Farmers hunt for missing bull semen

November 6, 2005

Authorities are looking for USD$75,000 in frozen bull semen stolen Sunday from liquid nitrogen tanks at a farm in Frederick County, Maryland. Eric Fleming, the owner, says the semen took 4 to 5 years to collect from 40 to 50 bulls. He had planned to sell the semen at an upcoming Denver cattle show.

The collection and storage of semen can be a very profitable business—the ease of transportation reduces the costs normally associated with insemination, namely the transport of bull and cow to one another. Collection can be tricky, however, as bulls do not always produce as expected and the process is not particularly easy.

"I will give a nice fat reward for any information on semen that was stolen from my tank today," Fleming posted to a livestock breeder's message board. "It was a mother load of semen."

Man charged in £26.5m robbery

An Irish construction worker accused of a record breaking £26.5 million (US$45 million) bank robbery committed in December 2004 was formally charged in a court in Belfast on Friday. Dominic McEvoy was charged with possession of a firearm and false imprisonment in connection with the case.

On December 20, 2004, McEvoy allegedly held an assistant bank manager's family hostage while the manager and a colleague were forced to admit thieves to a branch of the Northern Bank in Belfast. The thieves then emptied the vault. Police have blamed the robbery on the IRA which has repeatedly denied any connection to the theft. Sinn Féin, a political party linked with the Provisional IRA, has protested the arrests, accusing police of targeting IRA sympathizers and supporters in their investigation.

The Northern Bank heist is one of the largest in Europe since the theft of more than US$65 million from a London bank in 1987.

Nationwide rallies against anti-terror laws held in Australia

November 5, 2005 A coordinated set of Australian protests against proposed anti-terror bills and calling on the withdrawal of troops from Iraq began in Sydney today. Approximately one thousand people gathered in Belmore Park in the center of the New South Wales capital for a rally and march through the city.

According to the protestors the new legislation may, if passed, may be used to suppress important civil liberties.

"These new laws are against dissent" said David Bernie, a speaker from the NSW Council for Civil Liberties. "We are seeing a big change. Now, ASIO questioning warrants, people subject to those are not allowed to talk about it for two years. Now, this is automatic, and it is automatic irrespective of whether there is any need for secrecy or not. So ASIO doesn't have to apply for any gag order, the gag order applies automatically. Its stops not only that person talking about it, but their lawyer talking about or the media talking about it."

Mr. Bernie said that under the laws, it may be a criminal act for family members to discuss the fact that a member of the same family had been secretly detained. "Would John Howard, if he was told by his son, 'I am safe but I can't tell you where I am', not tell Janette about it? It just is a ridiculous situation."

The Prime Minister has said that the new anti-terror legislation is justified because of the threat to Australia. Mr Howard said in an interview with John Laws on November 3 that he won't enjoy enacting laws that restrict civil liberties, but that it is necessary under the current circumstances.

"Now I don’t like the fact that we have to do this. I don’t like it at all. In many ways it’s as distasteful to me as it is to the most rampant civil libertarian in the country. But we are living in different times, and anybody who thinks that we’re not, is frankly, out of touch with reality. This country is not immune from the possibility of a terrorist attack. It is not. And people who think it is are just kidding themselves," Mr Howard said.

The rally was addressed by several other speakers including the Greens party Senator Kerry Nettle before setting out on a police escorted march through the streets of Sydney.

On return to Belmore Park further speeches took place, and the rally was concluded with a speech from Paul White from the Muslims for Peace organisation. He suggested that the notion that it was necessary for foreign troops to stay in Iraq to prevent civil war was false. "The historical fact is that Iraq has never had a history of sectarian conflict. Never, never, never. Sunnis and Shi'tes live all over Iraq, not just in the South and in fact they are heavily inter-married." he said. He suggested that most of the violence in Iraq was directly or indirectly the result of foreign intervention. "The real leaders of Iraq's Muslims are unanimous, Sunni and Shi'ite, in denouncing sectarian violence". He concluded, "The only solution to the chaos in Iraq is for all foreign troops to leave Iraq."

Talk:Nationwide rallies against anti-terror laws held in Australia

Original reporting
The convention for articles that contain original reporting (i.e. when a Wikinews contributor is reporting events that they personally witnessed, interviews, etc) is to add an "Original reporting" section at the top of the talk page with a brief description of what form the original reporting took. Everything in a Wikinews article needs to be sourced, and in the case of original reporting, the source is the Wikinews Contributor, and we know this because of their comments on the talk page. In this case, it appears that CitizenBruce attended the protest, observed, recorded the speeches, and made a rough count. Is this correct? - Borofkin 04:21, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Use of term "antiwar"
Is "antiwar" accurate? Anti-government seems a more justifiable description - there is no mention of any opposition to war, instead the only material provided is critical of the new anti-terror bills introduced to Parliament. --Skyring 07:10, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, anti-War on terror? - 24.85.85.76 07:14, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I thought of that, but it seems rather POV. I am sure that the protesters are not supporting terrorism, as would be implied. Looking at this ABC news story, the only mention of war is in the organising groups - quite plainly the protest was aimed at erosion of civil liberties and industrial reform. The attendance figure is shown as one thousand. --Skyring 07:16, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I actually did my own count. I counted approxiamately 148 ranks of 7 to 10 people which is probably a little over a thousand. --CitizenBruce 11:16, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree, the ant-terror focus muddies the waters. The laws are very topical at the moment. Note though that I have added some material which more direclty addressed the Iraq since you posted that comment (I think). --CitizenBruce 10:26, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Great picture!
Excellent article illustration! --Skyring 07:22, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks. All credit to the protester and whoever devised the idea (there was a group of them wearing the same gag). --CitizenBruce 10:26, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, great gag, huh? The "gag" picture is wonderful front page stuff. Powerful image, says volumes without a word. The crowd scene is blah. If you take a picture of a protest march the people aren't important - the banners tell the story. Get out in front, get the message on the main banner. In this shot none of the banners and placards are legible - it's just a bunch of people, some of them smiling at the camera. --Skyring 15:47, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Quote from howard
Great work with this article! I've added a quote from Howard to balance things out a bit.... - Borofkin 21:52, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Gorbachev warns against rapid globalization

November 7, 2005

Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has warned that rapid without governance has led to a growing gap between the world's rich and poor. He has also asserted that global cooperation is needed to address problems such as poverty, terrorism and environmental damage.

"We need new thinking for the new world," said Gorbachev during a speech last month at Miami University of Ohio in the United States. "You cannot make people happy by using tanks and missiles."

Gorbachev, leader of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991, has been credited with ending the Cold War. As Soviet leader, he implemented wide-ranging political and economic reforms. However, his reforms have been blamed for inadvertently causing the dissolution of the USSR in 1991.

In 1993, Gorbachev founded the, of which he was one of three major sponsors of the.

First television channel in Esperanto launches online

November 6, 2005 A new online television channel, Internacia Televido, has been launched following just over two years of fundraising and preparation. It is the first channel ever to be broadcast entirely through the international auxiliary language Esperanto, and was launched at midnight Brazilian time on Saturday night. The name means 'International Television'. The channel aims to create an international television network combining professional content with the collaboration of ordinary users from around the world. Programmes will range from news shows and documentaries to culture, educational programming and children's entertainment. The project, supported by the World Esperanto Association amongst others, was announced in October 2003 in São Paulo by Brazilian entrepreneur Flavio Rebelo, whose media business CIDCON also runs the Esperanto language web portal Ĝangalo (www.ghangalo.com, 'Jungle') and publishes music. The original intention was to establish a 24-hour streamed online channel, with four hours of original programming per day (repeated six times daily) and a daily news bulletin. A subsequent international fundraising campaign to raise the required sum of €35,000 to establish the channel involved Rebelo speaking at several Esperanto events throughout Europe during the early months of 2004 through the support of an anonymous Asian donor.

The project failed to garner sufficient funds to meet its original deadline, but in August this year Rebelo confirmed that a scaled-down version of the project would go ahead upon the sum of €23,000 being reached. The channel currently features 90 minutes of programming daily, with one weekly news bulletin, and three waged employees instead of the intended ten. It is intended that the channel will be funded past its initial six-month period through on-air advertising revenue and further private donations, and expanded as revenue permits.

Experimental television broadcasts in Esperanto were not first made until the advent of Internet technology. A previous online Esperanto TV project (www.esperanto.tv), under the auspices of the Italian Transnational Radical Party, failed to realise a finished product. Since the 1920s, radio broadcasts have been made regularly in Esperanto by broadcasters such as RAI, China Radio International and Radio Polonia.

Armed gunmen attack cruise ship off Somali coast

November 5, 2005 , a cruise ship sailing off the coast of Somalia, narrowly escaped an attack by gunmen believed to be.

The pirate attack occurred on Saturday, when two boats approached the ship and began firing automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenades, injuring one crew member.

The crew took evasive action and escaped safely by employing an acoustic bang which caused the gunmen to flee believing they were under fire.

302 passengers and crew, mostly from the United States, Canada, and Australia, were onboard when the gunmen opened fire. The attack took place 160km (100 miles) off the Somali coastline, which has a reputation for pirate activity.

Deborah Natansohn, president of the Seabourn Cruise Line told CNN Radio, "The occupants of those boats did not succeed in boarding the ship and eventually turned away ... our captain and crew did a terrific job taking responsive action."

Edith Laird, from Seattle, told the BBC, "My daughter saw the pirates out our window. [...] There were at least three that hit the ship, one in a stateroom four doors down from our cabin."

According to Mike Rogers, a passenger from Vancouver, the captain opted not to sound the alarm and instead announced the attack over the speakers, fearing the sound would drive people to the deck and place them in the line of fire.

Natansohn has stated that the company will re-evaluate future trips to the area.

The (SAP) is planning on highlighting the incident and its potential costs for tourism on Monday.

Pirate attacks have been an increasing problem in the area, with 23 hijackings and attempted seizures recorded by the International Maritime Bureau (IMB). Two of the attacks were on ships carrying aid for the United Nations. One attack involved a ship carrying 935 tons of rice for Asian tsunami victims. The crew had been held for three months before being released. According to the IMB, the pirates - mostly made up of the Horn of Africa's former navy as well as former fishermen - represent a serious threat to commercial shipping.

Somalia has been a volatile area since the ousting of former dictator Mohamed Said Barre. The country has been operating without a central administration since 1991 and is now controlled by warlords.

Australian media has speculated that the attack on the ship may be an act of terrorism rather than one of piracy.

A New Jersey Student attempts to hit a billion visitors
According to the website, it's not even had 2000 hits, and only had about 20 hits today. If it was getting a couple of hundred thousand hits per day, then it would be news. As it is, it's just spamvertising. 81.179.197.144 17:37, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Response- According to the website, it's just started it's way, and the statistics page says more than 2,000.

The article says : "aiming" not "recorded"

Tag as not news (or delete, but do something to get it off the front page). I first clicked on the story because I wanted to see what justified it having a spam-ish name (ambiguous use of "hit"), I was then doubly dissappointed when it turned out to be an article about a non-notable event, and the article is written in a spam-ish way. It doesn't tell you what's on the webpage, so wikinews readers are give a curiosity which will lead some to add to the page hits of the linked page. (Of course, I won't click. As a lead actor of Fahrenheit 9/11 said "Fool me once, shame on me.  Fool me once, but I won't be fooled again!") Bill3 21:28, 3 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 Andrea. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Andrea~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 23:13, 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.

First Iraq-Iran passenger flight in 25 years arrives in Tehran

The first Iraq-Iran passenger flight since war broke out between the two nations 25 years ago, has arrived safely in Tehran. The plane left Baghdad International Airport with 65 passengers and touched down in the Iranian capital a few hours later. It was an historic event, marking the end of a quarter-century of hostilities during which all flights from and to Iran were suspended by the former Ba'athist regime.

A spokesperson for the Iranian civil aviation authority, Reza Jafarzadeh, told Agence France Presse that there were plans to resume regular commercial flights from Baghdad to Tehran on November 16, although Iran would not consider flying its own aircraft to Iraq until the security situation was resolved.

Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told reporters that the "protection of Iraq's territorial integrity, independence and might is of special significance to Iran."

The United States and Britain have repeatedly accused Iran of allowing militants to cross its border to help Iraq's insurgents fight the US occupation. Earlier today, Major-General Jim Dutton, a British soldier commanding a multinational force in Basra, gave a press conference in Washington during which he claimed that insurgents were getting the technology to create increasingly sophisticated bombs from across the border.

Australian Members of Parliament removed from chamber again in rowdy session of Question Time

November 3, 2005 In what appears to be a continuing trend from the Australian House of Representatives Question Time session November 2, an further six Federal Opposition members and one Government member were ejected during and just after Question Time November 3.

Anthony Albanese, having been warned earlier to Question Time was the first removed, and after Opposition members had interjected "Boring, boring!" to an answer from the Australian Treasurer Peter Costello describing the Opposition stance on the industrial relations reform as a "scare campaign", the Speaker Neil Andrew issued a "general warning".

Wayne Swan, Tanya Plibersek|Tanya Plibersek, Jill Hall, Julia Irwin (who was also removed yesterday) were also asked to remove themselves under standing order 94(a).

When controversy arose after a question was asked to the Leader of the House, Tony Abbott, about the issue of distributing bills on the industrial relations changes and the Speaker intervened in favour of Abbott, he went on to say that Stephen Smith "took copies of the workplace relations bill, handed them to an adviser and then the adviser exited the chamber...he then raised a point of order claiming copies were not available". Graham Edwards said "You're a fraud, Abbott!" and he was also removed.

Later, when Smith rose after Question Time to make a personal explanation that he did not "[remove] nor [steal] 60 copies of the bill", Michael Ferguson had interjected and was removed -- the only Government member to be removed over the previous few days. Julia Gillard asked the Speaker that of the eighteen Opposition members and one Government member removed over the last two days, "whether 18:1...equals a fair application of the rules as to keeping order in the House", to which he said that "the last two days have been particularly noisy and...it has required more discipline than the chair would like to have to exercise."

User:Borofkin/Original reporting in Sydney

Original reporting is hard work - a single article can take hours. This is a page of resources and tips for Wikinews contributors who are doing, or thinking of doing, original reporting in Sydney.

Firstly, ask for help! Leave a message on the Australian discussion page asking people to contribute to your article. They may be able to track down media releases or find additional points-of-view that should be included.

If you have any tips feel free to add them to this page.

New South Wales Police Media Unit
The NSW Police Media Unit issues press releases on events in which the police are involved. These press releases are available to the general public, and may be used as sources on Wikinews.

 * Police Media Releases

To speak to the Media Unit directly call 61 (02) 82636100. They give information out to anyone.

Hansard (Transcripts of Parliament)
Everything said in all levels of parliament is recorded and appears on the government website very quickly, usually less than a day. You can write articles based on these transipts (known as Hansards), and it is considered original reporting.

 * Parliament of Australia: Hansard

Experts
To balance out your article, you could get an opinion from an expert. Universities usually have an Experts Database containing contact details for academics who are willing to comment to the media on their area of speciality. All you need to do is send them an email telling them who you are, and asking them a question. The worst they could do is ignore you.....

Politicians and government
Politicians! They love to get their head on camera and their comments in the news. They employ people whose sole job is to give comments to the media (who do you think is doing the talking when a newspaper reports that "A spokesman for the Prime Minister said that"... ? It's just the dude who answers the phone when someone rings up. And you don't need to pretend that you work for a big newspaper - they're trying to get their side out, so they talk to anyone.

See Sydney politicians for media releases and contact information.

All levels of government issue *heaps* of media releases every day. There may be one that relates to the article you are working on.

Indiana tornado kills at least 19

November 7, 2005

A tornado with winds up to 300 km/h has killed at least 19 in Indiana and Kentucky. The tornado touched down at around 2.00 AM local time on the 6th of November in northern Kentucky and then crossed the Ohio River into southern Indiana near, Indiana where the majority of casualties were reported. "At least five people were confirmed dead in and at least 18 were killed in, according to county officials."

Peak storm season for the region is generally April through June - a storm of this ferocity is quite rare at this time of year, according to the National Storm Prediction Centre.

The death toll varies between sources, but between 19 and 23 is the current estimate, with most of those in Indiana.

First casualty of French riots reported

November 7, 2005 Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec has been reported as the first casualty of recent rioting in France. The 61-year old man was beaten by a hooded rioter last week and had been in a coma since the attack.

The uprising was set off by the death of two teenagers who were allegedly chased by police and hid in an electric power station where they were electrocuted.

The French riots have further intensified over the past few days and are now said to have spread to nearly every city in the country.

The French prime minister, Dominique de Villepin, announced on Monday plans to allow the nation's regions to impose curfews. Mr. de Villepin appeared the day before on television with an appeal to end the violence.

The president, Jacques Chirac, ended his silence on the rioting on Saturday, when he spoke to the press. "Those who want to sow violence or fear will be caught, tried and punished," he said. "But we also understand very well that we must move towards respect for each individual, justice and equality of opportunity. We are all completely determined to go down this road and pursue the efforts that are already under way in this domain."

The Minister of the Interior, Nicolas Sarkozy, called for a radical overhaul of the French social model that he said, "in every aspect, needs to be fundamentally rebuilt." On the same day, various people  discovered that UMP, the political party of Nicolas Sarkozy had bought the Google AdWords 'banlieue' (suburbs) to advertise their own website on google.fr.

Arrests in the rioting total nearly 1200 following the deaths of two youths on October 27. The unrest, which started in a Paris suburb, has spread to over 270 towns across France. More than 4300 cars have been torched across the country, and 2 schools were burned.

Talk:First casualty of French riots reported

This should probably just be deleted as the original submitter put in no content and simply mangled a sources line. However, there is a story - with a different headline. French violence hits fresh peak. Brianmc 15:57, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:First Iraq-Iran passenger flight in 25 years arrives in Tehran

I have what I'd consider an open question on this article. Namely, should the first commercial flight be lumped in with cross-border issues to do with insurgency? Brianmc 19:26, 7 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 Bytor130. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bytor130~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 23:12, 17 March 2015 (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 Peturr. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Peturr~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 23:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
