Welk plaatje dan?

quote:

In the last two months, Taliban militants have suddenly tightened the noose on this city of three million people, one of Pakistan’s biggest, establishing bases in surrounding towns and, in daylight, abducting residents for high ransoms.

The militants move unchallenged out of the lawless tribal region, just 10 miles away, in convoys of heavily armed, long haired and bearded men. They have turned up at courthouses in nearby towns, ordering judges to stay away. On Thursday they stormed a women’s voting station on the city outskirts, and they are now regularly kidnapping people from the city’s bazaars and homes. There is a feeling that the city gates could crumble at any moment.

The threat to Peshawar is a sign of the Taliban’s deepening penetration of Pakistan and of the expanding danger that the militants present to the entire region, including nearby supply lines for NATO and American forces in Afghanistan.

SEOUL, South Korea - Protesters fought riot police early Sunday at a rally opposing the resumption of American beef imports to South Korea, hours after the chief U.S. diplomat vouched for the health of U.S. cattle.

An estimated 15,000 people — some wielding steel pipes and hurling stones at police — demonstrated in Seoul on Saturday night, demanding the government rescind its decision to lift a ban on U.S. beef imports.

The rally turned violent after some protesters used ropes to try to drag away police buses being used as barricades to block the way to the presidential Blue House.

Riot police immediately fired water cannons and sprayed fire extinguishers to repel the protesters, and also used clubs and shields against the crowd.

Several hundred protesters were hurt during the rally that continued into Sunday morning, according to a coalition of civic groups that has organized weeks of demonstrations.

Police said the clash left more than 100 riot police injured. About 50 protesters were arrested on charges of assaulting police and illegally occupying streets.

Activists have staged daily rallies on the streets of the capital to voice fears about the possible health risks of U.S. beef, such as mad cow disease. As officials began inspecting U.S. beef on Friday, hundreds of labor activists blocked customs storage facilities.

Justice Minister Kim Kyung-han said in statement televised nationally Sunday that that the government will crack down against future violent protests. Officials could take measures such as the use of liquid tear gas, which has been banned in South Korea since 1999.

He said authorities will also chase, arrest and punish those who have spearheaded violent demonstrations, which he said have developed into a broader opposition to major government policy agendas.

Jang Dae-hyun, a spokesman for the protest group, said police should cease the harsh methods used against demonstrators to prevent further violence. "We've been supporting peaceful rallies, but the police crackdown is too harsh," Jang said.

The beef issue topped the agenda when Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met South Korean officials during her visit to Seoul as part of an Asian tour. She flew to China on Sunday.

"I want to assure everyone that American beef is safe," Rice told a news conference with South Korea's foreign minister, Yu Myung-hwan. "We will continue to work with you to have consumer confidence in that matter."

About 15 sign-carrying protesters gathered outside the South Korean Foreign Ministry, where Rice met with Yu.

"Rice, go home," they chanted. Placards said, "Stop Rice and Mad Cow," and "We Don't Need U.S. Troops. We Don't Need Mad Cows."

U.S. beef has been banned since late 2003, when the first case of mad cow disease in the U.S. was discovered. In the wake of public outrage over plans to resume shipments of American beef, the South Korean Cabinet offered to resign and the president reshuffled top advisers.

Until the 2003 ban, South Korea was the third-largest market for U.S. beef exporters. The U.S. beef industry has lost up to $4 billion since the market closed, according to the U.S. Meat Export Federation.

An eight-year-old boy has sparked an unlikely outcry in Sweden after failing to invite two of his classmates to his birthday party.

The boy's school says he has violated the children's rights and has complained to the Swedish Parliament.

The school, in Lund, southern Sweden, argues that if invitations are handed out on school premises then it must ensure there is no discrimination.

The boy's father has lodged a complaint with the parliamentary ombudsman.

He says the two children were left out because one did not invite his son to his own party and he had fallen out with the other one.

The boy handed out his birthday invitations during class-time and when the teacher spotted that two children had not received one the invitations were confiscated.

"My son has taken it pretty hard," the boy's father told the newspaper Sydsvenskan.

"No one has the right to confiscate someone's property in this way, it's like taking someone's post," he added.

A verdict on the matter is likely to be reached in September, in time for the next school year.
