- BRITAIN
- The environmental group Greenpeace has accused the British
- government of stepping up the dumping of ammunition into the
- Atlantic, arguing London plans to dump more than 18,000 tons of
- ammunition into the sea this year.
-
- Greenpeace says this is more than the combined total for the last
- five years, adding this practice violates the London Convention,
- which establishes mandatory international rules for the disposal of
- toxic waste. (R. Havana)

- GERMANY
- Riots are continuing in Germany, with left-wing demonstrators
- clashing with right-wing youths in the east of the country. The
- leftists were protesting against four nights of attacks on a local
- hostel for people seeking asylum.
-
- Hundreds of police were deployed in riot gear, backed by water
- cannons and tear gas grenades, to escort the 250 demonstrators who
- came mainly from west Germany. They marched around the streets of
- the medieval town, chanting anti-nazi slogans and fighting with
- groups of local youths who taunted them with fascist slogans or
- Hitler salutes.
-
- In the four previous nights, right-wing youth threw rocks and
- bottles at the refuge, attacking a peaceful anti-racist
- demonstration and a group of citizens who held a silent vigil
- outside the building. (R. Australia 9/13)
