the majority of victims campaign groups in northern ireland are also opposed, and so are all northernolitical parties, because they say basically it's not in keeping with the basic principles ofjustice. the uk government has previously said, from their point of view, the chances of successful prosecutions going through the court now are vanishingly small simply because so much time has passed, so focusing on an information gathering process is the best opportunity to get the truth to families who want it, so it has been highly controversial. the irish government has been mulling over this issue for three months, taking legal advice, and it has announced that it will be taking a court case in the european court on human rights. the irish foreign minister says he regrets that things have reached this stage but he says there is no more political solution now that legislation had become law and he argues the legal route is the only one left to the irish government. chris page, thank you. the rate at which prices are rising pelican last month. inflation was down to 3.9% in november compare
