Visa-free travel suspended ahead of European Central Bank meeting, overriding Schengen Protocol.

| Spain has suspended visa-free travel and re-instituted border checks ahead of a meeting of the European Central Bank (ECB) in Barcelona next week.It is an unprecedented move that overrides the Schengen Protocol that was first instituted in 1985. The agreement means there are no int
ernal border controls for the 26 European countries and their combined population of more than 400 million people. Spain says it needs to regulate its borders to prevent foreign protesters disrupting the ECB meeting . It is not the first time Schengen Protocol has been called into question. Germany and France also want new rules to make it easier to suspend passport-free travel. Al Jazeera’s Sonia Gallego reports from Madrid.

Cerca de 100 personas han reocupado a primera hora del viernes la finca Somontes, una hacienda de casi 400 hectáreas que la Junta de Andalucía mantiene sin uso en Palma del Río, Córdoba. La toma se produce menos de 24 horas después de que la Guardia Civil desalojara a los ocupantes.
About 100 people have reoccupied the early hours of Friday Somontes estate, an estate of nearly 400 hectares of Andalusia remains unused in Palma del Río, Córdoba. The decision comes less than 24 hours after the Civil Guard to evict the occupants.
“No se han llevado nada de material, tan sólo algunas fotos”, informa Víctor, uno de los jornaleros y miembro del Sindicato Andaluz de Trabajadores (SAT), impulsor de la acción. “Pero si no hubiéramos vuelto, las huertas estarían sin riego y las gallinas se habrían muerto de sed o se las hubieran comido los perros”, continúa.
“There has been no material taken, only some pictures,” says Victor, one of the laborers and union member Andaluz de Trabajadores (SAT), driver of the action. “But if we had not returned, would be no watering gardens and chickens would have died of thirst or the dogs might have eaten them,” he continues.
Porque la ocupación no pretende ser sólo una denuncia de la falta de uso de los terrenos públicos –en este caso, pendientes de una subasta, sino una vía de autoempleo para jornaleros y jornaleras en paro que están participando en la ocupación.
Because the occupation is not intended as only an allegation of non-use of public lands in this case, pending an auction, but a way of self-employment for unemployed day laborers who are participating in the occupation.
Poco antes de las tres de la tarde del viernes la Guardia Civil no se había presentado para hacer ninguna nueva identificación. Los y las ocupantes se dedican ahora a reordenar lo revuelto por el cuerpo armado (“han dejado alguna casa echa trizas, con todo revuelto y embarrado”) y a preparar los detalles del acto central del 1 de mayo que el SAT organiza precisamente en la finca ocupada. La organización prevé varios conciertos, así como talleres de autoformación sobre técnicas agrarias tradicionales.
Shortly before three o’clock in the afternoon of Friday, the Civil Guard had not submitted the occupiers to any further identification. The occupants are engaged and now it scrambled to reorganize the destrruction by the miltary police. (“left a house check shredding, yet turbulent and muddy”) and prepare the details of the central act of May 1 the SAT union organized precisely on the squatted farm e. The organization provides for several concerts and workshops on traditional agricultural techniques .
El SAT impulsó la ocupación de la hacienda el 4 de marzo. Las 400 hectaŕeas, en su mayoría de secano, de la finca de Somontes son sólo una parte de las 400.000 hectáreas de terreno agrícola que, según el sindicato, son propiedad de la Junta y mantiene improductivas.
The SAT drove the occupation of the property on 4 March. The 400 hectares, mostly rainfed farm Somontes are only part of the 400,000 hectares of agricultural land, according to the union, are the property of the Board and remains unproductive.

The explosion at Chernobyl nuclear power plant 26 years ago has so far claimed at least a million lives, and counting. The core meltdown, which occurred on Saturday, April 26, 1986 at reactor No. 4 of the V.I. Lenin Nuclear Power Station, as it was then called, left entire regions in three countries—Ukraine, Russia and Belarus—unlivable.
The long-term consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are still disputed.
Birth defects and cancer were the norm for many years following the Chernobyl disaster. By the time residents of Pripyat, a town located near the plant, were ordered to evacuate, about two days after the Chernobyl core meltdown had occurred, many had already been exposed to varying doses of radiation poisoning.
Consequences of the Catastrophe. Authors Alexey Yablokov (Center for Russian Environmental Policy in Moscow), Vassily Nesterenko and Alexey Nesterenko ( Institute of Radiation Safety, Minsk, Belarus) studied about 5,000 reports and scientific papers mostly published in Slavic languages and compiled their finding in the book “Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment,” which was published last year on the 24th anniversary of the Chernobyl reactor core meltdown.
“For the past 23 years, it has been clear that there is a danger greater than nuclear weapons concealed within nuclear power. Emissions from this one reactor exceeded a hundred-fold the radioactive contamination of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.” They wrote.
“No citizen of any country can be assured that he or she can be protected from radioactive contamination. One nuclear reactor can pollute half the globe,” the authors said. “Chernobyl fallout covers the entire Northern Hemisphere.”
