Howard's 10 year party gatecrashed
Hi Goldiemicky - this is a great original reporting article. It's a pity it couldn't be published sooner. Unfortunately the issue of the cross-posting to Indymedia delayed things. There is still confusion as to which article was created first and therefore which license the content is under. It looks as though the article can still be published as it currently stands, however if you could do one of these two things it would clear things up completely:
 * Place a statement on the article talk page verifying that you most definitely posted the content to Wikinews before it was posted to Indymedia, and therefore the content is licensed under CC-A 2.5, or
 * Have the article on Indymedia changed to indicate that it is licensed under CC-A 2.5 (or public domain, etc), rather than a non-commercial license.

I don't think the article is yet out of date, and I'd like for it to be published and then appear as a lead on the Australian portal. - Borofkin 04:50, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

South Korean regulators fine Microsoft $32 million

December 7, 2005

South Korean antitrust regulators fined the Microsoft company 33 billion Won (US$32m). It also ordered Microsoft to make substantial changes to the Windows operating system. Regulators demanded that Microsoft produce two different versions of Microsoft Windows within 180 days.

 * One version must be stripped of the Windows Media Player and instant messenger software.
 * The other version must come with links to Web pages that allow consumers to download competing versions of such software, the commission said.

These regulations will be in effect for the next ten years, but after five years Microsoft can request a review of the market.

A Microsoft spokesman said the company would appeal the decision in court.

"We are very disappointed with the commission's decision," said Tom Burt, a Microsoft vice president and deputy general counsel. "Ultimately, we will file a lawsuit in Korean court challenging the decision."

Similarily in March of last year, Microsoft was ordered by the European Union to pay €497 million for antitrust violations. Microsoft was also asked to share Windows operating system code with other companies and offer Windows without the media player.

Microsoft is also appealing this ruling.

Asylum seeker hunger strike enters seventh week

December 7, 2005

UPDATE: Chinese Asylum Seeker Ends Hunger Strike After 54 Days.

A Chinese man in Australian immigration detention is still refusing food, seven weeks after starting his hunger strike.

Jen Wen Zhang, a detainee at Sydney's Villawood Immigration Detention Centre, has refused food since October 20. Mr Zhang and five other Chinese asylum seekers began the strike in protest at Australia's Mandatory Detention policy. Five of the six hunger strikers ended their protest in November.

The Department of Immigration (DIMIA) says Mr Zhang is continuing his hunger strike after being hospitalised a fortnight ago. Now back in Villawood he is being closely monitored. A DIMMIA spokesperson said Mr Zhang was being urged to end his strike. The government continues to resist Mr Zhang's protest. "As the minister said, his actions will not influence his migration status or outcomes," said the spokesperson.

Victorian Greens refugees spokesman, Peter Job, has been speaking to Mr Zhang, and said the asylum seeker is determined to continue to strike despite his ailing health. Mr Job said Mr Zhang believes he was denied a fair hearing from the Immigration Department and the Refugee Review Tribunal, but was taking political action for all detained asylum seekers.

"He felt he had no option but to fight in the only way he could, with his body," said Mr Job. "But above all, he spoke of his dread of long-term detention, telling of waking continually in the morning with a sense of profound despair and foreboding due to his incarceration, and telling me he feared the mental health damage he had seen in so many long-term detainees," he said.

Mr Job says he has tried to convince Mr Zhang to stop the hunger strike, but says he is in a desperate state. "He is very upset, he feels that he will be in great danger if he returns to China," Mr Job said. "He said he'd rather die here in Australia than go back to China, where he's convinced he'll be persecuted.

Refugee Action Coalition (RAC) spokesman Ian Rintoul said the Immigration Department has been riddled with problems and too often rejected long-term detainees who are genuine refugees.

"The government itself has recognised there have been many mistakes in the department's processes, there have been many problems with the way asylum seekers have been dealt with," Mr Rintoul said. "That's why we're desperately trying to urge the government to intervene in this particular case."

Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone said in mid November that the Government has done all it can for the Chinese asylum seeker. "I don't support this kind of protest, I don't think anyone does, I recognise the risk it can play for the protesters themselves," she said. "I've written to them urging them to get off their protest and making it clear to them that the Government doesn't consider cases while people are engaging in this sort of potentially very harmful protest."

Another Villawood detainee, Motahar Hussein, says Mr Zheng's health has drastically deteriorated and suspects that vital organs have experienced permanent damage.

"Though DIMIA continuously attempts to devise creative ways of crushing Mr. Jun Wen Zhang's spirit, he will not be easily intimidated," said Mr Hussein in a media release. "He is willing and determined to continue with his peaceful and civilised protest. He believes he has no other option. He finds himself compelled to do so by the Howard Government's policy of inhumane and indefinite detention. He is prepared to continue to the supreme and utmost sacrifice of his own life, hopefully, in an attempt to expose DIMIA's attitude of injustice and corruption."

Talk:US Secretary Rice responds to European enquiries on alleged CIA prisons

Actually, my understannding is that no recent terrorist laws have yet produced any significant information anyplace, which has actually been released to the public and identified as comming from someone detained under such laws. Anyone know where updated information on this might be found? Its easy to find cases where the U.S. has detained the wrong person under such terrorist laws, *and* publicized that it had cought a terrorist using such laws, only later to be forece to release them, but I'm not sure how well that fits into the current article.

Microsoft sued due to case of Xbox 360s overheating

December 7, 2005 A Chicago owner of an console is filing a  against Microsoft, the company that manufactured the console. The lawsuit is based on the widely circulated claims that the console overheats, resulting in complete lockups of the system or various error messages.

Robert Bryers, the man who has brought this lawsuit against Microsoft, claims that the company rushed the console to market to beat competitor releases. He further claims that this rushed release resulted in the company including a faulty and  that overheats, resulting in the damage of heat-sensitive chips within the console. Microsoft denies that the problems are widespread.

The lawsuit, filed on Friday in an Illinois federal court, seeks unspecified damages and legal fees, as well as a recall and replacement of the affected consoles.

Passenger claims to have bomb, killed by air marshals at Miami International Airport

December 7, 2005

A United States federal air marshal shot dead on Wednesday an American Airlines passenger named Rigoberto Alpizar on American Airlines Flight 924, a Boeing 757, at Miami International Airport, in Miami, Florida, USA.

The 44-year-old passenger ran out of the door of the airplane after he reboarded the plane, following a customs check in Miami. He was intercepted by the marshals before reaching the jetway and told to get on the ground. According to Air Marshal Service spokesman Dave Adams, the passenger did so, but then reached for a bag, at which point a marshal fired two or three shots and killed the passenger. The passengers recall that they heard up to six shots.

The marshals say Alpizar claimed that he was carrying a bomb before being killed. No other witness has publicly concurred with that account, although one passenger recalled Alpizar saying, "I've got to get off, I've got to get off." No bomb was found when authorities searched the airplane.

The shots were fired in the boarding bridge — the corridor that connects the aircraft to the terminal. Reports also indicate SWAT teams surrounded the plane. According to CNN, a federal official indicated that this is the first time an air marshal has fired a weapon near an airplane.

Alpizar was a Costa Rican native who became a U.S. citizen and lived in Maitland, an Orlando suburb. The 44-year-old passenger was returning from Quito, Ecuador to Orlando, Florida. The plane was en-route to Orlando from Medellin, Colombia.

MSNBC reports that another passenger, Mary Gardner, told a local TV station, WTVJ-TV, that the man started "running crazily through the aisle", as a woman travelling with him ran after yelling that her husband suffered from bipolar disorder and had not taken his medication.

Federal Air Marshals are deployed on flights to deal with security threats on board U.S. air carriers. Following the revamping of domestic security after the World Trade Center attacks, the service was directed to increase its deployment from about fifty to several thousand marshals. In response, the marshal training program was modified and abbreviated, from the original fourteen weeks to five weeks for candidates without prior law enforcement experience and one week for trainees with such experience.

Talk:Passenger claims to have bomb, killed by air marshals at Miami International Airport

"Air Marshal" has 1 l.
 * Indeed it does. Fixed, thanks for the tip. --Deprifry|+T+ 20:30, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Just wanted to mention that the links to the AP story and the Miami Herald staff story may continue to be updated as the story develops, the story text referenced by those links has already changed a few times since I posted them about 4:30 PM Eastern time. Also, if someone has other streaming links besides the one to WFOR-TV, please add them, I think it will be especially interesting to wikinews users. Thanks, Carl, Southern Students for Choice

I'm willing to bet that the Guy was a Drug Mule and one of his "packets" that he had in his body exploded and caused his sudden Psychosis. Since the flight was from Columbia (a known source of Cocaine, thought this doesn't rule out other possible illegal drugs.) i'm betting that he wasn't bipolar, rather he got a massive OD of Drugs.Cantthinkofausername 23:58, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Hmm such bs I have to read here, first of all, you just assume because the original flight was from Colombia the guy had to be a mule! freaking wrong! Not only the guy had flown in a different flight from Quito, Ecuador, connecting to Miami where he changed planes to this one, and was not carrying any drugs or bombs. There is no connection to Colombia in this story to begin with.64.202.132.202)

It seems that the wikipedia article on this topic has more/better information. I'm not familiar with wikinews and its associated policies, but it seems like somebody might want to take some of the content from the wikipedia article and integrate it. --Squigish from wikipedia 02:48, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Self professed bomb carrier shot
If anyone says they have a bomb and they are acting irrationaly around any plane my family or I are on or about to be on, I want them dead. No chances to blow themselves up. No pc bullshit about what their intentions really were. gwkirk

good. then mabye the next time your having a bad day somone will shoot you. Do you not find it a LITTLE strange that NO BOMB WAS FOUND!! Do sheep like you eat up every bit of half truth fed to you?

He said he had a bomb. That has been confirmed by multiple witnesses who have nothing to gain by fabricating such statements. I would take that seriously. He forfeits the benefit of the doubt by such a statement. Or should we wait until someone detonates a bomb to confirm its existance?ChiTwnG 20:38, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Sheep allow themselves to be slaughtered.

 * Guys, I would argue that this "discussion" has nothing to do with the work on the article. --Deprifry|+T+ 16:11, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I think that's fine. Part of news is talking about the news. As long as it doesn't end up getting into personal, racial, etc insults. -- IlyaHaykinson 16:17, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm just afraid that it is going right into this direction. --Deprifry|+T+ 16:20, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Is that the best you have? "Sheep allow themselves to be slaughtered." well for starters - no they do not, which proves your ignorace of a topic. But my point was that there are too many holes in this story to accept it as fact. Let me clairfy, not the person writing it here, but the sources themselves. This really seems like the equilivant of "yep we shot'em but quick - - look over there!"

Did not claim to have bomb
According to a CNN.com report no one but the air marshals claim he shouted he had a bomb. The marshals say Alpizar announced he was carrying a bomb before being killed. However, no other witness has publicly concurred with that account. Only one passenger recalled Alpizar saying, "I've got to get off, I've got to get off," CNN's Kathleen Koch reported.

Okay, I've changed the emphasis to reflect that only the air marshal's are claiming this. I bet you he didn't say "he had a bomb", but just went nuts & thought someone else had one, or something. He had just been through lots of security after all. The air marshals probably only just heard him say bomb & panicked. Nyarlathotep 22:50, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Editing the title
It was mentioned before, that no one, except the Air Marshal, claimed that Mr. Alpizar actually had a bomb. So therefore, "Passenger claims to have bomb, (...)" in the title needs to be changed. --Ran J. 13:27, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

British schoolgirl told to return home for wearing crucifix

December 7, 2005

Sixteen-year-old Sam Morris was suspended from school this week for wearing a crucifix, a well known Christian symbol. A student of the Sinfin Community School in Derby, she was told by the school's deputy headmaster, Howard Jones, to remove the crucifix around her neck. After refusing to do so, trouble began to erupt.

Mr. Jones talked to the girl for up to 30 minutes, trying to convince her to take off the crucifix. However, the pupil, who is studying for her GCSE exams, did not waver and continued to wear it. It was then that Mr. Jones decided to give the girl a one-day suspension as a "last resort," saying that Sam violated the school's jewelry policy.

Debra Saunders, the student's mother, was unhappy about the situation and wonders if the school is trying to discriminate against Christians. Sikh students are permitted to wear bracelets called karas, which are a mandatory part of their religion.

"She thinks it's very unfair when other people are allowed to wear religious symbols," Sam's mother said, referring to her daughter. "It just ends up creating a divide between the pupils. Everyone is being told that they should be living in unity, but this rule is not right. Sam has just as much right to celebrate her own religion."

Mr. Jones, the school's deputy headmaster, disagrees, saying that the school's policy is "even-handed and fair." He went on to say the following, "As a Christian, I don't have to wear a crucifix but Sikhs don't have that option and we have to be understanding. We live in a multi-faith society."

The Derby City Council also weighed in on the matter. One of their spokespeople stated, "It is lawful to ban crucifixes while allowing other religious symbols, but whether it is desirable is another matter." The spokesperson went on to say, "For some people, wearing a crucifix could be a deeply religious gesture, which is why personal needs should be taken into account."

In the meantime, Sam has returned to school, sans crucifix.

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

Opposition motions in Australian House of Representatives attempts to bring Government to account on last sitting day of year

December 8, 2005

On the last sitting day of the year in Federal Parliament, the Opposition opened with three successive motions to attempt to bring the Government to account over the major issues that the Government has faced over the last fortnight.

The motions to suspend standing orders was first put by Wayne Swan (the shadow Treasurer) dealt with the Treasurer Peter Costello, calling on him to release documents and information regarding Robert Gerard; the following two put by Kevin Rudd (the shadow Foreign Minister) and (the member for Corio) dealt with the Government's involvement in the Australian Wheat Board inadvertently paying money to a front business of Saddam Hussein.

The Government with their House majority moved that these speakers and their necessary seconders be no longer heard (the 'gag'), and voted down the motions.

Voluntary student unionism bill passes Australian House of Representatives, enters Senate

December 8, 2005

The bill on voluntary student unionism, as proposed earlier by the Federal Government education minister Brendan Nelson passed the House of Representatives on December 7 and is now to be debated in the Senate. The Higher Education Support Amendment (Abolition of Compulsory Up-Front Student Union Fees) Bill 2005, commonly known as "voluntary student unionism" or VSU, will have the effect of removing the automatic joining of university students into their respective unions, and the consequent abolition of the payment of union fees. These fees go towards amenities and services provided the student unions. The Federal Australian Labor Party Opposition, which had originally opposed the introduction of VSU, changed its policy which originally supported automatic unionism of students and compulsory fees, to a stance supporting only retainment of amenity and services fees.

The bill was read a second time on December 6, with Opposition members such as Brendan O'Connor highlighting the perceived Government ideological reasons for the pursuit of this bill, stating that the minister "wants to be seen as an ideological warrior", and also explains the reason for the Opposition's shift in policy -- that "it takes the student political dimension, which seems to be the obsession of the government, out of the equation, and focuses on the services". One Government member, Peter Lindsay, had noted in response to this, stating that when VSU was introduced in Western Australia "the world did not end, the services continued to be provided...In fact, more services were provided because the student associiations had to be responsive to the needs of the students so they could get students, of their own free will, to decide to pay a student association fee".

A heated exchange followed between the next speaker Kelvin Thomson, Lindsay, and the deputy Speaker Robert Baldwin, over a comment "Why should students have to pay for outsiders to use a sporting facility? Why? The member for Wills [Kelvin Thomson] cannot explain that." which Thompson said "provoked" him. Thomson's speech further criticised Brendan Nelson's proposal for a "campus-by-campus ballot", noting "the great deal of opposition everywhere it has been put", the Financial Review description as a plan which "pleases no-one". Alby Schultz, from the Government, had remarked on the "Senate Employment, Workplace Relations and Education Committee inquiry suggested that...some student unions were badly run and gave poor service to the majority of students", and that the money gathered from students "sell[ed] a political agenda which many of the students-and I would say the majority of students-would not subscribe to personally or ideologically", citing examples of the National Union of Students support for the Baxter detention center protest earlier this year.

Further Government and Opposition members continued the debate until 9 pm in the evening of December 6, where debate was adjourned for the day.

On December 7 the Leader of the House Tony Abbott moved a guillotine on this debate, where either at 12 noon or at the conclusion of the second reading debate, whichever comes first, the question should be put, and one hour be allotted for consideration in detail and conclusion of other stages of the bill. Deputy Leader of the Opposition Jenny Macklin in response called the movement of the bill "unadulterated ideology...from this power-drunk government". In the second reading debate, Brendan Nelson provided summary remarks after the two preceding speakers, stating that "that students should be free to choose what services they will purchase with their money and what organisations they will join", and that the compulsory payment "is a flat tax. The students from the poorest families pay exactly the same as those from the wealthiest, and we think that this is one of the few anachronisms which remain to be addressed".

In the consideration in detail stage, an amendment proposed by the independent Tony Windsor aimed to confine the use of fees for academic and recreational purposes only, which failed as there were fewer than five in support for the amendment. Opposition amendments were moved by Macklin after that to achieve the Oppositions views on VSU, but a Government member Sophie Panopoulos termed the amendments "a fraud" and "taxation without representation". The Opposition amendments failed due to Government numbers.

The bill subsequently passed the House of Representatives 78 to 58, and the Senate December 7 received the bill on the same day, and due to standing orders, will be debated at the next period of sittings, which will be early next year.

December 8, 2005

These are some short blurbs about current events in the business world.

New York Stock Exchange to merge with Archipelago Holdings
The 213 year old New York Stock Exchange voted to merge with Archipelago Holdings Inc. The merger will change the NYSE from a non-profit organization into a for-profit publicly traded company. About 90 percent of the 1,366 members of the NYSE's board voted, with 95 percent voting in favor of the merger. The new company will be named NYSE Group Inc. with the symbol NYX.

Mexican illegal immigrants had jobs in home country
Most of the estimated 6.3 million Mexican illegal immigrants who have crossed the U.S.-Mexican border had jobs back in Mexico according to a survey by the Pew Hispanic Center. "Thus, failure to find work at home does not seem to be the primary reason that the estimated 6.3 million undocumented migrants from Mexico have come to the U.S. Policies aimed at reducing migration pressures by improving economic conditions in Mexico may also need to address factors such as wages, job quality, long-term prospects, and perceptions of opportunity," the survey authors wrote. The Center surveyed 4,836 Mexicans showing that only 5 percent who had been in the United States for two years or less were jobless in Mexico. The survey was conducted in Spanish at Mexican consulates in 7 US cities over 7 months. The survey reported that new crossovers are less likely to work on a farm. Most modern crossovers work in construction, hospitals, and manufacturing.

Talk:British schoolgirl told to return home for wearing crucifix

The article is POV & sensationalist. At first glance, my feeling is that a major rewrite is needed, but experence suggests that POV-accusers always overestimate the size of the rewrite required. :) - Nyarlathotep 02:55, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Its about some subtle issue of local law, but the explination of the law is inadequate, and specifically targeted to offend Christians.. its not even clear if it is a law per se. No information on the size of the crucifix is give; France bans headscarfs and large crusifixes, but allows small crosses.
 * Quite a bit of the language is judgmental/POV too.

 * This was my first major article contribution to Wikinews, so please forgive me if the POV is not to your liking or appears biased. To be honest, I just tried my best to go off of the information contained in the sources. The sources that I found do not cite any specific law, they just mention school policy and quote a spokesperson from the Derby City Council. As far as the size of the crucifix goes, it was most likely only a few inches, since the schoolgirl wore it around her neck.

 * I tried to stay neutral by giving quotes from all sides (the school official, the mother and the Derby City Council). In your opinion, which specific areas in the article need revising? It would help if you could provide some examples. Sawran 03:48, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Sawran, this is a very good first Wikinews article. It's a very controversial topic, so it will probably attract a lot of attention and POV debate... remember to not take it personally, and work with people on the talk page (as you have clearly been doing). Well doned! - Borofkin 04:41, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comment, Borofkin. I am certainly open to debate and willing to change the article if it needs revising. I appreciate the fact that Nyarlathotep started a discussion here on the talk page instead of just going in and editing the article without asking. The next time I work on a controversial article, I will wait a bit longer before publishing it. Sawran 05:11, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Australian government paves way for nuclear waste dump in Northern Territory

December 8, 2005 The Australian Senate has passed legislation to force a national dump on the Northern Territory (NT). Despite opposition from Aboriginal land owners, the NT government, environment groups and Labor the can now officially build a nuclear waste repository in the NT after the legislation for the waste dump passed the Senate today. The Radioactive Waste Management Bill was passed with 34 in favour and 29 against.

The two bills override the Northern Territory's objection to the radioactive waste dump after the government opposed a previous preferred site near. According to Federal Labor opposition MP, Warren Snowdon, it is the first time since 1978 that Territory law has been overridden. "It's an absolute disaster and it shows contempt for the Northern Territory community, it shows absolute contempt for land use planning in the Northern Territory," he said.

The has been a resolute opponent of the plan, saying a nuclear dump will expose residents to a new security threat.

The Chief Minister of the Northern Territory,, says transporting nuclear waste to the Territory would make it vulnerable to terrorists looking to make a. Ms Martin says experts on the issue have raised concerns about security at a national nuclear waste facility.

She says scientific debate played no part in the Federal Government's decision to build a dump in the Territory and nuclear waste could be a target while it is being moved to the Territory. "You'd have to look at how far around a country you're going to be transporting things like intermediate nuclear level waste," she said.

"And if you're going to put such a nuclear facility in the middle of central Australia you've got to get the waste there by road and that's thousands of kilometres." She says the Commonwealth should not expect any cooperation from her Government.

The 's (ANSTO) Craig Pierce says there would be no point trying to use low level waste to make a dirty bomb because the waste is mostly gloves and labcoats. "It simply would make no sense to get this material and want to blow it up," he said. "It would have no impact at all. On the intermediate level, that will have a high level of security when it is transported. It won't be transported for very far on road, on land, and it will have an appropriate level of security."

The said it expected community anger would escalate, now the bills had passed. "Last year the federal government gave the people of the NT an absolute categorical assurance there would be no dump in the NT," ACF nuclear campaigner Dave Sweeney said. "Today they have broken this promise and bulldozed through bad law in an attempt to gag community concern."

"Under the government's proposal, 130 truckloads of radioactive waste would be driven from Sydney's Lucas Heights reactor, through NSW, to an as-yet unnamed site in the NT in the first year alone, with dumping to continue for decades," he said.

The say the legislation could be manipulated to allow waste from other countries to be stored in the Northern Territory. The party is angry that amendments they proposed were not considered when the bill was passed. says the legislation is not strong enough.

"In the bill, there were some provisions to supposedly keep out international waste," she said. "We don't think they go far enough and that they are open to manipulation and interpretation. So what we were trying to do is absolutely positively ensure that international waste will not be brought into this facility."

The NT Environment Centre's Gary Scott has hinted at civil disobedience similar to that seen during the anti-uranium mining protests at. "I don't think Territorians are going to take this lying down unless that is in front of bulldozers," Mr Scott said.

The Centre’s Peter Robertson has emphasised the importance of the waste dump for the federal government to realise its plans for a second nuclear reactor. "If we get the dump, Sydney gets the reactor". Establishing a national waste dump is a precondition for the operating license for the proposed which will replace  in Sydney.

Robertson pointed out that the issue of waste is creating an international crisis for the nuclear industry, with no storage plans for the more than 250,000 tonnes of high-level radioactive waste currently in existence.

A detailed study of three Defence sites - Fishers Ridge, 43 km south-east of, Harts Range, 100 km north-east of , and Mount Everard, 27 km north-west of Alice Springs - will be conducted next year, with the facility to be operational by 2011.

Traditional owners of Athenge Alhere - an estate group of the Arrernte Nation - have voiced their dissent to the nuclear dump and say they don’t want waste from Sydney's Lucas Heights nuclear reactor brought to their land. "Because the land we take care of, because all our ancestors lived in this land and hunted on this land as well, so it's mainly because of the animals and the next generation of our kids and their children, so we still say no," traditional owner Benedict Stevens said.

Coalition MPs, including Northern Territory senator Nigel Scullion, secured a number of amendments to the bill. They included the ability of the NT government and indigenous land councils to decide on other site options, a prohibition on the storage of high level and overseas waste and the free storage of the NT's own waste.

The South Australian Government says tenacity staved off a nuclear dump on its land. SA Environment Minister, John Hill, says there could be a federal election before the facility's finally built. "It will take them some time to construct this facility and that gives you some opportunities," he said.

Mr Hill says waste should be stored closer to in Sydney where it is generated. Radioactive waste is currently stored at over 100 locations across the country, including in hospital basements in major capital cities and at universities.

Update: NT farmers have threatened to take action if a site near their farms is selected for the dump. Fishers Ridge, south of Katherine, is one of three Commonwealth sites earmarked for the facility. Sharon Shaw's farm 12 kilometres from the Fishers Ridge site. "The thing that worries us the most, it's on top of a Tindal Aquifer which really concerns us in the fact that there's many sink holes that turn up every wet as the ground is always shifting," she said. "Any normal person without an environmental degree or anything would realise that this ground is unstable."

USA under pressure at climate talks

December 8, 2005

The European Union, Canada, Indonesia and other nations at the United Nations' climate talks in Montreal have put pressure on the United States. Participants at the meeting want the US to join the global Kyoto pact to limit greenhouse gas emissions, to curb extreme weather predictions from global warming.

Environment ministers from over 90 countries are meeting to break a deadlock over how to entice the United States, and other large developing nations such as India and China, to cut production of greenhouse gases. Washington has rejected the pact, saying mandatory emissions cuts would harm its economy.

The United States defended its policy of investing billions of dollars in cleaner technology to reduce emissions, brushing aside calls for it to commit to U.N. discussions on slowing climate change.

At the heart of the Montreal meeting is how to cut emissions after 2012, when the first phase of the Kyoto Protocol climate change pact ends.

Schwarzenegger heads back to work after feeling ill, being hospitalized

December 8, 2005

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican governor of California, bodybuilder and famous Hollywood celebrity, was hospitalized this week around midnight local time, at the advice of his doctor. He was taken to the UC Davis Medical Center due to a rapid heartbeat and symptoms of the stomach flu.

Hours after being admitted to the hospital, Schwarzenegger was released and has returned to work. Schwarzenegger, who is 58 years of age, underwent surgery in 1997 related to a valve in his heart.

Spokesperson Margita Thompson has stated that, "He was observed for a few hours and released. He's feeling fine this morning and is in the office working." She went on to say that a rapid heart beat is fairly common for the type of heart procedure that he had done in the past.

Baseball: Nationals get Soriano from Rangers for Wilkerson, Sledge, prospect

December 8, 2005

The Washington Nationals completed a trade late Wednesday night that sent outfielders and  and minor league pitcher Armando Galarraga to the  for All-Star second baseman Alfonso Soriano.

Soriano batted .268 with 36 homers, 104 RBIs and 30 stolen bases last season while earning $7.5 million. He is a career .280 hitter, with a .320 on-base percentage and an OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) of .820. Soriano turns 30 in January and his contract ends after the 2006 season.

For the Nationals, Wilkerson batted .248 last year with 11 homeruns and 57 RBIs, but was sidelined for part of the season with a forearm injury. For his career, he is a .256 hitter with a .365 on-base percentage and an .817 OPS. He made just over $3 million in 2005, and he turns 29 in June of 2006.

Sledge only played 20 games in 2005 because he tore his hamstring, but he is most well-known in Washington for hitting the first homerun in Nationals history.

ESPN is reporting that the Nationals may play Soriano in the outfield because they already have Jose Vidro, a career .300 hitter, at second base. Vidro missed almost half of the 2005 season with leg problems.

Council of Europe planning to use satellite images in prisons probe

December 8, 2005

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Europe's leading human rights watchdog group, plans to use satellite images and flight logs as part of its investigation into claims that the United States maintains secret prisons in Europe.

The European Union (EU) has granted PACE access to EU archived satellite images and flight logs to help determine whether aircraft linked with CIA secret detention centers have been using European airspace.

According to Human Rights Watch, a humanitarian rights group based in New York, "CIA airplanes traveling from Afghanistan in 2003 and 2004 made direct flights to remote airfields in Poland and Romania."

Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

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! --Cspurrier 17:26, 8 December 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 Dumber. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dumber~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 23:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
