Microsoft releases Internet Explorer 9 browser

March 18, 2011

At 9:00 p.m. PDT Monday (0400 UTC Tuesday), rolled out the first stable Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) release, available in 39 languages, for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Internet Explorer is the most used web browser, responsible for 56% of webpage hits. The new version adds support for new technologies with relation to the specification and several feature changes. The browser was released as a beta with a campaign promoting the benefits of HTML5.

It includes support for SVG and the HTML5 canvas, audio, and video tags. It has a failing Acid3 score of 95/100, below Mozilla Firefox 4.0's 97/100, rating and the 100/100 in Google Chrome 10. The program is the first of its series not to run on Microsoft. It includes a redesigned layout of the address bar and the ability to pin sites to the taskbar on, along with several minor improvements.

The browser received mixed reviews. "IE9 as a Consumer Browser — Not Worth It," Jason Mick,, concluded. A study by on Tuesday showed that IE9's Tracking Protection Lists, an optional anti-tracking feature, may mislead users. "We're disappointed with the way these lists work, and feel consumers who install multiple lists could be left with a false sense of security." Dr. Rob Reid, Which? Policy senior advisor, said.

In a more positive review, a reviewer said that the positives of the new browser outweighed the negatives, and it is "a major improvement over its predecessor."

The announcement comes after the company launched a campaign to get usage down to 1%. Microsoft delayed the Japanese release "to reduce load on network bandwidth at such a critical time" with reference to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan this past Friday.

Thread:Comments:Dying Canadian infant moved to U.S. hospital for medical treatment/Comments from feedback form - "What is MailOnLine? And what i..."/reply (3)

There is an insinuation from the headline that the child had to be transferred to the U.S. in order to receive medical treatment. The reality was that the child was already receiving more than adequate, dare I say exemplary, medical treatment in Canada prior to this move. The headline could easily have been written "Hysterical parents engineer medical abuse on their brain-dead child". The situation is simple. It is the struggle of knowledge and sense vs. selfishness and emotion. What if the parents had demanded that the child's genitals be altered so that he looked more like a girl, because the parents wanted a replacement for the daughter they lost previously. Would that have been acceptable? No. Because one of the tenets of good medicine is not to perform treatments which can do no good. Everyone acknowledges that this child will be dead soon. Performing a tracheotomy on this child is unnecessary and constitutes medical abuse.

Six killed and hundreds injured in Bahrain

March 16, 2011

Government security forces and Saudi Arabian troops have killed at least six protesters and injured around a thousand others in Bahrain.

Protesters have expressed their objection to any foreign intervention within Bahrain. One protester said that security forces "fired tear gas and then opened fire. ... We lifted our arms and started saying ‘Peaceful, peaceful.’ Then we had to run away."

Live ammunition was fired by soldiers both on the ground and in helicopters, who attacked people in at least five villages. According to a medical source speaking to, buckshot was used against some of the victims. People have put up barricades in the capital of in order to obstruct the path of troops.

In addition to protests elsewhere, several thousand demonstrators marched to the Saudi embassy, following the military intervention of Saudi Arabia. Chants of "[d]own, down with !" were made in response to Bahrain's ruler's actions against protesters.

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

Japanese emperor makes live television appearance after earthquake

March 16, 2011

, the emperor of Japan, has made a live appearance on national television saying he was "deeply worried" after the earthquake and tsunami that hit last Friday. The emperor made his announcement shortly after technicians working to stabilise a nuclear plant temporarily abandoned it as radiation started to surge.

The emperor's appearance caused television stations to interrupt scheduled programming.

The 77 year-old is deeply respected in Japan.

A statement by the Imperial household said Emperor Akihito and want to visit the area affected by the tsunami, but the important thing now is rescuing the victims. In 1995 the emperor and empress visited after an  struck and killed 6,400 people.

Owsley Stanley, icon of 1960s counterculture, dies at 76

March 17, 2011

, mass-producer of, the  underlying much  of the culture of the , died Sunday in a car accident in Australia at the age of 76, his family announced on Tuesday. According to The New York Times, "Mr. Stanley lent the ’60s a great deal of its color — like White Lightning, Monterey Purple and Blue Cheer, the varieties of his LSD that were among the most popular."

Stanley, a talented, self-taught chemist who was known for the purity of his LSD, supplied the drug to such music groups as the, the , and , and provided the acid for and his , whose antics were recorded by  in the. The once called his acid "the best LSD in the world … the genuine Owsley."

He was also an early sound engineer and designed the high-fidelity sound system for the live rock concerts of  the Grateful Dead, known as the  “wall of sound”. It was essentially  a massive public address system made up of 600 speakers that enabled  musicians to mix their sound from the stage and reduce distortion. His recordings of  Grateful Dead live performances, some having been commercially released,  are valued as a documentary of their early music.

, formerly the tour manager of the Rolling Stones, said of Stanley: "He was a very sophisticated man, an amalgam of scientist and engineer, chemist and artist."

Stanley was born in Kentucky and studied engineering briefly at the  before dropping out and joining the. In 1958, he moved to California and worked at a wide variety of jobs, before enrolling at the in 1963, at a time when drug use was pervasive. He got his first taste of LSD in April 1964 which transformed him. "I remember the first time I took acid and walked outside, and the cars were kissing the parking meters," he said in an interview with the in 2007.

Deciding to provide his own LSD to ensure its quality, Stanley created his own lab to produce it. According to The Washington Post, "Working at first from a makeshift bathroom laboratory in Berkeley, Mr. Stanley produced at least 1 million doses of LSD between 1965 and 1967." His LSD was widely distributed. The lab was raided and he spent two years in prison.

Stanley moved to Australia in the 1980s when he become convinced the would be destroyed in the coming of a new. He lived in the Australian  near, Queensland.

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

CIA contractor released from Pakistan

March 17, 2011

Raymond Davis, a contractor for the CIA, has been released from Pakistan after a ruling by a Pakistani court. He was detained after killing two citizens carrying weapons on January 27, 2011. Davis was freed after agreements to pay "" as compensation for the two lives were handled.

Blood money, defined as compensation paid by a murderer, is required under. CIA official George Little said, "When issues arise, it's our standing practice to work through them. That's the sign of a healthy partnership—one that's vital to both countries." John Kerry, a Massachusetts senator, said, "This was a very important and necessary step for both of our countries to be able to maintain our relationship."

After the ruling, a group of protestors demonstrated against the release in Lahore, Pakistan, and the United States government flew Davis out of the country. Asad Manzoor Butt, the attorney for the victims, said that the money was paid after hours of discussion with Americans.

According to a US official, the will investigate the incident. Anonymous sources said that Pakistan's government footed the bill, although the United States may be required to pay them back. He reportedly shot the two armed men as they attempted to steal from him in Lahore. Davis was accused of two accounts of murder and carrying unlawful weapons; the trial took place early Wednesday. The presence of international operatives in Pakistan has angered many citizens, resulting in protests around the country in the past weeks.

Hillary Clinton said in Cairo, Egypt that the U.S. did not pay the compensation. After being asked by reporters who or what paid the families of the victims, she responded, "The families of the victims pardoned Mr. Davis and we're grateful for their decision."

In pictures: Japan earthquake and tsunami

March 18, 2011

A week ago today, at 2:46 pm JST, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off the coast of the in Japan. The earthquake created an extremely destructive tsunami that spawned 10 metre (33 ft) high waves just moments later. The tsunami travelled 10 km (6 mi) inland causing massive destruction in the country's northeast, including crippling a nuclear plant.

The earthquake and resulting tsunami have left 5,692 dead and over 9,506 missing, with nearly 450,000 homeless. The death toll is expected to rise.

In this special photoessay, Wikinews looks at the earthquake and tsunami, the destruction that resulted and efforts to bring aid to the Japanese people.

UK unemployment increases to 17-year peak

March 17, 2011

In the United Kingdom, the unemployment rate has increased by twenty-seven thousand and has achieved a total of 2.53 million. This figure, which was measured between October 2010 and January 2011, is the highest rate of unemployment the country has experienced since 1994.

The stated that the percentage of those jobless was eight per cent, the peak for that rate since 1996. In the three months approaching February 2011, nearly five hundred thousand occupations were vacant, an increase of twenty-four thousand in comparison to the preceding three months.

According to the ONS, the quantity of 16-24 year-old individuals without an occupation has increased by 0.8% to a record peak of 20.6%, including students who are seeking employment. British David Cameron described this number as "disappointing, once again".

The executive office also commented that, in February 2011, 10,200 fewer people were requesting, causing the total amount to decrease to 1.45 million people. 25,000 more people aged 50–64 now have an occupation, causing the amount of those employed in that age demographic to rise to a record 7.3 million. Cameron has described this situation as a "very mixed picture".

According to, the average worker's wage was 453 (729, 521), including bonuses, in January 2011. In comparison to last year, 2.3% of wages were larger in January of this year, which is less than half of the UK's ; it currently stands at 5.1%.

Overall, the total amount of employed individuals has increased by thirty-two thousand and now stands at 29.16 million, the peak value since autumn 2010. 132,000 occupations were eliminated, whereas 428,000 of them have originated within the. "Clearly any increase in unemployment is unwelcome and a disappointment and it underlines the need for a Budget next week which focuses on growth," commented, the of the , "on creating an environment where businesses are growing and developing and creating jobs."

Within the four UK countries, thirty-eight thousand more people in England have become unemployed. The unemployment levels in Northern Ireland and Wales have increased by four thousand and two thousand respectively. However, in Scotland, unemployment has decreased by sixteen thousand.

Actually, the primary law of medicine is "First, do no harm." And in this case, giving the child a tracheotomy would not do harm, directly the opposite in fact. He's been in hospital for a considerable amount of his short life, and the operation would allow him to go home, where he could be supported on a mobile ventilator. In this and any instance, it is always preferable for a patient of any age with a terminal illness to pass away in their home environment, as opposed to a hospital of any sort. I should mention that I do have some bias in the subject, in that I am Catholic and a strong pro-life/pro-rights supporter. This is why I felt it better as I said in my other post, that you seek advice from other editors. I will make no further comment on this subject, with the declaration above.

Thread:Comments:Japanese tsunami impacts California coastal town/Can't believe it/reply (3)

Most definately. However, the reconstruction of everything takes a while. Where I lived we had two devastating floods in 2001 and 2002, most of the people moved away, and we are still demolishing homes from it. Do you remember Hurricane Katrina in 2005? They are still rebuilding homes, and some still live in there emergency trailers. The United States, in my opinion, is so large that it does take a while for the area affected to receive money to rebuild. With prices increasing, it makes it harder.

Conflicting reports, mounting fear, over Japanese nuclear disaster

March 18, 2011

Secretary reported to Congress Wednesday that the incidents at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant may end up as a larger disaster than the  faced by the U.S. in 1979. However, he said reports from Japan officials are contradictory, and concluded that "[w]e don't really know in detail what's happening. We hear conflicting reports."

International frustration is focusing on the slow pace and lack of detail characterizing the updates from Japan. The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency,, said Japan needs to provide more frequent and detailed information on the crisis to the world. Currently, the lack of information is particularly important regarding the threat posed by reactor number four. The building housing the reactor is no longer on fire, but smoke or steam is visible on television pictures. Yoshitaka Nagayama, a spokesman for Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, admitted that "[b]ecause we have been unable to go the scene, we cannot confirm whether there is water left or not in the spent fuel pool at Reactor No. 4."

Thomas Neff, a reactor safety expert with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said: "The problem is that nobody knows. If you don't know and you're TEPCO, you probably underplay it. If you're the, you probably see it in a worse light."

"The odds are pretty good that no one has good information," said a former, Peter Bradford, who was on the commission at the time of the Three Mile Island disaster.

Expedition 26 crew returns to Earth safely

March 17, 2011

The crew returned to Earth safely on Wednesday aboard the  spacecraft after a 157-day tour of duty aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Landing occurred on the Kazakhstan Steppes.

The crew, consisting of Commander and Flight Engineers  and, launched to space on October 7 of last year, docking to the station a couple days later. According to NASA officials, landing conditions were "too cold, too windy, too arctic" to set up a medical tent as is usually done after a landing. Instead, the cosmonauts and astronaut were taken to, Kazakhstan before returning to , Russia.

Despite the weather during landing and crew recovery operations, NASA spokesman Rob Navias says that the recovery teams are apt at recovering crews under such conditions. The three crewmembers exited the capsule about thirty minutes after a landing in deep snow.

The launch of the next flight to the ISS,, has been delayed due to technical problems, and is scheduled to lift-off no earlier than March 29.

Scott Kelly was in space at the time of the during which his twin brother's wife, U.S. , was shot. He and brother are the only twins to have both flown into space.

This was the first spaceflight for Oleg Skripochka, the third for Scott Kelly, and the fifth for Aleksandr Kaleri. Kaleri is now the second most experienced space-traveler in human history, spending a total of 770 days in space and trailing only, who has accumulated just over 800 days.

Libyan rebels and Gaddafi troops in battle on two fronts

March 17, 2011

Libyan government forces and rebel fighters have been fighting in two different cities Wednesday, in both the east and west of the country.

Fighting was reported in the cities of, an eastern city that is the last settlement before Benghazi, the main rebel location, and in , the only town still controlled by rebels in western Libya. Rebels claimed to have held off government troops in both cities, though dozens of people are reported dead in the latest violence.

Control of Ajdabiya has reportedly shifted between government and rebel troops in the past two days. Government forces apparently captured the city during the day on Tuesday, but retreated by evening. On Wednesday, the city was under attack by airplanes, tanks and mortars. At the end of the day, the rebels still appeared to control much of the city.

According to a doctor in the city, at least 26 people have died in Ajdabiya in the past two days. On Tuesday, Libyan state TV reported that Ajdabiya was "totally controlled and is being cleansed of armed gangs." However, a rebel official later said that "[t]here's heavy, sustained tank shelling and earlier there were air strikes, but now the revolutionaries managed to take seven tanks from those dogs and, God willing, we will succeed."

Rebel leaders also claimed that warplanes and a helicopter under their command had been involved in the fighting, and said they had superior weapons than government forces. Outside the city, however, government forces were reported to be amassing several hundred troops, as well as increasing supplies of ammunition and weaponry.

In Misrata, rebels claim that they had repelled government forces using tanks and other artillery weapons, though this could not be confirmed. Eleven people are reported to have died on Wednesday in Misrata.

International diplomatic efforts to resolve the situation continue. French president Nicolas Sarkozy wrote to the UN Security Council in support of a proposed resolution that includes the establishment of a no-fly zone in Libya. The international community is still split on the idea of military intervention, though; while the supports a no-fly zone, a G8 meeting on Tuesday ended without support for the idea.

Yeah, you just go on believing that. I think most people here would rather ration healthcare from a person who cannot be saved or helped in any way, rather than rationing from citizens who could be helped but can't afford to pay for it. Enjoy your nation's ongoing descent to third world status.

So, another one is biting the dust? Yet there is very strong resistance to change from the Rulers who have little idea of where this is going. The People want change and lots of it and they are offered bombs; dumb move!

This sort of bigotry is disgusting. Nobody deserves to have a family member's funeral disturbed like this; and for such horrible reasons! The anti-gay community has to be one of the most ignorant and self-centered group of people currently in existence.

Japan begins using helicopters to drop water on nuclear plant

March 17, 2011

Japanese military helicopters have begun to drop water on the nuclear power plant in an effort to cool reactors.

The operation began at 0948 local time (0048 UTC) today, after similar efforts were ended early yesterday due to radiation. helicopters dropped four loads of water on reactors three and four, with officials planning up to twelve more drops before crews are forced to leave the area due to radiation.

The water drops are intended to both cool the reactors and add water to pools that hold fuel rods. These pools are believed to be almost empty; if they run out of water the fuel rods can melt and release high levels of radiation. The storage pools have a capacity of about 2,000 tonnes of water, a third of that is needed to keep fuel rods submerged. Each helicopter can carry 7.5 tonnes of water at a time.

TV footage showed helicopters dropping water from about 300 feet above the reactors. Some time after the helicopters began to drop water, military trucks started using a water cannon to spray reactor three.

The crisis at the power plant has led to the evacuation of around 70,000 people who lived within 20 kilometres of the plant, while another 140,000 are under orders to stay inside. The United States has asked its citizens who are within 80 kilometres of the plant to leave.

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 Lauren. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lauren~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 23:18, 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.

Thread:Comments:Four dead after Yemen police fire on protesters/Islamic (or Shiite) religious demonstrators

As in the other recent demonstrations in Arab countries, this is a religious clash. Contrary to what the narrators of the world media are SAYING, especially the BBC and CNN, "Allahu Ackbar" is heard and the Islam flag raised by extreme factions in these countries. Moderate Muslims, just like moderate people of all other faiths, try to keep away.

New York Times to start charging for access to web news

March 18, 2011

The New York Times announced on Thursday that it will start charging for full access to, its online version. Beginning March 28, U.S. visitors who do not subscribe to the print edition will be allowed access to  20 articles a month. A digital subscription to the website will be required to read additional content.

The fee plan for Canadians is already in effect, allowing the NYT to "fine-tune the customer experience", according to the announcement.

Unlimited access to articles will continue to be free for those users reaching the Times through links from   search engines,, and social media like  and. The NYTimes.com home page and individual section front pages will continue be freely accessible. The NYT unsuccessfully tried a six years ago. Due to declining profits and readership of its print edition, it is ready to try again.

According to, a company that measures online traffic,  NYTimes.com had  31.4 million individual visitors in February. It is the most-read newspaper site in the world, reported.

"The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network, to make sure we continue to engage with the widest possible audience", wrote, NYT company chairman.

The headline is factually wrong. Israel did not approve new settlements. In fact it did not even approve building in most of the existing settlements. Only in those which are in areas that the government believes will stay under Israeli control in some sort of agreement that is expected to be reached (similar to what has been leaked out by Al Jazeera). This article was mostly copied from the BBC report. Telling is the "Days after". Actually the murder of a baby, two little kids and their parents was the night before as can be seen in the article itself.

A judge in South Africa has convicted a serial killer of 52 crimes, including nineteen rapes, sixteen murders, an attempted murder and nine kidnappings. was convicted before  on Wednesday of being what police had dubbed the West End Serial Killer. He was today sentenced to twenty concurrent life terms.

Mogale's crimes lasted a year from March 2008 to March 2009, coming to an end when police were passed his car's number plate information following a teen's disappearance. He was arrested shortly after the killing of a prostitute he had hired; he was found to have a phone stolen from another victim when he was detained.

Whilst the killer was still at-large police named him after the West-End factory, a building materials factory in Waterworks, around which most of the attacks were centred. Other victims were attacked in.

Judge Frans Kgomo also chose to convict Mogale, who is in his forties, of three aggravated robberies,, assault with intent to cause , theft or fraud and escaping lawful custody. He cleared the defendant, who took victims to open areas before comitting sexual murders, of nine other charges.

41 witnesses testified for the prosecution, including the only two women to survive. Both told the court he had introduced himself as a preacher and prophet. He wore a Christian Zion badge and, which both victims identified; were also submitted as evidence. The accused's distinctive facial scar was recognised by the survivors.

The first described his help for a ailment; she said he claimed he needed to have sex with her to exorcise a spirit from her and placed herbs in her vagina, but Mogale countered that they had consensual intercourse as part of an affair. The second said he took her to a veld and attacked her after giving her a lift, knocking her unconscious. Upon awakening the following day she said she had maggot-infested wounds and a dislocated jaw. Her genitals and neck were wounded; her front teeth were missing.

Most of the bodies were badly decomposed when they were found. They had mostly been killed by to the skull, either with a weapon or hitting their heads against the ground, although some were strangled. Two women were. DNA and mobile phone records linked him to the crimes. He originally confessed to police.

"I want you to help me," he told officers after his arrest. "When I am with a woman I lose control and do not know what to do. I kill all of them when they do not give me what I want."

Mogale's defence centred on accusations the witnesses - amongst them his partner, Charlotte Manaka - and police were trying to frame him. He said police took a condom used by he and Manaka to obtain forensic evidence to plant. Manaka directly contradicted this in her testimony, saying they did not use condoms, as well as saying Mogale regularly wore the beads and badge identified by victims. The couple have four children.

Judge Kgomo noted that "[t]his defence is very suspicious, especially because the DNA kit was compiled long before the accused was even identified as a suspect and long before he was arrested," and that the state witnesses were important to the case. "The accused was not a very good witness... with his contradictions and new versions... at times he wanted to shift blame onto his defence counsel." The judge felt "he was not telling the whole truth" and criticised his failure to produce witnesses to back up his claims.

Professor Gerard Labuschagne, who does investigative psychology for the police, was an important witness. He told the court similarities between the various attacks meant they were "undoubtedly by the same offender." Some of the bodies remain unidentified.

"On the day he was arrested, the accused displayed hatred for women," said judge Kgomo. "He behaved like a psychopath, even showing his manhood to the female police officer. When he met the same policewoman at the station he said, ‘when I come out of here you will be the first person I rape and kill’." In summary, Kgomo said, "[t]he state has proved beyond reasonable doubt the accused’s guilt."

"I didn't do anything," protested Mogale shortly before judgement was handed down. "You know how life is, this is a challenge, I didn’t do any of those things. I don’t even know those women." He has been convicted of rape twice previously.

At sentencing today, Judge Kgomo called Mogale an "evil and perverted murderer and rapist who pose[s] extreme danger to women in society." As well as sixteen life terms for the murders, four extra life terms were handed down for raping some women twice. Each of the three aggravated robberies attracted a fifteen-year sentence, each kidnap produced five years, three years for the theft and fraud charge, three for sexual assault, three for escaping custody and five for attempted murder. All the sentences will run concurrently.

"Sir, there is no way you can be allowed to be out of prison to come into contact with women," Kgomo told Mogale. "I am removing you permanently from society." As Mogale was led away he shouted at the victims' families "[y]ou are also coming, I pray. I will be out soon."

Thread:Comments:Israel to build new settlements in West Bank/Cynically removes the human story

This story along with the BBC and NYT sources cited, and other media has managed to turn this into a story about settlements rather than the shocking and brutal terrorist attack  almost incidently noted here. Clearly, those who are capable of the premeditated murder of sleeping babies and children together with their parents are driven by something far deeper than an aversion to the existence or building of Israeli settlements. Yet, many media outlets still chose to politicize the horrific slaughter of innocents by focusing less on the despicable act itself and more on making an issue of the location of the attack. The BBC virtually buried the Fogel family’s massacre. Instead, it was subsumed in a story of settlements, and warranted only a few lines. The BBC does, however, report that the attack “has shocked many Palestinians”. Of course, the BBC failed to mention that Hamas described the attack as a “heroic operation” while sweets and candies were handed out in Gaza in celebration. The Palestinian Authority’s continuous incitement in the Palestinian media and education system bear much responsibility. But the media have bought into this narrative of demonization and helped to create such a toxic environment that the murder of innocents is deemed to be almost acceptable and the human story behind a tragedy is cynically removed.

Power line to Japanese nuclear plant completed

March 18, 2011

A power line to the in Japan was completed Thursday, which will allow cooling systems at one of the facility's reactors.

The new line, roughly one kilometer (0.6 miles) in length, connects the power grid to the power plant's second reactor. It was completed at about 1730 local time (0830 UTC) on Thursday, and will be energized once spraying of seawater over reactor three is complete.

According to a spokesperson, once the power line is energized "we will be able to activate various electric pumps and pour water into reactors and pools for spent nuclear fuel," thus cooling temperatures within the reactor.

The has said that the stricken power plant is currently stable, though there is still the chance of matters growing worse. An official at the agency said that "it's reasonably stable at the moment compared to yesterday."

UN Security Council approves Libya no-fly zone

March 17, 2011

The United Nations Security Council has approved the establishment of a over Libya after a vote on Thursday evening.

A meeting in New York City resulted in the approval of a resolution that would mark the beginning of "all necessary measures short of an occupation force to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas" in Libya. The vote on the measure passed with ten of the fifteen members of the Security Council in support and, , , and   absenting.

The resolution had been proposed by the United Kingdom, France and Lebanon. In his remarks introducing the measure before the Council,, the French foreign minister, said that "[w]e cannot let these warmongers do this, we cannot abandon civilians."

Air attacks on government forces in Libya could take place within hours, flown by the French and British air forces, after NATO meets to review plans for military action.

In response to the vote, a statement aired on Libyan state TV said that "[a]ny foreign military act against Libya will expose all air and maritime traffic in the Mediterranean Sea to danger, and civilian and military [facilities] will become targets of Libya's counterattack."

Libya's ruler, Muammar Gaddafi, also said that government troops planned to move against Benghazi Thursday night. "No more fear, no more hesitation, the moment of truth has come. [...] There will be no mercy. Our troops will be coming to Benghazi tonight."

The UK ambassador to the UN,, said after the vote that "[t]he international community has come together in deploring the actions of the Gaddafi regime and demanding that the regime end this violence against the Libyan people."

In Benghazi, rebels celebrated the passage of the resolution with fireworks after a live broadcast of the vote was shown on an outdoor projection.

Gaddafi should now realize the seriousness of the issue and he should see whats written on the wall. Just like every dictator his days are now numbered. Under isolation Libyan government forces will not be able to resist the rebels for a longer period, if they continue the onslaught then it may lead to foreign intervention which can deterioate the situation further. Libya if remains in the current state of stalemate then it may prove to be the next home and a safe haven for many war lords as well terrorists of international standards and repute.

Japanese stocks continue to fall after earthquake

March 18, 2011 The prominent Japanese stock market index fell another 1.4% Thursday, over financial turmoil after the massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami hit the country a week ago.

For the past five trading days, stocks have been down by a total of fourteen percent; today, they were down as much as five percent, or 454 points, but rebounded to close at 8,962 points.

US stocks also reacted negatively to the cataclysm; the Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 1.95% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 2.04%. The British FTSE, however, gained 0.77%, but after a large loss yesterday.

Meanwhile, the Japanese yen reached its highest level ever against the US dollar since the end of World War II, peaking at 76.25 to a dollar before finishing the day at 79.14.

I don't think this should be at a serious news website. It would be better to just leave it at "paid tribute to his friend on Twitter." After all, rappers don't know how to write (which isn't surprising, since they also don't know how to make music or follow the law).

User:Mono/Reviewer rights request

Hi, I'm Mono. I've been working here for a couple months now; so far I've written 10 articles and gotten the hang of the processes here. I'm active in #wikinews and have seen the trouble the project has had getting articles published in a timely fashion, so I am applying for reviewer rights. I've worked with Flagged Revisions before and I have read the documentation (WN:MOS, WN:REVIEW, etc.). I will admit that my edit count is not large, but this is mainly since I have concentrated on writing content. Recently, I've been looking at other articles, offering suggestions, and improving them.

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

Agreed, I know nothing about this particular newspaper but the format itself is dead - people buy them for something to read on the train, fill their heads whichever kind of biased spin that their polical leanings prefer and as a flag to other people showing the way that they think.

Wikinews can be slow but it offers a great way to discuss and debate the issue (even if I'm not usually submitting the intelligent views).

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 Nuken. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nuken~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 23:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
