Kenneth Clarke, the Chancellor, yesterday confidently predicted that there would be no more “salami slicing” of the Government’s European policy and that his assent to a single currency referendum pledge would be the last concession to the Euro-sceptics before the general election.Mr Clarke’s clear warning to the party’s Euro-sceptics came after the Cabinet agreed to promise in the Conservative manifesto that a Tory Cabinet would not enter a single currency in the next Parliament without putting it to the British people in a referendum.Malcolm Rifkind, the Foreign Secretary, yesterday announced the Cabinet’s long awaited decision to promise a referendum and confirmed that it would take place only if the Cabinet had already decided to join the European Monetary Union, that it would be put first to Parliament, and that if it happened Cabinet members would have to campaign for a yes vote or resign.Mr Clarke did not deny that he might have resigned had he not secured the conditions under which the referendum pledge was announced and took public comfort from the fact that the decision demonstrated the Government was still “contemplating” the possibility of going into the single currency in the next Parliament.While some Euro-sceptics immediately greeted the decision as meaning there was little or no chance of entering a single currency in that period, Mr Rifkind underlined Mr Clarke’s point by firmly repeating that there was no chance of the Government ruling out EMU membership in the next Parliament.And in a sign that a referendum campaign could start almost immediately, the all-party European Movement insisted they would win the arguments as they had done in the 1975 poll on whether Britain had been right to join the Community.At a hastily convened news conference the Movement declared: “If it’s right, we’ll fight.”Mr Clarke was unrepentant about his opposition to a referendum, but added: “I have not changed my well-known views on referenda.” He said Parliament had taken “more important decisions than this without them being referred to a referendum”. “If the EU in its arbitrary, unaccountable way forces our farmers to make such a cruel sacrifice to the European gods it will be remembered for many a long year,” he warned.. It should be removed,” he said.Former Cabinet minister John Biffen said the industry did not want another “politically motivated” slaughter scheme initiated by those in Europe who did not have British interests at heart. And Sir Geoffrey Johnson Smith, a member of the Tory 1922 committee executive, questioned the legality of the ban. “There is growing loss of confidence in the integrity of the ministers of the European Union,” he said.Arch-sceptic Nicholas Budgen, MP for Wolverhampton SW, railed against the “completely unnecessary slaughter” of healthy herds on family farms. “The Government and the Conservative Party believe very strongly that it is important that, in circumstances where a general election might not be able to resolve matters of this importance, that the electorate should be able to do so through a referendum.”Europhobia was given full rein as Douglas Hogg, Minister for Agriculture, made a statement on further measures to try and help the beef industry through the BSE crisis.The EU-imposed ban on British beef was not justified, Mr Hogg insisted “It is not based on sound scientific analysis It is disproportionate. “A simple majority would be the proper way of addressing the judgement of the electorate,” he told the Chingford MP.Robin Cook, Labour’s foreign affairs spokesman, asked if Mr Rifkind recalled Mr Major telling Parliament he was “not in favour of referendums”.He added: “When did the Prime Minister change his mind?”But Mr Rifkind was having nothing to do with old positions.
They would have no option but to resign,” he said at Question Time.Malcolm Rifkind, the Foreign Secretary, did not admit as much but said it was “crucially important” that the judgement of the electorate was respected.Mr Rifkind, who had to prepare a Cabinet paper on the referendum options, was firmer with Mr Duncan-Smith, rejecting his assertion that any referendum on a single currency would need a 60 per cent majority as it would be constitutional change. “It would be fatuous of [ministers] to then say they had changed their mind. Iain Duncan-Smith, one of the more cerebral sceptics, tried to raise the hurdle for the Euro to a 60 per cent majority while Sir Terence Higgins denounced the referendum idea as “incompatible with our system of parliamentary democracy”.
As most of the Tory party heaved a sigh of relief over the deal between the Prime Minister and his stubbornly anti-referendum Chancellor, Sir Terence, a former Treasury minister, warned that if the Cabinet campaigned for a single currency and lost, it would have to go. Tory backbenchers at opposite ends of the referendum debate quickly made plain that John Major’s compromise pledge of a plebiscite on a single currency has not ended the wrangling. After construction, the consortium, the Hospital Company, will own the buildings and lease them to the Trust.pounds 14bn target, page 22. The Norfolk and Norwich contract will run for 60 years: at the end of the term, the NHS trust has the option of taking the hospital into its ownership.
The NHS Trust will employ the staff and there can be no change to the facilities without specific agreement of the Trust.At the Swindon hospital, the contract will run for 25 years with an option to extend it for 15 years. We think they are using the private finance initiative to drive the private sector into the NHS.”The contracts are for the pounds 170m Norfolk and Norwich hospital, providing 700 beds, to replace two hospitals in Norwich, by a consortium involving John Laing Construction; and a pounds 90m rebuilding project for 520 beds at the Princess Margaret Hospital , Swindon, by a consortium led by Tarmac with United Medical Enterprises.The contracts for the hospitals have yet to be signed, and Whitehall officials denied the consortia were waiting for the passage of a Bill being rushed through Parliament to give the Health Secretary, Stephen Dorrell, power to take over debts from hospital trusts.The Bill was needed because some private sector companies had been anxious to ensure that the Government would take on the debts, in the unlikely event that any NHS trusts went bankrupt, or were wound up.If Labour win the next election, they will be bound by the contracts and will have to face running the NHS with privately-financed hospitals.Ms Harman said the contracts were “shrouded in secrecy” and needed to be opened to public accountability. The consortiums will own the buildings at the end of the contracts, but NHS trusts may lease them.The hospitals will be privately built, but run by the NHS for NHS patients. There will be private patients units and the private companies will provide support services, including cleaning and maintenance.Harriet Harman, Labour’s health spokeswoman, said: “These are major departures for the NHS. The two deals were seen by ministers as ground-breaking investment in public service capital projects by private companies, which may release millions of pounds for NHS hospitals in the future.But Labour warned it could be the “thin end of the wedge” for private enterprise in the health service, a charge denied by Health ministers.

The country’s agriculture-driven economy shrank 2.9 percentin the first quarter compared with the fourth quarter of 2008as a severe drought compounded the impact of a global economicdownturn. This marked the first contraction versus the previousquarter since the fourth quarter of 2002, government datashowed.

But Dr Shamas, senior lecturer in applied linguistics, is no government hack. Indeed, he is not a Baathist but a member of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) whose nationalist – as opposed to pan-Arab – ambitions stretch to a Greater Syria that would include Cyprus as well as Lebanon, Palestine and modern-day Israel. Like many SSNP adherents, he is a Christian.
His 6,000 students have no prohibitions on their reading: King Lear, Hamlet, Twelfth Night and Macbeth are on the English department’s syllabus this year, even though the latter might suggest the inevitable downfall of more than one Middle East potentate. Dr Shamas reports the arrival of the first computer in the English department and the appointment of the first departmental secretary with a masters degree in educational studies.Because of lack of funds – and the lack of signed copyright agreements with Syria – foreign books are photocopied and bound in the university library And academic life is freer than before.
“In 1971, people who applied to be teaching assistants had to be members of the [ruling] Baath party or had to have especially high marks in their subject. It’s not in the regulations that you now have to be a Baathist.”Dr Shamas is no moderate when it comes to Israel. The SSNP supported Syrian military intervention in Lebanon in 1976, regarding the operation as a form of resistance to Israel. A publishing company owned by President Assad’s minister of defence, Mustapha Tlass, printed The Rise of Nations, the most important work by the SSNP’s Christian founder, Antoine Saad.”Israel was implanted here as a colonial extension,” Dr Shamas says “The Americans haven’t changed an inch from their position.
And Israel will not stop its aggression unless it is faced with reasonable power. We don’t believe in the existence of Israel at all.” Which is not exactly the policy of the Baath, whose leadership has been – at least until the Likud election victory in Israel – deeply involved in the “peace process”.Yet it’s not difficult to see why folk like Dr Shamas feel free to speak their minds on subjects over which most Syrians would guard their tongues. Born into a farmer’s family at Kafrun, a mixed village of Christians and Alawites – the community from which the president comes – Dr Shamas agrees that the question of a succession to Hafez el-Assad is a matter that concerns all his countrymen.”Every rational citizen in this country should be cautious and a little bit afraid of the consequences of the president passing away one day,” he says. “Personally, I hope that the son [Bashar] takes over.” President Assad’s favourite son Basil died in a car accident in 1994.Syria’s enemies talk of chaos when President Assad dies, suggesting – some might say encouraging – the idea of a conflict between Alawites and the majority Sunni community Dr Shamas ridicules the idea. “President Assad is a very unique man, a very bright man, the only one who was prepared to stand against the regional leadership of the Baath party in the 1960s [which led to Assad's bloodless coup or 'corrective movement' in 1970].”I’m more optimistic than apprehensive.
Letterman confessed he had sex with staffers and was targeted by extortionist.
The Red Wings throughout the season have been a deadly opponent when they score first and tonight it showed. Dallas would tie the game on a power play goal by Stephane Robidas at 10:41. The Red Wings would take the lead on a Henrik Zetterberg power play goal at 15:13. Before the final buzzer of the first period, the Stars Jere Lehtinen would leave the ice with an injury.
News of his injury is sure to come out either late tonight or tomorrow. The second period was purely a physical slugfest. The Red Wings took three straight penalties: Zetterberg – Tripping, Chelios – Holding and Stuart – Tripping. The Stars would then try to match this with three straight sits in the box: Richards – Holding, Marty Turco – Slashing (served by Steve Ott) and Modano – Cross Checking. The Red Wings would then finish the period on two straight: Holmstrom for diving and Chelios for high sticking. The Stars finally get frustrated with themselves, their opponents, and the score in the third period. The Stars would take the 5 penalties in the third with the Wings recording none. Matt Niskanen would go at 8:43 for interference and then all hell would break loose. At 19:42, Brenden Morrow would visit the sin bin for holding followed by a Steve Ott roughing and misconduct at 19:55.
Toby Petersen would serve the two minute roughing in place of Ott. At the final buzzer, Mike Ribeiro would show his dislike for the men in red with a match penalty. As the dust settled on Game 2, the Stars again found themselves on the losing end. Until frustration and anger had set in, they played a much disciplined game. Detroit outshot Dallas 34-18.
