Chinese police clampdown on anti-government protests
Despite their efforts to block information spreading about the Arab uprisings, anti-government protests have erupted in several cities. But an emphatic show of force by police in Shanghai quickly ended the protest.
It was a similar story in downtown Beijing where lines of police checked passers-by and warned away demonstrators.
A rash of detentions and censorship of online discussions have shown that the Communist Party is concerned about any challenge to its rule.
Residents in Hong Kong, however, enjoy a little more freedom. Some inspired by the so-called Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia took to the streets. Police soon ended the demonstration.
A call for protests a week ago brought out few people. But dozens of dissidents and human rights activists have reportedly been detained or warned to avoid any action which risks social stability.
Irish PM complains about bailout interest rate in US
On a St Patrick’s Day visit to Washington, Ireland’s newly elected prime minister Enda Kenny continued to gripe about the interest rate that the EU and the International Monetary Fund is charging Dublin for its bailout.
In an interview with Bloomberg Television Kenny said it was “unfair” on Ireland’s tax payers calling the 5.8 percent average rate Ireland pays for its loans “too severe.”
He also stressed that there is no chance of Ireland cutting its low corporate-tax rat as part of a bailout package.
Kenny said: “It is grossly unfair to expect the taxpayer to have to pay 100 percent for the reckless lending practices of banks which caused this in the first instance.”
After a meeting with US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner during his visit, Kenny also said it was possible that Ireland could talk to the US about borrowing money from the Federal Reserve as part of the plan to rescue the Irish banking system.

Six killed in protest crackdown in Syria
Six people are said to have been killed and dozens more wounded in Syria after security forces opened fire on protesters.
Residents say the shooting happened at the Omari mosque in the southern city of Deraa, which has been the focal point of a string of small but unprecedented rallies calling for the end of the ruling Assad regime.
The demonstrations have also reportedly spilled over into nearby towns. Eyewitnesses reported gatherings of hundreds of people. They said they were dispersed by the security forces.
Local sources say ten people have been killed in clashes with the security forces during six days of demonstrations. The ruling Baath Party has banned opposition parties and enforced emergency laws since 1963. But there are now popular calls for political freedom and an end to corruption.
Trauma fears for Japan’s young disaster victims
What they have been through is unimaginable.
Japan’s disasters have robbed many children of everything – their homes, family and friends. And while young survivors’ immediate needs are a priority, the fear is they could face long-term psychological trauma.
!http://www.euronews.net/media/buttons/japan-btn2-en.jpg!”:/tag/japan-disaster/ “Yes, many children as they grow up are going to live with the consequence of the shock of this devastation,” said Hironobu Shibuya, Chief Executive Officer at Save the Children, Japan.
Tests for radioactive contamination may well prove clear but the simple fact they lived near the stricken nuclear plant could be held against them.
“People from Fukushima, especially kids, may face discrimination, just because they are from the region,” said Dr Keiko Yamada at a clinic in the city of Yonezawa.
Around 100,000 children have been displaced by the earthquake and tsunami, according to the Save the Children charity. It says stability and protection are needed to safeguard their physical and emotional well-being.
In Yonezawa, a four-year-old evacuee from Fukushima explained what she experienced:
“The glass in my house was shattered and my friend’s house was damaged and my grandmother’s house, too,” she said.
From problems sleeping to aggression or withdrawal, the symptoms of trauma are varied. As time passes and the world’s attention shifts from Japan, the hope is that its children won’t be forgotten.

Clinton urges Bahrain to allow peaceful protests
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday called on Bahrain to show restraint and “hold accountable” those who used deadly force against anti-government protesters.
Clinton said she told her counterpart Sheikh Khaled bin Ahmad al-Khalifa of “our deep concerns about the actions of the security forces” in deadly protests.
“We call on restraint from the government to keep its commitment to hold accountable those who have utilised excessive force against peaceful demonstrators,” said Washington’s chief diplomat.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon echoed Clinton’s comments, describing the violence as “deeply troubling.”
“It must stop,” Ban told reporters in New York. “Those responsible must be brought to justice.”
Bahrain’s military put tanks onto the streets of the capital Manama to restore order after anti-regime protests in the city’s Pearl Square.
Demonstrators, largely Shia Muslims, want constitutional reform and a greater say in how the country is run.
Bahrain has been ruled by a Sunni royal family since the 18th century, although 70 percent of its population are Shias.
Sex equality ruling ‘may make us all worse off’
Insurance companies have been quick to criticise a ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) that will mean they will no longer be able to offer different rates according to clients’ gender.
At present, women generally pay lower car insurance premiums than men as they are statistically less likely to have accidents.
But the EU’s top court ruled on Tuesday morning that “taking the gender of the insured individual into account as a risk factor in insurance contracts constitutes discrimination.”
Unisex premiums will need to be enforced across the European Union from December 21, 2012. Governments and insurers will have until that date to adapt. It’s thought the ruling will have significant consequences for both insurance companies and their customers. In the United Kingdom alone companies will have to raise more than a billion euros to cover themselves against “new uncertainties” in the market, according to one think-tank.
The cost is then expected to be passed on to consumers. For example, a 17-year old female driver may find herself paying around 5,000 euros more in car insurance premiums by the time she has reached 26, a rise of around 25 percent. Men’s premiums meanwhile could fall by around 10 percent, says The Association of British Insurers, in order to make premiums equal.
But men may also suffer later in life as the change in law will also impact on pensions.
Men, whose lives are statistically shorter than women’s, currently enjoy a larger annual pension for the same amount of money invested. This will now have to change, with men’s annuities being reduced to bring them into line with the amount women receive.
EU member states have been allowed to give insurers some leeway in taking gender into account when analysing risk but this was challenged by the Belgian consumer group Test-Achats. The ECJ’s advocate-general agreed with Test-Achats that factoring in gender violated the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the Lisbon Treaty.
UK Conservative MEPs have joined insurers in criticising the ruling, with one calling it “utter madness” and a “setback for common sense.”
Educating tomorrow’s scientists
Science, with all its facts and figures, can be a tough subject to learn and just does not appeal to some. But it can be a lot of fun, and that is the main message of the Science Academy Festival in Paris. It encourages young learners to open their eyes and see the wonders of the world behind the dull textbooks and dry statistics. It also aims to challenge the traditional, negative view of making mistakes.
Livio Riboli-Sasco, Founder and spokesperson of Paris Montagne Association explained: “The idea isn’t simply to say that science is a life opportunity for young people. It’s a way of exploring a scientific approach, of adopting an attitude of questioning things as people do in society.”
Research scientist Fran?�ois Tadd?�i said: “Science is usually taught at school by telling pupils “look these are the facts, now learn them by heart” —how an aeroplane works, how a computer works. But science is also about research, exploring byways and backroads without really knowing where you are. By developing ideas, exploring them, you might trip up and make mistakes, but you learn through these mistakes, you improve and progressively develop new things.”
Reality TV might not seem the most fertile ground for scientific inspiration but one popular show in Qatar is taking the format in an entirely new direction. ‘Stars of Science’ throws together young people from across the Arab world in a fun-filled but challenging environment. We took at how inspiration meets entertainment in Doha.
In each series, 16 young students compete to produce the best scientific invention. It is a challenge both for the students and for the final jury. The top four prizes total 600,000 US dollars. During the show students work with professors and use the facilities at Qatar’s Science and Technology Park, which is also a start-up incubator. The park is run by Qatar Foundation. The country is obviously investing in its educational institutions as well as its students, although in some other Arab countries there is still work to be done.
In South Africa the founders of the ‘Next Einstein initiative’ at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences certainly hope so. Centres of excellence are springing up across Africa, giving new opportunities to tomorrow’s scientists and mathematicians.
On the Cape Peninsula, the absolute southern tip of Africa, some of the Continent’s brightest young minds are at work. The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences is an oasis of maths and science for Africa??�s young people.
Out of 500 applicants from all over Africa, only 50 students are selected for this programme. They all have a degree in physics, mathematics, engineering or computer sciences. At the Institute they are taught by lecturers from all over the world – and are aiming for the heights of intellectual achievement.
Students here have research tools which are not always available at African Universities. The institution also provides networking opportunities, which opens many doors for graduates.
Kurdish protesters clash with police in Turkey
There have been clashes between Kurdish protesters and police in Turkey during demonstrations marking the 12th anniversary of the capture of Kurdish separatist leader Abdullah Ocalan.
Protesters threw missiles during clashes in 12 towns and cities. Police used tear gas and water cannons to break up the crowds, angry about Kurdistan Workers’ Party leader Ocalan’s ongoing imprisonment. At least 30 people were arrested.
Tunisia stretched by refugee flow from Libya
Tunisia’s capacity to absorb refugees fleeing the fighting in Libya is being tested to the limit.
Tens of thousands of foreign workers and their families are pouring over the border.
Euronews correspondent Jamal Ezzedini is at a camp in Ras Jdir.
“Thousands of Egyptians and other foreigners are flooding across the border at Ras Jdier, between Libya and Tunisia,” he reports. “About 40,000 have crossed fleeing what they say is hell in Libya. We’ve seen big efforts have been made by the local Tunisian authorities to help and give aid to Egyptians and other foreigners by giving them food, drinks, blankets, and clothes. At the moment there are dozens of Tunisian cars evacuating the Egyptians to Ben Gardane and Jerba. They will be staying in youth hostels and at sportsgrounds until they can go back to their own countries.”

Gold keeps hitting?�new record highs on an almost daily basis. On Wednesday it went above $1,440 an ounce.?�Investors are piling into the precious metal as a safe haven from risk because of fears that violence in the Middle East and North Africa will spread.?�Analysts said that?�any fresh unrest in the region is likely to push the price higher.?�?�Silver prices are also at their strongest in 31 years. ?�Gold rose?�six percent in February, its biggest one-month climb since August, largely on the back of unrest that unseated leaders in Tunisia and Egypt before spreading to Libya, Bahrain, Yemen, Oman and elsewhere.?�Ongoing violence in the region cooled investors’ appetite for assets seen as higher risk, like shares, and boosted other so-called safe havens like US Treasuries, German government bonds and the Swiss franc.
Yemeni students protest in renamed ‘Tahrir Square’
Thousands of people in Yemen have been staging a sit-in outside the university in the capital Sanaa, demanding an end to President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s 32 years in power.
Students have been joined by opposition politicians who allied themselves to the movement yesterday.
They have renamed the focal point of the demonstration “Tahrir Square”, inspired by the revolt in Egypt.
So far there has been no attempt to break up the protest by security forces. Supporters of the regime, who have attacked demonstrators in recent days, have been kept away.
Elsewhere, in the southern port of Aden at least four people were reported killed yesterday as police moved to break up protests.
The deaths came as President Ali Adbullah Saleh condemned violence which he said was carried out by “thugs” who were not members of the security forces.
But his renewed call for dialogue has fallen on deaf ears. A coalition of opposition parties said there could be no dialogue with a government which, it said, gathered mercenaries to terrorise people.
The president has said he will not seek re-election. Even so the protests have been gaining momentum in Yemen since the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, amid widespread anger over poverty, unemployment and corruption.
Warnings of more violence in western Libya
Armed rebels have set up checkpoints to control access to Nalut in western Libya.
They overran the town on Monday and want to stop it falling back into the hands of forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi. The Libyan leader has reportedly deployed his army to the area in an attempt to reassert control of the region.
Read our news file
A few kilometres east in Adjabiya, several military weapons stores were attacked from the air. People in the town think the aim was to prevent Gaddafi’s enemies from using the weapons against him.
Libya’s wave of revolt has spread from the east. Gaddafi is dug in in Tripoli, the capital.
Both sides have become entrenched and experts say the direction the uprising takes next could depend on who can hold out the longest.
There have been numerous defections to the rebel cause, and harsh international sanctions have been imposed. Some experts say Gaddafi’s hold on power has never been so weak but the Libyan leader appeared unconcerned in an interview yesterday.
Gaddafi’s remarks that the Libyan people still loved him prompted the US to label him “delusional.”
For many in the international community, the question now is, how long can Gaddafi last?
Bahrain frees political prisoners
In what is thought to be a gesture of good will, a number of political prisoners in Bahrain have been released from jail.
It is one of the first actual deeds backing up the the pledge by the kingdom’s royal family to embark on a constructive path to political reform.
An alleged coup plotter, Hassan Mushaimaa will also have welcomed this move. He is set to return after living in exile in London and is hoping threats to arrest him will now be dropped.
Protesters are still occupying Pearl Square waiting for more evidence of change and reform.
The crown prince has met with some opposition leaders although no dialogue has yet begun.
The majority Shi’ites want more of a say in the running of the country where power lies in the hands of the minority Sunnis.

Irish to deliver verdict on leaders at ballot box
Voting is underway in Ireland, the first eurozone member to hold a general election after receiving a massive bail-out.
The country’s ruling Fianna Fail is expected to pay the price for the collapse of the Celtic Tiger’s economy. Voters are angry over the bursting of a property bubble that has left them steeped in debt and facing years of austerity to repay the European Union and the International Monetary Fund for an 85 billion euro handout.
This is likely to spell success for the centre-right Fine Gael party. Polls suggest its leader Enda Kenny could form a single party administration for the first time in its 80-year history. But most analysts expect it will form a coalition with the centre-left Labour party of Eamon Gilmore.
The expected humiliation of Fianna Fail, which has dominated the Irish politics since its independence, will mark a turning point, and could be the sharpest fall in support for any Irish party.
EU practical, legal steps against fake drugs
The fight against counterfeit medicines has a new European directive on its side, approved by the European Parliament and expected to win the green light soon from the EU member states. This introduces safety feature requirements such as serial numbers or holograms on packaging.
Counterfeit seizures at EU borders have quadrupled in the past four years. There were more than 11 million in 2009, and experts say consumers must be aware that fake batches can be mixed in with real drugs.
The EU law is especially aimed at beating back booming internet sales of counterfeits.
Web sites will have to register with national and the EU authorities, but John Dalli, European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Policy, said buyers beware: “We can do our utmost to prevent people from being duped, but if someone wants to take the risk, there is very little we can do to stop him.”
The costs of the safety measures born by the drugs industry could potentially hit conventional consumers. Watchdogs are also worried about sensitive personal information being stored in pharmacy databases then being shared across national borders.
euronews visits fallen Benghazi military base
euronews journalist Mohamed Elhamy has been filming in Benghazi. He visited an abandoned military base that fell into the hands of anti-government supporters two weeks ago.
It took the rebels five days to achieve their goal, with the loss of numerous lives.
Our reporter met one of those who took part in the assault.
The man told euronews: We stayed for five days, going backwards and forewards. We kept coming back, checking things out. The batallion continued to kill people. As we advanced, they kept killing, so we stopped. Other people living elsewhere heard about this and came and joined us. They werent happy to hear that local people were dying.
In the basement of the military camps are prisons and stocks of weapons. The rebels released the prisoners they found. One young man told euronews how proud he was of the victory over the soldiers.
Its the most important batallion in Benghazi, he said. Everything is there in the batallion. You see those stocks of arms there? When Gaddafi used to come, he would go straight to the batallion.
The casualty list in Benghazi is long: more than 250 dead and more than 2000 injured.
Mohamed Elhamy said: With the fall of the Al Fadhil batallion, it was the whole city that fell into the hands of the rebels. The base was often visited by Gaddafi, which explains the level of the destruction here.

WAT IS CONCREET DE BEDOELING??
De bedoeling is dat u op regelmatige basis een bericht toevoegt op uw blog. U kan hierin zetten wat u zelf wenst.
- Bijvoorbeeld: u heeft een blog gemaakt voor gedichten. Dan kan u bvb. elke dag een gedicht toevoegen op uw blog. U geeft de titel in van het gedicht en daaronder in het bericht het gedicht zelf. Zo kunnen uw bezoekers dagelijks terugkomen om uw laatste nieuw gedicht te lezen. Indien u meerdere gedichten wenst toe te voegen op eenzelfde dag, voegt u deze toe als afzonderlijke berichten, dus niet in één bericht.
- Bijvoorbeeld:
u wil een blog maken over de actualiteit. Dan kan u bvb. dagelijks een bericht plaatsen met uw mening over iets uit de actualiteit. Bvb. over een bepaalde ramp, ongeval, uitspraak, voorval,... U geeft bvb. in de titel het onderwerp waarover u het gaat hebben en in het bericht plaatst u uw mening over dat onderwerp. Zo kan u bvb. meedelen dat de media voor de zoveelste keer het fout heeft, of waarom ze nu dat weer in de actualiteit brengen,... Of u kan ook meer diepgaande artikels plaatsen en meer informatie over een bepaald onderwerp opzoeken en dit op uw blog plaatsen. Indien u over meerdere zaken iets wil zeggen op die dag, plaatst u deze als afzonderlijke berichten, zo is dit het meest duidelijk voor uw bezoekers.
- Bijvoorbeeld: u wil een blog maken als dagboek. Dagelijks maakt u een bericht aan met wat u er wenst in te plaatsen, zoals u anders in een dagboek zou plaatsen. Dit kan zijn over wat u vandaag hebt gedaan, wat u vandaag heeft gehoord, wat u van plan bent, enz. Maak een titel en typ het bericht. Zo kunnen bezoekers dagelijks naar uw blog komen om uw laatste nieuwe bericht te lezen en mee uw dagboek te lezen.
- Bijvoorbeeld: u wil een blog maken met plaatselijk nieuws. Met uw eigen blog kan u zo zelfs journalist zijn. U kan op uw blog het plaatselijk nieuws vertellen. Telkens u iets nieuw hebt, plaats u een bericht: u geeft een titel op en typt wat u weet over het nieuws. Dit kan zijn over een feest in de buurt, een verkeersongeval in de streek, een nieuwe baan die men gaat aanleggen, een nieuwe regeling, verkiezingen, een staking, een nieuwe winkel, enz. Afhankelijk van het nieuws plaatst u iedere keer een nieuw bericht. Indien u veel nieuws heeft, kan u zo dagelijks vele berichten plaatsen met wat u te weten bent gekomen over uw regio. Zorg ervoor dat u telkens een nieuw bericht ingeeft per onderwerp, en niet zaken samen plaatst. Indien u wat minder nieuws kan bijeen sprokkelen is uiteraard 1 bericht per dag of 2 berichten per week ook goed. Probeer op een regelmatige basis een berichtje te plaatsen, zo komen uw bezoekers telkens terug.
- Bijvoorbeeld: u wil een blog maken met een reisverslag. U kan een bericht aanmaken per dag van uw reis. Zo kan u in de titel opgeven over welke dag u het gaat hebben, en in het bericht plaatst u dan het verslag van die dag. Zo komen alle berichten onder elkaar te staan, netjes gescheiden per dag. U kan dus op éénzelfde dag meerdere berichten ingeven van uw reisverslag.
- Bijvoorbeeld:
u wil een blog maken met tips op. Dan maakt u telkens u een tip heeft een nieuw bericht aan. In de titel zet u waarover uw tip zal gaan. In het bericht geeft u dan de hele tip in. Probeer zo op regelmatige basis nieuwe tips toe te voegen, zodat bezoekers telkens terug komen naar uw blog. Probeer bvb. 1 keer per dag, of 2 keer per week een nieuwe tip zo toe te voegen. Indien u heel enthousiast bent, kan u natuurlijk ook meerdere tips op een dag ingeven. Let er dan op dat het meest duidelijk is indien u pér tip een nieuw bericht aanmaakt. Zo kan u dus bvb. wel 20 berichten aanmaken op een dag indien u 20 tips heeft voor uw bezoekers.
- Bijvoorbeeld:
u wil een blog maken dat uw activiteiten weerspiegelt. U bent bvb. actief in een bedrijf, vereniging of organisatie en maakt elke dag wel eens iets mee. Dan kan je al deze belevenissen op uw blog plaatsen. Het komt dan neer op een soort van dagboek. Dan kan u dagelijks, of eventueel meerdere keren per dag, een bericht plaatsen op uw blog om uw belevenissen te vertellen. Geef een titel op dat zeer kort uw belevenis beschrijft en typ daarna alles in wat u maar wenst in het bericht. Zo kunnen bezoekers dagelijks of meermaals per dag terugkomen naar uw blog om uw laatste belevenissen te lezen.
- Bijvoorbeeld: u wil een blog maken uw hobby. U kan dan op regelmatige basis, bvb. dagelijks, een bericht toevoegen op uw blog over uw hobby. Dit kan gaan dat u vandaag een nieuwe postzegel bij uw verzameling heeft, een nieuwe bierkaart, een grote vis heeft gevangen, enz. Vertel erover en misschien kan je er zelfs een foto bij plaatsen. Zo kunnen anderen die ook dezelfde hobby hebben dagelijks mee lezen. Als u bvb. zeer actief bent in uw hobby, kan u dagelijks uiteraard meerdere berichtjes plaatsen, met bvb. de laatste nieuwtjes. Zo trek je veel bezoekers aan.
WAT ZIJN DIE "REACTIES"?
Een bezoeker kan op een bericht van u een reactie plaatsen. Een bezoeker kan dus zelf géén bericht plaatsen op uw blog zelf, wel een reactie. Het verschil is dat de reactie niet komt op de beginpagina, maar enkel bij een bericht hoort. Het is dus zo dat een reactie enkel gaat over een reactie bij een bericht. Indien u bvb. een gedicht heeft geschreven, kan een reactie van een bezoeker zijn dat deze het heel mooi vond. Of bvb. indien u plaatselijk nieuws brengt, kan een reactie van een bezoeker zijn dat deze nog iets meer over de feiten weet (bvb. exacte uur van het ongeval, het juiste locatie van het evenement,...). Of bvb. indien uw blog een dagboek is, kan men reageren op het bericht van die dag, zo kan men meeleven met u, u een vraag stellen, enz. Deze functie kan u uitschakelen via "Instellingen" indien u dit niet graag heeft.
WAT IS DE "WAARDERING"?
Een bezoeker kan een bepaald bericht een waardering geven. Dit is om aan te geven of men dit bericht goed vindt of niet. Het kan bvb. gaan over een bericht, hoe goed men dat vond. Het kan ook gaan over een ander bericht, bvb. een tip, die men wel of niet bruikbaar vond. Deze functie kan u uitschakelen via "Instellingen" indien u dit niet graag heeft.
Het Bloggen.be-team wenst u veel succes met uw gloednieuwe blog!
