British Prime Minister Tony Blair suffers defeat in vote on terror laws

November 9, 2005 British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, has suffered what some consider a humiliating political defeat after the House of Commons dismissed a controversial government proposal to permit the detention of terror suspects for up to 90 days without bringing charges. Under current UK anti-terrorism laws, suspects can be held for up to 14 days without any charges being made against them.

Members of Mr Blair's Labour Party used the vote to rebel against the proposal, with a crucial 49 tipping the balance to reject it by 322 votes to 291. It was the first Commons defeat for Mr Blair in his 8 years as Prime Minister. Later, a second proposal to extend the detention time limit for terror suspects to 28 days was passed by 323 votes to 290.

The police called for new powers after the bomb attacks in London on July 7, 2005. They argued that because anti-terrorist investigations can take considerable time, the new powers would have been justified. Critics are sceptical of these claims. Opponents believe that by effectively giving the government the right to imprison for up to three months anyone who it alleged to have been involved in terrorism, without having to present any charges in court to justify the detention, the bill could have led to abuses of power.

Leaders of the opposition parties were delighted with the results. Conservative leader Michael Howard said the vote had "diminished" the Prime Minister's authority and that he should tender his resignation. Charles Kennedy, leader of the Liberal Democrats, called Mr Blair a "lame duck".

Speaking after the result of the vote was announced, Mr Blair accused those who'd opposed the measure of being "out of touch", talking of a "worrying gap between parts of Parliament and the reality of the terrorist threat and public opinion".

Former Conservative ministers Peter Lilley and Stephen Dorrell criticised the government for using senior police officers to lobby MPs over the vote. They characterised this as the "politicisation of the police".

Talk:British Prime Minister Tony Blair suffers defeat in vote on terror laws

 * I'm guessing the title for this piece may get queried so wanted to say, pre-emptively, that from a British perspective and historically speaking this is something of a humiliation - such things have generally signalled the beginning of the end of premierships in the past. :0)--Rcameronw 21:10, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm questioning the title -- it's one thing to explain in the piece itself that such defeats have, in the past, signalled the end of a premiership, but it's quite another to call it a "humilating defeat" in the title. It needs to be changed. "Blair loses terror legislation vote" would be a lot more appropriate. Motor 02:28, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not going to dispute the title - but there are oddities and busted wiki links in the version I've just retagged as develop. I'm going to read the source and look for others because this is an important story, but what was on the front page was a mess. Brianmc 22:12, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I think the article looks good now, I am going to republish it. - Apollyon 23:31, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

what was it previously? 14 days?
90 days was rejected, 28 days was accepted. What was the status before the vote? I think I read somewhere that it was 14 days, can someone confirm? And it would be worth adding to the article that this was an increase from 14 to 28, not from zero to 28. Bill3 09:56, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Either someone just added it, or I'm blind. The info (14 days) is there now. Bill3 09:59, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Wikinews:A nice cup of tea and a sit down

My mother always said that if you can't say something nice about a person, you shouldn't say it at all. That rather idealistic concept is the fundamental rule, and purpose, of this page. A nice cup of tea and a sit down is a place to publically declare what it is that you like about other members of the community, or their contributions. The goal is to create goodwill, and perhaps assist the dispute resolution processes that occurs on other pages, or if we're lucky avoid disputes at all.

Of course, this page should not replace complimenting a person directly on their talk page or article talk pages. A nice cup of tea and a sit down is for when things have gone beyond that, and there is a need for some more formal and serious niceness.

If you get the urge to say something like "I think that such-and-such has worked really hard on Wikinews, but..." you should stop there. The rule of thumb when making a compliment is to "stop at the but/however/although". Just the complimentary part, please.

What A nice cup of tea and a sit down is for
Need help making tea correctly? watch this helpful instructional flash video → http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/oldblobs/996668.swf
 * saying nice things about other contributors, especially those with whom you are currently having problems
 * publically declaring what you like about a person or their contributions
 * directing people to when disagreements on other pages get heated

What A nice cup of tea and a sit down is not for
 "Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things." ~ Chaim Potok
 * Dispute resolution
 * Mediation
 * Arguing
 * Anything that is not 100% positive
 * Qualified positive statements, e.g.
 * "JimBob really frustrates me sometimes, but I think that he has written some excellent articles" - everything before "I think" has no place here
 * "JimBob is a great copyeditor, but he should try harder to enforce NPOV" - everything after "copyeditor" has no place here

Using A nice cup of tea and a sit down on talk pages
"If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are heated, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it will calm you." ~ William Gladstone When things get heated, you can interject and say "I think that you two need to have a nice cup of tea and a sit down," at which point all parties should come to this page and say something nice about each other. You are also welcome to come here spontaneously if someone is really starting to annoy you, however note that this is not the place to speak about your frustrations - you should do that directly to the person, or on the talk page in question. This is a place for 100% unrestrained unqualified niceness and positivity. It's amazing how thinking hard for something nice to say about a person may change the way you perceive a dispute.

Okay, the pot is brewing. Milk? Sugar?
"Computer... Tea, Earl Grey, hot." ~ Jean-Luc Picard Insert niceness here. feel free to use on a user talk page if its about a specific person.

Please create all pages, as a subpage of this page. eg

Then [ Edit this page] and add the following text at the bottom of the page (replacing USERNAME with the name of the subpage you just created):

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

Talk:Suspicions of nepotism arise from pulping of new Australian industrial relations information booklets

Original reporting
This article contains original reporting based on offical transcripts of parliament (Hansards). - Borofkin 05:41, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Article Heading
I think the word "suspicion" is a singular noun.

 * It usually is. But accusation or claim might be better anyway.

On another note, did little Johnny really say "Expressions of political support should not disbar one from preferment on the merits." ? Such an embarassing mangling of the language.

I doubt he said preferment. Probably consideration? When did he say it? Probably I'm searching for the wrong thing, or perhaps Google hasn't read that issue of hansard yet, but I'm not seeing it.

Just FYI: Salmat also did the Constitutional Convention ballot papers.

 * During the Constitutional Convention I was involved in the ballot papers going out to the electors, and I can tell you what happened there. We had a contractor—I believe it was Salmat.
 * the printing job was changed from MacMillans in Sydney to Salmat in Melbourne, which is apparently owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Limited

And is this the same Salmat?

 * That has been partly due to programs like Regional Solutions, Sus-tainable Regions and Regional Partnerships, which in my area are not denigrated. For example, those programs have seen firms get under way like Austchilli, with half-a-million dollars; Queensland Sea Scallops; and Salmat, a telephone company.

Interesting definition of a telephone company

 * 250 jobs at the Salmat call centre in Wagga Wagga
 * 300 additional jobs in Wagga Wagga with the $2 million Salmat call centre

Talk:Vatican issues defence of evolution, rejects fundamentalist creationism

This whole thing has been taken out of context. The title of this article is highly irresponsible, as was the article by news.com.au.

A balanced look at the story is currently linked to (http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/11/03/news/vat.php) That is actually what happened. Anything beyond that is stretching the truth.

Someone who cares more should change this article to a redirect to a title that isn't so blatantly misleading.

___

M. Retriever, 10/11/2005

The article of Wikipedia is a résumé/shortening of the original news from an inevitably subjective point of view, I do not consider it is out of context enough to modify it. The importance of this happening is that the Catholic Church understands that we shouldn't take the Bible literally word by word, and that fundamentalism is not convenient in any form. Religion should consider scientific advances as positive if they may be so, and science should take into account ethical reasoning; that's the conclusion.

First of all, evolution is not more then just a hypothesis, and is hardly even that. A hypothesis is something that can be tested, which relates to "observational science" and not assumptions about the past based on one's own worldview. And contrary to popular belief, there is absolutely not any irrefutable proof for evolution. Science, it would seem, is not infallible.

Secondly, if the Bible is "properly" interpreted, it can be compatible with Mormonism, Marxism, Fascism, Naziism, Socialism, Communism, Hedonism, Racism, Botulism, Terrorism, or any other -ism that you can think of. I could "interpret" the Qu'ran to say that Muslims are superior in their beliefs, and that everyone else is human scum and are ordered to be killed by the great Allah. As good of an interpretation as that may be, I don't think most Muslims would necessarily agree with that.

Also, what scientific qualifications do any of the head "churchians" of the Vatican have that will coerce people into believing they know the first thing about the validity of evolution anyways? And "scientific reasoning" does not suggest that evolution played any part in the creation of the Earth, nor the existance of humans and all living creatures. In fact, the evidence more coherently points toward a young earth, created no more then 6 thousand years ago.

Furthermore, the Earth may in fact be at the center of the universe, but that was never a disputed case, and there is no evidence either way to refute such a claim. We know that the Earth is not at the center of the Solar System, as we have plenty of evidence to support this through observation, but to say that because the Catholic church back in the time of Galileo claimed something out of ignorance(such as they continue to do),then the Bible must now allow for "scientific" conjecture(e.g. evolution) to coincide with its teachings is completely ludicrous.

Over 30 killed in a Baghdad restaurant bombing

November 10, 2005

A suicide bomber detonated himself in a crowded Baghdad restaurant Thursday morning at approximately 9:30 local time (0630 ). 35 were reportedly killed and 25 wounded in the blast. Responsibility for the attack was claimed by Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

The restaurant was frequented by -backed Iraqi security forces, often the target of Sunni Arab rebels and Al-Qaeda groups. A police officer said that at least four Iraqi police patrols were in the restaurant at the time of the bombing.

The bombing was one of the biggest attacks in Baghdad in recent months. A statement on an Islamist website used by Al-Qaeda said that the attack was a part of an Al-Qaeda campaign to counter recent raids by US and Iraqi forces on suspected militant strongholds near the Syrian border.

The attack came just a day after the bombing of hotels in, Jordan, attacks also claimed by Al-Qaeda.

Beast way is too start
If you want to start a portal for the Baha'i faith the best way is to start. After a while some more people will see it and join you in writing articles about Baha'i things. Creating a portal is easy (I could do it for you if you want) but you'd be alone in writing articles for the first bit. by the way the yahoo link you gave gives a 404. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:16, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

 * okay, I created Portal:Bahá'í Faith. I'm using the accents because thats what the wikipedia article uses so I assume its the proper title, or something. (note: I know nothing about the Baha'i faith.) to get an article to apear in it, make an article, and add the following code to the bottom of it:

category:Baha'i Category:Religion

OR...

goto Baha'i and type the article name in the inputbox at the bottom.

If you find any old articles that should be in there, tell me about it and i'll add them.Bawolff ☺☻ 04:33, 17 November 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 Finlandia. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Finlandia~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.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:17, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

EU's human rights court endorses Turkish headscarf ban

November 10, 2005

The European has ruled on a case brought by a Muslim student of Istanbul university. The ruling upholds the law in Turkey that bans the wearing of headscarves in universities and public offices.

Leyla Sahin brought her case to the court in 1998 after being excluded from classes for wearing an Islamic headscarf. She contended that the ban discriminated against her and denied her right to an education.

The court ruled that Turkish law was consistent with the on Human Rights and with the protection of women's rights in general.

The ban was reasonable as a measure to help maintain Turkey as, the court ruled. It argued: "When examining the question of the Islamic headscarf in the Turkish context, there had to be borne in mind the impact which wearing such a symbol, which was presented or perceived as a compulsory religious duty, may have on those who chose not to wear it."

The ruling will impact over 1,000 other similar cases brought by Muslim women in the country.

Thunderbird wins MBA rugby tournament

November 6, 2005 On November 6, Thunderbird: The Garvin School of International Management Rugby Football Club were crowned champions after defeating the University of California at Berkeley: Haas School of Business 17-7 at the Ninth Annual Thunderbird Rugby Invitational tournament. Thunderbird was undefeated throughout the tournament, after playing five other teams over two days. Final scores were:
 * Thunderbird 14 beat Tobacco Rd (Duke/ UNC) 3
 * Thunderbird 12 beat Cornell 0
 * Thunderbird 7 beat Wharton 0
 * Thunderbird 11 beat Univ. of Texas 8
 * Thunderbird 17 beat Berkeley 7

In addition to the five teams above, Kellogg also participated in the tournament. Third place went to the University of Texas: McCombs School of Business. The tournament is held every year in spring at Thunderbird, and is open to rugby teams from MBA schools. This year’s tournament was held under beautiful weather at Thunderbird’s Glendale campus, and was watched by more than 250 participants and spectators.

“Our team performed admirably. After a difficult season finding our form in our own Arizona league, we managed to pull together and set up some great plays. Our forwards proved to be a solid force, and gained us much ground” said Thunderbird co-captain Mike Bruneau.

Team president, Scott Harper, commented “The tournament was great. The support from all of our fans and sponsors really helped us to put on an exciting event. We had a lot of very tough competitors, and were happy to win it against such strong teams.”

Fans were treated to two great days of rugby. Each game included two 20-minute halves, and each team was scheduled for three games on the first day, and two on the final day. The highlight of the tournament was live bull riding and steer wrestling that took place near the campus, drawing an audience of over 200 people.. Each team nominated a representative to see if they could stay on a bull the longest, as well as a team who could wrestle a steer the fastest.

Thunderbird RFC would like to thank the sponsors for their kind generosity and support. Sponsors for the tournament included Siemens, Wells Fargo, Trump Enterprises, the Thunderbird Student Government and the Thunderbird Alumni Rugby Association.

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 Welda. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Welda~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.

Thirtieth anniversary of Australia's constitutional crisis

November 11, 2005

On 11 November 1975, Australia faced a constitutional crisis. By failing to obtain Supply, that is, with its financial Appropriation Bills repeatedly rejected by the upper house, the Australian national government had effectively run out of money. In response, the Australian Governor-General, Sir John Kerr, dismissed the Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. A caretaker government under the Opposition leader Malcolm Fraser was formed and held office until a new general election was called. Despite Whitlam's call for Australians to "maintain the rage", Malcolm Fraser became prime minister in a landslide win to his party.

Immediately following his sacking, responding to the formal "God save the Queen" which ended the proclamation terminating his government, Gough Whitlam declared from the steps of Parliament House: "Well may we say 'God save the Queen' because nothing will save the Governor General. . . . The proclamation you have just heard read was countersigned Malcom Fraser, who will go down in Australian history from Remembrance Day 1975 as Kerr's Cur."

While the Labor Party faithful "maintained the rage" and Australia's current prime minister John Howard said Sir John Kerr was "savagely maligned by history", the anniversary was a non-event for most Australians. The day in Australia focused on the 87th anniversary of the end of World War I and the ongoing news events of the day.

U.S. asks Czech Republic to grant asylum to Guantanamo Bay prisoners

November 10, 2005 Jan Krc, the spokesman for the US embassy in Prague, has confirmed that the embassy had asked the Czech government to grant asylum to some Guantanamo Bay prisoners, Muslims of Chinese origin, who had formerly been suspected of being terrorists. Krc said that the Muslims face persecution if they are sent back to China.

Krc said the request was "a humanitarian request because we clearly need to place these people somewhere," adding that the ex-prisoners would have as much liberty as anyone else given asylum.

The Czech Republic's Interior Minister Frantisek Bublan said; "It concerns prisoners concentrated at the Guantanamo base, of whom membership of al-Qaeda has not been proved. We were asked if we could not include them here in an asylum process."

The Czech interior ministry spokesperson, Radka Kovárová, said that the Czech government turned down the Americans' request: "Minister Bublan evaluated the whole issue and, bearing in mind potential security hazards, said he would not see offering asylum to these persons as appropriate."

Talk:U.S. asks Czech Republic to grant asylum to Guantanamo Bay prisoners

One source
Since this story is happening in the Czech Republic; it seems to have been overlooked by the wire services. I think it has huge potential because the US government has been saying the Guantanamo inmates have been denied trials and geneva conventions because they are so extremely dangerous and now they want to arrange asylum for them in other countries and are saying these same guys are actually harmless afterall.

It begs the question; why not give them asylum in the US?

The answer,imo, is because that would bring this obviously nonsensical paradox to the attention of the american people...i.e. if the prisoners in guantanamo are such bad guy terrorists; as the US has been saying all along; why is the US government now saying they are harmless and trying to get them asylum? Neutralizer 22:28, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Ok; I found a second source; the asylum issue is buried in the middle of the AFP story. Neutralizer 23:10, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Australian government accused of hypocrisy over World Court statement

November 11, 2005

The Australian government was accused of hypocrisy today over a media release about the International Court of Justice (ICJ). In the joint release the Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Attorney General welcomed the election of a New Zealander, Sir Kenneth Keith, as a judge on the ICJ, and said that "Australia strongly supported Sir Kenneth's candidature to the Court". Advocacy groups made the accusation because Australia withdrew from the jurisdiction of the maritime division of the ICJ in 2002, because of a dispute with East Timor.

Jefferson Lee from the NSW Branch of the Australia-East Timor Association said that "it is hypocritical that they are celebrating the appointment of an ICJ judge given the fact that Australia withdrew from the jurisdiction of the ICJ maritime division in March 2002."

A spokesman for the Minister for Foreign Affairs rejected the suggestion that the minister had been hypocritical, and said that it had always been government policy to resolve such disputes via bilateral negotiation.

"Maritime boundaries should be resolved by negotiation. This is how we have done it with all other countries we have negotiated with. Maritime boundaries are an issue of sovereignty," he said.

Mr Lee was referring to Australia's redeclaration of its recognition of the court. On March 22, 2002, Australia deposited a new declaration with the ICJ, which stated that its recognition of the Court did not apply to "any dispute concerning or relating to the delimitation of maritime zones, including the territorial sea, the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf, or arising out of, concerning, or relating to the exploitation of any disputed area of or adjacent to any such maritime zone pending its delimitation." This was widely understood at the time to be the result of Australia's dispute with East Timor over the maritime border. The declaration was signed by Mr Downer, who co-sponsored today's media release. The issue is especially important to both countries as the Timor Sea holds significant oil reserves.

Mr Lee argued that Australia was unfairly using its stronger bargaining position in negotiatons, and deliberately avoiding submitting to a decision by the court.

"They are constantly harping on about the necessity of resolving the Timor Sea issue by bilateral consultation between the Australian and East Timorese government rather than subjecting the dispute to the umpire, i.e. the international court of justice maritime division," he said.

Tom Clarke, Coordinator of the Timor Sea Justice Campaign, argues that the governments stance in relation to the ICJ is hypocritical.

"By picking and choosing specific parts of the ICJ’s jurisdictions that it does and doesn’t want to acknowledge, the Australian Government demonstrates that it does not take International Law seriously. Our Government has some shocking double standards," he said.

Mr Clarke also drew attention to the economic situation in East Timor. "When we’re talking about the Australian Government taking millions of dollars while East Timorese children are dying of preventable diseases, it really is no laughing matter."

Associate Professor David Reeve of the Department of Chinese and Indonesian, University of New South Wales, was asked if he thought the minister was being hypocritical.

"Foreign policy is a tricky business, with lots of strands. And there are always tensions between any country's idealism and interests. It often happens that different bits of foreign policy thrust may seem to be contradictory, but it's a complex world, and any government is trying to play lots of notes simultaneously. In this case I think Downer can be quite genuine in his congratulations, while the advocacy groups have a good opportunity to highlight their perfectly logical views," he said.

There has not been an Australian or New Zealand judge on the court since 1967. Sir Kenneths position with the court starts in 2006, and lasts for nine years.

 * ''“The Australian Government’s decision to withdraw from the maritime boundary jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) just two months before East Timor’s independence, seriously undermines the Government’s legal arguments in relation to the contested gas and oil resources in the Timor Sea. Why would you withdraw from a court, if you thought the outcome would be in your favour?”

 * ''“If current principles of International Law were followed, a permanent maritime boundary would be established along the median line, half way between East Timor and Australia. This would result in East Timor receiving billions of dollars in gas and oil royalties that it’s legally entitled to. Instead our Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, and his posse, blatantly refuse to let the ‘independent umpire’ settle the dispute and are bullying the poorest country in Asia out of billions of dollars.”

 * ''“By picking and choosing specific parts of the ICJ’s jurisdictions that it does and doesn’t want to acknowledge, the Australian Government demonstrates that it does not take International Law seriously. Our Government has some shocking double standards.”

 * ''“It’s like a driver being caught for speeding, but just before they get pulled over they announce that they wont be recognising the jurisdiction of the local courts. It would be a joke! Yet this is what the Australian Government has done in relation to its unilateral depletion of East Timor’s petroleum resources. Unfortunately, when we’re talking about the Australian Government taking millions of dollars while East Timorese children are dying of preventable diseases, it really is no laughing matter.”

New Australian industrial relations legislation passes House of Representatives

November 11, 2005

The new Australian industrial relations legislation, dubbed "WorkChoices" by the Government, passed the House of Representatives November 10. It is to be considered next by the Senate.

The House session became tumultuous, with the Tony Abbott moving a motion to permit an hour to the  stage of the bill, comparing the amount of debate on other bills to this one, stating "we have had very, very extensive debate" and that "members opposite are not interested in debating this bill, they are not interested in trying to improve this bill; they simply want to reject this bill". The in the House, Julia Gillard (Abbott's opposition counterpart), had noted that "more than 20 Labor members are going to be silenced by this motion which is gagging debate", and when Abbott moved to put the question, "and, here we go, we are going to have a gag on a gag. You’re proud of that, are you? You’re proud of that?"

As amongst others was one of the aforementioned speakers who had not the time to speak in the debate, she asked whether she could incorporate her speech into Hansard — the Government granted leave for all speakers who intended to speak but could not to incorporate their speeches into Hansard.

In the consideration in detail stage, the Federal Opposition had moved a number of amendments to the legislation, one which would effectively — as had put it — "kill the bill", another which would rename the bill to the "Workplace Relations Amendment (Cut Wages, Cut Conditions and Entitlements, No Fairness, No Work Choices) Bill 2005", but this amendment was ruled out of order by the,.

These amendments failed due to the Government majority in the house, and subsequently the bill was successfully read a third time.

UN pressures Iran with nuclear compromise plan

November 13, 2005 Mohamed el-Baradei, head of the U.N. watchdog group International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), may go directly to Tehran some time this week with a compromise plan to reduce the possibility that Iran may make use of its uranium enrichment program to produce nuclear arms.

Under a compromise plan negotiated last week between the (consisting of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom) and the United States, a loose agreement was reached where the final stages of nuclear enrichment within Iran, uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas, would be transferred to Russia.

Gholamreza Aghazadeh, who heads the nuclear program in Iran, rejected the proposal on Saturday, insisting that the uranium enrichment program must be carried out in Iran. The rejection came after a meeting with Russian foreign minister of affairs. Iran's foreign ministry spokesman,, denied the meetings were to develop a nuclear program partnership with Russia that specifically relates to the new IAEA proposal.

The IAEA board will meet on November 24, when they may decide to refer Iran for possible economic sanctions before the U.N. Security Council. The U.S. secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, has distanced the United States from the short deadline for Iran to conform to the new plan. A state department spokesman, Adam Ereli said on Thursday that, "The secretary does not conduct diplomacy by deadline."

Enriched uranium can be used to generate energy or to make nuclear weapons, a capability Tehran claims is their right to pursue for the peaceful purposes of generating electricity.

US trade deficit hits new record

November 11, 2005

The United States trade deficit hit a new record in September to $66.1 billion, up $5.7 billion from August. The trade deficit so far this year totals $529.8 billion.

A large part of the deficit is attributed to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Some of the increase is attributed to energy imports that were needed after Hurricane Katrina slowed down domestic oil production. Crude oil imports dropped $350 million due to shut down refineries, yet natural gas imports increased $3.7 billion. Fuel oil and petroleum products increased by $6.8 billion. There was also a 2.6 percent drop in exports.

Also affected by Katrina, food exports fell $296 million from transportation delays caused by the shutdown of the port of New Orleans. The total decrease in all exports was $2.8 billion.

The largest trade deficit is with China, up $1.6 billion to a record $20.1 billion after a flood of toys, clothes, and televisions were shipped to the United States.

Columns
I like columns. I think this would be a great way to do it after a couple issues were worked out.

Problems

 * 1) Images (they now would interupt flow)
 * 2) Float it outside the column div. Works but you loose a column
 * 3) Float it inside. Positioning hard, interupts text
 * 4) Columns too long.
 * 5) Use height atribute, and posibly overlow too make prety horizontal scroll bars.
 * 6) Tested. User:Bawolff/Sandbox/Column-test/U.S. Supreme Court: Death penalty for juveniles is unconstitutional Works great. slight problem with scroll mouses. totally invisible to non-supporting browsers.
 * 7) Non supporting browsers
 * 8) Just looks like it used too
 * 9) Opera has issues with long scroll test. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 22:57, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * 10) Will be beter once Fx 1.5 is released
 * 11) hopefully more browsers will follow
 * 12) Columns aren't as user-friendly in browsers. In print, they work because they stop you from either having really tall paper or lots of page turns. But on screen, having to jump from the bottom of the page back to the top isn't very usable. --Frankie Roberto 11:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
 * 13) Thats what height atribute is for. The idea is that all the columns are on one screen and you scroll horizontally to get more. Their also useful for speed reading (or thats what people tell me, I can't speed read.) Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 22:57, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * 14) Agree with images issue. Will need to work with template for displaying inline images? (need to research the standard?)
 * 15) When I tried puting images inline it made the column as wide as the image. maybe using column-span, but i don't know if fx supports it. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 23:04, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * 16) Column length can be controled, to a degree, by using sections to break article into blocks which are columnized. Perhaps use of a sectioning template to create section breaks? - Amgine 19:57, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * 17) Is this standards-based?  Does it display in any browser other than Firefox 1.5?  Because if not, I don't think we should use it.  Why exactly doesn't it work in Firefox 1.0.x? - McCart42 (talk) 19:46, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * 18) Standards based, Kinda. this is in CSS3. Its kind of like the rounded corners in the French wikinews. see also http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/CSS3_Columns . Doesn't work in 1.0x because it wasn't implamented t'll 1.5. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 22:57, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmm...I can see pro and con on this one. On one hand, it's only a draft, and not really an accepted W3C standard (as I understand it).  However, unlike some of Microsoft's "embrace and extend" non-standard additions to HTML, it supports "Graceful Degradation" which just makes it look like it used to for those not using the latest Firefox version.  I would hesitantly support this if it came up for a vote. - McCart42 [[User_talk:McCart42|(talk)]] 05:13, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Jan Krc, the spokesman for the US embassy in Prague, has confirmed that the embassy had asked the Czech government to grant asylum to some Guantanamo Bay prisoners, Muslims of Chinese origin, who had formerly been suspected of being terrorists. Krc said that the Muslims face persecution if they are sent back to China.

Krc said the request was "a humanitarian request because we clearly need to place these people somewhere," adding that the ex-prisoners would have as much liberty as anyone else given asylum.

The Czech Republic's Interior Minister Frantisek Bublan said; "It concerns prisoners concentrated at the Guantanamo base, of whom membership of Al Qaeda has not been proved. We were asked if we could not include them here in an asylum process."

The Czech interior ministry spokesperson, Radka Kovárová, said that the Czech government turned down the Americans' request because; "Minister Bublan evaluated the whole issue and, bearing in mind potential security hazards, said he would not see offering asylum to these persons as appropriate."
