German TV WDR Team investigated child labour in india, made for GAP. Kindersklaverei in Indien - Testmarkt 29.10.07 -21.00 Uhr WDR Fernsehen
Einem Fernsehteam von testmarkt ist es zusammen mit einem britischen Zeitungsreporter gelungen, Kinderarbeit in Indien zu dokumentieren. Vertreter der amerikanischen Modekette GAP zeigten sich entsetzt und versprachen, der Sache sofort nachzugehen.
Von Rebecca Gudisch
Der 11-jährige Junge kauert in gebückter Haltung auf dem Fußboden und hält eine dicke Nähnadel zwischen seinen Fingern. Der verwahrloste Raum stinkt nach Kot und Urin. Der Abort auf dem Gang ist übergelaufen. Konzentriert näht der Junge kleine Perlen auf ein weißes Oberteil mit grünen aufgedruckten Schneeflocken, das über einen runden Holzrahmen gespannt ist. Im Label des Oberteils steht „Size M, 8“. Das Oberteil ist für achtjährige Kinder gedacht. Normalerweise wäre es in diesen Tagen für das Vorweihnachtsgeschäft in eine der rund 3.000 GAP-Filialen weltweit gekommen.

INTERPOL WANTED: Search for this man photographed sexually abusing children
INTERPOL is seeking the help of the public to try to identify this man, photographed sexually abusing children in a series of images posted on the Internet.
The photos shown here are from a series of around 200 pictures involving 12 different young boys, believed to have been taken in Vietnam and Cambodia in 2002 or 2003.
These pictures have been produced by specialists from Germany’s federal police force, the Bundeskriminalamt, working from originals found on the Internet, which had been digitally altered to disguise the man’s face.
Extensive police efforts worldwide to identify the man have so far failed and Interpol is now enlisting the support of the media and the public to help identify him as a priority.
Anyone with information on his identity or whereabouts should contact their local police or INTERPOL’s Trafficking in Human Beings Unit via email.

Monday, 1 October 2007 - Please Help Monks!!!!!!!!!!
Monday, 1 October 2007
Reports emerging from Rangoon indicate that the temporary detention
centres based in Yangon Institute of Technology and General Institute
of Technology (GTI) is currently detaining 500 hundred monks.
The monks are refusing to accept Sune (Alms food.....food offering given to monk
by layperson just before 12 noon as main meal of the day) from the
military junta. The local population approached these detention
centres to offer food and they have been turned away by the
authorities. Technically, the monks are unintentionally on huger
strike.
We contacted the International Red Cross's (ICRC) office and UNHCR in
Rangoon. The UN's office refused to help and ICRC bucked the
responsibility on their head office in Geneva.
Please write or Phone to ICRC, e-mail Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister
Gordon Brown. Every governments contribute funds in the running of
the UN bodies and therefore you persuade the PM and the Foreign
Secretary to pressure the UN organisations to take action on or least
ask them if they provide value for money service to the world
humanity.
Please be professional when writing to PM Gordon Brown and Secreatarty
. You can thank the British Government for their efforts so on Burma
and persuade them succinctly with sound arguments.

Report from Burma 30.09.07
We just got phone call with our sister living in Yangon about a few hours ago.
We saw on BBC world, saying that 200 monks were arrested. The true picture is far worse!!!!!!!!!
For one instance, the monastery at an obscure neighborhood of Yangon, called Ngwe Kyar Yan (on Wei-za-yan-tar Road, Yangon) had been raided early this morning.
A troop of lone-tein (riot police comprised of paid thugs) protected by the military trucks, raided the monastery with 200 studying monks. They systematically ordered all the monks to line up and banged and crushed each one's head against the brick wall of the monastery. One by one, the peaceful, non resisting monks, fell to the ground, screaming in pain. Then, they tore off the red robes and threw them all in the military trucks (like rice bags) and took the bodies away.
The head monk of the monastery, was tied up in the middle of the monastery, tortured , bludgeoned, and later died the same day, today. Tens of thousands of people gathered outside the monastery, warded off by troops with bayoneted rifles, unable to help their helpless monks being slaughtered inside the monastery. Their every try to forge ahead was met with the bayonets.
When all is done, only 10 out of 200 remained alive, hiding in the monastery. Blood stained everywhere on the walls and floors of the monastery.
Please tell your audience of the full extent of the fate of the monks please please !!!!!!!!!!!!
'Arrested' is not enough expression. They have been bludgeoned to death !!!!!!

BURMESE BLOGGERS WITHOUT BOARDERS

From the heart of ordinary citizens
Recently, I have been on phone calls with friends from Burma. At one time, a group of my friends were stuck in a room in downtown area where the protests were on-going. As they talked to me, they told me emotionally that they could see people being shot down by soldiers, being dragged away, being hit upon by iron-batons. They revealed to me how helpless they felt about seeing all these actions and not being able to help them. They asked me repeatedly: Where are UN forces? Where are international forces?
For many ordinary people in Burma, their only glimpse of hope to stop the military regime's act of atrocities, is the intervention by the international community. They keep praying that UN or international forces will miraculously appear in Yangon where people are being killed and evidence of corpses are being removed by burning them.
As the days go by and more atrocities continue to occur, with their intensity becoming more extreme, my friends in Burma stop asking me the questions about UN forces. I begin to feel their sense of frustration. There they are, innocent group of citizens, who are up against the brutal regime who has far more power than them in terms of arms and capacity. In their (Burmese people) hearts, they know that this is probably their last chance for any form of change in Burma. Afterall, it has been almost 20 years since the last 1988 uprising! In fact, Burma was plunged into many decades of suppression, corruption, and poverty since General Nay Win took over power. For them, it is NOW or NEVER.
Burmese people like me, who are outside of Burma, somewhat feel that sanctions by western countries show a form of support for Burma's freedom and raise international awareness about happenings in Burma. However, for people in Burma, those sanctions do nothing to stop the killings there. I echo their sentiments too.
Why do you think that my fellow Burmese people risked their lives to send out the video footages, pictures to outside world and had phone interviews with foreign media? One simple reason is because they want to convey the information about their situation to international community through the media. We, bloggers, also try to do our part in transferring the information as quickly as possible to the world. Even after knowing and seeing all these happenings (raiding of monastries, torturing of monks, killing of innocent people) in Burma, will the international community still continue to sing the tune of non-intervention and sanctions-policy?
Hence, I sincerely implore to the international community to take some serious action before more damage is done (i.e. more lives are lost).

Latest news burma time 16;17
i got news that 3 groups of protester are marching on the Ahnawrahta Street(which is near Sule pogada) toward Sule. it is around 4000 people. .................. in this group we found some foreigners, as well. ..... said eyewitness.
I sadly announce that the Burmese military junta has cut off the internet connection throughout the country. I therefore would not be able to feed in pictures of the brutality by the brutal Burmese military junta.
I will also try my best to feed in their demonic appetite of fear and paranoia by posting any pictures that I receive though other means (Journos!! please don’t ask me what other means would be??). I will continue to live with the motto that “if there is a will there is a way”.
We probably need to lobby the Chinese government or UN envoy to Burma to ask the junta to switch on the Internet. Please! go to the Blog!

Ein Kunde von Eddy Willems, einem Antivirus-Technologieexperten aus Brüssel, berichtete: Seine Frau kenne detaillierte Informationen bzgl. seiner Telefonkontakte, obwohl das eigentlich nicht möglich sei.

Schirm ohne Schichten
Von Hella Hoofdmann aus "DIE ZEIT"
Die Wahl von TV-Programm und Lieblingssender richtet sich nicht nach dem Bildungsniveau der Zuschauer.
Sage mir, was du siehst, und ich sage dir, wer du bist. Während am Sonntagabend der Abiturient die ZDF-Historiendoku Rom genießt, freut sich die Hauptschulabsolventin über Gülcans Traumhochzeit auf ProSieben. Das allgemeine Urteil über die Fernsehgewohnheiten des Volkes steht fest: Anspruchsvolles für die höheren Bildungsränge und Trash für die niedrigen, wobei die Öffentlich-Rechtlichen wie 3sat, Phoenix oder Arte ganz selbstverständlich den Anspruch für sich verbuchen und den Schund den Kommerziellen überlassen. more.....

Ein WDR-Film über Moraljustiz im Iran

"Zu Atefehs Hinrichtung sind viele Menschen gekommen. Es war kurz vor sechs Uhr morgens. Alle kamen, Junge, Alte, mit Fahrrädern, mit Autos. Sie mußte einen schwarzen Schleier tragen. Sie betete wunderschön aus dem Gebet des Muezzins vor und rief laut: Gott vergib mir."

CNN: Fiery plane crash at Sao Paulo airport kills at least 200
SAO PAULO, Brazil (CNN) -- A jetliner crashed and exploded into flames at Brazil's busiest airport on Tuesday night, killing at least 200 people, local rescue workers said.
As investigators prepared to open a probe into the cause of the crash of the TAM Airlines Airbus A320, questions were being raised about both the growth in Brazilian air traffic and Sao Paulo's Congonhas Airport.
The Sao Paulo fire department said at least 200 people, including some on the ground, were dead at the scene. The figure would make Tuesday's crash Brazil's deadliest air disaster.
Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva declared three days of national mourning for the victims. more....
