Nokia Nokia replaces Kallasvuo with Microsoft's
Elop Nokia ousts chief executive and brings in Microsoft business head Stephen Elop as mobile phone maker struggles to compete with Apple iPhone and Google Android handsets Graeme Wearden guardian.co.uk, Friday 10 September 2010 08.58 BST Stephen Elop, president of Microsoft's business division, has been named as Nokia's new chief executive. Photograph: EPA Nokia has fired its embattled chief executive, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, and turned to a senior Microsoft executive in an attempt to restore its fortunes. The mobile phone maker announced this morning that Kallasvuo will leave the company on 20 September. He will be replaced by Stephen Elop, who until last night was the head of Microsoft's business division. Shares in Nokia jumped by 5.8% in early trading after the news was announced. Kallasvuo has been under mounting pressure for months over Nokia's failure to compete better with Apple's iPhone and the slew of new handsets running Google's Android operating system. Nokia's board said it had appointed Elop in an effort to "complete the transformation" of the company. "The time is right to accelerate the company's renewal; to bring in new executive leadership with different skills and strengths in order to drive company success. The Nokia Board believes that Stephen has the right industry experience and leadership skills to realise the full potential of Nokia," it said this morning. ... http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/sep/10/nokia-replaces-kallasvuo-microsoft-stephen-elop |

News Politics Tony
Blair In an emotional chapter in his memoirs on the Iraq war, in which he admits to shedding many tears at the loss of so many lives, the former prime minister insists that military action was justified and refuses to offer an apology for joining forces with George Bush. "I can't regret the decision to go to war," he writes in A Journey. But he adds: "I can say that never did I guess the nightmare that unfolded, and that too is part of the responsibility. The truth is we did not anticipate the role of al-Qaida or Iran. Whether we should have is another matter; and if we had anticipated, what we would have done about it is another matter again." Blair writes of his anguish about how families of the fallen may not understand his pain at the loss of so many lives. "Do they really suppose I don't care, don't feel, don't regret with every fibre of my being the loss of those who died," Blair writes as he pays tributes to coalition soldiers and Iraqis who lost their lives. "The anguish arises from a sense of sadness that goes beyond conventional description or the stab of compassion you feel on hearing tragic news," he adds. "Tears, though there have been many, do not encompass it. I feel desperately sorry for them, sorry for the lives cut short, sorry for the families whose bereavement is made worse by the controversy over why their loved ones died, sorry for the utterly unfair selection that the loss should be theirs." But despite such
remarks, Blair says he cannot apologise for invading Iraq because he
says that Saddam still had the intent to develop a weapons of mass destruction
programme. The Iraqi leader only put his WMD programme "into abeyance"
for short-term tactical reasons to end UN sanctions, Blair argues. "I
can't say sorry in words; I can only hope to redeem something from the
tragedy of death, in the actions of a life, my life, that continues
still," he writes. Blair writes: "It was a headline question. It had to have a headline answer. Answer 'yes' and I knew the outcome: 'Blair apologises for war', 'at last he says sorry'. Choose a variant. The impact would be the same. "Those who had opposed the war would rejoice; those who had supported it would be dismayed, imagining their support and in some cases their sacrifice had been in vain. Answer 'no' and you seem like some callous brute, indifferent to the suffering or perhaps worse, stubbornly resistant, not because of strength but because you know nothing else to do." Blair recounts how he told the inquiry that he took responsibility, an answer that he admits was incomplete. "The anger was at being put in a position in an inquiry that was supposed to be about lessons learned, but had inevitably turned into a trial of judgment, and even good faith; and in front of some of the families of the fallen, to whom I wanted to reach out, but I knew if I did so, the embrace would be immediately misused and misconstrued. But the anger was selfish, trivial – comparatively at any rate – and transient." He writes of how he feels that offering words of condolence and sympathy are inadequate. "They have died and I, the decision maker in the circumstances that led to their deaths, still live." Blair admits that the intelligence that Saddam possessed a WMD programme "turned out to be incorrect". Despite admitting
this error, he says the invasion was still the correct course of action
by citing a 2004 report by the weapons inspector Charles Duelfer.
This included interviews with senior figures in Saddam's regime and
an interview with the ex-Iraqi president conducted by an FBI agent,
George Piro. The report uncovered tapes of meetings
between Saddam and senior staff at which the WMD programme was discussed.
Blair writes that Saddam made a "tactical decision to put such
a programme into abeyance, not a strategic decision to abandon it". |

'Now it's time to turn the page' US president delivers on key election promise and thanks troops for 'job well done' – but cautions against triumphalism Ewen MacAskill in Washington The Guardian, Wednesday 1 September 2010 Watch part of Obama's televised address Link to this video Barack Obama formally brought an end to US combat operations in Iraq last night, seven years and 165 days after the invasion began, and declared it was time for America "to turn the page". In a televised address to the nation from the Oval Office, the president said America had paid a huge price for the war begun by George W Bush to topple Saddam Hussein. "Tonight, I am announcing that the American combat mission in Iraq has ended. Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country," he said. Iraqi prime minister Nouri
al-Maliki hailed the restoration of sovereignty to Iraq: "Iraq
today is sovereign and independent. With the execution of the troop
pullout, our relations with the United States have entered a new stage
between two equal, sovereign countries." A
ceremony is to be held in Baghdad today, attended by the US vice-president,
Joe Biden, and Maliki, to mark the handover of responsibility
for military operations from the US to Iraqi forces. Obama, whose early
opposition to the invasion helped propel his White House candidacy,
presented last night as the near-fulfilment of a key 2008 presidential
election campaign pledge to end the war. ... |

keskiviikkona 2009-08-26. TURKU Ossi Rajala. "Afganistanin
murheet ovat Suomen huolia". Katainen varoittaa suruviestien riskin
kasvaneen. "Kokoomuksen puheenjohtajan Jyrki Kataisen mukaan Suomen on edelleen pysyttävä mukana Afganistanin operaatiossa, koska islamilainen tasavalta on edelleen sekasortoisessa tilassa. - Afganistanissa käydään tärkeätä kamppailua terrorismia vastaan. Olemme operaatiossa mukana omien turvallisuusintressien takia ja meillä on halua auttaa Afganistanin kansaa, hän totesi tiistaina kokoomuksen eduskuntaryhmän kokouksessa Turussa. - Katainen toivoo eduskunnan puivan operaatioita syksyllä. Hän ymmärtää, että riskien kasvaessa myös paineet maasta lähtemistä kohtaan kasvavat. - Niiden, jotka haluavat Suomen vetäytyvän pois, olisi syytä miettiä, haluavatko he koko kansainvälisen yhteisön lähtevän Afganistanista. Tähänkin kysymykseen on oltava valmis sanomaan kyllä, jos operaatiosta luovutaan. Kokoomusjohtaja totesi Isaf-joukkoja koskevien päätösten olevan jatkossakin vaikeita, Vaativan operaation vaarat ovat lisääntyneet, joten Katainen varoittaa mahdollisista uusista suruviesteistä. - Osallistumista operaatioon tullaan tarkastelemaan vuosittain. Riskit on tiedostettava, Suruviestien aiheutumista tietenkin vältetään, mutta niitä voi silti tulla. Olemme toistaiseksi olleet melko onnekkaita."

is free Every Afghan civilian death diminishes the coalition's cause, General David Petraeus told troops in a tactical directive issued last week. By that standard alone, yesterday's UN report on civilian casualties in the first half of this year makes grim reading for the new commander of Nato forces. True, it vindicates the strategy of his predecessor, General Stanley McChrystal, in limiting air strikes, often at the cost of increasing the danger to troops fighting their way out of an ambush. The report says there has been a 30% drop in the number of deaths and injuries caused by foreign forces. It also attests to the increasing ruthlessness of the Taliban. Afghan deaths have soared as a result of homemade bombs and political assassinations. No one is too young to be killed. A seven-year-old boy accused of spying for the government was publicly hanged. But civilian deaths are not the Taliban's problem,
despite the guidelines they issue to their fighters. They are Petraeus's,
because they strike at the heart of Nato's claims that it is there
for the protection of the civilian population. In two unusually acerbic
passages, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (Unama)
said that the operation Nato launched in February to clear the Taliban
out of the poppy-growing fields of the Nadi Ali and Marja districts
of central Helmand had not resulted in a increased protection of the
local population – 29 of whom had died at Nato's hands, 32 at
the Taliban's, and 13 at the hands of unknown killers. One way or another, civilians are becoming the primary target of this conflict. The escalation of the campaign ordered by Barack Obama last year has only spread the zone of conflict, not doused it. It shows no signs of securing the loyalty of the Pashtun in the time limits Mr Obama has set himself. It may be true that in decreasing the casualties that they cause, US forces are at last learning how to fight this war, but like Vietnam, they have run out of road back home. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/aug/11/killing-fields-afghanistan |
