King of Tonga dies, aged 88

September 11, 2006 According to an official news release on the Tongan Royal Palace website, His Majesty King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV passed away peacefully at 11.34pm local time (2334 UTC), on Sunday, 10th September at Mercy Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand aged 88.

King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV was the ruler of Tonga following the death of his mother, Queen Sālote Tupou III, in 1965. His wife was Queen Halaevalu Mataʻaho ʻAhomeʻe, born in 1926. The couple had four children.

"The sun has set in the Kingdom of Tonga," said an official government statement from the royal palace.

His death ends 41 years of his reign.

The capital, Nukua'alofa, was draped in black and purple, the official colours of mourning.

His state funeral is expected to be held on September 19. An official month of mourning was declared.

His body will be flown home on Wednesday, September 13.

The Kingdom of Tonga was stricken into mourning earlier this year, when in July, Prince Tu'ipelehake and his wife Princess Kaimana, along with their driver Vinisia Hefa, were killed when their vehicle was stuck by a speeding car on a San Francisco, California, USA highway.

King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV was once known as being the World's heaviest monarch (his weight exceeded 200 kg then), as well as later being the victim of a number of money-making schemes.

Crown Prince Taufa'ahau Tupou V, the King's eldest son, was sworn in on Monday, September 11 as the next king but his formal coronation is likely to be next year. He and his sister, Princess Pilolevu have represented the monarch during his lengthy absences due to failing health.

tonga article
actually, i'm the one who placed that cleanup tag.

i posted the message on ur talk page as i was not quite sure what was being attempted. (sometimes people end up removing content or modifying it unintentionally and i wanted to check if this was the same). don't worry about making edits, or even making mistakes while editing - this is a Wiki and all errors can be easily fixed. note that using the edit summary will make it easier for other editors to understand why a particular edit was made.

btw, it'd be better to rewrite the information from the WP article (as opposed to reproducing it verbatim) than removing it altogether.

appreciate ur work on this article, and hope to see more of u here on wikinews. cheers, Doldrums 06:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

German police seize Tor anonymity servers

September 11, 2006

Seven ISPs and individuals were raided and six confirmed computers seized by German police -- but not purely for operating as anonymity proxy servers using the Tor network protocol.

The premise of the seizures was that the servers showed up in a server log of a child pornography site. According to German civil liberties advocates in Germany who talked to the police, there are dozens if not hundreds of computers, in addition to the Tor nodes, that were also seized.

Tor executive director, Shava Nerad, expects all the computers to be returned to the server operators, none of whom have been charged with any crime, after the servers have been cleared from any involvement in the sting. However, Nerad also cautioned, "I don't believe German police have a deep understanding of how an anonymizing system works and none of these routers have logs." According to one of the Tor operators whose server was confiscated, no criminal charge has yet been filed against him.

All efforts are being made by the Tor community to preserve the privacy and civil liberties of all involved, but according to Nerad the situation is not so dire as has been reported elsewhere in the blogosphere. Civil rights advocates and cypherpunks claim that child pornography has become a carte blanche rationale for police suppression of disruptive technologies protecting privacy.

Laws circumscribing online privacy rights in the EU are more strict than in the US. PRIME, the EU's Privacy and Identity Management for Europe project, says: "The concept of a user-controlled identity management system implements the EU Directives 95/46/EC and 2002/58/EC, whose purpose is to safeguard individuals' fundamental rights and freedom, including the right to privacy. The technology will enable PRIME platforms to comply with European legislation. The platform applies the EU Directive's data protection principles. It supports and facilitates anonymity and pseudonymity to minimize the processing of personal information, whenever possible."

Paes and Damm had lost the first set and their serve broken in the second set managed to win their first title of the year.

Paes said communication had been the key to his success with Damm. "I don't think there are enough words to express how much fun and how much learning I've actually had playing with Martin, because we're actually opposites on the court," Paes said. "Martin is strong and plays more solid. I'm more flashy and a bit more quick. We really complement each other. "It's been a fantastic year playing with him. I've really enjoyed it. I'd like to thank him for a wonderful year."

Talk:Lucknow: Convent school ransacked by BJYM activists

Wikinews articles reach a global audience. so it is essential that sufficient context be added to articles to allow it to be understood by someone who is not familiar with the context of the new event. this can be fixed by such things as Doldrums 05:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * mentioning the country in which event is taking place in the lead (first) paragraph itself.
 * add wikilinks to terms which are likely to be unfamiliar to many readers
 * providing a brief "definition" of organisations/people..etc involved in the story. (eg. "The BJYM, the the youth wing of Bharatiya Janata Party...".)
 * identify places similarly, (eg. "in Lucknow, the capital city of the state of Bihar, in northern India")

please do not remove tags without addressing the concerns raised in them. if u think the concerns are not valid, discuss on the article talk page to reach a concensus on the issues. Doldrums 07:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I left the reason in my edit summary. The person that raised the concerns did not examine my sources or read the whole article before judging. I would have liked them to start from the beginning before  questioning the content. Anonymous Writing 07:22, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * please do not remove tags, and publish disputed articles. a number of editors have raised concerns over the content and fitness of this article. unless the concerns are addressed and there is a consensus to publish the article, please do not publish it. note that repeated reversions are considered edit warring and is frowned upon. (see Three revert rule. Doldrums 07:23, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I reverted you, I thought my edit had not gone through due to a glitch in the system. I cannot edit Wikinews much at this time for reasons I cannot explain due to privacy issues. The story is not   abandoned, and do not delete it, please.

Also, "a number" is not accurate because I convinced the others to let me go ahead and publish the article, because only one editor's concerns have not been replied to until now, in the edit summary. I should not have to prove the legitimacy of an article to "editors" that refuse to read it, take one quick glance at it, and dismiss it as utter garbage. Those that know nothing will understand nothing. Read the article and become enlightened on the issue. Anonymous Writing 07:33, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I had been so busy writing this article I nearly abandoned food, sleep, water, and bathing. I stayed   awake for a week typing the article, thinking through my fingers and providing more than seventy sources to prove its legitimacy. Please do not throw the article recklessly into the waste bin, the memory hole, for it never to return. Anonymous Writing 07:39, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * a story in the mainspace is abandoned if it has not been worked on for several days and will be deleted for it. if u believe that the story can be "rescued", u can either start rewriting the article to address concerns (in which case it becomes un-abandoned) or copy the article to ur user-space (ur user page User:Anonymous Writing or a subpage of it) and work on it at leisure (while the mainspace article gets deleted). when the copy in ur userspace is ready for publication, it can be moved back to mainspace for publication. note that removing an abandoned tag without making any constructive edits to the article does not make it "unabandoned".

 * i appreciate that you have expended plenty of effort in creating this article, but the article still has to meet wikinews content guidelines to be published. as far as i can tell, me, User:Edbrown05, User:Fastfission, User:Brianmc have expressed concerns over this article. Doldrums 07:46, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I convinced Edbrown05 on the talk page of User:Leak watcher. As for Brian McNeil's complaint, that     an amateur working alone with enough persistence and patience can be as good as an expert was the            entire spirit behind a wiki, I always thought. I interpreted it as a complaint against the person that made another edit. That it is too long to read is not a valid complaint, I feel, and is merely a symptom of laziness. I broke            the article down into many sections so that the reader can keep coming back to it later between breaks. Anonymous Writing 07:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

As for facts, nearly every fact is new in the context of the situation. Anonymous Writing 07:59, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Uhmm, taking exception Anon-No saying I was convinced. Actually, I was more convinced by FastFission and Brian McNeal who pointed out the need for the real news content of the article, the redaction, being the focus of the story.
 * As [think Paul Harvey] "for the rest of the story", I simply took interest out of that for the reinforcement of existing knowledge of this "news" surrounding the boring case... most people have lost giving a shit. And that's part of the problem, and part of the opportunity for this story. Heck, I say hold onto this for background info until a court decision. -Edbrown05 08:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

There are tons of angles that could be given to the story. For one, that the CIA was able to get an exact transcript of the Woodward-Armitage phone exchange highlights a scenario in which whistleblowers would not be protected. I just stuck to the facts as much as possible and let the reader interpret. I could have split the 16 page article into many different news stories. Regardless, I've decided to circumvent the management of Wikinews and go directly to the U.S. Senate.

Also, EdBrown, I think the same program on your computer is the same one I found placed on mine. Is it WINSERVICE.EXE? I think someone might be watching us, but this would be a real paranoid conspiracy theory in itself. Anonymous Writing 08:29, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Wrong way yacht race postponed

September 11, 2006

Due to a failure to secure appropriate sponsorship, the Global Challenge Round the World Yacht Race will not be being held next time it's due in 2008.

The unusual race features ordinary people competing as opposed to major yachting sportspeople. For a final twist, the race is the "wrong way", namely against the prevailing winds. This leads the UK's newspaper, The Guardian to describe it as "the world's toughest yacht race".

Talk:German police seize Tor anonymity servers

please contact me via email if you need more info. Shava Nerad, Tor executive director shava -at- freehaven -dot- net -- thanks!

Can someone familiar with Tor, in practice, whether the protocol provides for invalidating nodes known to be compromised? What mechanisms prevent the police from plugging the confiscated computers back into the Internet and enabling Tor's logs to compromise larger sets of the network? My understanding of onion routing is that if a significant threshold of conspiracy between nodes takes place, the anonymity of the entire network is compromised. zuzu 14:07, 12 September 2006 (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 Marko Jurcic. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Marko Jurcic~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 23:21, 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.

Al-Qaeda releases 9/11 message

September 11, 2006

Al-Qaida released a 9/11 message to the American public today, and with it comes a threat for the American people. It calls on fellow Muslims to step up their resistance to the American people.

"Your leaders are hiding from you the true extent of the disaster," al-Zawahiri, the fugitive deputy to al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden says in a video, which appeared on Islamist Web sites late Sunday. "And the days are pregnant and giving birth to new events, with God's permission and guidance."

It appeared just moments before the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

The tape appears to be recorded recently, with many references to the Israel and Lebanon conflict, including the recent bombardment of Lebanon by Israel.

Al-Zawahiri says that attacks on the West should be considered fair, because "...the reality of international politics is the humiliation and repression of the Muslim at the hands of the idol-kings who dominate this world."

The video, which is an hour and 16 minutes long, and subtitled in English, presents a threat to Britain, which currently controls NATO troops in Afghanistan, that "Dr. Brydon won't be returning this time," which is a reference to the sole survivor of a British colonial army massacred during the First Anglo-Afghan War in 1842.

Al-Zawahiri also criticised his native country Egypt, saying that "Israel has been able to dominate Lebanon and Gaza only because Egypt has been totally removed from the conflict with Israel."

"We tell you not to concern yourselves with the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, these are doomed," he said. "You should worry about your presence in the Middle East in general, and the second place they should worry about is (their presence, red.) in Israel," Al-Zawahiri said.

CNN analyst Peter Bergen said Sunday that the al-Qaeda group was certain to make some sort of statement on Monday's anniversary.

"It would be very, very weird, in my view, if we didn't hear from either or both of them in the next few days, because this is something they want to remind Americans and their followers about -- the dreadful attacks on 9/11," Bergen said.

Talk:Al-Qaeda releases 9/11 message

Could you explain : "It refers to al Qaeda as a person even though it's a group". What's the problem ? i just guess. To impersonate a group seem ok for me. often it's used for political entity : "France decided to send troop ..." or "French government forbide hormone into beef food". i don't see difference with al qaeda. And i know this group is not a monolitic centralised group. Maybe its a french language difference with english. smile. Jacques Divol 21:39, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm referring to these sentences: Al Queda released a 9/11 message to the American public today, and with it comes a threat for the American people. He calls on fellow Muslims to step up their resistance to the American people. "He" is a personal pronoun, which is inappropriate in this context. —     21:40, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Torrential rains huge havoc on Sindh, killing several, heavy rains destroy the crops in Sindh

September 12, 2006

At least 10 people have died due to flooding caused by torrential rains in Sindh, Pakistan. Floodwaters swept away a railway bridge about 80 km northwest of the port city of Karachi.

Within an 18-hour spell of rain on Friday dumped up to 20 centimeters of water on the Sindh. Torrential rains that lashed southern parts of Pakistan's Sindh a couple of days ago have inundated cultivation territories, badly affecting the crops. The crops of banana, melon, betel leaf, chilli, onion and tomato suffered huge damage from the heavy rain. Due to LBOD overflowing, there is no another system in Sindh to drain out water from the damaged crops.

Pope visits homeland in Germany

September 11, 2006

Pope Benedict XVI went to visit his homeland in Marktl-am-Inn, Germany today. The Pope celebrated Mass in front of 70,000 people, at Kapellplatz square. Benedict had a six-day homecoming tour of his native Bavaria, a state in Germany. He said a prayer remembering 9/11 victims.

Benedict also planned to make visits to where he was born, and to Freising, where he was ordained a priest. He will also visit Regensburg, where he once taught theology; he still has a house in the city, and his brother Georg, a retired priest and choir director, lives there as well.

"This is the mother that generations have come to Altoetting to visit," he said. "To her we entrust our cares, our needs and our troubles."

He visited his first house, which he lived till he was two years old. The house had to be cleaned after it was spattered with blue paint early on Sunday. The police described it as vandalism.

"This is a really big thing — I've never seen a pope before," said Juergen Tauer, a 38-year-old computer technician from the Bavarian town of Degendorf who took the day off to travel to Altoetting with his wife and three children. "It's great that the pope is coming to Altoetting."

Everyone was excited about the chance to see the pope.

September 12, 2006

was positioned at 35.8 N 63.9 W, at 11 p.m.  ( - 4 hr), with maximum winds blowing at 85 mph and gusts of up to 105 mph. The hurricane is moving in a north-easterly direction at 18 mph and is showing signs of weakening.

The government of Bermuda has discontinued the Tropical Storm warning it issued only after it blew away window panes, glasses and roofs. No deaths have been reported though there are reports of minor injuries. The hurricane has knocked out power supply to thousands of people.

The Bermuda Electric Light Company (BELCO) expects the restoration of supply to be complete in few days.

TADA court begins pronouncing '93 Mumbai blasts verdict

September 12, 2006

The special TADA court hearing the 1993 Mumbai blasts case began delivering its verdict today. Four members of the Memon family, Yakub, Essa, Rubina and Yusuf, were found guilty of conspiring and abetting acts of terrorism and also having contacts with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, and now face between 5 years and life in prison. The judge decided to acquit three other Memons, Suleiman, Hanifa and Raheen, giving them the benefit of the doubt. Yakub, younger brother of prime accused Ibrahim Mushtaq 'Tiger' Memon, was also convicted of possessing unauthorised arms. The rest of the accused, including Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, will hear the judgements in their cases over a period of four weeks.

After hearing the court's ruling against him, Yakub lost his temper, hurling abuses at the judge and accusing him of "making terrorists out of innocents". After the blasts, which killed over 250 people in 13 explosions across the city, the Memon family fled to Dubai, and then Pakistan. Except Tiger and his brother Ayub, however, the rest of them returned to India in 1994, and were arrested by the CBI. Since then, Yakub has been in custody and has, according to his lawyer Subhash Kanse, been undergoing treatment for depression.

syria article
First off, we really appreciate your contribution.

But sometimes users submit an article from somewhere else, not realizing that Wikinews cannot keep copy-and-paste versions of articles which are published elsewhere under a restrictive copyright. An article created in this way is a copyright violation, and Wikinews policy is to erase these even if they are excellent article ideas.

Another problem which sometimes comes up is press releases: Press releases are sometimes excellent sources, but they do not qualify as unbiased news articles so they can't be published as they are. Two key things to remember about press releases is that they're usually written to represent the viewpoint of an involved party (Thus likely running foul of our Neutral Point of View policy). And second, they are generally covered by copyright which can conflict with our open editing approach.

A better way to get an article on an exciting subject published here is to write an original article following the guidelines described in writing an article, or to write a brief explanation of the subject and include the url address of articles or websites to use as sources. If you are part of the story that the article is about, you may also wish to consider requesting an interview rather than writing the article yourself.

Thanks again! Doldrums 10:24, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Interview with Vicky Colbourne, Regional Council candidate for Wards 2 & 6 in Brampton, Canada

RAW INTERVIEW TEXT
- What qualities or experiences do you possess, that make you more desirable than the incumbent?

I have worked for the Region of Peel .I would offer an insiders look to what goes on in the Region of Peel.

I am open minded, energetic and a team player. I like challenges and tend to think outside the box for solutions to problems.

- Why do you want to represent your ward on council?

I feel we need a change in our ward. We have had the same councillor for the last twenty years. Some of the outcomes of the councillors decisions are evident today for lack of long term thinking.

- Of the decisions made by council since the last election, which one would you have changed, and why?

Consideration for taxpayers financially and environmentally

- How are you currently involved in the community?

I live, work and volunteer in the community. I am a mentor for Leadership Peel.

- Much of Brampton's existing council is quite seasoned in the civic political process. What could you bring to the table as a "rookie", above and beyond the current roster of councillors?

A new approach would be welcomed on this Ward. The councillor in this ward has been very comfortable in his views and is not listening to his constituents .The last time I spoke to him on the issue of taxes and the waste of money at the Region, he was rude and verbally abusive on the phone. This is not acceptable in our elected representative. A cooperative approach is more acceptable.

ALL CANDIDATES

- List the three most important issues in your campaign. urban growth,taxes,gridlock

- What one election issue do you feel is most relevant to your ward in this election? to do what is best for the community

- The Rose Theatre recently launched. What are your thoughts on this facility? Have you had a chance to tour it yet? Time is tell if this was a good idea or not. I have not had an opportunity to see the facility but I am sure I will

- The province has strongly encouraged the development of high-density residences near the downtown. Do these buildings fit in with your vision of the downtown? How much say should other levels of government have in urban planning? the governments should work together for what is best for the community

- How do you feel about Brampton's rate of expansion? Council recently capped the annual amount of new development; do you agree completely with this decision, would you have slowed development even further, or not have imposed a cap at all?

We have to consider environmental issues and services have to be in place before any more development happens. Slowly down the development is a good idea .It is best to catch up before anymore developments happens. The land will be there what is the hurry. There is no accountable from the councillors whom lacked in long term planning.

- Why should businesses be attracted to locating in Brampton? Brampton is still small community with much growth potential. It has something for everyone

- How could Brampton further itself in attracting corporate investment? Dealing with issues in a professional matter and offering solutions

- Why have you chosen to involve yourself in the political process? I would like to some changes for the future of Brampton

- What does Brampton mean to you?

I would like to see a community that is a healthy environment to live in.

Attack on U.S. embassy in Syria halted in progress

September 12, 2006

Guards in charge of security at the United States Embassy in Damascus, Syria have stopped a "terrorist operation" just outside the embassy's walls, according to a statement by the Syrian government. Several other areas near other embassies located in Rawda, Syria have also been shut down in order to secure the surrounding areas.

Reports say that four gunmen exited two vehicles, parking them just outside the embassy and began shooting at guards inside the embassy and throwing grenades at them. The guards then began firing upon the gunmen killing three and wounding one taking him into custody. At least two of the terrorists were attempting to hide in buildings near the embassy, but security officers killed them after catching up to them.

During the exchange of gunfire, one of the vehicles used by the terrorists exploded and according to the Syrian Government, was detonated by the terrorists. The second vehicles also exploded, but reports say the vehicle was in the control of the Syrian security force before it too blew up.

"Three terrorists were killed and one was wounded. [The attack was a] terrorist operation targeting the US embassy," said Gen. Bassam Abdel Majid of Syria's Interior Ministry.

None of the gunmen were able to enter the embassy and there is no claim of responsibility as of yet.

Reports also state that at least one Syrian Security officer and two Iraqis were killed and at least seven technicians located at a nearby workshop were injured including a local police officer. One diplomat from China was also injured when he was hit by debris from the blast while standing on the roof of a garage located at the Chinese Embassy. No Americans were killed or injured during the battle.

An anonymous senior official of Syria's Baath party stated the attacks were planned by government intelligence from within the United States.

MySpace to expand to mobile music

September 12, 2006

News Corp. has purchased a controlling interest in Jamba, the ringtone company created by VeriSign. The $188 million give News Corp. a 51% interest in the public-owned company.

Jamba, and its American brand Jamster, will be merged into News Corp.'s Mobizzo. Mobizzo sells short video clips of television series. It is expected MySpace will integrate the ringtone sales somehow into News Corp.'s social networking website MySpace; MySpace recently announced it would sell music on its website.

News Corp President and CEO Peter Chernin commented to Reuters that "wireless technology gives us an enormous opportunity to reach billions of mobile phone users with our content".

The announcement was made this morning by News Corporation, which owns MySpace.

Terrorists
The use of the word Terrorist in this case is attributed to the quote by Syrian government officials. Jason Safoutin 19:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It was attributed, then adopted - which was problematic. I think all the bits that are "speaking for wikinews" now use gunmen, terrorist should be confined to quotes. --Brian McNeil / talk 07:30, 13 September 2006 (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 GREGORYMATTHEWACKERSON. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name GREGORYMATTHEWACKERSON~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

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

Bomb blast in Turkey kills 10 injures 17

September 12, 2006

Ten people, 7 of which are children, are dead, and at least 17 injured as a bomb went off in, Turkey. Police say that the bomb was set off by a timer on a mobile phone. The blast happened inside a park in the Baglar region of Diyarbakir.

A group called the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons or TAC has claimed to be responsible for the blasts. The group threatened Turkey last week when it posted a message on their website saying that they would turn the country "into hell."

"Our grief is great for the victims of this terror, especially as our children have been the victims," said Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish Prime Minister.

Son of actress and model Anna Nicole Smith dead

September 14, 2006

American model and actress Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel Smith, 20, died in the Bahamas, while visiting his mother, who had just given birth to a girl.

Authorities state that one other person was in the room at the time, and the person was not a hospital staffer. The person's identity has not been released.

The cause of death is currently unknown, however the results of the autopsy and toxicology reports will be released at the inquest, which has been scheduled for the week of October 23. Authorities also say that there is no sign of physical injury

"He was found in a condition of non-responsiveness. I am not certain who made the alarm, and doctors were called in, but he was pronounced dead," said Assistant Commissioner of the Royal Bahamas Police Force, Reginald Ferguson.

If jurors decide a crime has taken place, it will be sent to the Attorney General's office.

Ms. Smith said that she was devastated over the loss of her son.

NZ business Progressive Enterprises claims rejected offer was fair

September 13, 2006

Individual letters detailing Progressive Enterprises' latest pay offer have started arriving at locked-out supermarket worker's homes in a move which bypasses their unions.

The 500 distribution workers yesterday rejected the company's base 3 and a half percent pay increase, claiming it doesn't cover inflation.

The company has couriered letters directly to the nearly 600 affected workers, saying it wants them to be fully informed.

"We believe our offers of a wage increase are fair, reasonable, sustainable, and consistent with the retail industry where pay increases are in the 3 to 4 per cent range," Mr Hamnett said.

"We wanted to make sure that after [the offer] went to the union, it went our employees." Strikers are now into their third week without pay in three cities, stocks in many supermarkets are running low. Unions are annoyed no progress has been made to secure a national collective agreement.

The National Distribution Union says Progressive's latest offer fails to meet the pay parity workers from different sites are seeking.

But the company's spokesperson, Marty Hamnett, says the offer is fair and reasonable, and he's waiting to hear what individual workers think of the offer, rather than the unions.

The dispute involves 500 workers in Auckland, Christchurch and Palmerston North who went on strike on August 25 in a dispute over a single collective agreement and a pay rise. They were subsequently locked out on August 28.
