Fine Gael has called for new legislation to be inacted which would grant the Taoiseach unprecedented sweeping executive powers in times of crisis. In a statement today their Defence Spokesman Billy Timmins TD claimed executive powers should be increased immediately and centralised at the "highest level" of Government. Legislation in the UK allows the so-called COBRA committee to rule by executive decree with the power to: Suspend sittings of Parliament Destroy or requisition private property Ban public assemblies Limit freedom of movement Establish special courts to try suspects ... read full story / add a comment

Most of us had barely been asleep an hour, when at three o'clock the alarm went off. I woke to the sound of people shouting 'get out of your tent, the police are here'. Our delegates were sent to the front gate while the rest of us waited. They came back with the word that twenty police vans had arrived but they had said that they would not enter the camp. A small group of watchers stayed awake, the rest of us went back to our cold beds. ... read full story / add a comment

As I type, the indymedia centre on site here is packed to gills as stories are uploaded to the many countries around the world. Sorry no photos today; it was just too damn wet. What a long day. The last thing we did before we went to bed last night,was have a barrio meeting at which we sorted ourselves into affinity groups. Affinity groups are small groups of friends who undertake to look after each other on a protest. Each group is divided into buddies - smaller groups of two or three who undertake to always have each other in line of site. The 'short bus' arrived just after midnigh .Then most tried to get a couple of hours sleep, others waited around the campfire. At two, the sleepy camp roused itself. It was raining heavily and in the dark it was difficult to see very far. Shouts of 'cat' , 'seomra sproai' and 'red diesel' rang out as the three affinity groups called out to their members. ... read full story / add a comment

In recent years, British Petroleum (BP) has been working hard to remake its public image. Their well-crafted print and television ads feature upbeat electronic music and a vibrant new yellow and green starburst logo. With it’s cutting-edge content on human rights, biodiversity and macro-economic theory, their website is designed to look like that of a developmental think tank. In reality, BP is the world’s third largest oil and gas company and one of the largest polluters on the globe. Exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas are the company’s main activities and it operates in 100 countries in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa. Its revenues for 2003 were over $16 billion; its profits were over $10 billion. ... read full story / add a comment
