4) This week's summary of under-reported news

Compiled by Bob Nixon

* The European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, has proposed a U.S.-style plan to fingerprint all foreign travelers entering the continent. If enacted, tens of millions of names would be recorded into shared global databases.

* Canadian filmmaker Rob Stewart has produced a documentary which brings attention to illegal shark "finning" -- which involves cutting off sharks' fins and selling the fins through an underground network to Asia, where shark fin is a luxury food item.

* A UCLA health study on youth and tobacco has raised conflict of interest issues over funding by tobacco giant Philip Morris.
