By Nelson F. Núñez Vergara (*) Ecuador will have presidential elections next month October 15, and election results can stimulate important political changes within the country and a significant effect in the region. According to the latest surveys, the two main candidates are, the leftist Rafael Correa (33%), and Social Democrat Leon Roldós (22%), most likely to continue on into a second round of voting. Electoral norms dictate that a winner gain over 40% of the electorate votes in addition to having a 10% lead over the next closest rival. Correa is presently close to reaching that goal. read full story / add a comment

Have local authorities lost the plot and surcome to the the greed of the building industry by allowing apartments spring up all over the country. When we were told apatments or in lay mans terms FLATS were a thing of the past, why have the authorities allowed the construction of such apartents when the history of Ballymun has show us that in a social context such forms of construction will cause problems in the future. Do local authorities need to look at their proceedures in the allocation of housing to people who want a roof but say to hell with everything else? read full story / add a comment

She was a young mother of an eight year old boy. She was black. She ran a food market in the city centre. The report of an attack and kids leaving the scene of her attack was called in at 4.37am. Communities need to make the kids own to what they have done to the woman and her family. This is the second such violent attack on a car which was occupied. Two children were severely burnt in the Moyross area recently. Their family home has been attacked recently. Social exclusion has reached a new level of low in this instance. read full story / add a comment

On More 4 last night I watched a stupendous masterpiece of filmmaking. "Death of a President" a faux documentary is about the future assassination of President George W. Bush in Chicago on Oct 18, 2007 and the human and political fall out his shooting. Told in flash back with archive footage and interviews with a Bush's speechwriter, the dead of the Secret Service Death, the chief FBI investigator into the assassination, a forensic expert, witnesses and many others it has the appearance of a real documentary. read full story / add a comment

Since the highly publicised case in 1993 of the disappearance of Annie Mc Carrick there has been little done in the way of Gardai Resources to tackle the issue of finding the women that have gone missing along the East Coast of Ireland. There has been little done in the way of resourcing to combat the violence which has led to the death of two women, and the disappearance of one Meg Walsh in Waterford. No-one has been brought to Justice for the death Of Sophie Toscan du Plantier. Where are the Department of Justice resources going? read full story / add a comment
