Tens of thousands took to the street of Madrid to protest against what they say is an attempt by the local centre-right government to use a debt crisis to strangle public schools and benefit private ones. Madrid s regional government run by the People s Party that is expected to win general elections in November had asked public high school teachers to take on two extra classroom hours per week in a bid to save 80 million euros on extra staff. Clad in green t-shirts, state school teachers were joined by students banging on pans and holding banners demanding investment in public education. The demonstrators marched to Sol square as they chanted slogans against austerity measures in education. Head of teachers union ANPE in Madrid Francisco Melcon said the cuts would damage quality of education. "Of course with the cuts undertaken the last year and with the instructions at the start of this academic year all of this damages the quality of public education and that of course affects overall quality of education that pupils receive at public institutions," said Melcon.

Russia, China veto UN resolution on Syria

Posted:

Speaking following last night s vote in New York, Mr Hague said: “I am of course disappointed by Russia and China s decision to veto the UNSCR. “This will be seen in the region as a decision to side with a brutal regime rather than with the people of Syria, and will be a bitter blow to all those Syrians who have implored the international community to take a stand.” Mr Hague said the resolution, which was tabled by the UK along with France, Germany and Portugal, was "carefully drafted and entirely reasonable" and that those who blocked it would have the "horrific abuses" of the Syrian regime on their conscience. He added: "It took account of the need for all sides to reject violence, stressed that a political transition should be Syrian-led and was explicit that Security Council consideration of sanctions against Syria should not include military action. Mr Hague vowed to continue "to stand side by side with the Syrian people" and said Britain would "redouble our efforts to work with our international partners to increase the pressure on the regime wherever we can, and assure the people of Syria that they will not be forgotten." The Security Council vote was 9-2 with four abstentions - India, South Africa, Brazil and Lebanon. Russia s UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said his country did not support President Assad s regime or the violence, but opposed the resolution because it was "based on a philosophy of confrontation," contained "an ultimatum of sanctions," and was against a peaceful settlement of a crisis.

In Chechnya, Kesi Karuyeva recalls both the Soviet revolution, having survived both. That would make her one year older than American Besse Cooper, who was named the world’s oldest living person by Guinness World Records earlier this year.

Relatives say they have documents from the Russian Ministry of the Interior related to Karuyeva s rehabilitation that suggest that she s 11 years older than her passport date.

Raymond Davis, a CIA contractor, caused a vertebrae fracture and other injuries to a man during a fight over a parking space in Colorado. An arrest warrant affidavit identified the victim as Jeffrey Maes and said he also suffered head injuries, abrasions and contusions. Maes attended a court hearing Tuesday and had a large U-shape wound on his forehead. He left the courtroom with an armed deputy by his side who told reporters Maes did not wish to comment. Davis was allowed to leave the courtroom through a back hallway and avoided reporters. In January, Davis said he shot two Pakistani in Lahore. Pakistan released him March 16 after the victims  families agreed to accept $2.34 million. The shooting remains under investigation by US authorities. Senior Deputy District Attorney Rich Orman mentioned the shooting while asking County Judge Susanna Meissner-Cutler to forbid Davis from carrying a firearm while free on bail. Orman said he wanted to avoid another situation where there could be "potential lack of judgment." "We need to consider this fact, and I don t believe the defendant should be allowed to carry a firearm," Orman said.
