Andrew George, a Liberal Democrat in the House of Commons health select committee, was among a number of speakers is a growing concern about the reforms in the law of health care and social its impact on patient care and the Liberal Democrats' political fortunes.
George - who voted against the bill in the Commons - said the debate within the NHS was conducted in an "empty sound policy, not realizing the train wreck that going on, "
The closing day of the Liberal Democrat conference heard warnings about the danger to the NHS of the law in its present form during an emergency debate.
Many condemned the decision to deny the vote of delegates to a specific motion in relation to the bill, scheduled to begin its passage through the Lords next month.
In a sideswipe at the Lib Dem leadership, which has blocked a vote, George has accused those who believed it was impossible to stop the legislation to adopt a "fatalistic position wallflower."
"It's like saying that because the thieves were that we should allow to loot the place," he said.

Law firms are opening up to non-graduates
a new atmosphere of equality extends by the profession and the higher tuition is likely to reduce social mobility
been a while that graduates do not usually provide legal services. The last time was after the Second World War, when the shortage of lawyers saw a generation of court employees undertaken in their professional associations law. Since then, a significant increase in the number of people going to college took-winning roles in law firms almost exclusively the preserve of graduates. These days, attending numerous advanced degrees even.
But things could soon change with the removal of the top grade next year set to generate a number of new jobs, while-you-train options - a return of graduates entering the law directly. In fact, a couple of recent events suggest that this process has already begun.
GordonsLast week, one of the largest law firms in Yorkshire, began an apprenticeship for graduates of law school to enable them to qualify as lawyers, without go to college. The four-year program, which will run alongside a graduate trainee of the company, five apprentices will be paid an annual salary of £ 9.620, while being trained legal frameworks -. A range of alternative proxy can be achieved without a degree
The move follows the recently announced alliance between the national law firm Irwin Mitchell and the Institute of legal frameworks (Ilex) in the non-lawyer staff will receive a legal education, in a way that the school leavers who join the company to administrative positions to qualify as a lawyer.
Government hope is that such initiatives to mitigate the potential negative effects on social mobility of the charge of new courses, which will almost certainly be fewer students from poor families to go in college. To encourage similar models, the business secretary, Vince Cable, has promised to increase funding for training of £ 222m per year, which could create an additional 100,000 state-supported learning. At present there is no law of formal learning, but the National Apprenticeship Service is planning to launch a. "We believe that the model of Ilex Sat well within the government, and not much interest for this to happen," said the CEO of Ilex, Diane Burleigh.
Well- But the couple's decision to create a formal way for non-law graduates goes beyond motivation to save money, training budgets in these facilities are very profitable After all, a relative drop in the ocean. On the contrary, seem to have been largely motivated by the desire to reflect a new attitude of the radical egalitarianism of the profession, with the effect of demystifying the Internet that combines Legal Services Act (which has loosened the restrictions that are lawyers join associations of law firms) to take a little of the brilliance of the first row of the proxy. Managing partner Paul Ayre Gordon seems to change values ??in mind when learning scheme described his company as "an anticipation of a legal market, where the old distinctions become irrelevant."
Death and the salesmen: London hosts arms fair
Forty-six countries have recently shown the most modern weapons, such as Bahrain ExCel assists despite the deaths of protesters
Sharpmen and women capable of more than 1000 weapons manufacturers are displaying their weapons in the port area of ??London this week. Its large sample of the weapon that can fire projectiles 30 miles with precision, it is said, three meters, small, innocent-looking switches designed to make life easier for a hunter and secure.
deadly objects were presented in glass cases, polished and shining under the lights of the ExCel Centre, as delicate ornaments, not to be stained by blood, much less kill someone. The 46 countries that advertising with U.S. giants Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and General Dynamics, including Israel, which had a large booth this year.

Hiding behind the flag of Israel were the Russians, with the Kalashnikov rifle final assault. The AK104 is based on several models, and much more expensive than the ubiquitous AK-47, the favorite weapon of insurgents and guerrillas around the world.
Pakistan announced a "weapon of peace", exhibition in Karachi next year and was "golden" machine guns - ". For collectors, "said science
However, so much so that life in Pakistan is under threat for now, an enterprising seller offers "armor mode". Leather jackets and vests with reinforced lining
- Some small exhibitors were there to help save lives. Weatherhaven was the launch of a "container capacity expansion" or "hospitals in a box" units that fit inside a Chinook to deal with medical emergencies. The Medical Store as bags and bags of produce of emergency medical care. And it is clear that the provision of drinking water for the troops is a development of the rapidly growing industry. A German company is to supply the British and American troops in Afghanistan with the bottled water for a small filter system, a cheaper alternative and much cheaper to bring bottled water for hundreds of miles across the desert caravan.
- But defense and security equipment such as the biennial fair is called, is dominated by companies to develop weapons that can defeat an enemy as quickly and as efficiently as possible while protecting of their own troops. MBDA, including those responsible for the sulfur content of "precision" missile Storm Shadow cruise missiles and air-ground, RAF Tornados fell during the conflict in Libya. Executives on the stand of the company said they were not allowed to say how many had landed on Libyan targets, but it is likely that more than 100 have been removed at a cost not yet been revealed. There are reports that some NATO countries nearly run out of bombs.
- Liam Fox, Secretary of Defense, praised the role of British companies in the arms of Libya. In a speech in advocacy of arms exports, said: "For years, the export potential has been ignored to initiate projects for their own use in the UK needs to change ... Exports of defense and security play a key role in promoting our foreign policy objectives: .. build relationships and trust, information sharing and dissemination of values ??"
In April, MPs accused ministers of ignoring the risk that the export of British arms used for repression. The government had approved a license to sell the team - from small arms to armored personnel carriers - states such as Bahrain, which has been invited to the show despite its security forces have killed unarmed demonstrators during the Recent events
Fox said that Britain was the second largest exporter of weapons-related equipment. But his speech contained a stick and a carrot: "The industry does not need gifts - or even to get." The government would be "harder, smarter customers" in the future, he said.

Dowler family cross-examination puts advocates on the spot
Concern about the quality of the defense led to the introduction of a controversial plan to evaluate the performance
fury on questioning the parents of Milly Dowler has put the defense in court in bright light. Putting the rights and wrongs of the case side Dowler, public debate has certainly come at the right time for the common defense group (JAG), soon to be in place a quality assurance system for the defenders of the controversy (Qasa) working in the criminal law.
JAG consists of three key regulators of lawyers - Standards for the bar, lawyers Regulation Authority and ILEX Professional Standards - and its origin in 2006 Lord Carter report on legal aid recruitment, which identifies a customer "driven by the need to ensure the quality of the defense" as a vital part of an effective judicial system.
JAG argued that regulatory intervention is necessary because of concerns raised by the judges on the quality of defense (while recognizing that only a minority of supporters to cause problems) , "the fallibility of relying on market forces" to eliminate performance of the defense, and the need for consumer confidence.
In 2009, a report on the pilot of the Legal Services Board for a similar scheme for quality assurance relied on the standards of the legal defense. Professor Richard Moorhead, vice-director of the Cardiff Law School and a part of the research team, says that some of the default rates were at an unprecedented number in any assessment of the quality of the lawyer participated in the last 20 years. "
He adds: ".. This requires either a statutory or regulatory response further investigation seem to accept the need for regulatory intervention"
Qasa to assess all human rules, but a fair bit has changed since the work was started in 2009. Particular has been a debate about the role of judges in assessing the competence of the defense to raise four levels within the system, working in the court of first instance for the treatment of severe cases in the Court of Assizes.
The argument (of the bar and judges), was that judges are the ultimate "consumers" of the promotion, but at the same time, they can not see what is before them.
The dominant role of the judiciary has been criticized for several reasons, as if it could jeopardize the defense worried about disturbing a judge, that the judges can not evaluate the work of court The additional workload that could heap on them, and the fear that senior judges, in particular - because it is composed almost exclusively of lawyers -. may they discriminate against non-lawyer advocates A route that minimizes the evaluation of judicial intervention was introduced. It also calls remain the same level of reaccredit every five years.
- If a defender is recorded as a cause of concern - whether for lack of an assessment or certified by a judge -. This will follow a remedial training, and finally lose their accreditation at the current level
- Bar Association attorney and counsel for an end to derail the plan, saying that there is insufficient evidence to support the imposition of a mandatory system of this magnitude, and continue to have concerns of discrimination.

Police interview Chelsea's John Terry over racial abuse allegations
- "We can see that the player has the talent, the way you train every day, the effort you put in," said Di Matteo.

Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku has chance to feel the fire against Liverpool
worth their weight in gold for marginal players trying to make their presence felt at Stamford Bridge
in Hong Kong in the pre-season André Villas-Boas Chelsea tour had confirmed a new convert to the philosophy of the family. Newly installed as permanent director of the club's sixth in seven years, spoke of the talks with Roman Abramovich in which both agreed to the Carling Cup should be seen as a competition in which the blood of the next generation. For these young people still at the periphery, a home quarter-final against Liverpool on Tuesday night is another rare opportunity to impress.
Patience is a prerequisite for life, even for the most promising in a club of this size. Some players were sent to earn playing time on loan in August, but Patrick van Aanholt, with three Premier League Wigan Athletic begins, and Gaël Kakuta have a reason to ask whether life is more rewarding in other parts of part of the division. Kakuta, whose reputation was enhanced by the fury of the arrival of Lens, has appeared only three times in the top flight at Bolton Wanderers, all in banking. At least those who remained should make a shirt Chelsea on Tuesday night and feel a part.
Oriol Romeuimpressed against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday and may keep his place, but for Josh McEachran and Ryan Bertrand Romelu Lukaku, attracts high-profile opportunity. Villas-Boas approach to this contest, the first claimed by Jose Mourinho during his term, was to send a few usual mix of the team of experienced players and young graduates team links with Fulham and Everton earned a place in the quarterfinals.
McEachran, 18, a midfielder, whose elegant and mature cameos last term shows promise, started both links and undoubtedly suffered the dismissal of a teammate in each. The 116 minutes that have been successful, with a brief appearance as a substitute against Swansea City, are the first team this season participation.
- McEachran traveled with the first team against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League last week and I enjoyed being part of the process. However, only played twice for the reserves this season and a January loan move seems unlikely. Brendan Rodgers Swansea, a former manager of the reserve team of Chelsea, has already made his interest known. Bolton, with whom Jack Wilshere and Daniel Sturridge have acquired a valuable may have ruined his chances, given the tribulations Kakuta.
The Brazilian will not participate in the first team for a while, but McEachran should join the team Tuesday by fellow England Under-21 Bertrand, who became a substitute Ashley Cole, but in All the Champions League, and Lukaku. The Belgian international might feel more frustrated than most, having exchanged life difficult for league titles with Anderlecht to join the club he supported as a child.
Everton and Stoke tentatively suggested to take the striker on loan to the new year, although it would have been blocked by the appearance of three clubs in the FIFA even "years."

residents affected by the cuts to George Osborne, are beginning to wonder if the MP will fight his corner

Instead, you must take a taxi or use of Dial-a-Ride services. Some people like Hammond, taxis and minibus service use after left is Stanley Centre in March.

"They continue to receive support for the care they need, but how they are delivered that can change," said Roland Domleo, the Cabinet member responsible for adult services.
"Some people choose to have services delivered directly to your home and others from different vendors. [Day Centre services] and may continue in central Stanley, who is our desire. This desire is not possible, but probably close to services - are the people who matter, not buildings, and we can not run when they are half empty. " Bexton Court Domleo said, was no empty beds.
- An alternative proposal for the Stanley Center is using the Wilmslow Leisure Centre, 10 miles. The council says it will invest money to make the appropriate facilities, but service users are not convinced.
- "My son is in a wheelchair and has difficulty learning," said Peter Womersley, 60. "I took a small group of people with intellectual disabilities of a leisure center and had a response from the public. Can you imagine three or four busloads of people with learning difficulties to appear? "
- The Council had expenditure savings of £ 17.8 million this year, having been granted by the central government fell by £ 11.8 million £ 70m. Advisers have warned that more cuts will be needed after a half years has revealed a possible excess spending £ 16.2 million. In adult services, the Council said it was "efficiencies" of 9.3 million pounds but an increase in demand for "complex systems of care" for the means of £ 19.9m as the budget for 2011/12 shows a net increase of 10.6 million pounds.

Shabana Mahmood, the shadow universities minister, is eager for battle
The minister said the Shadow universities
Harriet Swain
it is ready to be a battle of brains with David Willetts on government policy and His White Paper
On their first night as a student Mahmood, Shabana, the Minister of Higher Education shade again, remembers very strange sensation. "I was born and raised in Birmingham, a diverse city, so I always knew that many people who were like me," he said. "My first night in Oxford was the only one in my class in the room. It was really weird. This never happened before."
As one of three Muslim women MPs, is further distinguished among the crowd of politicians and policy experts milling around their offices in Westminster. But after a year and a half in Parliament, during which he rose quickly in a minor position in the shadow of the team from the Ministry of the Interior in his current role, he is relaxed and at home.
or is removed by the prospect of the struggle mentally with his counterpart, "two brains" David Willetts, the shipping box. In fact, can not wait, having enjoyed their time response of the hall of Parliament on matters of the Ministry of the Interior. "I used to be an advocate for me in my comfort zone," she said, giving the first of many laughs plentiful.
And she made a few topics for discussion with Willetts. First, the costs. The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, announced in September that if the work came to power tomorrow's tuition next year's coverage would be reduced from £ 9000 to £ 6000. It would be funded by the demolition of a corporate tax cut for banks and ask for graduates earning over £ 65,000 to repay their loans at an interest rate higher.
Proposal
work shows that the government can not claim to be forced to raise the ceiling so high because the budget deficit, which could have made different choices, says Mahmoud, who supported Miliband in the leadership race of the work.
another proposal would avoid the significant role of higher education white - the so-called "core and margin" plan to allow universities to recruit an unlimited number of students at or AAB that the A-level, but 20 000 places available in the industry depends on the supply of institutions that charge less than £ 7500.
This Mahmood described as "completely confused and chaotic", "almost making-it-up-as-you-go-along territory which is not acceptable."
is also "very, very worried" to encourage higher education for profit and plans to focus strongly on when the paper comes before Parliament. She is particularly concerned about the government's plan to make it easier to get a college degree, because of the implications of quality assurance.
In all of these questions means that the work would if you were in power today - the lowest, reject the basic idea and the gap, while encouraging private providers - but beware of committing himself or by the action after the elections of 2015.
Workmaintain the principles of the students to make a fair contribution to the costs of their education and those who benefit most pay more, and as a graduate tax adheres to the principles, is not out of the table, she said. But she looks at many different systems and want to see what shape the industry in 2015. "If we can do more, do more," he said. However, "I will not make a stand now, students take the garden path and change your mind later ... I think they have had enough of that. "
- She sees to address the issues raised in the White Paper that only part of their work. It is also a priority is to see what colleges are primarily intended. It is a strategy to do this and expect to have in place before Christmas. Your first thought is that universities should be engines of growth and is willing to foster greater collaboration between institutions and between institutions and businesses. But for her, the diversity of the UK, the university is one of their strengths and value of higher education is not only economic. "I think there is a role beyond its economic value and research and innovation," he said. "It's their cultural value and because they become part of the identity of a city or region. Universities absorb the information and people, as it happens. " a policy area in which it is already clear - and it becomes very animated - is, after qualifying for admission, which supports. Why are you so interested? "Because I saw my sister go through the clearing and is a nightmare," she said.
His father, a civil engineer, is president of the local Labour Party and he and his mother wanted her children to go to college, what they did. "I guess in a way that they really value academic achievement and stereotypical Asian wanted their children in the professions," says Mahmoud. Indemnification worked as a litigator before becoming an MP. His sister is a manager of NHS and his brothers work in computer science and accounting.
At Oxford, he became president of the junior common in your school Lincoln, but otherwise deliberately avoided student politics, preferring to interact with different views from yours. "Although I've never been attracted to the other side, so to speak, was very interesting for me at least to test myself."

Excluding religious education will impoverish young people | Andrew Jones
to omit from the English school does not make sense in a world where the role of faith is more important than ever
uncertaintiesnext school year is the role of religious education in schools in England and Wales. In July, the Ministry of Education announced that RE will be out of high school English final (EBacc), despite the concern of the Education Committee, the National Association of Teachers of RE (Natra) and organizations like the Catholic Church and the first Christian radio minister.
The EBacc be awarded to students completing GCSE in English, mathematics, language and a humanities course, which may include history and geography, but not ER. This has left many questioning teachers RE relevance and acceptance of his subject, especially as Michael Gove, the Secretary of Education cited the lack of credibility on the subject of the Russell Group universities to justify their exclusion. However, to dismiss the issue because of its current shortcomings ignores the role played by ER and you can follow in preparing youth for a more diverse and globalized. It also ignores the academic background of the subject, which has a long history of improving our understanding of the beliefs of humanity, cultures and traditions.
- However, RE is more than just add-on program designed to increase empathy and understanding, especially in academic studies on religion could be said to date back to Hecataeus of Miletus reflections skeptical about the mythical beliefs in the fourth century. Moreover, not only the history of many major universities in the world related to theology and religious conflict, but the contemporary academic credibility of renewable energy as an issue was clearly established at humanities Friedrich Max Müller was appointed the first Professor of Comparative Religion at Oxford University in 1868. Go Müller is the perceived need by some to understand and respect the world's religions, cultures and traditions in a time of global expansion and colonial domination.
Despite minimal school time is still given to RE, citizenship and personal health and economic education, excluding the RE EBacc discourage many students from the course choosing to study GCSE quite rigorous. A survey by Natra believes that next year GCSE entries could be reduced by one third of non-faith schools. No doubt this has an impact on the level of absorption and could result in fewer students who have read the theology of religion, comparative philosophy or college.
also undermine the stature and credibility of the academic subject finally dent its ability to be taken seriously in the coming years.

There were a few exceptions in recent years that have spent time in the cabinet, as Geoff Hoon, and Yvette Cooper, but it is usually a visit low profile.
therefore able to make much progress in government Djanogly was not bad, but the apparent conflict of interest recently shown - not to mention anger ally last year on their use private detectives to investigate their colleagues - did not help. And, perhaps, who always gave the impression of being somewhat satisfied with their current job.
Djanogly was waiting to join Ken Clarke in the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills after the last election, but when Clarke was appointed in place of the Department of Justice, Djanogly was with him. Although the Convention may appoint counsel for the Department of Justice is gone, is still the case there is still a minister in the Secretary of State with a right and Djanogly earlier, a business partner in a major city of the London law firm is the current owner.
This experience is not much more qualified than their colleagues who are not advocates for the reform of legal aid, criminal law and contingency fee agreements, but his work During the legal aid cases and the punishment of offenders bill. For me, the recent revelations - but not in good condition - do not much in practice
Suite Responsibility for overseeing the management company claims to go to Clarke, the Bar Association jumped on the bandwagon and ordered a "pause" in the progress of the bill. While the report stage of Bill in the House of Commons was delayed a week, apparently for reasons of timing, I'm not surprised to see a break. It is almost outside the Commons and Lords to meet, where serious arguments and concessions were made (including the new clinical negligence in the field of legal assistance is a favorite of bookies "). While going Djanogly , it is unlikely to make a difference in the reform agenda - in my opinion, it is just another minister for bad cuts package, rather than a man pursues his own agenda
Djanogly- think your legacy will be the introduction of alternative business structures (ABS), which have the potential to radically transform the legal market. Despite the creation of the 2007 Labour Law Legal Services, he likes to take some credit, as he did many conservatives spade work as the act was in Parliament, and have resisted those who wanted to end the "law Tesco's "Once in power.

Isis laboratory funding shortfall 'damaging UK's research standing'
Scientists say that the lack of 3 million pounds per year for operating expenses £ 400m midfielder is underutilized
hundreds of scientific experiments are being lost by UK universities as there is little money to run one of the country's research centers, the most important.
Jobs in high priority areas of green energy and design of drugs to biotechnology and microelectronics has been disrupted, threatening the basis of UK research and international reputation, said scientists.
The government spent 400 million pounds in the construction of the neutron source ISIS, a world-class laboratory in Buenos Aires, but the machine is used mostly by the lack of 3 million pounds a year for electricity and operating costs. The laboratory was forced to torpor part-time as the government reduced the budget for scientific research and donors allocated very little money to pay the operating costs of the installation.
Installation Isisusing intense beams of neutrons to show where the atoms in the materials and how they move. The machine can reveal details of microscopic structure and processes that can not be seen with other techniques, but are critical to understanding how materials behave complex.
concerning Isis laboratory come weeks after David Cameron made a speech at the Science Museum in London in which he stressed the need to "rebalance the economy" by the highest value of production and engineering.
scientists can use the facilities of Isis for 120 days this year instead of an expected 180. The machine can operate for more than 220 days a year, researchers at the site told the Guardian. Isis receives twice as many applications that can be accommodated, and many scientists have been applied.
"The damage to the base of research in UK universities through a wide range of disciplines is out of all proportion to the cost savings," said Professor Jon Goff, a physicist at the University of London. "The economy is mainly the cost of electricity, and is considered to be the financial value of a research grant to one group at a university," he said.
"For that, you lose a third of the science. Hundreds of experiments have been lost, affecting several research groups in universities ... This greatly affects the international competitiveness of UK research. Very Often these experiences are crucial to the thesis of a student. "
- another principal investigator who requested anonymity, the reputation of Britain was being harmed by the situation. "Nobody outside the UK can understand the decision to invest hundreds of millions of pounds in a center and not use it properly. Many excellent science is not going to do, "he said.
- The neutron source ISIS is home to a community of 2000 scientists at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus near Didcot. Despite its global reputation, Isis has become an easy target for budget cuts because it has a lower profile than the source device of diamonds near the light, which is owned in part by the Wellcome Trust. It was feared that Isis can be completely put on hold. Isis
Figures obtained under Freedom of Information Act by the Campaign for Science and Engineering (Case) has confirmed that Isis is running on only two-thirds of the capacity and run for an extra 60 days per year would cost only £ 3.4 million.
"It's like Manchester United a point from 400 million pounds, which can not play a third time because they can not afford to turn on the lights," said business manager, Imran Khan. "is surprisingly inefficient. Here we have a unique resource that could be the delivery of all progress, new drugs for the storage of clean energy, but it sits dormant for much of years because scientists Don t have the funds to keep the doors open. As a nation, we must invest in discovery and innovation if we want a sustainable economic growth. It is very sad to see us do not maximize our potential, "said.

Amnesty International: why the pen is mightier than the sword
To mark its half century, Amnesty International is calling on its supporters to write letters again
has never been easier to support the campaigns of Amnesty International. Sending tweets to sign online petitions, or even attend public meetings, people can demand action on a variety of ways. So why the pioneer human rights organization want to return to the old wording of letters to his writing rights campaign? "It still works. It is still very important, "said Kate Allen, director of Amnesty International in the UK." In our 50 years, we demonstrate that our basic idea of ??origin, in writing or that the authorities are abusing human rights or people who are on the receiving end of it can still be of enormous power.
"If you're in jail, not going to get tweets and emails. However, you can receive letters and cards. And if you do not, your family can receive them .
"I do not remember how many times I was informed by a prisoner of conscience or organization that men and women of Zimbabwe Arise our cards and letters of provide real hope. This is a link to the outside world and gives them knowledge that does not fight for them. "
Amnesty International has selected 10 cases in writing to the Human Rights Campaign, each defended by advocates of amnesty for high profile, such as Ian Hislop and Saffron Burrows. Is expected to send letters to those who can put an end to abuses that make the difference.
The profile of the four cases in writing to the Human Rights Campaign, with the names and addresses of people you need to write. Fatima Hussein Badi , 48, housewife, Yemen
convicted after an unfair trial, Fatima was sentenced to death in 2001 for the murder of her husband, Ali Hamoud al-Jalal.
After the murder was committed, the police would have required more than five hours during the night, without a lawyer present. Threatened with rape if she confessed to the crime.
To save her from being raped, his brother Abdullah decided that he had killed Hamoud. He was executed in 2005.
Amnesty International, Fatima had no legal representation for many of their court hearings and prevented from speaking in court. It has now been imprisoned for more than 10 years old and lives under the threat of imminent execution. Amnesty calls on the Vice President of Yemen to the death sentence of Fatima switch.
Olympic silver medal-winning cyclist Emma Pooley is also support their cause. "Over the past 50 years, we found that such campaigns can have a powerful effect on the presidents and generals when they realize that the world is watching. And it's much harder to take when you consider the abuse of the world's eyes are on you, "she said.
Write to:
Rab Mansur al-Abd al-Hadi, Vice President of the Office, Sana'a, Republic of Yemen
Inés Fernández Ortega, 34, former farmer, Mexico and Valentina Rosendo Cantu, 26, a trainee nurse in Mexico
After being raped by Mexican soldiers in separate attacks in 2002, these indigenous women courageously denounced his ordeal. However, their cases were handled by military courts, which have a bad fight against the abuse of civilians by soldiers. In August 2010, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights has ordered a full investigation, adding that the two women must be protected and compensation.
A year later, their cases were transferred to the civil courts, and it is expected that the soldiers who raped will be brought to justice. Amnesty calls on people to write to the President of Mexico, urging him to implement the recommendations of the Inter-American Court in its entirety. Saffron Burrows, actress and former model, is also the defense of Inés and Valentina cause. "The value of these two women must be claimed by the international support for the message of solidarity can encourage and provide certainty."- Write to

Chelsea's win over Wolverhampton Wanderers 'not critical'
- "What time will define the model of the Premier League," said Villas-Boas. "We must give a good idea of ??where we are. All these teams are at the top of us that means we have a chance. If we do, we can achieve them. It was not a game [critics ]. It's next game against Valencia [next week] in the Champions League, where the winning team will qualify for the next round. So we enjoy this victory. "
Chelsea turned out to be more ruthless, after Nenad Milijas to reflect on their power and indecision of the wolves "in the resulting corner John Terry has opened the score. The Chelsea captain was booked after the loss of time and will miss the visit of Liverpool.
Wolves should more than that, especially given the anxiety that gripped the majority in the area of ??trade openness. Instead, he offered the worst possible combination: they are useless in attack, loose in the back. "You could feel the relief when Chelsea scored," said Mick McCarthy. "It was everywhere. Fans, players, coaches, manager, but I prefer to be under pressure with the team that many others, believe me. "His own camp were sold here, injuries and suspensions have stripped of key personnel. They hope to find more pace to visit Sunderland on Sunday. Chelsea can only try to keep this kind of dynamic. In the process, there were words of support for the director of Mata, who took him to England last summer, to suggest this team stays together and committed to the man in charge. "It's very friendly with us, beside us," said Spanish. "It is more or less the same age [34], since most of the labor force, and it's something really good. Your age is not important. He won all the tournaments that could win with Porto, and to have had the experience of age, shows how good it is.
