The threat of an indeterminate remand in custody could have no basis in law and the conditions of bail were not in any way rationally connected to ensuring the integrity of a criminal trial.' read full story / add a comment

Save The Children is a global practising non governmental organisation based in the USA.

It works to safeguard the rights of the child globally.

Challenges which are very different from the tsunami zone of SE Asia, to Mozambique, to Darfur, to Brazil, children face different threats from desiese, war, natural disaster etc.,

Save the Children estimates that 14.5% of children in North America and Europe almost of all of whom can read and write and have got their vaccines and many of whom are guaranteed minimum levels of nutrition have arranged to meet a stranger through the internet. Often the stranger is not another kid, its an adult even if not a bogeyman michael jackson type, it could just be a sci tech war recruiter in a gamesroom.

Scary stuff. read full story / add a comment

TEGUCIGALPA — Indigenous people are probably the most marginalized in Honduran society. Many communities live under constant fear of losing the land they live on, despite obligations under national and international law, the government has failed to provide them with deeds to protect their right to live on and use the land. Disputes with landowners, multinational logging companies and tourist enterprises over the recognition of land rights have led to abuses against indigenous leaders, including violence, intimidation, death threats and assassinations. The authorities have consistently failed to properly investigate such abuses or to offer adequate protection against them.

Bill Gates, the world's richest man, is now betting against the dollar. "I'm short the dollar," says Gates. "The ol' dollar, it's gonna go down." Will the dollar be one day the target of attacks by hedge funds? Recently the dollar rallied a bit, but short-term fluctuations aside, the dollar has nowhere to go but down. Gradually or suddenly and precipitously? It may be possible to engineer gradual devaluation of the dollar and stimulate US export, shrinking the US trade deficit, but it turns out that "the US does not have adequate manufacturing capacity to eliminate the external deficit," according to David Hale. That means that the US power elite will demand that the US working class reduce consumption to haul the multinational ruling class out of the abyss of the US current-account deficit, at the same time as forcing the US working class to make greater and greater sacrifices as IED fodders, sinking further into the quagmire in Iraq. Can American workers fight back? read full story / add a comment
