STOP Sarkozy's 'non' to France 24

 
 
President Sarkozy
President Sarkozy
 
President Sarkozy said a French  channel can only speak French
President Nicolas Sarkozy has said his country will stop
broadcasting its English- language 24-hour news channel,
France 24. The French premier has called for a French-only
network to replace it."With taxpayers' money, I am not
prepared to broadcast a channel that does not speak French,"
he said. Launched in December 2006 by Mr Sarkozy's
predecessor, Jacques Chirac,France 24 now broadcasts around
the world in French, English and Arabic. The channel aimed to
challenge the dominance of English-language market-leaders
BBC World and CNN.
The English broadcast is one of the best things
France could have done to help bring the world
together. Please e-mail everyone, anyone you
can and perhaps we WILL be able to help save
this VITAL NEWS feed!

Ps. Why as I try to bring the beauty and breath
of the French culture along with a different
perspective of the news would he deem it
necessary to close this channel of
communications? I am of the fear his concept
of our new universal world is lacking and the
nature of the patterns of his behavior tends me
to believe he cares more about himself that of
France or the World.

US opens Afghan deaths tribunal
One of the vehicles allegedly shot by US marines at Nangarhar province, Afghanistan
An Afghan report said the
US marines used
indiscriminate force
The US Marine Corps has opened a special tribunal into the deaths of Afghan civilians last March.

As many as 19 Afghan civilians were allegedly killed when marines opened fire in Nangarhar province after their convoy was attacked by a car bomb.

An Afghan inquiry said the US troops opened fire indiscriminately but the marines said they were fired on and the civilians were caught in the crossfire.

 
  The CIA destroyed the tapes while   
being scrutinised over secret prisons
The US justice
department is to launch a criminal
investigation into the CIA's erasingof videotapes of
interrogations of two al-Qaeda suspects. It follows
last month's preliminary joint inquiry with the CIA
into whether a full investigation was necessary.
Critics have accused the CIA of a cover-up to hide
evidence of possible torture and abuse of detainees.
