“Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono cool on Kevin Rudd’s Asia plan”
Australia • Indonesia

“President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has told [Australian PM] Kevin Rudd that Indonesia is unlikely to support his push for a new Asia-Pacific community as Jakarta sees the existing ASEAN bloc as its priority.   The Prime Minister discussed the community plan when he telephoned Dr Yudhoyono in Jakarta on Sunday night.   Dr Yudhoyono told Mr Rudd the community was an ‘intriguing idea to explore’  but said Jakarta’s foreign policy priority lay instead in strengthening the Association of Southeast Asian Nations”

“Liberals rap Kremlin as Stalin is worshipped”
Russia

photo

“Russian communists paid homage  to Soviet leader Josef Stalin, while liberals accused the Kremlin of conniving to whitewash the dictator.  Communist Party chiefs led a procession of largely elderly people across Red Square on the 57th anniversary of Stalin’s death, laying flowers at his grave by the Kremlin wall.  The solemn visit is an annual tradition for communists steeped in nostalgia for the Soviet era. But this year, it comes as Russia’s bitter debate over Stalin’s legacy sharpens ahead of May 9 celebrations marking 65 years since the Nazi defeat”

Dive with the fish on the Eyre Peninsula
Travel

“The Eyre Peninsula’s aquaculture industry offers a unique diving and snorkeling experience found nowhere else in Australia.  The region’s yellowtail kingfish nets give divers and snorkelers the opportunity to immerse themselves in large schools of tens of thousands of fish a concentration that is impossible to find in the wild.  Each pen holds between 20,000 and 25,000 yellowtail kingfish, which can reach more than two metres in length and weigh up to 65kg.  The fish take 15 months to grow to 4kg, when they harvested and sold to domestic and overseas markets”

Chief suspect: “Inflammation that the immune system normally uses to fight infection”
Medical

“What if you could be fat but avoid heart disease or diabetes? Scientists trying to break the fat-and-disease link increasingly say inflammation is the key.  In the quest to prove it, a major study is under way testing whether an anti-inflammatory drug – an old, cheap cousin of aspirin – can fight the Type 2 diabetes spurred by obesity.  And intriguing new research illustrates how those yellow globs of fat lurking under the skin are more than a storage site for extra calories. They’re a toxic neighbourhood where inflammation appears to be born”

Facebook friends then reported him to military authorities”

Meteorite smuggling ring exposed

“Two [Russian] smugglers — who also tried to ship out silver antiques, fossils, semi-precious stones, microscopes and old books in the suspect cargo — were initially charged with making a false declaration on their customs form.  Only after a three-month investigation did officials discover that the mystery lumps were fragments from outer space and the men part of a larger crime ring including experts and scientists, Ledovskikh said.  ‘They were part of an organized criminal gang. They had worked out a plan in advance to smuggle out of Russian territory… two meteorite chunks”

Iran: “Launches satellite rocket”
Space

“Iran said  it had launched a domestically made satellite-carrier rocket carrying live animals — a move that may increase Western concern that Tehran is trying to build a nuclear bomb.  President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad [previously] said that Iran was ready to send its enriched uranium abroad in what appeared to be an easing of its position in the nuclear dispute. He [further] said the satellite launch was a huge breakthrough which help break “the global domineering system” — a reference to Iran’s Western foes.  The Islamic Republic hoped to send astronauts into space soon, he said, speaking at a ceremony unveiling new satellite and space technology”

“British child-killers jail debate”
International Crime

“The pink-cheeked 10-year-old staring from the front pages of Britain’s newspapers is, some argue, the face of evil.  The photo is a mug shot of Jon Venables, one of Britain’s most infamous criminals, convicted along with another boy of murdering a toddler in Liverpool in 1993.  The crime shocked Britain and has remained vivid in the public memory, due partly to video images, replayed countless times on television, of two-year-old James Bulger being led to his death by the two bigger boys”

“The United Nations will review its Nobel prize-winning climate panel, whose credibility has been tarnished by errors in a key report on global warming, a spokesman said.  Calls have been mounting for a major overhaul at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), whose chairman Rajendra Pachauri has also come under fire for his stewardship of the body and alleged conflict of interest.  UN Environment Programme spokesman Nick Nuttall said at an international environmental meeting on the Indonesian resort island of Bali that an independent body would be set up to ‘review and strengthen’ the IPCC”

“Swift rebuke”
Opinion

“The programme has been credited with helping to capture the mastermind of the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings that killed more than 200 people, including some 50 Europeans.  It was instrumental in 2006 in thwarting al-Qaeda plans to detonate liquid bombs on North American-bound flights from London’s Heathrow Airport and critical in 2007 in helping to disrupt terrorism plots involving the Islamic Jihad Union, including one in Germany.  Over the past eight years, it has generated some 1,500 reports that have been shared with European allies”

“France should apologise for its role in the Rwanda genocide”
Opinion

“Nicolas Sarkozy is a brave man for confronting France’s own demons regarding its role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide, when Hutu militias slaughtered more than 800,000 Tutsis in the space of just a hundred days.   In an official visit to Kigali yesterday, the president made the first admission of guilt by a senior French politician over his country’s role during the genocide, breaking a long-standing code of silence on the matter, and opening up a huge can of worms”

Deal on Darfur: “Sudan truce offers some hope”
Opinion

“Ravaged by war and genocide, ruled by a dictator who has been indicted for war crimes, Sudan is a prime candidate to become a crisis for the Obama administration.  But there is also a small chance for peace and groundbreaking change in the next year. A hint of that came when President Omar Hassan al-Bashir signed a truce with the biggest rebel group from the region of Darfur. A full peace accord remains to be worked out, and previous truces have fallen through.  But this deal — brokered by a UN and African Union team, with help from the government of Qatar — looks somewhat more promising, and it comes at an auspicious moment”
