TRADE: Sailors At Sea Over Violence
ROME, Nov 19 (IPS) - The oil tanker Sirius Star may be the largest ship
to have been hijacked so far, but piracy is far from rare. In all
251 such incidents worldwide have been reported this year to the
Piracy Reporting Centre (PRC) of the International Maritime
Bureau.
ECONOMY: Don't Bank On Them
BRUSSELS, Nov 18 (IPS) - Public confidence in Belgian banks has eroded
considerably over the past few months. A series of multi-billion
euro rescue plans, reports of lavish executive bonuses and
investigations into whether shareholders were misled about
solvency levels have fuelled fears that the savings of the
hard-pressed ordinary citizen are anything but safe.
GERMANY: Recreating the Experience of the Uprooted
BERLIN, Nov 18 (IPS) - The lighting is dim. The murmur of water can be
heard, the ship’s horn blows and the gangway unfolds. The long
journey of the German emigrant is about to begin.
MIGRATION-PORTUGAL: The Promised South
LISBON, Nov 15 (IPS) - The south-central region of Alentejo, one of
Portugal’s most impoverished areas, could turn into a haven for
some 30,000 immigrants and unemployed nationals.
DEVELOPMENT: Watch That Gender Space
LONDON, Nov 15 (IPS) - It is rather obvious that women are about half the
population; it's just as obvious that in underdeveloped
places they carry more than half their share of the burden. So
how much of development aid gets to women? The unfortunate answer
to that question is another question: who knows.
EU-RUSSIA: Arms Overshadow Talks
BRUSSELS, Nov 15 (IPS) - Brinkmanship over weapons overshadowed a summit
between the European Union and Russia held in the French city
Nice Nov. 14.
BALKANS: Organised Crime Knows No Boundaries
BELGRADE, Nov 14 (IPS) - Inter-ethnic hatred has remained alive among many
Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs through the years since the wars of
the disintegration of former Yugoslavia. But the
'brotherhood' imposed by communist rulers to keep
people together remains alive in organised crime that knows no
boundaries, or religious and ethnic divisions.
RIGHTS-EUROPE: New Fascism Hunts Roma
BRUSSELS, Nov 13 (IPS) - A political ideology based on the desire to
exterminate Roma gypsies is emerging in parts of Europe, a
Brussels conference has been told.
HEALTH: Europe Ignoring TB Research
BRUSSELS, Nov 13 (IPS) - Funding from the European Union's Brussels
headquarters for research into tuberculosis stands at about a
fifth of what it should be given the EU's enormous wealth, a
new study has found.
VENEZUELA-RUSSIA: Business Deals Consolidate Alliance
CARACAS, Nov 13 (IPS) - "Tovariches! Comrades! Today I feel I must say
to you: let us work to find gas and oil under these waters!"
said Alexander Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian firm
Gazprom, when drills on the Escorpión Vigilante marine platform
finally perforated the Venezuelan sea bed.
Q&A: When Europe Was Occupied, And It Resisted
RAMALLAH, West Bank, Nov 12 (IPS) - The assault on Chris Davies, Liberal Democrat party
spokesman for the environment for the north west of Britain and a
member of the European Union's parliamentary delegation to
the Palestinian Legislative Council, has delivered a firm
political message to the European parliament.
BULGARIA: Losing Billions to Corruption
BUCHAREST, Nov 11 (IPS) - Far from succeeding in pressuring Bulgaria to solve
its problems with high-level corruption and organised crime, the
European Union is forced to watch its aid money drain away into
the coffers of shady businessmen well connected with the
Bulgarian political class.
ECONOMY-SRI LANKA: 'War Budget' Ignores Int'l Criticism
COLOMBO, Nov 11 (IPS) - President Mahinda Rajapakse’s annual budget, that
increases spending on the armed forces, has drawn mixed
reactions. While supporters have welcomed it as a budget that
breaks away from dependency on foreign loans and grants,
opponents say it will exacerbate economic woes.
ABKHAZIA: Why This Is the Breakaway Republic
SOKHUMI, Abkhazia, Nov 10 (IPS) - The Russian city of Adler, at the southern edge of
the country on the Black sea coast, is the only gateway that has
kept Abkhazia connected to the rest of the world during 16 years
of isolation since the Abkhazian-Georgian war of 1992.
ECONOMY: Turning the Pages Back to Marx and Keynes
BERLIN, Nov 7 (IPS) - Among the few things whose sales are picking up in
these recessionary times are the works of Karl Marx and John
Maynard Keynes. Both, in their own way, argue a central role for
the state in managing the economy.
