Indian nuclear workers 'deliberately poisoned'. (AFP) – 5 hours ago. BANGALORE, India — Workers at a nuclear power plant in southern India were treated for poisoning after drinking water was deliberately spiked with radiation, senior government officials said Sunday. Routine tests showed 55 employees from the plant in Kaiga in the state of Karnataka had increased levels of the radioactive element tritium, which is used in nuclear reactors. B. Bhattacharjee, a member of the National Disaster Management Authority, said someone had inserted contaminated water into a water cooler, according to the Press Trust of India. The employees had not suffered any ill effects and had returned to work, plant officials told AFP. Atomic Energy Commission chairman Anil Kakodkar, speaking on the Headlines Today television network, blamed the sabotage on "an insider who has played mischief". Kakodkar said security was "fool-proof" and there was no chance of an outsider gaining access to the station. The Nuclear Power Corporation of India, which operates the country's civil nuclear facilities, said in a statement that preliminary enquiries revealed no radioactive leak or security breach. "It is possibly an act of mischief," the statement said. State ministers assured local residents that their health was not at risk. The Kaiga plant was shut down in October for annual maintenance and is due to reopen shortly.

I KNEW, HE CAN’T SCAPE THIS TIME. Prince Charles named in £81m Chelsea November 29, 2009. Barracks court battle. The Candy brothers, property developers for the super-rich, want to call the Prince of Wales as a witness in an £81m case in which they are suing the Qatari royal family over the collapse of their plans to build Britain’s most expensive residential block. Nick and Christian Candy claim it was Charles’s outburst against the venture to Qatar’s rulers that wrecked their scheme for London’s Chelsea Barracks. The prince criticized the £3 billion glass and steel multi-storey plan for the site designed by Lord Rogers and backed by the brothers. He proposed a classical alternative that mirrored the 17th-century Royal Hospital, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, across the street. High Court documents obtained by The Sunday Times show the brothers claims that the decision to withdraw their planning application was “the direct result of an intervention in the planning process by the Prince of Wales”. Legal experts say that if Charles is summoned it would be difficult for him to avoid attending court because the Candy’s would have the right to cross-examine him. The brothers’ lawyers will want to ask the prince what was said during an afternoon tea with the ruler of Qatar when he visited Britain to open a gas terminal in May. The prince’s architectural campaigns have previously dragged him into controversies, but the stakes have never been so high. In 1984 he called Rogers’s proposed extension to the National Gallery a “monstrous carbuncle”. He would be the first royal to appear as a witness in court since the future Edward VII gave evidence in a gambling case in 1890. In 2002 the Princess Royal, Charles’s sister, appeared in court to be fined £500 by magistrates after one of her dogs attacked two children. The Candys, through Christian Candy’s CPC Group, are seeking a declaration that Qatari Diar, the Gulf state’s property investment company, breached the Candys’ contract when it withdrew the scheme in June, a week before Westminster council was due to hear the application. The Candys had been given an initial payment of £38m as the planning consultants but were due to receive another £81m once the scheme, involving hundreds of high-price apartments, was built. The case turns on the prince’s alleged intervention. The CPC says that in March Charles wrote to Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabr Al Thani, the prime minister of Qatar and chairman of Qatari Diar, urging him to reconsider his company’s plans for the site. A series of meetings followed between Qatari Diar and Clarence House staff, including Sir Michael Peat, the prince’s principal private secretary. When Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa, the Emir of Qatar and the prime minister’s cousin, visited the UK for the opening of the gas terminal at Milford Haven he had tea with Charles. The Candys hope to find out if the prince lobbied against the scheme. They will allege that following that exchange, Qatari Diar decided to withdraw its planning application for the 12.8-acre site. It dispensed with the services of the Candys and Rogers before launching a competition to design a new scheme. Giles Barrie, editor of Property Week magazine, said: “This claim is dynamite. Not only does it lift the lid on the politics of two royal families, but also for the first time a developer is claiming that the Prince of Wales has cost them cold hard cash.” Palace officials are likely to argue that the prince was only one voice against the Candys’ plans for Chelsea Barracks. Lord Stockton, grandson of Harold MacMillan, the former prime minister, was among hundreds of local residents who opposed the scheme. He said it was “an abomination” and an “insult to the memory of the young men who fought for their country”. He said that the social housing element was reminiscent of “the blocks of flats which surround every eastern European city”. A Clarence House spokesman said: “We are not commenting other than to say there were no contractual relationships between us and anyone else and therefore we are not party to any legal dispute.” CPC declined to comment. High living The Candy brothers’ plan for Chelsea Barracks was in the expensive tradition of another of their developments, One Hyde Park, which contains 86 apartments. The flats have bullet-proof windows, panic rooms and a health club. Penthouses go for £100m and one-bedroomed flats are priced at £20m. Kit Malthouse, London’s deputy mayor, has described it as “a rank alien weed on the very edge of precious Hyde Park”. Hugh Pearman, The Sunday Times’s architecture correspondent, said: “It has the same problem as their plan for Chelsea Barracks had. They had to pay so much for the land that they have had to pile up the accommodation.” Royal Mail, not the royal family, is raining on the Candys’ parade at Hyde Park. It insists the address is actually 100 Knightsbridge.

Sócrates diz que portugueses estão distraídos em termos de inovação e conhecimento. Hoje às 12:52. O primeiro-ministro entende que os portugueses andam distraídos nas questões que tocam a inovação e conhecimento. Numa alocução aos empresários ibero-americanos, José Sócrates frisou que Portugal é o primeiro país da UE em termos de Governo Electrónico. O primeiro-ministro lamentou que os portugueses andem tão distraídos com as questões ligadas à inovação e conhecimento, que vão marcar a XIX Cimeira Ibero-americana, que começa este domingo, com um acto inaugural nos Jardins da Torre de Belém. Ao explicar aos empresários dos países ibero-americanos a razão da escolha deste tema, José Sócrates elogiou as virtudes do Plano Tecnológico, lançado pelo seu Governo, e lembrou a excelente posição de Portugal a nível de Governo Electrónico na União Europeia. «Sabem qual é a posição de Portugal neste momento? É isso mesmo, somos o primeiro país dos 27, em toda a Europa em matéria de Governo Electrónico. Sei que muitos de vós podem ficar surpreendidos, porque não conheciam, esta posição de Portugal», adiantou. Sócrates recordou ainda que muitos portugueses desconheciam também esta posição, «porque há aquela grande especialidade de transformar as boas notícias em segredos bem guardados nas sociedades». No final do encontro, o presidente da Confederação Empresarial de Portugal defendeu que os portugueses devem trabalhar nos problemas reais do país e não andarem distraídos, agora que se começam a sentir os sinais da retoma. «Tudo o resto são divertimentos que andam por aí a acontecer que não queremos participar. Queremos acima de tudo dizer que nos temos de unir, que temos de trabalhar em conjunto, temos de criar uma grande situação para que o nosso país possa ganhar este desafio», explicou Rocha de Matos. Para Rocha de Matos, os portugueses, nomeadamente os políticos e não os empresários, «andam a discutir tudo menos o que interessa à sociedade portuguesa, que é o desenvolvimento, a criação de postos de trabalho».
