The British Nuclear industry does not only include THORP issues which are familiar with most - Sellafield popped into the news today with a trade union case being dismissed in London which suggests worker relations are not their best at the plant. And the IT services have just been outsourced. read full story / add a comment

The evacuation of New Orleans in the face of Hurricane Ivan looked sinisterly like Strom Thurmond's version of the Rapture. Affluent white people fled the Big Easy in their SUVs, while the old and car-less -- mainly Black -- were left behind in their below-sea-level shotgun shacks and aging tenements to face the watery wrath. read full story / add a comment

See how the fat cats network: "Alongside O'Leary at this press briefing sat David Bonderman - boss of Texas Pacific, who own Gate Gourmet - and the man O'Leary hopes will bankroll his medieval pillaging of the rest of the airline industry. O'Leary and Bonderman (who, incidentally, is also chairman of Ryanair) are already tied up through their joint interest in Texas Pacific, the venture capital firm which took over Gate in 2003. Bonderman is so loaded that he spent an estimated $7 million on his birthday party - with live music from the Rolling Stones, no less, and a stand-up routine from Robin Williams." read full story / add a comment

Hundreds of thousands are left homeless. Tens of thousands have been shipped to Texas as refugees. Buildings have collapsed. Entire communities have been reduced to rubble. The city of New Orleans, one of the centres of history and culture in the US, will likely be uninhabitable for months. The death toll from Katrina is certainly in the hundreds, and it will probably reach the thousands. Some commentators say this was all unavoidable, but that is a lie.

New Orleans is under water, they're talking about evacuating the refugee centre in the stadium and car lots, the drinking water supply is gone. Maybe there's a million homeless, the dead will be in hundreds, the next storm is brewing in the carribean, the oil wells are closed, the crops of the mississippi valley are destroyed. People are stealing tvs from the mall. read full story / add a comment

250 sub saharan africans attempted to cross the border into the European Union at melilla yesterday in a day of frenetic activity for the Guardia Civil in which migrant died, though Spanish Government sources are discounting any connection. Spanish national police for their part have called publically on the Moroccan authorities to stem the "avalanche". The migrants had attempted to vault the wire fence and mine field which marks the boundary between the EU and Morocco at the enclave of Melilla. read full story / add a comment

The public disquiet raised by the presence of arms in society might lay behind the media interest in Catalonia in an incident this last week which saw young recently recruited police officers fire 4 shots at 1.75m described as "warning shots fired in the air" in response to an incident involving persistent graffiti taggers. The incident occured at a public metro city during an annual street festival which figures on the August itinerary for many tourists including Irish men and women, boys and girls. read full story / add a comment

A series of demonstrations in the cities of Xanthi and Komotini, followed by a march towards the "refugees reception center" in Vena, took place in the frame of the "Actions Against the Borders". Outside the detention center, the protestors had a violent conflict with the police while trying to get in. Finally, a group entered the place and managed to write down the names of the refugees, in order to submit asylum requests on behalf of them, while video-taping the place and the awful living conditions. At the first day, during a demonstration across the Greek-Bulgarian borders, two vans were temporarily blocked on Bulgarian side. Finally, given the pressure by the demonstrators on the Greek side, they were allowed to cross the borders.
