| Climate change: ‘human fingerprint’ found on global extreme weather Posted: 27 Mar 2017 03:01 AM PDT Global warming makes temperature patterns that cause heatwaves, droughts and floods across Europe, north America and Asia more likely, scientists find The fingerprint of human-caused climate change has been found on heatwaves, droughts and floods across the world, according to scientists. The discovery indicates that the impacts of global warming are already being felt by society and adds further urgency to the need to cut carbon emissions. A key factor is the fast-melting Arctic, which is now strongly linked to extreme weather across Europe, Asia and north America. Continue reading... |

| Federal court rules NDIS must fully fund 'necessary' supports and services Posted: 28 Mar 2017 12:37 AM PDT Landmark decision comes as court rules transport to and from Victorian man's disability support program is a 'reasonable and necessary' support The national disability insurance scheme is required to fully fund any supports or services it has deemed "reasonable and necessary", according to a landmark decision handed down in the federal court on Tuesday. The decision will mean the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), which manages the $22bn scheme, will no longer be able to offer partial funding of supports such as transport to the work or service placements set out in a person's individual care plan, ending a practice that has left the family or carers of people living with a disability out of pocket.

| Depressed by Brexit? Come to Sweden | Letters Posted: 27 Mar 2017 11:21 AM PDT According to the Swedish national television news on 22 March, more than 1,100 Britons have applied for Swedish nationality following the Brexit referendum. With house prices way below those in the UK, many hope to move to Sweden shortly. Why not you, too? Sweden is a beautiful country, and has only 10 million inhabitants in an area twice that of the whole UK. Sweden is looking for qualified workers in many branches, especially in industry, health, schooling and IT. Swedish is a Germanic language; it has, therefore, very many similarities with English and is pretty easy to pick up. While Sweden has fantastic summers, it can get a bit chilly in winter. But please note, there are no polar bears walking the streets, just plenty of wildlife in the forests. Lots of useful information on Wikipedia. |
| Modern slavery on UK cannabis farms | Letters Posted: 27 Mar 2017 11:11 AM PDT The anti-slavery commissioner has complained that data gathering for tracking victims of cannabis farms is "a mess" (Police 'failing to tackle' slave trafficking on cannabis farms, 25 March). It's actually much worse than that. We have just published a study of 39 young men working on cannabis farms in conditions of trafficking and forced labour. Despite the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the judges knowing in around half of the cases that they were victims of modern slavery, and despite the commissioner stating that they are not prosecuted, nearly all were in fact sentenced to prison terms, some for as long as 20 months. This not only makes a nonsense of the statutory defence for victims, which should prevent them being criminalised, it shows how ill-prepared the criminal justice system is to address issues of modern slavery. Meanwhile, as the commissioner notes, there has not been a single prosecution of the cannabis traffickers. • Your article sheds much-needed light on the dreadful consequences of UK policy on cannabis. Two very important points are missing, however. Continue reading... |
| Exploring the links between religion and violence | Letters Posted: 27 Mar 2017 10:45 AM PDT The problem remains with all religions that literal interpretations of sacred texts, favoured by fundamentalists, leave vulnerable people open to exploitation by those whose purpose is evil (Well-trodden path from criminality to extremism, 25 March). Clearly, mainstream Muslim leaders must challenge such aberrations. But seeing the pictures of the young Khalid Masood at school, Keir Starmer's words "if you want a really effective criminal justice strategy, you don't build bigger prisons, you invest money in young kids" (Interview, 25 March) ring out most effective. • Though now a lapsed, recovering, Catholic, from 1947 to 1965 I was fully versed daily by priests, monks and nuns in Christian lore and practice. Contrary to your editorial (27 March), we were commanded to "turn the other cheek" and to pray for, not to slaughter or even harass, non-believers. Medieval Christians did mercilessly torture and murder selected heretics in order to steal their assets; but that was politics as usual, not religion. |

| Church of England to create bishop for minority ethnic community Posted: 27 Mar 2017 07:38 AM PDT Anglicans tackle divisive legacy of 1950s and win Queen's permission to set up new post in one of UK's first majority black cities The Church of England is creating a new bishop specifically to reach out to black, Asian and minority ethnic people and to drive cultural change in one of the UK's most diverse cities.

| Why have I been arrested? Maybe you killed Kennedy, the Russian officer said Posted: 27 Mar 2017 04:59 AM PDT I was detained by riot police while covering a demonstration in Moscow. The treatment of peaceful protesters was shocking I raised my phone to take a photo as riot police suddenly began detaining protesters, but before I could get the picture a pair of thick arms grabbed me. A trooper in a black helmet and flak jacket was barrelling me toward a police van. "I'm a foreign journalist," I kept repeating in Russian. "Open your legs wider," was all he said as he pushed me face-first up against the truck and started patting me down. Continue reading... |

| Charlotte Amalie in the spotlight: beloved of cruise ships, neglected by US Posted: 27 Mar 2017 04:00 AM PDT The US Virgin Islands capital used to be a favourite stop for hard-drinking pirates. Today, it boasts grand architecture, a lively arts scene – and an identity that is very much non-American The Caribbean's busiest cruise-ship destination, the city of Charlotte Amalie is celebrating a sea-change centenary. One hundred years ago on Friday, the US paid $25m in gold coins to Denmark, buying what became the US Virgin Islands archipelago. One of these islands was St Thomas, the 13-mile-long island that seats the 18,000-strong capital, whose deep-water harbour has made Charlotte Amalie the first port of call for turquoise waters, artisanal jewellery and copious rum cocktails. |
