Tuesday's Hindu had two headliner articles side by side, one on the Iran election situation (probe ordered into poll fraud charges) and one on the BRIC/SCO meetings in Yekaterinburg. The Iran article had "Ahmadinejad puts off Russia visit" and calls the trip a "visit for a regional conference". The BRIC/SCO article said "Yekaterinburg will also mark the re-entry of Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fresh from an election victory the West regards as tainted".
Perhaps the two stories should be more aware of each other. The Iran article could have said visit for the BRIC/SCO conferences (see adjoining article)" . And the BRIC/SCO article should certainly have been updated to reflect Ahmed's travails.

Today's news had British Airways asking staff to work for free voluntarily for upto a month due to its serious financial travails and leading from the front the CEO and CFO are working for free in July. I find it infuriating. People who get paid a lot less are in much less of a position to forgo a month's pay. The CEO and CFO should forgo a year's pay and ask others to forgo a month's pay -- that seems more appropriate
