Talk:Stranded Russian minisub is trapped by 60 tonne anchor

I removed this from the story since no source was provided and it is not NPOV --Cspurrier 22:00, 6 August 2005 (UTC) In a heroic international effort, a San Diego US C-5a raced there with 40 specialists, two 4 ton 4x8x4ft Super Scorpio ROV's (remotely operated vehicle), a Deep Drone 8000 ROV, that can cut through one inch (3" one report said) of cable, and ultra deep diving suits; and the British Defense Ministry sent a six-man crew and a Scorpio 45 by RAF C-17 transport. Both planes landed by 5:00am EDT Sat morning (Petropavlovsk time is 16 hours later, GMT+12), - these guys can be saved if everything goes perfectly. A KNSD TV crew flying with the plane says because because they are transporting it by Russian ship 100miles, arrival time is 6 hours later; my best estimate presumed a 2 hour helicopter transfer to on site rescue ships, (life) saving 4 hours. Now they say the Brit ROV ship will reach it 4pm Sat- (8am Sun there), the est. 72nd hour of their ordeal (US ROV ship hasn't even left yet! -5pm EDT). Even next door Japanese are pointlessly sending a submersible by ship that won't arrive till Monday or later (via Australia?), though the sailor's air may run out sometime Saturday? They have bitter custody disputes with the Russians over the Kuril Is. just south. Times are EDT unless say "local".

One doesn't really run out of oxygen, one is poisoned by accumulating CO2, with accompanying panic (I've tested the effects of this with a bucket in a bathtub- it isn't pretty). If they have enough lithium or calcium hydroxide canisters, CO2 can be absorbed. In the Kursk, the Ruskies refused help till their boys were long dead (though a handfull only lasted 4-10 hours in the freezing dark half flooded compartment after the experimental supersonic torpedo blew the front of the boat off). This sub has been stuck since training on Thursday morning, while the Russians wasted time dragging lines to pull it into more shallow waters. Pressure at that depth is 19 times surface pressure, some 280 lbs per square inch, so opening external hatch would compress air to 1/19th the volume (if they operate at surface pressure).

Talk:Robin Cook dead after collapsing

The question here is: Did Robin Cook die of a natural cause ?

 * now that is a very good question. one would think "yes" as he was no longer,apparently, of any political importance...if,however,the answer is "no"; then that may raise the level of political gangsterism to the level of vendetta or indicate he had some inside information. I'm not knowledgeable about British politics so I have no opinion. I do have a feeling that your Dr. David Kelly was murdered(or shown a cellphone live feed to someone pointing a gun at his wife/kids while he was handed suicide instruments). I am also pretty sure that these 5 Americans were murdered by unknown assailants; the 3 Senators through use of this weapon [] which Bush Sr. has had access to for 20+years.;J.Kennedy,Sen.P.Wellstone,H.Thompson,Sen.J.Tower, and Sen.J.Heinz....but as far as Robin Cook is concerned; if they were willing and able to do Princess Di, then this guy was likely a "sure,why not". Paulrevere2005 22:29, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * So Paul, is it your opinion that Cook might've been killed in a cover-up and that David Kelly was killed in the same fashion? --Mrmiscellanious 22:44, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, one first needs to realize what we(U.S. Government) are capable of[].I don't really know enough about this to have a strong opinion except that the Kelly "suicide" seemed "off"..just didn't ring true..he had already gone through the tough part...and the July 7th. attacks look to me like a covert "mule" job by U.S. undercover ops (the dead bombers being the duped mules). If so, the way the gangsters work is to act fast and decisive and take care of all the loose ends at once. I don't think the British are in the loop on this but they certainly know how to make lemonade out of lemons just by copying what the U.S. did after 9/11 (Patriot Act).That's why the Blair team is now so hot to push thorugh the reactionary restrictions on civil rights. Strike while the iron is hot. If there was evidence that Cook had some some damaging inside info then it would make sense that he was slipped a pill...but I just think,as I said at the beginning, regarding the cause of death; "that is a very good question".

Talk:America's atomic bombing commemoration held in Hiroshima

WTF, can we also have an article that reminds us when WW2 ended?

http://www.political-news.org/breaking/14285/kofi-annan-urges-action-against-cascade-of-nuclear-proliferation.html

Headline;` POVed hence it should be chanced
I feel accusation and hostile in this headline. I can't figure why the word "still" appears here. It is obviously impossible to forget because genetic damages of survivers are transferred to the next generations and there are many Hibaku-nisei or sansei whose risks to certain disease including cancer are very high. Moreover, it is inappropriate because apparently memorial will be held in the next year again, and again. Not only in Hiroshima in many cities in Japan commemoration celemonies including some performance of activities like die-in was held. I say as a Japanese this headline and article seems strongly POVed - no substantial mention to celemony to commemorate the victims in Hiroshima. --Aphaia 08:43, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmm... Aphaia's right - that's like saying "World War II still remembered" - any ideas on a title change? Datrio 08:45, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your nod; now we have a different problem - specification. I think it would be better to include the fact this was the 60th anniversary. Any ideas? Later I will be able to add details of celemony in Hiroshima, if possible & appropriate from ja article. (because of different of accent between two articles, it is still somehow problematic to link them to each other).  --Aphaia 13:29, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Late
Pity this wasn't posted on the same say, not the day after :-(. Dan100 (Talk) 10:42, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, you're right Dan. Western media,including ourselves,have such a short memory about things that don't impact us. It's a wonder there's a story about the Hiroshima holocaust at all....I just happened to notice it in the Canadian paper. Paulrevere2005 22:01, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

 * You can still prepare another article for Nagasaki commemoration (August 9, nearly at noon +0900). --Aphaia 09:38, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I responded on Aphia's talk page. Paulrevere2005 16:49, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Why we were at war and are at war
For those who believe in coincidence theory and practice fact denial, it will mean nothing that Stimson and Harrison were both in the same cult that is referred to below;

Here is some non-disputed info showing that the primary engineers of WW2, Vietnam, and both Iraq wars all belong(ed) to one little cult (please see the membership list near the bottom of the "external links" in the wikipedia article[]).. and a thorough examination of the cult shows that its members believe that the public are "barbarians" of varying worth and it is their(cult members) right and duty to exploit,control and kill us to increase their own power,riches and ,most importantly, control.

 * A; WW2... This Guardian article[] only mentions 4 names as being part of the Hitler support team(Bush,Harriman,Walker(yep;that's where the "W" comes from) and Woolley); All 4 are on the membership list.

 * B; Vietnam... This Association of Former Intelligence Officers site[] references Averell Harriman and William and McGeorge Bundy as the engineers of the Vietnam war. All 3 are on the list.

 * C; WW3 (one we're beginning now); These sites show how the Bush father and son (both on the list) relay team planted the seeds, added the fertilizer and are now reaping the harvest of this one[][][]

The advantage these war engineers have is that us "barbarians"(as they refer to us all) simply can not imagine the level of evil within their hearts; so we simply ignore (or accept) unacceptable facts (there were no WMD's in Iraq type of facts). Paulrevere2005 12:34, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

No one mentions
Seem to me that every one forgets the appalling cost in human lives that the Japanese Imperial Army inflicted upon the peoples of Asia.

It is sad that the Japanese were lead by the nose to the brink of destruction by a few power expantionists and fanatical zelots, it is true that it was a barbaric act to inflict the Japanese peoples with the destruction by two Atom Weapons but that does not remove the blame for the barbaric cruelty that the Japanese Imperial Army inflicted upon the Asian population.

Even today in Japanese Schools the truth is with-held and until the majority of the Japanese Public are made aware of the sins of their fathers they should not be allowed to feel that they are the victims, their fathers actions remains the root cause regardless of whether you or I feel that the use of Atomic weapons was justified.

Truth is the only Justification and the truth is being with-held.

Richnbear.

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere.

Russian submarine story
Hi,

Nobody owns articles here, so I can't claim any article that I contributed to as my own. As far as what you have written:
 * On your blog, there is still no actual copyright info, but the Google copyright. If you take responsibility for it, then I guess it's ok to paste it here.
 * That article can exist on it's own (something like: an analysis of ....).
 * "Your" article is still very sensationalistic and needs a lot of editing before it can be published. --Dčabrilo 10:10, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

SUB STORY
WHERE is article? I added copyright, but I wrote 80-90% of it here, then copied it to blog. It's as sensational a story as exists- and this is news, not encyclopedia.

Russian submarine rescued by Royal Navy

August 7, 2005 A Russian submarine trapped during a training exercise in Berezov Bay, 75 km south of Petropavlovsk in Kamchatka, has been rescued after it was cut free by a  (ROV). The crew of seven officers and midshipmen, who spent three days in temperatures around 6oC and were running out of oxygen supplies, were unharmed.

The submarine appeared on the surface at 4:15 p.m. local time. "The crew opened the hatch and climbed the rescue ship's deck on their own," said Admiral Victor Fyedorov. The first aid to the crew was given on ship Alagez, and they were transferred to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka hospital.

The British cut fishing nets and debris, freeing the trapped submarine. "The rescue operation was completed successfully. We thank everyone, and especially the British rescue crew," said Fyedorov.

The submarine will be repaired and modernized. "After salvaging it, AS-28 will be carried on one of the rescue ship's decks to the coast, where specialists will examine it," said a spokesperson of VMS ("Company for secondary metal and boats"). Russian President has pledged an inquiry into the incident.

The and  also sent equipment to help in the rescue. However, it was not used.

Crew

 * Vyacheslav Milashevskiy (Вячеслав Милашевский), captain-lieutenant
 * Antoliy Popov (Анатолий Попов), navigator
 * Sergey Belezerov (Сергей Белозеров)
 * Alexandr Uybin (Александр Уйбин)
 * Alexandr Ivanov (Александр Иванов)
 * Valeriy Lepotyuha (Валерий Лепетюха)

Hi! I'd like to welcome you to Wikinews.

You should know, however, that describing a person or group as terrorists is an opinion or point of view, something which Wikinews' NPOV policy does not allow. For this reason I have reverted your recent edits.

While POV edits are not accepted on Wikinews, ascribing a POV to a specific person or organization, with sources, is very welcome. For example, the state of Israel might describe some of the individuals as terrorists, and if there is a source added which shows this it would be permissible to say "who the state of Israel describes as a terrorist".

Hope you will continue to improve our articles with your edits!

Talk:Russian submarine rescued by Royal Navy

What a great ending. Bravo for all the rescuers. Paulrevere2005 12:22, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Interview
Is there any interview with people who got stuck in the submarine?

FIX the time
Dejan, baby, unless you live in Moscow, the local time of surfacing was 4:26pm Petropavlovsk time (3:26am UTC). I fixed it, but you didn't even bother to check it before you reverted it (rv). I think Fyodorov is spelled with "yo", but this could be different in Russian.

Vandalism is what you did to my comprehensive effort , which you first claimed I'm plagerizing from myself and put copyright hold on, then organized a deletion lynching of a very fine piece of work. Editors are editors, but that was pretty underhanded. Sensational- not when I was finished, but what is more sensational than this race to save these men? It's news, not encyclopedia. The real problem, I think, is that I made some criticism of big brother Russia that annoyed you, and you struck back viciously. -mkham

 * When anon changes such information without explanation, it is natural to revert on sight, especially if we has a bunch of random anon fact changes. --Dčabrilo 20:23, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Hang in there mkham. And there are other new stories ev'ry second to write. -Edbrown05 21:45, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikimedia Foundation's first Wikimania convention held in Germany

August 8, 2005

On Thursday, August 4 Wikimedia opened its doors to the first ever Wikimania Conference, a five-day event put together by the Wikimedia Foundation.

The event, held in the Haus der Jugend in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, featured discussion and interaction on all Wikimedia projects, including its well known Wikipedia project, an online encyclopedia which touts figures of millions of articles in over 150 languages.

Wikimania expressed that its purpose as a conference was to get wikimedians to meet each other face to face, to provide several workshops and talks on all aspects of Wikimedia sites, and to introduce Wikimedia and its projects to the press.

Wikimania, with a core organisation team of eight people and a staff of 23, drew in more than 100 members of press and 70 speakers, and at least 350 delegates from 52 countries were at the conference on Saturday, August 6. Among delegates, nine from developing countries were sponsored their travel and accommodation costs by Open Source Initiative.

Users not directly at the conference were encouraged to listen in through Freematrix Radio's online broadcasts, which at the highest point drew 37 concurrent listeners. Users could also connect with the conference via Internet Relay Chat, and interact with people physically present.

One of Sundays's speakers was Richard Stallman, one of the leading lights of the Free Software movement. Ward Cunningham, inventor of the wiki, held a keynote about the past and future of wikis on Saturday morning. On Friday evening there was a keynote speech on wikis and politics as well as a panel discussion with the Foundation Board.

Jimbo Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, was himself present, and gave a speech based on his concept of Ten Things That Want To Be Free. Wales found himself swamped by press attention on the Saturday after a misquote in a Reuters article seemed to suggest that he believed Wikipedia may need to be locked from editing. Wales later issued a statement clarifying that this is not the case.

The conference was described by many as a professional, occasionally "laid back", but worthwhile event.

Larson B ice-shelf collapse reveals exotic organisms isolated for 10,000 years

August 7, 2005

The 2002 collapse of the Antarctic Larsen B Ice Shelf, which seemingly had remained stable for 10,000 years, has revealed a cold seep containing ecosystems that seem to have been isolated from the outside world for 10,000 years by a 600-foot ice shelf.

The discovery was made during an expedition led by Eugene Domack investigating the cause of the collapse. He concluded that the collapse was caused by long term gradual thinning of the shelf, followed by a recent increase in surface air temperature.

The cold seep is nearly 1.5 million square kilometers in area, and sits about 2,800 feet below the surface. The source of energy for the ecosystem has not yet been discovered, but Domack and his colleagues propose that it is methane, rather than sunlight or hot vents, that supplies energy to the system.

Domack warns that the collapse of the ice shelf may have disrupted and may possibly destroy the unusual ecosystem.

Ibrahim Ferrer, Cuban singer, dies at 78

August 7, 2005 The famous Cuban singer and member of the Buena Vista Social Club, Ibrahim Ferrer, died Saturday in Havana, Cuba, at the age of 78. The cause was an illness with which he returned from a tour of Europe.

Ferrer was born February 20, 1927 near Santiago de Cuba. He became an orphan at 12 and started working in coffee fields, carried sugar, worked in shipyards, sold newspapers and candy, and cleaned shoes. He was also singing in local bars and Orquesta Chepin-Choven noticed him. They recorded a locally successful song El Platanar de Bartolo, but he did not get much credit for it.

He got world famous only when he got old, as a part of Buena Vista Social Club. He recorded two solo albums: Buena Vista Social Club presents Ibrahim Ferrer and Buenos Hermanos.

Netanyahu quits over Israel's pullout plan

August 7, 2005

Israeli Finance Minster has resigned from the cabinet Sunday to protest against the upcoming Israeli withdrawal from the  and part of the  according to a ministry spokesman.

Netanyahu submitted a resignation letter to that he said counts as his vote against the pullout plan. He also told reporters, "I understand the ambition to leave Gaza. I can't be part of a move that I believe is wrong, a move that will endanger security and divide the people."

Sharon pushed for the pullout within his highly split, which in a recent 17 to 5 vote, approved the evacuation plan. The Israeli Army will assist in evacuation efforts of the first group of settlers in, , and.

Sharon named the Vice Prime Minister as the new finance minister.

The forced evacuations, or "disengagement", of settlers is due to start after August 15. There are nearly 8,500 Jewish residents who live within fortified fences in Gaza. The settlements are surrounded by an Arab Palestinian population of approximately 1.5 million.

In a Sunday news conference, Netanyahu said the current evacuation plan has similarities to the 1993. In that accord, Netanyahu had drawn criticism in his role as Prime Minister for what some say was a failure to adequately insure Israeli security. The gained more autonomy over some parts of the occupied territories in the accords.

Netanyahu said of the Gaza withdrawal, the Palestinian leadership is again being rewarded without concession.

The resignation is seen as a step by Netanyahu towards challenging Sharon for the leadership of the Likud party once the pullout is over. Netanyahu may have an opportunity to win back the party by placing himself in the national camp.

Netanyahu was one of the most vocal in claiming Saddam was preparing "Weapons of Mass Destruction" and he repeatedly urged America to invade Iraq on that basis.

ABC News anchor Peter Jennings dies at 67

August 8, 2005

Peter Jennings, longtime anchor of ABC's World News Tonight died Sunday in Manhattan after a four month fight with lung cancer. From the anchor desk or from the field, Jennings covered more than 40 years of national and international news including the erection and destruction of the Berlin Wall, the fall of apartheid, the demise of communism in Europe, the millennium, and the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Jennings was honored with numerous awards for journalism, including 16 Emmys, two George Foster Peabody Awards, several Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards and several Overseas Press Club Awards.

Jennings told viewers back in April in a taped message that he had lung cancer and was going to start chemotherapy treatment for it. He stated he would continue to host World News Tonight when it was possible, although he never again appeared on the broadcast. During his absence, Charles Gibson and Elizabeth Vargas filled in for Jennings. It is unknown who will replace Jennings at this time.

Jennings first broadcast experience came at age nine, when he hosted his own radio show for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Following many years of reporting from the Middle East, Jennings began appearing on World News Tonight in 1978, and became its sole anchor in 1983. During the 1980s and early 1990s, the broadcast became the most popular network news program in the US, surpassing the CBS Evening News in 1986. Jennings followed in his father's footsteps: Charles Jennings served as Canada's first network news anchorman on the CBC.

A native of Canada, Jennings became a U.S. citizen in 2003. He is survived by his wife, Kayce, his daughter, Elizabeth (25), his son, Christopher (23), and his sister, Sarah.

Soon after he died his wife, Kayce Freed, issued this statement: "Peter died with his family around him, without pain and in peace. He knew he'd lived a good life."

Koizumi has dissolved the Japanese Diet in response to rejection of postal services commercialization bill

August 8, 2005

The House of Councillors, the upper house of the Diet of Japan, voted on the controversial bill that would have privatized the Japanese Postal Service at around 1 p.m. (JST, UTC +8) on Monday, August 8. The bill was rejected by a slim margin – 108 for, 125 against, one abstention and two intentional absences – after a rebellion within the ruling Liberal Democractic Party (LDP).

The Prime Minister, Junichiro Koizumi, had promised that the privatization of the Postal Service, which is also Japan's largest savings bank, would "revitalize" the Japanese economy. He has also stated that the commercialization of the Postal Services was at the core of his policies, and threatened to dissolve the houses and call for an immediate election in case of a defeat.

As promised, the rejection led to an immediate call of the cabinet ministers at 3pm to dissolve the House of Representatives. For the dissolution to be valid all cabinet ministers must jointly sign an edict issued in the name of the Emperor. Cabinet minister Shimamura Yoshinobu, the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, refused to sign the edict, and resigned. The dissolution was officially announced by Chair Kono at the Diet later in the evening.

The election is reported to be held on September 11.

Space Shuttle Discovery STS-114 landing postponed for weather

August 8, 2005 NASA has postponed the landing of the Space Shuttle Discovery mission STS-114, planned for today.

Officials initially delayed the landing, but finally cancelled any attempts for today citing the reason as "unstable, unacceptable cloud cover [with the] potential for showers in vicinity of landing site."

Landing the space shuttle craft has been likened to landing a "brick". The approach to the landing field is at a steep pitch (nose up) and a high rate of descent. The shuttle is not very maneuverable and has one shot at the correct landing approach. Pilots cannot re-fire the engines to circle around for another approach, which is why low cloud cover is of such concern.

Discovery has spent twelve days in orbit. On Tuesday, there will be six landing opportunities: two each at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Edwards Air Force Base in California, and White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico. Shuttle managers prefer a landing at Kennedy, but will consider the alternate sites if bad weather in Florida rules out landing there. NASA administrators insist that the shuttle will land tomorrow at one of the three sites, rather than spending yet another day in orbit.

The flight marked the first time a shuttle has been inspected in orbit. The crew made two space walks to effect minor repairs to the Orbiter's thermal protection system as a result.

As reported by Andrew White.

The time is 1100 hours UTC on Monday 8th August, 2005. This is Wikinews.

Lead Story
Russian submarine rescued by Royal Navy

A Russian submarine trapped during a training exercise in Berezov Bay, 75km south of Petropavlovsk in Kamchatka, has been rescued after it was cut free by a Royal Navy Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). The crew of seven officers and midshipmen, who spent three days in temperatures around 6 C and were running out of oxygen supplies, were unharmed.

The submarine appeared on the surface at 7:25am local time. "The crew opened the hatch and climbed the rescue ship's deck on their own," said admiral Victor Fyedorov. The first aid to the crew was given on ship Alagez, and they were transfered to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka hospital.

The British Scorpio ROV cut fishing nets and debris, freeing the trapped submarine. "The rescue operation was completed successfully. We thank everyone, and especially the British rescue crew," said Fyedorov.

The submarine will be repaired and modernized. "After salvaging it, AS-28 will be carried on one of the rescue ship's decks to the coast, where specialists will examine it," said a spokesperson of VMS ("Company for secondary metal and boats"). Russian President Vladimir Putin has pledged an inquiry into the incident.

The United States and Japan also sent equipment to help in the rescue, however it was not used.

ABC News anchor, Peter Jennings dies at 67

Peter Jennings, longtime anchor of ABC's World News Tonight died Sunday after a four month fight with lung cancer. From the anchor desk or from the field, Jennings covered more than 40 years of national and international news including the erection and destruction of the Berlin Wall, the fall of apartheid, the demise of communism in Europe, the millenium, and the September 11 attacks.

Jennings was honored with numerous awards for journalism, including 16 Emmys, two George Foster Peabody Awards, several Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards and several Overseas Press Club Awards.

Jennings told viewers back in April in a taped message that he had lung cancer and was going to start chemotherapy treatment for it. He stated he would contiune to host World News Tonight when it was possible. During his absence, Charles Gibson and Elizabeth Vargas filled in for Jennings. It is unknown who will replace Jennings at this time.

A native of Canada, Jennings became a U.S. citizen in 2003.

The rescue mission of Slovenian alpinist on Nanga Parbat

Pakistani military agreed to help in the rescue mission of Slovenian alpinist Tomaž Humar.

Humar was on his paramount course mission on the 4700 meter high south rock wall of the 8125 meter high Nanga Parbat mountain (the utmost west of the mountain chain) in the Himalaya mountains, being trapped in the ice-hole at an approximate height of 5900 meters for five days. The rescue mission with the military helicopter is planned for Monday morning local time, August 8, 2005.

The rescue team managed to locate Humar on face on Sunday, but said they need a better helicopter for the actual rescue mission. Swiss Air Zermatt rescue pilots offered their help in the effort.

Netanyahu quits over Israel's pullout plan Israeli Finance Minster Benjamin Netanyahu has resigned from the cabinet Sunday to protest against the upcoming Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and part of the West Bank according to a ministry spokesman.

Netanyahu submitted a resignation letter to Ariel Sharon that he said counts as his vote against the pullout plan. He also told reporters, "I understand the ambition to leave Gaza. I can't be part of a move that I believe is wrong, a move that will endanger security and divide the people."

Sharon pushed for the pullout within his highly split Likud Party, which in a recent 17 to 5 vote, approved the evacuation plan. The Israeli Army will assist in evacuation efforts of the first group of settlers in Netzarim, Kfar Darom, and Morag.

Sharon named the Vice Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as the new finance minister.

The forced evacuations, or "disengagement", of settlers is due to start after August 15. There are nearly 8,500 Jewish residents who live within fortified fences in Gaza. The settlements are surrounded by an Arab Palestinian population of approximately 1.5 million.

In a Sunday news conference, Netanyahu said the current evacuation plan has similarities to the 1993 Oslo Accords. In that accord, Netanyahu had drawn criticism in his role as Prime Minister for what some say was a failure to adequately insure Israeli security. The Palestinians gained more autonomy over some parts of the occupied territories in the accords.

Netanyahu said of the Gaza withdrawal, the Palestinian leadership is again being rewarded without concession.

The resignation is seen as a step by Netanyahu towards challenging Sharon for the leadership of the Likud party once the pullout is over. Netanyahu may have an opportunity to win back the party by placing himself in the national camp.

Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi will dissolve the Japanese House of Representatives and call a September election after rebel lawmakers from his Liberal Democratic Party vote down crucial legislation.

Reports indicate Bush appointing friend to lead Plame inquiry

August 8, 2005 Newsweek journalist Michael Isikoff reported that the U.S. leak probe into revealing the CIA status of Valerie Plame is likely to soon be under the oversight of one of Bush's fellow Skull and Bones members, a man, Isikoff writes, who is an "old friend" of the president.

The investigation by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald into the leak is on a timetable to conclude this October 2005, so the probe is nearing its final stages. Fitzgerald's current boss, Deputy Attorney General James Comey gave Fitzgerald broad leeway to prosecute the case. Comey is leaving the government post to accept a position as general counsel at Lockheed Martin.

A possible candidate to replace Comey, Associate Attorney General Robert McCallum, was in the Bush 1968 Skull and Bones class, which consisted of 15 Yalesmen. McCallum was in the news headlines in June for his involvement with coming in at the last moment to push through a 90% reduction ($120 Billion) in the penalties requested against big tobacco companies.

In latest developments of the Fitzgerald investigation, Karl Rove's secretary and Rove's former top aide are being asked why a recorded phone conversation between TIME reporter Matt Cooper and Rove was not available when the call went through the White House switchboard.

How the possible appointment of McCallum to oversee the investigation could affect it, is unknown, and controversial. U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales recused himself from involvement with the investigation.

One of Bush's very first meetings after being installed as President in the White House was a Skull and Bones reunion. "I joined Skull and Bones, a secret society," Bush wrote in his autobiography, "so secret, I can't say anything more."

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called NubKnacker. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name NubKnacker~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Wouldn't it be better not to use an image showing the shuttle landing, since, well um... it didn't yet? How about something showing it in orbit? Here's a nice one:

http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/124736main_iss011e11227.jpg "Image above: Space Shuttle Discovery in orbit. Credit: NASA "

when is today?
Also, it'd be good to not use plain 'today' since it has been on the front page for a couple of days now. At least qualify the word with a date.

'Afghanistan is a 20-year venture' warns Canadian general

August 8, 2005 Maj.-Gen. Andrew Leslie, one of Canada's top generals says Canadians should prepare for a long mission to Afghanistan in order to help it break out of "a cycle of warlords and tribalism." Leslie told the audience attending the 74th Annual Couchiching Summer Conference in Orillia, Ontario, Canada on The Use of Force Within and Between Nations that Canada's troops will have casualties. As many as 1,250 Canadian soldiers will be serving in Afghanistan by February 2006. A 250-strong provincial reconstruction team mission is currently gathering to stabilise the Kandahar region joining the nearly 700 troops already serving in Kabul. "Every time you kill an angry young man overseas, you're creating 15 more who will come after you", he said.

"There are things worth fighting for. There are things worth dying for. There are things worth killing for", Leslie told the conference and he said the end result would be worth the cost:
 * Patterns of behaviour and beliefs about sovereignty, economics, national interests, national values, social development, the willingness to help others, a drive towards democratic institutions and representational government, the rule of law, quality of life, human rights and national culture are all parts of the larger equation of security requirements and potential solutions.

U.N. to begin forming response to Iranian nuclear program

August 9, 2005 A meeting set for Tuesday by the (IAEA) could be a move closer to a showdown at the United Nations over the Iranian plan to resume uranium conversion at its Isfahan nuclear facility.

Iran on Monday refused the weekend offer by the European Union (EU) of economic incentives that included help with nuclear-energy generation. The EU, led by Britain and France, both of which in May 2005 were considered to have violated the first pillar of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by failing to make serious efforts to dismantle their nuclear bomb stockpiles (preamble and Article VI of the treaty), and Germany, combined the offer with an exchange for Iran to verifiably give up all activities that could lead to a nuclear bomb.

Iranian officials insist their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, and say it is part of Iran's right to develop nuclear power, as is legally agreed to in the third pillar of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which gives all states the right to peacefully use nuclear technology. "The proposals are unacceptable," Hossein Moussavian said. "They negate Iran's inalienable right," said the top Iranian nuclear negotiator.

The Iranian refusal, coming from under the new leadership of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, would probably trigger the referral of Iran to the UN Security Council.

Iran began uranium conversion shortly after IAEA inspectors installed cameras and other surveillance equipment at their nuclear facility. The facility carried out an early stage of the fuel cycle, which includes turning raw uranium into gas. France and Britain condemned Iran's actions.

The IAEA sealed sensitive equipment at Iran's uranium conversion facility at Isfahan and its uranium enrichment plant at Natanz, as part of earlier compliance with a Paris agreement. An Al-Jazeera report said the IAEA seals on the plants' sensitive equipment was recently removed.

In a IAEA statement issued Monday,  reports, "It should be noted that the sealed parts of the process line remain intact."

To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tom-~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

User talk:JFM~enwikinews

Welcome
JFM, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~~~~ ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!-- Davodd | Talk 21:35, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
 * Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced
 * Introduction - overview of the site
 * Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
 * Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
 * Style guide - how articles should look before publishing
 * Contents - the contents page.
 * Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
 * The front page lead articles often need updating
 * Developing stories need finishing and publishing
 * Discussions need your input
 * Audio Wikinews could always use more contributors
 * And of course, stories need writing!

thanks a lot :) JFM 16:26, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called JFM. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name JFM~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
