bur

Dressed from head to toe in a traditional Muslim woman’s burkha, pictured above is the moment a robber raided a travel agent. Brandishing a knife, he threatens the two women staff before making off with an undisclosed amount of cash. The robbery in Luton, UK came just 6 weeks after a similar incident in nearby Dunstable and, this week, a £150,000 raid on a jeweller’s in Banbury, Oxfordshire. Police are investigating the possibility the crimes are linked. I wonder what inspirational Sherlock Holmes type detective genius came to that earth-shattering conclusion ?

trouble

In the UK the National Health Service (NHS) has set up a “stress-busting” phone line for people worried about money during the credit crunch (example above). Health workers will take calls from people who are depressed by fruitless job hunting, anxious about losing work or stressed about bills they can’t pay. The service is designed to give mental health advice as well as practical help and information about debt, housing and employment. Instead of spending money this way, the government might do better to force the people causing the stress, the greedy bankers, to relieve it by lending again at reasonable rates to businesses and individuals instead of withdrawing overdrafts, repossessing homes, closing down businesses and profiteering at a time where everyone is at their most vulnerable.

An Iranian MP claimed yesterday that there is proof that some reformists were sexually abused in prison after the disputed presidential election in June. “Raping of some detainees through baton and soda bottle has been proved to us,” the unnamed member of the investigative committee was quoted as saying. His comments are the first official acknowledgment that prisoners were violated. Until now, Iran’s leaders had dismissed such opposition claims as mischief-making. But in response yesterday, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (pictured above), rebuked opposition leaders for calling attention to alleged abuses of detainees. The Ayatollah criticised them for highlighting claims of mistreatment in Kahrizak prison, one of the main sites where protesters are being detained. “Some ignore defacing of the system while highlighting the issue of Kahrizak,” he was quoted as saying by the state Islamic Republic News Agency. “This way of thinking is an open unfairness.” Hey, with a relaxed attitude like that to alleged sexual abuse, if he was ever considering converting to Roman Catholicism he’d doubtless be welcomed with open arms and a senior position in the Hierarchy. Mind you, with a German in charge at the Vatican there would only be room for one Supreme Leader. Ein Congregation – Ein Church – Ein Fuhrer.

COMPASSIONATE BEST WISHES – NOW PLEASE DIE SOON


crash

The fury over the release of the convicted terrorist guilty of the Lockerbie atrocity (above) intensified yesterday over the medical advice given to the Scottish government on how long he has to live. It emerged that the prognosis that Abdel Baset Ali al-Megrahi had a life expectancy of only 3 months or less was supported by an unnamed doctor who reportedly has “no expertise” in the treating of terminal prostate cancer. The final report on Megrahi’s condition which went to Scottish Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill was drawn up by Dr Andrew Fraser, director of health and care with the Scottish Prison Service.

The 3 month time limit is important because Scottish Prison Service guidance says that compassionate release from prison “may be considered where a prisoner is suffering from a terminal illness and death is likely to occur soon. There are no fixed time limits but life expectancy of less than 3 months may be considered an appropriate period.” Apparently there’s nothing in the Scottish Prison Service guidance about grubby oil and trade deals so officials were able to make up their own minds regarding a recommendation for early release. What is supremely ironic about this whole farce is that the politicians who wanted to appear so compassionate must now be praying that this bloke dies quickly.

WHO: A flow of the virus has become the most common virus

At 16:58 on August 29, 2009

(Geneva, 29 AP) World Health Organization said that influenza A virus has become the most common influenza viruses. WHO said in a statement: "in most parts of cases showed that influenza A virus is spreading fast, in most parts of the world is already the most common influenza viruses."

The second wave of epidemic alert

World Health Organization today to remind the northern hemisphere, the second wave of pandemic influenza alert, even if the current A mostly mild flu-like symptoms, but if large numbers of people infected, will continue to cause significant impact on the health care system.

WHO, the epidemic in today's briefing, said, through its network of laboratories around the world to closely monitor the results throughout the influenza A virus outbreak is still the same, did not find mutation into a more toxic or more lethal form. Countries in line with the clinical situation, the vast majority of patients with mild symptoms, only a small number of very serious or fatal cases.

However, the WHO pointed out that even if the majority of mild conditions the same, but if large numbers of people infected with the second wave of epidemic, the increase in critically ill patients require intensive care, it is likely to be the most urgent health care system, the burden of making Canada protection is inadequate, even taking care exclusion of other diseases.

Obama to deliver eulogy at Kennedy funeral

By Svea Herbst-Bayliss

BOSTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will eulogize Senator Edward Kennedy on Saturday, the final day of memorials for a towering figure in U.S. politics whose death has been treated like the passing of royalty.

Since he died late on Tuesday of brain cancer, Americans have staged a series of tributes to the last of the Kennedy brothers, who played a key role in major social and political changes in the United States in the last half century.

Kennedy will be taken to Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington on Saturday evening to be buried close to his brothers, former President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert Kennedy, who were both assassinated in the 1960s.

Edward Kennedy's early career was overshadowed by the lives and deaths of John and Robert but he went on to serve nearly 47 years in the senate, where he became a champion of liberals and was both reviled and respected by conservatives.

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma will play and opera star Placido Domingo will sing at the funeral at a Roman Catholic basilica in a working class section of Boston.

Kennedy, who was 77, chose Our Lady of Perpetual Help Basilica because it was where he prayed daily while his daughter Kara -- now 49 -- was at nearby hospital battling lung cancer in 2003.

Many members of Congress and other leading U.S. political figures, including former presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, are expected to attend the service.

After the funeral, Kennedy's coffin will be flown to Washington and taken by motorcade through the capital to Arlington.

On Friday, dignitaries from both sides of the political aisle attended an invitation-only memorial service at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum after a public viewing that drew more than 30,000 mourners -- so many that security had to turn people away.

Kennedy's flag-draped coffin was displayed before picture windows showing sweeping views of Boston Harbor and the Boston skyline, and the memorial was punctuated by teary remembrances, funny anecdotes and song.

Friday, August 28, 2009

Last week, Google was forced to reveal the electronic identity of an anonymous blogger who had defamed an international cover girl online. While cyber victims welcome the move, some Internet users are outraged at the invasion of online privacy.

UNTIL recently, few people had heard of Liskula Cohen even though she has appeared on past covers of European Vogue and Elle.

Port: She and Cohen had met a few times.

Last week, the blonde Canadian-born model made the headlines in the US media and became a household name on the Internet and in the fashion world when she won a court case to compel Google to reveal the IP and e-mail addresses of an anonymous blogger who called her a “skank”.

Google initially refused to unmask the blogger, whom Cohen, 37, claimed defamed her by posting words like “skanky”, “ho”, and “whoring” beneath unflattering photographs of her. (The Urban Dictionary describes skank as a derogatory term implying trashiness or tackiness, lower-class status or promiscuity).

On Aug 18, a Manhattan Supreme Court judge ruled that a blogger cannot hide behind a web of anonymity while flinging ugly words at somebody online. Google did not appeal and proceded to hand over the electronic identity of the anonymous blogger.

In a statement, the company said: “We sympathise with anyone who may be the victim of cyber-bullying. We also take great care to respect privacy concerns and will only provide information about a user in response to a subpoena or other court order.”

It did not divulge the blogger’s name, though, saying it did not have it.

The electronic identity was good enough for Cohen to conduct her own investigation. Within a day, the anonymous skank-blogger had been unmasked: she turned out to be a brunette beauty from Florida, Rosemary Port, whom Cohen knew for three years and had met socially a few times.

Cohen is now entitled to file a defamation suit against her “frenemy”. She initially wanted to sue Port for US$3mil (RM10.6mil) but decided to be magnanimous and changed her mind.

The story goes that Port, a 29-year-old former nightclub hostess, was hurt and angry when Cohen allegedly gossiped about Port to her boyfriend.

In August last year, Port set up “Skanks in New York” on Google’s Blogger.com which she used to blast the former cover girl. Cohen was the only person featured on the website.

The blogsite was ordered by the court to be taken down in March this year after Cohen sued Google and the then anonymous blogger in January demanding to know the site creator’s identity.

While some quarters have dismissed the feud between the two women as a petty catfight that had wasted precious court time, there is concern the case has far reaching implications on bloggers who wish to remain anonymous.

Blogger Stan Schroeder believes the court decision would make people think twice about posting offensive posts and comments about someone, as they would no longer be protected by a shroud of anonymity.

“On the other hand, it might trigger a flood of similar lawsuits, perhaps for trivial reasons, which can in turn have serious implications on everyone’s online privacy,” he opined.

Michael Roberts, who calls himself an Internet Libel Survivor, is all for the victim seeking justice.

“The point is that defamation hurts the subject of a libel. Most of the population believe that these types of issues are petty and shouldn’t be clogging up the justice system,” said Roberts, an e-libel victim’s advocate.

“With all due respect to those who flippantly dismiss Internet libel as a petty issue, until you have personally experienced the 24/7 harassment and persistence presence of horrible things being said about you for all the world to see, you simply will not be able to relate to how debilitating and painful it can be.”

The Committee to Protect Bloggers however criticised the “skank” ruling, saying it would open the doors for countless others, including political and business interests out to silence legitimate critics through the threat of expensive legal challenges.

“The result highlights what bloggers need to pay more attention to: the law, how it applies to them and what they plan to do with their online writing,” the committee said in its blog.

“Those who will be putting their names to their writing would do well to peruse the links on this website regarding blogger’s rights, free speech, libel and copyright.”

CNBC.com managing editor Allen Wastler felt the interesting court decision had some potential to change the blogosphere.

He admitted that he got a “little riled” when mainstream media – in comparison to blogs – got tagged for not being tough or hard on certain people or subjects.

“Hey, I could be the roughest, toughest bully Corporate America has ever seen ... if I could be anonymous and not worry about threatening calls from lawyers,” he wrote.

“But when you work for a newspaper, a TV network, or an established Net news site, you have to follow the journalistic rules: you back things up, with your identity and your reporting ... or you get sued.

“Now some bloggers, anonymous and otherwise, may get a taste of that legal repercussion.”

Cohen’s lawyer, Steven Wagner, said he hoped the decision would send a message to bloggers, Twitterers, and whoever else using the anonymity of the Internet for “cowardly defamation”.

“The rules for defamation for actual reality as well as virtual reality are the same,” Wagner said. “The Internet is not a free-for-all.”

When asked why she persisted with the case, Cohen, interviewed by Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, snapped: “Why should anybody let it go? If somebody attacks somebody on the street, you’re not going to let it go … why should I just ignore it? I couldn’t find one reason to ignore it.”

In another interview with a New York tabloid last week, Cohen shared: “I’m a human being. I bleed. I have feelings. When I saw that blog ... it was awful.”

Port meanwhile is crying foul over the revelation of her identity. “I’m shocked that my right to privacy has been tampered with,” she said in a statement.

Her lawyer Sal Strazzullo said his client did not regret the blog but regretted the court’s decision that her identity be revealed.

If Google had thought the matter would rest after the Cohen suit, they couldn’t be more wrong. Port’s lawyer has indicated they plan to sue Google.

Woman caught on video hitting boyfriend’s private parts

OTHER NEWS & VIEWS
Compiled by FLORENCE A. SAMY, TAN SIN CHOW AND A. RAMAN


A WOMAN, believed to be in her 20s, was caught on video hitting the private parts of her boyfriend with her high-heel shoe, reported Sin Chew Daily.

The “brutal” act was recorded by a passer-by who subsequently uploaded the 31-second clip onto the Internet.

The act was captured at a parking bay in Singapore.

The video clip showed the woman reprimanding her boyfriend with the shoe in one hand. She was also seen slapping him with her high-heel shoe at least four times and subsequently repeatedly attacked him on his private parts with the shoe.

The man tried to ward off the blows with his hands but she continued to attack him by slapping him in the face with the shoe.

> China Press reported that the father of Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau was seen beaming with pride when asked about Lau’s disclosure of his relationship with former beauty queen Carol Chu.

The daily reported that although Lau’s father, in his 80s, had waved his hand indicating that he refused questions from reporters, the joy was clearly written on his face at being asked the question.

He was seen going out from Lau’s house with his wife for a morning walk and breakfast, before being approached by reporters.

When asked whether Lau would wed Chu within 100 days, he just smiled and did not answer.

Earlier, Lau was seen holding hands with his long-term companion Chu at airports in Malaysia and Hong Kong, a move which indicated that both of them were in a relationship, the paper said.

Dutchman defies court order


KUALA LUMPUR: A Dutch computer programmer challenged the sovereignty of the rule of law when he failed to follow a court order to bring his six-year-old Malaysian son to the court, says Umno Youth’s community complaints bureau.

Bureau chairman Datuk Muhd Khairun Aseh said Firdaus @ Frank Theodorus van de Ven, 40, insulted the order issued by the Shah Alam Syariah Court on March 25 to produce Ferris Mokhtar van de Ven, whom he allegedly whisked away six months ago.

Whereabouts unknown: A poster showing Ferris Mokhtar whom his father allegedly whisked away six months ago.

“We will be handing over a letter to the Dutch embassy next week to inform them of Frank’s disobedience of the court order,” he told a press conference at the bureau’s office in Solaris Dutamas here yesterday.

“We urge those involved to follow what is required of the law so that diplomatic relations between Malaysia and the Netherlands will be preserved,” said Muhd Khairun.

He also hoped that the rights of Ferris Mokhtar’s Malaysian mother Elis Syuhaila Mokhtar would be upheld.

Muhd Khairun said the bureau had started to search for van de Ven by working together with the Foreign Ministry and foreign consulates to refer the matter to the Malaysian embassy in the Netherlands.

“We have also requested the Immigration Department to supply us with the latest re- cords regarding Frank’s movements in and out of the country,” he said.

On March 25, the court issued an arrest warrant against van de Ven and asked for help from Interpol and other relevant authorities to arrest and stop him from leaving Malaysia.

Distraught mum: Elis Syuhaila holding back her tears as she speaks to the press yesterday. With her is Muhd Khairun.

Elis Syuhaila, who was also present, wept as she told reporters that it was her dearest wish to see Ferris before Hari Raya.

The 34-year-old temporary teacher said she had sent numerous e-mails to her parents-in-law to ask of the whereabouts of her son but did not receive any reply.

The couple, currently seeking a divorce, were married on Dec 23, 2001 and lived in Belgium until Elis Syuhaila returned to Malaysia two years ago.

They filed for divorce in January last year and took turns every week to look after Ferris until March 5 when van de Ven failed to return him.

Elis Syuhaila also claimed her husband tried to attack her on two occasions.

The first time was when he broke her house gate on Feb 15 last year, she said.

“The second incident was on Dec 12 last year when I was about to take a picture of Ferris at a hotel. He tried to strangle me, and attacked me with pepper spray in public,” she added.

Khamenei says protests planned before vote

TEHERAN (Aug 27, 2009): Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday he did not believe the leaders of opposition protests that erupted after the country’s June presidential vote were agents of foreigners.

Iranian officials have previously portrayed the protests as a foreign-backed bid to topple the clerical establishment. They have accused Western powers, particularly the United States and Britain of fomenting the unrest, a charge denied by Washington and London.

"I do not accuse the leaders of recent events as being the agents of foreigners, including America and Britain because it has not been proven to me," Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was quoted as saying by state television.

"But there is no doubt that this movement, whether its leaders know or not, was planned in advance," Khamenei said in a meeting with university students.

Some hardliners have repeatedly called for the arrest of opposition leaders who say the vote was rigged to secure the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Former President Mohammad Khatami said trial confessions by moderates accused of fomenting the post-election unrest were made under "extraordinary conditions" and were invalid, an Iranian news agency reported.

At Tuesday’s trial, the fourth since the June polls, senior reformer and Khatami ally Saeed Hajjarian was reported as saying he had "made major mistakes during the election by presenting incorrect analyses".

"I apologise to the Iranian nation for those mistakes."

A prosecutor demanded maximum punishment for Hajjarian who is accused of acting against national security, a crime which can carry the death sentence.

"These confessions are invalid and have been obtained under extraordinary conditions ... such claims are sheer lies and false," Khatami, who backed the main moderate candidate in the election, was quoted as saying by the Ilna news agency. Also in the dock on Tuesday were several other moderate figures, including former Deputy Interior Minister Mostafa Tajzadeh and former Deputy Foreign Minister Mohsen Aminzadeh – both of whom held their positions under Khatami.

All were charged with fomenting huge street protests that followed the June presidential election that returned Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. – Reuters

Myanmar fighting forces 10,000 to flee to China

BEIJING (Aug 28, 2009):
Fresh fighting has erupted between Myanmar government forces and an armed ethnic group in the remote northeast, unleashing an exodus of 10,000 residents into neighbouring China, state media said on Friday.

Thousands of people crossed the border this month from Kokang in Myanmar's Shan State after clashes there, which a U.S.-based rights group said followed the deployment of troops in the area, home to a large number of ethnic Chinese.

A news website run by Yunnan (www.yunnan.cn), the Chinese province bordering Myanmar, said fighting flared again on Thursday afternoon, "leading residents from the Myanmar side to panic and flood in large numbers into our territory".

The Yunnan news website said that by Friday morning a total of about 10,000 people had fled into China. They were kept at 7 collection points where they received food and medical care, the report said.

The trouble on the frontier may raise tensions between China and Myanmar, where the military junta looks to Beijing as one of its few diplomatic backers and a crucial source of investment. (For more on their relationship see:)

Kokang, where the trouble erupted, is home to many ethnic Chinese and Chinese nationals, many of whom run businesses and trade across the border.

He Shengda, an expert on the region at the Yunnan Academy of Social Sciences, said the Myanmar government's efforts to impose control on the region risked sparking wider conflict.

"It would be no easy thing for the Myanmar government to rein in local power," He told the Global Times, a Chinese newspaper. "These local militia won't meekly abandon power, and a region that was peaceful may experience turmoil."

Late on Thursday, the Xinhua news agency said the refugee influx continued, citing officials in Yunnan. A Yunnan official told the Global Times, the Chinese newspaper, that most were Myanmar nationals.

TROOP MOBILISATION

The Global Times said the government has ordered stronger security along the border to prevent the conflict spilling into Yunnan.

The Washington-based U.S. Campaign for Burma has said tensions first flared on Aug. 8 when the Myanmar army deployed hundreds of troops in Kokang, a mostly ethnic Chinese region where rebels have observed a two-decade-old ceasefire with the government. Burma is the former name of Myanmar.

The U.S. group said the mobilisation of troops was a move by the junta to force ethnic groups to form political parties to contest next year's election, the first in Myanmar in 20 years.

Many ethnic groups feel they have nothing to gain from running in the polls and suspect the junta is trying to shackle them, bringing rebel fighters into the army under the command of the Yangon regime.

The Myanmar Peace and Democracy Front (MPDF), an alliance of four ethnic groups, and Chinese media reports have said troops had attacked a factory used by the ethnic groups to repair weapons on suspicion it was being used to produce illicit drugs.

"These special regions have become a timebomb for Myanmar," He, the Chinese expert, told the Global Times. -- Reuters

* First member of royal family to be targeted by al Qaeda

RIYADH (Aug 28, 2009): A senior member of Saudi Arabia's royal family who is in charge of the kingdom's anti-terrorist campaign has survived a suicide attack by an al Qaeda-linked group.

State news agency SPA said Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, deputy interior minister in charge of security and son of the man thought likely to be the next crown prince, was meeting well-wishers on Thursday when a man blew himself up with explosives.

The attack was the first to directly target a member of the royal family since the start of a wave of violence by al Qaeda sympathisers in 2003 against the U.S.-allied monarchy.

As security chief for the kingdom, Prince Mohammed has been credited with the government's recent success in crushing the violence, which included training by Western security forces and rehabilitation of ex-militants.

The suicide bomber was a wanted militant who had insisted on meeting the prince to announce he was giving himself up to authorities, SPA said. Royals in Saudi Arabia are obliged to receive visitors during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

SPA said the bomber, whom it did not name, was the only casualty. The attack took place in Prince Mohammed's private office in the Red Sea port of Jeddah.

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the Saudi arm of the group, claimed responsibility for the attack, according to a message posted on Islamist internet forums and translated by SITE Intelligence Group.

Saudi-owned al Arabiya television showed Prince Mohammed, apparently slightly injured, meeting King Abdullah later.

"This will only increase our determination to eradicate this (militancy)," said Prince Mohammed, who is the son of Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz, recently named second deputy crown prince.

Earlier this month, Saudi authorities announced the arrest of 44 militants close to al Qaeda and the seizure of explosives, detonators and firearms.

In 2004, militants rammed a vehicle laden with explosives into the entrance of the Interior Ministry headquarters in the capital Riyadh. -- Reuters

Kidnapped California girl found 18 years later

* Kidnapper fathered two children with victim, police say
* Victim, children kept in hidden sheds, tents behind home
* Held 160 km from where she was abducted

SAN FRANCISCO (Aug 27, 2009): A California girl who was kidnapped at the age of 11 in 1991 has been found alive, having spent 18 years living in sheds and tents behind the home of her accused abductor, a convicted rapist who fathered two children with her, police said on Thursday.

Jaycee Dugard had been missing since she was snatched off a street by two people in a gray sedan while walking to a bus stop near her home in South Lake Tahoe, east of San Francisco, on June 10, 1991.

Dugard, now 29, was found after a parole officer for her accused kidnapper became suspicious, leading to a search of his home near the town of Antioch, about 160 km southwest of where she was abducted.

Police say the search turned up a hidden "backyard within a backyard" at the home of registered sex offender and convicted rapist Phillip Craig Garrido, where Dugard and the two children were confined in a series of sheds and tents.

"She was in good health but living in a backyard for 18 years must take its toll," El Dorado County Undersheriff Fred Kollar told a news conference.

Carl Probyn, Dugard's stepfather, said on television he and her mother "cried for about 10 minutes" after they were told by authorities that she had been found alive.

BREAK IN CASE CAME TUESDAY

Garrido, 58, and his wife Nancy Garrido, 54, were arrested over Dugard's abduction and prosecutors said they were likely to be charged on Friday.

Authorities said Garrido was suspected of fathering two children with Dugard, girls now aged 11 and 15.

"None of the children had ever been to school, none had been to a doctor. They were kept in complete isolation in this compound," Kollar said.

While the case of Dugard's abduction had remained open for the past 18 years, police had never found a trace of the missing girl or the gray sedan until Tuesday, when Garrido tried to enter the University of California, Berkeley campus with the two girls to pass out religious leaflets.

A campus police officer found his interaction with the girls suspicious and investigated his background, ultimately alerting his parole officer.

During a visit with the parole officer, Garrido brought his wife, the two girls and a woman identified as "Allissa" -- who proved to be Dugard.

Authorities said Garrido had served time in a Nevada prison for a 1971 kidnapping and rape conviction.

The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper reported Garrido was described as strange by his neighbors, who said he conducted religious revivals in a tent and claimed to have invented a device to control sound with his mind.

Asked by reporters why the parole officer, who had visited Garrido's home, had never found Dugard or the secret backyard compound, authorities said it was well hidden behind a fence, vegetation and a tarpaulin. -- Reuters

roll

The soft toilet rolls (pictured above) demanded by Americans are reportedly causing more environmental devastation than the country’s love of gas-guzzling cars or fast food, according to green campaigners. “This is a product that we use for less than three seconds and the ecological consequences of manufacturing it from trees is enormous,” said Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defence Council. “Future generations are going to look at the way we make toilet paper as one of the greatest excesses of our age. Making toilet paper from virgin wood is a lot worse than driving Hummers in terms of global warming pollution.” Making toilet paper has a significant impact because of chemicals used in pulp manufacture and cutting down forests. A campaign by Greenpeace seeks to raise consciousness among Americans about the environmental costs of their toilet habits and counter an aggressive new push by the paper industry giants to market so-called luxury brands. More than 98% of the toilet roll sold in America comes from virgin forests, said Hershkowitz. In contrast, in Europe and Latin America, up to 40% of toilet paper comes from recycled sources. Maybe Greenpeace can relax – the way all our economies are going everyone will be using old newspaper before long.

google-wave

It was announced yesterday that Google Wave (above), a new service enabling users to exchange messages, images, songs and videos in real time, will be released to 100,000 hand-picked Google enthusiasts in September. Technology correspondents are gearing up for months of speculation at the impact of yet another bold announcement from the Californian company. In this era of Twitter and Facebook, with hundreds of millions of internet users hooked on letting the world know what they’re up to, it’s Google’s belief that there’s room in the market for yet another service. I wish I understood how to use any of them !

tamiflu

And while we’re on about healthcare dangers. In the UK doctors have been put on alert over fears that the drug Tamiflu (above) can put some people at greater risk of suffering a stroke. A Government watchdog is concerned that the anti-swine flu drug can interact with the blood-thinning medication Warfarin, which is taken by more than 600,000 people in Britain. The combination can dangerously thin the blood, putting patients at risk of uncontrolled bleeding which can lead to a stroke. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has already received reports of such cases and has asked health professionals to watch out for more. So they’ve just realised there’s a problem ? Really makes you confident about the safety of the new swine flu vaccine they’re launching, doesn’t it ?


swineflu

There have been an estimated 100,000 new cases of swine flu (above) reported in England since last week and 840 patients are in hospital with the virus, 63 of them in intensive care, the Department of Health said yesterday. This means the number of people consulting their doctor because they think they have swine flu has almost doubled in one week, up from 55,000. Which just goes to show how effective a load of alarmist bullshit spread by the government, eager to be seen to be “doing something” – or at least seen to be talking about doing something, can be.


mask1

The World Health Organisation (WHO) emergency committee has raised the pandemic threat level for swine flu from phase 3 to phase 4 after the death toll at its epicentre in Mexico, where masks now appear mandatory (above) surged to nearly 150, the number of cases in the US doubled and the first infections were confirmed in Britain. The WHO committee raised the threat level as the spread of the disease across the globe put the virus beyond containment measures – requiring the mass production of vaccines and urgent support for health systems in countries that face being overwhelmed if the infection rate continues to rise. Dr Keiji Fukuda, of the WHO, confirmed the decision to raise the level, but added that a pandemic was not inevitable. He urged countries to strenghten their preparations for flu, but said that the WHO did not recommend closing national borders or restricting travel. But apparently many people need not panic – only yesterday I heard a bloke in the pub seriously trying to convince his fellow drinkers that Jews and Muslims were immune from swine flu. With medical and religious knowledge like that, he may well be the next New Labour Secretary of State for Health.

Sudan's Darfur no longer at war: peacekeeping chief

By Andrew Heavens

KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan's Darfur region is no longer in a state of war and only has one rebel group capable of mounting limited military campaigns, the head of the area's peacekeeping force said as he ended his tour of duty.

The commander of the joint U.N./African Union UNAMID force, Martin Luther Agwai, told reporters the conflict had now descended into banditry and "very low intensity" engagements, that could still carry on to blight the remote western region for years without a peace deal.

"As of today, I would not say there is a war going on in Darfur," he said in a briefing in Khartoum late on Wednesday.

"Militarily there is not much. What you have is security issues more now. Banditry, localised issues, people trying to resolve issues over water and land at a local level. But real war as such, I think we are over that."

The six-year Darfur conflict has pitted pro-government militias and troops against mostly non-Arab rebels, who took up arms in 2003, demanding better representation and accusing Khartoum of neglecting the development of the region.

Estimates of the death count in Darfur range from 10,000 according to Khartoum, to 300,000 according to the United Nations. Aid workers say more than 2.7 million people have been driven from their homes by the fighting.

Agwai became the latest senior figure to appear to play down the current level of violence in Darfur where the conflict has caught the world's attention and mobilised activists who have accused Khartoum of genocide.

Mostly Western campaigners and some diplomats were angered by comments from UNAMID's political leader Rodolphe Adada in April that Darfur had subsided into a "low-intensity conflict," and from U.S. Sudan envoy Scott Gration in June that he had seen the "remnants of genocide" in the region, stopping short, they said, of describing a current genocide.

Agwai said the fierce fighting of the early years of the conflict had subsided as rebel groups split into rival factions.

"Because of the fragmentation of the rebel groups, I do not see any major thing that can take place.

"Apart from JEM, I do not see any other group that can launch an attack on the ground," he said referring to the Justice and Equality Movement, a rebel force that launched an unprecedented attack on Khartoum last year.

Agwai said JEM still had the capability to launch sporadic attacks, but did not have the manpower to hold territory.

"JEM has the capacity of sneaking in small groups, of attacking and after a while withdrawing.

"But fighting to secure ground and dominate it and move on and say 'this is our territory' ... that is finished." Agwai said there was still a chance full blown fighting could break out again. "I would never say never."

JEM has clashed a number of times with the Sudanese army in recent months, in the strategic south Darfur town of Muhajiriya in January and in Umm Baru and other settlements close to north Darfur's border with Chad in May.

In both cases JEM said it decided to withdraw voluntarily to protect locals from government air attacks.

Agwai, who is due to leave Sudan on Thursday after two years' at the head of the peacekeeping force, has been outspoken about delays in manning and equipping UNAMID.

At the end of June, just over 60 percent of UNAMID's planned full strength of 26,000 troops and police had been deployed in Darfur, an area roughly the size of France. The U.N. hopes 90 percent will be on the ground by the end of the year.

New blog making claims and allegations on PKFZ issue


KUALA LUMPUR: More big names are being implicated and new allegations made concerning the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal in a newly-launched blog.

The blog www.truthabout-pkfz.blogspot.com was set up by a group describing themselves as “non-partisan Malaysians disgusted with the wrongdoings of corrupt businessmen, politicians and civil servants.”

Unnamed writers of the blog have made allegations regarding the issue, ranging from gangsterism involving a prominent businessman-politician to the purported involvement of several other politicians.

As of yesterday evening, it has posted a message from the group managing the blog and two articles, both dated Aug 24.

In one of the postings, it published a letter written by an anonymous person who claimed to be close to Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing.

In the letter, Tiong was described as a powerful person in Sarawak and as the “boss of Umno and MCA”.

The blog said those involved had links with Selangor bigshots and that Kuala Dimensi had bought the land cheaply from Koperasi Pembangunan Pulau Lumut Berhad (KPPL).

The report also claimed that Tan Sri Onn Ismail, who was then with KPPL, was the father-in-law of Kuala Dimensi deputy CEO Datuk Faisal Abdullah and that a part of the 202ha land of was bought for only RM3.1mil.

Kuala Dimensi eventually sold some 404ha of land to Port Klang Authority (PKA) for a whopping RM1.088bil.

There were also allegations of PKA staff being bullied by their superior and the hurried manner in which they were told to pursue matters relating to the purchase of the land even at a high price.

The writer of the blog posting who questioned the astronomical price paid for the land at RM25 psf said sarcastically that it took him two weeks to deliberate on all aspects before purchasing his car although it cost only RM45,000.

Other interesting revelations in the blog include the question of ownership of land at the time of sale in 2002 by Kuala Dimensi.

The writer claimed that Kuala Dimensi had on Nov 24, 1997, sold 305ha of the land to Great Profile Sdn Bhd and questioned how it was possible for the company to effect the land transaction with PKA if the land was not its.

The group managing the blog also appealed to those who could substantiate the allegations to forward their views.

On Aug 11, PKA lodged a police report against Kuala Dimensi, the turnkey contractor of PKFZ over alleged billing discrepancies ranging between RM500mil and RM1bil.

The discrepancies were uncovered by a special task force set up following the audit report on PKFZ by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

It discovered that Kuala Dimensi had possibly, among others, overclaimed and made fraudulent and unsubstantiated claims.

Taiwan, challenging China, to let Dalai Lama visit

By Ralph Jennings

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan, which turned away the Dalai Lama last year on fears of upsetting China, has approved a visit by the Tibetan spiritual leader next week to comfort victims of a deadly typhoon, the government said on Thursday.

Beijing brands the India-based Tibetan luminary as a separatist and condemns his trips abroad.

But while there has been no official comment yet from Beijing on the Taiwan visit, the Chinese government may be unlikely to retaliate with any steps that could choke off trade, investment, tourism and people-to-people exchanges.

Chinese public opinion is easily riled by shows of support for the Dalai Lama, but Beijing is also aware any strong moves could play into the hands of Taiwan opponents of President Ma Ying-jeou, who has sought to ease tensions with Beijing.

The president's office, under fire for perceptions his response to typhoon Morakot was too slow, and national security officials decided in a 5-hour meeting on Wednesday to permit a visit by the Dalai Lama from Aug. 31-Sept. 3, the Government Information Office said.

"We've ... decided to let the Dalai Lama visit as he is coming here to pray for the dead victims, as well as the survivors," Ma told reporters while visiting typhoon survivors.

"President Ma has done the right thing after a long, long time," said Khedroob Thondup, a Taipei-based member of the Tibetan parliament in exile. "If they refused His Holiness, there would have been a backlash."

EAGER TO VISIT

The Dalai Lama was always eager to visit Taiwan and is looking forward to the trip, his aide told Reuters from the Indian hill town of Dharamsala, headquarters of the Tibetan government-in-exile.

"The main purpose for the visit is to comfort the typhoon victims and offer prayers," Tenzin Taklha said on Thursday.

"Immediately after the typhoon (the Dalai Lama) sent a letter of condolence and expressed his sympathy and sorrow."

Taklha said he was hopeful the visit would occur soon, though he said no dates have been finalised. "His holiness has always felt very close to the Taiwanese people, so he is very keen."

Taiwan, home to a large exiled Tibetan community and millions of Buddhists, allowed visits by the Dalai Lama in 1997 and 2001.

But President Ma last year quashed hopes for a 2009 visit by the Tibetan spiritual leader, saying the timing was wrong as his government was working to improve relations with China. Taiwan Buddhist groups, who had suggested the visit, criticised the decision.

Since taking office in 2008, Ma's administration has avoided action that could anger Beijing as he pursues trade ties.

Invited this week by local governments in south Taiwan, where the Aug. 7-9 typhoon is feared to have killed nearly 700 people in mudslides, the Dalai Lama will comfort survivors, many of whom are homeless, the information office said.

NO HARM TO TIES

"The Dalai Lama will be in Taiwan for religious purposes, so we welcome that," Tony Wang, presidential office spokesman, told a news conference.

"I don't think his visit will harm cross-straits ties, which have improved since May 20 last year," he said, referring to the date when Ma took office.

China has claimed sovereignty over self-ruled Taiwan since 1949, when Mao Zedong's forces won the Chinese civil war and Chiang Kai-shek's KMT fled to Taiwan. Beijing has vowed to bring Taiwan under its rule, by force if necessary.

The 73-year-old Dalai Lama fled Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule in the region, occupied by People's Liberation Army troops in 1950.

The Dalai Lama's visit might irritate Beijing but blow over, said ruling Nationalist Party (KMT) Secretary-General Wu Den-yih.

"Beijing will be a little uncomfortable, but if they understand how severe the disaster is they will show some respect to Taiwan's people," Wu told Reuters.

Zhu Feng, professor of international security at Peking University, said: "I think that there won't be major damage from this visit, because trade and investment will continue. But it will damage channels of political communication for at least a while."

"Ma showed last year that he could withstand pressure to approve a visit, but now he'll be seen as playing politics with the mainland," said Zhu.
