Native Americans' unkept promises.

AlJazeeraEnglish | November 06, 2010 - Native Americans overwhelmingly voted for Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential election.

That support was due in part to his campaign promises to improve reservation life.

But many Native Americans are still looking for guarantees on land and water rights, in addition to Obama's signature on the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Al Jazeera's Rob Reynolds reports from the Navajo Nation, a semi-autonomous Native American-governed territory, in Monument Valley, Utah.

Day of clashes in Germany over nuclear waste train.

Video of 'nuclear train' clashes :










FROM BBC NEWS:

Activists in northern Germany have been fighting running battles with police, trying to halt a train carrying nuclear waste from France.

Officers used batons, pepper spray, tear gas and water cannon to disperse at least 1,000 protesters who were trying to sabotage railway tracks.

The protesters hurled fireworks and set a police car on fire near Dannenberg.

Earlier, the train was halted after activists lowered themselves on ropes from a bridge over the tracks.

Sunday's clashes took place near Dannenberg - the final destination for the train before the waste is loaded onto lorries and taken to a storage facility.

Terrorism initiated by the Rich: Allow the rich to hijack the economic of the country, then make the authorities to send in the police to crush the people's protest ?

RussiaToday | October 19, 2010 - Masked youths clashed with police and set fires in cities across France on Tuesday as protests against a proposed hike in the retirement age took an increasingly radical turn. President Nicolas Sarkozy pledged to crack down on "troublemakers" and guarantee public order, raising the possibility of more confrontations with young rioters after a week of disruptive but largely nonviolent demonstrations. More than 200 protests and one-day strikes by workers in sectors across the French economy were planned around the country over a bill raising the retirement age to 62. In many cities, protesters were being joined by young people who appeared to be seizing an opportunity to lash out at police. Protests turned violent in the central city of Lyon, where rioters smashed several store windows and torched rubbish bins and cars. Police used tear gas in an attempt to disperse trouble makers.

AlJazeeraEnglish | September 23, 2010 - The US state of Virginia is set to execute by lethal injection a 41-year-old grandmother, the first woman to be put to death in Virginia in almost 100 years.

A protester for the ages: people need water not weapons!

Western Mass. activist, 91, holds tight to liberal causes

Frances Crowe’s first arrest was as a Vietnam War protester in 1972, in Chicopee. 

“I have a vision of a better world,” she said. (Yoon S. Byun/ Globe Staff)

NORTHAMPTON — Authorities dragged the short woman with white hair out of her congressman’s Springfield office while she protested the Iraq war. She spent a month in federal prison after painting “Thou shalt not kill’’ on missile tubes of nuclear submarines in Connecticut. She has been arrested nine times for trespassing at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant.

When asked how often she has been hauled away for acts of civil disobedience, Frances Crowe responds with a smile: “Not enough.’’

At age 91, and less than a month after her latest arrest, the veteran protester — who favors socks with sandals, thick glasses, and oversized pins with bold-lettered messages — has no plans to stop agitating.
