China Places Duties on Steel Pipes from EU and Japan
Published on Nov 8, 2012 by NTDTV
In a tit-for-tat trade row volley with its trading partners, China's Ministry of Commerce announced today that it is going to place tariffs on steel pipes imported from Japanese and European companies.
After an investigation, the Ministry reported the foreign companies were selling the pipes at below market price, hurting Chinese businesses.
The decision follows a preliminary ruling in May that will slap a roughly 9-14% tariff on the pipes starting on Friday.
This is the latest move in a trade war between China and its biggest trading partners. The US, Japan and the EU have all placed import restrictions on Chinese imports they accuse of dumping on the market.

61 Year Old Brazilian Woman Gives Birth to Twins
Published on Nov 9, 2012 by NTDTV
61-year-old Brazilian woman gives birth to twins.
A 61-year-old Brazilian woman, who spent years trying to get pregnant, gave birth to twins on October 22.
Antonia Leticia Asti tried in-vitro fertilization in 2002.
Failing to conceive, she attempted adoption, but was told she was too old.
The new shot at artificial insemination was carried out using embryos from her first attempt, which had been frozen 10 years ago.
The final result was twins—a baby boy and girl, who are reported to be healthy, but are still being monitored in hospital.
Although clearly exhausted and still recovering in hospital, Asti couldn't be more pleased.
[Antonia Leticia Asti, 61-Year-Old Who Birthed Twins]: (female, Portugese)
"I'm the happiest woman in the world."
Her doctor, Orlando de Castro Neto, says Asti was an example to be followed and the personification of perseverance.
[Orlando de Castro Neto, Gynaecologist]: (male, Portugese)
"She did something that most people can't manage. The hardest things in life are the most gratifying."
The new father was also ecstatic, although already thinking about more practical things.
[Jose Cesar Asti]: (male, Portugese)
"I will enjoy the children and work very hard to put food in their mouths."
According to Asti's doctor, the biggest hurdle she had to overcome was society's prejudice towards older mothers.
A Spanish woman had become the world's oldest mother when she gave birth to twins aged 66 in 2009.

Britain's Princess Anne unveils memorial for Noor Inayat Khan
Published on Nov 9, 2012 by NTDTV
Indian WWII heroine who gave her life in the fight against fascism is memorialized in London.
Full Story:
Noor Inayat Khan was born into Indian royalty and became a published poet and an accomplished musician.
During World War II, she risked her life to work behind enemy lines as a radio operator in German-occupied France.
She was betrayed and arrested, and despite repeated torture, refused to reveal any information.
Noor Inayat Khan was shot in Dachau concentration camp in 1944.
A memorial to her bravery was unveiled in London on Thursday.
[Shrabani Basu, Noor Inayat Khan Memorial Trust]:
"Sixty-nine years ago, a young woman walked out of a house on Taviton Street just behind this square. She said goodbye to her mother and her sister, unable to tell them that she would never see them again. Noor Inayat Khan would become the first woman radio operator to be dropped behind enemy lines. She would pay the ultimate price for her bravery. Today, in the presence of Your Royal Highness, we have filled this square to remember a heroine of the war. A young woman of Indian origin who unhesitatingly gave her life in the fight against fascism."
Britain's Princess Anne unveiled the statue.

Iberia to cut 4,500 jobs, a quarter of airline's workforce
Published on Nov 9, 2012 by Euronews
http://www.euronews.com/ The Spanish airline Iberia is to cut four and a half thousand jobs - a quarter of its workforce. Its parent company, International Airlines Group, says the aim is to save the company which is "struggling for survival".
A deadline has been fixed for the end of January to agree a restructuring plan with the unions - otherwise, warns the company, even more drastic cuts will be implemented.
Iberia's director general says the company is not competing in any of its markets, and its problems pre-date the Spanish or European crises. It's losing 1.7 million euros a day, he adds.
On Wednesday IAG released its latest monthly passenger figures, which showed that numbers had risen at British Airways compared to the same period last year - whereas Iberia had lost customers. Traffic was down by 3.7 per cent.

European Commission agrees to support ailing European car industry
Published on Nov 8, 2012 by Euronews
http://www.euronews.com/ Peugeot, Opel, Ford ... successive closures in Europe mean the car sector is struggling. In an action plan presented today, the European Commission committed to supporting and facilitating its painful restructuring.
Antonio Tajani
EU Industry Commissioner:
"I decided to meet with the industry, I'll meet with the unions before the end of November and I invited the Ministers of Industry to have a discussion on working towards a better car industry."
Purchases of European new car registrations fell almost 11% in the last year. The decline has lasted five years. In Genk, Belgium, 4,300 employees of the Ford factory are gripped by periods of layoffs pending final closure of the site. The Commission's announcement was met with reservation.
Rhonny Champagne
ABBV Socialist Trade Union:
"Every bit of help is more than welcome. On the other hand, I hope that there'll be more only just talks, that there will be some decisions made that will help the car industry in Europe. Otherwise, it is just being busy and giving people false hope."
With flagging domestic demand and close to 30% overcapacity, the European auto industry is looking for salvation in innovation and emerging markets. Brussels has agreed to support investment in technology and facilitate exports.
Ivan Hodac
European Automobile Manufacturers Association:
"I think that if we invest enough in innovation, if we chop the overcapacity, if we restructure the industry, in one way or another we have to make this industry competitive."
Words that offer little comfort to the workers at Ford Genk. Part of their plant's production will be relocated to Spain.
