The U.S. embassy has just issued a warning to it's citizens to stay away from certain parts of Seoul.

Many foreigners are worried, some have already left. And all this because of a website? Welcome to Korea, one of the most reactionary and xenophobic countries in Asia. read full story / add a comment

Coca-Cola may be making noises in the UK to cut down its branding and marketing of caffeinated sugar water to children, but in the US they are steaming full bore ahead like a schoolyard bully. The "pouring rights" contracts at public schools are not just incredibly bad policy, but they have been challenged as unlawful. read full story / add a comment

This is a link to the list of recalled foods from supermarkets. The food is found to have a cancer causing food dye Sudan1. It is being taken off the shelves and if you have any of it at home, even if you bought it months ago, don't eat it. Supermarkets in the Uk are offering refunds if you return with the wrappers, I assume they are doing the same here. read full story / add a comment

To mark Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams first visit to Montserrat Abbey in Catalonia where he joined with the President of ERC Josep Carod Rovira (the Catalan republican left independence party) our own occasional contributor, Mr Eoin O Broin published at his welcomed suggestion a piece in the local english language (girona based) pan catalonia weekly paper today. Mr Adams expressed his belief that there is enough wisdom in the current Spanish gov. to help the basques sort things out, and that Mr Blair for another term is still preferable to the tories. He didn't say he had seen the BVM and I'm sure he got chocolate biscuits. And stirring words they were too. But it would breach copyright to publish them here at the moment, and so I won't. read full story / add a comment

One of the great unresolved questions of the early twenty-first century is that of Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. How far had Saddam’s WMD programs progressed prior to the United States toppling his government in 2003? And to what can we attribute the failures of U.S. intelligence – and virtually all the intelligence services throughout the world – in massively overestimating Saddam’s WMD capabilities? read full story / add a comment
