Mother of Iraq hostage speaks

Avril Sweeney, whose son Peter Moore was abducted in 2007, wants high-profile Foreign Office campaign for his release
The mother of a British man held hostage in Iraq for more than two years has called on the Foreign Office to launch a high-profile campaign pressing for the release of her son and his fellow captives, expressing frustration at the government’s low-key approach.
Avril Sweeney, 53, said she had argued with the Foreign Office over its insistence of minimal publicity around the continued imprisonment of Peter Moore and two of his security guards, even after the bodies of two other guards were dumped in Baghdad last month.
“I’ve had arguments with the Foreign Office, I have felt frustrated,” said Sweeney, who describes the hostages as “forgotten men”. “They [the Foreign Office] wanted us to keep everything so low-key but that didn’t feel right to me. But if someone gets kidnapped abroad you have to rely on them [and] hope that they are doing the right thing.”
Moore, 35, an IT specialist, is being held along with two men who have not been officially named. The bodies of Jason Cresswell, 39, and Jason Swindlehurst, 38, were handed to the British embassy in Baghdad on 19 June. Both had been shot weeks or months before.
“After I found out that the two Jasons were dead, it did panic me,” said Sweeney. “But when I had a chance to calm down and reason about why the terrorists would do this, I thought in their culture this is probably a goodwill gesture to give the bodies back to their families. It’s not our culture but it was a goodwill gesture.”
Sweeney, from Blackpool, added: “But it made me think, I have had enough of this, I’ve got to get a message to him.”
Her message is simple: “Peter, you’ve never been forgotten.
“No one’s ever forgotten you. Peter, if you see this message, hopefully we will be seeing you soon.”
On Wednesday 29 May 2007, Moore was installing computer software at the finance ministry in Baghdad that would help track billions of dollars that were unaccounted for. Up to 100 men raided the offices, abducting Moore and four British security guards.
It is believed that for the past two years the men have been held separately with no contact with each other.
From the start, the Foreign Office insisted on a low-profile approach, refusing to release the names of the hostages. A high media profile was “no guarantee of success and there are often grounds to think it can worsen the situation”, according to an official.
Sweeney described her son as “a big guy” who “likes his food” and she was shocked by the first video of him, released by his kidnappers 10 months after his capture. “He looked absolutely terrible. He had lost so much weight. He had big black rings around his eyes. He looked really awful.”
A more recent video sent to the British embassy in Baghdad in May reassured his mother. “On it, he looks great. He has put on weight … and he says we are all coming home soon.”
His mother thinks he will cope with whatever he has to face. “Peter won’t go to pieces. I think after the initial shock he would be intelligent and strong enough to pull himself through. I don’t know how he is coping over the last two years but he is strong and clever. He will be strong enough to bear it.
“I still feel he will be released. How long, I don’t know. Terrorists don’t have time limits, do they? They can wait and wait until they get what they want. I don’t know if it matters what the Foreign Office does, it doesn’t matter what the media do. The only time they will be freed is when they want to do it, I suppose.”
Moore was born when Sweeney was 18, the son of a troubled and soon-to-be estranged marriage. Sweeney remarried, but that relationship ended too, and she moved out of the family home when Peter was 12. Mother and son have not lived together since.
“He was 12, he had his friends, he was happy at school, he didn’t want to leave and come with me,” she said. “He was a very independent boy. A very strong and independent boy and that’s what I think will help him through all this.”
Moore was then raised by his step-parents, Pauline and Patrick Sweeney, who have also appealed publicly through the BBC for his release.
Sweeney remembers her son as having an early aptitude with computers. “He got his first job in computers working for an American lady who opened a computer shop in Lincoln. I remember her saying how brilliant he was at the computer thing. So he had to go off and get his qualifications.”
Moore was also an adventurer, signing up for the Voluntary Service Overseas, which sent him to Guyana to work in the IT department of a college of education.
Periodically he would turn up at Sweeney’s home on his motorbike. “One Easter, he turned up at my door in his big black helmet, black leather jacket and frightened the life out of me. He stands there like Schwarzenegger, takes his helmet off , and I just said well come on then, let’s go for a ride, and that was it. He loves his motorbike. It is a big thing for him. He was very much a free spirit.”

Baby P report: staff need training to spot abuse
July 15th, 2009 |
No Comments
Many NHS doctors and nurses are inadequately prepared to spot and act upon signs of child abuse or neglect, a damning report on the aftermath of the Baby P scandal warns.
The detailed survey by the Care Quality Commission exposes a failure inside the health service even among some paediatric specialists and GPs to get to grips with the challenges of safeguarding children.
It says many clinicians have not received up-to-date mandatory training in child protection, while health visitors are overwhelmed by excessive case loads.
The review was ordered after it emerged that NHS staff in Haringey, north London, including some employed by Great Ormond Street children’s hospital, saw Baby Peter, as he is now known, on 35 separate occasions in his short life and, on all but one occasion, failed to realise he was in danger.
Highlighting the inadequate response by health trusts, Cynthia Bower, the commission’s chief executive, said: “Immediately after the Baby P tragedy, everyone agreed that everything possible must be done to prevent a recurrence. This must not prove to be hollow rhetoric. The NHS has got to play its part by getting these safeguarding measures in place.
“It is clear that safeguarding has not been as high on the agenda of trust boards as it should have been … In some cases NHS staff have not been given the support they need in terms of training and clear procedures for handling concerns. If that were to change, it would be an appropriate legacy for Baby Peter.”
The 17-month-old Baby Peter, who had been also monitored by social workers and police, was seen by a consultant paediatrician, Sabah Al-Zayyat, two days before he died in Haringey in early 2007. She had not been not given the full picture of Peter’s history before the examination, although a subsequent internal Great Ormond Street inquiry said she should have identified his injuries as signs of abuse.
After he died, Peter was found to have serious injuries including a broken back and fractured ribs. His mother, her boyfriend and a lodger were later sentenced for causing or allowing the child’s death.
The report says that only 54% of eligible NHS staff have received basic child protection training, a “worryingly low” proportion. According to the inspectors, in 20 of the primary care trusts surveyed, as few as 10% of GPs were up-to-date with what was said to be a “basic” level of training.
On health visitors, the investigation discovered that 29 out of 152 primary care trusts were dealing with caseloads of more than 500 children each, “well above [the] recommendation of 400″.
Among other findings were that only 37% of trusts have a dedicated budget for training staff in child protection issues, while 65% of GPs either do not have appropriate training or there is no data to say whether they do or don’t. Only 58% of A&E or urgent care staff have adequate training in child protection.
Last year about one in 10 GP consultations were with children aged 14 or under; nearly three million children under 16 attend A&E departments ever year.
In 2008-09, the year that the Baby P scandal erupted, more NHS trusts did admit that they could not comply with national core standards – one of which deals with child protection. The numbers declaring compliance fell marginally from nearly 97% to 94% – suggesting a slight increase in self-criticism.
More than one in 10 trusts “did not appear to comply with the statutory requirement to carry out criminal records bureau checks for all staffemployed since 2002,” the report said. “We are particularly concerned with the large proportion of trusts that do not have a process for following up children who miss outpatient appointments.”
Commenting on the findings, Jo Webber, deputy director of policy at the NHS Confederation, said: “Despite the progress many NHS organisations have made, and the commitment of individuals working in the health service, there is clearly much more that can be done to make sure children are protected properly. This means promoting a culture of questioning amongst staff.”
The Liberal Democrat health spokesman, Norman Lamb, said: “It’s disgraceful that some parts of the NHS are still failing to comply with basic child protection requirements like carrying out criminal record checks on staff.”
The health secretary, Andy Burnham, said: “I want trusts and PCTs to use this report to support a coordinated programme of action to assure and sustain essential levels of safeguarding in activities relating to children.”

Has a misplaced childhood enthusiasm for cooking ruined any dishes for you? Is anyone brave enough to try making the Blue Peter scone pizza (pdf)?
I hate pizza. There, I said it and I am glad to finally get it off my chest. The decline in sales of this particular fast food are, to me, long overdue.
The key ingredients of dough, tomatoes, cheese, olive oil and a bit of herbage are benign enough, and in other similar combinations, like Welsh rarebit, Turkish pide or simple cheese on toast, can be rather lovely. But there is something about pizza that just, quite frankly, makes me a little nauseous.
I know it’s my fault and that there is nothing inherently wrong with pizza, but even when friends have persuaded me to try what they claim are perfect examples of the genre, I can’t help but think that the results are really rather grim and reminiscent of snot on toast.
Like so many things, it comes down to faulty personal wiring connected in childhood, and in the case of pizza I can trace it to one particular day and right back to the very first thing I ever tried to cook for myself.
Back in the early 1970s, a rainy Saturday afternoon’s entertainment usually involved watching Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks circle each other in a wrestling ring as old ladies waved their handbags. Or even more wretchedly, watching the racing on Grandstand until Final Score at 5pm where I could see to whom Rotherham United had lost.
One day however, my older sister Auriel came up with a novel suggestion, and, waving a copy of the latest Blue Peter annual, announced that we were going to spend the afternoon cooking. I was already a bit of a bloater at this point and the notion that I could learn how to make my own food so it was always readily available appealed no end. So I quickly donned a fetching pinny of my mother’s and joined Auriel at the kitchen table where she was assembling some ingredients.
Our recipe for the day was a scone pizza, which the good folk at Blue Peter have dug out for me to share with you all (pdf). It’s a fairly straightforward concoction comprising a self-raising flour dough that can be cooked in the oven or in a frying pan and then covered with toppings before being grilled until ready to serve.
The ingredients are very much of their day, as is the recommendation that “any hard fat will do, but don’t use soft margarine” and the use of “a little extra fat for cooking”. This being Blue Peter in the golden era days of Auntie Val, Peter P and Noaksey, there are reminders to “use a chopping board” and ask an adult to help if “you are not allowed to use a stove yet”.
My mother was quite sanguine about the whole thing and watched with pride as we made the dough and popped it in the oven to cook. She looked considerably less happy when we decided that we were not going to use a selection from the Blue Peter list of toppings as recommended, but were, indeed, going to use them all. We proceeded to layer the cooked scone with a towering pile of onion rings, tinned tomatoes, chutney, corned beef and, in place of sardines, the entire contents of a tin of pilchards.
The image of the end result remains with me to this day. At the time it was reminiscent of a natural disaster on John Craven’s Newsround, as the toppings slid slowly down the sides of the unevenly risen dough like lava down the sides of Mount Etna, forming a slick of sauce around the diameter of the burnt edifice.
It looked disgusting, and even though both Auriel and myself were very fond of our grub, we both shied away from it as if it were bath night in scone form as my mother made clucking noises about all that good food going to waste. She need not have worried, however – we’d forgotten about The Human Dustbin, my older brother Robin. Returning from an afternoon listening to “Tales From Topographic Oceans” with his mate Pete Smith, he announced himself “starving” and devoured the whole misshapen mess in one noisy sitting before lifting the plate up to his face and licking the last drops of pilchard juice with a loud, appreciative smack of the lips.
I am not sure if it was our own culinary atrocity or having to watch Robin eat it, but pizza hasn’t appealed to me since. I’d love to know what the first thing you ever cooked was, and how it turned out – was it a scintillating success, or such a disaster that it frightened you off an entire food group? And if you (or your kids) fancy having a go at the Blue Peter scone pizza, do share the results.

Having tea with Russia’s Deripaska
July 15th, 2009 |
No Comments
Russian billonaire, Oleg Deripaska, normally tries to avoid the media spotlight. But Tim Whewell was able to spend some time with him and gain an insight into his life.
Having spent a couple of days in the company of the 164th (until recently ninth) richest person in the world, I can report that he knows an awful lot about the properties of silver foil, plans to make Russia into a nation of white-van lovers, and is partial, late of an evening, to a cup of special Siberian herbal tea.
I can report nothing about the view from his spectacular yacht, the Queen K, where he famously entertained Lord Mandelson, the speed of his private jet, or the furnishings in any of his many homes – because that was not the "vulgar" subject matter the Aluminium King of Russia, Oleg Deripaska, had in mind when he invited me on a private tour of his empire.
No. We were going to roll up our sleeves, put on our safety glasses and hard hats – and talk production.
We were interested in the source of wealth, not its trappings.
In the 85% automation level on the assembly line at GAZ, his car plant at Nizhny Novgorod on the Volga – the 3,200 welding spots on his latest model, the Volga Siber – the accuracy on his quality control apparatus of one micron – a thousandth of a millimetre, the 415,000 amp current that electrolyses the alumina at his smelter in Sayanogorsk in southern Siberia – do not stand too close – and the scorching 730 degrees Celsius inside the furnace.
These are statistics to conjure with, not those you may have heard before about Mr Deripaska – how he was worth $28bn (£17.5bn) last year and only $3.5bn (£2.1bn) now.
In any case, he disputes those figures.
He never had anything like as much as they say, and anyway, he parries jovially as we sit back in his company’s Swiss-style chalet high in the Sayan Mountains, do I know how much money I have got
Touche! I am stuck.
On the one hand, I feel a certain moral obligation to stand up for that portion of the world’s population that does need to keep abreast of its financial affairs.
On the other hand, do I really want my new friend to think I am some kind of Fagin, sitting up half the night over piles of pennies
Mineral exploration
From this you will probably have gathered that Mr Deripaska and I quickly established an easy, bantering relationship.
He not only looks much younger than his 41 years, he is positively boyish in his energy and enthusiasms.
And so we bound down the assembly line at GAZ discussing axles and suspension, touching on the benefits of the Toyota Management System, debating why Britain lets its engineering talent go to waste.
Later in the week, four time-zones to the east, he diverts his helicopter to take me low over the breath-taking Sayano-Shushenskaya dam, once the highest in the world, the source of all those amps in the smelter.
All the time he is pointing down excitedly at the spruce-covered hillsides, telling me what geologists might find next under Siberia.
He has cornered the market in aluminium, but that is not enough. Down there is copper. Further on, molybdenum.
The helicopter’s nice, furnished with cream leather sofas. But we are asked not to film it. For security reasons and also, you will remember, because that is not the kind of thing we are interested in on this trip.
He tells me about all the extra trees he is going to plant around his factory, down where the mountains meet the bare steppe. He tells me about the computers he is giving to schools.
Becoming friends
Only late at night in the chalet – and Mr Deripaska likes late nights – do we turn briefly to darker, more emotional matters.
"Why," he asks suddenly and insistently, "do the British press hate Peter Mandelson so much"
And again I am stuck. Because while I can think of many possible answers to this question – all intriguing enough to occupy a happy hour over a pint down at my local – I am talking now to Peter’s friend, a guy I am trying to bond with.
And so we return to the subject of whether his light commercial vehicle, the Gazelle, could have been improved by technology from the British firm he once owned, LDV.
I will be honest. I am not very interested in vans.
But I liked Oleg Deripaska.
I liked his teasing grin. I liked his ready laughter. And I appreciated his delicacy in not wining and dining me.
Our trip to Siberia was good for both our reputations – because, in these stern days of expense-related scandals, I have almost nothing to declare – only his herbal tea, the master-class in foil making, the unforgettable swoop in the helicopter – oh, and a tiny souvenir ingot of the first aluminium from his smelter.
As for a journey on a gigantic yacht – as Frank Sinatra almost sang in "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" – I am so glad I did not.

Conductor dies at Swiss suicide clinic
July 14th, 2009 |
No Comments
Sir Edward Downes, who conducted first Sydney Opera House performance, ends life with wife, Joan, in Switzerland
One of Britain’s most respected conductors, Sir Edward Downes, and his wife, Joan, a choreographer and TV producer, have died at an assisted suicide clinic in Switzerland, their family said today.
Downes, 85, was almost blind when he and his 74-year-old wife, who had become his full-time carer, travelled to Switzerland to end their lives, a family statement released to the BBC said.
Born in Birmingham, Downes had a long and distinguished career, including conducting the first performance at the Sydney Opera House. He worked with the BBC Philharmonic and the Royal Opera House in London.
The statement from the couple’s son and daughter, Caractacus and Boudicca, said they “died peacefully, and under circumstances of their own choosing”.
The statement continued: “After 54 happy years together, they decided to end their own lives rather than continue to struggle with serious health problems.”
The couple died at a clinic run by Dignitas, the Swiss organisation that operates a specialist euthanasia service.
The Downes family said: “Our father, who was 85 years old, almost blind and increasingly deaf, had a long, vigorous and distinguished career as a conductor.
“Our mother, who was 74, started her career as a ballet dancer and subsequently worked as a choreographer and TV producer before dedicating the last years of her life to working as our father’s personal assistant.
“They both lived life to the full and considered themselves to be extremely lucky to have lived such rewarding lives, both professionally and personally.”
Downes was knighted in 1991.A Metropolitan police spokesman said Greenwich CID had launched an investigation.
“We continue to investigate the circumstances of their deaths. [There are] no further details at this stage,” he said.
In the past, police have investigated cases in which British people have travelled to the Dignitas clinic. Anyone assisting a person to commit suicide could face up to 14 years in prison.
Prosecutors have not pushed forward cases against families and friends of the growing numbers of Britons who have travelled to Dignitas to die, however, and there is fierce debate about whether the law should be changed to protect people from prosecution.
Last December, the Crown Prosecution Service announced it would take no action against the family of 23-year-old Daniel James, who travelled to Switzerland to die after being paralysed from the chest down in a rugby accident.
The police did not investigate the deaths earlier this year of Peter and Penelope Duff, who became the first terminally ill British couple to be helped to die together in Switzerland.
Last week, the House of Lords voted against an attempt by the former lord chancellor Lord Falconer to relax the law on assisted suicide. His amendment to the coroners and justice bill would have allowed people to help someone with a terminal illness travel to a country where assisted suicide is legal.
Debbie Purdy, who has multiple sclerosis, is seeking to clarify the law in the House of Lords. She wants a ruling that her husband will not be prosecuted if he helps her travel abroad to die.
Some people fear that relaxing the law on assisted suicide would lead to an increase in cases, and put people at risk of being pushed into taking their own lives. Gordon Brown is against a change in the law.

We’re an attacking side and we’ve got to play our natural game, we can’t just play for a draw. It’s going to take someone to get a hundred, or maybe a couple of us, to save the day."
England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff
BBC Sport’s Tom Fordyce on Twitter:"Sunshine in Cardiff. Shadows all over the place. If anything’s going to save England, it’ll be partnerships not precipitation."

This is a very average Australian team but as usual they bring it to the opposition hard despite their limited talents."
