Professor John Beddington, who is the British governments chief scientific adviser, believes that without deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, average temperatures could rise by about 6C in the next 50 years in countries such as Spain, Italy and Greece, making their cities unbearably hot in summer. This could potentially trigger a wave of migrants to the cooler regions of the British Isles and Scandinavia, Prof Beddington believes.

He said reform would con- tinue over the next couple of years and said that while immediate term savings needed to be achieved, it needed to be recognised that the public service is not sustainable in the long term. About 100,000 people took to the streets in eight towns and cities across the country on Friday to vent their anger at proposed cuts in pay and services, as trade union chiefs warned the Government that work- ers would continue to fight against further cutbacks. Mr Cowen said the Government was in discussions with unions as to how to make these savings. He admitted changes in services could not come overnight, but that reform should not be seen as an at- tack on public services, but about making it more affordable, efficient and effective. Meanwhile, weekend reports claim the Governments plan to press ahead with an agreement for the 1.3billion cut in public sector pay- bill is being hampered by internal divisions within the unions. Civil service unions are refusing to accept any cuts, while the Government said it will proceed with a 6.85 per cent cut if there is no agreement. Separate reports suggest unions are facing a backlash from members, as negotiators concede there is no way of avoiding the cuts. Freed aid workers given new awardFREED aid worker Sharon Commins (pictured) has been honoured with a humanitarian award for her work. The 32- year-old Dubliner and her Ugandan colleague Hilda Kawuki were held captive for 107 days in war-torn Sudan. Four Irish aid agencies nominated the pair, who were released last month, to receive the first Hugh OFlaherty International Humanitarian Award, named after Monsignor OFlaherty who helped save over 6,500 people in Italy during World War II. Goals John OShea said he was honoured colleagues in Trcaire and Concern nominated Sharon and Hilda. lotto winners will share 102million TWO ticketholders in the UK have come forward to claim their half of a 102million jackpot in last Fridays Euromillions draw.

Mr Cowens comments on RT Radios This Week programme were described as laughable by Fine Gael, with spokesman Richard Bru- ton saying Fianna Fil were directly responsible for the most dysfunc- tional aspects of the public sector, referring to the decentralisation de- bacle, benchmarking and the HSE. So to hear the Taoiseachs eleventh hour call for fundamental reform, weeks before the Budget, is a cause of incredulity, Mr Bruton added.
