Staff | truthdig.com | 2019-11-12
In an unprecedented step, more than 11,000 scientists from 153 nations have united to warn the world that, without deep and lasting change, the climate emergency promises humankind unavoidable "untold suffering." | And as if to underline that message, a US research group has predicted that — on the basis of experiments so far — global heating could reduce rice yields by 40% by the end of the century, and at the same time intensify levels of ar…

Agrarian Crisis and Malnutrition: GM Agriculture Is Not the Answer
Colin Todhunter | counterpunch.org | 2019-11-12
M S Swaminathan is often referred to as the 'father' of India's Green Revolution. In 2009, he said that no scientific evidence had emerged to justify concerns about genetically modified (GM) crops, often regarded as stage two of the Green Revolution.

UK employment sees biggest decline for four years as job vacancies slump
The Canary | thecanary.co | 2019-11-12
UK employment suffered its sharpest decline in more than four years in the three months to September as the number of job vacancies also plunged, new figures reveal. | The number of people in work declined by 58,000 to 32.75 million in the quarter, as the number of people becoming economically inactive jumped higher, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. | However, the slump in employment was smaller than analysts predicted, having forecast a decline of 102,000. | The quarterly decline in employment was nevertheless the heaviest since May 2015, when the level fell by 65,000. | The ONS said the falling nu…

University of Virginia excoriated for ditching Veterans Day 21-gun salute 'because gun violence'
rt.com | 2019-11-11
The University of Virginia has been forced to reconsider its removal of the 21-gun salute from its Veterans Day ceremony after massive backlash from locals, veterans, and even the students the decision was supposed to 'protect.' | UVA ditched the salute, citing concerns it would panic students associating the sound with "gun violence." Faced with a towering backlash, however, university president Jim Ryan has pledged to reconsider the move – for next year. | The decade-old tradition was dropped after what Ryan insists was careful consideration by the university Air Force ROTC commander and the Provost's Office…

Remembering the 1968 Orangeburg Massacre When Police Shot Dead Three Unarmed Black Students
Staff | democracynow.org | 2019-11-08
The 1968 Orangeburg massacre is one of the most violent and least remembered events of the civil rights movement. A crowd of students gathered on the campus of South Carolina State University to protest segregation at Orangeburg's only bowling alley. After days of escalating tensions, students started a bonfire and held a vigil on the campus to protest. Dozens of police arrived on the scene, and state troopers fired live ammunition into the crowd. When the shooting stopped, three students were dead and 28 wounded. Although the tragedy predated the Kent State shootings and Jackson State killings and it was the fir…

Algerian Protesters Are Still in the Streets, Months After Pushing Out Longtime President Bouteflika
Staff | democracynow.org | 2019-11-07
In Algeria, protests against corruption, the jailing of opposition leaders and the army's powerful role in national politics have entered their ninth month. Tens of thousands filled the streets of the capital Algiers last Friday to mark the 65th anniversary of the war of independence from France and to demand a "new revolution" rather than an upcoming election they say will be rigged. Over 100 student protesters were arrested last night as the Algerian government intensified its crackdown on demonstrators ahead of the upcoming polls. Interim President Abdelkader Bensalah announced the country will hold a presiden…
