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
mayo / environment / news report Wednesday July 06, 2005 22:29 by By Hannah Ellis
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

It is not the reformists' promise of freedom of expression and association that the Iranian working class rejected in the presidential election this year. What they refused to tolerate any longer is deteriorating economic conditions that neoliberalism brought them. "Mr. [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad, who catapulted to president-elect from near obscurity as the appointed mayor of Tehran, campaigned on a populist message, promising to redistribute the nation's wealth, hold down prices, raise salaries and lift state-supported benefits for the poor." read full story / add a comment

Ahern does not feel pressure over aid


The Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, has said he does not feel under any additional pressure to raise Ireland's level of overseas aid in the wake of the weekend's Live 8 concerts.

Mr Ahern said it was not possible to raise it from €600 million to €1.4 billion as he would not be able to explain such an increase to the Irish people.

Mr Ahern made his comments after a meeting in Dublin with the Canadian Prime Minister, Paul Martin.

The so-called riots in Edinburgh yesterday were hyped out of proportion. It is the tactics of the police to intimidate people from protesting tomorrow at the summit. The G8 will fail to make poverty history. The movement must keep going after wednesday. Come to G8 feed back discussion on Friday 8th july at 8pm in Carmelite Community Centre, Whitefriar St.. read full story / add a comment

A protest picket has been organised for Wednesday 6 July at 5pm outside the Falls Road Shell Garage (opposite Beechmount Leisure Centre) in Belfast.

It is vital that people across the country show both the Dublin Government and the multinationals that our national resources are not for sale and that we will not tolerate the endangering of our environment and peoples safety for the private profit of a few fat cats.

"Ireland her own and there all in from the sod to the sky"

Environmental activists in the UK were today preparing to target an oil refinery in the build-up to the G8 summit.

Green campaigners will protest outside the BP plant at Grangemouth, near Falkirk, to challenge the G8 to put the needs of people before the demands of the oil industry when leaders meet at Gleneagles. read full story / add a comment
