At least - five other Britons have been kidnapped here within the last year. HELP THE CHILDREN - UNICEF PLEADS UNITED NATIONS: The UN Children's Fund (UNI CEF), this week laun­ ched an appeal for 102 million dollars (about R204 million), to continue pro­ vid.ing emergency and rehabilitation assistance to women and children in 16 African countries. It said 25 million people were in need of external assistance due to continuing famine, the after effects of the 1983-85 drought, or because of severe economic crisis. The affected countries are: Angola, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chad, Ethiopia, Ghana, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Sao Tome, Sudan and Zambia. UNICEF Executive Director, James Grant said the money was necessary to meet urgent needs in the areas of health assistance, water supply and sup­ plementary feeding for severely malnourished children, provision of s\lrvival and relief teams as well as logistical support. CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST MARCOS MANILA: Criminal charges will be filed soon against deposed leader, Fer­ dinand Marcos as part of efforts to recover money he deposited abroad, a Government official said. Mr J ovito Saloriga, Minister for the Commission on Good Government, said the charges would be filed in order to comply with Swiss banking laws. The government in Berne has frozen Mr Marcos' numbered accounts and Swiss THE NEW FRENCH-made helicopter purchased by Water Affairs to replace the one which crashed last year. law requires the filing of criminal charges to justify the action.

But the Reagan Administration officials sajd it was unlikely Libya or associated guerrilla groups were responsible, despite threats of revenge by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. But speculation was rife among private US experts on the Middle East and on counter-terrorism that there was a connec­ tion with the US Navy's clash with Libya last week and the bomb blast. PILOfS CALL FOR BOYCOTT NEW YORK: Meanwhile in New York, the head of the International Pilots Association has called for pilots to boycott Libya, Iran and Syria and other nations the Association accuses of harbouring terrorists. Captain Tom Ashwood, head ofthe Airline Pilots Association that groups pilots from 60 nations, said in a US television interview that at the Associa­ tion's meeting in London next week, he would try to 'obtain a pilot boycott of what we consider offending nations'. Specifically mentioning Libya, Iran and Syria, he said 'We'll stop flying into those countries and we'll stop people flying out of them too'. He said it was necessary to take an offensive role 'and thatis what my organisa­ tion is doing right now. If the overnments are unable to do the task of isolating these people from the civilised world, isolating the Gaddafis and the people in Iran and Syri·a and other havens and training grounds for terrorists, we're going to do it for them', he said, adding that he hoped to gain support from shipping and other transport groups too.

FRIDAY April 4 1986 Yet another . 'permit' system for Namibia

THE RESIDENCE of Certain Persons in South West Africa Bill became law on April 1, and with it a tightening of control on the .. rl/...~/!I part of the interim government. . ' . l"'~ \ \ J The situation in Namibia at present is certamly not conducIve to'freedom of movement, and the latest introduction of a 'per­ ~ ~ mit' system for 'foreigners', is yet another in a long line of 'per­ mit' measures. Already we have the situation in six separate areas of Namibia where peqnits are needed for all except members of the particular 'ethnic' group entering their 'homeland'. There have been several . cases of people who have been refused permits to enter the several areas of Namibia where permits are required. In the Caprivi region, one needs not only a Police permit, but on arrival there have to apply for SADF permission to enter the area. Where there was once freedom of movement for residents of the north in the various areas, there are now stringent restrictions and curfews. And while one acknowledges the need of a government to Call for denial of landing rights to SA monitor the entry and exit of people into a country, the draco­ nian nature of this particular Act and its possible misuse against persons considered to be a 'threat to the security of the state', Stiffer sanctions push smacks of a lack of tolerance for human rights. The interim government have already shown they are carrying on the pattern of 'deportations' in the South African tradition, and this Act is no exception. in the United States But what is most frightening is the provision that in terms of the Act anyone, with the exception of born Namibians, Gover.n- . ment employees, and members of the SADF, can be summanly deported from the territory. This can, and probably will be used as a 'weapon' against political opponents, and critics of the pre­ sent dispensation. In terms of the Act, this is done if the interim government is of the opinion that 'such people are a threat to the · public order'. ' . . The interim government made a commItment to enforcmg a Bill of Fundamental Rights in Namibia. Until now, they have not done so, but have merely continued with measures which gained the South African Government its unpopularity with the Nami- bian people. -' . .

Part ·S - BASIC ENGLISH Programming view out of the window or watching what is happening DIFFERENT VERB FORMS in the street. Computers Over the last few weeks, we have been looking at some The -ing verb ending always comes after another part of different verb forms. We have seen the irregular verbs get the verb. This other part of the verb tells us when the ac­ their past tense forms in different ways from regular verbs. tion takes place. In our example sentences above, the other We have also seen that in the present tense we add on an parts of the verbs are 'was working " 'was doing', and -s to the verb when the subject of the sentence is he, she, 'were trying'. Was and were show that the action was hap­ or it. Today we will give attention to a different form of pening in the past. We can show how the tenses for con­ verbs. tinuous verbs work like this: The -ing verb ending I am working. In many s entence~ , we use verbs like these: You are working. Mr. Toolis WaS working for The Namibian. He/ she/it is working. Present tense He was doing a good job. We are working. The authorities were trying to get him out. They are working. The verbs in these sentences (working, doing, trying) all I was working', end with -ing. When we use this verb ending, we show that You were working. whatever was happening (or is happening now, or will be He/ she/ it was working. Past tense happening in the future), took some time to happen­ We were working. it didn't just happen very quickly orin no time at all, but They were working. it went on happening for a while.

Future tense Be drinks the water. We will be working. He is drinking the water. They will be working. She looks out of the window. One final point about verbs with -ing endings: We said She is looking out of the window. that these verbs always have the extra part (eg. is, was).

The information that we to pale yellow, a large, moist, light-coloured (not bright want to appear on the screen must appear after the word PRINT in in­ yellow) vent, has pelvic bones that are thin and soft, with verted commas.

,GeORGE, MICHAEL BRITAIN'S enduring pop star, Cliff Richard, filled the top spot Of the British pop singles chart for the second consecutive week with a remake of his 1959 hit Liv­ ingDoll. Richard, 45, redid his crooner tune with the Young Ones, an alternative comedy quartet, and the profits have been earmarked to go toward famine relief in Africa. Another 1959 hit, Peter Gunn by guitarist Duane Eddy, moved up three places to No 7. The theme song of the old US television series of the same name, has been remade, this time with the Art Of Noise. Yet another old favourite, Wonderful World by the late Sam Cooke, continued its race up the .i~·QUEEYl charts, moving from No 11 to No 2.
