A committee of the European Parliament says the proposed Nord Stream pipeline between Russia and Germany poses 'a serious ecological threat' to the Baltic Sea. But doubts have been raised over the claims, with some experts saying criticism of the project is inspired by political rather that environmental concerns.

Made in Germany | Oil from Kazakhstan
The Kazakh oil fields are hotly contested. Western and Russian oil concerns both want to access the huge reserves. Kazakhstan has been playing hard to get, and trying to make deals with both. In addition, the former Soviet republic is looking into alternative oil export routes that do not cross Russia, such as the BTC pipeline. The problem is that Russia has been putting Alma-Ata under pressure. It wants to regain its dominance over Central Asia. The state-run oil company KazMunayGaz is not interested in public relations, and rarely allows cameras on its production sites. But Christoph Wanner managed to get a look at Kazakhstan's oilfields.

Experts Warn Russia Seeks Influence Over Vast Caspian Oil Re
Rising oil prices, a resurgent Russia and continued turbulence in the Middle East have intensified competition for control of the vast oil and gas reserves in the Caspian Sea. The competition, involving big business and power politics, pits Russia against the West. At stake, some experts say, is world domination of the energy market. VOA's Brian Padden recently traveled to Azerbaijan and Germany, and has prepared a series of reports on the politics of oil. This story looks at transnational pipelines, and how they have become battlegrounds for influence and power.

Vladimir Putin Путин Saves TV Crew From Siberian Tiger тигр
Владимир Владимирович Путин saves TV crew from тигр MOSCOW (Reuters) - Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was feted by Russian media on Sunday for saving a television crew from an attack by a Siberian tiger in the wilds of the Far East. Putin, taking a break from lambasting the West over Georgia, apparently saved the crew while on a trip to a national park to see how researchers monitor the tigers in the wild. Just as Putin was arriving with a group of wildlife specialists to see a trapped Amur tiger, it escaped and ran towards a nearby camera crew, the country's main television station said. Putin quickly shot the beast and sedated it with a tranquilizer gun. "Vladimir Putin not only managed to see the giant predator up close but also saved our television...

Stop the Spread of War--John Rees Speaks Out. P2
Manchester, England. 4th September 2008. Greater Manchester Stop the War coalition holds a rally on the theme of stop the spread of war in the context of the unprovoked US-backed military attack by Georgia on South Ossetia which killed Russian peacekeepers, killed over 1,500 civilians and caused the destruction of its capital city Tskhinvali. US support for Georgian membership of NATO was the green light for this reckless adventure. If France and Germany had not vetoed NATO membership the outcome could have been a major war between with nuclear-armed Russia.

Stop the Spread of War--Street Stall
Manchester, England. 6th September 2008. Anti-war activists organise on the street for a major demonstration against the spread of war to South Ossetia and Georgia. The demonstration will take place on September 20th 2008 outside the annual New Labour Party conference in Manchester. A notable feature of this street stall is keen interest shown by young people--including school students. This is not surprising since it is young people who get sent to war--not the ageing chickenhawks like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Blair who have never seen war, but who are happy to let others do the fighting and the suffering. The demonstration takes place in the context of the unprovoked US-backed military attack by Georgia on South Ossetia which killed Russian peacekeepers, killed over 1,500 civilians...

Russia the Great Dinosaur bites Georgia and Wins !!!
Recent history of Russian Conflict: The Russian offensive in 1994 took control of Grozny in early 1995. But, fighting continued until April 1996, when Dudayev was killed and replaced by Maskhadov who agreed to a ceasefire with Russia. August 1996, after a successful Chechen counterattack on Grozny, negotiations resumed and comprehensive ceasefire (the Khasavyurt Accords) was signed on 31 August 1996. The agreement stipulated that Russian forces would withdraw from the region while there was to be a moratorium on the core issue - the future status of Chechnya - until 31 December 2001. During conflict, few efforts were made to negotiate a solution to conflict. During first phase of war Russian and Chechen delegations met for peace talks on few occasions. The most extensive negotiations...

US support for Georgian membership of NATO was the green light for this reckless adventure. If France and Germany had not vetoed NATO membership the outcome could have been a major war between nuclear-armed NATO and Russia. Having lost its rationale at the end of the Cold War, NATO has sought to reinvent itself as a forum for military action by the so-called 'international community'. In reality it has become a vehicle for US-led use of force,...
