Peuter bevrijd uit bloedhete auto
Een anderhalf jaar oud kindje is zaterdag
in Assen door drie oplettende mensen uit een bloedhete auto bevrijd. Het slachtoffertje

Verscherpt toezicht van
Arbeidsinspectie in Eemshaven
De Arbeidsinspectie oefent sinds een paar
weken verscherpt toezicht uit op de bouwplaats in de Eemshaven. De Eemshaven, waar twee
energiecentrales worden gebouwd, is de grootste bouwput van Nederland. Er werken momenteel
ruim duizend mensen en dit worden er twee keer zoveel. Volgens de Arbeidsinspectie
gebeuren er opvallend veel ongelukken op de bouwplaats. Vorige week nog kwam een man om
het leven en verloor zijn collega een been. De Arbeidsinspectie heeft daarom besloten om
extra te controleren. Normaal wordt een bouwplaats eens per maand bezocht, maar de
Eemshaven krijgt iedere week een controleur op bezoek.

Ditch the Buck! Dollar demise 'a
matter of months'
A report by the United Nations says the
American dollar should be ditched as the main global reserve currency. It said that the
global financial meltdown has exposed systematic weaknesses, one of which is the reliance
on the greenback. It also found that developing countries have been hit by the dollar's
loss of value in recent years. A number of states, including Russia and China, have
repeatedly called for a new reserve currency system. The UN has now suggested using a
basket of currencies for this purpose. London-based markets strategist Nick Parsons
believes it's only a matter of months before the dollar will start to go down.
CIA analyst: "New KGB rats out
its own"
As the world has been gripped by the
Russian spy ring that was busted in the United States, there are still looming questions
about the validity of this story. People have compared some of the stories that are coming
out from the Justice Department to an old spy novel from the Cold War era. Ray McGovern
says that the new KGB was too worried that the alleged spies were making too good of a
home in America and called them out.
