Teheran (RIA Novosti) Oct 29, 2007Turkey said on Sunday that a military option was still on the table to deal with Iraq-based separatist Kurdish rebels.

The Turkish parliament ... more Russia Launches Proton Carrier Rocket After The Ban

Kazakhstan li ... more China Says US Missile Shield Threatens Global Stability 
Harbin, China (RIA Novosti) Oct 29, 2007The placement of U.S. missile defenses in Europe will not ease global security concerns but will undermine the global strategic balance, the Chinese foreign minister said Wednesday. Washington insists that the deployment of a radar in the Czech Republic and a missile interceptor base in Poland will protect the U.S. and its NATO allies from potential missile attacks coming from Iran or North Kore ... more Outside View: Russia's missile options 
Moscow (UPI) Oct 26, 2007 The situation around the proposed deployment of a missile defense system in Europe and the threat of a Russian moratorium on the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty can be traced to the ambitions and a reluctance of the sides to understand each other. This is true both of the West and Russia. The result may be an unwarranted and unwanted aggravation of relations. There are ma ... more |

Washington (AFP) Oct 26, 2007The White House on Friday rejected Russian President Vladimir Putin's comparison between Moscow's dispute with Washington over defense to the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. "I think that the historical comparison does not exactly work," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. "The purpose of the missile defense system in Europe is to defend against a missile that would attack one of our Eu ... more Iran reformists warn of isolation over nuclear policy 
Tehran (AFP) Oct 26, 2007Iran's top reformist party on Friday criticised the foreign policy of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, saying it was bringing the risk of tougher international confrontation over Tehran's nuclear standoff. Mohsen Mirdamadi, secretary general of the Iranian Islamic Participation Front, warned that "new sanctions and even more dangerous actions" could result from the president's "self-praise and ... more Turkish army kills 15 Kurdish rebels: TV

The operation, backed by helicopter gunships, took place in mountainous terrain near the town of Pulumur, it said. The main road between Tunceli and the neighbouring province of Erzurum to the east was closed early in the morning as the crackdown beg ... more US denies being on warpath with Iran 
Washington (AFP) Oct 26, 2007The White House on Friday rejected any parallels between its Iran rhetoric and the run up to the Iraq invasion, adding it had not ruled out the use of force but was "very hopeful" of avoiding war. Fresh sanctions on Tehran and escalating US warnings have fueled comparisons to the weeks and months before the March 2003 invasion, but spokesman Tony Fratto told reporters: "I don't think there a ... more Outside View: EU must up the ante on Iran 
London (UPI) Oct 26, 2007 When it comes to dealing with Iran, European foreign ministers are at least consistent. Faced with a decision last week over what to do about Iran's suspected nuclear program, they resolved once again to do nothing, passing the buck to a committee of European experts who will study how sanctions against Iran can be further tightened up. Washington's response? In the most bellicose spee ... more |

Paris, France (SPX) Oct 29, 2007Microbes such as bacteria tend to live in complex colonies called biofilms, where there can resist antibiotics and cause more problems for the immune system. Biofilms comprising millions of bacteria are at the root of many serious chronic infectious diseases such as cystic fibrosis and periodontal disease, as well as industrial contamination, biofouling and biocorrosion. Yet biofilms also ... more Russia, EU To Create Energy Supply Early Warning System 
Mafra, Portugal (RIA Novosti) Oct 29, 2007Russia and the European Union agreed to establish an early warning system to keep track of possible problems with energy supplies from Russia, President Vladimir Putin said on Friday.

New Orleans LO (SPX) Oct 29, 2007Researchers have been studying fuels from biomass for years. Now, with growing dependency on foreign oils and an energy-conscious society emerging, biofuels are fast becoming part of a fuel revolution that could reach pumps all across America. Ethanol blends are already available at some gas stations. However, their availability varies from state to state, depending on the volume of ethanol prod ... more Learning The Lessons Of Oil Crises 
Moscow (RIA Novosti) Oct 29, 2007Oil prices on the world's commodity markets have topped $90 per barrel. "Black gold" now costs more than it did during the fuel crisis of 1973 (with a correction for inflation), and is just ten dollars below its 1980 record high. Analysts say a new record could be set before the end of this year. However, such forecasts do not cause panic in the Western world, where consumers have learned over t ... more
