Leading scientist says cancer research could be harmed by Yes vote

Sir Paul Nurse: Nobel Prize winner says disease research could be harmed by independence.University of Strathclyde

A Nobel Prize-winning scientist has warned that research into the treatment of diseases such as cancer could be harmed by independence.

Sir Paul Nurse, who jointly won the award in 2001, said the "wonderfully-innovative biomedical teams" working in Scotland rely on funds from UK organisations which may not support them in the event of a Yes vote.

The scientist also heads the £650 million Francis Crick Institute which supports 1,400 researchers and he has been invited to Scotland to talk about research funding next month by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Sir Paul said: "It is by co-operating together that we achieve far more than we can ever achieve on our own.

"Scotland, with wonderfully-innovative biomedical teams engaged in path-breaking research, relies on money that comes from UK organisations such as the Medical Research Council, the Wellcome Trust and Cancer Research UK.

"My fear is that it will be difficult to justify using their money for research in an independent Scotland.

"This will be a major problem for Scotland and with progress in biomedical research, including the treatment of diseases such as cancer."

Sir Paul was once a researcher at the University of Edinburgh and is now the president of the Royal Society.

His discovery of key molecules which control the cycle of cells could pave the way for new cancer treatments.

This work led to him being named joint winner of the Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2001, and he was knighted in 1999 for services to cell biology and cancer research.

Mr Brown welcomed the scientist's comments on the independence debate and pointed to figures which he said show Scotland attracts a higher portion of funding per head of population than the rest of the UK, with £12.40 per head in 2011 against a UK average of £8.25.

The former prime minister said: "Scotland could find itself outside the loop, cut off not just from UK funding of Scottish research but from UK-wide collaborative projects and consequently far less able to play what most Scottish people will want: the fullest part possible in the biggest push Europe has yet seen to find better ways of treating and curing diseases such as cancer.

"Path-breaking research in medicine is one of our great historic success stories.

"It recalls a time when Scotland produced one-third of the medical graduates of the UK and one sector of medical research dear to the heart of every family in the country is the fight to end cancer."

But The Scottish Government said current research links would continue in an independent Scotland.

A spokesman said: "Scotland has world class universities producing ground-breaking research, and that will continue in an independent Scotland.

"The UK currently operates as a 'common research area.' It is clearly in the interest of both Scotland and the rest of the UK to maintain this with independence - something in line with current international practice which sees extensive cross-border co-operation on research funding.
"Independence, and the full range of economic powers it will provide, offers even more opportunity for Scotland's world class university research. Our significant investment in research will be protected and indeed could be incentivised to encourage greater collaboration between universities and the private sector, supporting productivity and sustainable economic growth.

"And only with independence can we guarantee an immigration policy that welcomes international students, talented researchers and leading academics from across the world in recognition of their potential and contribution to Scotland's economy and society - as opposed to damaging Westminster policy."

The pro-independence group, Academics for Yes, pointed to collaborations across the Irish border.

"Several bilateral arrangements exist between the UK and the Republic of Ireland," a spokesman said.

"These include joint funding arrangements between the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Sciences, the merging of the postgraduate research councils of the Republic and Northern Ireland, and an agreement giving the universities of Ulster and Queen's University Belfast access to the Republic's scientific research funding scheme.

"Why would an independent Scotland be treated differently?"

London -  June 7 2014 -  Adam Smith International’s study on the extractive industries in Somalia has produced an out cry in Mogadishu.

 

The company Adam Smith International (ASI) produced a report in March funded by the British government, entitled Needs Assessment for the Development of Somalia’s Extractive Industries. The report produced something of a bombshell in Mogadishu. After delicate discussions and a threat by the government of Somalia to make its indignation public, the release of the report to donor was blocked. 

ASI was given the task of producing this study last year after President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud asked the British government for technical support. Mohamud expected that the report would conclude in the necessity of providing aid to the federal government in various relevant areas (such as geophysics, engineering, law, accounting and interpreting data) and also for negotiating with the oil majors. ASI rejected this option, deeming that it would exacerbate the risk of internal conflict between the regional authorities and Mogadishu. Instead, the ASI report recommends a lengthy process in which “development partners” would act as mediators between Mogadishu and the regional administrations, particularly concerning sharing resources. ASI even recommended that no oil contract should be concluded with Mogadishu without a constitutional consensus, making this a necessary condition for international technical assistance. 

Last month, the director general of the Somalian oil ministry, Farah Abdi Hassan, (see p.8) issued a response to the British consultants. In it, he considered that ASI’s solution ran counter to Mogadishu’s oil strategy, which is to rapidly develop Somalia’s potential and encourage the majors who have obtained concessions prior to 1991 to resume their activity in the country or to relinquish their rights.

In the report is an open letter from Saraar community and other matters regarding Somaliland and its oil interest.

Scottish independence: 'Yes' vote could scupper nuclear clean-up

Fears are mounting that Scottish independence could result in years of delays to the decommissioning of Britain's fleet of ageing nuclear-powered submarines, including four armed with Trident missiles.

More than 10 engineering companies have just registered their interest in working with the Ministry of Defence on dismantling and removing waste from 27 submarines in 

Devonport near Plymouth and Rosyth on the Firth of Forth.

But they are understood to be concerned that a "Yes" vote for independence could complicate the 60-year programme of defuelling and breaking up the submarines – and that the MoD has refused to draw up any contingency plans.

At present, only the seven out-of-service submarines that are currently floating at Rosyth would be dismantled there. However, space at Devonport is tight and it is expected that Rosyth would eventually have to take on more of the dismantling work.

A post-independent Scottish government would have other priorities, such as building frigates. It would also not want Trident-armed submarines waiting for decommissioning in its waters. The Scottish National Party's post-independence priorities include getting rid of nuclear deterrents.

John Large, a leading nuclear submarine expert, said that independence was "a fly in the 

ointment" that was "creating a problem the MoD had not foreseen". He added that independence could ultimately lead to "years, if not decades" of delays unless costly docks are built elsewhere in the UK.

Jane Tallents, an anti-Trident campaigner who is a member of the Submarine Dismantling Project Advisory Group, said: "When we've raised independence at the advisory group MoD officials have shuffled papers and looked at their feet."

One industry insider said that delays were "absolutely" a risk, but that the Navy just "laughs off independence as something that isn't going to happen". The US has large decommissioning facilities, but these are nearly full to capacity. Sending vessels there would also add to the cost, said to be about £60m a submarine.

The Scottish government is already furious that a site north of the border, Chapelcross in Dumfriesshire, has been shortlisted as a location that could store radioactive waste removed from the submarines.

When the shortlist was revealed in February, Holyrood environment minister Richard Lochhead wrote to UK Defence minister Philip Dunne demanding that the waste should not be dumped in Scotland. Dismantling cannot start until a storage site for the 90- to 135-ton reactor pressure vessels, which hold the submarines' nuclear cores, is agreed upon.

A MoD spokeswoman said: "We are not developing contingency plans for the submarine dismantling project because we are confident that the Scottish people will vote to remain part of the UK."

A Scottish government spokesman said: "Following independence, the precise division of assets and liabilities will be subject to detailed negotiation between the Scottish and UK governments."

Imperialists spreading war across Africa: Analyst

Colonialist governments are spreading war across the African continent under the cover of battling terrorism, an analyst writes for Press TV.

This file photo shows American soldiers engaged in foreign operations.

“Since 2008, both the US and EU member countries have been heavily involved in the region under the guise of fighting a so-called war on terrorism,” Abayomi Azikiwe wrote in a column for the Press TV website.

He said the most recent example is the move by the French and US governments to move their intelligence and military apparatuses into Nigeria to fight the Boko Haram Takfiri militants.

The analyst described the “growing intervention” of imperialist states as the “most overlooked aspect of the militarist policies” of the US and the EU.

He said the Western governments are boosting their presence in Africa by repeatedly warning that the continent has become a “major source of international terrorism.”

“Drones stations are being constructed all over Africa from Somalia and Djibouti in the East to Niger in the West,” wrote Azikiwe.

He said that Africa would see “no genuine peace, independence, sovereignty or development” so long as the “increased militarization of Africa” is not challenged.

Azikiwe said more media revelations on the “US and European imperialist interference” will bring about solidarity among Africans.

The US has also been intervening militarily in Somalia, under the pretext of annihilating terrorist fighters.

In February, the Canada-based Center for Research on Globalization said in a report that Washington’s intervention in Africa is driven by its “desire to secure valuable natural resources and political influence that will ensure the longevity of America’s capitalist system, military industrial complex, and global economic superiority.”

Scottish independence: Alex Salmond claims Britain is 'one of the most unequal countries in the developed world'

 

SERINA SANDHU

 

The UK has become “one of the most unequal countries in the developed world”, consigning many Scots to “a life of poverty”, Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond has said.

Speaking ahead of the 100-day countdown to the independence referendum, Mr Salmond said he was confident that Scotland would vote yes on 18 September despite polls suggesting Scots will back the union.

A survey by Populous for the Financial Times found 40 per cent of Scots would vote for independence with 47 per cent against, although excluding don’t knows put the yes vote on 46 per cent. Some 55 per cent of English and Welsh people said they hoped Scotland would stay in the UK, with 15 per cent backing a split.

“Independence will mean Scotland is no longer subject to Westminster policies imposed against the wishes of our democratic representatives,” Mr Salmond said.

“A quarter of a century ago, it was Margaret Thatcher's poll tax - today it is the bedroom tax and the ongoing obscenity of Trident weapons of mass destruction located just a short distance from Scotland's largest city.

“The democratic case for an independent Scotland is at its heart a very straightforward one. It is founded on the simple premise that it is fundamentally better for all nations if decisions affecting them are made by those who live and work there.”

Mr Salmond pointed to an assessment by financial company Standard & Poor’s that an independent Scotland would qualify for its “highest economic assessment”.

But he said: “Unfortunately, despite that huge native wealth, meaning we are one of the wealthiest countries on the planet, for too many people living in Scotland today it does not feel that way.”

He spoke of his excitement at the prospect of Scotland – which 

became part of the union in 1707 — “joining the international community as an equal partner after an absence of more than 300 years”.

“No other nation in history has been as well-placed as modern Scotland to become independent – and when September the 18th arrives, I am confident the people will say ‘Yes’,” Mr Salmond said.

Scotland “should be proud of the example we are setting in terms of the profoundly democratic and peaceful nature of the debate on our future – not something that is always the case elsewhere”, he added.

The First Minister maintained that England, Wales and Northern Ireland would remain the new country’s closest friends and neighbours.

“The ties that bind the nations of these islands will continue 

]and flourish after Scotland becomes independent,” he said.

A survey published by the Centre for Macroeconomics (CFM) on Saturday reported that 75 per cent of the 28 economics experts did not believe Scotland would be economically better off with a Yes vote this September.

The CFM report said that the experts, from institutions such as Deutsch Bank and the London School of Economics, thought Scotland would be exposed to weaker tax revenues and higher borrowing costs.

Somalia: Jihadist Recruitment in West Difficult to Stop

Abdi Mohamud Nur seemed like a pretty average American kid.

Part of Minneapolis' sizable community of Somali-Americans, Nur was obedient and good-natured, his sister, Ifrah, said. He loved basketball. He graduated from a Minneapolis high school last year and enrolled at a local college.

In March of this year, Ifrah said, things changed. Nur, 20, joined a local mosque in the Minnesotan city. He became "reserved and unsocial," Iftah told VOA.

On May 29, he left his relatives and flew to Istanbul. The following day he sent a text message to his sister, telling his family not to worry and saying he "wants to join the jihad in Syria in search of paradise."

That was the last his family heard of him.

Nur's case has caught the attention of the FBI, which this week announced it was investigating whether young Somalis in the United States were becoming radicalized, seeking to join jihadist groups in Syria and elsewhere.

The agency's Minneapolis office posted an announcement on its Web site on Tuesday asking people to contact law enforcement "[I]f you know anyone who is planning to and/or has traveled to a foreign country for armed combat or who is being recruited for such activities."

The issue of young men, Somalis or otherwise, being radicalized in the United States and recruited to fight in Syria or Somalia gained further attention in recent weeks with the case of Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha, a Florida man who died in a suicide attack in Syria on May 25. It was believed to be the first time a U.S. citizen has been involved in an attack of this kind as part of the Syrian civil war.

Analysts in both the United States and Canada, which also has a sizable population of Somali refugees, said stopped recruitment is difficult for Western authorities.

Groups like the notorious Somali terror group al-Shabab find followers because the organization works "within [the] family network and family system," said Mubin Shaikh, a Canada-based Muslim scholar and former extremist who infiltrated some radical groups while working for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

Somalia: Security Forces Open Torture Chambers in Mogadishu

 

The security forces nowadays have torture chambers in Mogadishu. These days, the number of such houses where security forces take their victims are on the rise. Abdirizak Gurey is a Somali young man who returned from the Diaspora. Recently, he was captured in Mogadishu by the security forces and then they took him to one of those places. And in the process of interrogating him they also tortured him very badly. "They stopped my car. Then I told them that I am a businessman. One of them said they suspected me. Then they took me to a house where they tortured me". Gurey said.

A lady who resides in the next house came out and asked them who the victim was that night and then they replied "we are torturing one stubborn man from the Diaspora. Abdirizak is currently under going medication in one of the hospitals in the city.

UN International Day in Support of Victims of Torture is 26 June, in this month each year we are calling somali activists and human rights defenders to high light torture practice in Somalia by Federal Goverment of Somalia law enforcement agencies
