add video playlist BERLIN (AFP) - German brewers say a five-century-old beer purity law deserves a spot on the Unesco list for "intangible cultural heritage". The law, called the 'Reinheitsgebot' in German, was introduced in Bavaria in 1516 and adopted nation-wide in 1906. It dictates that only water, malt, hops and yeast, and no flavourings or preservatives, may be used to make beer. "If Germany is still regarded as the undisputed beer nation, that is due to the Reinheitsgebot," said Hans-Georg Eils, president of the German Brewers Federation. Its acceptance to the world heritage list "would be for German brewers and maltsters a sign of appreciation and an incentive at the same time," Eils added.

Demonstrators have taken to the streets of Bangkok to protest against Thailand\'s controversial amnesty bill.

The amnesty applies to offences committed during the turmoil after Thaksin Shinawatra was ousted in a coup, and could allow the return of the former PM who is in exile.

At least 70 people have been killed and 230 injured in Iraq - during just one day in the latest spike in violence. Suicide blasts, roadside bombs and gun battles rocked the country on Monday, continuing weeks of bloodshed, which has claimed nearly 2-thousand lives since April. Much of the violence is blamed on Sunni insurgents, after months of protests against the Shi\'ite-led government. RT\'s Lucy Kafanov investigates the sectarian tension.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — More than 100,000 demonstrators chased away police to rally in the center of Ukraine\'s capital on Sunday, defying a government ban on protests on Independence Square, in the biggest show of anger over the president\'s refusal to sign an agreement with the European Union.

Thousands of demonstrators tried to storm the nearby presidential administration building, but were driven back by riot police using tear gas and flash grenades, which produce a loud bang but are not intended to cause injury. The standoff continued, with more demonstrators arriving.

The protest was led by prominent opposition politicians, who demanded that President Viktor Yanukovych and his government resign. They also called for a nationwide strike and for tents to be set up to allow demonstrators to remain on the square around the clock.

There are new allegations that chemical weapons have been used in Syria, this time near the capital Damascus in the Goutha region. As always, details about the alleged attack are unclear but there are suggestions that the nerve agent Sarin was used. Even estimates of the numbers killed vary wildly from dozens to more than 600. This video looks at the most recent attack and why there are always questions over the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

Wreckage from Mozambique Airlines flight TM 470 has been found in the northeast of Namibia.

A Namibia police official has confirmed that there are no survivors.

The plane, which left Maputo on Friday carrying 33 passengers and crew, was heading for the Angolan capital Luanda when contact was lost.

Authorities have declined to comment directly on the crash but have strongly denied accusations of disorganisation by Mozambique officials. Allegations that there had been no passenger list for the flight have also been refuted.

There is currently no confirmed cause for the crash. However there had been reports of heavy rain in the region at the time.

German brewers want Unesco listing for 'pure' beer
German brewers want Unesco listing for 'pure' beer
  • Order:
  • Duration: 2:05
  • Updated: 02 Dec 2013
BERLIN (AFP) - German brewers say a five-century-old beer purity law deserves a spot on the Unesco list for "intangible cultural heritage". The law, called the 'Reinheitsgebot' in German, was introduced in Bavaria in 1516 and adopted nation-wide in 1906. It dictates that only water, malt, hops and yeast, and no flavourings or preservatives, may be used to make beer. "If Germany is still regarded as the undisputed beer nation, that is due to the Reinheitsgebot," said Hans-Georg Eils, president of the German Brewers Federation. Its acceptance to the world heritage list "would be for German brewers and maltsters a sign of appreciation and an incentive at the same time," Eils added.

Kiev Protests Draw Over 100,000 People To March Against Regime
Kiev Protests Draw Over 100,000 People To March Against Regime
  • Order:
  • Duration: 1:01
  • Updated: 01 Dec 2013
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — More than 100,000 demonstrators chased away police to rally in the center of Ukraine's capital on Sunday, defying a government ban on protests on Independence Square, in the biggest show of anger over the president's refusal to sign an agreement with the European Union. Thousands of demonstrators tried to storm the nearby presidential administration building, but were driven back by riot police using tear gas and flash grenades, which produce a loud bang but are not intended to cause injury. The standoff continued, with more demonstrators arriving. The protest was led by prominent opposition politicians, who demanded that President Viktor Yanukovych and his government resign. They also called for a nationwide strike and for tents to be set up to allow demonstrators to remain on the square around the clock. "Our plan is clear: It's not a demonstration, it's not a reaction. It's a revolution," said Yuriy Lutsenko, speaking from the top of a bus. Chants of "revolution" resounded across a sea of yellow and blue Ukrainian and EU flags on the square, where the government had prohibited rallies starting Sunday. The crowd was by far the largest since the protests began more than a week ago. Many of the demonstrators had traveled to Kiev from western Ukraine, where pro-EU sentiment is particularly strong. "We are furious," said Mykola Sapronov, a 62-year-old retired businessman. "The leaders must resign. We want Europe and freedom." Protests have been held daily in Kiev since Yanukovych backed away from an agreement that would have established free trade and deepened political cooperation between Ukraine and the EU. He justified the decision by saying that Ukraine could not afford to break trade ties with Russia. The EU agreement was to have been signed Friday and since then the protests have gained strength. Sunday's demonstration also was energized by anger over the violent dispersal of several hundred protesters at Independence Square early Saturday. Some of the protesters were left bleeding from their heads after riot police beat them with truncheons. "They want to take our freedom away from us," said Nina Moskalik, 25. "They beat people, they spill blood. This is why we have to come out." Yanukovych late Saturday condemned the use of force and promised to punish those responsible. As the vast column of demonstrators approached Independence Square on Sunday and swept away metal barriers from around a large Christmas tree set up in the center, all police left the square. About a dozen demonstrators then climbed the tree to hang EU and Ukrainian flags from its branches. Several hundred demonstrators never made it to the square. Along the way they burst into the Kiev city administration building and occupied it, in defiance of police, who tried unsuccessfully to drive them away by using tear gas. The EU agreement had been eagerly anticipated by Ukrainians who want their country of 45 million people to break out of Moscow's orbit. Opinion surveys in recent months showed about 45 percent of Ukrainians supporting closer integration with the EU and a third or less favoring closer ties with Russia.

Police throw tear gas at protesters as they approach a blockade at the government house in the Thai capital, injured are carried to safety. Full Story: Thai riot police on Monday threw tear gas at protesters gathered in front of Government House, in a push to topple Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra from power. Some protesters were injured in the battle with police, as they tried to make their way to the prime minister's office through heavy security. The protesters had set Sunday as "Victory Day" to oust the government, but failed to achieve their goal of seizing the prime minister's office at Government House or occupying state buildings. Police mostly held their lines, firing repeated rounds of tear gas and using water cannons against 30-thousand protesters, many of whom hurled rocks and petrol bombs. Yingluck was forced to flee to an undisclosed location. Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban has rejected offers to negotiate, and has extended the deadline for bringing down the government to Tuesday.

There are new allegations that chemical weapons have been used in Syria, this time near the capital Damascus in the Goutha region. As always, details about the alleged attack are unclear but there are suggestions that the nerve agent Sarin was used. Even estimates of the numbers killed vary wildly from dozens to more than 600. This video looks at the most recent attack and why there are always questions over the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

If you think this documentary was interesting and, you can support the project contributing with a donation (*): http://dadaabdoc.wix.com/dadaab SYNOPSIS Can a shelter become a prison? "We cannot leave the camp neither go back to our country nor prosper". At the same time, can a shelter become homeland? "In this place I grow myself, I studied, worked and became father. I feel home". This is a contradiction faced by refugees of the largest camp worldwide, Dadaab, in north-eastern Kenya. This is the case of Omar, Hassan and Mohamed, three Somalian young men who arrived to Dadaab in 1991, when the war started in Somalia and the camp was created. Their memories of their previous lives are reduced to some blurry images. In these two decades, they have become part of an incipient middle class, but despite that, their aim is to get one of the prized visas to start a new life in another country. While they think on leaving, 6.000 people arrive every month from Somalia. N-0 is one of the areas where new arrivals are settled and Mohamed Alí is its leader. For them, the camp means safety, but restarting life there is difficult either. A few of them leave; a lot arrive; all of them "hoping the best but prepared for the worst". * Making this documentary cost 12,000 euros, that the directors paid themselves. They did it because they thought it was necessary. From 2009 till nowadays, they have recovered 771 euros from their investment. In case we reach the money spent, the rest of the amount will be invested in a new project related on.​ You can support the project on our website.
