      Millions of US war veterans suffering from mental illnesses have been hit by serious delays in much-needed treatment, according to a new report requested by Congress. To help alleviate the problem, the government is planning to increase the number of medical staff at Veteran Affairs department, which provides patient care and federal benefits to veterans and their dependents. But many former soldiers are sceptical.

      Distinguished by their dark skin, Yemen's 'untouchables', who prefer to be called the marginalised ones, are a caste languishing at society's lowest social order. Named the Akhdam, an Arabic word for servant, they are confined to living in slums and working menial jobs, with no regard given to their basic human rights. Activists and community leaders are fighting to eliminate stereotypes that surrounds them.

      Is Putin the modest 'man of the people' as his supporters declare - a leader who eschews wealth and privilege, as honest as the day is long? Or is he the owner of a vast but secret fortune and at the centre of a web of intrigue and financial wheeler-dealing as his critics allege?

      Is the Arab Spring a movement leading to more freedom and equal rights? Not for women, according to Amal al-Malki, a Qatari author who is very concerned about the rights of women in the Arab world. She is largely skeptical of recent developments and says, if anything, the Arab Spring has only highlighted the continuing “second-class citizenship" of women in the region.

      Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, Argentina's president, has been vying to nationalise businesses. And nothing has ruffled feathers more than the audacious move on the country's oil company YPF. The problem is that it was owned by Spanish oil giant Repsol and a diplomatic row has ensued. But could this drama have a lot more to do with Fernandez falling out with Argentina's billionaire Eskenazi family?

      On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded, killing 11 workers. Oil flowed unabated for three months - spilling a total of 4.9 million barrels of it into the ocean. So should we rely on oil companies to regulate their own safety standards or should the US government introduce new legislation to minimise the possibility of another environmental catastrophe?
      Has safety improved since the BP oil spill?
      www.aljazeera.com
      Two years on, we ask if oil companies can be relied upon to regulate their own standards or if legislation is necessary.

        Exactly that is what we are concerned here in India. I hope we did bag the contract for mopping kind of with use of chemicals that go to render the spilt over oil getting absorbed as it contained such properties that would take most harmful... things taken out; well, I didnot know as to its performance. But, onething is sure that some legal enactment must be in proper place as to first to take care of safety standards; and if in case of any untoward incidence hapens, what procedure to deal with and the compensation paid with quick care taken for control of the situation. Cant UN take Initiative in this Direction? Ashok Kumar PuriSee More
