Maybe there's a million homeless, the dead will be in hundreds, the next storm is brewing in the carribean, the oil wells are closed, the crops of the mississippi valley are destroyed.

The public disquiet raised by the presence of arms in society might lay behind the media interest in Catalonia in an incident this last week which saw young recently recruited police officers fire 4 shots at 1.75m described as "warning shots fired in the air" in response to an incident involving persistent graffiti taggers. The incident occured at a public metro city during an annual street festival which figures on the August itinerary for many tourists including Irish men and women, boys and girls. read full story / add a comment

A series of demonstrations in the cities of Xanthi and Komotini, followed by a march towards the "refugees reception center" in Vena, took place in the frame of the "Actions Against the Borders". Outside the detention center, the protestors had a violent conflict with the police while trying to get in. Finally, a group entered the place and managed to write down the names of the refugees, in order to submit asylum requests on behalf of them, while video-taping the place and the awful living conditions. At the first day, during a demonstration across the Greek-Bulgarian borders, two vans were temporarily blocked on Bulgarian side. Finally, given the pressure by the demonstrators on the Greek side, they were allowed to cross the borders.

The Irish government is currently trying to deport women and children under the threat of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), which frequently results in death. Asylum in Ireland can be sought on grounds of religious or political persecution. However the government refuse to acknowlege FGM as a political act and therefore women and children cannot apply for asylum on the basis they have suffered or will suffer FGM if deported. read full story / add a comment

This is part of the text of an article that appeared in the Meath Chronicle on Tue, Jun 21st 2005 in an article by John O Donohoe. (In response to this attack I sent him this letter and a copy to both the Taoiseach and the new CEO of the NRA. Needless to say I have received no response from any of them. As the mainstream media failed to cover a press release on my reply I’m including it here after the article.) The Minister for the Environment and Local Government Dick Roche launched a stinging attack on opponents of the M3 route at a Fianna Fail business briefing in Athboy last week. On his first visit to the county since giving the go-ahead for the controversial archaeological excavations on the motorway route, which began last week, he condemned the untruths campaigners aired against the motorway and accused them of a lack of open-mindedness. read full story / add a comment

One stone hit the rotor blades and the pilot made an emergency landing just north of the All American Canal on the border between the U.S. and Mexico read full story / add a comment
