Sensational new scientific findings point to the Hunga Tonga eruption as the prime suspect in the recent spike in global temperatures. No wonder you haven't heard about this in the mainstream media, says Chris Morrison.

Our new censors tried to ban a video of a Christian bishop being stabbed by a Muslim extremist. But would they have done the same if it was a far-Right assailant attacking a Muslim? Of course not, says Prof James Allan.

Romany Flag An event of gypsy and world music cancelled by Taylor's bar, in Galway, on racist grounds went ahead in Richardson's pub in mid November with many musicians and activists from different groups taking part. Organisers report that, "We went to the door of Taylor's bar to inform people that the event had been relocated. "Some people asked the management why it had been cancelled. We are willing to hear the responses they got and to have a meeting to try to reach consensus as to what actions must follow on grounds of Taylor's response. It is clear to us that a public acknowledgement that a mistake has been made and a willingness to host similar events (without censoring the mention of gypsies travellers or activists) would be acceptable. Otherwise the issue will be brought to the equality authority."

Unidentifiable?The Garda Compaints Board held a press conference about their "Reclaim The Streets" investigation and told the assembled journalists about the difficulties they experienced in trying to get to the bottom of the matter, with Gardai failing to identify their colleagues and generally refusing to assist the work of the inquiry. Media reports are focusing on this particular issue, and once again radio call-in shows are full of discussions about the rights and wrongs of what happened on that day and the continuing fallout.

But there are many unanswered questions that are for all purposes being ignored by most journalists. It seems as if the latest information from the Complaints Board raises more questions than it answers. The problem of the extremely limited powers of the board to compel witnesses or take serious action, raised when Indymedia reported on the establishment of the investigation, has not gone away.

Country Walks courtesy struggle.ws In a bizarre encounter at Shannon airport, two of the war monitors at Shannon today came face to face with a group of US military personnel in the arrivals hall at Shannon airport. The monitors were in the public area, watching the three Hercules C-130s at the airport, and did not expect to see uniformed military personnel in the public part of the terminal. One monitor asked a simple question and both were ordered out of the terminal, at the behest of an anonymous special agent. Two inspectors, two Garda and several security personnel made sure we left the premises. They were very determined to get us out, and the whole thing raises a lot of questions. Today is Halloween so maybe they were just trick or treating? Strange and scary stuff…

The biggest Protest yet against the US Military use of Shannon Airport took place on Saturday 12th October. After a pretty standard protest – (some pushing and shoving at the entrance to the airport, speeches, an open mic, a funny standoff between a group of public representatives and the Police, music, chanting, a die-in) – a number of activists took down the fence marking the airport perimeter and initiated a mass Trespass on the grass beside a runway.

Lots of first hand accounts and reports from individuals and groups involved in the protest have been posted on Indymedia since the weekend and these have generated a huge level of debate centered around the mass direct action, the way the protest was organized and conducted, and the numerous arrests that took place in the course of the trespass. The event was widely reported in the mainstream media and has greatly increased public awareness of US Military use of the airport in the buildup to a possible war in Iraq.
