Concorde crash trial begins

February 3, 2010

A French court Tuesday launched the trial of five men and a US airline over the. 113 people were killed when the supersonic jet struck a hotel near Paris in 2000.

The prosecution case agrees with the facts set out in the final accident report, which, by international law, was written from an entirely different investigation and thus cannot be introduced in court. It alleges that improper maintenance of an American airliner and failure to detect design flaws with the Concorde were responsible for the jet's crash, to an extent that makes the six defendants guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

Both official investigations found that a Continental Airlines had taken off five minutes before Concorde with an improvised repair. A metal strip had been machined by mechanics instead of using a certified part. This strip dropped off the aircraft, leaving a 43cm (17in) piece of on the runway.

Prosecutors and investigators concluded that as Concorde struck the part on takeoff a tyre burst and ripped apart, sending chunks of rubber flying. A large piece slammed into the underside of the wing hard enough to trigger a that ruptured the fuel tank. Damaged wiring is believed to have been responsible for igniting this, creating a trailing fireball as the aircraft took off bound for New York.

Concorde's pilots attempted to circle round for an emergency landing back at, but instead struck a hotel approximately three kilometres (two miles) from the airport. All 109 passengers and crew were on board, as well as four people in the hotel, were killed. The majority of victims were Germans heading to meet up with a cruise liner for a Caribbean holiday, the remainder of the 100 passengers were from Austria.

John Taylor, the Continental mechanic who is alleged to have built and fitted the nonstandard part, and his boss Stanley Ford, have been targeted for prosecution. Both individuals and their employer deny responsibility. Also charged are two members of the UK-French firm behind Concorde -, who have since merged into Airbus parent. Henri Perrier was head of testing for Concorde and the aircraft's chief engineer was Jacques Herubel; both have been charged for a perceived failure to locate and rectify design flaws with Concorde. The former chief of civil aviation, Claude Frantzen, is facing charges on the same basis.

Each individual can be imprisoned for up to three years and fined up to €50,900 (US$71,000. Continental face a fine of up to €375,000 (US$520,000). The airline's defence claims the part on the runway had no role to play in the accident. TV channel previously suggested the investigations and prosecution were a coverup of more serious issues with Concorde.

The broadcast alleged Concorde erupted into flames long before getting as far down the runway as the strip. Continental's lawyers say they can call 28 witnesses to give similar evidence and told the  that they would seek a dismissal of the charges today. The case opened with judge Dominique Andreassier reading out every one of the 113 names of the deceased, followed by the charges against the six, in the court in.

There are 80,000 pages of documents to be presented at trial, and 543 items are to be presented as evidence. The case is split into 90 volumes and is expected to take four months. The judge cautioned against losing touch with the human aspect of what is anticipated to be a very technical trial. The estimated cost is expected to be in excess of 3 million Euro (US$4.2 million).

The investigation found some contributory causes that can be linked to Air France. Four days before the crash an important tyre spacer was left off the Concorde by mechanics, and the plane was overloaded. The airport itself was also criticised for having cancelled a scheduled sweep of the runway. Air France lawyer Fernand Garnault, an aviation specialist, was adamant that Continental did play the main role in the accident; "[i]t is clear that a piece from a Continental plane fell on the runway. It is clear that the origin of the accident was this. This is my personal conviction and of course that of Air France."

Few families are represented at the trial, because all the passengers struck a deal with Air France to accept compensation in exchange for waiving their right to take legal action, leaving only those killed in the hotel and the crew. However, French group Fenvac are representing the families, and spokesman Stephane Gicquel said that the families would be observing keenly, that "[t]his tragedy is part of their personal history and of their family history."

Captain Christian Marty's family's lawyer, Roland Rappaport, said outside court today that, "[t]his accident should have been avoided. The weaknesses of the Concorde had been known for twenty years," while Air France's lawyers stated the inquiries had not located any evidence to suggest that Concorde had indeed encountered problems before reaching the metal debris.

Daniel Soulez Larivière, who represents Frantzen, said, "this accident was unforeseeable," and the original investigations should have agreed. Concorde suffered a string of similar incidents in the 1970s including one in Washington that came close to triggering a fire. "They [the authorities] wanted to protect Concorde, the image of France that it projected. They should have stopped service then [1979]," said Olivier Metzner, representing Continental. The plane was not grounded until after the accident, although it returned to service before being retired in 2003.

Metzner told the court that former French air accident investigator Michel Bourgeois was to be a key witness. Bourgeois recently alleged that authorities were indeed hiding flaws with the airliner, saying "[n]othing was allowed to disturb Air France [...] orders came from very high in the administration," and that investigations into Concorde's safety were shut down by the government.

Ex-minister says UK Cabinet was "misled" about legality of Iraq war

February 3, 2010

Clare Short, the United Kingdom's then-Secretary of State for International Development, appeared before the Iraq Inquiry yesterday, and told the panel that the Cabinet was "misled" about the Iraq War's legality prior to the 2003 invasion. The three-hour session was held in the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in London's City of Westminster.

Short, an outspoken critic of the war, retired from the cabinet to become an independent MP two months before the invasion. She claimed to have been "conned" into staying on despite her doubts about the war and told the inquiry that the Cabinet, of which she was a part, was not a "decision-making body", and that Parliament was simply a "rubber stamp".

Lord Goldsmith's decision
She also claimed that Tony Blair "and his mates" had acted "on a wing and a prayer", having "leaned on" then-Attorney General for England and Wales Lord Peter Goldsmith, pressurising him to change his mind about the invasion. She did, however, admit that she had no evidence to support these claims. Goldsmith gave a verdict that the war would be legal only shortly before the invasion, having firmly held the belief that it would not be without a further United Nations Security Council resolution.

Short was applauded as she concluded her testimony, in which she said that she was "shocked" at how a definitive statement about the legality of the war circulated only as late as March 17, 2003 — just three days before the invasion began — that this state of shock led her to be "jeered at" by other ministers. Said statement, according to Short, contained no hint that Goldsmith had previously had any doubts whatsoever.

She said any discussion of legality was stopped at the same pre-war cabinet meeting. She accused Blair of standing in the way of such discussion, and said, "Everything that's happened since makes me know that there was deliberate blockage and there were also all sorts of secret, private meetings", and that normal cabinet communications were "closed down" as the invasion approached. "There was never a meeting that said 'what's the problem, what are we trying to achieve, what are our military, diplomatic options?' We never had that coherent discussion ... never."

Goldsmith responded to her inquiries about the lateness of this statement by saying "it takes me a long time to make my mind up", and that he had made his decision after consulting foreign legal professionals. She said that Goldsmith's "doubts and his changes of opinion" made her "think for the attorney general to come and say there's unequivocal legal authority to go war was misleading." She said that "I think he misled the cabinet. He certainly misled me, but people let it through".

She claimed that the government, having failed to secure a required UN resolution, started the "untrue" rumour that France had vetoed it. She said that she "believed them at the time. You don't want to disbelieve your Prime Minister in the run-up to war and you want to believe the leader of your party. You want to be loyal".

UN involvement
When asked why she had not resigned earlier than she did, she said that she "was conned" by Blair's promises of a strong role for the UN in the reconstruction of Iraq, as well as more attempts to resolve the conflict about Israel. She said that she "thought that if we got a Palestinian state and a UN lead on reconstruction, that will be much better ... I took a lot of flak for it. I still think, if we had done those things, it would have been a heck of a lot better." She says that this lack of UN involvement in the post-invasion reconstruction effort was her main reason for retiring from the government.

Short said that she "was seeing the intelligence" about Iraq at the earlier stages of preparation for an invasion, but that in late 2002 "asked for a briefing... This just didn't come and didn't come... it became clear there was some sort of block on communications." Apparently, the intelligence reports she say said that "Saddam Hussein didn't have nuclear [weapons] ... [he] would if he could but he was nowhere near it. It wasn't saying there was some new imminent threat".

Tony Blair, 9/11, and post-war planning
Short asserted Blair's evidence, given to the inquiry on Friday, was "historically inaccurate", since "[t]here was no evidence of any kind of an escalation of threats" after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre. This is contrary to Blair's claims that attitudes towards the threat Iraq posed "changed dramatically" after the attacks, and that Saddam Hussein "threatened not just the region but the world".

She said, "We could have gone more slowly and carefully and not have had a totally destabilised and angry Iraq. The American people were misled to suggest that al-Qaeda had links to Saddam Hussein. Everybody knows that is untrue - that he had absolutely no links, no sympathy, al-Qaeda were nowhere near Iraq until after the invasion and the disorder that came from that." Short criticised the military for not meeting the obligations laid out for them, as an occupying force, by the Geneva Convention.

Background and response
Lord Boyce, the former head of the British armed forces, said in an earlier hearing that officials from the Department for International Development — Short's department — let their opposition to the war prevent them from cooperating fully with the rest of the government immediately after the invasion. Alistair Campbell, Blair's former spokesman, said that Short had been "difficult to handle" in the run-up to the invasion, and that there was fear that she may leak pieces of information that she did not agree with. Lord Andrew Turnbull, former Secretary of the Cabinet, however, said that these concerns were unfair, and that minority voices had been unfairly pushed to the sidelines.

Hilary Benn, who took over Short's post after her resignation, is scheduled to give evidence before the inquiry today.

Zimbabwean farmers' organisations warn of corn shortage

February 2, 2010 Zimbabwean farmers' organisations have warned that the country may face a corn shortage, and corn crops may fail due to prolonged periods without rain.

The Commercial Farmers’ Union (CFU) and the Zimbabwe Commercial Farmers Union (ZFCU) estimate that Zimbabwe might have to import up to a million metric tons of corn.

"All indications are that this season will be a total disaster. We will be very lucky if we get more than 500,000 tonnes," commented Deon Theron, who is the president of the CFU. In a telepone interview with Bloomberg, he also said that "this season is going to be a disaster."

Theron told the Reuters news agency that "we need about 1.8 million tonnes of maize, so over a million tonnes will have to be made up by imports."

"The dry spells came at precisely the wrong time," said ZFCU president William Nyabonda.

The organisations' estimates contradict preliminary estimates by the Zimbabwean unity coalition government, which suggest that the country's maize output will be 2.5 million tonnes this season, twice the output of 2009. The government now says it believes the output will be poor, but hasn't yet altered its projection, instead saying that it will conduct a nationwide crop assessment.

Officials say at least seventeen killed by suspected US drones in Pakistan

February 2, 2010 According to reports from officials, at least sixteen militants were killed in Pakistan earlier today when suspected US drone attacks struck a village in the North Waziristan region, along the border with Afghanistan.

The drones hit suspected fighters' hideouts, as well as a training centre, authorities said. According to the Al Jazeera news agency, local residents were recovering dead bodies and wounded people out of the rubble.

"Up to eight US drones fired some 18 missiles at multiple militant targets in Dattakhel village," commented a police official to the Agence France-Presse news agency; "at least 16 militants were killed in the missile strikes."

Pakistan's government condemns the drone strikes, which have been increasingly frequent recently; however, US authorities claim the attacks have killed several high-ranking members of rebel groups, and are essential to protect soldiers in neighbouring Afghanistan.

The US government does not officially confirm the strikes; however, their troops in Afghanistan are the only known group in the area that uses unmanned drones that can fire missiles.

Talk:Officials say at least seventeen killed by suspected US drones in Pakistan

a drone is weaponless
The use of the word "drone" may not be appropriate in this context, since the name comes from the term for a (male) bee without sting. A drone in the military context is normally an unmanned, remote-controlled aeroplane used for target practice and does not carry any weapons - hence the name. 79.218.194.86 (talk) 10:15, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Poland issues EU warrant for Swede suspected of stealing Auschwitz sign

February 3, 2010 A court in Poland has issued a European Union arrest warrant for 34-year-old Anders Högström, the alleged mastermind involved in the theft of the infamous Arbeit Macht Frei sign from Auschwitz. The sign, later recovered cut into three pieces, was stolen from the entrance of the death camp in December last year. Five Poles have been arrested for the theft of the sign, that translates to "work sets you free". The wrought-iron sign weighs 40kg and is five metres long, and was unscrewed and ripped from above the gate of the infamous site in the heart of Poland. The theft caused outrage around the world, in particular in Poland and Israel.

Spokesman for the court of the Polish city Krakow, Rafał Lisak, said that the Swedish national is suspected of "incitement to commit theft of a cultural treasure". Höngström is the founder of a Swedish neo-Nazi group, National Socialist Front. However, he later quit the group and reeled against the extreme right-wing movement. The warrant issued for him obliges any European Union constituent country to arrest the suspect and return him to Poland for a trial.

Between 1940 and 1945, over one million Jews and other minority groups were killed in the gas chambers of, or died of starvation in, the three camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

NTSB says pilot error caused crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407

February 5, 2010

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has determined that the captain of Colgan Air Flight 3407, which crashed nearly a year ago outside Buffalo, New York during its approach to Buffalo Niagara International Airport, "inappropriately responded to the activation of the stick shaker, which led to an aerodynamic stall from which the aeroplane did not recover," according to a statement issued by the NTSB.

The flight, operating as a codeshare with Continental Airlines under their Continental Connection brand, crashed last year on February 12, 2009 in Clarence Center, New York. The Bombardier Dash 8 Q400, crashed into a residence killing everyone on board as well as one on the ground.

The NTSB has blamed pilot error and poor training for the crash, noting that the plane's captain, Marvin Renslow, "had not established a good foundation of attitude instrument flying skills early in his career, and his continued weaknesses in basic aircraft control and instrument flying were not identified and adequately addressed." Renslow's career spanned two decades and had failed five performance checks during that time. Colgan Air was only aware of three. Colgan said had they known about the other two, they would not have hired Renslow in 2005.

Colgan Air responded to the NTSB report in a letter: "They [the pilots] knew what to do in the situation they faced that night a year ago, had repeatedly demonstrated they knew what to do, and yet did not do it. We cannot speculate on why they did not use their training in dealing with the situation they faced."

The Board added that Renslow's response to the "stick shaker activation should have been automatic, but his improper flight control inputs were inconsistent with his training and were instead consistent with startle and confusion. The 24-year-old first officer, Rebecca Lynne Shaw, was noted for her young age and lack of experience.

The Board also concluded that "the pilots' performance was likely impaired because of fatigue." Renslow and Shaw had spent the night at the crew lounge at Newark Liberty International Airport in violation of Colgan Air's company policies. However, the board voted down making fatigue a contributing factor. Shaw, the first officer, had flown the previous night on two separate planes from the Pacific Northwest where she lived with her parents. Shaw also appeared to be suffering from a bad cold.

However, the report also criticized Colgan saying that the airline, "did not pro-actively address the pilot fatigue hazards associated with operations at a predominantly commuter base." Adding that, "Operators have a responsibility to identify risks associated with commuting, implement strategies to mitigate these risks, and ensure that their commuting pilots are fit for duty."

Another factor brought up the by the NTSB was the violation of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) sterile cockpit rule. It was noted that first officer Shaw had sent two text messages before take-off at Newark. The second message was sent two minutes before take-off.

Prior to landing, the cockpit voice recorder recorded that the pilots were holding a conservation that potentially distracted the captain from operating the plane. Robert Sumwalt, a member of the NTSB board said, "It was continuous and one-sided, with the captain doing most of the talking." He added, "It was as if the flight was just a means for the captain to conduct a conversation with this young first officer." The chairwoman of the NTSB, Deborah Hersman, has noted that electronic devices are becoming a hazard to transportation. Hersman said, "Recent NTSB investigations have identified personal wireless technology use on the job. This phenomenon is becoming more widespread, and these phone calls, texts and other distractions have deadly consequences and must be addressed with all due haste by the transportation industry."

The agency noted that distractions from electronics have played a part in many recent accidents and incidents, such as the August 2009 mid-air collision between a small private Piper aeroplane and a tour helicopter over the Hudson River in New York City killing all involved. The NTSB noted that one of the air traffic controllers was making a phone call and failed to warn the aircraft of the conflict that existed between each other in their airspace. However, this was disputed by the National Air Traffic Controllers Association which represents air traffic controllers nationwide. The NTSB later retracted some of its statements.

The other notable incident was that of Northwest Airlines Flight 188 in October, that overshot its destination of Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport by 150 miles (241 km) before the pilots noticed. The pilots claimed they were checking schedules on their laptop computers in violation of basic piloting rules, the sterile cockpit rule and the policy of Delta Air Lines, who had recently acquired Northwest.

The NTSB's last board meeting which was held two weeks ago, about the 2008 train collision between a Metrolink commuter rail train and a Union Pacific freight train in Chatsworth, California also pertained to distractions by electronic devices. In the statement released by the NTSB for that meeting, the board stated that "according to records from the wireless provider, on the day of the accident, while on duty, both the Metrolink engineer and the Union Pacific conductor used wireless devices to send and receive text messages." The NTSB has recommended that audio and video recorders be installed in locomotive and control cabs because of the collision.

UNHCR: Somalia violence killed 258 civilians last month; tens of thousands displaced

February 3, 2010 The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has said that, in the last month, 258 civilians were killed and a further 80,000 displaced by the ongoing violence in Somalia, between the government and rebel groups.

"According to local sources, intense clashes between government forces and militia groups fighting for control of the conflict- torn central regions have left at least 258 civilians dead and another 253 wounded, which makes January the deadliest month since last August," the UN agency said in a statement. "We estimate that more than 80,000 Somalis have been displaced since the beginning of the year. Thousands were also forced to leave their homes in other parts of Somalia."

The violence has made it difficult for humanitarian aid workers to access the population effectively. Andrej Mahecic, the spokesman of the UN refugees agency, noted: "So far, the deteriorating security conditions have made it hard, if not impossible, for humanitarian workers to access the needy population."

The Xinhua news agency reports that UNHCR intends to send relief and shelter supplies to upwards of 18,000 people in 27 locations, where displaced residents are living temporarily, when it is considered safe to do so.

Among those displaced were 18,000 people who fled their homes in the capital, Mogadishu; meanwhile, 29,000 were displaced in Dhusamareebb, in the Galgaduud region, and 25,000 in Beledweyne in the Hiraan region.

A total of 1.4 million Somalis are currently internally displaced, 560,000 more are refugees in adjacent countries; last year, 120,000 residents sought refuge, primarily in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Yemen.

The UN says Somalia is in its worst humanitarian crisis for eighteen years.

IPCC chief refuses to apologize for glacier error

February 3, 2010

The chief of the UN climate change panel, Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, admitted on Wednesday that a mistake in a 2007 report had raised questions about the body's credibility, in an interview with The Guardian.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) landmark Fourth Assessment Report in 2007 said the probability of glaciers in the Himalayas "disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high."

There is no evidence the claim was published in a peer-reviewed journal, thus calling into question its credibility.

He refused to apologize in the interview with The Guardian for the unverified claim. "I think this (glacier) mistake has certainly cost us dear, there's no question about it," Pachauri told the newspaper. "Everybody thought that what the IPCC brought out was the gold standard and nothing could go wrong."You can't expect me to be personally responsible for every word in a 3,000 page report," he said.

The IPCC issued a statement expressing regret for the mistake, but Pachauri said, "I don't do too many populist things, that's why I'm so unpopular with a certain section of society," defending his refusal for an apology.

China begins urgent sweep for tainted milk
Chinese authorities say they are preparing to launch a crackdown on melamine-laced milk after the scandal over tainted products, which made hundreds of thousands of children ill two years ago and damaged China’s brand reputation overseas, resurfaced.

China has dispatched inspectors to sixteen provinces to urge local governments to thoroughly investigate cases concerning food safety.

The decision comes after milk products tainted with the industrial chemical melamine were removed from sale in Shanghai and the provinces of Shaanxi, Shandong, Liaoning and Hebei, the state-run Xinhua News Agency said.

At least seven dead after bomb blast in Northwestern Pakistan

February 3, 2010

According to reports, at least eight people, including three United States military personnel and four schoolgirls, were killed earlier today by a roadside bomb near a girls' school in north-western Pakistan. Another 62 were injured. The incident occurred in a village in the Lower Dir district, near Swat Valley.

The Los Angeles Times reports that the US troops were travelling to the area in a convoy to attend the opening ceremony of the school for girls when the explosion occurred.

In a statement, the US embassy in Pakistan commented that "three Americans were killed and two injured in a terrorist bomb explosion at about 11:20am today in the Lower Dir district of Pakistan’s federally-administered tribal areas.

"The Americans were US military personnel in Pakistan to conduct training at the invitation of the Pakistan Frontier Corps. They were in Lower Dir to attend the inauguration ceremony of a school for girls that had recently been renovated with US humanitarian assistance," it added.

Mohammed Wakeel, the chief doctor at the local hospital, confirmed that some of the dead were schoolgirls, saying: "We have four dead bodies [in the hospital]. They are schoolgirls aged ten to fifteen. We have received 65 injured; most of them are girls."

Rema Bibi, a sixth-grader, was in the school when the explosion happened. She recalled her experiences, stating that "We were all busy with classwork when the a part of the roof collapsed," as quoted by the Los Angeles Times.

The Taliban, meanwhile, claimed responsibility for the attack. "We claim responsibility for the blast," said a Taliban spokesman, Azam Tariq.

The US does not officially have stationed troops in Pakistan, although there a few personnel are there. Their duties are primarily to train and advise Pakistani security forces over tactics against local rebel groups.

Comments:China urges Obama to cancel Dalai Lama visit

Obama and Dalai Lama
Obama and Dalai Lama are both winners of Nobel Peace Prize. What could be so terrifying about these two Nobel Peace laureates?? Assistant Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin is scheduling hearings on Feb 10 regarding Chinese censorship. I believe he should include this matter also.

In China it is a bad omen for someone to be bestowed "a medallion in gold by a northern realm"

Keep at it PRC, trying to prevent a diplomatic visit to the Dalai lama makes you seem very mature and respectable...

lol strained...exactly what does that mean? the PRC are masters of Vagueness

No, I think its pretty clear both here in the PRC and to international observers that the policy towards towards Tibet is the incorrect choice.

What was retracted?
"The NTSB noted that one of the air traffic controllers was making a phone call and failed to warn the aircraft of the conflict that existed between each other in their airspace. However, this was disputed by the National Air Traffic Controllers Association which represents air traffic controllers nationwide. The NTSB later retracted some of its statements."

 * You fight for unprotected articles because your request was honored in only twelve minutes? (Just kidding).

 * Whereas to me it seems obvious that would serve nothing but revisionism, and I consider revisionism a crime against civilization at least as vile as book burning. --Pi zero (talk) 00:10, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Raising an issue 'revisionism' with that and drawing a line to book burning - thats what one would consider 'kidding'.
 * You even have Flagged_revisions/Sighted_versions in en-WN, not even an accident may happen, vandalism should be impossible.
 * If there is a reader with his eyes at this article, he may be aware that a page is 'wiki', realizing there is an 'edit'-tab. So some people you will luckily get to correct a typo(seeing their success immediately, even with Sighted_versions). Fewer people will even be aware of what a talk page means, moving over there, describing what and where and than wait...and wait if there is an effect. It's a mistake thinking the whole world knows about immediate reaction in en-wikinews.
 * I sometimes tried to e-mail typos at static websites, thats about the same 'little effort' as the talk-page procedure. With less than 50% success i will not continue making a fool of me.
 * Now i see(normally my eyes do not wander further down than the end of a news-text....): there is a 'page archived' template at the bottom of the article suggesting a even more complicated procedure what may be very difficult to a random, not really wiki-familiar, reader.
 * We may now debate that only changes that does not touch the 'subject matter' are accepted - while no one questioned this. The perfect way to handle this would be a (strong) notice, technically at edit-time, much better than that ugly template we have at german wikinews crowning every article... So far. --Itu (talk) 12:14, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Comments:Ex-minister says UK Cabinet was "misled" about legality of Iraq war

Impressive! I mean of the courage this country has. On one hand such imbecils become key players and on the other hand a country run by idiots has the nerve to teach others how to live their lives. Only the shame of this dumb creature should have been enough to shut the door close and hide from the public opinion. But instead it comes forwards and explains something along the lines "I am a stupid child and the big bad wolf tricked me". Any decent man in that country should step forward to ask back the money lost by this monkey both in received wage and also because of the other spending related to her time in office.

A lorry driver there has to pay for the damages he provoked, yet this chimp (it sure looks like one in that photo) can come clean and say "I'm stupid, it's not my fault". How can people live in such a dump?

What now is the comment?

Monster.com aquires Yahoo's HotJobs service for $225 million

February 4, 2010   Yahoo announced plans to sell its HotJobs employment search service to Monster Worldwide for $225m, the companies said yesterday. Monster currently controls one third of online jobs postings in the United States. The two companies also struck a three-year agreement under which Monster will provide career and job content for the Internet giant's homepage in the U.S. and Canada. Terms of the deal include Monster being paid for providing job-related postings for Yahoo's homepage in the US and Canada for three years and other expressions of interest. Yahoo, who bought HotJobs in 2001 for $436 million, last month agreed to sell email provider Zimbra to VMWare Inc. for an undisclosed amount, having it acquired for $350 million two years ago. "HotJobs with its significant customer base plus the traffic agreement are an ideal complement to Monster's innovative recruitment solutions and global reach," said Sal Iannuzzi, chairman, CEO and president of Monster Worldwide. "Monster will be able to offer its employers a significantly larger pool of candidates across diverse geographies and industries," the company said in a statement. Buying Yahoo out of the online recruitment business leaves Monster with only one major competitor, Careerbuilder.com. "We have substantially added quality traffic, while substantially increasing our customer base," he added. HotJobs averaged 12.6 million unique visitors a month, according to Media Metrics comScore. HotJobs generates annual revenue of about $100 million while Monster's revenue totalled $905 million in 2009. Alexa.com rates HotJobs at rank 3 while Monster.com at rank 531. == Sources == *  *

China and US clash over currency

February 4, 2010 China has retorted after the United States promised to "take a tougher line" with Beijing in regards to currency and trade. Barack Obama said yesterday that he would make sure unfair advantages were not being given by countries to their currencies against the dollar. US companies have complained that the Chinese Yuan is artificially undervalued to give Chinese industries a price advantage.

A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman,, said the value of the Yuan was "not the main reason" for the trade surplus of China with the United States. He went on to say that the "level of the Yuan is close to reasonable and balanced", and "accusations and pressure do not help to solve the problem".

When asked at a meeting with Senate democrats, Obama was asked about the possibility of breaking Chinese ties. He replied that he would make sure that they, along with other countries, abided by trade agreements; but, warned that it would be "a mistake" for the United States to become protectionist. He stated his administration would "make sure that our [the US] goods are not artificially inflated in price" and that China's goods were not deflated. Trade between the two countries came to a total of last year, with a US gap of.

Diplomatic relations between the two countries have been strained recently over a Taiwanese arms deal, Obama visiting the Dalai Lama and Internet censorship.

Pakistan arrests 35 people suspected in US soldiers' death

February 4, 2010 According to Pakistani officials, thirty-five suspects have been arrested as part of their investigation into the bombing in north-west Pakistan that killed three American soldiers and four Pakistanis on Wednesday. The claimed responsibility for the bomb and threatened more attacks.

According to a senior official in the North-West Frontier Province, the police made thirty arrests. Five were made by the paramilitary. Naeem Khan, a police official, said that a suicide car bombing is more plausible than a remote-detonating device. He said, “We are questioning them in an effort to trace those who orchestrated the suicide attack."

"We have recovered the engine of the car we suspect was used in the bombing. We have also found some limbs which we suspect are of the bomber. We have sent these limbs for DNA tests," he added.

District police officer Mumtaz Zareen stated that militants had exploded the bomb as the soldiers' convoy passed the school in the near, a well-known former stronghold of the Taliban.

A statement from the U.S. embassy in Islamabad said the American military personnel were part of an ongoing training program with paramilitary troops in the north-west.

User talk:Sundararaman~enwikinews

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 Sundararaman. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sundararaman~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 23:33, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:37, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Welcome
, 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! Cirt - (talk) 01:37, 7 May 2008 (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!
 * Hi. We cannot publish your article Google bug brands every page as harmful yet, as some information contained in it is questionable. Specificly, StopBadware.com denies giving google the site blacklist, claiming it is in fact the other way arround. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Korea article
Nice work – reviewed, published and (at the time of writing) one of the five lead stories on the front page. Have you considered joining in the Writing contest 2010? Regards, Bencherlite (talk) 11:23, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Contest entrant template
This template should be given to all participants in the writing contest, since you added your name after the official start, the bot didn't send it to you so i'm adding it here manually. :-) Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk]  18:59, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Also, I took the liberty of adding your Korea article to the log and adding your name to the standings table. Hope you don't mind. Tempodivalse [talk]  19:03, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Smart Quotes
What are they? And I do edit offline,but I do not copy-paste.Thanks for the review!! --Adi4094 (talk) 09:34, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Smart quotes probably have a more technical name, but they are the quotation marks that look like "66" and "99" -- “This is in smart quotes” but "this is in normal quotes". The problem with them is that they cannot be easily typed on a keyboard, and look strange when both are used on the same page. It's a feature that can be turned off using Microsoft Word, but you may find it easier to use Notepad. — μ 09:41, February 4 2010 (UTC)

Metropolis News
First of all thank you for reviewing :). but could you please edit the text according to the "style" part? I mentioned that English is not my native language, so a native speaker should do that. I added the missing time zone according your review, and what's arte is allready mentioned and wiki-linked inside. and like you labeled it, it's old news right now, so almost all of your review-reactions are fulfilled. and the first review hasn't reacted in any way, so what shall I do now? best regards, --Andreas -horn- Hornig (talk) 20:25, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
