remember when Al-Jazeera went on-line in English, just when war tension was at its highest, and that diversion to an american flag happened?

Privatising the world: water, seeds, genes, healthcare - very few things today are not thought to be considered saleable comodities. 'The Bottom Line' investigates the privatising of the world and invites us to reflect on the 'common good' notion which is threatened both by the decreasing role of the state and the prevailing trend to patent everything that belonged to society for generations. With stories from Mexico, India, Canada and France. Mostly in English, narration is in Irish with English subtitles throughout.

An Domhan ar Díol: Uisce, síolta, géinte agus cúram sláinte - is beag rud nach féidir a dhíol sa lá atá inniu ann. Déanann an clár seo cíoradh ar phríobháidiú an domhain agus tarraingíonn ár n-aird ar an meon 'leas na ndaoine', meon atá i mbaol anois mar gheall ar ról an Stáit i saol na linne a bheith ag laghdú agus an claonadh a bhíonn ann paitinn a fháil ar gach rud, fiú rudaí a ceapadh riamh anall go mba leis an bpobal i gcoitinne iad. read full story / add a comment

Earlier today, Ed Horgan, Conor Cregan, Eoin Rice and I went out to Shannon airport with Scott Ritter who departed for the States. A few days earlier he had arrived in Ireland to testify at Mary Kelly's trial in Kilrush and to give soem public talks on the war on Iraq.
As a sign of appreciation we decided it best to give him a warm send off. The Aer Rianta folks wanted to watch too! :) They were annoyed to see us there and accused us of trespassing, even though they knew we were just seeing someone off. read full story / add a comment

It's the time of year again for the Salthill Air Show, two days when the citizens of Salthill and the Claddagh are driven almost demented by the sonic booms of the latest military hardware. It is all family entertainment, you understand. read full story / add a comment

Shiúil sí saor as an chúirt i gCill Rúisc, Co an Chláir san oíche Déardaoin ach tá seans ann fós go dtógfar os comhair cúirte arís í amach anseo.
D'admhaigh Mary go ndearna sí damáiste d'eitleán de chuid US Navy chun stop a chur leis an gcogadh i gcoinne na hIoráice. Labhair sí sa chúirt go ciúin, go réidh agus go huasal agus chuir sí tocht ar gach duine a chuala í.
Dúirt an giúistís, áfach, nach féidir áird ar bit a thabhairt ar an fínnithe a albhair ar a son. In aimheoin sin, ni rabhthas in ann tromlacht 10-2 a fháil ina haghaidh.
Bua mór ar son na síochána.

The Global Women's Strike, an independent and international grassroots women's
network, is protesting the presence of warplanes and other military technology at the
Salthill Airshow in Galway this Sunday. At any time but especially at present, it is outrageous to
mount such a display of military killing power and glorification of the 'work' of killing
over the work of caring for every life, which we women mostly do. Show your opposition to the promotion of killing
priorities over the priority of caring by joining mothers and other women in our protest or calling by our picket and stall on
the promenade, opposite Kitty O'Shea's, to offer support..... read full story / add a comment
