Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
06 Jun 2014 09:05 GMT | Politics, Europe, US & Canada, France, Germany
Barack Obama and leaders of the G7 group of nations have threatened Russia with more sanctions if it continues to undermine the sovereignty of Ukraine and fund separatists in the east of the country.
The US president issued the warning on Thursday and urged his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to hold direct talks with the Ukrainian president-elect Petro Poroshenko to end the crisis.
"The kinds of destabilising activities funded and encouraged by Russia are illegal and not constructive," Obama said in Brussels after a meeting of G7 leaders.
Live Box 2014219141227163276
"There is a path in which Russia has a capacity to engage directly with President Poroshenko now. He should take it."
Obama said Russia must help stop the flow of arms into Ukraine, and exert its influence to stop further separatist operations.
"If Mr Putin takes those steps, then it is possible for us to begin to rebuild trust between Russia and its neighbours and Europe," Obama said. "We will have a chance to see what Mr Putin does over the next two, three, four weeks, and if he remains on the current course, then we've already indicated that kinds of actions that we are prepared to take."
The British prime minister, David Cameron, said Putin must meet the conditions in the next month.
"If these things don't happen, then sectoral sanctions will follow," he said.
"The next month will be vital in judging if President Putin has taken these steps," said Cameron, who later met Putin in France.
Al Jazeera's James Bays, reporting from Brussels, said: "The G7 leader are talking here again about tougher sanctions on Russia. But they are talking about the same tougher sanctions they have been talking about for months now."
Border posts seized
Meanwhile, pro-Russian fighters are said to have taken control of all border posts in the eastern Ukrainian town of Luhansk.
Al Jazeera's David Chater, reporting from the town said that government forces had been "outgunned, outnumbered and overwhelmed" and had been cut off from their chain of command.
"This is humiliating for Ukraine," Chater said, adding that the eastern borders were now unguarded, allowing the flow of arms.
Ukrainian authorities have closed three checkpoints along the border with Russia after nightly assaults by separatists.
The authorities said three checkpoints - at Chervonopartyzansk, Dolzhansky and Chervona Mogyla - had been temporarily closed, and that the Russian side had been notified.

» Insiders believe about 30% of the WrestleMania 25 pay-per-view buys (total: 970,000) came from outside of the United States. WWE gets paid less for international buys than domestic buys.
» Based on information recently released by WWE, the approximate paid attendance for WrestleMania 25 earlier this year in Houston was 70,400, which would make it the third largest in the history of pro wrestling behind the record setting 1992 SummerSlam at Wembley Stadium with 78,927 paid and the 1987 WrestleMania 3 at the Pontiac Silverdome with 75,700 paid. WrestleMania 23 at Ford Field in Detroit had 66,670 paid.
» WWE's number of website visitors in the month of March was 13.5 million with each visitor spending an average of 22 minutes per visit. An average of 22 minutes per visit is pretty damn good. The website averaged 645 shop orders daily, down from 18% in March of 2008.
» A former member of the creative team defended Theodore Long after watching Vince McMahon put the SmackDown General Manager on probation in the storylines. The former writer felt that it would be a bad move for WWE to pull Long from television. "He makes his money on house shows," the former writer said. "He goes and mingles and gets the crowd worked up. He's a team player. I think they would be so poorly advised to make a switch in the management role."

Pressure is mounting in the US and Italy to keep California Cardinal Roger Mahony away from the conclave to elect the next pope because of his role shielding sexually abusive priests.
Amid the outcry, Mahony has made clear he is coming, and no one can force him to recuse himself.
A Vatican historian also said there was no precedent for a cardinal staying home because of personal scandal.
But the growing grass-roots campaign is an indication that ordinary Catholics are increasingly demanding a greater say in who is fit to elect their pope, and casts an ugly shadow over the upcoming papal election.
Conclaves always bring out the worst in cardinals' dirty laundry, with past sins and transgressions aired anew in the slow news days preceding the vote.
This time is no different - except that the revelations of Mahony's sins are so fresh and come on the tails of a recent round of sex abuse scandals in the US and Europe.
This week, the influential Italian Catholic affairs magazine Famiglia Cristiana asked its readers if the Los Angeles-based cardinal Mahony should participate in the conclave given the revelations. "Your opinion: Mahony in the conclave: Yes or No?" reads the online survey of one of Italy's most-read magazines.
The overwhelming majority among more than 350 replies has been a clear-cut "No."
The magazine is distributed free in Italian parishes each Sunday.
The fact that it initiated the poll is an indication that the Catholic establishment in Italy has itself questioned whether tarnished cardinals should be allowed to vote - a remarkable turn of events for a conservative Catholic country that has long kept quiet about priestly abuse and still is deferential to the church hierarchy in its backyard.
That initiative followed a petition by a group in the United States, Catholics United, demanding that Mahony recuse himself. So far 5,600 people have signed the petition, according to spokesman Chris Pumpelly.
"It's the right thing to do," Andrea León-Grossman, a Los Angeles member of Catholics United, said in a statement on the group's website.
"In the interests of the children who were raped in his diocese, he needs to keep out of the public eye. He has already been stripped of his ministry. If he's truly sorry for what has happened, he would show some humility and opt to stay home."
Mahony, however, has made clear he will vote. "Count-down to the papal conclave has begun. Your prayers needed that we elect the best pope for today and tomorrow's church," he tweeted earlier this week. He promised daily Twitter updates.
Cardinal Velasio De Paolis, one of the Vatican's top canon lawyers, told The Associated Press that barring any canonical impediments, Mahony has a right and duty to vote in the conclave.
At best, he said, someone could persuade him not to come, but De Paolis insisted he wasn't suggesting that someone should.
Bishop Charles Scicluna, the Vatican's former sex crimes prosecutor, said it was up to Mahony's conscience to decide whether or not to participate.
"It's not an easy situation for him," Scicluna was quoted as saying by Rome daily La Repubblica.
Last month, a court in Los Angeles ordered the release of thousands of pages of confidential personnel files of more than 120 priests accused of sex abuse.
The files show that Mahony and other top archdiocese officials manoeuvred behind the scenes to shield accused priests and protect the church from a growing scandal while keeping parishioners in the dark.
Mahony was stripped of his public and administrative duties last month by his successor at the largest Catholic diocese in the United States.
But the dressing-down by Archbishop Jose Gomez only affected Mahony's work in the archdiocese, not his role as a cardinal. Gomez has since urged prayers for Mahony as he enters the conclave.
Mahony has responded directly and indirectly to the outcry on his blog, writing about the many "humiliations" Jesus endured.
"Given all of the storms that have surrounded me and the archdiocese of Los Angeles recently, God's grace finally helped me to understand: I am not being called to serve Jesus in humility. Rather, I am being called to something deeper - to be humiliated, disgraced, and rebuffed by many," Mahony wrote.
He said in recent days he had been confronted by many angry people. "I could understand the depth of their anger and outrage - at me, at the Church, at about injustices that swirl around us," he wrote.
"Thanks to God's special grace, I simply stood there, asking God to bless and forgive them."
Mahony declined further comment Wednesday, according to the archdiocese spokesman Tod Tamburg.
Mahony is scheduled to be questioned under oath on Saturday as part of a clergy abuse lawsuit about how he handled a visiting Mexican priest who police believe molested 26 children in the Los Angeles archdiocese during a nine-month stay in 1987.
The Reverend Nicolas Aguilar Rivera fled to Mexico in 1988 after parents complained. He has since been defrocked but remains a fugitive, with warrants for his arrest in both the US and Mexico.
Historian Ambrogio Piazzoni, the vice prefect of the Vatican library, said there was no precedent for a cardinal staying away from a conclave because of personal scandal, though in the past some have been impeded either by illness or interference by governments.
Regardless, he said, any decision to stay away would have to be approved by the full College of Cardinals given that the main duty of a cardinal is to vote in a conclave.
"The thing that characterizes a cardinal is to be an elector of the pope," he told reporters.
Italian newspapers have been filled with profiles of the cardinals whose presence at the conclave would be an "embarrassment" to the Vatican.
They include Irish Cardinal Sean Brady, accused of covering up sex abuse; Belgian Cardinal Godfried Danneels, whose offices were searched in 2010 amid a crackdown on paedophile priests by Belgian police; and Cardinal Justin Rigali who retired as archbishop of Philadelphia in disgrace after a grand jury accused him of keeping credibly accused abusers on the job.
Dirty laundry was also aired in the run-up to the 2005 conclave that elected Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as pope.
Argentine Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, for example, was cited in a criminal complaint just days before the conclave alleging involvement in the 1976 kidnappings of two fellow Jesuits during Argentina's dark years of military dictatorship.
The cardinal's spokesman at the time called the allegation by a human rights lawyer "old slander."
According to the only published account of the 2005 secret balloting, Bergoglio came in second place.

Eric LeCompte, executive director of Jubilee USA Network.
While the Philippines struggles to rebuild after Typhoon Haiyan, the country is being forced to continue paying out billions of dollars in debt to the World Bank and other lenders. Haiyan, the strongest typhoon to ever hit land, affected more than 14 million people in 44 provinces in the central Philippines, killing 6,000, displacing more than four million, leaving nearly 1,800 missing, and damaging about one million homes. On Christmas Eve, the Philippines reached a grim milestone: $1 billion in debt payments since the typhoon hit. Some of those debts are from the corrupt and abusive regime of Ferdinand Marcos, which enjoyed the early backing of the Ronald Reagan administration. During their 20 years in power, the Marcoses embezzled $5 to $10 billion from their people, a debt Filipinos continue to carry today. To explain the debt and how the country is coping after the storm, we are joined by Eric LeCompte, executive director of Jubilee USA Network.
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: We turn now to the Philippines, where the holidays were observed with a mixture of gratitude and somberness, as the country continues to recover from Typhoon Haiyan, which reduced almost everything in its path to rubble two months ago. Haiyan, the strongest typhoon to ever hit land, affected more than 14 million people in 44 provinces in the central Philippines. It killed at least 6,000 people, displaced more than four million residents, and damaged about one million houses, leaving nearly 1,800 people missing.
On Saturday, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon visited Tacloban, the epicenter of the typhoon, and urged international community to scale up support for Philippines recovery and reconstruction efforts.
SECRETARY-GENERAL BAN KI-MOON: I was deeply moved and also inspired by my visit to Tacloban. People are working hard to recover. We must not allow this to be another forgotten crisis. I urge all donors to add to their already generous response so that we can help communities to build back better and safer.
AMY GOODMAN: That was U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. This week, the U.N. announced an appeal for $800 million in international humanitarian relief. So far, only 30 percent of the target has been met.
Amidst the ongoing crisis, some may be shocked to learn that the Philippines' debt repayments far overshadow all the Typhoon Haiyan relief assistance to date. On Christmas Eve, the Philippines reached a grim milestone: $1 billion in debt payments since the typhoon hit. Some of those debts are from the corrupt and abusive regime of dictator Ferdinand Marcos, which enjoyed the early backing of the Reagan administration. In the 1980s, the White House described Marcos as, quote, "an old friend and longtime ally." During their 20 years in power, the Marcoses embezzled $5 to $10 billion from their people, according to a joint U.N. and World Bank report. It's a debt Filipinos continue to carry today.
For more, we go to Washington, D.C., where we're joined by Eric LeCompte. He is the executive director of Jubilee USA Network.
Eric, welcome to Democracy Now! Talk about this debt and what this means, given how hard hit the Philippines is from the typhoon.
ERIC LECOMPTE: Well, I think, as you explained, the devastation is absolutely horrific on the ground. Six thousand people have died. There's been economic losses of over $15 billion. And there's a reality, as 10 to 12 typhoons continue to hit the country every year, they're unprepared for climate change and future catastrophic typhoons, which are expected to arrive and hit shore over the next 10 years. So when we're looking at the amount of aid so far, it's been absolutely incredible how countries around the world have delivered about $350 million in aid, $51 million from the U.S. government alone, but it's completely dwarfed by the debt payments that are continued to be made by the country of the Philippines. They're paying down over $60 billion in debt. This year alone, they will pay over $6.7 billion; since the typhoon hit, over a billion dollars. So, we see that the amount of debt is unsustainable. Over 20 percent of the income of the Philippines goes towards paying down the debt.
And what makes this whole situation even worse is that the roots of this debt are from the corrupt regime of Ferdinand Marcos. And, you know, Ferdinand Marcos, under his dictatorship in the Philippines, more than 3,000 people were killed; 35,000 people were tortured. You know, I was 10 years old when finally the nonviolent revolution unseated the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos. And I will never forget seeing the television images of Imelda Marcos's shoe collection of over 3,000 designer pairs of shoes. While the country was in poverty, while people were being tortured, this couple was embezzling between $5 and $10 billion. So, we have to understand that in the current context of what's happening in the Philippines, that there's no way the country can get back on its feet without dealing with this unsustainable debt, with its roots in the corrupt Marcos regime.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Well, Eric, your mention of the Marcos regime—I want to turn to an interview that Al Jazeera correspondent Veronica Pedrosa did with Imelda Marcos. This is an excerpt.
VERONICA PEDROSA: He enriched himself, didn't he?
IMELDA MARCOS: How would he? He was rich.
VERONICA PEDROSA: You were enriching yourselves.
IMELDA MARCOS: He was rich. He was rich when he and I got married. In fact, before he became president, he was number four. And you can see that in an interview in the Reader's Digest. He was number four in the payment of taxes.
VERONICA PEDROSA: But, Mrs. Marcos, isn't it true that $10 billion of the Philippine treasury money went missing?
IMELDA MARCOS: It's not true. It's not true, because then we—I should have been in jail already. I'll show you the documents.
VERONICA PEDROSA: Well, where is the money, though, madam? If you—it's OK, you can—yeah.
IMELDA MARCOS: We have not stolen any money.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: That was Imelda Marcos being interviewed by Veronica Pedrosa of Al Jazeera. I wanted to ask you, the Marcoses have been—were overthrown decades ago, and how is it possible that the debt is still being paid by the Philippine government?
ERIC LECOMPTE: Well, a big part of it is interest rates. So, you know, what we know is that the government, the dictatorship, took out more than $25 billion in loans, that we know of, that we're aware of, and that the principal of many of those loans have been paid. But what's remarkable is that the interest rates have grown to such amount that, you know, the loans have continued to grow. I think one of the problems that we're seeing—and this isn't a problem that's just endemic to the Philippines—but the reality of it is, is of this $60 billion of debt, we don't know completely who it's owed to, what the $60 billion paid for, what benefits happened from the $60 billion, and, you know, whether or not the government of the Philippines at any time, even recently, has sought approval of its people in order to transact and to be able to take loans.
AMY GOODMAN: Where was the embezzled money? Why can't it be found?
ERIC LECOMPTE: Well, you know, so—that's a U.N. and a World Bank report that say from—what their estimates—and their estimates range between $5 billion and $10 billion. I'm sure for many of the listeners of Democracy Now!, there's quite a difference between $5 billion and $10 billion. It's astounding that these are just projections. These are just estimates. You know, much of this money was hidden by the Marcos regime. And as the Marcoses fled the Philippines, they certainly took a lot of that money with them.
I think one of the issues that we're dealing with in the international financial system is also how our financial system supports corruption. Through the use of tax havens, through the use of secret bank accounts, many corrupt officials continue to be able to hide moneys around the world. And I think these are some of the problems that—you know, it's much bigger than just the Philippines, when we're counting debt right now in the trillions of dollars around the world, that the financial crisis was caused by high indebtedness, by speculation, and, you know, the international financial system still is not providing rules to deal with these problems.
And when we go back to the Philippines, you know, there still aren't even rules in place in the Philippines, like in many countries around the world, where a country's leader needs to seek approval from even their parliament or their congress in order to take out loans and spend that money.
AMY GOODMAN: So, Eric, can you just talk about what you're calling for?
ERIC LECOMPTE: So, you know, specifically in terms of the Philippines, we join our partners at Jubilee Asia-Pacific and the Freedom from Debt Coalition on the ground in the Philippines, and we're asking President Jim Kim of the World Bank to immediately have a moratorium on debt payments. The World Bank, as well as the Asian Development Bank, hold the majority of loans in the Philippines right now. So we want a moratorium on the debt.
The second part, which is critical, is there needs to be a public, independent audit. We need to know what the money was spent on, where the money went, how the money was approved, and where the money is now, and actually who all the money is loaned—is owed to. And I think these are critical things in regards to the Philippines.
More broadly, for us at Jubilee USA and our international partners, you know, we want to see debt audits take place around the world. We want to see the implementation of an international bankruptcy process to work out these unsustainable debts. And we want to see basic regulations for responsible lending and borrowing implemented in the international financial system.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And we just have about 20 seconds, and you said that the World Bank has most of the debt, but do you know any of the major U.S. banks that have a portion of the Philippine debt?
ERIC LECOMPTE: So, about 5 percent of the debt right now is either held by the U.S. government or by U.S. banks, again, going back to the Marcos regime. Without an audit, we don't know the exact breakdowns. So that's why an audit is so important right now.
AMY GOODMAN: Eric LeCompte, we want to thank you for being with us, executive director of Jubilee USA.

Patented Apr. 28, 1936 uNirEo STATES aosam TOOL FOR AFFIXING ELASTIC TUBULAR HANDGRIPS TO THE SHAFTS OF GOLF CLUBS Eric E. Hall, Chicago, Ill.
Application June 3, 1935, Serial No. 24,607
3 Claims. (01. 2988.2)
My present invention relates to an improved tool which'establishes a means for aflixing or placing an elastic tubular hand grip on the shafts of golf clubs, fishing rods, tennis rackets, and the like.
The object of this invention is to provide an improved, inexpensive and simple expedient for properly applying and afiixing an elastic tubular grip to the shaft of golf clubs or like equipment; and the subsequent placing of the grip on the club shaft where it is held in place and against accidental displacement due to its own resiliency.
A further object is to provide such a tool as one integral member-doing away with a plurality of independent or loose parts, which are apt to become lost or misplaced with the resultant rendering of the incomplete tool ineifective or inoperative.
A still further object is to provide means for making this assembly in a neat, workmanlike manner, so that the grip when applied by the laymen, will present the finished effect of the factory madeproduct.
Having the foregoing objects in view, and others as will be more specifically pointed out in the following specifications and claims, I have illustrated my invention in the accompanying drawings (two sheets), in which:
Fig. 1 is an elevation in perspective of the tool before it is inserted into the grip;
Fig. 2 is a like elevation, showing the starting of the assembly of the grip;
Fig. 3 shows the grip in place on the tool prior its expansion, the top of the grip being folded Fig. 4 shows the grip and tool expanded over the end of the shaft of the golf club;
Fig. 5 shows the top lap folded back onto the club shaft and the grip partially rolled up;
Fig. 6 shows the grip completely rolled up and off from the tool and onto the club shaft, prior to the removal of the tool and the subsequent rolling down of the grip over the club shaft; v
Fig. '7 shows the grip in place and ready for use;
Fig. 8 is an enlarged .detail of the tool only as above illustrated;
Fig. 9 is a like view of modified form of tool;
Fig. 10 is an enlarged section on line l0l0 of Fig. 8; and
Fig. 11 is an enlarged section on line lI-ll of Fig. 9.
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the respective views.
As before stated, this invention is specifically directed towards golf clubs, and for purposes of description I elect to describe my invention as it is applied to golf clubs, realizing however, that the methods and procedure are equally applicable to many other structures and equipment.
The tool consists primarily of a. circular ring or base 6, to which are affixed a plurality of resilient fingers i, preferably spaced equi-distant from one another; and as such, form as a unit, a singular mandrel, over which the grip, in the form of an elastic tube 8, is applied.
The fingers I may be aflixed to the ring 6 as shown at Figs. 8 and 10 and wherein the ring 6 has shoulders 6--a which are bent back and up and enclose the lower end of the fingers and crimp them in place, or as an alternate or modified design the fingers designated ID in Figs. 9 and 11 may be oifset as at l2 and pass through apertures l ll-a in the ring l3 and then down forming lugs M; the offset portion having a resilient tongue l5 formed therefrom, so that the free end thereof will engage the ring l3 as shown at Fig. 11 and thus limit the movement of the fingers III with relation to the ring l3.
The grip 8 is drawn down until the bottom edge registers with a mark on one of the fingers, the top of the tube preferably folded back or lapped as indicated at Fig. 3 and the grip is ready for assembly .to the club shaft.
The club shaft i5, is then passed up through the base or ring 6, and as the crown of the shaft passes upwards, the fingers of the mandrel are expanded with the resultant expansion of the grip. The crown of the shaft is carried on through and beyond the mandrel as shown at Fig. 4. The lap of the grip is unfolded up and against the club shaft at a point above the top or end of the mandrel, so as to contract directly upon the club shaft.
Starting from the bottom, the grip is next rolled upwards upon itself, past the upper ends of the fingers 1, and onto the club shaft as a roll and as shown at Fig. 6. Due to the elastic or contractile nature of the grip, it will remain rolled and in place. The mandrel, as a unit, is next dropped down the shaft, the grip unrolled downwards upon and over the shaft into its final position. The mandrel is then removed by passing upwards, over and off from the shaft.
I am aware that expansible mandrels have been employed prior to my invention. I, therefore, do not claim the same broadly; but what I do claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:-
1. An expansible mandrel for assembling an elastic covering on a hand grip comprising an annular-base member provided with an internal opening series'oi spaced resilient nngersfor said member; each of said fingers having me o! its ends lied to said member 2. An expansible mandrel for assembling an elastic covering on a hand grip comprising an annular base member provided with an internal opening, a series of spaced resilient fingers for said member, each of said fingers having one oi.
it's ends fixed to said member, each finger proiecting from the internal sm'iaeeot the member through said opening.
8. Anexpansible mandrel for-assembling aeovering on a hand gripor the like. comprising an annular base member having an internal opening,
a series oi spaced resilient flngers for said member, means for aiii'xing an end of each of said ringers to the internal surface of said annular base member, said means comprising an integral shoulder onjsaid member extending inwardly wiihin said opening and embracing said finger en mac 2:. BALL.

My interest for the UN started when I saw how their work was built on working within the different regions that needed their help, not only being situated in the country where the organisation was started but going to the field.
Working for the UN gives me great satisfaction because I've always been incredibly passionate about human rights, and the UN provides me with a great platform to follow this passion.
It is great to assess people's needs, find a service gap and plan our activities to fill such a gap. We work closely with the government, but we are an independent agency; therefore we have both complementarity and autonomy in decision making. This is the favourite part of my work.
As UNDP Country Director, I deal with activities related poverty reduction, sustainable environmental management, and accountable governance. I also work closely with many other UN agencies in the country, particularly since Rwanda is a One UN country, which means lots of UN inter-agency interaction.
