WHAT'S BEHIND PUTIN MOVE?
By Sheila Barter, BBC News Online, 2004

Russian President Vladimir Putin took Russia and the world by surprise by suddenly announcing his entire government had been dismissed.
But the momentum towards the decision had probably been building for months as Mr Putin's allies consolidated their hold on the Kremlin.
Mr Putin's dramatic swipe at his government, less than three weeks before presidential elections, was targeted on ... Read more »

TICKING ALL THE BOXES

Forty years after Britain's first race relations act, employers are starting to follow US firms by sending workers on race awareness courses. But instead of smoothing office relations, such lessons could be inflaming tensions that never used to exist.
Jane Elliott is white, short and tough. For more than 20 years, she has run her day-long workshops in racism-awareness training, US-style. Her approach is uncompromising, brusque and authoritative. S ... Read more »

Iraq has the third largest proven crude oil reserves in the world and is the least explored of the oil-rich Middle-Eastern countries.
But its oil industry faces serious problems resulting from years of sanctions and underinvestment.
Under optimal conditions, it is estimated that Iraq could produce up to 6m barrels a day - almost double its peak of 3.5m, reached in 1979 before the war with Iran.
Insurgent attacks on pipelines and pump stations have meant oil production rarely ... Read more »

The US announced major combat operations were over in Iraq in May 2003. But there is no sign yet of an end to the violence unleashed in post-Saddam Iraq, despite the transition to an elected civilian government.
No-one knows exactly how many Iraqi civilians have died since the invasion. Unofficial figures range from over 20,000 to almost 100,000. In the same period, almost 1,300 US troops died in combat.
The new security forces, now said to number more than 140,000, face a growing ... Read more »

Wars, sanctions and looting have left Iraq's infrastructure in ruins. After Saddam Hussein was overthrown in 2003, total reconstruction costs were put at $55bn and grants and loans were pledged.
But more than two years on, insecurity is a major obstacle. Reconstruction is still largely stalled in many places.
Problems with electricity and water supply are a daily event for some people. A recent survey found just over half of households had a stable supply of safe drinking water. Ir ... Read more »

Вот что говорит сотрудник Лондонского университета Лоренс Фридмэн: "Когда шла подготовка к войне в районе Персидского залива, было совершенно ясно, что одной из ее причин было стремление Ирака завладеть оружием массового поражения. Поэтому после войны, одной из главных целей было лишить Ирак его военного потенциала".
Оливия Баш была одним из военных инспекторов ООН в середине 90-х годов. "Чтобы уничтожить оружие, нужны были самые разные группы: это специалисты по обнаружению химического и ... Read more »

Соединенные Штаты осудили решение Ирана о начале разработки и обогащения урана, который Тегеран планирует использовать в своей ядерной программе.
Представитель американского госдепартамента Ричард Баучер заявил, что у Вашингтона "есть очень серьезные опасения, что Иран использует свою якобы мирную ядерную программу, в том числе строительство реактора в Бушере, как предлог для развития оружейной ядерной программы".
Соединенные Штаты считают Иран страной, спонсирующей терроризм, и пр ... Read more »

Противостояние между Ираном и странами Запада по поводу ядерной программы Тегерана продолжается. Россия между тем заявляет, что выступит против любых попыток передать иранский вопрос на рассмотрение Совета Безопасности ООН.
Как заявил министр иностранных дел России Сергей Лавров, Россия вместе с тем считает, что Иран все же не должен становиться ядерной державой. Однако он добавил, что никаких свидетельств в пользу того, что Иран нарушил или нарушит в будущем Договор о нераспространении я ... Read more »
