 Britain and France have officially introduced the text for a new UN Security Council resolution calling for further sanctions against Iran, over what they term, ‘Iran’s refusal to halt its nuclear program’. This call for a new resolution is despite the fact that Iran has been subjected to and has entertained the most extensive inspections in the history of the IAEA and has continuously maintained that its nuclear program is exclusively for
peaceful purposes. Up to date, no such evidence has been found to contradict this official declaration by Iran. Be first to comment this article

 Hassan Juma'a, President of the Iraqi Oil Workers Union will be speaking with Ibrahim Mousawi, editor of a journal linked to Lebanon's Hezbollah for their only meeting in London. This meeting is a chance to hear key figures from the Middle East and leading activists and writers from Britain discuss the impact of the War on Terror and the continuing campaign to get the troops out. Five years after the invasion of Iraq the world has become a much more dangerous place. As many as one million people have been killed during the occupation of Iraq. The country’s infrastructure is in shreds. Gordon Brown has promised British withdrawals, but there are still 5,000 British soldiers in Iraq. The only reason they are staying there is to give political cover to George Bush’s continuing occupation.Be first to comment this article |

 David Miliband loves democracy. We all love democracy. We also love capitalism, social welfare, child health, book learning and leatherback turtles. We would like the whole world to love them too, and we stand ready to persuade
it so. But do we shoot anyone who refuses?
It is hardly credible that two centuries since Immanuel Kant wrestled with this oldest of ethical conundrums, a British government still cannot tell the difference between espousing a moral imperative and enforcing one.

 Furious Serbs protesting at western support for Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence set fire to the American embassy in Belgrade last night, as hundreds of thousands of demonstrators converged on the Serbian
capital. The attack on the embassy came after hundreds of protesters, watched passively by police, peeled away from the main rally to invade the building in the centre of the capital, using sticks and metal bars.Be first to comment this article |

 The UN nuclear watchdog chief Mohammed ElBaradei said on Friday that Iran in the last few months had provided the IAEA with visits to many places, that enabled them to have a clearer picture of its current program. ElBaradei, making comments after releasing his 11-page report on Iran here on Friday, said, "In addition to our work, to clarify Iran's past nuclear activities, we have to make sure, naturally, that Iran's current activities are also exclusively for peace purposes and for that we have been asking Iran to conclude the so called Additional Protocol, which gives us the additional authority to visit places, additional authority to have additional documents, to be able to provide assurance, not only that Iran's declared activities are for peaceful purposes but that there are no undeclared nuclear activities.Be first to comment this article |
