| 49 dead, more than 600 injured as Argentina train slams into station Posted: 22 Feb 2012 09:25 AM PST BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA (BNO NEWS) -- At least 49 people were killed on Wednesday when a packed commuter train slammed into the end of the line in Buenos Aires' busy Once station, officials said. More than 600 others were injured. The train derailed after hitting the barrier at the end of the platform at Once station in the Argentina capital, killing 49 people and leaving more than 600 others injured. Several others were still trapped inside the train on early Wednesday afternoon, the El Clarín newspaper reported. The most critically injured were rushed to hospitals throughout the capital and nearby cities, while paramedics were also treating scores of victims at the scene of the disaster. Survivors said that many people were injured in a jumble of metal and glass. Transport Secretary Juan Pablo Schiavi said the train failed to stop at the lights and collided into the platform. He said the train, which was carrying more than 800 passengers on their daily commute, was traveling at 20 kilometers (12 miles) per hour when the accident occurred. The head of the city's emergency services, Alberto Crescenti, said the number of casualties could increase. It is the country's worst rail disaster since February 1970 when two trains collided north of Buenos Aires, killing more than 140 people and leaving 360 others injured. In September 2011, at least eleven people were killed and more than 200 others were injured when two passenger trains and a bus collided in Buenos Aires province. It was followed by an accident in November when a freight train collided with a school bus in central Argentina, killing eight people. (Copyright 2012 by BNO News B.V. All rights reserved.

| Philippines lifts ban on Europe-bound nannies Posted: 22 Feb 2012 09:15 AM PST MANILA (BNO NEWS) -- The Philippines on Wednesday lifted a ban on sending domestic helpers to all European countries after new protection guidelines were issued, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said. The DFA said that the new guidelines are meant to facilitate the departure of the "au pairs" and at the same time to provide them safety nets and protection. A strict monitoring system will be put in place at all Philippine embassies and consulates in Europe for the protection of Filipino au pairs, the Philippine Star reported. Au pairs are unmarried Filipinos between 18 and 30 who are placed under a cultural exchange arrangement with a European host family for a maximum stay of two years. Under the scheme, the au pairs live with the host family on an equal basis and shall be given pocket money because they help with child care and light household chores. Under the guidelines, procedures for the departure of au pairs have been simplified and documentary requirements down to the minimum. Secretary Albert del Rosario advised prospective au pairs not to go to third parties since the procedures have been simplified at the least cost for the Filipino workers. The DFA said that the ban was imposed in 1998 due to isolated cases of abuse of the system and reports of mistreatment. In 2010, the ban was lifted for Switzerland, Norway and Denmark.
