | Mo チリのコルドンCaulleの火山からプルーム後に正常に戻って空の旅は、南eastAirlinesは水曜日にオーストラリア最大の空港の一部の便を再開するが風が空の旅を不具にしたチリから火山灰をシフトとしてニュージーランドやタスマニア州へのサービスをキャンセルされている移動数日間のための領域では南部オーストラリアでこのmonth.Manyの便は、風が雲南東をプッシュする前に乗客の何千もの座礁、理由プルームの二日間にするため、最大懸濁した

- Letters: Weak torture inquiry
Your report on the alleged abusive interrogation of the Kenyan national Omar Awadh Omar in Uganda last year by British and US officials (Terror suspect claims abuse by British interrogator, 18 August), is a further reminder of why we need a robust public inquiry into UK involvement in torture and other abuses of detainees overseas.It is all the more regrettable, then, that the inquiry under Sir Peter Gibson is set to be an underpowered, secretive affair that is highly unlikely to inform the public about a series of deeply troubling cases – from Pakistan and Afghanistan to Gambia and Guantánamo.How is an inquiry that requires governmental approval of information disclosure, has no intention of seeking evidence from overseas, and lacks powers to compel witnesses to attend, ever likely to get to the bottom of this murky affair?We need a revamped inquiry that is truly capable of restoring public confidence in our security services.Kate Allen Director, Amnesty International UKTortureHuman rightsKenyaUnited Statesguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- From the archive, 18 May 1943: R.A.F. breach giant German dams
Originally published in the Manchester Guardian on 18 May 1943Heavy blows of a new kind were delivered against Germany's war industry early yesterday, when a force of Lancaster bombers breached the enemy's three greatest dams at the _öhne, Eder, and Sorte reservoirs, which together control more than two-thirds of the water storage capacity of the Ruhr.Aerial reconnaissance shows that the _öhne Dam has been breached over a length of 100 yards, that water is pouring down the Ruhr valley, that railway and road bridges have broken down, and that hydro-electrical power stations have been destroyed or damaged. The Eder, which controls the head waters of the Weser and Fulda valleys and operates several power stations, is also breached. Photographs show the river below in full flood. Floods are also rising in the Dortmund area, 30 miles away.Picked Lancaster crews had been chosen for the operation and had been training for it for many weeks. They worked in complete secrecy on a bomber station which, as far as possible, was cut off from contact with the outside world. Only about half a dozen other men in the whole of Bomber Command knew what they were doing.In the early hours of yesterday, when the weather and light were exactly right, they carried out the operation. Its purpose was to subject the whole Ruhr Valley to almost as severe an ordeal as it has undergone by fire in the last three months, and to do the same for another industrial area farther east.These picked men, under the command of Wing Commander G.P. Gibson, D.S.O., and bar, D.F.C. and bar, went out to attack the three huge water barrage dams – two of them on the Rivers _öhne and Sorte, tributaries of the River Ruhr, and the other on the River Eder.The Lancaster crews knew how much depended on their success or fail もともと一緒に制御ランカスター爆撃機の力は、_öhne、エデル、およびSorte貯水池で敵の三大ダムを破った昨日、初期のドイツの軍需産業に対して配信された新しい種類の5月18日1943Heavyの吹く日にマンチェスターガーディアン紙に掲載さ詳細Ruhr.Aerial偵察の貯水容量の3分の2以上_öhneダムは水ルールの谷に押し寄せている100ヤードの長さは、上の違反されていることは、その鉄道と道路の橋が分解しており、ことを示しています水力電気発電所が破壊されているか破損しています
- Letters: Gibson must look at latest torture claims
No one doubts that we live in insecure times with poverty, inequality and lack of opportunities leading to extreme identities and actions. But societies purporting to uphold justice, rule of law, human rights, democracy and good governance undermine all those principles if they descend into the kind of behaviour you report (UK linked to Bangladesh torture, 18 January).There is also another side to this story. If the allegations are upheld, human rights and democracy – important parts of the UK's aid agenda – lose credibility, efficacy and value for money. Despite progress over recent decades, Bangladesh's problems of poverty, climate change and domestic governance are immense. The behaviour of the UK, if proven, does the poor in Bangladesh no favours, and weakens the diaspora's trust in the fairness of government here. We urge Sir Peter Gibson to investigate these allegations in his forthcoming inquiry.Geof Wood Emeritus professor of international development, University of BathDavid Lewis Professor of social policy and development, London School of Economics & Political ScienceJoseph Devine Lecturer in international development, University of Bath • Why did Jacqui Smith not suspect that her requests to the Bangladeshi authorities would lead them to torture the persons concerned (Letters, 19 January)?

The Olympics coming to London was supposed to transform Britain into a sporting powerhouse, with targets set that would get millions of us involved in sport. Despite £480m having been spent, though, we're some way off these targets.Hugh Muir explores whether it is possible to work with the best athletes to ensure a good haul of gold medals in 2012 while simultaneously increasing sports participation for the general public.He visits the fencing club Newham Swords to see how the extra funding has helped Olympic hopefuls develop, and drops in on Harringay Police Community Boxing Club, which has not seen a penny of the Olympic funds and is in dire need of investment. The Mayor of Newham, Robin Wales, explains how the government's cuts to council funding are hampering the host borough's sporting progress.Hugh is then joined in the studio by the Guardian's Owen Gibson, Chief Executive of Sport England Jennie Price and the London Mayor's Sports Commissioner Kate Hoey to debate the key issues and look at what needs to be done.Hugh MuirOwen GibsonKate HoeyPeter Sale

- Pitching nightmare spells doom for the Texas Rangers | Richard Adams
The Texas Rangers have ruined their World Series hopes against the San Francisco Giants after a disaster in game twoIt was pitching that won the second game of the World Series for the San Francisco Giants – but not their own. Instead it was an hilariously inept performance by the Texas Rangers bullpen in the eighth inning, almost unbelievably bad at this level, that cost the Rangers the game and, more importantly, their dignity.The Rangers' psyche may have been fragile enough after Cliff Lee – hailed as the lovechild of Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson (an interesting ethnic mix) by the US media – was beaten up in game one. But game two's eighth inning was a nightmare that the Rangers may never recover from.Leading 2-0, the Giants had two out and no-one on when Buster Posey reached out to poke a flare over second base for a single. Ron Washington promptly brought on Derek Holland – so deadly against the Yankees in the ACLS – only to see him throw 11 balls in a row.Bizarrely, the Rangers' managers failed to warm up another pitcher until far too late, as Holland loaded the bases and walked home a run in 13 pitches. At last Holland was yanked and Mark Lowe took the mound, only to walk Juan Uribe for another run and give up a hit to Edgar Renteria for two more.Lowe then departed and Michael Kirkman came in, hanging a pitch over the plate that Aaron Rowand smacked for a triple, bringing in two more runs. Then Andres Torres batted Rowand in with a double.At this point Nolan Ryan could have brought himself on for all the difference it would have made. As it was the Rangers in desperation had Tommy Hunter, down to be the game four starter, throwing in the bullpen when Kirkman finally got the third out of the inning – 30 minutes, 28 balls, four walks, four hits and seven runs after ではなく、独自の - テキサスレンジャーズは、ワールドシリーズでは、サンフランシスコジャイアンツとのワールドシリーズの第二試合に勝ったことが投球されたゲームtwoItにおける災害後のサンフランシスコジャイアンツ戦期待している台無しになっている

- Letters: The requirements of a decent society
Since 1948, Britain has supported the principle of social solidarity through state pensions, healthcare, education and other public services provided by society as whole. This idea is now under threat.Whoever wins the next general election will be targeting the welfare state and public services as a way of cutting public expenditure to pay for the mistakes of the bankers and speculators. Never was so much put at risk by so few.What they seem to forget is that good public services are important to everyone at every stage of their life from the cradle to grave. That is why we are supporting the demonstration in London on 10 April to remind all politicians that a civilised, compassionate society needs a welfare state and decent public services that pool life's risks and provide support to all who need it, irrespective of their individual ability to pay.Brendan Barber TUC, Lee Billingham Love Music Hate Racism, Christine Blower NUT, Brian Caton POA, Bob Crow RMT, Jeremy Dear NUJ, Gerry Doherty TSSA, Peter Fisher NHS Consultants' Association, Dot Gibson National Pensioners Convention, Sally Hunt UCU, Tony Kearns CWU, Chris Keates NASUWT, Paul Kenny GMB, Prof Harry Keen NHS Support Federation, Jonathan Ledger Napo, Hamish Meldrum BMA, Lesley Mercer Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, Gerry Morrissey Bectu Keith Norman Aslef, Peter Pendle ACM/AMiE, Dave Prentis Unison, Alan Ritchie Ucatt, Wendy Savage Keep Our NHS Public, Mark Serwotka PCS, Eileen Short Defend Council Housing, Derek Simpson Unite, Vanessa Stanislas Disability Alliance, Christine Steel Carers Poverty Alliance, Gordon Taylor PFA, Tony Woodley Unite, Matt Wrack FBUPublic services policyTax and spendingPublic financeGeneral election 2010LabourConservativesProtestFinancial crisisguardian.co.uk © Guardi 1948年以来、英国は国家年金、医療、教育など公共サービス、社会全体で提供される社会的連帯の原則をサポートしています
- Potters Bar crash caused by unsafe points, says jury
Inquest verdict says maintenance and inspection failures led to accident in which seven people died in 2002Unsafe points caused the Potters Bar rail crash in which seven people died eight years ago, an inquest jury said today.More than 70 people were injured when the 12.45 King's Cross to King's Lynn train came off the rails as it approached the station, where it was not due to stop, at around 1pm on 10 May 2002.There had been inspection and/or maintenance failures in the period before the crash, the jury concluded, after a seven-week hearing in Letchworth, Hertfordshire.Six passengers who died were in the fourth carriage of the train, which became detached and airborne while the seventh victim, who had been walking nearby, was hit by debris.The train was travelling at a legal speed – 98mph – and the driver, Gordon Gibson, was cleared of any blame.The inquest was investigating the deaths of passengers Austen Kark, Emma Knights, Jonael Schickler, Alexander Ogunwusi, Chia Hsin Lin and Chia Chin Wu, and the pedestrian, Agnes Quinlivan.More details soon ...Potters Bar train crashRail transportTransportJames Meikleguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
