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.

AUDIO INFORMATION:

"Between The Lines" is a half-hour syndicated radio news magazine that each
week features a summary of under-reported news stories and interviews with
activists and journalists who offer progressive perspectives on international, national and regional political, economic and social issues. Because "Between The Lines" is independent of all publications, media networks or political parties, we are able to bring a diversity of voices to the airwaves generally ignored or marginalized by the major media.
