| Reinforcements brought in after disturbances show Sweden is not immune to tensions festering in deprived communities
Police reinforcements have poured into the capital from provincial districts as Stockholm sought to put an end to a week of rioting, the worst to hit Sweden for years.
Disturbances have spread to 23 suburbs, dozens of cars have been set alight and around 30 people have been detained in connection with the riots, which were touched off on Sunday after police shot dead a man, believed to be Portuguese, who was reportedly wielding a knife.
Although a city police spokesman claimed the situation was at last calming down, further reinforcements arrived on Friday night from Skane, several hundred miles away to the south, as well as from Vastra Gotaland.
On Thursday night, two schools, a police station and 15 cars were set alight. The previous night around 70 cars were reportedly burned.
Few citizens in the city's suburbs appeared to believe that police would be able ... |

Horsemeat company regularly mixed horse in with beef, say Polish workers
|
24.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Former employees of Willy Selten plant tell how horse entered European food chain over at least five years
"Everything passed through my hands: beef, horse, old meat that stank, sometimes even 'fresh' meat but it wasn't exactly fresh … Yes, I cut horse. I suspected there was something wrong but I just did what I was told to do," Jan Kowalski told us.
Kowalski (not his real name) is one of 85 Polish migrant workers who were employed at a meat processing plant in the Netherlands that was raided by the Dutch authorities in February as part of their investigation into horsemeat fraud.
Guardian interviews with Kowalski and a Polish workers' union representative have thrown new light on how thousands of horses allegedly entered the food chain in place of beef over many years at the Willy Selten factory in Oss, south of Rotterdam.
They said that the horsemeat was processed at the end of the day, after the normal shift had finished and the plant had been cleaned down, and that workers were ... |

also trigger an overall sociological malaise that is so difficult to dispel. Puja Awasthi reports from Ballia in eastern Uttar Pradesh, a stark
example. |

Salman Khurshid leaves for Saudi Arabia
|
24.5.2013 |
deccanherald.com |
| External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid today left on an official visit to Saudi Arabia for talks on a range of issues, including the controversial Nitaqat law, energy security and counter-terrorism cooperation.
Khurshids visit, from May 24-27, would be the first by an Indian External Affairs Minister in the last five years. In 2008, then Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee had visited the Gulf Kingdom.
Khurshid will hold discussions with his Saudi counterpart Prince Saud Al-Faisal on bilateral, regional and international issues and will also call on the leadership of Saudi Arabia.
The visit comes at a time when a number of Indians are leaving Saudi Arabia as a result of the Kingdoms Nitaqat programme, which is meant to regularise foreign workers.
The Nitaqat law makes it mandatory for local companies to hire one Saudi national for every 10 migrant workers.
There has been widespread perception that the new policy will lead to denial of job opportunities for a large number of Indians ... |

UK net migration shrinks further, official figures show
|
23.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- Front Page |
| Net migration decreased by extra 10,000 people to 153,000 in year to September compared with previous quarter, says ONS
Net migration to Britain has shrunk by a further 10,000 people to 153,000 in the 12 months to September 2012 compared with the previous quarter, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The drop in the politically sensitive figure has largely been driven by a further fall in the number of overseas students coming to Britain and a decline in the numbers coming under the family reunion route largely to join spouses.
The latest net migration figures – which estimate those coming to live in Britain for more than 12 months minus those leaving to live overseas for more than 12 months – is 10,000 below the previous quarter's figure of 163,000. It is down by one third, or 89,000, on the previous year's figure of 242,000 recorded in the 12 months to September 2011.
The continuing fall represents significant progress for the home secretary, Theresa May, towards ... |
