In India the granaries are full but the poor are hungry Bureaucracy and corruption in India's distribution system mean that subsidised stocks of grain have been left to rot instead of reaching families suffering from malnutrition A wholesale shop displays cereals and pulses in gunny bags at the Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Yard in Bangalore, India. Photograph: Manjunath Kiran/EPA India's grain warehouses are bursting at the seams and sacks of rice and wheat lie rotting in the open for lack of storage space. These government-managed stocks are for offsetting a fall in agricultural production in the event of drought or floods, but are also meant for sale to the poorest segment of the population at subsidised prices....

Dogged by taints, Maoists lose Nepal PM poll again KATHMANDU: Reeling under the double whammy of bribery allegations and a lawmaker receiving life term for murder, Nepal's Maoist party lost Tuesday's prime ministerial election, for the seventh time in a row, plunging the country into a deeper political crisis. Maoist chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, who had led a successful 10-year war against the monarchist government and won the prime ministership with a thumping majority just two years ago, could muster only 252 votes for the same post Tuesday. He fell far short of the halfway mark of 300 in the currently 599-member parliament, despite speculation that he would this time be able to break into the Terai vote bank. While 110 MPs voted...

Turning Back Thousands of Pages on the U.S.-Iraq War Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. In crediting then-President George W. Bush and his 2007 troop surge strategy for helping to win the U.S.-Iraq War, along with calling him a true patriot, President Barack Obama was not only turning a page in history, but thousands of pages. Only in this case, President Obama was turning back the pages of history to the days of ancient Egypt and Ramses the II. Because of Amosis, who embarked on a great imperialist and expansionist campaign, a new image and role of "pharaoh" emerged in Egypt. Amosis' victories on the battlefield, including his harsh treatment towards the vanquished, created a cultic, national hero and divine warrior-god(1)... Click here for more details. |

Australian PM wins crucial support Julia Gillard, the Australian prime minister, is set to form a minority government after winning the support of two independent politicians.

Climate shifts 'not to blame' for African civil wars By Mark Kinver Science and environment reporter, BBC News Continue reading the main story The Darfur conflict in Sudan was linked to climate shifts Climate 'drives African conflict' Climate change is not responsible for civil wars in Africa, a study suggests.

The findings have been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in the United States. "Climate variability in Africa does... Click here for more details. |
