YESTERDAY was a bad day for the British Press, but a worse one for freedom. Lord Justice Leveson's report catalogues misdeeds by some journalists that embarrass everyone who works in the newspaper industry. Some people in our trade have behaved like wild beasts, and if they end up behind bars, that will be entirely just.

As soon as someone tells the great British public there is no need to start panic-buying, the panicbuying starts. So the queues at petrol stations around the Westcountry yesterday, as a looming tanker drivers strike moves closer, were only to be expected, despite the exhortations of motoring groups and Government ministers that there was plenty of fuel to go round. Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude didn't help things with his suggestion that drivers might like to fill up any spare jerry cans. But drivers don't need much encouraging. For many in the Westcountry, even a sniff of a fuel shortage sends them racing to the pumps because the car is such a vital part of everyday life in our region, noone can afford to run out. But if motorists were behaving in a perfectly understandable and...
CHANGES to the way newspapers regulate themselves have been given the backing of the county's MPs. Cheltenham MP Martin Horwood, Tewkesbury MP Lawrence Robertson and Cotswold MP Geoffrey Clifton- Brown have all supported the deal to create a new watchdog and impose tighter press regulation after the Leveson Inquiry. The three political parties agreed to establish a self-regulatory body that will have the power to issue front page apologies from the press to victims and fines up to Pounds 1 million. It will also mean a free arbitration service for victims. A number of the UK's national newspapers are said to be taking "high-level legal advice" before making a decision on whether to co- operate with a new regulator.
AS A British farmer at San Carlos in the Falklands in 1982, I can say Dominic Sandbrook's foretelling of the re-taking of the Falkland Islands this year (Mail) may prove prophetic. We took the Malvinas from the Argentinians in 1830 and have refused arbitration ever since. The UN supported their claim and after years of negotiation the Foreign Office had agreed to transfer sovereignty in 1981. But a campaign by the Falkland Islands Company led to 'subject to a referendum by the islanders' being added to the agreement -- and, by a small majority, they blocked the transfer. Our ambassador and military attache were warned to prepare for an invasion. Plans were read by GCHQ and the U.S. but no threat of retaliation was issued by our government. I was in Buenos Aires at the time, negotiating ...

The government has revoked Occidental's contract after accusing the oil multinational of violating its obligations and state-owned Petroecuador has taken full technical control of its operations. Occidental has filed an arbitration claim against the government in protest at the seizure of its assets - estimated to be worth USD1bn - which it says is illegal. The claim was introduced to the International Centre for Settlements of Investment Disputes, invoking protection under a US-Ecuador investment treaty. But any decision could take well over a year. The cancellation of the contract came about two weeks after Bolivia's President Evo Morales nationalised his country's energy industry and ordered the military to occupy the natural gas fields. Quito has ruled out any plans to nationalise t...
