Ahoy there Landlubbers! Get ready to tune in to another baddy chasing, wind generating, solar cooking edition of your Riseup! Radio.

You can hear about the situation in Zimbabwe as we interview a Notts-based MDC activist, and we talk to Aran from Transition Nottingham about preparing for a descent of our energy use. We've got live music from poet and performer Joss, and more word-smithery from the DIY poets.

Another Franco-German nuclear waste transport this autumn

01-05-2008 04:32

German authorities have allowed another transport of highly active nuclear waste from France to the north German village of Gorleben this year.
It will be the first since 2006 and as usual is expected in autumn on dates not yet revealed.
Each transport by train and trucks usually costs about 30 million euros to police as thousands of demonstrators from all over Germany converge on Gorleben, roughly equidistant between Hamburg and Hanover.
About 20,000 police drawn from all over Germany are usually marshalled into the area to assure passage on the last 20 kilometres of the journey by heavy-duty, low-loader trucks from a railhead at Dannenberg to the prefabricated storage hall at Gorleben.

Israel Again Claims "Oops!" Regarding Murdered Journalist

01-05-2008 01:29

Does the Israeli military only recruit the blind, and then forget to train their recruits?

This is the only rational explanation for the sheer volume of "mistakes" it claims to have made.

It said this when it targeted and murdered UN personnel after they reported Israeli War Crimes in Lebanon.

They do it any time someone supporting the Palestinians, or threatening to tell the whole story, is murdered.

As Predicted: Israel Makes New "Generous Offer"

01-05-2008 01:24

Since the Coup attempt coordinated by the Extremists in the US and Israel succeeding in dividing the Palestinian political class, I've been waiting for Israel to announce its new "offer" which would demand further sacrifices of the Palestinians, no compromise on the part of Israel, and a complete avoidance of Israel's outstanding legal and moral obligations.

Well, here it is ... History repeats itself.
