Amnesty International: Torture

Nearly half of people around the world fear becoming a victim of torture if taken into custody, so says an Amnesty International survey released today and heralding the start of a new worldwide AI campaign against torture. Concern about torture is highest in Brazil, where 80 percent people said they would not feel safe from torture if arrested, and lowest in Britain at 15 percent. Torture a story of man’s inhumanity to man.

#BringBackOurGirls

Boko Haram has released a video supposedly showing some of the kidnapped girls. The kidnappers say the girls have all converted to Islam and will only be released in exchange for Boko Haram members held in jail. Meanwhile the US, Britain and France are helping in the search and one leading Republican law-maker in the US says he would support President Obama if he chose to send in troops.

Iran nuclear talks

The next round of talks on reaching a final comprehensive agreement on Iran’s nuclear programme begins in Vienna. This time around the various parties will be trying to agree on the actually wording for a final agreement and actually start putting things in writing. This phase of the negotiations could be the most difficult yet so what’s at stake and how optimistic - or not - should we be?

A Killer Whale or Orca living in captivity is involved in the deaths of three people including its trainer. This is the story behind the documentary film “Blackfish” which has been described as a mesmerizing psychological thriller with a killer whale in the starring role. A tale of man’s inhumanity to animals. We speak to Nicolas Entrup who organised the Austrian film Screening.

Island on fire: Iceland & the super volcano

The volcanic eruptions in Iceland four years ago were bad enough but were nothing compared to the eruptions that took place in 18th century when the Laki volcano erupted over an eight month period. What was it like back then, how vulnerable is Europe today and are governments ready for something similar happening again?
