CLEAN: Police Officer on the Beat

RONALD REAGAN

Ontario Provincial Police officer Jay Hope testifies about the department's decisions on how to react to a large Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) strike in Queen's Park earlier that year. He relates the OPP was concerned the strikers could shut the government down by preventing lawmakers from entering the building. A lawyer representing OPSEU and the commissioner reject this idea by dismissing it as "political science." They question why Hope did not relate his concerns about protesters becoming violent if he suspected they would. Due to a earlier change in law, OPSEU could go on strike legally and in March 18, 1996, a large crowd gathered in Queen's Park to protest the Harris administration's proposed policy to cut jobs. OPP and Toronto Metro officers guarded politicians who attempted to enter the building and clashes broke out among police and protesters. One protester carried a sign with the "no justice, no peace" slogan.

Labour Party conference 1996: Tony Blair speech; ENGLAND: Blackpool: Winter Gardens: INT Tony Blair MP (Labour Leader) speech SOT / cutaways of audience delegates and MPs including Mo Mowlam and Alastair Campbell (Press officer) at back of room. - "But first we should welcome all the representatives, the ambassadors from round the world. I would want to welcome in particular at this time the Israeli Ambassador and the representative of the Palestinian people. (Applause) You are here together and you have our prayers that the tears and the bloodshed of the past few days can once again be ended and peace restored. Here, too, are those from all the communities in Northern Ireland. I would like to say this personally to the people there. No leader with this nation’s interests at heart could do anything other than see this peace process through. With the Irish government, with the parties in Northern Ireland, I can assure you it will be every much a priority for me as for John Major. All the force and energy I have will be bent towards it. We have been responsible in our actions over the peace process from the outset; we will continue to be so now. (Applause) I say this to Sinn Fein and, after events of the last 24 hours, to Loyalist groups as well. You have your chance to take the path of peace. It is your duty to take it as members of the human race. Honour it and you shall play your part. Fail in that duty and I swear to you, the search for justice and reconciliation will carry on without you. The choice is yours. (Applause)

Made in 1942 by the WWII Office for Emergency Management, TANKS is an Orson Welles narrated film about American tank production, showcasing the Detroit Arsenal. Jack Shaindlin composed and conducted the score, and received an award from President Truman for this film. <p><p>Detroit Arsenal (DTA), formerly Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant (DATP) was the first manufacturing plant ever built for the mass production of tanks in the United States. Established in 1940 under Chrysler, this plant was owned by the U.S. government until 1996. It was designed by architect Albert Kahn. The building was designed originally as a "dual production facility, so that it could make armaments and be turned into peaceful production at war's end. Notwithstanding its name, the 113-acre (0.46 km2) site was located in Warren, Michigan, Detroit's largest suburb.<p><p>Chrysler's construction effort at the plant in 1941 was one of the fastest on record.<p><p>During World War II, the Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant built a quarter of the 89,568 tanks produced in the U.S. overall. The Korean War boosted production for the first time since World War II had ended; the government would suspend tank production after each war. In May 1952, Chrysler resumed control from the army, which had been unable to ramp up production.<p><p>The Medium Tank M3 was an American tank used during World War II. In Britain the tank was called by two names based on the turret configuration. Tanks employing US pattern turrets were called the "Lee", named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Variants using British pattern turrets were known as "Grant", named after U.S. General Ulysses S. Grant.<p><p>Design commenced in July 1940 and the first M3s were operational in late 1941. The U.S. Army needed a good tank and coupled with the United Kingdom's demand for 3,650 medium tanks immediately, the Lee began production by late 1940. The design was a compromise meant to produce a tank as soon as possible. The M3 had considerable firepower as it was well armed and provided good protection, but had certain serious drawbacks in its general design and shape, such as: a high silhouette, an archaic sponson mounting of the main gun, riveted construction, and poor off-road performance. Its overall performance was not satisfactory and the tank was withdrawn from front line duty — except in the remote areas of the Asian Theater where it was used by British forces as late as mid-1944 or later — as soon as the M4 Sherman became available in large numbers. In spite of this it was considered by Hans von Luck superior to the best German tank at the time of its introduction, the Panzer IV.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

In his speech, Barak empathised with the Syrians over the loss of their soldiers in the war. Barak is traveling to Germany and France, both countries involved with the U-S led efforts to revive peace talks. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak took part in a memorial on Tuesday in the Jerusalem Army Cemetery of Mount Herzel to honor Israeli soldiers killed in the 1973 Mideast war. In his speech, Barak made a plea to Syria for peace and said the Syrian people lost many lives as did the Israelis in the fighting. Israel's Foreign Minister, David Levy was there, along with opposition leader, Ariel Sharon, and Israel's Chief Rabbis. In his speech before cabinet ministers, political opposition and religious leaders, Barak said this is the time for the peace of the brave between the two countries. SOUNDBITE: (Hebrew) "To our neighbours the Syrians headed by President Assad that also suffered many casualties during the Yom Kippur war we say: This is the time for peace of the brave. Enough with wars enough with bloodshed. We too and our neighbours should understand that there will be no peace without security." SUPER CAPTION: Ehud Barak, Israeli Prime Minister In his election campaign, Barak said his aim was to achieve peace with Syria, Lebanon and the Palestinians during his four year term of office. Israeli-Syrian negotiations have been suspended since February 1996. The two still disagree on terms for where to resume peace talks. SHOTLIST: Jerusalem - September 21, 1999 XFA 1.

Among those killed is thought to be Lt. Gen. Tin Oo, known by the title of Secretary 2 in the ruling State Peace and Development Council. Fourteen other people aboard were missing. The others killed are thought to be Colonel Thein Nyunt, the minister of progress of border areas and national races and development affairs, and Brigadier General Lun Maung, the minister in prime minister's office. Officials speaking anonymously said the MI-17 Russian-made helicopter went down due to engine trouble, and Myanmar TV reports suggested the helicopter had run into a "sudden patch of bad weather." The aircraft crashed in the Salween river near Pa-an where Tin Oo and his party had reportedly gone to inspect a new bridge. The area is about 160 kilometers (100 miles) southeast of the capital Yangon. Myanmar, also known as Burma, has been ruled by the military since 1962, and the State Peace and Development Council came to power in 1988 after a crackdown on a pro-democracy movement. Tin Oo, 67, tended to avoid speaking publicly about politics and was popular with the troops. He survived an assassination attempt in 1997 when a parcel bomb airmailed from Japan exploded in his house, killing his daughter. The government blamed anti-government agitators for the attack, but the bombing was possibly the result of a power struggle within the ruling junta.

Wide of Peace Statue STORYLINE: Japan's southwestern city of Nagasaki on Thursday paused to remember the dropping of the atomic bomb on their city 56 years ago. The so-called "Fat Man" bomb killed as many as 70-thousand people in the world's second nuclear assault. People started coming to Nagasaki's Peace Park from the early hours of the morning to say prayers for the dead. Although more than half a century passed since the dropping of the bomb, the people of Nagasaki never forget the nightmare that they witnessed with their own eyes. Many of them attended a peace memorial ceremony in the park, near the site where the bomb exploded. They bowed their heads, many clasping their hands in prayer as a bell rang out and an air-raid siren filled the skies with its plaintive cry. The crowd observed 60 seconds of silent prayer at 1102 local time (0202 GMT), the time the US plane dropped the bomb. City officials estimated the number of participants at four and a half thousand but more people were expected to visit the park throughout the day. Nagasaki was the second a-bomb attack. Three days earlier, a bomb had been dropped on Hiroshima, killing about 140-thousand people. Nagasaki is about 982 kilometres (614 miles) southwest of Tokyo on the main southern island of Kyushu. Japan surrendered on 15 August 1945, bringing World War II to an end. In an address marking the anniversary, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi promised to press for the speedy enactment of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, a 1996 agreement that would prohibit all test explosions of nuclear weapons as well as other nuclear explosions. So far, 160 countries have signed the 1996 CTBT, but only 67 of them have ratified it. The United States has been reluctant to ratify it and seems rather eager to push ahead its missile-defence programme. In doing so, it appears ready to pull out of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Moscow.
