Kneeling before them in the dust of a northern Myanmar city, Sister Ann Rose Nu Tawng begged a group of heavily armed police officers to spare "the children" and take her life instead.

The image of the Catholic nun in a simple white habit, her hands spread, pleading with the forces of the country's new junta as they prepared to crack down on a protest, has gone viral and won her praise in the majority-Buddhist country.

"I knelt down... begging them not to shoot and torture the children, but to shoot me and kill me instead," she told AFP on Tuesday.

Her act of bravery in the city of Myitkyina on Monday came as Myanmar struggles with the chaotic aftermath of the military's February 1 ouster of civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

As protests demanding the return of democracy have rolled on, the junta has steadily escalated its use of force, using tear gas, water cannon, rubber bullets, and live rounds.

Protesters took to the streets of Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin state, on Monday wearing hard hats and carrying homemade shields.

As police started massing around them, Sister Ann Rose Nu Tawng and two other nuns pleaded with them to leave.

"The police were chasing to arrest them and I was worried for the children," she said.

It was at that point that the 45-year-old nun fell to her knees.

Moments later, as she was begging for restraint, the police started firing into the crowd of protesters behind her.

"The children panicked and ran to the front... I couldn't do anything but I was praying for God to save and help the children," she said.

First she saw a man shot in the head fall dead in front of her -- then she felt the sting of tear gas.

"I felt like the world was crashing," she said.

"I'm very sad it happened as I was begging them."

A local rescue team confirmed to AFP that two men were shot dead on the spot during Monday's clash, though it did not confirm whether live rounds or rubber bullets were used.

On Tuesday, one of the deceased, Zin Min Htet, was laid in a glass casket and transported on a golden hearse covered in white and red flowers.

Mourners raised three fingers in a symbol of resistance, as a musical ensemble of brass instrument players, drummers and a bagpiper in crisp white uniforms led the funeral procession.

- 'All Myanmar is grieving' -

Kachin, Myanmar's northernmost state, is home to the Kachin ethnic group, and the site of a years-long conflict between ethnic armed groups and the military.

Tens of thousands have fled their homes to displacement camps across the state -- and among the organisations aiding them have been Christian groups.

Monday was not Sister Ann Rose Nu Tawng's first encounter with the security forces -- on February 28 she made a similar plea for mercy, walking slowly towards police in riot gear, getting on her knees and pleading for them to stop.

"I have thought myself dead already since February 28," she said of the day she made the decision to stand up to the armed police.

On Monday, she was joined by her fellow sisters and the local bishop, who surrounded her as she pleaded for mercy for the protesters.

"We were there to protect our sister and our people because she had her life at risk," Sister Mary John Paul told AFP.

The city has seen frequent crackdowns from authorities since the coup, including a violent dispersal of peaceful teachers last month that sent several into hiding.

So far, more than 60 people have been killed in anti-coup demonstrations around the country, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners monitoring group.

Fear runs deep for Sister Ann Rose Nu Tawng, but she said she must be brave and will continue to stand up for "the children".

"I can't stand and watch without doing anything, seeing what's happening in front of my eyes while all Myanmar is grieving," she said.

Text by:NEWS WIRES


French President Emmanuel Macron announced a decision Tuesday to speed up the declassification of secret documents related to Algeria’s 1954-62 war of independence from France.

The measure comes amid a series of steps taken by Macron to reconcile France with its colonial past and address its brutal history with Algeria, which had been under French rule for 132 years until its independence in 1962.

The French presidency said in a statement that archive services will now be allowed to use a new procedure to declassify documents from 1970 and earlier that were previously being held secret for national security purposes. This includes archives related to Algeria War, the statement said.

Under French laws, almost all archives of the French state, including on defense and security issues, should be made available to the public after 50 years except information that could compromise some people's security. Yet a complex and long request process was preventing researchers and academics from working on these archives.

The new procedure will “significantly reduce the delay,” the French presidency said.

Broadening the opening of archives on the war was part of Macron’s commitments to reckon with France’s colonial-era wrongs in Algeria.

In 2018, Macron formally recognized the responsibility of the French state in the 1957 death of a dissident in Algeria, Maurice Audin, admitting for the first time the French military’s use of systematic torture during the war.

Last week, Macron met with four grandchildren of an Algerian independence fighter to tell them that Ali Boumendjel had been tortured and killed by French soldiers in 1957.

Macron also wants to honor Gisele Halimi, a French feminist who supported Algeria’s independence and denounced the use of torture by the French military during the war. He hopes to have her reburied at the Pantheon monument in Paris, a resting place for some of France’s most distinguished citizens.

Macron also plans to attend three commemoration ceremonies by next year, which will mark the 60th anniversary of the end of Algeria's war for independence.

French nuclear tests infected 'almost entire Polynesian population': report

The report highlights the health impact of French nuclear tests on local populations - AFP

Paris (AFP)

France concealed the levels of radioactivity that French Polynesia was exposed to during French nuclear tests in the Pacific from 1966-1996, with almost the "entire population" of the overseas territory infected, a report said on Tuesday.

Online investigation site Disclose said it had over two years analysed some 2,000 pages of French military documents declassified in 2013 by the defence ministry concerning nuclear tests on the archipelago.

It worked alongside the British modelling and documentation firm Interprt as well as the Science and global security programme of the University of Princeton in the United States, it said.

For the Centaur test carried out in July 1974, "according to our calculations, based on a scientific reassessment of the doses received, approximately 110,000 people were infected, almost the entire Polynesian population at the time," it said.

Using the modelling of toxic clouds to back up the findings, Disclose said it also showed how "French authorities have concealed the true impact of nuclear testing on the health of Polynesians for more than 50 years."

It said the investigation was able to reassess the thyroid exposure to radioactive doses of the inhabitants of the Gambier Islands, Tureia and Tahiti during the six nuclear tests considered to be the most contaminating in the history of French tests in the Pacific.

"Our estimates are between two and 10 times higher than those made by the French Atomic Energy Commission in 2006," Disclose said.

Disclose said its interpretation of existing data was different to that of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA).

For example, for an aerial nuclear test called Aldebaran carried out in 1966 on the Mururoa atoll, CEA scientists "considered that the local population only drank riverwater but not rainwater".

However, many inhabitants of this archipelago drank rainwater, according to the investigation.

It added the examination of data also showed that CEA estimates of radioactive soil deposits were under-estimated by more than 40 percent.

This CEA study served as the reference for the Compensation Committee for Victims of Nuclear Tests (CIVEN) for studying the files of victims of nuclear tests.

Up until now only 63 Polynesian civilians, excluding soldiers and contractors, have received compensation, according to the investigative media.

The Crazy Story of the 1946 Bikini Atoll Nuclear Tests

They were the first time that a nuclear weapon had been deployed since the 1945 attacks on Japan.

Operation Crossroads, which had its first big event–the dropping of a nuclear bomb–on July 1, 1946, was just the beginning of the nuclear testing that Bikini Atoll would be subjected to. When the first bomb of the tests dropped, it was the first time since the 1945 attacks on Japan that a nuclear weapon had been deployed. Here are three things you might not know about the infamous tests:

The Bikini’s Inventor Guessed How Much It Would Horrify the Public

The test subjects were ghost ships full of animals

The goal of the tests was to see what happened to naval warships when a nuclear weapon went off, writes the Atomic Heritage Foundation. More than 42,000 people–including a crew of Smithsonian Institution scientists, as well as reporters and United Nations representatives, according to Alex Wellerstein for The New Yorker–were involved in observing the nuclear tests, but the humans were, of course, not the test subjects.

Instead, “some of the ships were loaded with live animals, such as pigs and rats, to study the effects of the nuclear blast and radioactive fallout on animals,” writes the foundation. In total, more than 90 vessels, not all carrying live cargo, were placed in the target area of the bomb, which was named Gilda–after Rita Hayworth’s character in the eponymous film.

The gathered scientists included fish scientist Leonard P. Schultz, who was then the curator of ichthyology for the National Museum of Natural History. Although he was given safety goggles, writes the museum, “he was doubtful whether the goggles would protect him.” So, in true scientific fashion, “he covered one eye and observed the explosion with the other.” His eyes were fine, and the effects that he felt included “a slight warmth” on his face and hearing a boom about two minutes after the flash.

Schultz and his colleagues were there to collect species and document the Atoll before and after the tests. They collected numerous specimens including sea and land creatures, writes the museum, which remain in the museum’s collections today. “The Smithsonian’s collections document the extent to which the diversity of marine life was affected by the atomic blasts,” writes the museum, “providing researchers who continue to ­study the health of the ecosystem with a means to compare species extant today with those collected before the tests.”

The first bomb missed its target

That reduced the damage done to the ghost ships. “The weapon exploded almost directly above the Navy’s data-gathering equipment, sinking one of its instrument ships, and a signal that was meant to trigger dozens of cameras was sent ten seconds too late,” Wellerstein writes.

It started a tradition of nuclear testing in this vulnerable place

“The nuclear arms race between the US and Soviet Union displaced 167 Marshallese as refugees in their own country,” writes Sarah Emerson for Motherboard. After the first 1946 tests, the U.S. government continued to use the area around Bikini Atoll and the Marshall Islands for nuclear testing, writes Erin Blakemore for Smithsonian.com, conducting 67 nuclear tests in total. 23 of those tests were conducted at Bikini Atoll specifically, including one 1954 test of the largest nuclear device the U.S. ever exploded.

The Marshallese displaced by the testing have not been able to go back to their poisoned homes. Today, it’s hard to know when the Atoll will ever be safe to return to, writes Blakemore, although the Marshall Islands overall are becoming less radioactive.

And it all started in 1946.

South Korea remembers 'comfort women' on International Women's Day

March 8 (UPI) -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in observed International Women's Day with a statement that included a reference to former Korean "comfort women" forced to serve in Japanese wartime brothels, as the two Koreas observed the U.N.-designated day.

Moon, who promised reform before assuming office in 2017, said Monday he was "thinking about modern Korean history in which women, including the now elderly comfort women victims, had harder lives."

"I have respect for all women who worked resolutely to raise their status," Moon said.

The issue of comfort women systemically raped in Japanese military outposts has dogged relations between Seoul and Tokyo. Moon has called for better relations with Japan, but recent controversies, including an article from a Harvard Law professor, have reignited outrage in South Korea.

Moon's statement also addressed persistent gender inequalities in the country, which has consistently received relatively low marks for gender equality by the World Economic Forum.

"Korea is at an embarrassingly low level in this field," Moon said.

Moon's critical evaluation of the status of women in South Korea contrasted with a North Korean statement on the global day of observance.

Korean Workers' Party newspaper Rodong Sinmun urged North Korean women to "fulfill their revolutionary duty" as would-be "inheritors of a proud tradition of patriotic devotion."

"Only when women actively fight for the country's prosperity can the whole society become full of vitality and greater results can be achieved in the construction of socialism," the Rodong said in an article that did not address the condition of women in North Korea.

Former North Korean diplomat Thae Yong-ho said on Facebook on Monday International Women's Day is a day when men offer presents to North Korean women.

Thae, now a lawmaker in the South, also said he had "forgotten" about International Women's Day after "eating the meal my wife prepared and wore the clothes she pressed" before heading to work.

In North Korea "International Women's Day is a day when men try to make a good impression on female colleagues," Thae said.

Fireball meteor streaks across night sky over UK

‘Incredibly rare’ meteorite recovered after Gloucestershire fireball believed to be first of its kind in UK


Extra-terrestrial rock could provide answers about early history of Solar System and what planets are made from

Shweta Sharma@Ss22Shweta
3/9/2021


The first meteorite rocks have been recovered in Gloucestershire after they dropped to the ground from the dazzling fireball that was sighted over the UK and northern Europe at the end of last month.

The black space rocks, the largest piece of which weighs nearly 300g and crashed down on a driveway in the Cotswolds town of Winchcombe, have been taken to the Natural History Museum in London for further study.


Scientists are particularly excited because the rock, likely to become known as the Winchcombe Meteorite, is made of carbonaceous chondrite, a mixture of minerals and organic compounds including amino acids – the ingredients for life itself.


While it is three decades since the last meteorite was recovered from UK soil, never before has this kind of rock been found in Britain. It is believed that only 51 carbonaceous chondrite meteorites have ever been found and identified across the world.


The rock, along with more fragments recovered from nearby areas, was located after scientists retraced the flight path of the fireball that ripped into the Earth’s atmosphere with a sonic boom that was heard from Ireland to the Netherlands on Sunday 28 February.

Dr Ashley King, a researcher at the Natural History Museum, said it is “exciting for us because more this type of meteorite is incredibly rare but holds important clues about our origins”.

The meteorite arrived at the museum in remarkably good condition, the scientists said, comparing it to the quality of samples brought back from space missions.

“For somebody who didn’t really have an idea what it actually was, the finder did a fantastic job in collecting it,” he said. “He bagged most of it up really quickly on Monday morning, perhaps less than 12 hours after the actual event. He then kept finding bits in his garden over the next few days.”

Experts said that the meteorite could provide unique information about the origins of the Solar System some 4.6 billion years ago, as well as where water and the building blocks of life were first formed.

“Meteorites like this are relics from the early Solar System, which means they can tell us what the planets are made of,” said Professor Sara Russell. “But we also we think that meteorites like this may have brought water to the Earth, providing the planet with its oceans.”

Shortly after the meteor fell to Earth, the UK Fireball Alliance released imagery and maps charting its likely path and saying objects would most likely be found on the ground in and around Cheltenham. At the same time, the alliance advised interested members of the public not to breach coronavirus lockdown measures in order to go looking for space rocks.

• Footage of the fireball from UK Meteor Observation Network

Scientists have recovered fragments of an extremely rare meteorite, that has never been seen before in the UK, in the countryside in Winchcombe.

The meteorite fell from the fireball that lit up the sky over the UK and northern Europe last month.

It is made from carbonaceous chondrite which has been known to contain natural ingredients, organics and amino acids, which are needed for life.

This fragment of space rock will now be the focus of an unprecedented research effort providing answers to questions about the early history of the solar system and life on Earth.

Footage of the fireball from people watching and UK Fireball Alliance camera networks helped locate the meteorite and figure out where it came from.

Almost 300g of the rare meteorite survived its fiery journey as it travelled 14km per second before hitting the Earth's atmosphere and landing on a drive in Gloucestershire.

local area after it was spotted on February 28.

Experts say the meteorite was found in such a good condition, and so quickly after its fall, which is quite unusual compared to the samples brought back from space missions.

Dr Ashley King, from the Natural History Museum, was among the first on the scene when the meteorite was discovered on Wednesday 3 March and has been advising on the handling and care of it since.

He said: "Nearly all meteorites come to us from asteroids, the leftover building blocks of the solar system that can tell us how planets like the Earth formed.

"The opportunity to be one of the first people to see and study a meteorite that was recovered almost immediately after falling is a dream come true."

Dr Richard Greenwood, research fellow in planetary sciences at the Open University was the first scientist to identify and advise on the meteorite.

He said: "I was in shock when I saw it and immediately knew it was a rare meteorite and a totally unique event.

"It's emotional being the first one to confirm to the people standing in front of you that the thud they heard on their driveway overnight is in fact the real thing."

A team of specialist scientists from across the UK have been searching the rest of the predicted fall area for more fragments including colleagues from The University of Plymouth.

There are approximately 65,000 known meteorites on Earth. Only 1,206 have been witnessed to fall and of these, only 51 are carbonaceous chondrites.

Researchers say it is the first known carbonaceous chondrite to have been found in the UK, and the first meteorite recovered in the UK in 30 years.

A fireball zoomed across the sky on Sunday, according to eyewitnesses in the northeastern United States and parts of Canada.

The American Meteor Society (AMS) said on Facebook it had received more than 100 reports of a fireball being seen over Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and the Canadian province of Québec at around 5:38 p.m. ET on March 7.

NASA Meteor Watch said it had also received reports of the fireball, with analysis showing that the meteor occurred over northern Vermont, first appearing at an altitude of 52 miles above Mount Mansfield State Forest in the north of the state.

The meteor moved northeast at around 47,000 miles per hour, traveling 33 miles through the Earth's upper atmosphere before burning up 33 miles above Beach Hill in Orleans County, Vermont.

NASA said Meteor Watch hoped to refine the trajectory of the meteor as it received more reports from the public.

Fireball is another term for a very bright meteor. Usually, they are brighter than magnitude -4, which is around the same for the planet Venus as seen in the morning or evening sky, according to the AMS.

Meteors, colloquially known as shooting stars, are the streaks of light that we see in the sky when space rocks—asteroids or meteoroids—enter the Earth's atmosphere.

Some eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud boom in addition to seeing the meteor, which was visible for just a few seconds.

One Facebook user, Werner Bartlau, said in reply to the NASA Meteor Watch post: "I heard the rumble in North Cambridge [Massachusetts], thought it might be the F35s going over again—which a half dozen, or more did this morning. Didn't think anything of it, other than it didn't last long."

Another Facebook user, CJ Hudson, had a similar experience. He said: "We heard a sonic boom followed by a dwindling rumble come from north by north east from here in the north east corner of Bristol [Connecticut]. I thought it sounded a little abnormal."

Another eyewitness, Shannon Lemley-Willis, in Johnson, Vermont, said her kids were playing outside when the fireball passed overhead, with her children describing the noise as "big trucks crashing."

Meanwhile, eyewitness Loretta King, who was in St. Albans, Vermont, at the time, said she was in her car and saw the bright yellowish glow of what she thought was a "missile in the sky," describing the sight as "amazing."

Some cameras even managed to capture footage of the fireball. For example, Twitter user Jeremy LaClair spotted the meteor in footage captured by a webcam at Burlington International Airport.

For anyone who was wondering about the big boom / meteor earlier today in #btv #vermont , I dug through some webcam footage and found this on the WCAX / BTV Airport webcam- watch the upper left. pic.twitter.com/oyVLSoVahP  Jeremy LaClair (@JeremyLaclair) March 8, 20

UK NHS REDESIGN POST PANDEMIC

‘If you are not at the table, you are likely to be on the menu’

SERVICE DESIGN

A vision for how integrated care system reform can lead to a more democratic, equitable and human health and care system, by Charlotte Augst and Alex Fox.

Which “place” do you live in? Our hunch is you will know the answer to this question. Charlotte’s answer would be “Lambeth”, Alex’s, “Leeds”. Which integrated care “system” do you live in? Most people wouldn’t have a clue. Is South East London a system? Who knew Leeds, Harrogate and Calderdale are all part of one ICS?



Charlotte Augst



Alex Fox

The ICSs are intended to do more than join up existing health, care and council bureaucracies. They aim to get services working together to align a huge range of services and organisations with what people actually care about. This means doing more than convening different groups of system leaders. It means co-designing the new way of working with two key groups of people: those who make most use of health and care services, and those who are most often excluded from them.

The first rule of accountability is that you know who is in charge. So if ICSs are to deliver what people actually care about, how can we empower people and communities to hold “a system” to account, when they don’t know it exists? Only by being bold.

If communities and their organisations aren’t at the table, they will not be able to ensure that system priorities are aligned with what people actually care about, that behaviour and services that actually enhance people’s lives are incentivised, measured and funded.The white paper highlights the duty to collaborate for providers, NHS boards and partnerships. But the bill needs to be much bolder in mandating the duty to co-design with local people at three different scales: the ICS region; the “place”: a city, county or borough where people exercise their democratic decision-making; and the neighbourhood which people would recognise as “where I live”.


The ICS is where this work needs to be challenged and supported. Where communities, their organisations, and patients or service users can ask questions about quality and equality

The right locus to understand how to convince a particular community on your patch to attend a vaccine centre is probably the neighbourhood. But the primary care network needs to have a relationship with a primary school’s PTA or a ward councillor’s community charity, to find a credible way of bridging into communities at risk of exclusion. The place is the right place to commission, to define need, to plan for it, in partnership with your local, place based, community specific or infrastructure charities.

The ICS is where this work needs to be challenged and supported. Where communities, their organisations, and patients or service users can ask questions about quality, and equality and about the need for a more strategic understanding of how the ecosystem of statutory and voluntary provision, of formal and informal insight, of NHS data sets and community feedback actually is working. And particularly how it is working for those people and communities at the wrong end of the inverse care law.

Fatima Khan-Shah, of the West Yorkshire and Harrogate ICS, describes how a learning disability champions’ forum supported by a commissioned VCSE organisation started in one area and is now spreading across the region with the ICS’s backing. Action which starts with one place or specific community, but that can be built into more strategic change, is the hallmark of the ICS’s reputation for successful change.

As always, true partnership, including with communities, cannot work where the NHS keeps getting pulled into vertical relationships with its national centre. At the heart of effective partnerships is a commitment to make yourself accountable to your partners – horizontally. So we are excited by the opportunity for all the organisations and partners of ICSs, places and neighbourhoods to get planning, designing and delivering with communities. We can’t leave this commitment to the “nice to have” pile of things this Bill won’t address explicitly. Either this Bill will shift the dial towards greater community and place-based ownership of health and care services, or it will risk getting stuck with the misconception that restructuring NHS bodies delivers different outcomes.

As always, true partnership, including with communities, cannot work where the NHS keeps getting pulled into vertical relationships with its national centre

To focus ICSs and partnership boards on community accountability, health and wellbeing, the legislation could place local authorities and the VCSE, rather than the NHS, at the helm. Or ICSs could be placed under clearer duties to demonstrate they have a full picture of local inequalities which is co-owned by NHS, councils and communities, and to demonstrate progress in tackling those inequalities. Either way, we must see a clearer commitment in both legislation and any subsequent guidance.

The health and care system, and local government, are entering yet another difficult year of growing and urgent need, and a limited capacity to ensure the needs are met, equitably and in person centred ways. New legislation inevitably brings distraction and disruption which can only be justified if the outcome is a health and care system fit for the future: one that is democratic, equitable and human.
