2,400 South African miners trapped

Some 2,400 miners found themselves trapped half a mile beneath South Africa's bush veldt when militant trade unionists mounted a wildcat protest against the suspension of four shop stewards. The action at Thembelani mine, owned by Anglo American Platinum, was the latest episode in the industrial unrest that threatens a central pillar of South Africa's economy. Last year, strikes cost the miningindustry over £1 billion and the violence surrounding them claimed at least 50 lives. Nature has endowed South Africawith immense natural wealth: the country possesses the biggest platinum reserves in the world and provides two thirds of global supply of theprecious metal.

New SARS-like virus is a 'threat to the entire world'

Patient with novel coronavirusdies of organ failure, French hospital reports Half of those diagnosed with the virus have died, experts say (CNN)-- A new SARS-like virus recently found in humans is "a threat to the entire world," according to thedirector-general of the United Nations' World Health Organization. The so-called novel coronavirus "is not a problem that any single affected country can keep to itself or manage all by itself," MargaretChan said Monday in her closing remarks at the 66th World Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland. The world needs to pull together its resources to properly tackle the virus which, Chan said, is her "greatest concern" at present. "We understand too little about this virus when viewed against the magnitude of its potential threat," she said, and more information is needed "quickly" and "urgently." "We do not know where the virus hides in nature. We do not know how people are getting infected. Until we answer these questions, we are empty-handed when it comes to prevention. These are alarm bells. And we must respond," she said.Coronavirus reported in FranceHealth workers infected with coronavirusWhat is coronavirus? Novel coronavirus is part of afamily called coronaviruses, which cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to SARS,or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, as well as a variety of animal diseases. However, the new virus is notSARS. The virus had infected 44 people worldwide as of last week, most of them in the Middle East, according to the World Health Organization's most recent updateThursday.Half of them have died. Also in its Thursday update, the WHO appeared to have given the novel coronavirus aname: Middle East respiratory symptom coronavirus, or MERS-CoV. A 23rd death was reported Tuesday, when a French hospital and the French government reported a man diagnosed with the coronavirus had died of organfailure. The patient, the first of two people to be diagnosed with novel coronavirus, died at University Hospital of Lille, where he had been treated since May 9. The man contracted the virus while visiting the Arabian Peninsula, said Marisol Touraine, France's minister ofsocial affairs and health, in a statement. The second patient, also male,was in stable but very serious condition, the hospitalsaid. One of the patients shared a room with the other and contracted the virus. Joint WHO missions with Saudi Arabia and Tunisia will take place as soon as possible, with the goal of gathering the facts needed to conduct a riskassessment, Chan said Monday. 5 things to know about dangerous, SARS-like virus Earlier this month, the WHO said two health care workersin Saudi Arabia became ill while treating patients. Novel coronavirus acts like a cold virus and attacks the respiratory system, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said. But symptoms, which include feverand a cough, are severe and can lead to pneumonia and kidney failure. Gastrointestinalsymptoms such as diarrhea have also been seen, according to the WHO. It's not yet known how humanscontract the virus, experts have said. Most of the cases so far have been seen in older men with other medical conditions; precise numbers are hard to come by, as officials don't know how many people might contract a mild form. Cases have been identified in eight countries including France and Saudi Arabia, according to the WHO. Other European countries include Germany and the United Kingdom. No cases have been reportedin the United States, but infectious disease experts have saidit would not be surprising.

Mumbling Brady's contempt for his victims: Moors murderer says slaughter of five children was 'petty' and claims he is no worse than a politician as he is seen in public for first time in decades

Scientists believe they may have finally discovered why cancer spreads, which could be vital in developing a cure.

Scientists believe they may have finally discovered why cancer spreads, which could be vital in developing a cure. In a major breakthrough whichcould save millions of lives, their study has identified a mechanism known as the ‘chase and run’ effect, where diseased and healthy cells follow each other around the body. The discovery by researchers at University College London may lead to a revolutionary therapy that blocks the action and keeps tumours in one place. The researchers claim that it will be 'relatively easy' to stopthe 'chase and run' effect. Cancer claims more than 150,000 lives each year in theUK but study spokesman Professor Roberto Mayor said:‘Most deaths are not due to the formation of the primary tumour. ‘Instead people die from secondary tumours originatingfrom the first malignant cells, which are able to travel and colonise vital organs of the body such as the lungs or thebrain.’ He added: ‘This happens because the cells get healthy ones to follow them. Nobody knew how this happened, and now we believe we have uncovered it. ‘If that is the case it will be relatively easy to develop drugs that interfere with this interaction.’ The study, published in Nature Cell Biology, used two types of embryonic cells to simulate the roles of cancerous and healthy cells.

Cameron admits he fears his own children will stumble across online porn: I worry every time they grab hold of the iPad, he says... so NOW will he act? *.

David Cameron yesterday admitted he fears online porn could harm his children. The Prime Minister says he worries when any of his threechildren ‘grab hold of the iPad’ because they risk seeing obscene images. ‘The world has changed so fundamentally with the internetthat we’ve got some real threats there to our children and also from this appalling scourge of child pornography,’ he said. ‘We’ve got to take a lot of action.’ Mr Cameron is now pledging to‘put the heat’ on web firms, making them do more to remove illegal child abuse images and protect children from legal porn. At a summit tomorrow, ministers and charities will demand action from internet service providers. TalkTalk and BT announced at the weekend that customers trying to view child sex abusesites would be confronted witha pop-up warning. The ‘splash pages’ are aimed at deterring paedophiles such as Mark Bridger, who killed five-year-old April Jones after accessing sickening online material. Maria Miller, who is hosting the summit, is expected to askother operators to follow suit. The Culture Secretary said: ‘These firms have an enormous responsibility to make sure our children are protected in the best way possible. Tackling this problemis not easy when technology changes and adapts at such afast pace. ‘But I am determined to do all Ican – and to encourage industry to do all it can – to put an end to it. ‘I will say that things need to change, that enough is enough, and when I do my children will be at the forefront of my mind, as they always are.’ Mr Cameron said there was nodoubt that internet companies needed to do more on online pornography – the subject of a Daily Mail campaign. On the issue of child abuse images, he told Sky News: ‘I’mnot satisfied that internet companies do enough to help take them down. ‘That’s why we’re having thisround table in government with them to really put the heat on, [to ask them to] workwith the police, work with us so we can get these images off the internet and prosecutethose who put them there. ‘As a parent I worry, and I know people watching this programme worry massively, about what our children can get to see when they grab hold of our iPad or log on to the internet. ‘There we need to make more progress of this issue of explaining to everybody that we want to have better filters that parents can switch on to stop access to certain sites and material.’ Mr Cameron hailed the fact that web companies have pledged to introduce clean public wi-fi, so youngsters willnot be at risk of seeing porn at a Starbucks. His remarks came as a poll found a majority of the public were in favour of making search engines such as Google put automatic filters onadult sites. Fifty-four per cent believed the firms should no longer automatically provide links when people search for pornography sites. The YouGov survey of almost 1,900 people also found that women were strongly in favour of curbs on web porn.

Daughter, 18, cuts off her father's head after he raped her in their Papua New Guinea village home

Culled from dailymail. A teenage girl chopped her father's head clean off with a bush knife after he raped her in their home in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Now residents of the village have formed a protective ringaround the 18-year-old, refusing to hand her over to the police because they agreed her 'evil' father deserved to die. A local church leader, Pastor Lucas Kumi from the village of Rang in the Western Highlands, said the entire community would refuse to allow the girl to be subjected to any official investigation.'The people and leaders in our area went and saw the headless body of the father after the girl reported the incident to them and explainedwhy she had killed her father,'said Pastor Kumi. He told the Post Courier newspaper that the father, in his mid-40s, raped his daughter when they were alone in their house after the mother and two other children from the family went to visit relatives for the night.'The father went to his daughter's room in the night and raped her repeatedly. 'The father wanted to rape hisdaughter again in the morning and that was when the young girl picked up the bush knife and chopped her father's head off,' said Pastor Kumi. 'We've all agreed that she is free to stay in the community because the father deserved to die. 'The daughter did what she did because of the trauma andthe evil actions of her father, so that is why we have all agreed that she remains in the community.' He said a ring of protection had been placed around the girl, who will be kept away from any official investigation.'The community have also agreed not to conduct any formal burial service for the father.' Crimes of rape, murder, suspected witch killings and prostitution are rife throughout Papua New Guinea and as a desperate attempt tostop the lawlessness the government recently re-introduced the death penalty for serious offences. But at the weekend the Post Courier reported the results of an investigation into child prostitution, a report, it said, that will 'make you cringe.' Children aged between 13 and16, said the paper, were selling sex in the nightclubs ofthe capital, Port Moresby, fivepremises being reported to beengaged in the under-age prostitution trade. Three non-government organisations have produced a report based on interviews with no less than 175 child sex workers. 'It's true - our girls, and especial school girls, are being bought and sold for sex,' said one of the investigators.
