Zoos - a case for and against.
ZOOS - TO MANY they are grotesque relics of the Victorian Age when great collectors paraded their trophies to a curious world without television or flight while to others they perform vital conservation work. Every week, new baby animals or born into captivity. Groups have called for the abolition of zoos for decades. Reporter Ted Jeory went to Colchester Zoo in Essex to put their arguments to its French owner.

Kabul by Submarine
[Introduction by Tom Engelhardt: At this point, Afghanistan is certainly the forgotten war and the forgotten "nation-building" project. As Ahmed Rashid, superb reporter and author of the authoritative book Taliban, has written recently in the New York Review of Books, there's a reason why. Most of the country remains a failing non-state. Rashid recently went back to Afghanistan, essentially to retrace a trip he took in 1994-95 when he first covered the Taliban, a bizarre movement largely created by the Pakistani intelligence services and jihadis whose oppressive version of "Islam" bore little relation to anything Afghans had ever known.

Its aims are to educate people about social, environmental and cultural issues through various mediums such as talks, theatre, events, film and debates...
Although it does have a serious message, to make people more aware of social inequality and environmental concerns, it is also designed to celebrate cultural diversity...
This event is incredibly important as it tackles worldwide issues of fundamental importance. We want to encourage people to think on a more global level, to think 'outside the square they live in'. Although this event is a university-based one and whilst we do want to tackle student apathy, in line with our broad outlook we want to make this event accessible to all in the Cambridge area, both 'town and gown'...

Democratic Stop the War Coalition???
Looks like hackney STWC are trying to make the national organisation more open and democratic. I don't fancy their chances much, but good on them for trying! I wonder if Cambridge Stop the War 'Coalition' will be supporting this resolution (see below). I look forward to their consultation with all the Cambridge peace and anti-capitalist groups before the national conference on the 28th of Feb ;-)
