- Before my facial I had to have a letter from the NHS
After I told them I was having cancer treatment they demanded a note from my doctorThe banking crisis certainly offered a large-scale example of how profit accrues to the private sector and risk to the public sector. But it's the myriad trivial ways in which this happens every day that really makes one despair. After nine gruelling weeks of chemotherapy, I decided to cash in my mother's day gift of a facial, at a posh London spa.I thought it only decent to mention my cancer treatment, only to be told that I needed a letter from a doctor in order to receive said pampering. After conversations with no fewer than five NHS staff, all of whom I'd guess wildly had other things to do, a brief missive will be written by one kind professional, and posted to me, thus passing on to the NHS responsibility for some vanishing possibility of infection and, therefore, administration of a few antibiotics.The spa, of course, has its money already.Breast cancerCancerDeborah Orrguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- The story of Katine: the conclusion
Amref will stay in Katine for a further year to consolidate its work with continued funding from Guardian readers and Barclays, writes Madeleine BuntingThe Guardian's media coverage of the Katine project has now finished, but Amref decided that it wanted to stay in Katine for a further year to consolidate its work with continued funding from Guardian readers and Barclays.In particular, it wanted extra time to strengthen the community structures on which the long-term sustainability of the project depends.New boreholes will be constructed, with the aim of 85% of the community having access to clean water by the end of the fourth year, and Amref also wants to increase household latrine coverage from 39% to 75%.The offices built by Amref, and the small house built by the Guardian for its journalists, will be given to Katine as community resources. Several options are being considered about how to make the best use of these two buildings.The Guardian is planning to return to Katine intermittently over the next few years to report on how the community fares following Amref's withdrawal. Those articles will appear on the Guardian's new global development website.Amref and the Guardian are still working on plans for a form of legacy fund in Katine, with the aim of providing the community with a small amount of ongoing support.Project goalsAid and developmentKatine amrefUgandaMadeleine Buntingguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- In praise of... Sunderland Point
Choosing what to protect of Britain's vulnerable coastline is a difficult balancing actChoosing what to protect and what to try to save from the stormy waters around the British coast is an invidious task. Sunderland Point (that's Sunderland, Lancashire, not Sunderland, Tyne and Wear) is typical of the conflict of interests. Mycoastline, the umbrella body for local authorities and others interested in flood defences, has decided that a bit of flooding can only be good for this botanically rich stretch of saltmarsh while admitting it will be less than perfect for the people who live in the small but historic settlement which is all that remains of what used to be Lancaster's port. This is the kind of balance that has to be struck all around Britain's vulnerable coastline as it is redrawn by the forces of the sea. What makes the decision on Sunderland Point contentious – apart from the fine 18th-century buildings that survive from its economic heyday – is a simple grave on unconsecrated ground that dates from the height of the slave trade. Under a later, 19th-century, brass plate lie the remains of a young boy, Sambo, from west Africa who died alone, distraught and uncomprehending, after his owner, the ship's captain, left him for a few days. His tragic story was the subject of a poem written by a local clergyman 60 years later, which in turn became an important influence on public opinion as the anti-slavery campaign gathered momentum. Now it has become an unofficial memorial, kept decorated with flowers and painted pebbles by frequent visitors, a small but unique apology for a great crime.SlaveryFloodingguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- My Life With the Taliban by Abdul Salam Zaeef - review
Crying Pakistani spies, a US advisor's endorsement, but suspiciously little about Osama bin Laden in the memoirs of one of the Taliban's founding membersThe Afghan peace train is standing at the platform, and all the major perpetrators of the war are jostling for seats, just in case it goes anywhere. Some are trying to reserve space just to stop others boarding. Some are trying to ensure the train never leaves the station.A lot of the passengers - the foreigners at least - will all carrying the same book on the journey. It is called My Life With the Taliban, by the movement's former ambassador to Islamabad, Abdul Salam Zaeef, now back in Afghanistan after four years in Guantanamo.Zaeef's story is the tale of an Afghan everyman, a boy from achingly poor beginning who remains viscerally attached to the dusty Kandahar soil from whence he came. By Zaeef's account, the relentless conflict that has taken up the majority of his 42 years has been about land and belonging more than religion and ideology.As an Afghan you are always more than one thing: your kin, your tribe, your ethnicity and the place you were born; all are part of you.This helps explain what a bloody struggle this has been, but it also offers hope of a way out. For those in Washington and London who have argued for years that the Taliban and al-Qaida are distinct entities with very different profiles and identities, this book helps make their point.In fact, one of the more telling passages from the book is the foreword, written by Barnett Rubin, a New York University academic who also happens to be the top advisor to Richard Holbrooke, the US special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan.For me this book poses one question above all: do I need to be this man's enemy?

- Malaria drugs - a dose of reality
DfID and other donors may subsidise the cost to manufacturers of slashing their prices for effective malaria drugs, but experience on the ground makes it seem doubtful children will benefit as they shouldI'm in Kampala where the rain is pounding on the roofs and turning any patch of earth to red mud. In Katine in north-eastern Uganda, where the Guardian supports an international development project and I have been most of the week, mosquitoes are breeding faster than ever. The swamps are full of water. The children's wards are full of malaria cases.So since we've been discussing on this blog a donor scheme to get the new antimalarial drugs to poor people in all the mosquito-ridden parts of the developing world, I thought I'd try to find out how it would work in reality in Katine. The big idea is for donors to get ACTs (artimisinin combination treatments) out where they are needed, in poor communities, by subsidising the price in the private sector. This is the Affordable Medicines Facility - malaria. It is going to be paid for by UNITAID, a European organisation which aims to improve access to medicines, and the UK's own department of international development (DfID). In rural Katine, where 25,000 people barely subsist off the land and there is no power and water comes from boreholes and wells (it used to come from the swamp), sometimes the government health centres have drugs and quite often they do not. Stock-outs are frequent and prolonged, as I have written elsewhere.So if the health centre has run out of ACTs, they cannot treat simple malaria. The old drugs like chloroquine and Fansidar are not supposed to be used any more because the malaria parasite has become resistant to them. Local people gather in large numbers outside the health centre every morning if there DFIDのと他のドナーは、効果的なマラリア薬の価格を引き下げのメーカーに、コストを補助金かもしれないが、現場での経験、それは疑わしい子供たちとカンパラにおいて雨が屋根の上に叩いている、任意のパッチを回すshouldI。。u0026#39;mの利益になるようになります赤泥地に

- The 111th Congress' legacy | Michael Tomasky
Here's a poll number that Greg Sargent found shocking, and Ezra Klein was more blase about. I think I'm closer to Sargent:[Findings among Democrats] Compared to recent Congresses, would you say this Congress has accomplished more, accomplished less, or accomplished the same amount? Among those who say less: When you say Congress has accomplished less this year, is that because Congress hasn't done enough or Congress has done the wrong things? More 33 Less and not done enough 18 Less and done wrong things 5 Same 37So only one-third of Democrats thinks the 111th Congress hasn't done enough? It passed five major bills, four of which aren't popular overall (Tarp, auto companies, healthcare and stimulus) but certainly have better numbers among Democrats. I find this strange. I guess most people just look at the unemployment rate and the shape of their local economy and figure it's not too good and therefore Congress hasn't done much.But I think this tendency in some liberal elite quarters to see the cup as half-empty has something to do with this perception too. As I've written many times, conservatives don't do this sort of thing nearly as much. If a Republican president and congress had done five things conservatives generally liked -lowered capital gains taxes, lowered corporate taxes, hemmed in the EPA in some way, taken some government services private, started a nice little war somewhere - even if they'd gotten only the proverbial half a loaf on all five things, most conservative commentators would be boasting about the revolution that was in the making and that would surely fulfill its triumph in the next Congress if only we got out there and voted in vast numbers and pressed the heel of our collective jackboot on the opposition's parched throat.The legacy of this Con ここでは投票数は、衝撃的なグレッグサージェントが見つかりましたことだエズラKleinの詳細については気ままなでした

- Letters: How to boost food production in Africa
It is great that new research from Harvard University is challenging pessimistic views of Africa as a continent unable to feed itself (Africa can feed itself in a generation, says author, if leaders take up cause, 3 December). However, the expensive and failing technology GM should have no role to play in this – not even selectively. UN research has shown that the adoption of organic and near-organic farming practices in Africa has improved yields by 116%, improved access to food for both farmers and local communities, and raised incomes. The role of agro-ecological farming methods in developing food security was strongly supported in the recent International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development report, written by 400 scientists and approved by 60 countries.Isobel TomlinsonPolicy and campaigns officer, Soil Association• Food production in much of Africa could be boosted by high-tech ideas or by simpler measures, such as growing fewer cash crops. But poverty, conflict and oppression will ensure hunger in a world of plenty while industrialised agriculture employs fewer people. Plentiful food supplies cause price crashes, and the dumping of subsidised western gluts affects local agriculture. Storing surplus crops requires facilities and money. Resource use is driven by finance, and food crops are easily diverted to other uses or replaced with cash crops, development and mineral extraction. Without an agreement on who should be responsible for food security, the misery will continue.Iain ClimieCharlcot, HantsFoodEnvironmental sustainabilityGMguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Johnston Press cuts jobs at its Irish newspapers
Johnston Press has announced another round of redundancies, this time at its Irish titles. Staff at several papers - such as the Kilkenny People, the Leinster Leader and the Limerick Leader - were told last week that jobs were being eliminated to save money. The company has written down the value of its Irish regional newspaper titles by 77% in just two years, following a €155m (£129m) spending spree earlier this decade.It tried to sell off the titles last year but did not get a large enough offer. News of the cuts follows the appointment of Jean Long as head of all the company's 42 Irish titles.Source: Irish IndependentJohnston PressMedia downturnMedia businessIrelandRegional & local newspapersNewspapersRoy Greensladeguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- In praise of… the haiku | Editorial
Last week Herman van Rompuy published a whole volume of poetry, in itself a surpriseBeneath the impassive breast of the new president of the European council, Herman van Rompuy, must beat a previously undetected sense of humour. Last week he published a whole book of poetry, in itself a surprise. Most remarkably, his passion is for a form of Japanese verse that is the bureaucratic equivalent of the limerick. The haiku is arguably the shortest of poetic forms, but it is claimed to be the one with the most rules: in three short lines, containing neither more nor less than 17 syllables, five in the first and third lines, seven in the second line, it must also contain a reference to season, should be naturalistic and observational in substance, and it should be divided into two independent parts. A style that requires such concentration in so tight a space suggests a writer facing the gloomy prospect of aeons of time before him in which he must maintain an appearance of interest in subjects so arcane that trying to fit a dozen or so words into a small, formal grid is more attractive. Naturally, the added challenge for a Eurocrat is that each poem has to be capable of translation from the original Dutch into English, French and German (although Mr van Rompuy delegated that part of the job). None of the above applies to the haiku written by the Japanese masters of the form, and may not apply to those written in a foreign language either. Like many publications from Brussels, there is some uncertainty about the rules. The only thing that is absolutely clear is that there are a lot of them.PoetryHerman Van Rompuyguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

North Korea's failed attempt to reform its currency has worsened shortages of food and other necessities, devalued its money and made it more reliant on China for survival. "The country is like a tinderbox," said Ye Yonglie, a veteran Shanghai journalist who has visited North Korea and written a book on it that was banned on the mainland. "The regime is in great danger. The reform has angered the ordinary people, who have hatred in their heart but do not dare to say it. They have lost faith in their currency."

- An Orthodox-Roman rapprochement | Hugh O'Shaugnessy
Pope Benedict's recent visit to Cyprus embodies the growing warmth between the churches, after centuries of poor relationsThere can't be much longer to wait, as the visit of Pope Benedict to Cyprus this month has shown. The Roman church and the independent Orthodox churches who acknowledge the leadership of Bartholomew, patriarch of Constantinople, are moving as swiftly as ecclesiastical bureaucracies will allow, to reunite. Not before time, they are setting aside the theological niceties backed by strong doses of odium theologicum which poisoned relations among them over a millennium of scandalous division.The presence of Benedict in Nicosia and a warm relationship he cemented with the Cypriot orthodox Archbishop Chrisotomos, is the latest of an increasing volume of contacts which date back to 1964 when Paul VI met and greeted the patriarch of Constantinople Athenagoras.The mutual anathemas launched on each other by the Vatican and the patriarchate in Constantinople over the centuries have been solemnly been rescinded and a formal patching up of the wounds and declaration of renewed unity cannot be long delayed. Soon the first ever meeting of the leader of the western church, Benedict in Rome and the Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill in Moscow will take place.In Moscow Kirill oversaw the publication in Russian and Italian in December of a volume of Benedict's works with an introduction written by Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk. A bishop who could be called the foreign minister of Russian Orthodoxy, Hilarion headed a delegation to Benedict in Rome the other day as the Vatican was bringing out a volume of the writings by Kirill on the dignity of man and human rights. It contained an introduction by Archbishop Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the Vatican's council fo 今月は示しているキプロスにローマ法王ベネディクトの訪問としてキプロスにローマ法王ベネディクトの最近の訪問は、貧しい人々relationsThere数世紀後に多くの待機する長くすることはできますが、教会の間に成長し暖かさを体現

- Michael Tomasky: Hank Johnson post; satisfied
Several of you seem to think that the fact that I haven't written a Hank Johnson post is evidence of a vast conspiracy and cover-up.All right, I confess. I was about to write a post yesterday. But as soon as I typed the letters H-a-n-k J-o, the wires connecting my keyboard to the motherboard at the Democratic National Committee tripped. The requisite mild electrical shock was administered, growing in intensity with each letter I typed, just like that war game Klaus Maria Brandauer played against Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again. I backed off, pressed discard, and reported later that evening to the DNC to receive my 20 lashes.I mean honestly. Hank Johnson. I guess I probably must have heard of him when he won the seat, but I've never heard his name since. There are dozens of such people in the House. You just never hear of them. He doesn't represent the Democratic Party or its level of collective intelligence or lack thereof any more than Blaine Leutkemeyer of Missouri, of whom I've also never heard until I sat down to write this post, represents all those things about the GOP. Besides which, if I spent my time writing posts about every ill-considered word that came out of a member of Congress' mouth...you get the idea.I will highlight dumb statements if they're laced with hatred and uttered for the sake of lying to people and whipping them into a state. But this doesn't qualify. And anyway, it sure looks to me as if the point of all the hubbub around this in the conservative blogosphere is for the purpose of demonstrating implicitly that Johnson and therefore black people, and therefore Obama, are stupid and don't deserve to be where they are in life. And by the way, Johnson is a lawyer and a practicing Buddhist who grew up in the segregated South and is in all lik あなたのいくつかは、私はハンクジョンソンの記事を書かれていないという事実は、広大な陰謀の証拠とカバーup.All権は考えているように、私は告白する

- Foreclosure funny business | Dean Baker
That US banks can skirt the paperwork required for home foreclosures shows it's one rule for them and another for usVirtually everyone has had the experience of being forced to pay a late fee or a bank penalty because of some fine-print provision that we overlooked. Sometimes, begging by good customers can win forbearance, but usually we are held to the written terms of the contract, no matter how buried or convoluted the clause in question may be.That is the way it works for the rest of us, but apparently this is not the way the banks do business, at least when those at the other end of the contract are ordinary homeowners. As a number of news reports have shown in recent weeks, banks have been carrying through foreclosures at a breakneck pace and freely ignoring the legal niceties required under the law, such as demonstrating clear ownership to the property being foreclosed.The problem is that when mortgages got sliced and diced into various mortgage-backed securities, it became difficult to follow who actually held the title to the home. Often the bank that was servicing the mortgage did not actually have the title and may not even know where the title is. As a result, if a homeowner stopped paying their mortgage, the servicer may not be able to prove they actually have a claim to the property.If the servicer followed the law on carrying through foreclosures then it would have to go through a costly and time-consuming process of getting its paperwork in order and ensuring that it actually did have possession of the title before going to a judge and getting a judgment that would allow them to take possession of the property. Instead, banks got in the habit of skirting the proper procedures and filling in forms inaccurately and improperly in order to take possession of スカートことができます自宅の差し押さえに必要な書類はそれを示している米国の銀行は、誰もが延滞料や我々が見落としていくつかの細かい印刷提供のために銀行の違約金を支払うことを余儀なくされての経験を持つ彼らのために一つのルール、別のusVirtuallyのです
- A leader who wished to end the crisis would sack Cardinal Bernard Law
There is not very much that Pope Benedict XVI can do to rescue the church from the crisis over sexual abuse. The reforms which would make a practical difference have already been put in place, and he deserves some credit for that – he will not get it. The scandals emerging are all from the 1970s or 1980s but in the popular imagination they might as well be happening now. Many of the most eloquent attacks on the church, such as that from Christopher Hitchens in a recent article in Slate magazine, come from enemies who would never give it the benefit of doubt, and for the moment public opinion is with them.The Catholic church has been framed as an institution for paedophiles, and truth is no defence to that perception. Even in Britain, where all the big scandals involving children being abused or even murdered have involved state care and secular institutions, and where according to Camila Batmanghelidjh more than half a million children are brought to the attention of the social services every single year and most of these are ignored to keep the figures looking good, there's no doubt that the Catholic church is written about as a more serious threat to the children in its care.Less than half of 1% of the Catholic clergy in the UK over the last three decades or so have been accused of child abuse. That's too many, of course. Nor do such comparative statistics suggest that two wrongs make a right. But they do show that two wrongs don't make one wrong even if there is only one wrong in the news.However, there is one gesture which a pope might make to improve things. The trouble is that Pope Benedict is not the pope who could. What has driven a great deal of the outrage is the perception that the church placed itself above the secular law. Well it does.

- Elizabeth Edwards: author of her own destiny | Melissa McEwan
The fact that she was forced to transcend the role of 'political wife' only underlines the dignity and strength she did it withHealthcare crusader, author, activist, attorney and mother of four, Elizabeth Edwards has died after a long battle with breast cancer.There will be many pieces written about her. All of them, if they're honest, will discuss what a passionate and knowledgeable advocate for healthcare reform Edwards was, even before she had occasion to make use of healthcare services in a fight for her life. Many of them will note her trailblazing internet savvy, or her enviable political skill, or her formidable television presence on cable news, or her bestselling books, or her fine legal career.And they will say that she was John Edwards' wife, once upon a time.From there, there will be, in many recountings of Elizabeth Edwards' time on this planet, a digression into a familiar tale of victimhood, or sainthood, or some insufferable devil's advocacy that she was really diabolical, a ruthlessly ambitious political mastermind who had no actual feelings about the implosion of her 30-year marriage, aside from the exasperation of public embarrassment and the inconvenience of derailed plans – the same story they were telling about Hillary Rodham Clinton all those years ago.Although I worked briefly for John Edwards' 2008 campaign, I spoke to Elizabeth on only a few occasions (the first of which was her firing me, in response to a mendacious press release issued by Bill Donohue, which asserted that I was an anti-Catholic bigot, followed quickly by a call to rehire me, after the blogosphere erupted). I cannot say, nor will I pretend, that I knew her well – or, at all, really, except in a professional capacity. What I knew about her, however, was that she was fiercely pr 彼女は強制されたという事実は、政治的妻だけ下線の尊厳と強さ、彼女はそれをやったwithHealthcareの十字軍は、作成者、活動家、弁護士、4つの母、エリザベスエドワーズは、乳房cancer.Thereとの長い戦いの後、死亡したの役割を超越する彼女について書かれた多くの作品になります
- Hideously diverse Britain: When Oliver met Mohammed
The most popular boy's name in Britain? It depends which paper you readSo there we are then. The most popular boy's name in the country is Mohammed. Or Muhammed. Or maybe Mohamed. But the official statisticians say it is Oliver. What's that about?This is very simple. If you look to the Daily Mail or the Daily Telegraph or, Lord help you, the Express, the most popular name in the land is one of the various variants of Mohammed, largely because you would like it to be.This is not to deny that a lot of people – overwhelmingly devotees of the Muslim faith – call their children Mohammed/Muhammed/Mohamed etc. They do. It's the prophet's name and they like it. But if the Mail or the Telegraph or Dirty Des's Express are your thing, it's grist to your mill to bundle the various spellings together and declare it the most popular choice, because white people in suburbs and villages don't often call their children Mohammed (etc). Thus it becomes yet more evidence of the extent to which the country is overrun by dark-skinned migrants, especially over-fertile Muslims.But if things were really that simple, why did other outlets: this one, the Sun, the Times, the Independent, go with the boys' name officially deemed most popular, Oliver. Well they listened to the ONS, which made the point that the names are listed on the basis of what is written on the birth certificate. The statisticians don't aggregate the variants and privately, they're aggrieved at those who do so to make a fairly cheap political point.But they could aggregate: and then we would see the Jameses added to the Jims, and the Thomases to the Toms and the Tommys and the Tommies, because all are basically the same name. They would bundle up the Jacks and the Johns and the Sions. They'd amalgamate the Lyns, the Lins and th 英国で最も人気のある男の子の名前は？それは私たちがしているがreadSoどの論文に依存します

- Singapore's reputation on the line as British author fights on
The trial of Alan Shadrake for criticising the death penalty has damaged Singapore's standingSingapore's long-serving administration has won some time to ponder how it will deal with yet another self-inflicted blow to its global branding.The reprieve came as a Singapore court today postponed a case against the British author Alan Shadrake for three weeks.Shadrake, 75, faces contempt of court charges, after Singapore's Media Development Authority lodged a police report on 16 July against his book Once a Jolly Hangman: Singapore Justice in the Dock, which criticises the application of the death penalty. Published in neighbouring Malaysia, the book has sparked a criminal defamation investigation against the author in Singapore.Shadrake rejected an offer of mitigation in exchange for an apology at today's contempt of court hearing and said he would fight on. This means more reputation damage is in store for the People's Action Party administration in the weeks ahead.Local groups and international human rights NGOs such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Reporters without Borders have criticised the decision to prosecute the author.News agencies, websites, blogs and social network sites are carrying news about the case around the globe and putting a sharp focus on censorship in Singapore.The Shadrake affair comes as a Malaysian, Yong Vui Kong, faces execution next month for a drug-related offence committed when he was 19. The Malaysian foreign ministry, under pressure from the public, has written to the Singapore government to plead clemency for Yong, now 22.Meanwhile, the British embassy in Singapore has chosen to play the Shadrake affair low key, opting to give the author quiet support without issuing public statements.The timing of the two incidents has r 死刑を批判のアランShadrakeの裁判は、シンガポールではのstandingSingaporeの長期奉。政権はいくつかの時間をどのようにグローバルbranding.Theの執行猶予にはまだ別の自傷行為打撃に対処する熟考を獲得した破損しているシンガポールの裁判所が、今日来た延期シンガポールのメディア開発局は7月16日ジョリーハングしたら彼の本に対する警察の報告書を提出した後の3つのweeks.Shadrake、75のための英国の作家アランShadrakeに対する訴訟は、裁判所は料金の軽蔑に直面して：シンガポール正義をドック、批判の死刑の適用

- The MCB's Wonderland election | Madeleine Bunting
The vote for a new leader of the Muslim Council of Britain points up worrying fissuresImagine an election with only one declared candidate running … and he is not going to win. It may sound like a form of democracy better devised in Alice's Wonderland, but unfortunately it's home-grow n: this is how the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) is due to decide on its next leader this Sunday.Over the past few years, the MCB has been repeatedly lambasted in the media; its sins range from tolerating hate preachers, officers who embroil the organisation in the complex politics of the Middle East, failing to educate its affiliate mosques in the rules of inter-faith relations and an intermittent refusal to attend Holocaust Memorial Day. Under this barrage, the MCB has been relegated to the sidelines of British public life. The Labour government, after initial enthusiastic patronage, pointedly turned its back and cut all links until it could get its house in order.Meanwhile, the other side of the story are the deep divisions that exist within the MCB. The tiny team in the Tower Hamlets office walk a tightrope, placating their 500-odd membership who are as reluctant to pay their dues as they are demanding of the MCB to stem what they see as a rising tide of Islamophobia. The resulting combination of high expectations and precarious finances does much to explain the kind of caution and nervousness that seems to weigh down the MCB officials. They have that appearance of hunkering down, always fearful of the next storm that could shipwreck the whole outfit.While some parts of the media seem to see the MCB as an Islamist front, part of a powerful network on the march for Europe-wide domination, the reality is rather more prosaic, struggling to pay for tea bags and the telephone bill, and in _NULL_
- Albums of 2010, No 10: John Grant - Queen of Denmark
Largely unknown a year ago, the former Czars frontman surprised many with his weird and wired take on soft rockExclusive session: John Grant performs Where Dreams Go To DieLast year, John Grant was known to perhaps a handful of hipsters as the former frontman of the Czars, a band who enjoyed a measure of critical acclaim if not commercial success. Twelve months on, his name features in many 2010 roundups for an album that is one of the year's word-of-mouth triumphs. After the Czars imploded, Grant descended into booze, drugs, suicidal thoughts and self-loathing, but subsequently had the kind of epiphany that can follow such a crisis. The result is a scarred but revelatory album. Queen of Denmark recalls Dennis (brother of Brian) Wilson's 1977 masterpiece, Pacific Ocean Blue: it has a similar feel of gazing out on to something endless and darkly inviting. With Midlake as his backing band, Grant assembled a tapestry of flutes, piano, strings, eerie synths and gentle drums; almost a weird, wired take on 70s soft rock with some deliberate, ironic nods to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Dean Friedman. Marz and Where Dreams Go to Die take cocked glances at capitalist America while the perkier Jesus Hates Faggots pokes fun at redneck attitudes, which Grant was forced to endure as a gay child in a religious Colorado household. But the sucker punch arrived with the emotionally wringing ballads Queen of Denmark, Sigourney Weaver and Caramel, on which the 41-year-old croons like a latterday, acid-scarred Sinatra. Grant has written almost supernaturally beautiful hymns of love, despair, chaos and ultimate redemption. His are the sort of songs that some artists spend their entire careers wishing they had written.Pop and rockFolk musicDave Simpsonguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limite 今年大部分が未知の前に、元皇帝のフロントマンが多くを驚かせた彼の奇妙なソフトrockExclusiveセッションを取る有線：ジョングラントは夢GoはDieLast年に、ジョングラントは皇帝の元フロントマンとして流行に敏感なのかもしれない一握りに知られていた場所を実行ではなく、商業的な成功を収める場合、批評家の称賛の尺度を楽しんだバンド

There were hundreds of prisoner of war camps in the UK during the second world war. See where they were and get the data• Get the dataWhat would happen if the UK's prison population suddenly increased by 400,000 people? That's what occurred between 1939 and 1948, when thousands of Germans, Ukranians and others became Britain's prisoners of war, according to a new book.The camps where the PoWs were imprisoned have largely (but not all) disappeared. At one time hundreds of them were spread across the UK.The best known was Island Farm in Wales - scene of a 'great escape' in 1945, with some German POWs getting as far as Birmingham and Southampton.Author Sophie Jackson has written a book, Churchill's Unexpected Guests, examining this overlooked period of Britain's history, looking at what happened to every camp from the period. Researching POW camp locations proved a challenge when compiling Churchill's Unexpected Guests. Few official lists of camps or prisoners remain from that time and most camps were temporary and pulled down after the war. Some have subsequently been built on.Most modern camp lists are based on archaeological work – ironic when the camps existed a mere 60 years ago. English Heritage has worked hard to find the locations of camps, but even so many are still undiscovered.Records from the time give an insight into camp life and sometimes reveal the name of a camp, but often the documents didn't reveal the actual address, and prisoners were not allowed to write their camp address on any letters they sent home.Despite the difficulties a great number of camps have been identified, including the few listed here. Some were more famous than others, such as Island Farm Camp, Bridgend from which an audacious escape attempt was made by German prisoners.Over the comi 英国では戦争の収容所の囚人数百人の第二次世界大戦中にあった
- George Clooney and John Prendergast | Not too late to stop another war in Sudan
It will not be easy, but if all sides are prepared to make concessions, Sudan can be put on the path to long-term peaceWell, we're in it now. What we do best. Diplomacy. The White House has dispatched Senator John Kerry to Sudan with a proposal for peace between the north and south. It's a giant step towards avoiding the kind of bloodshed that killed more than 2 million people in Sudan's previous 20-year north-south civil war, which ended only in 2005 – and is threatening to erupt once again.In recent months, Barack Obama has stepped up his own involvement and that of senior figures in his administration in support of a peace strategy for Sudan. On his behalf, Kerry has delivered a package of proposals designed to break the logjam that has brought the north and south to a dangerous crossroads.We have written a memo that spells out some of the essential elements of what a grand bargain for peace in Sudan could look like. The specifics of a possible peace deal – and the actions that you can take to support it – can be found at sudanactionnow.org.There is little time to waste. On January 9, 2011, the people of southern Sudan will vote for independence from the north, taking with them up to three-quarters of the country's known oil reserves and placing millions of civilians in the direct path of war.The government in Khartoum (the capital in the north) is led by Omar al-Bashir, whose accomplishments, which include overseeing war crimes during the previous north-south war and engineering the atrocities in Darfur, have brought him arrest warrants for war crimes and genocide from the international criminal court.And yet renewed war in Sudan is not inevitable. A complex but workable peace can be brokered if all interested parties become more deeply involved. The current moment それは、簡単にされず、すべての辺が譲歩をする用意がある場合は、スーダンは長期peaceWellへのパス上に置くことができますが、我々は今でている

- Belief is unnecessary, but knowledge helps | Roz Kaveney
Far from art leading me to Christianity, the Christianity I once believed in has given depth to my love of the artsThe question: What is the point of Christian arts?I read a lot of love poetry; I've even been known to translate it. No one expects me to fall in love with Catullus' aristocratic mistress, even when I am writing versions of his poems to her; she's dead, whoever she was. What I feel – what I draw on when I am re-imagining what he felt – comes from the men and women I've been in love with down the years. His passion and his loss and his anger have different stories to mine – but the emotional weight is something we have in common. This is why we can read love poetry from cultures whose sexual mores we find bizarre, about people we would never be attracted to ourselves, and still apply it to our own affairs.What moves us about love poetry is, in part, being in love with love.I've been an agnostic for the best part of 40 years; I don't believe in anything that resembles any worshipper's god and don't think any being worthy of respect would want my prayers. Yet hardly a week goes past in which I don't listen to music composed for acts of Christian worship – Bach and Vivaldi's cantatas and motets, Haydn's masses, Britten's settings of the Holy Sonnets of John Donne. Less often, I listen to classic Gospel and spirituals – it's not just the brilliance of composers that inspires me, but also the raw guts and strength of voices in performance.I remember belief; I remember how such music moved me as a part of my belief; and it moves me at least as deeply as it did then. Religious believers do not have a monopoly on a sense of wonder – and what I feel awe at is not the immensity of any god, but the aspiration of human beings to feel in touch with something greater than ファーは、芸術からキリスト教に私をリードし、キリスト教私は一度に考えられartsThe質問：私の愛の深さ与えてどのようなキリスト教芸術のポイントですか？私は愛の詩をたくさん読んで、私もそれを翻訳する知られてい

- Trapped Chilean miners at high risk of depression, warn doctors
After two months of isolation and darkness, experts warn of risk to the men's mental health after their rescueFor two months the trapped miners in Chile have endured 90% humidity and intermittent supplies of food and water, while having to clear part of the mine shaft to ensure their imminent rescue runs as smoothly as possible.In terms of physical health, the men have done well, taking part in an exercise regime designed to improve their fitness in preparation for the gruelling one-hour trip that each one will soon take back to the surface.But the mental health of the trapped miners is a different issue. Doctors have warned that depression is a serious risk in the wake of the long period of isolation and constant darkness that the men have been through. Extended periods of darkness interrupt the circadian rhythm, the day-night cycle which controls human body clocks. As a result, the miners may experience intense fatigue similar to that felt by travellers suffering from jet lag.To counteract this, LEDs designed to represent sunlight have been sent down the mine to trick the miners' body clocks back into something resembling normal operation. Magazines, bibles and journals have also been sent down through supply tubes, as well as a communal iPod with speakers and a video camera for the men to record messages for their families. A request for cigarettes was accepted after an improvement in the mine's ventilation was achieved.Some demands have been turned down; iPods with personal headphones were rejected because of fears they may isolate the men from one another and reduce the feeling of togetherness that has proved so valuable to their survival.The intense boredom suffered by the miners has also concerned medics, and a fibre optic projector has been sent down to screen m 分離と闇の2ヵ月後、専門家がrescueFor後に男性の精神的健康への危険を警告する坑道との明確な部分に持ちながら、チリの捕捉された鉱山労働者は、湿度90％、食料や水の断続的な供給を耐えてきた二ヶ月その身近な救助は、物理的な健康のpossible.In条件としてスムーズに実行されることを確認、男性はそれぞれがすぐに戻って取ることが厳しい一時間の旅行の準備のために自分の体力を向上させるために設計された運動政権に参加して、よくやったsurface.Butがトラップされた鉱山労働者の精神的健。別の問題です

- Treasures from Budapest | Visual art review
Royal Academy, LondonIt is understandable that publicists for this exhibition chose to put Egon Schiele's 1915 work Two Women Embracing on the posters. Sex sells, and drawing does not come any sexier than Schiele's transfixing image, whose ultimate provocation is the way one of the women looks around at the artist to show that she is gratifying his fantasy. But there is more to the foregrounding of this erotic masterpiece than commerce: it exemplifies a theme that runs through this once-in-a-lifetime show.From the first room, where Hungarian gothic altarpieces are juxtaposed with Italian Renaissance delights, to the last, where Schiele gives you a final thrill, the art of central Europe is richly mingled with extraordinary works from the west that are in Hungary's public collections. I've never seen such a generous loan from one country's museums – by comparison, the Hermitage exhibit at the RA was quite cautious. This is a true blockbuster, practically a museum in itself, stuffed with surprises and marvels. Highlights include a portrait by Frans Hals that proves him the equal of his contemporary Rembrandt, a pair of working-class heroes painted by Goya, a Raphael homage to Da Vinci and, oh yes, a couple of Leonardo's own greatest designs. And that merely scratches the surface.The thread that connects it all is a vision of Europe. Western Europe's artistic development has been written as a march of progress since the Renaissance. Hungarian collectors fully subscribed to that version, and bought some supreme Italian works. But here you see those paragons alongside carved wooden saints from Hungarian churches in a way that expands your sense of the variety and greatness of the continent's heritage. European art through Hungarian eyes is a landscape made new.Rati ロイヤルアカデミーは、LondonItは、この展覧会の時事評論は、エゴンシーレの1915作品ポスターに抱きしめるふたりの女を置くことを選んだことは理解できる
- Letters: Denial of gay rights adds to risk of Aids
It is with grave dismay that we learn of the imprisonment of Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga (Malawian gay couple jailed for 14 years, 21 May) and join with numerous southern African organisations in condemning the decision and the impact it will have on the individuals and the principle of universal human rights.The denial of human rights of all kinds has a very negative effect on the Aids response. Men who have sex with men are at risk of HIV transmission in all regions of the world, including Africa. The more marginalised they become, the higher the risk, and this decision – which runs contrary to stated government policy on HIV and the rights enshrined in the constitution of Malawi – will drive them further away from the information and services essential to an effective HIV response. Stigma and discrimination have potent consequences – countless thousands have died from HIV as a result of silence and fear.A commitment to human rights is essential to securing equitable and fair development. It must be an intrinsic part of the effort to end the spread of HIV. The eyes of the world are now on the government of Malawi. We have written to the Malawi high commission calling on them to demonstrate its government's commitment to universal human rights and an effective, inclusive Aids response by releasing the men and moving to repeal laws which deny human rights. We also call on them to take action to combat homophobia in Malawi and to lead an honest and open dialogue on the impact of discrimination against key populations, such as men who have sex with men, drug users and sex workers, on the African Aids response.Alan SmithChair, Stop Aids CampaignMalawiGay rightsAids and HIVHuman rightsguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content これは重大なぼう然として、我々はスティーブンMonjezaとTiwonge Chimbalanga（マラウイゲイカップル14年間、投獄の刑を学ぶです5月21日）と、それは個人やに与える影響を決定を非難する数多くのアフリカ南部の組織との結合すべての種類の人権の普遍的な人間rights.The拒否の原理は、エイズの応答に非常に否定的影響を与えません
- Letters: Extraordinary rendition: the public must have the truth
In the light of the string of recent revelations, the all-party parliamentary group on extraordinary rendition, Amnesty International UK, Human Rights Watch, Liberty and Reprieve have united to call on the government to establish an independent inquiry into the UK's involvement in extraordinary rendition and the mistreatment of detainees abroad. The public should not have to rely on occasional speeches and lengthy judicial cases to discover the truth about such a serious issue.We propose that such an inquiry should examine, among other issues, the use of UK territory and airspace and the involvement of the intelligence agencies and the armed forces. The inquiry should be guided by the following statement of principles.It should be led by a judge or former judge. It should benefit from appropriate legal representation on the inquiry's panel. This is essential to give the inquiry independence and legitimacy.It should be public, with as much evidence as possible heard in public. The government should disclose all relevant documents to the inquiry, and the head of the inquiry must have the power to decide what should be made public.It should aim to achieve maximum possible disclosure.It should publish a report, making any necessary recommendations, including those on changes to the law and/or policy.It should consider any other such matters as it considers appropriate, and accept and consider written submissions from interested parties.All-party parliamentary group on extraordinary rendition, Amnesty International UK, Human Rights Watch, Liberty, ReprieveHuman rightsCIA renditionForeign policyUS foreign policyguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Eric Hobsbawm on multiculturalism | Andrew Brown
A 2003 interview with Eric Hobsbawm illuminates his views on Tito's Yugoslavia and the future of multiculturalismIn 2003 I made a BBC Radio 4 Analysis programme on ethnic cleansing, inspired, in part, by a profile I had written for this paper of Benny Morris, who believes in it. Half way through the research, I was at the annual Guardian features party, and there, sitting alone in a corner amid the drums and bass, was Eric Hobsbawm. I went over and we shouted at each other until we had agreed an interview about nationalities and how they can live together. Some of it was used in the programme, but there are still some interesting fragments in the transcript. Here is one: AB: You say that [ethnic cleansing] shouldn't be accepted, but can we hope to roll it back? To take a practical example – when you look at Kosovo, is there any way in which a fractured, formerly multi-ethnic society can be put back together?EH: Well it was done. It was done in Yugoslavia under Tito, so the fact is it can be done. If you start splitting societies, that is the safest recipe for ethnic cleansing - whether it's multi-national societies or multi-national empires, that's what happens - so my answer would be avoid splitting societies.AB: [But] I don't see that the United Nations could ever use Tito's methods. Or should actually.EH: What was Tito's method in this respect?AB: Well I mean he ran a full on Stalinist dictatorship which did indeed suppress an awful lot of inter-ethnic bad feeling, but at a price which I don't think that the United Nations could possibly pay.EH: I think you make a mistake there. You see Tito believed in fact in Yugoslavia as a mixture or a federation of equal nations.

- Roy Greenslade: Pete Seeger sings about journalists and their union
A friend emails to point to this video of the wonderful Pete Seeger singing the first verse of Newspapermen meet such interesting people. The song, written by Vern Partlow (best known for his 1945 anti-nuclear protest song Old Man Atom), ends with support for the US journalists' union, the Newspaper Guild. I guess, at a stretch, it could be adapted for the NUJ. Seeger is 86 in this clip and, earlier this month, celebrated his 91st birthday. Here are the full lyrics...Oh, a newspaperman meets such interesting people,He knows the lowdown (now it can be told);I'll tell you quite reliably off the record,About some charming people I have known.For I meet politicians and grafters by the score,Killers plain and fancy, it's really quite a bore.Oh, a newspaperman meets such interesting people,He wallows in corruption, crime and gore.Ting-a-ling-a-ling, city desk!Hold the press, hold the press;Ex-tra, Ex-tra! Read all about it!It's a mess, meets the test.Oh, a newspaperman meets such interesting people,It's wonderful to represent the press.Now, you remember Mrs Sadie Smuggery,She needed money for a new fur coat; To get insurance, she employed skull-duggery;She up and cut her husband's only throat.She chopped him into fragments, and stuck them in a trunk; She shipped them to her uncle back yonder in Podunk.Oh, a newspaperman meets such interesting people;It must have startled poor old Sadie's unc.RefrainYes, a newspaperman meets such interesting people;I've met the girl with million dollar knees;The guy who sat five years upon a steeple(Just where the point was, I could never see).I've met Capone and Hoover, and lots of other fakes;I've even met a genius who swallows rattlesnakes.Oh, a newspaperman meets such interesting people;The richest girl who could not bake a cake.RefrainOh 友人は素晴らしいピートシーガーのこの動画をnewspapermanの最初の詩を歌ってこのような面白い人に会う指すようにメール
- LPO/Alsop | Classical review
Royal Festival Hall, LondonMarin Alsop's latest concert with the London Philharmonic prefaced Górecki's Third Symphony with UK premieres of works by Mark-Anthony Turnage and Philip Glass. Turnage's Texan Tenebrae draws its material from Anna Nicole, his forthcoming opera about the life and drug-related death of Anna Nicole Smith. The piece is notable for its hallucinatory quality and unvarying shrillness. A distorted phrase from Mahler's Kindertotenlieder weaves through a tangle of clanging bells, fragmented schmaltz and acid percussion rasps. Alsop and the LPO did much with its tatty glamour, but it sounded like a chunk from a longer work that needs the rest to supply its meaning.Glass's Violin Concerto No 2 is subtitled The American Four Seasons. Written for Robert McDuffie as a Vivaldi companion piece, it links Glass's own minimalism to the classicism and neo-classicism of the 18th and 20th centuries respectively. Baroque in scale, and slyly using a synthesiser as continuo, it interweaves unaccompanied solos with formal movements of great melodic beauty. Moments of suspect intonation showed that McDuffie was pushed to his limits, though the standing ovation at the close was richly deserved.Górecki's Third, meanwhile, was unforgettable and, in its context, unique. It was dedicated to the 96 victims of the Polish plane crash, and a minute's silence was requested at the end. Unable to fly to London due to current airline restrictions, soprano soloist Joanna 。ós had driven across Europe to get here. Despite – or perhaps because of – its former popularity, the symphony's outings are rare; this was a reminder of just how gut-wrenching it can be. 。ós, dark-toned and fearfully intense, was matchless in it.Rating: 4/5Classical musicPhilip GlassAntonio VivaldiPolandTim As ロイヤルフェスティバルホール、ロンドンフィルハーモニー管弦楽団とLondonMarinアルソップの最新コンサートマーク。。u003dアンソニーターネイジとフィリップグラスの作品の英国プレミアでグレツキの交響曲第3に始まります
- Cameron asked to intervene on new UN women's agency
Talks on a new UN agency for women do not appear to be going well, as member states argue over representation and the mandate. NGOs are asking British Prime Minister David Cameron to use his influence at the G8.With a big focus at the G8/G20 in Canada this weekend on saving the lives of women in pregnancy and childbirth and their newborn babies, there are many who think it's time to get the new UN women's agency up and running.Last September, the UN General Assembly accepted the proposal of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for a new single organisation under the UN umbrella which would promote women's rights and equality around the world. But some think the negotiations are getting bogged down to the point where the agency, if it ever gets off the ground, will be pretty ineffective.In frustration at the slow progress, VSO and the UK Gender and Development Network have now written to David Cameron, asking him to press the G8 members and the other UN states to reach consensus on an agency that has real ambitions and the mandate to get things done. This is what they say in their letter:We believe a new women's agency has the potential to make a lasting difference to the lives of millions around the world by helping women give birth safely, stay in school longer, live free from violence, and earn an income. With just five years until the deadline for the Millennium Development Goals, a new women's agency is desperately needed to overcome the entrenched apathy among many governments and UN agencies to making progress on women's equality. A new women's agency will reduce the incoherence, fragmentation, and lack of leadership on women that currently characterises the UN system. Greater efforts to empower women and improve their status will drive reductions in maternal mortality, 女性のための新たな国連機関の協議は加盟国が表現と任務を議論も、行くことに表示されません
- We need birth control, not geoengineering
The pill, condoms and IUDs are some of the most effective – and cheap – weapons the world has to fight climate change. From Grist, part of the Guardian Environment NetworkI've written about my choice not to have children. What's all too easy to forget is that many women still don't have any reasonable choice about their fertility. An estimated 200 million women around the world don't have access to family-planning tools. If they did, 52 million unwanted pregnancies could be averted every year, according to the Guttmacher Institute [PDF]. I'm not talking government mandates or coercion or heavy-handed tactics — those approaches aren't just ethically dubious, they're wholly unnecessary. We just need to give every woman everywhere contraceptive options so she can have basic control over how many children she has and how close together she has them — something that we in the developed world take completely for granted. If we did so, many women would choose on their own to have fewer children, or to space them further apart. Not only would there be fewer new bodies on our already crowded planet, but the lives of women and the children they do choose to have would be improved.Most green groups don't like to talk about all this — population has become the third rail of the environmental community (more on that in a future post). Technologists don't like to either — they'd rather talk about traveling-wave nuclear reactors and CO2-sucking machines and space sunshades. We do need to explore and invest in cleantech options; climate change is serious enough that it requires all of our best efforts in all arenas.But it may be that many of the technologies with the most potential for averting climate change already exist — the pill, the condom, the IUD. We just need to spread t ピル、コンドームとIUDsはいくつかの最も効果的 - 安い - 武器、世界は、気候変動と戦うためにしています

- How far should we let Big Oil go? | Antonia Juhasz
An alternative annual report for the oil company Chevron looks at the deep costs paid for the world's oil addictionIn the month since BP's oil rig exploded in the US Gulf Coast, what has struck me the most is not, unfortunately, the magnitude of the spill, the damage caused that is likely to continue for decades, the inability of BP or federal agencies to clean up – much less stop – the spill, or the revelations of BP's pre-explosion lobbying, which likely contributed greatly to the disaster taking place.I have instead been most moved by the rapid, overwhelming and broad-based demand from people all across the US and the world for a fundamental rethinking of just how far they are willing to let Big Oil go in pursuit of the world's remaining oil.As I prepare for the annual general meeting of the fourth largest global oil company – Chevron (BP is the third largest) – I am confronted daily by people who are looking around their own communities and out across the world with new-found attention to the deep costs paid every day for our oil addiction.A new alternative annual report for Chevron, The True Cost of Chevron, of which I am an author and the editor, will be released at a press conference on 25 May in Houston, Texas – just a few hundred miles from the sites where oil is washing up on shore following the explosion on BP's rig. Written by dozens of authors from 16 countries and 10 states from across the US who either live in, or advocate on behalf of, communities where Chevron operates, the report criticises Chevron's record on human rights, the environment, the climate, public health, worker safety and treatment of indigenous populations.From Chevron's coalfields in Alabama to its oil wells in Indonesia, the report examines operations mired in accusations of human righ 石油会社は、シェブロンが深いコスト、世界の石油addictionInヶ月BP社の石油掘削装置は、米国メキシコ湾岸で爆発から支払わを見ての代替の年次報告書、どのようなニュースを私に結んでいるほとんどが、残念ながらはないが、流出の大きさ、被害は数十年間継続する可能性が高い原因は、BPや連邦政府機関の無力は、クリーンアップするために - はるかに少ない停止 - 流出、または可能性が大幅に災害place.Iを取ることに貢献BP社の中。爆発ロビーの印を代わりに、最も基本的などれだけ彼らが大手石油会社は、世界の残りのoil.Asの追求に行くように心がけていますの見直しのための人々全米と世界から急速に、幅広いベースの圧倒的な需要によって移動されている私4番目の世界最大の石油会社の年次総会のprepare - シェブロン（BP社は、3番目largest）です - 私は毎日自分のコミュニティとdeepコスト新たに発見配慮して、世界中around looking人によって直面am毎日シェブロン私たちの石油addiction.A代わる新たな年次報告書、シェブロンの真のコスト、そのうちの私は著者と編集者午前、ヒューストン、テキサス州の5月25日の記者会見で発表されるの支払い - わずか数オイルはBPのリグで爆発、次の海岸上に洗っているサイト100マイルから
- US government calls for new laws to halt repeat of deepwater oil spill
Announcement follows White House report that found BP received exemptions for its Gulf well based on decades-old dataThe Obama administration is calling for environmental reviews for all new deepwater oil drilling, spelling an end, for the time being at least, to the kind of exemptions that allowed BP to drill its blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico with little scrutiny. The announcement came after a report by the White House Council on Environmental Quality that found BP received environmental exemptions based on decades-old data for its well that exploded in April, killing 11 workers and triggering the US's worst-ever oil spill. Shallow-water drilling also will be subject to stricter scrutiny.The report sheds new light on the granting of those categorical exclusions, saying the exclusions BP operated under were written in 1981 and 1986, long before the boom in deepwater drilling propelled by dramatic new technologies for reaching far into the sea floor.The report also finds other problems with how the Minerals Management Service applied environmental laws in reviewing the BP project. It notes, for example, that in assessing the likelihood of a major spill, MMS did not consider the example of the disastrous 1979 Ixtoc spill in the Gulf, simply because the spill was not in US waters.BP oil spillOilObama administrationUnited StatesOilOil and gas companiesguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Rwanda: Kagame's power struggle | Phil Clark
President Kagame's pre-election crackdown is not about repressing the opposition – it's aimed at his own partyElections tend to bring out the worst in Rwanda and the 2010 presidential vote, which takes place on 9 August, has proven no different. In recent months, opposition leaders, journalists and dissident military officers have been jailed, injured or murdered. On 25 June, Jean-Léonard Rugambage, the acting editor of the Umuvugizi newspaper, was shot dead in front of his house in Kigali.Rugambage had written several articles criticising the pre-election crackdown by President Paul Kagame and the ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). A month before Rugambage's murder, the government suspended Umuvugizi and another critical newspaper, Umuseso, on grounds of inciting public disorder. Kagame's main opponent, Victoire Ingabire, leader of the FDU-Inkingi party, and her American lawyer, Peter Erlinder, were arrested and locked up.Human rights groups have accused Kagame and the RPF of authoritarianism and of rigging the election. However, simply labelling the Rwandan government as authoritarian shrouds the complexity of political and social divisions in Rwanda and provides little insight into the future directions of the country.Elections in Rwanda both illuminate and exacerbate ethnic and political relations. Moves toward multi-party democracy in the early 1990s allowed the rise of extremist Hutu political leaders who sought the extermination of political moderates and Tutsi civilians, culminating in the 1994 genocide. Like the current presidential election, the lead-up to the 2003 presidential and parliamentary vote was also marred by violence and the quashing of political dissent. In Rwanda, elections typically mean volatile contestation over power and fears that extremis カガメ大統領の選挙前の取り締まりについては反対を抑制されていません - それは彼自身のpartyElectionsでルワンダで、2010年大統領選、その8月9日に行われる、ない別のを証明して最悪の事態を引き出すために傾向が目的だ

Here are extracts, as published in the SunAlmost 48 hours after Raoul Moat allegedly embarked on a shooting spree at 2.30am on Saturday, he reportedly called at his friend Andy Mcallister's house and gave him a handwritten letter, explaining that he wanted it passed on to the police and press.Moat had visited Mcallister at around 11.30pm on Saturday, and police had spent most of Sunday interviewing Mcallister after he called to tell them he had seen Moat. Then around 1.30am on Monday, Moat is reported to have returned to deliver the letter to his friend to tell his side of the story, according to the Sun.These are extracts as reported in the Sun today:Last night I called 999 and declared war on Northumbria police before shooting an officer on the West End A69 roundabout in his T5. Sitting there waiting to bully someone. Probably a single mum who couldn't afford her car tax.Rang again and told them they're gonna pay for what they've done to me and Sam. I went straight but they couldn't let it go. The public need not fear me but the police should as I won't stop till I'm dead.On the night 3/7/10 I shot Chris Brown and Samantha Stobbart, after an argument earlier that evening, and here I will make all the facts clear so there is no misunderstanding.They took it all from me, kids, freedom, house, then Sam and Chanel. Where could I go from there? Obviously I have issues but I was pushed. I never beat my kids. I could simply admit to anything now cos it doesn't matter. I'm a killer and a maniac but I ain't no coward.I was terrified of losing Sam, as I knew I'd lose the plot and that, and not wanted to do so stopped me from ever beating her and anyone saying otherwise can go on a lie detector.Now I ニューカッスルの犯人伝え警察にキーを押します彼の話を説明するために書いている

- Bank holiday weekend promises usual mix of strikes, roadworks and grey skies
Disruption on the roads and rail networks, a BA strike and a gloomy forecast from the Met Office: another bank holiday loomsThere is no escape: as the second May bank holiday weekend looms, the country will be criss-crossed with road and rail engineering works, the capital disrupted by part suspension of major tube lines, another tranche of the British Airways strike is pending, and the weather will be horrible.After weather hotter than the Mediterranean in many places last weekend, the Met Office is predicting an entirely predictable bank holiday mixture of scattered showers and intermittent sunshine – with the probability of downpours across much of England and Wales on Saturday.Although talks continue, the next phase of the British Airways cabin crew industrial action is due to kick in on Sunday. BA has put up an emergency timetable, and hopes to operate a full service from London's City and Gatwick airports, but is warning passengers not to come to the airport without a confirmed booking.The AA expects to see 15m cars grinding to a standstill on the UK's roads this weekend, with half of all motorists taking to their cars. Friday – with the usual commuter traffic swollen from early afternoon with holidaymakers trying to get away – is likely to be the busiest day.AA Roadwatch says that the threat to air travel from strikes and volcanic ash has increased the trend towards holidaying at home, meaning roads towards the coast and national parks may be exceptionally busy, with heavy caravan traffic on roads towards the south west.The AA also warns that 70,000 breakdowns this weekend could be avoided by simple checks, such as coolant levels and engine fans, to avoid the risk of cars overheating while stuck in traffic.Although the Highways Agency has suspended many roadworks 破砕、道路や鉄道網、BAのストライキと気象庁から悲観的な予測に関する研究：他の銀行の休日loomsThere、国は道路や鉄道工学と交。縦横れることはないのエスケープを：2番目の5月のバンクホリデーの週末は、織機として動作、気象庁は完全に予測可能な銀行を予測している、資本の一部での主要な管ライン、ブリティッシュエアウェイズストライキの他のトランシェの停止を中断中であり、天気が地中海よりhorrible.After天気高温多くの場所で最後の週末になるだろう散乱シャワー、断続的な日照の休日の混合物 - Saturday.Although会談で、イングランドとウェールズの大部分で豪雨の確率で、ブリティッシュエアウェイズ客室乗務員工業アクションの次の段階を継続日曜日のキックによるものです
- Russia: Shared scourge, different causes | Editorial
Russia's dirty war is not over after all. And, as so often, the innocent are the first to sufferThe parallels are written in the blood of the innocent. On a day much like any other, suicide bombers descend into the underground system of a major European city in the midst of the morning rush hour. They board a crowded train, crammed with commuters. They detonate their explosives. The impact is indiscriminate and lethal, in many cases life ending, in all others life changing. For a while, chaos reigns in the city. Then come the calls for action and the pledges of revenge. Five years ago the city was London. Yesterday morning it was Moscow.What happened yesterday at two Moscow underground stations was barbaric. Violence of this kind against innocent people is intolerable wherever it occurs. Quite rightly, there is a reflexive sense of solidarity between those who have suffered from terrorist outrages. Many Londoners know what many Muscovites have just experienced. Countries such as Britain, Spain and India, all of which have endured long and difficult battles against their own terrorists, as well as lethal terror attacks on their urban transport systems, have lessons – mistakes as well as successes – to share with the Russians.Our societies face a similar scourge. But we do not face a common enemy. It is important that we do not pretend otherwise, not least because the world is riddled with indefensible actions taken by states with varying degrees of justification in the name of a common struggle against terrorism. Most terrorism has local not global roots and most solutions are local too. The logic, if that is the right word, of the bombings lies in several previous attacks over the past decade and in Moscow's often ruthless and occasionally incompetent responses to them. ロシアの汚い戦争以上のすべての後ではありません
- U.S. Senate Banking Committee passes financial reform package
The U.S. Senate banking committee on Monday approved a financial reform package aimed at overhauling the country's banking system in a bid to reduce the likelihood of another financial crisis on the level of the Great Recession.
The package, written by Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, was passed by a vote of 13 to 10. All Democrats on the committee voted in favor, while all Republicans against.
The bill will now proceed to the Senate floor, where it will be debated and amended ... 日、米上院銀行委員会は、大不況のレベルで、別の金融危機の可能性を減らすために、金融制度改革パッケージには、入札には国の金融システムの改革を目指した承認された
- Key figures in the Binyam Mohamed case
The foreign office barrister, the judge and the public law barristerJonathan SumptionThe famously expensive £2m-a-year commercial lawyer was accused by critics of abusing the legal process by demanding that the court change its draft judgment to be less critical of his clients in MI5. Sumption won that skirmish, but lost the war when the contents of his letter were publicly revealed. David Miliband pointedly said the manoeuvre had been Sumption's idea. Sumption has Tory links that date back to the 1970s. As speechwriter for Sir Keith Joseph, he served on a secret group chaired by Lord Carrington called the authority of government committee, which drew up plans to defeat trade unions. He also co-wrote a book with Joseph attacking the idea of equality as a desirable political aim. Sumption went to Eton and Magdalen college, Oxford, where he became a history fellow. His father was a tax barrister who twice stood unsuccessfully as a Conservative candidate. He has written a three-volume history of the hundred years war.Despite his Tory links and his huge fees, Sumption was hired at taxpayers' expense by the Labour government over the disposal of Railtrack, the extradition problem of General Pinochet, the close-down of the criminal investigation into BAE, and the Hutton inquiry.Lord NeubergerOne of the country's most respected judges, he is popular among lawyers and civil liberties campaigners for his approachable manner and robust judgments. Educated at Westminster school and Oxford, he went into investment banking at NM Rothschild & Sons before being called to the bar. He has had one of the swiftest careers in the judiciary, after being appointed a law lord in his 50s, and stepping down last year aged 61 to become the head of the civil justice system as master of the rolls. 外国のオフィスの弁護士は、裁判官と公法barristerJonathan SumptionThe有名な高価な£ 2メートルは年間商業弁護士は、裁判所は以下の彼のクライアントのMI5はで重要なことに、その案の判断の変更を要求して、法的手続きを乱用して批評家から非難された
- North and South Korea: A history of violence
The two declared an armistice in 1953 but signed no treaty – so the assassinations, firefights and tough diplomacy go onNorth and South Korea are still in a state of war technically because they never signed a peace treaty after an armistice ended the 1950-53 conflict.Since the war in which hundreds of thousands died – the exact number remains unclear – relations between the two countries have been jolted by violent incidents. The latest – the alleged sinking of a South Korean warship by a North Korean submarine – is by no means the most blatant act of aggression from Pyongyang.In January 1968, a team of North Korean commandos crossed the demilitarised zone – one of the world's most heavily militarised areas – in an attempt to kill Park Chung-hee, the South Korean president. The 31 commandos, disguised as South Korean soldiers, were stopped 800 metres from the Blue House, the official presidential residence, by a police contingent. The North Koreans gave themselves away with their nervous replies, then shooting broke out. Only two of the 31 commandos escaped; the rest were tracked down and killed. In response, Seoul reportedly organised its own assassination squad, Unit 684, which was disbanded in 1971.Days after the attempt on President Park, North Korea seized the USS Pueblo in international waters, leading to a diplomatic confrontation between the US and North Korea. One US sailor was killed and the other 82 were released, but only after 11 months and the US issusing an apology, a written admission that the Pueblo had been spying, and an assurance that the US would not spy in future.The written apology, however, was preceded by a verbal statement that it was written only to secure the liberty of the crew.

- Endangered species: Last chance to see | Editorial
The Cites conference in Doha has exposed the limits of environmental co-operationThe Guatemalan spiny-tailed iguana can doze peacefully in the central American sun after this month's international meeting on endangered species. There was also good news for Kaiser's newt, a very rare salamander native to Iran, whose striking orange legs have made it a target for web-based traders in exotic pets. Both creatures won protection under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species in votes at its conference in Doha. But they are the lucky few. Greed and short-term national interests have been trampling over science and conservation at the meeting, which ends on Thursday. Like the Copenhagen summit, it has been a largely miserable event, exposing the limits of environmental co-operation.The Cites agreement, which came into being in the early 1970s, is an imperfect but intermittently effective way of saving species from commercial destruction. It imposes restrictions of varying severity on the trade in a huge range of plants and animals – charismatic species such as African elephants and tigers and many more that only scientists have heard of: 5,000 species of animals and 28,000 plants in all.The convention's weaknesses are well known: little funding, no legal powers to enforce its rulings on member states and countless ways for smugglers and poachers to evade official restrictions. The internet has emerged as a new marketplace for illegal animal products. But most problematic of all is Cites's dependence on agreement between its 175 member states. Big, pro-conservation powers such as the US and the EU have been outvoted this month.There have been three main tests of strength. The first, a hoped-for ban on trade in bluefin tuna, was crushed by Japan, after intense カタールのドーハで、CITESの会議の環境協力の限界operationTheグアテマラの棘イグアナを平和的に、中央アメリカの太陽の下で、絶滅危惧種には、この月の国際会議後に居眠りをすることができます。露出している

The tale had Tom Clancy written all over it, with the CIA investigating a far-off economy out of concern that its collapse might pose problems for America. That reportedly happened in 2002 as Japanese deflation threatened to spread around the globe.

- I'm too busy staring into space for leisure | Tim Dowling
So British men have 32 more minutes of leisure time a day than women do – I'd better ask the dog what to do with itA survey by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has found that British men have, on average, more leisure time in their day than women – 32 minutes more, to be precise. This is a lot compared with Germany, where men get just 22 minutes extra, but still not really enough to be of much use. If you have to drive to your leisure activity and back, for example, you may as well not bother; better to stay home and fret quietly.There are, of course, some grey areas in this leisure gap. Shopping can be a hobby or a chore, depending on what you're buying and how much you've got to spend. Grooming can be business or pleasure, depending on your point of view. Enjoying your job in any way would probably be considered cheating.I'm not the busiest person in the world, or even in my marriage, but officially, none of my time is free time. Every minute of every day is spoken for. All my leisure activities, therefore, take place in hours robbed from non-leisure categories. I watch telly when I should be sleeping. I teach myself the banjo off the internet when I should be working. I read when I should be playing with my children.Because I work from home, most of my hobbies – and don't get me wrong, I have many – must be reclassified for accounting purposes. The average 20 minutes per day spent talking to the dog as if it were my therapist, for example, counts as admin. Picking small objects off the ground in the park gets filed under research and development. Making bread – an intense, but episodic obsession – is written off as medical leave.It's not a work-life balance in the traditional sense. Technically, I never clock off, but then I have a jo だから、イギリス人の余暇の32分以上の女性よりも1日持っている - 私はより英国の男性は、上にして発見したもの機関経済協力開発機構（OECD）のサオの調査を行うには、犬の皆様にお願いしたい女性よりも1日の平均余暇時間 - 32分以上、正確には
- African leaders: countries for old men
Robert Mugabe is the eldest statesman on a continent where age is seldom a barrier to powerLet them eat cake. That is one of the likely headlines after an all-night birthday gala for Robert Mugabe, the autocratic president of Zimbabwe, which was due to finish in the early hours of yesterday. Mugabe, who last week turned 86 in a country where average life expectancy stands at 45, is the eldest statesman on a continent where age is seldom a barrier to power.But events confronting both Nigerians and Nigeriens in the past week have demonstrated that the next generation of African leaders might find it somewhat harder to crush all comers.President Mamadou Tandja of Niger, who had rewritten the constitution rather than quit when his term expired, paid the penalty when soldiers stormed the presidential palace and spirited him away in a military coup. Diplomats were ambivalent about whether to condemn the means or praise the ends.President Umaru Yar'Adua of Nigeria, who created a power vacuum when he disappeared in November for medical treatment in Saudi Arabia, returned at dead of night to a country where politicians, lawyers, media and ordinary citizens have made their demands for accountability and transparency clear. Yar'Adua's deputy, Goodluck Jonathan, remains at the helm while questions linger over the president's health.In recent times, the objections raised to the likes of Menzies Campbell and John McCain in recent British and American election campaigns rarely keep politicians awake here.Africa's club of leaders of pensionable age includes Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, 81, Cameroon's Paul Biya, 77, Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali of Tunisia, 73, Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, believed to be 67, Eduardo dos Santos of Angola, also 67, Denis Sassou Nguesso of Congo-Brazzaville, thought to b ロバートムガベ大統領の大陸では年齢はほとんどがケーキを食べるpowerLetにバリアされている長男の政治家です
- Feminism doesn't have all the answers
Natasha Walter's new book on the return of sexism raises important issues - but it can't possibly nail down human natureThe feminist writer Natasha Walter has written a well-publicised new book, Living Dolls, in which she laments the liberated female's embrace of pole-dancing, Nuts magazine, Katie Price and related mainstream sleaze. I haven't read it yet, so I don't know her conclusions. But I do know one thing: feminists are disappointed in the behaviour of emancipated women, because they just didn't understand very much about how women who were not committed to feminism might behave, given emancipation.In an interview, Walter said she was inspired to write her book by a young woman who confessed she found it hard to find the courage to criticise the routine submission to male fantasy that her peers engaged in. Fair enough. Many women do feel that way.But many other women are happy to achieve validation via their ability to arouse the sexual interest of men. This sort of behaviour is not just the fantasy of (some) males, but of (some) females too. Some people, whatever their gender, simply have very crude, even deluded, ideas about what constitutes a fun time. That's just one of many human facts that feminism, for all its manifest virtues, overlooked.FeminismWomenDeborah Orrguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Afghanistan: More talks more war
No international conference on Afghanistan would be complete without the leak of a memo to undermine it. The damage was done to today's conference in London by the publication of diplomatic cables from the US ambassador in Kabul. The star guest of today's conference, President Hamid Karzai, the man on whom too much of Washington's strategy rests, is, in Karl Eikenberry's words, an inadequate strategic partner who continues to shun responsibility for any sovereign burden. The cables were written in November and pre-date President Barack Obama's announcement of a surge. Since then, their author professed his unequivocal support for the mission before Congress. But that is not what his cables say. In arguing that more troops would only increase Afghan dependence and may delay the day when US troops can be withdrawn, they undermine the whole rationale of the surge. The leaking of the cables just before this conference goes beyond the realm of healthy debate. It can only attest to abiding divisions within the US administration itself.So another conference starts – this is at least the sixth in nine years – with private doubts about strategy being expressed by the very people whose job is to promote it. As we all knew he would and despite speeches to the contrary, Mr Karzai has doggedly resisted attempts to reform his graft-riddled government. He comes to London with only half a cabinet in place, but having reaffirmed the appointment of General Abdul Rashid Dostum as his chief of staff, a man accused of serious human rights abuses. Zarar Ahmad Moqbel, the man who oversaw the most corrupt organisation in the government, the interior ministry, has gone up in the world. He is now in charge of combating the opium industry, the world's largest. It may be truer to say that he is no アフガニスタンではありません国際会議メモのリークが発生せずに損なうことが完了するだろう
