NEWS ITEM 2 See first "Guantanamo" video of 15 year old interrogated
A videotape of a detainee being questioned at the US prison camp in
Guantanamo Bay has been released for the first time. It shows 16-year-old Omar Khadr being asked by Canadian officials in 2003 about events leading up to his capture by US forces, Canadian media have said.
The Canadian citizen is accused of throwing a grenade that killed a US soldier in Afghanistan in 2002.
He is seen in a distressed state and complaining about the medical care.
The footage was made public by Mr Khadr’s lawyers following a Supreme Court ruling in May that the Canadian authorities had to hand over key evidence against him to allow a full defence of the charges he is facing.
One of those lawyers, Dennis Edney, told the BBC his client was seen in a distressed state because he had been "abused" by his American guards.
"He was deprived of sleep by being removed from his cell and to another cell every three hours on a 24-hour basis for three weeks solid,
followed by three weeks of deep solitary confinement,"
Mr Edney told the BBC.

NEWS ITEM 3 Revealed: our € 1/2 bn national pension reserve funds invested in Zimbabwe
More than half a billion euro has been invested onbehalf of the Irish
taxpayer in Zimbabwe-based companies, despite calls by the government
last week for further sanctions against Robert Mugabe’s
‘illegitimate’ regime.
The Sunday Tribune has learned that the State’s National Pension Reserve
Fund (NPRF) has invested over 578m in a variety of Zimbabwe-based companies.
The NPRF was set up in April 2001 to invest money on behalf of the state
in order to meet the costs of social welfare and public service pensions
in the future.
