Failure to make tangible progress in the talks, set to take place in Moscow this week, increase pressure from Israel and its supporters in US Congress on President Barack Obama to give up diplomacy and make the threat of a US military attack more credible.

"If negotiations collapse now, it is hard to know what Calling for a "go big" approach Instead, the six powers in Baghdad offered only a pledge not to seek additional sanctions, help with security aspects of Iran's nuclear facilities, and lifting a US embargo on spare parts for Iran's civilian aircraft.

He confirmed that the US, long the world's largest weapons exporter, has already seen more than 50 billion dollars in government-to-government mili- Difficult to estimate Many have cautioned that the US defence trade is notoriously difficult to estimate, given the numerous ways available to calculate the figure. If the Moscow meeting does not produce such an accord, they wrote, "...we urge you to reevaluate the utility of further talks at this time and instead focus on significantly increasing the pressure on the Iranian government through sanctions and making clear that a credible military option exists." But virtually all Iran experts here believe that Iran will not agree to those demands a variation of which it already rejected during the second round of talks in Baghdad last month unless it gets key concessions from the other side. These include formal recognition by the P5+1 of Iran's right to enrich uranium under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the easing or delay of far-reaching Western financial and oil-related sanctions designed to cripple its economy. WASHINGTON, DC. BY JIM LOBE IPS ON THE eve of a third round of critical talks between Iran and the P5+1 group the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany on Tehran's nuclear programme, optimism about a breakthrough is hard to come by. "This represents at least a 20-billion-dollar increase over fiscal year 2011, and we still have more than a quarter of the fiscal year left," Shapiro said, speaking with reporters. "It's no longer just our ambassadors who promote US security cooperation abroad. ple, a bipartisan group of 44 senators sent a letter no doubt drafted in consultation with the leading Israel lobby group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to Obama demanding an end to the negotiations if Iran fails to agree to "immediately" shut down its Fordo uranium facility, freeze all uranium enrichment above five per cent, and ship all uranium enriched above five per cent out of the country. Insisting that the "current step-by-step approach ... It's time to act before it's too late." While, according to recent polling, proposing a new war is hardly a popular position at the moment, the intent appears to be to prepare the ground for failure in Moscow and move the public debate in an ever more hawkish direction. This fiscal year will be at least 70 per cent greater." Observers noted the administration's evident pride at the high numbers. "An Obama arms bazaar is going on this is further evidence of that," Jeff Abramson, director of Control Arms, an international civil-society alliance based in Washington, explained. Its message: "Talking isn't working. The latest figures are particularly buoyed by two contracts, with Saudi Arabia and Japan. Selling to countries such as Saudi Arabia, people need to ask whether the US is living up to its promises on rights obligations." Shapiro, who noted that the US only allows a sale "after we carefully examine issues like human rights", spoke a week after the launch of the newest edition of the 655 Report, an annual compilation of defence products and services authorised for export.

I think human rights issues should trump those concerns. State Department officials advocate on behalf of the US bidders on foreign government and foreign military procurements," Shapiro said. The Japanese sale, also for fighter aircraft, is worth around 10 billion dollars. Some analysts both within the administration and outside it believe the current step-by-step approach of seeking reciprocal confidence-building measures is wrong-headed and are instead calling for a "go big" approach. One variation of the latter was put forward in The New Republic Friday by Dennis Ross, who oversaw Iran policy at the White House until late last year and remains influential from his new perch at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), an AIPAC spin-off. Their editorial followed last week's release by the Emergency Committee for Israel, another well-endowed Kristol initiative, of a 30-second TV ad set to air during major-league baseball games this weekend, on Sunday talk shows, and in key state markets next week. lends itself too much to a dilatory process" that will make an Israeli attack increasingly likely, Ross's essay, entitled Calling Iran's Bluff, argued Washington should instead put a "comprehensive proposal to the Iranians" one designed to address the "ultimate goal" of the negotiations: "determining whether Iran is willing to accept that its nuclear program must be credibly limited in a way that precludes it from being able to turn civil nuclear power into nuclear weapons." Neo-conservatives Most outspoken, as usual, are the hawks, particularly neo-conservatives who led the drumbeat for war against Iraq after 9/11. Thus, the latest issue of the Weekly Standard led with an exhortation by Bill Kristol, the magazine's editor and co-founder of the Project for the New American Centu- Less overtly hawkish forces Certainly, less overtly hawkish forces are already moving along that trajectory. Shapiro, an assistant secretary in the US State Department, said on Thursday. A similar agreement is in the offing with Australia, while new export plans being pushed by President Barack Obama's administration could facilitate weapons sales to a host of other countries. Expanded marketplace While old allies continue to form a backbone of US military sales, Washington diplomats appear to be engaging in a campaign to land lucrative arms deals with a host of rising economies. "This administration has made defence trade an economic rather than just a security issue part of the agenda in terms of keeping the US economy going. Several point to a lower number of 30 billion dollars worth of actual transfers, rather than the larger sales number, not all of which may ultimately take place.

In a major priority for the US government today, Shapiro noted that the Saudi Ara- bia deal alone would support more than 50,000 jobs. The United States also recently concluded a firstof-its-kind military trade agreement with the United Kingdom, aimed at easing the bureaucratic red tape that typically surrounds US military deals

Although that trend has now changed somewhat, high levels of income tax in Finland may still provide a disincentive for foreign managerial talent.

Yelp does not reveal how the trustworthiness of reviews is calculated, but the service only automatically shows those reviews classified as reliable.

According to Lilja, multinational companies and corporate mergers are a natural route from Finland to the international stage.

Fifty per cent of all reviews are for restaurants and shopping places, but Yelp also has reviews about hotels, museums, dentists and electricians.

The Vantaankoski train track will undergo construction work until the end of July. The area around Kalasatama Metro station is scheduled to be completed by 2021. Tram and train tracks under construction Tram traffic is also experiencing its share of diversions this summer. You can choose the number of days during which your ticket is valid, from 1 to 7 days. You can fi nd the timetable on the HSL website at www.hsl.fi /en and the programme on the Korjaamo website at www.korjaamo.fi /en.. Tickets are available at Rkiosks, VR booking offices, Stockmann department stores, K-Citymarkets, Prisma stores, The Helsinki City Tourist Office, Tourist information at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, HSL's service points at the Central Railway Station and in Itäkeskus and Pasila, as well as Citizens' Offices in Espoo and Vantaa. The renovation work to the Tilkka Bridge will affect the route of tram 10 for about two weeks from 7 July. You can also choose the area for which you need a ticket. Singlecharge cards are not personal, meaning they can be used by anyone in possession of the card. Extensive bridgeworks at Kalasatama will interrupt Metro traffic in the city centre for nine days in July. The Metro will not operate between Kulosaari and Ruoholahti from 14 through 22 July. Helsinki's future tram is also environmentally friendly. In addition, Roihuvuori and Laajasalo can be reached by buses that depart from Hakaniemi. HKL has planned the tram in close cooperation with different user groups. The tram's programme is produced by Korjaamo. The work will cause changes to timetables and departure platforms for Mtrains. Several bus lines run from the Central Railway Station to Sörnäinen, and Sörnäinen can also be reached by buses 55, 55A, 65A and 66A, as well as tram 6. In the city centre, many alternative connections are available. The Culture Tram operates from noon to 4 pm from Wednesday to Friday. The prototype is shorter than the final wagon, but other than that, lifesized. It consumes less energy than usual when moving, and the large amount of energy released during braking is used to heat the wagon in the winter. Culture Tram now a line of its own The Culture Tram now runs as line 5, and has its own route from Töölön halli to Hakaniemi via Kamppi and the Central Railway Station. Also, tram 8 runs from Töölö to Ruoholahti. Some trains will only run from Helsinki to Myyrmäki, and others will be cancelled. Travel with a day ticket for a whole week A day ticket loaded on a single-charge card is handy if you need to make several journeys on one day or over several days. There are single zone tickets, regional tickets and 2-zone and 3-zone extended regional tickets. The related relocation of the Metro Bridge is the reason behind disruptions to Metro traffic. In contrast to elsewhere in Europe, currently only few signs of deceleration of economic activities are apparent, Nordea's economists claim. Länsiterminaali (West Terminal) can be reached by bus 15A. Buses will be running on Sörnäisten rantatie, but not on Hämeentie. The tram will only run to Kuusitie, from where there is a bus connection, 10X, to Pikku Huopalahti. -HT-STT Construction work diverts rail traffic This summer, construction work around the city will divert tram, commuter train and Metro traffic. Connections to eastern Helsinki will be replaced with buses. The prototype of the new wagon is on show at the HI Design exhibition at The Cable Factory throughout the summer. The Culture Tram is a joint project of HSL, Helsinki City Transport HKL and Korjaamo Culture Factory. Near the Opera house, at the intersection of Mannerheimintie and Runeberginkatu, track work will be carried out during 713 July. Buses 20, 21V, 65A and 66A will run between the city centre and Ruoholahti, as will Espoo buses leaving from the Kamppi Terminal. Next year, the economy is expected to grow at an accelerated rate of 1.6 per cent. You can jump onboard anywhere along the route for the fare of a normal tram ride. The tramlines on Mannerheimintie will be diverted to Runeberginkatu, and tram 8 will run from Töölö to Urheilutalo via Nordenskiöldinkatu. The growth of gross domestic product, meanwhile, will mitigate to 0.8 per cent. Nordea lowered the projections due to the prolonged feeble eurozone development. Construction work on the centre of the new Kalasatama neighbourhood is being pre- pared. Singlecharge cards are also sold on Silja Serenade and Silja Symphony passenger ferries. Latest tram model on display New trams will be introduced to Helsinki, and the first of these will be seen on the streets as early as next year. From the Central Railway Station, bus 99 will run to Itäkeskus and bus 99B to Herttoniemi. HI Design is a part of the World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 programme. Wagons will be manufactured by Transtech, a Finnish manufacturer of rolling stock. The tickets are available separately for adults and children (aged 7-16 years). Live performances can be followed on the circuit starting from the Töölön halli stop on Mannerheimintie at 3 pm on these days. People departing from the terminal should remember that buses 15 and 15V do not connect to the Metro in Ruoholahti during 14-22 July. Tax increases, similarly, hamper growth
