An d猫idh c貌rr is 800 duine mharbhadh thairis air c貌rr is 40 bliadhna ann an ainm neo-eiseimeileachd do dh霉thaich nam Bascach, tha ETA air casg a chuir air an iomairt armaichte aca. Tha iad air an aon se貌rsa rud a ghairm mar tha ged-t脿, agus tha riaghaltas na Sp脿inn ag r脿dh nach bi iad riaraichte gus an cuir ETA bhuapa an cuid armachd. D猫 cho d貌chasach sa tha e gun tig s矛th mhaireannach an turas seo?

After killing over 800 people in more than 40 years in the name of Basque independence, ETA has proclaimed a ceasefire in its armed campaign. This is not the first time they have made such a declaration, however, and the Spanish government has said that they will not be satisfied until ETA lays down its arms forever. How good are the chances of a lasting peace this time?

Th脿inig s脿bhailteachd mh猫innearan gu aire an t-saoghail an-uiridh le sgeulachd iongantach mh猫innearan Chile. Thuig daoine cho cunnartach 's a tha an obair, m矛os 脿s a dh猫idh, nuair a bh脿saich 29 duine ann an spreadhadh ann am m猫inn ann an New Zealand. 'S iad S矛ona agus an Ruis na d霉thchannan as miosa air an t-saoghail son tubaistean aig m猫innean. San treas 脿ite tha an Tuirc. Chaidh sin a dhearbhadh sa Ch猫itein an-uiridh nuair a chaill deich duine fichead am beatha ann an tubaist m猫inn ann an ceann a tuath na d霉thcha. Chuir cuid 脿s leth an riaghaltais nach robh iad a' d猫anamh gu le貌r gus smachd a chumail air s脿bh脿ilteachd sa ghn矛omhachas.

Mine safety was brought to the world鈥檚 attention last year with the extraordinary story of the Chilean miners. The full dangers of the profession were realised a month after the Chile rescue, when 29 men died in an explosion in a New Zealand mine. China and Russia have the worst safety record in the world. Turkey is in third place. This record was emphasised last May when 30 men lost their lives in a mining accident in a northern region. Some criticised the government for not doing enough to regulate the industry in order to ensure the safety of miners.
