Quantas grounds all flights over jobs row
Link to the article at Channel 4 News
All 108 Qantas aircraft have been grounded indefinitely and staff are to be locked out, as the company responds to recent strikes over proposals to move jobs overseas.
The airline issued a statement this morning saying that all its domestic and international flights will be stopped until further notice. Flights in transit would continue to their destination, but all other flights would be stopped from taking off.
The company say it will lock-out staff from Monday morning until three unions behind recent industrial action move to "drop their extreme demands".
Qantas staff have been striking over infrastructure changes and proposals to move some operations to Asia.
Tens of thousands of passengers will be hit and the lock-out will cost the company an estimated $20m per day.
The airline is offering full refunds to any customers that are hit by the strike and has promised them flights at a later stage - although there is no indication at this time when flights will resume.

How private is your facebook data..?
Link to the article: Channel 4 News
As Facebook faces an audit over its storage of information, Channel 4 News talks to the 24-year-old Austrian student who has gone head to head with the social networking giant.
As part of his research into privacy law this summer, 24-year-old Austrian law student Max Schrems asked Facebook to turn over all the data the social networking site had collected on him for the past three years, as is his right under European data protection legislation.
In response, Facebook sent him a CD containing more than 1,200 pages of wall posts, messages, removed friends, and "pokes" - activity that Mr Schrems thought had been deleted.
"I think it's quite frightening just how much data is stored by Facebook," Mr Schrems told Channel 4 News.
"They think it's legal and they talk about 'industry standards'. That may be the case in America, but this is Europe, and they're just not getting it," he continued.

Link to the article: Channel 4 News
More than 700 people have been arrested during anti-Wall Street protests in the US. Police were forced to close the Brooklyn Bridge as campaigners marched across it without permission.
The arrests took place when a large group of marchers, participating in a second week of protests by the Occupy Wall Street movement, broke off from others on the bridge's pedestrian walkway and headed across the Brooklyn-bound lanes.
The group is protesting against corporate greed and claim they are defending 99 per cent of the US population against the wealthiest 1 per cent.
