The new generation of migrant workers still suffers from a range of problems, including discrimination, infringement of their rights and limited access to essential social services, a six-month survey in North China's coal-rich Shanxi province has found.

Focused on helping the new generation of migrant workers to integrate into city life, the Shanxi committee of the Communist Youth League of China carried out the survey from July 2010 across 11 cities in the province and polled about 5,000 young migrant workers.

Migrant workers suffer discrimination based on identity issues and unfairly limited access to medical services and education for their children, the survey found.

"It troubles me the most that since I and my family members don't have a local hukou (permanent residence permission), I have to pay an expensive extra fee to send my son to a local primary school. I can't afford such a big amount," Hu Zheng, a 30-year-old migrant worker from Sichuan province, told China Daily.

For the past three years Hu has been a skilled worker for the Sijian Construction Group in Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi province, and now earns 4,000 yuan ($606) a month. Although his income has increased a lot, he still does not dare bring his wife and son to the city.

If, like Hu, a migrant worker is the only breadwinner in his family and does not have a hukou, he will find the cost of living in a city too high.

"I have worked in cities for years and like the city life because young people have more opportunities. But long separation from my family and the discrimination I face often upset me," he said.

Many young migrant workers faced similar problems to Hu's.

Most of those surveyed said they seldom went to public hospitals when they fell ill. Instead they went to small illegal clinics where the treatment was cheaper, according to results of the survey provided to China Daily on Tuesday.

Nearly 50 percent of respondents said they earned 500 to 1,000 yuan a month.

About 10 percent of those polled ran their own small businesses, and the rest were mostly employed by coal mines, metallurgical plants and pharmaceutical factories.

Only a small proportion worked at construction sites or restaurants, which showed that the employment expectations of younger migrant workers was rising compared with those of the older generation.

Most of the surveyed said, in addition to salary and welfare, they also evaluated the working environment, the employer's reputation and future career development.

The survey also found that the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers were still often violated by employers. The problems included lack of labor protection, women being unequally paid, and delays in payment of wages.

The new generation of migrant workers, or the second generation of migrant workers, is a new social group. It generally refers to migrant workers born between 1980 and the early 1990s, many of whom were brought up in cities by their migrant worker parents.

Compared with the first generation of migrant workers, the younger migrants had wider career choices because they were better educated, the survey found. They depended less on the land and the trend was toward permanent migration to the cities.

China has 150 million migrant workers and 61.6 percent of them are aged 16 to 30, government statistics showed.

A string of apparent suicides at Foxconn's factory in South China and a spate of strikes across the country in the first half of 2010 put young migrant workers in the spotlight.

Since then, central and local governments have been called on to allocate more funds for the housing and education of migrant workers and their children, and to help them to settle down in cities where they will be entitled to social welfare and other benefits.

BBC Q1 show host Fry cancels Japan trip over A-bomb survivor joke
LONDON — The BBC's QI comedy quiz show host Stephen Fry has canceled his business trip to Japan due to strong Japanese reactions to his controversial comment in December about a double atomic bomb survivor as the unluckiest man in the world, BBC officials said Thursday.
Fry was due to visit the country for his forthcoming series “Planet Word” about language.
In the program broadcast on Dec 17, the host drew laughs from the show’s personalities and the audience by jokingly introducing the late Tsutomu Yamaguchi as the unluckiest man. Yamaguchi survived both the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 and died at 93 in January 2010.
But the backlash created by a light-hearted discussion of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki - which led to a BBC apology - has meant the planned trip has now been shelved.
The BBC said “the strength of feeling” in the country led to the change of plan.
Given the protest from the Japanese Embassy in London against the remark, the British broadcaster and a television production agency jointly offered an apology in January.

The FBI Has Been Violating Your Liberties in Ways That May Shock You
As Congress seeks to renew the Patriot Act, new information exposes egregious FBI violations.

Last week, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-VT, introduced legislation to extend the Patriot Act past its February 28 expiration date to December 2013. Though the extension once again saves some of the most nefarious, First-Amendment trampling provisions of the act -- roving wiretaps, secret access to third-party records, the hunting of targets unafilliated with foreign powers -- Leahy released a statement assuring us that the new extension will increase citizen protections.
“It will promote transparency and expand privacy and civil liberties safeguards in current law,” he said in a statement. “It increases judicial oversight of government surveillance powers that capture information on Americans. This is a package of reforms that all Americans should support.” The expanded bill would require the Department of Justice to issue public reports and generally expand oversight.
But will token rights-preserving provisions matter if the FBI refuses to comply?
Over the last decade, the FBI has been found to violate the Constitution countless times under the guise of the Patriot Act, including a 2007 scandal that led FBI head Robert Mueller to publicly apologize for the preponderance of security abuses, misconduct and violation of civil liberties on his watch. We’ve known since its enactment in 2001 that the Patriot Act, with its gross expansion of law enforcement power and murky reporting requirements, was just a rulebook waiting to be spoiled.
But according to a new report released by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the FBI’s violations go far beyond what has been reported.
Since July 2009, EFF has been involved in litigation with seven different federal agencies for ignoring EFF’s requests for information submitted in 2008. In December 2009, the CIA, NSA, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and Department of State were ordered by the Court to comply with EFF’s requests under the Freedom of Information Act, though it did not receive the complete papers from the FBI until October 2010.
The resulting 2,500-page document consists of FBI reports to the citizen-run Intelligence Oversight Board during the years 2001-2008. Consistently, documents released from the IOB reveal investigations of abuse that often have not been reported to Congress or the Department of Justice as required. But EFF’s analysis, pored over for several months, illuminates exactly how, when and why these investigations happened, and the results are shocking.
First, the numbers: EFF found that, since 9/11, the FBI has been responsible for up to 40,000 violations. Most often, said violations included bucking guidelines for internal oversight, abusing the National Security Letters and trampling on the Fourth Amendment. This, in tandem with the IOB’s weakened capacity for oversight under President George W. Bush, has resulted in nothing short of disaster. In 2008, Bush revoked the IOB’s right to refer violations to the Attorney General, and eliminated the agency’s requirement to report quarterly to the IOB. As EFF found, "The FBI’s disregard for its own internal oversight requirements and the Bureau’s failure to timely report violations to the IOB undermined the safeguards established to protect civil liberties violations from occurring." While the Obama administration restored a few of those changes, it still has not provided the proper transparency needed for a true citizen-protective oversight board or fully disclosed its makeup.
Some of the more egregious abuses, according to EFF’s report:
• Private entities such as phone companies, banks and Internet providers assisted the FBI’s National Security Letters abuse with alarming frequency, turning over information without valid legal justification in more than half of all case.
• Between 2001-2008, the average time between when a violation was committed, and when it was reported to the IOB, was 2.5 years.
• During that same time frame, the FBI was found to have submitted false or inaccurate documents to courts, used "improper evidence" to obtain subpoenas, and accessed password-protected documents without a warrant.

Students experience a Sabbath Service at the Kingston synagogue, Shaare Shalom; lectures on Jewish history in Jamaica, led by famed Jewish-Jamaican historian Ainsley Henriques; and community service at a Port Antonio homeless shelter and a home for the elderly.

The eco-tour combines trips to Moore Town, home of the Eastern Maroons, and visits to the Bob Marley museum, while exploring other unique landmarks in Port Antonio and Jamaica's capital, Kingston.

Dhaka, Feb 1 (bdnews24.com) — Prime minister Sheikh Hasina has urged the writers and publishers to make sure that genuine history is written in books.

Hasina, while inaugurating the Amar Ekushey Book Fair on Bangla Academy premises on Tuesday, stressed the need for writing authentic history for the sake of the young generation.

Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, national professor Kabir Chowdhury, information minister Abul Kalam Azad, state minister Promod Mankin and Bangla Academy director general Dr Shamsuzzaman Khan, among others, spoke at the function.

Hasina later launched National Writers and Literature Museum on the ground floor of the Bardhaman House on the fair premises.

Besides showcasing Bangladeshi books, there will be cultural programmes and discussions and seminars on Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.

The theme has been selected to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Tagore, a versatile litterateur.

New York Times may create portal for WikiLeaks-style submissions

Bassam Sebti
New York Times

The New York Times is considering creating an electronic drop-box for whistleblowers who want to send large files to the paper.

The Times executive editor Bill Keller told Yahoo! News blog The Cutline that the new system might be patterned after Al Jazeera's Transparency Unit, which allows users to submit files through an encrypted system that does not record any of their personal information.

He added that a small group from the Times computer-assisted reporting and interactive news, with advice from the investigative unit and the legal department, "has been discussing options for creating a kind of EZ Pass lane for leakers."

Raffi Khatchadourian of The New Yorker recently wrote an article in which he asked whether Al Jazeera had "taken the first step in a journalism arms race to begin acquiring mass document leaks."

"It would be surprising if other large news organizations are not already at work on their own encrypted WikiLeaks-style portals," Khatchadourian wrote. "The New York Times and the Guardian, for instance, have every incentive to follow in Al Jazeera's footsteps and give people a way to submit sensitive material directly to them rather than through an intermediary, such as WikiLeaks."

In 2010, the Times and the Guardian received hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. documents from Wikileaks. These documents were allegedly supplied by Army Pvt. Bradley Manning, who remains in solitary confinement.

Al Jazeera has recently published leaked documents it has obtained from a decade of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. The network, The Cutline reported, promises that "all submitted content is subjected to a rigorous vetting and authentication process that encompasses respect for individual privacy."

Couple murder: Cops making list of close relatives

Investigators and detectives are making a list of relatives of the slain couple -- Farhad Khan and his wife Rahima Khatun -- as they initially suspected that the close ones might have been involved in the double murder.

The plainclothes police said they have collected finger and foot prints from the house and the bodies as they believe that this will help them to detect the criminals who carried out the killing mission.

"We're making a list of those who often visited the Nayapaltan house of the victims. After making the list, we'll step up vigilance on them," a senior official of the detective branch (DB) of police said.

"We're not cent per cent sure but the collected clues lead to speculation about the relatives and close ones of the deceased," said Sub-Inspector Zillur Rahman, investigation officer (IO) of the killing case.

The SI said they have started talking with the relatives of the deceased to discover the motive behind the murders.

Police Thursday evening recovered the slaughtered bodies of senior journalist of the Bangla daily, Dainik Janata, Farhad Khan and his wife Rahima Khatun after breaking the door of their bedroom.
