A referendum on granting the Welsh Assembly full legislative powers
could get a clear vote in favor to an ICM poll for BBC Wales exclusive.
Overall, 56% of respondents said they would be responsible for
preparing the legislative powers Senedd vote with 35% cons.
Which is increasing the gap between the yes and no similar survey in
2009.
The survey suggests that lead voters trust Gordon Brown and the Labor
Carwyn Jones, Wales a strong economic recovery, rather than the other
leaders.
The difference is 21% among those who have the disadvantages of full
power, under the title of a trend towards greater support for the
principle that legislation affecting Wales only in Wales carried out.
Last month, the members of the Assembly had unanimously to start the
process towards a referendum, the Assembly Government is committed to,
during or prior to May 2011 held.
The All-Wales Convention rate, which was commissioned, the appetite of
the public for a referendum in November that a referendum is required
winnable , but by no means a certainty.
The gap between those who say they would vote yes and not synonymous
with the BBC / ICM poll in the last three years by 7% in 2008 to 13%
increase last year and this year 21% – a significant scope for the yes
achieved.
In the second study, when people ask me how it should be from Wales,
the highest proportion – 40% can be ruled out – said they would like a
complete assembly with the power and the right to make a few powers of
taxation to be seen.
Another 13% said they wanted the Assembly to the full law making powers
but no power to tax – the only option in a referendum to pass
legislation.
Wales desire for an independent nation seems to be declining.
According to the survey, the level of support for an independent Wales
outside the UK but within the EU, only 7% to 4% in Britain to become an
independent non-UK and the EU.
Of the total, only 11% of respondents, is the smallest number, the
independence unique in the ICM / BBC stations.
The survey also shows that 62% of respondents believe that the Assembly
Government should exert more influence in Wales, with 24% saying it
should be the government at Westminster – similar figures for the year
past.

Sony is advising some PlayStation 3 not to use their console because of
a problem with the PlayStation Network.
The problem is affecting people using the older versions of the
PlayStation 3, called the “Fat” model.
The problem isn’t affecting the newer PS3 Slim systems that have been
on sale since September last year.
Sony have also said they are aiming to have the problem fixed shortly
but is advising some users to avoid using their console for the time
being.
“We hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours,” a statement
reads. “In the meantime, if you have a model other than the new slim
PS3, we advise that you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may
result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained
trophies, and not being able to restore certain data.
“We believe we have identified that this problem is being caused by a
bug in the clock functionality incorporated in the system.”
The PlayStation Network is used by millions of people around the world.
It allows users to play their friends at games like Fifa over the
internet and also do things like download software or visit online
stores.

United Nations aid agencies are increasingly concerned about the number
of children from Afghanistan migrating across Europe alone.
Latest figures from the UN Refugee Agency show that the number of
Afghan children under 18 who applied for asylum in Europe last year
rose by 64%, from 3,800 to more than 6,000.
That figure is believed to represent only a fraction of child migrants,
since many do not apply for asylum, either because they don’t know they
have a right to, or because they fear an application could lead to
detention or deportation.
The journey across Europe typically begins in Greece, after an already
hazardous trip from Afghanistan through Pakistan, Iran and Turkey.
Seventeen-year-old Abdullah’s decision to make such a dangerous journey
began long ago, when he was 11. He is a member of the Hazara ethnic
minority and, after both he and his father were threatened by the
Taliban, Abdullah’s parents decided to send him away.
“If I had stayed, I risked being killed,” he said.
Abdullah spent some years working in Iran, earning money to fund the
next stage of his trip. He then made his way to Turkey. From there he
crossed to Greece in an inflatable dinghy. It took him four attempts
before he succeeded.
Greece has one of the lowest rates of asylum approval in Europe,
however, and many Afghan boys, Abdullah among them, decide not to try
to stay there.
“From Greece I hid between the wheels of a lorry on a ferry to Italy,”
he explained. “It took 40 hours, with no food and only one bottle of
water. It was very difficult, and I was very scared.”
Abdullah’s fear is justified – in the past year, at least two Afghan
boys, one only 13, have been killed trying to make the same journey.
Abdullah’s home now is a disused army barracks just outside Venice. The
buildings have been converted into a centre for migrant boys just like
him. This one centre alone is receiving five new arrivals from
Afghanistan every single week.
“We offer them a safe, warm place to sleep,” explained social worker
Paolo Sola. “We also offer them medical attention, and eventually
lessons in Italian.”
“But, especially the Afghan boys, they often stay just a few weeks,” he
continued. “They want to continue with their journey, many want to go
to the UK or Scandinavia.”

Nato says four of its troops have been killed in three attacks in
Afghanistan.
Two Nato soldiers were killed in western Afghanistan, while another
died in a small-arms attack in the south.
A fourth was killed in a suicide car bomb attack near the southern city
of Kandahar, which targeted a Nato convoy and also killed four
civilians.
The Taliban said it had carried out the attack near Kandahar’s airport,
an important base for Nato forces battling militants across southern
Afghanistan.
The deaths came a day after a roadside bomb killed 11 civilians in
neighbouring Helmand province, where Nato and Afghan forces are waging
a major offensive against Taliban fighters.
Nato has not released the nationalities of the soldiers killed, leaving
that responsibility to their home nations.
Monday’s deaths take the number of Nato troops killed in Afghanistan
this year to 105 – more than double those killed in the first two
months of last year – according to the independent monitoring website
icasualties.org.
There has traditionally been less violence, and so fewer casualties, in
the early part of the year because of Afghanistan’s harsh winter
climate.
Last year, with more than 500 Nato soldiers killed, was the deadliest
year for foreign troops in Afghanistan since the US-led invasion of the
country in 2001.
The latest deaths come during a major push against the Taliban in
southern Afghanistan: Operation Moshtarak is the biggest military
offensive in Afghanistan since the Taliban were overthrown in 2001.

Train operator First ScotRail said that business as usual despite a
24-hour strike of the workers.
Members of the RMT union are the plans that issued the driver in place
of guards who have the doors to a new rail link between Airdrie and
Bathgate plant.
The union is holding a second strike day on the topic, which has
described as crucial for the security.
Scotrail said that the intention of carrying at least nine of the 10
trains, as it in previous strikes.
His special program designed to offer a 100% service on the routes of
many people – such as the Edinburgh-Glasgow Queen Street and all
services in Strathclyde, but Motherwell-Cumbernauld.
It was also exported services to Glasgow and Edinburgh, Aberdeen and
Inverness, as usual.
Over 550 railway workers involved in strikes in the first hour in three
24-20. February.
RMT members also of the 13th March, the day of England v Scotland RBS 6
Nations rugby match at Murrayfield.
The rail link of 300 meters from Glasgow to Edinburgh via Airdrie to
Bathgate, expected to open in December.
Last week, union leaders had expressed their anger Agency Transport
Scotland has already run the first plans Scotrail to the service
manager and ticket examiners, but no driver.
RMT general secretary Bob Crow said: It was a real opportunity to
resolve this issue in interviews this week, but this option has been
reduced by careful filtering of revelations that a political agreement
has been hacked through the guards with the transport of Scotland
sabotaged done, creating a total confusion about who is in charge, and
we should negotiate.
The central question in this case, per passenger and staff safety rules
and the elimination of agreements dating from 2001, the role of
protecting the security guard at ScotRail trains, and that is what we
are striking. Steve Montgomery, Director General the Scotrail said: It
is customary for the company in Scotland.
Our plans are those that happened at least nine of the 10 trains – such
as during the strike last Saturday. He added: However, we had some of
the services, check again, because the supply of RMT cause as little
inconvenience to our customers.
Tough choices had to be taken to ensure that as many people as
possible, regardless of day. A number of services in rural areas will
be replaced by buses.

Over 2,000 construction workers, road projects in the United States were sent home after a senator blocked a bill to extend payments.
Republican Jim Bunning only blocked the legislation and said that adding the deficit.
He has used procedural tactics to delay the law, and a new vote must be taken, probably next week.
Doctors and the unemployed may also be affected by the failure of a bill to extend payments for government projects.
The former baseball star Senator Jim Bunning, 78, of Kentucky, has been used repeatedly and without the help of people who have a secure power amounting to 10 billion U.S. dollars extended to March because it is not in the growing deficit in the United States, and The Democrats have not explained how they will pay for it.
Work continued on diverse projects such as a bridge between Virginia and Washington DC, a roundabout at the Virgin Islands and the receipt of a National Park in California because of opposition from a single senator.
Funding for physicians working in programs for the poor will be affected by the unemployment of millions of people and pay-TV cable in the country.
Mr. Bunning Republican colleagues would agree with the general sentiment, but no one has publicly confirmed Senator who retired in November.
Democrats condemned hurt ordinary Americans, but we know that he adds, arguing that the deadlock in Washington to play the guilt of the Republican policy is almost cheerful.
The Senate is likely to find a way to take Mr. Bunning, but some time.

US President Barack Obama is planning “dramatic reductions” in the country’s nuclear arsenal, a senior US administration official has said.
This would come as part of a sweeping policy review designed to prevent the spread of atomic weapons, he said.
The review “will point to dramatic reductions in the stockpile, while maintaining a strong and reliable deterrent”, the official said.
He added that it would lead to a greater role for conventional weapons.
Mr Obama is to meet his defence secretary, Robert Gates, later on Monday to discuss the new nuclear strategy.
Officials say thousands of nuclear weapons could be cut, in many cases by retiring weapons that are now kept in storage.
They say the new strategy will be an important step towards Mr Obama’s declared aim of reversing the spread of nuclear weapons and seeking a world without them.
Last April, Mr Obama outlined his vision of a world free of nuclear weapons in a major speech in Europe.
The US president called for the forging of new partnerships to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, and a global summit on nuclear security, which will take place next month.
The next five-yearly review conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is to be held in May.

President Dmitry Medvedev has called on Russian Olympic officials to resign, following the nation’s worst ever performance in the winter games.
Those in charge of preparing Russian athletes for the Vancouver games “should take the brave decision and submit their resignations,” he said.
“If they cannot do it, we will help them,” Mr Medvedev added.
Russia – traditionally a winter sports powerhouse – ended 11th in the medals table, with just three golds.
“For a long time we have benefited from Soviet achievements, at some point they ran out,” President Medvedev said at a meeting of the governing United Russia party on Monday.
He urged a change to the system of preparing Russian athletes, ahead of the next Winter Olympics, in the southern Russian city of Sochi.
Russia has experienced a steady decline in its Olympic performances since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
The games in Vancouver were particularly painful for the nation because of the failures in sports such as ice hockey and figure skating.
