Asia-pacific - G20 pushes climate change up global agenda
I ( like many Australians) am so embarrassed by the government of Australia, led by Tony Abbott,our most backwards non thinking prime minister yet -refuses to believe in or assist with global warming,Aboriginal deaths in custody and too many other social issues that are threatening our way of life,he is Australia's biggest terrorist and his opinions and beliefs are not held by me ,just needed to say this so that international readers can realise that not all Australians are so misinformed as the Prime Minister that we are stuck with at the moment.

Europe - For American Napoleon, there's a future after Waterloo
Napoleon while having very good generals was very much like Adolf Hitler in a very controlling way, and inept to boot. Even Blucher the Austrian cavalryman was better than Napoleon at 70-years of age. In point of fact Napoleon was the greatest failure in history and was grossly over rated to the point of insanity by some who had no idea about history.

Europe - Sarkozy wants to scrap France’s gay marriage law
The desperate ramblings of a has-been loser trying to win over the hard-right by stripping gays and lesbians of equality before the law. Stripping the rights of minorities is not leadership, its cowardice.
