Exceeding this norm creates discomfort for the indigenous population," Postavnin was quoted as saying by the Vremya Novostei daily. President Vladimir Putin ordered his Cabinet last month to take steps to decrease the employment of foreign workers at Russian markets, alleging they were crowding out native Russian producers and retailers.

Security and Safety" in International Exhibition and Business Center "Siberia". The lessons are being given by experts of the Ministry for Emergencies, fire service and police for Krasnoyarsk schoolchildren. Firemen, policemen and rescuers taught children to use gas masks, radio stations and fire extinguishers. The lessons are being held in the form of games and competitions. Children are taught behavior rules in transport, on the water and first medical aid. They are also shown modern samples of guns and special equipment of rescuers. According to Dmitry Kudryavtsev, the chief of Krasnoyarsk Territory directorate of Ministry for Emergencies , said such lessons are aimed at forming interest of children to the problems of safety and rules of behavior in emergencies. "Today a safety day for schoolchildren is being held at the exhibition "Communication. Security and Safety". We have 10 stands, without taking into consideration rescuing machinery, which is exhibited at the open ground. I see the children are pleased. I believe such lessons help to bring, first of all, the feeling of responsibility in children and teach them skills of safe way of life. Certainly, we will not be able to teach all the rules of fire safety, safe behavior on water etc for one day. But if the children know there is such a problem, they will cope with this task themselves," he said. As KNews reported earlier, commercial and state enterprises and units, including Krasnoyarsk Territory Chief Directorate for Internal Affairs, Ministry for Emergencies, fire service and transport police are participating in the exhibition "Communication. Security and Safety". The exponents exhibit new service and systems necessary to ensure safety, security, rescuing and communication.2006-11-15T12:13+0100NewslabenNewslab-a5c5946735f0e79d54e6fc0f1df66665TransportENVWaterENV20061115121300http://news.com.au/story/0,23599,20764923-1702,00.htmlAUSTRALIA will probably have to introduce new measures to meet its Kyoto target on greenhouse gas emissions, Environment Minister Ian Campbell has revealed. 9:24pm (AEDT)2006-11-15T12:10+0100NEWScomAUenNEWScomAU-b3613a6c9a28ad478d36e29a86967e65ClimateChangeEnergyKofiAnnanEnvironment20061115121000http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-13552242,00.htmlPremature babies born at only 22 weeks or earlier should not be routinely resuscitated, a new report says.

The new gym will be a part of the climbing complex "On Sputnik". Its opening is to take place on November, 17.

The pilot land lots, where new cottages will be built, have already been chosen. Chief regional architect Konstantin Shumov announced it at the meeting of the coordination council on interaction of state authorities and local self-government on November, 15. Shumov said the lots are situated in the village of Solontsy, Emelyanovo District. The total area of land allocated for low-rise construction is 500 ha. 'These are land lots, which were registered after the checkup of legacy of allocating the lots to districts and towns. We chose these land lots and decided to start the implementation of our project there,' Shumov explained. In its turn, the project is a part of the national project "Affordable and comfortable accommodation to Russian citizens", aimed at solution of housing problem by mass low-rise construction. It is planned to build cottages at 3 thousand land lots and settle about 10 thousand people there. 'We are confident of the fact that the project will be in demand by so many people, as we studied the outcomes of a research of tests made there by illegal builders, who had been going to work there before us. The investment attractiveness of the chosen land lots is proved by these tests too,' Konstantin Shumov explained. He added that the total sum of investments to be made into the project was about $280 m. The average cost of a square meter in these houses will be about $1 thousand. Shumov noted the accommodation is intended for middle class. 'We also plan to start the implementation of low-rise social construction project in Solontsy. Its cost will range from $350 to $400 for a square meter,' he said. Having listened to Shumov's report, members of the coordination council took the information into consideration and decided to form a working group of experts from Krasnoyarsk Territory and Yemelyanovo District administrations. The working group will help to organize closer interaction between regional and local authorities in the implementation of low-rise construction project.2006-11-15T08:28+0100NewslabenNewslab-e365aadda6f09755373cb90ba870d3ff20061115082800http://rss.cnn.com/%7Er/rss/cnn_latest/%7E3/49481466/index.htmlNEW DELHI, India (Reuters) -- When Chinese President Hu Jintao visits India next week, the talk will almost certainly be of burgeoning trade ties and closer cooperation between the world's most populous and rapidly growing economies.

It is worth reminding that Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov had signed an order about the establishment of Siberian Federal University. The new higher educational establishment will be formed by joining three Krasnoyarsk universities to Krasnoyarsk State University: State Architectural and Construction Academy, State Technical University and State University of Non-Ferrous Metals and Gold.

A land area of 390 ha was allocated for construction of modern university buildings and facilities of the future university.2006-11-14T12:06+0100NewslabenNewslab-5aba6cccd099534273058baed0effb3020061114120600http://english.newslab.ru/news/206045/Krasnoyarsk Territory Governor Alexander Khloponin visited town out-patient department No. 1 on November, 14 to check up the implementation of the national health service project and the program of four "Ds" ("Dom" – house, "Derevnya" – village, "Demographics" and "Deti" – children) personally. The delegation consisted of Deputy-Governor Sergey Kozachenko, head of Krasnoyarsk health service agency Yegor Korchagin, chief of Krasnoyarsk directorate for health service Victor Shevchenko, director of Regional Fund of Compulsory Medical Insurance Vadim Yanin and other experts on health service. The governor was shown the rooms of the out-patient department. Deputy-chief doctor Yelena Gaas told the hospital was one of the biggest in the region, having up to 100,000 patients, who are not only from Kirovsky district of Krasnoyarsk but also residents from neighboring areas. The governor paid special attention to rooms with equipment received as part of the national project. According to the project "Health service", the out-patient department received a digital photofluorograph, X-ray equipment, a mammographer, and an ultrasonograph. Experts explained that new equipment made it possible for more people to pass procedures a day and to get test results quicker. After the excursion, the governor held a meeting with chief doctors of Krasnoyarsk hospitals on the implementation of the health service national project and the program of 4 "Ds". In addition, he talked to patients. The governor summed up that a lot had been done as part of the national project, yet a lot of problems remained unsolved. In particular, long queues and supplies of medicines to patients. "A lot has been done as part of the implementation of the national project in our region and city. The fact that doctors received new equipment and managed to serve more patients already means much. And no one doubts that a great many is still left to do," the governor stated.2006-11-14T12:06+0100NewslabenNewslab-7a2306266abad8d6c57b3bc22c13efa1HealthENV20061114120600http://www.haveeru.com.mv/?page=engdetails&id=934414 November 2006 SYDNEY - England gained an early breakthrough with the wicket of New South Wales first-innings century-maker Phil Jaques in the first over of the second innings of their tour match at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday.

Deputy Commissioner General of Police, Achirawit Suphanphesat, agreed to meet them. Pol Gen Achirawit is the spokesman for the police, and not directly involved in either detecting nor dealing with piracy of intellectual property.

In a way, Pol Gen Achirawit addressed the immediate concerns of the group of 57. They represent trademark owners, meaning they market brand-name merchandise which is being pirated _ chiefly music, films, software and programmes for pay-TV. The group told the police spokesman they felt that enforcement of intellectual property laws was ''dead in the water''. The police representative denied that, and cited action.

This is not reflected in a bossy attitude, rather is has done what is seldom 'expected' of relatively weak African states - it has tackled corruption in the multi-billion rand Lesotho Highlands Water Scheme head on, by prosecuting both corrupt officials and bribe paying corporations.
