- Street politics: Playing with fire | Editorial
A sensible society needs to reflect on the violence that occurred in central London as well as condemning itIt is important neither to exaggerate the violence that occurred in central London on Thursday nor to trivialise it. Crowd violence is a relatively rare but nonetheless a recurrent aspect of British life. It should neither be foolishly romanticised nor overly demonised. Violence against people and property is wrong and against the law. Those who commit public violence must be answerable, just as those who commit private violence are. But that does not mean the street violence should be dismissed as merely wicked and denied any wider meaning or significance. There are lessons to be learned from the fighting and damage around parliament this week too — many of them immediate, others relevant to the coming years and some maybe applying over future decades. A sensible society needs to reflect on such events as well as condemning them.The attack on Prince Charles's limousine has inevitably grabbed the headlines and drawn the greatest condemnation. The attack was the responsibility of those who mounted it. Fortunately no one was hurt. But it was clearly a mistake for the prince to be driven along the chosen route in such a grand vehicle at such a time. The prince was poorly advised, including by the police. Given that he is who he is, there is a clear public responsibility to protect him better. That does not mean he needs more armed guards. It simply means he needs security advisers who keep up with the news better than they did this week and who respond accordingly.The most urgent thing is for parliament to consider the public order and policing lessons. All people, property and buildings must be protected. Parliament needs particular consideration because of its fund 賢明な社会もモータウンオハコを非難し、どちらも木曜日にロンドン中心部で発生したことを矮小化して暴力を誇張することが重要であるとして、ロンドン中心部で発生した暴力に反映する必要があります

- Wisconsin news you can really use | Michael Tomasky
From the clever folks at Swing State Project, here is a chart showing some of the kind of extremely useful hard information out of Wisconsin I've been looking for.The chart shows the results of the 2008 presidential election broken down by the state's 33 state senate districts. There are 19 Republicans in the body. Fully 14 of them represent districts where Barack Obama beat John McCain. Six of them represent districts where Obama won by at least 8% - that is to say, a reasonably big margin.What does this tell us? Nothing scientific. But it does suggest that they represent districts where there's either a fairly strong Democratic vote, or failing that, where lots of independents lean Democratic (independents usually lean one way or the other, in truth). And this tells us in turn that if the right kind of pressure is applied in the district, these six at least ought to be feeling some heavy pressure. There of course will be local variables that will affect how much pressure -for example, maybe the Democrats just don't have plausible candidates in this or that district, so the GOP incumbent has reason to feel safe despite the presidential number. But in general, presidential performance is a pretty good guide to a district's demography and voting patterns. Dale Schultz of the 17th district (carried by Obama 61-38%) said at a community forum last night that he wouldn't declare his position. FireDogLake reported that he told a Democratic colleague he was a no.Eyes turn next to Dan Kapanke, whose district Obama carried by the same margin. He said on Feb. 27 he was for the bill. Michael Ellis represents a district Obama carried by 10 points, but seeing as how he's the state senate leader, one doubts he's going to buck his governor.The Democrats need three defections.

- The Business podcast: Economies in crisis
This week, we examine the economic problems on both sides of the Atlantic. New economic realities are becoming increasingly apparent to voters, and growth strategies are thin on the ground.On the panel: the Guardian columnist Julian Glover, our economics editor Larry Elliott and the IPPR thinktank's director Nick Pearce.The Office for National Statistics released this quarter's growth figure of 0.2% and explained it by pointing to an extra bank holiday enjoyed by Britons for the royal wedding. This was one of several faintly desperate-sounding excuses. Meanwhile, after a deal to prop up Greece's economy was announced in Brussels, Aditya Chakrabortty, in Athens, tells us this is by no means a permanent solution. And in Washington, a highly partisan debate over raising the country's borrowing limit is threatening to topple the economy into a technical default. Richard Adams, in Washington, explains what is behind the deadlock and tells us that while Barack Obama's personal ratings are taking a hit, the Republican party is also taking substantial public blame for the fiasco. Leave your thoughts below.

- Christmas dangers for dogs
Piercing pine needles, broken baubles, poisonous chocolate – the festive season can be perilous for FidoI haven't read a survey I liked more since the one that said one in four British vets have treated a drunk dog. So anyway, how about this: 79% of dog owners get fake Christmas trees to avoid injury to their dogs. My mind filled with intoxicating images of labradors trying to do a wee against a real tree, knocking it over, breaking the window and being pelted with broken glass and maybe snow. In fact, the main problem is that they get pine needles stuck in their paws. So it's not dramatic, but it's not very nice, and you still have to go to the vet.The website that conducted the survey – dogsblog.com, which is very useful if you want to rehome a dog, or look at cute pictures of dogs – helpfully compiled the top-five festive dangers to dogs. In with a bullet at number one is chocolate, for the possible theobromine poisoning. Number two is antifreeze – I was just about to be more precise, but you don't need to know what's in it, all you need to know is that it's blue and you shouldn't drink it. Then pine needles, glass decorations and crowded kitchens.To this expert advice, I will add the top-five festive dog-dangers that I have observed: broken glass in gutters, dropped by drunken idiots probably wearing flashing deely boppers and thinking that's funny; drunken idiots in your own house, dropping things on your dog; dogs eating tinsel or silver foil, then having to expel them later (I'm not sure that this is dangerous, but it looks uncomfortable); dogs being dressed as Santa (it's humiliating; and also, unrealistic, because a reindeer would never obey a dog); and finally, dogs straightforwardly overeating.Poor mutts, they think Bonfire Night is bad, but yule is far more 松葉、壊れたつまらない、悪意に満ちたチョコレートを利用しています - お祭りシーズンは、私は、1つの4つの英国の獣医が酔って犬を扱っているもう一つから好きな調査を読んでいないFidoIに危険なことができます
- Oxfam tells the UN we need action to feed the hungry, not words
A lengthy document is in circulation, drafted for world leaders to sign at the UN's Millennium Development Goals summit in New York. But Oxfam is calling on participants to deliver more than fine words to help the poorJust over a week to go to the big showpiece summit at the United Nations in New York. Government leaders, officials, industry bosses and many, many NGOs will convene to assess progress towards reaching the eight Millennium Development Goals agreed by the G8 in 2000. The endpoint is 2015 - just five years to go.And the tension is rising. So many people want this meeting to be significant. There has been real progress on some of the MDGs, but there is so far to go, and economic recession is going to make the donors think twice before getting into deeper financial commitments.But the prospect of a meaninglessly worthy three days provoked an outburst from Oxfam today. In the way of major governmental meetings, officials have been working on the document that the leaders will all sign for some considerable time. It is now 26 pages long and detailed and thoughtful. Who could argue with this, for instance?We recognize that progress, including on poverty eradication, is being made despite setbacks, including due to the financial and economic crises. In this context, we recognize the deeply inspiring examples of progress made by countries in all regions of the world through cooperation, partnerships, actions and solidarity. We are deeply concerned, however, that the number of people living in extreme poverty and hunger surpasses one billion and that inequalities between and within countries remains a significant challenge. We are also deeply concerned about the alarming global levels of maternal and child mortality. We believe that eradication of poverty and hunger 長いドキュメントでは、循環では、世界の指導者のためにニューヨークの国連のミレニアム開発目。首脳会談で署名する起草されます
- Securing democracy in Africa is key | David Chidgey
Economic growth in the Great Lakes region must be underpinned by free elections if future instability is to be avoidedHalf a century or so after the countries of Africa's Great Lakes region gained their independence, many observers agree that amid their achievements there have been some considerable missed opportunities.As vice-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on the Great Lakes Region, I have watched and supported the development of the East African Community (EAC), a free-trade zone of 130 million people from five countries: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. This community will soon provide a single visa regime and is working towards a single currency, the East African shilling.This regional integration presents a momentous opportunity to power East Africa into a position where it can be the driver of its own economic future, rather than sitting in the back seat. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) remains outside the EAC, but is still the largest single Great Lakes nation. Its people and resources have suffered years of rape and plunder.Kenya, long considered the most stable of East African countries, came perilously close to breakdown in 2007, with many lives lost in street violence following the tightest of presidential elections and in defence of what many believed was the subjugation of their democratic rights.In Burundi, the presidential election last month took place with only one candidate, the incumbent president, after 13 registered opposition candidates put aside their differences to boycott the contest in the wake of highly irregular local elections which were heavily criticised by EU monitors.Unfortunately, grenade attacks prevented me, and other political observers from across the EU, visiting Burundi to lend support to a hoped-fo 将来の不安定性がavoidedHalf世紀ほど後に、アフリカの五大湖地域の国が独立する場合は五大湖地域の経済成長は自由選挙によって支えられる必要があります、多くのオブザーバーはその成果の中で、いくつかのかなりの機会を逃してきた同意すべてのサードパーティ議会グループ五大湖地域でのように副議長、私は見ていると東アフリカ共同体（EAC）、5カ国：ブルンジ、ケニアから130万人の自由貿易ゾーンの開発をサポート、ルワンダ、タンザニア、ウガンダ
