This week's stories come from Spanish National Radio, Radio Netherlands, Radio Deutsche Welle, the Voice of Russia, and Radio Havana Cuba.

From Spanish National Radio- the Mexican government, under pressure from human rights groups, is opening files on citizens who were politically disappeared; the India\/Pakistan summit ended without an agreement, yet was a step forward in relations.

From Radio Netherlands- a former Columbian Ambassador to the E.U. is arrested for forming right-wing paramilitary units; labor unions have called for another strike in Ecuador; and Bush Jr won't impose Helms-Burton sanctions against foreign investors in Cuba.

From Radio Deutsche Welle- a press review of how the press will cover the G-8 summit; a report from Man and Environment on the UN Climate Conference in Bonn, focusing on US college students making a presentation to the Conference.

From the Voice of Russia a commentary on last week's Star Wars Missle test.

From Radio Havana Cuba- Scott Ritter, former UN weapons Inspector in Iraq, says Iraq has been disarmed since 1995, and that since 1998 the UN mission has been a US spy mission; Bush Jr says anti-global protestors are condemning underdeveloped countries to poverty; the NY Times releases a report on the US election results last fall; and a viewpoint on the return of the Sandanista National Liberation Front in Nicaragua.

All these stories plus times and frequencies for English-language broadcasts. I invite your questions and comments, and those of your audience. It's exciting to hear from you.
