Local Instability Affects 2042 World Cup Buenos Aires - Argentina Protests at the much anticipated final between Brazil and Argentina marred an otherwise exciting night that celebrated the best of football and the general improvement seen in Argentina including the end of meat rationing last month. The attacks by Argentine nationalists against visiting Brazilian fans resulted in the Argentine government declaring martial law in Buenos Aires, but the president has now said soldiers who have been patrolling streets would be withdrawn gradually from midnight Monday after "significant" activity by police in recent hours.

Apophis Station Continues Tumbling: (Apophis Station, Earth Orbit) Apophis station manager, Margaret Blaine, assured reporters via Link that the latest series of malfunctions were minor setbacks, not likely to significantly extend the construction timeline, and that the now highly erratic orbit of the asteroid would soon be brought back under control. The interview was cut short when what ground control called a " ... temporary station wide power glitch, which we are still working" has knocked out all communication with the entire facility.

Our Fate in the Stars Copenhagen, NorFed Action undertaken at recommendation of the Star Hammer team has sufficiently diffused pressure for a robust response. However, while attacks against general cargo ships continue, attacks against oil tankers have significantly dropped off, an unexpected development threatening our profitability and insurance coverage. Memetic action alone may no longer suffice as we understand major Lloyd’s of London Underwriters are planning on sharing loss data with the UK’s Naval Intelligence office. Analysis of losses will lead the UKNI to the same conclusion, thus threatening our model for managing the situation.

Out of the Snow and into the ICE Stockholm: “So they went ahead and built this ‘ICE’ detention centre as part of the general crackdown on freedom of speech. They said that it was designed only to house those waiting for expulsion from the country and those who commit repeated hate crimes, so now it's holding people fleeing the Russian and American sweeps of the Arctic. Almost all of these are subject to dodgy extradition requests by the US and Russia. This new detention centre is the vanguard of a lurch to authoritarianism in the Nordic Federation”

This court has seen conclusive evidence that you knew, without a doubt, that the people there were non combatant civilians. Further to this you ordered...

The Phir Factor (Jaipur, India)

India’s Svarg ka Phir Janm-program is giving poor people a chance to work for food, health care and shelter. We spoke with one member of this new, indentured class anonymously;“Things were bad, I came back from the last war with psychological problems and couldn't find work. I was going to be homeless, there was no hope for me. So I took it [the tattoo] on my brow. The government praises me as a hero, someone who contributes to the nation. Sure, they give us the basic necessities, but for all their praise I see the looks in the eyes of people when they see the mark on my forehead. People used to admire me for what I did, now I’m digging a canal by hand.” When asked what he will do with his stipend, which all participants of the Svarg ka Phir Janm receive after two years to give away to a beneficiary of their choice, he said “I’ll donate it to the opposition party”

Japanese Government Hasn’t Got a Clue: “Now they’re looking for ‘outside causes’ - they mean someone did something but they don’t know who - but we know! I’m telling you - aliens fired something from their ship at the plant and that caused the meltdown - we saw it but apparently we’re just crazy! The government just won’t accept the truth because they’ve bought into the American bullshit!”

Green With Envy “The government will adopt the environmental sections of our last manifesto. By following Green principles we will cut our oil imports, prevent the loss of valuable farmland to desertification, improve crop yields and make Australia a model of how to preserve mother Earth. Yet this is only the first step, to secure this green revolution we need to fundamentally change how mankind relates to ….”
