"this is a very modest step forward which is being spun as a colossal leap" P. Watt of Action Aid "President Bush's pledge today will mean an extra nine hundred million dollars each year for Africa and this is a welcome first step. Hoewver it is widely calculated that $25 billion is needed annually for Africa so we hope the announcement today is just the beginning of a much bigger US commitment to fighting poverty." - Oxfam the USA will double its aid to Africa in the next five years to those states which are "reforming" on the basis of trade and support the "war on malaria". It will not cancel debt, it will not cancel US drug patents, it will not increase US corporation tax donations on african mining or commidities. ... read full story / add a comment

[email protected] Today (Wed) in the High Court five men from Mayo face possible jail sentences because they are in contempt of court. They broke the law to seek justice. The order of committal is being sought by Shell over the Corrib gas project. The five men are Rossport landowners and part-time farmers, Willie Corduff, Phillip McGrath and Brendan Philbin; Rossport resident and musician Vincent Mc Grath and Ceathrú Thaidhg resident and retired teacher, Mícheál Ó Seighin. The five are accused of contempt because they ignored a High Court injunction prohibiting them from interfering with Shell seeking access to lands in Rossport. Shell is also seeking a High Court injunction today preventing people from denying vehicular access to a Shell compound in Rossport. Around mid-day on Tuesday of last week (June 21) a stand-off began (and is continuing) between local drivers and a compound-bound lorry on the ... read full story / add a comment

Today South African miners walked through cities in their thousands to call for an end to poverty and improved working conditions and health care and other sundry benefits and rights. Though african, and reported in BBC, RTE etc., their action won't get squeezed into the telly reports this evening. Yesterday a few thousand assembled in Madrid to say "end poverty" europeans "on message" they got their publicity telly time. Last week Glastonbury saw Mr Geldof say "end poverty" though it must be said, by supporting the Tony Blair & Gordon Brown geopolitical agenda. The man has been twice sainted. Meanwhile the British as part of their "remake the image of 3rd world poverty" are considering taking S. Africa off the G8 invite list, "coz the africans aren't hard enough on Zimbabwe" ... read full story / add a comment
