VNS: Mon 9-Jan-1995 : *** LAST CHANCE TO SEE ***

NOTE:
Just to expand on the header, VNS as forwarded by me, will shortly be
stopping. Looking back, I've been forwarding it for over two years now
but recently, there are two problems that I can't do anything about.
The first is that the news just isn't getting through to me, which
is why it's been patchy/non-existant for the last few months and the
second is that the group to I work for in Digital has been sold off
to MTI, so very shortly I'll not have access to VNS nor the rest of
the Digital network...
Bye for now,
Gwyn

The three escaped Parkhurst prisoners were back in custody last night
after being captured by police during two hours of high drama on the
Isle of Wight. Officers first apprehended Keith Rose and Andrew Rodger
in open country six miles from the prison. The third prisoner, Matthew
Williams, escaped again, but was caught 90 minutes later. The final
stages of the search became even more highly-charged because Williams
was believed to be armed with a home-made pistol. Last night all three
were back inside Parkhurst.

yesterday by toughening up the Government's opposition to any further
moves to closer European integration, including a single currency.

the official party in weeks, rather than months.

Russia's armed forces pounded Grozny with artillery fire yesterday and
advanced to within a few hundred yards of the city's presidential
palace, the symbol of Chechen defiance of Russian authority. The
Russian government said Dzhokhar Dudayev, the Chechen President, had
fled the capital to set up his headquarters in the village of
Galanchezh, 25 miles south of Grozny.
