France - Growth not austerity, says presidential challenger Hollande
Published on Mar 16, 2012 by Euronews
http://www.euronews.com/
The frontrunner in the race to become the next French president has
made a plea for Europe to boost the economy as well as cut deficits.The socialist candidate François Hollande said on French television that the priority should be securing growth rather than austerity.
The main challenger to President Sarkozy, he renewed his criticism of the recently agreed EU fiscal compact, saying it should include clauses on growth and job creation.
"I will not sacrifice the interests of my country. Never. And so if Europe is not capable of taking decisions, I won't ratify - or won't ask for the ratification - of the fiscal treaty," Hollande said.
Another Sarkozy foe will not be standing - barring, he says, a miracle. Former prime minister Dominique de Villepin, who fought a bitter court battle with the president and rejects his vision of France, claims he has not come up with the necessary 500 signatures from elected officials ahead of today's deadline.
De Villepin, hovering around one per cent in opinion polls, launched his own political movement two years ago but has lost much parliamentary support.
Next month's election will see a Europe Ecology-Greens candidate. Eva Joly, currently an MEP, is also trailing in the polls but has more than 600 signatures.
In contrast, around 10 percent say they intend to vote for another MEP, Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The buoyant Left-wing Front candidate has more than double the number of sponsors he needs.

Unfair extradition laws between US & UK-A Simple Question-03-12-2012
Uploaded by PressTVGlobalNews on Mar 13, 2012

The Extradition Act of 2003 has over the last few years come under renewed and increased scrutiny through a number of different cases where UK citizens are being sent to the US to be tried in US courts for criminal offenses that would not be considered as incriminating in the United Kingdom.
The treaty is being argued as one-sided as it allows the US to extradite UK citizens and others for offenses committed against US law even though the alleged offense may have been committed in the UK - outside the realm of US law.
The US has a much larger number of extraditions from the UK than the UK has from the US which further tips the unbalance in favor of the United States, and there is the added concern that UK citizens expected to cover the cost of the legal aid privately, as their entitlement to UK legal aid becomes negligent.
Cases that are currently being debated are those of Richard O'Dwyer - 23-year old student charged in the US for breaking its copyright laws; and Christopher Tappin - a 64 year old golfer who is the victim of entrapment; and Gary McKinnon - a computer hacker who was searching for proof of UFOs online.
None of these UK citizens have ever even been to the US, and it is doubtful whether they are committing any crime according to UK law. Nevertheless, they are all at risk of being extradited to the US in the near future.
David Cameron and Nick Clegg came into office with the promise of changing this Act because it is unfairly balanced against UK citizens. Why has nothing been done yet?

Dear Sir
Scammers in the USA
I understand that you are extraditing 2 British citizen´s to the USA., one the
victim of a sting operation Christopher Tappin by the FB1 for unwittingly selling
batteries to Iran (to Texas where scammer ualadys.com server is located)
and, the other a student for having a web site with links to free down loads of
television programs. I always purchase my DVD´s and CD´s as I believe the artists
should have their royalties.
However America´s Goolge does exactly the same and had links to the site Magaupload.
Today is still links to pirate sites http://bit.ly/yas3IG. Why does the American
judicial system allow it?
Is google adsense a scam? http://bit.ly/w5NjAK
They are misappropriating their affiliate´s earnings without a court order.
Affiliate programs are the modern day slave labor and my investigations suggest
that since the crisis of 2008 affiliates are being scammed.
You want to try these British citizens and yet you allow criminals to walk around
the USA and scam dating sites to have offices New York. - TwoCon Corp 1905 E 17
Street Brooklyn. The said branch of uadreams.com External Holding (Gibraltar)
Limited. Complaints have been made to the FBI. Interpol and the Fraud Squad in
Gibraltar.
The founder is Steve Salvesen http://bit.ly/9bD994 (Confidential Connections) a
NY porn star and Ben Olivares http://scr.bi/buKPmt recently involved in Gold Mine
scams. See http://bit.ly/wVscFz & http://bit.ly/2cvqqB & http://bit.ly/dzWRyY
There have been many complaints about another American run site Fiance.com
http://bit.ly/xvLtj6 Eleview International Inc., which I believe is based in
Carolina.
If Google is paid for having uadreams.com details at the top of the page, as they
have, I respectfully submit they are equally guilty of assisting in the online
scam if proved; as are the credit card companies and External Holding
(Gibraltar) Limited credit card processors
We have also found links between uadreams.com parent company External Holding (Gibraltar) Limited http://externalholding.com/projects.php and an American politician Philliprockwell.com
I trust that you will initiate the appropriate actions and thank you in
anticipation
Yours faithfully
