The canton of Bern in Switzerland held elections on Sunday and results indicate a definite SWING to the social democrats and greens, who won with a LANDSLIDE / AVALANCHE result and gained 3 of the 7 seats.
CONFUSION
The right wing Swiss People's Party were HARDEST HIT. They'd held out for a 4th seat but lost one!
DEAD HEAT
Centre right radical party hopefuls saw their weekend celebrations DASHED when they lost one seat to a greenie. ""For the government election, it was a case of voters wanting to punish the Right for trying to claim six out of seven seats," said Hanspeter Kriesi, head of the Center for Comparative and international Studies in Zurich & EXPERT.
Too arrogant

"The Right was seen as too arrogant. Even so, it was a surprise since Bern is traditionally conservative.".... "The Greens helped the Left " ..... ribbid gurggle ..... PHOTOFINISH Yes indeed for the People's party are very anti-European.

The Alma-Ata City authorities are determined to destroy the homes of settlers who have built poor but dignified living quarters on the outskirts of the city. Many of those who live in Shanyrak were driven out of their last homes by the collapse of industry in Kazakhstan, in the early and mid-nineties. With nowhere else to live, they moved to Shanyrak, and used old and second hand building materials to build modest homes in formerly uninhabited regions of the city. Now the Alma-Ata City authorities want the land, to build ‘entertainment complexes’ and elite flats for Kazakhstan’s ‘new rich’. read full story / add a comment

One of the world's best known investigative reporters, Seymour Hersch, is revealing in the next issue of The New Yorker magazine that Bush & co are actively planning a major air attack on Iran and that; one of the military’s initial option plans, as presented to the White House by the Pentagon this winter, calls for the use of a bunker-buster tactical nuclear weapon, such as the B61-11, against underground nuclear sites. One target is Iran’s main centrifuge plant, at Natanz, nearly two hundred miles south of Tehran.

Hello from Guatemala. I am forwarding the article written by Sandra, she contacted me recently during my stay in Guatemala. If any of you took part of the presentation of the book "Fumigation: the human and environmental costs of chemical warfare in Colombia" last October in Trinity the following article will make sense.
I have seen the mentioned plantations in San Marcos and i believe that the the propossal fumigations here is going to finish with the farmers livelihoods and other plantations.
