Aug. 5

A cave-in leaves 33 miners trapped 700 meters vertically in a small copper-and-gold mine near the northern Chilean city of Copiapo, 800 km, north of Santiago. The mine's owners, local private company Compañia Minera San Esteban Primera, notifies authorities several hours later, saying they first had to evaluate the situation.

Aug. 6

Mining Minister Laurence Golborne and the mine authorities pin their hopes on the possibility that the trapped miners have reached a shelter where

oxygen, water and food had been stored.

Aug. 7

Rescue workers, who began descending toward the shelter via a ventilation shaft on Aug. 6, are forced to abandon that route when a fresh cave-in

blocks the duct.

Aug. 8 Rescue workers begin

drilling bore-holes 12 cm. in diameter into the mine to try to locate the miners.

Aug. 11 Pinera sacks the head of

national mining regulator Sernageomin, and vows a major overhaul of the body, which monitors mine safety

President Sebastian Pinera cuts short his visit to Colombia and returns to Chile to be with the family members of the trapped miners at a

temporary camp set up outside the mine.

Aug. 22 Early in the day, a drill reaches

a depth of 688 meters and rescue workers hear tapping on the drill.

Early in the afternoon, Pinera announces that the miners had tied a note to the drill that says: "The 33 of us in the shelter are well."

Hours later, rescue workers capture the first video images of the miners, showing them to be in much better condition than expected.

Aug. 19 The farthest-along drill reaches the level in the mine where authorities presumed the miners to be, but does not hit the shelter or encounter any signs of the miners.

Aug. 23

Food, water and medicine are lowered to the miners, who were running low on supplies found in the rescue chamber.

Golborne and Andre Sougarret, head of the rescue drilling operation, said rescue of the miners will take 3-4 months, given the instability of the mine and the time needed to drill a new hole, about 66 cm. in diameter, to extract them.

The small hole is widened over the next month to prepare for their evacuation.Oct. 4 Golborne says the miners could be rescued in the second half of October.

Drug dealing in Mexicohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILJPxnPpXsk&feature=related

Everything started more than 100 years ago when Chinese people who came to live here (Mexico) started planting amapola to produce opium.

50 years ago, Culiacan, Sinaloa, became the producers of the best marihuana in the world.

Page 9: Top world news 2010 REGONALSCENARIOS

30 years ago, the Mexican “capos” started realizing that it would be better if they had the distribution and commercialization power that Colombians had. How and when did it all started? Do we need

foreign help? Should we legalize drugs? Is our country going to get out of this mess, or are the “Carteles” taking the complete power of Mexico?

These are some of the millions of questions that the war, because it is a war that our country is having against drug dealers, provoke.

France retirement reformWorkers will retire at age 62 (before 60) as government

project. The law will take effect in mid-October.

This project was promoted by the government of President Nicolas Sarkozy, despite opposition generated between the left parties and trade unions. There were 329 votes in favor and 233 deputies of the opposition left-wing and centrist traditionally allied with the government, voted against it.

This has aroused strong opposition among trade unions, which have called numerous general strikes to show their opposition.

Page 13: Top world news 2010 REGONALSCENARIOS

The Socialist Party (PS) announced that it will place the minimum retirement age within 60 years if they reached power.

The French Senate on Friday adopted a final delay of 60 to 62 the minimum age to retire, one of the key measures of the reform initiated by President Nicolas Sarkozy, four days before a new day of strikes and demonstrations

The Senate passed by 186 votes in favor and 153 against Article 5 of the draft pension reform, unchanged from the version adopted by the National Assembly (lower house) in September.

“This means that the article is finally adopted, unless the government decides to withdraw or the Senate to reject the bill as a whole” stated the socialist and communist parliamentary groups.

Page 14: Top world news 2010 REGONALSCENARIOS

Senators immediately began discussing another key means of reform: Article 6, concerning the postponement of the age to retire with a full pension from 65 to 67 years.

The government and its parliamentary majority had drawn the ire of the left and trade unions deciding priority review articles 5 and 6, that were approved before the new day of strikes and demonstrations called by unions for next Tuesday.

Denouncing the purpose of retirement at age 60, a measure introduced in 1982 by then President Francois Mitterrand, the French left-wing senators called for a strong participation in the protests.

Page 15: Top world news 2010 REGONALSCENARIOS

"The mobilization of 12 October and then they can still change things for the duration of the debate in the Senate could still take two weeks," said French Socialist group in

a statement.

The same Communist group expressed hope that "The law is far from being approved." Senators leftists hope now that the strike and demonstrations Oct. 12 requiring the

government to back Sarkozy.

On Saturday 2 October, during the fourth day of protests since early September, took to the streets between 900,000 and 3 million people, according to sources.

They had the backing of 71 percent of the French, according to a survey. The goal is October 12 "the greatest mass movement of workers as possible," the number two

of the CFDT union Marcel Grignard, in whose opinion "from September were probably five to six million people," which

came out to protest.

The unions also called for a day of demonstrations, this without a strike, on Saturday 16th October.

British Petroleum Oil SpillAn explosion and fire on a drilling rig on April

20, 2010.

17 workers were hurt and 11 are still missing.

The platform “Deepwater horizon” was in charge of the industry British Petroleum. This oil spill is a big ecologic disaster, it was a new threat for the environment.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had concluded that oil leaked at the rate of 5,000 barrels a day, not 1,000 as it had been estimated.

Page 17: Top world news 2010 REGONALSCENARIOS

They found three leaks

Part of the oil slick was only 16 miles offshore and closing in on the Mississippi River Delta, the marshlands at the southeastern tip of Louisiana where the river empties into the ocean.

The oil spill has reached more than 1.550 km2 and keeps expanding to the east zone.

Workers of British Petroleum are trying to stop the catastrophe. Submarines have been submerged over 1.5 km.

Page 18: Top world news 2010 REGONALSCENARIOS

The response team tried in vain to engage a device called a blowout preventer, a stack of hydraulically activated valves at the top of the well that is designed to seal off the well in the event of a sudden pressure release — a possible cause for the explosion on the rig.

This accident occured the day that all the world was celebrating “The day of the Earth”.

Some of the suggested ways to help were:

• Report Injured Wildlife and Oiled Beaches

• Volunteer• Donate• Buy Gulf Seafood• Write to Elected Leaders• Stop Using So Much Oil• Boycott BP
