# diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) measles, tuberculosis, and polio. These are the illnesses you ought to have been immunised against as a child or as a teenager if you're female. With the exception of tuberculosis these desiese are now controlled in the developed world. TB is returning and TB treatment centres are found in most eastern US cities and many European cities. I'll write about the new forms of TB in the fourth of this series. # hepatitis B # Hib # yellow fever are desieses against which many millions of children in the non developed world need vaccines. Yesterday, the Gates foundation gave 750 million$ to GAVI the global vaccine alliance. The donation was immediately supported by the state of Norway which gave $290 million, and this morning the UK has committed a further 750mil$ (=£400m) . These are comitments of annual support until the year 2015. read full story / add a comment

Mike Leigh’s ‘Vera Drake,’ is set in Islington, 1950. Surprise, surprise, this ain't no nostalgia trip. It’s a world not far removed from Orwell’s 1930’s ‘Down and Out In Paris and London’ with his amazement at an English working class ability to subsist on regular doses of bread and tea. The dry taste of soda bread, the smell of dampness and the comfort of a 'cuppatay' is as palpable as the scars of war staring blankly from the eyes of shell shocked characters like Reg (Eddie Marsan) who having lost his mother to the blitz lives a bachelors life on ‘bread and drippings’. Rationing is still a reality, nylons are traded for smokes and parasitical black marketers and creditors make a fortune door to door, in neighbourhoods perpetually clouded in grey. read full story / add a comment

Troops through Shannon up 26% on previous year. Workforce is down 50%. That's the same workforce who were force- fed the story that their jobs depended on US military use of the airport.

Funding for the Community Workers Co-Operative (CWC) has been withdrawn. In a brazen and cynical move by Ministers Eamonmn O Cuiv and Noel Ahern, the coalition government have moved into an even more extreme right wing position by silencing this alternative voice which has distinguished itself with its honest and direct analysis of Irish social and economic issues, from a community development perspective. read full story / add a comment

We have heard seductively in the past of the efficacy of "tough love." But what is toughness? Is it just cowardly bluster? Is it a real virtue in sport or in our personal lives, for example? read full story / add a comment
