17-01-2006 03:04 | Anti-militarism | Ecology | Health | World

This is a deadly message to Southeastern Asian Countries about the upcoming IRAN War and the monsoon rains depositing deadly radiation in the environment. The message is from Leuren Moret, a world famous geoscientist and radiation expert and myself, Bob Nichols, newspaper correspondent and writer. I request that you send this to everyone in your address book and that you "Be the Media". Help us stop the Fifth US Nuclear War in 15 years from even starting.

Oral administration of linseed oil (0.1ml/kg b.w. /day) for 20 days prior to an acute dose of cyclophosphamide (75mg/kg) significantly prevented the cyclophosphamide- induced decline in the level of GSH, GSH-Px, alkaline phosphatase in mice blood.

Earthquake delegation. Incredible survival story exposes media apathy.

06-01-2006 22:30 | Analysis | Health | Sheffield | World

For 64 days Naqshah Bib lay in the ruins of her kitchen. The earthquake flattened her house and the rest of the refugee town of Kamsar. She survived by drinking stream water that had trickled through the ruins, scraps of rotten food were found around her. She was discovered barely alive by her cousins and pulled from the rubble. Before being found she was just another of the many missing people from the town.

The nurses caring for her at Rawalpindi hospital are unsure of her chances. Her body has wasted and she is unable to communicate, barely aware of her surroundings. We don’t stay long, wishing her well and leaving some flowers. Her father who also survived has lost both his legs.

Earth Quake Delegation. Kamsar refugee camp.

06-01-2006 22:21 | Health | Sheffield | World

In 1990 during the war with India thousands of Muslim refugees crossed the border into Pakistan. For years they were kept in squalid refugee camps by the Pakistan military and paraded in front of the world’s media as a propaganda tool against the Indian government. Eventually they settled in a part of the Neelam Valley in a place near Musafrabad that came to be known as Kamsar. Then as if their luck couldn’t get any worse Kamsar turned out to be situated on the epicenter of the earthquake.

One thing that really shows up the inept international response to the Kashmir disaster ,is the fact that much of the aid is being provided by some of the worlds poorest countrys. Bush and Blair constantly go on about how Pakistan is a vital partner in the so called 'War on Terror'. So where are they in their hour of need??

On many occasions we saw the flag of Cuba flying in the NGO camps of the earthquake zone. Didnt meet any Americans.....

Earthquake delegation. A meeting with the JKLF.

03-01-2006 19:06 | Health | Sheffield | World

Before heading into the area affected by the earthquake we meet with Amanullah Khan chairman of Jamal Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF). Most of the region we plan to visit is in Kashmir and local knowledge is essential. The JKLF are a peaceful organization dedicated to gaining independence for Kashmir from India, Pakistan and China all of whom occupy portions of the country. They want a secular independent state that facilitates all the religions and cultures that exist in Kashmir. They have a wide base of support despite being banned from standing in elections. They are not allowed to participate in any ballot due to their refusal to swear allegiance to Pakistan’s military government.

Dalai Lama becomes vegetarian again!

14-12-2005 18:35 | Animal Liberation | Culture | Health | World

“Lately I have turned to a vegetarian diet. Today’s youth, particularly the ones who have come from Tibet and have a refugee status must inculcate these principles for their own development and to have peace of mind. The message from mahakaruna [Sanskrit: ‘great compassion’] has clearly asked us to follow and preach love and compassion for all living beings.”

Midnight Mass (a poem for the homeless)

Below is a poem that I've written to try to make people a little more aware of the plight of the homeless at this time of year, why, is it only at this time of year thar we feel we should do something to help those less fortunate than ourselves and not for the rest of the year? Guilt or what? You tell me?
