India, USA finalise controversial nuclear
deal after talks in Delhi
India and USA, reportedly finalised a contoversial nuclear deal
after talks in Delhi between US President Gearge W. Bush and Indian
Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh.
President Bush, on his first trip to India, called the deal historic,
but he reportedly said it may be hard to get through the US Congress,
which must ratify it. India has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty.
President Bush said the deal would help peoples of both countries,
news reported.
Indian Prime Minister Dr. Singh reportedly said India had finalised
a plan to separate its military and civilian nuclear facilities,
a move contingent on the deal going through.
India will get access to US civil nuclear technology and open
its nuclear facilities to international inspection.
Reportedly US President Bush inspected a ceremonial guard of honour
at the presidential palace in the heart of Delhi, and he followed
that by a wreath-laying at Raj Ghat, the memorial to Mahatma Gandhiji
before his talks with Indian Prime Minister Dr. Singh.
US President Bush's first visit shows a growing bond between the
two leaders, said observers.
There is a heavy security presence in Delhi, news reported.
A session of the Indian parliament reportedly has been adjourned
after left-wing MPs organised a sit-in in protest against President
Bush's visit.
Also several thousand protesters reportedly gathered in Delhi.
However, during his three day trip to India, President Bush will
also visit the southern city of Hydrabad, one of India's high-technology
hubs, news reports said.

In UK, Met Chief Blair calls for compassionate
debate on policing.
In the UK, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said
every community was at risk from indiscriminate terrorism.
He called for a debate on policing, while he delivered his lecture
in the annual Dimbleby lecture in London, saying police work was
being hampered by the lack of a proper examination of what they
were for - whether it was to fight crime or fight its causes,
to build stronger communities or enforce zero tolerance.
Police service needs public engagement and debate to help it fit
the multi-cultural, open society to which the London Olympics
aspire, a Britain in which I want to live and in which I want
my children to live.
That Britain cannot succeed without a police service to match.
You need to decide what kind of police service we want.
The police are the public, and the public are the police. You
and we are one.
A new giant has arisen. You all now - we all now - need to make
some decisions, said sir Ian Blair in his televised Dimbleby lecture
on Wednesday 16. November 2005.

Britain and India sign sustainable development pact
Report by Vallabh Kaviraj
A longstanding Indian journalist
in London, Founding editor of
The AEN-The Asian Express Newspaper
Britain and India have signed a declaration in London on Tuesday
11, October 2005, that will see the two countries work closely
together to find fresh approaches to global environmental, economic
and social challenges.
British Environment Minister Elliot Morley and Indian Minister
for Environment and Forests, A Raja, who is visiting Britain from
10-12 October, met in London on Tuesday to agree to a joint high-level
sustainable development dialogue.
The agreement is part of an initiative by the Prime Ministers
of the two countries to strengthen ties on a range of areas including
research, environment impact assessment, public-private partnerships,
sustainable forestry, illegal trade in animals, science and technology.
The UK has set up an India Task Force to aid co-operation as both
countries aim to ensure that environmental dimensions of growth
and development are integrated into national policies
to meet national needs and global goals.
Signing the agreement, both countries acknowledge that co-operation
is essential to delivering on globally agreed targets and pledges
to bring real improvements to the quality of life of people in
both countries and around the world.
Annual ministerial meetings are planned, backed up by regular
liaison and joint initiatives involving stakeholders and other
partners, between two countries, the news release said.

Europe getting hotter than expected
Europe's big cities are getting hotter faster than expected. Heat
waves, draught and torrential rains are all things Europe can
expect to see more of, experts said.
Rising temperatures will mean more extreme weather conditions
and cities may be especially hard hit.
London showed the biggest increase. Its average maximum teperatures
now are two degrees higher than in the 1970s.
Madrid, Paris, Stockholm, Lisbon and Athens are suffering in the
heat too.
Most scientists reportedly now agree the root cause of the rising
teperatures is carbon dioxide.
It is created by fossile fuels, like coal, which are burned to
create electricity.
European countries are asked to cut CO2 emmissions and invest
in alternative forms of power generation-because if the temperatures
continue to rise, Europe's great cities may become unliveable,
media reports said.

In Pakistan, foreign students at madrassas or religious
schools must leave the country, says President Musharraf
Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf reportedly said all foreign
students at madrassas or religious schools, some 1,400 pupils,
must leave the country.
This is the latest in a series of measures the president has announced
in a renewed clampdown on extremism.
Madrassas have been in spotlight after one of the London bombers
was reported to have studied at one.
Reportedly Gen. Musharraf told journalists that Pakistan would
not issue visas to such people.
"No new visas will be issued to foregners wishing to study in
madrassas or religious schools in the country" said President
Musharraf
He also reportedly said action would be taken against any of the
madrassas that did not register with the authorities.
President Musharraf also vowed to crack down on anti-western hate
speeches in mosques or recordings, media reports said.

Pakistan's President Musharraf warns UK over militancy,
saying Britain needs to tackle its own militancy threat
in the country
Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf reportedly warned the UK
over militancy, saying Britain needs to tackle its own militancy
threat in the country following the London bombings.
He said the London bombers "cannot be called humanbeings" and
said Pakistan stood with the UK in fighting terror.
President Musharraf was speaking in an address to the nation on
Thursday, in which he defended his crackdown on extremists.
He also reportedly called for Pakistanis to join holy war on extremists
and announced all religious schools would have to register with
the government.
Now the UK government needs to re-examine community fundings in
the country, which seem to be causing problems, said observers.

Indo-US bilateral ties improving greatly
India's Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh reportedly said in Washington
that India's vision of relationship with the United States was
a long-term and strategic and based on shared values of commitments.
India has reportedly hailed a nuclear co-operation deal with the
United States and as seen as a major shift in Washington's policy.
Reportedly US President George W Bush said he would ask congress
to lift sanctions on India that will give Delhi access to civilian
nuclear technology.
The deal came during a visit by India's Prime Minister Dr. Singh
who is reportedly to deliver a speech to a joint meeting of congress
on Tuesday.
A joint statement issued after Monday's meeting between President
Bush and Indian Prime Minister Dr. Singh said that the US would
work to achieve full civil nuclear energy co-operation with India,
news reported.

UK concern over Pakistan's Islamic schools
UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw reportedly said he was worried
about some Pakistan's Islamic schools.
Reportedly Mr. Straw said the Pakistan Government was also concerned
about some of schools called madrassas.
He reportedly said Pakistan was increasingly cooperating on counter
terrorism.
Reportedly the International Crisis Group recently said the Pakistan
Government had allowed religious organisations, Jihadi group and
the madrassas that provide them with endless stream of recruits
to flourish, media reports said.
UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw reportedly told journalists, Pakistan
faced a big challenge to improve madrassas.
In the UK, many people believe that the UK should re-examine the
system of Islamic schools run in this country because the concern
is growing that there might be brain washing going on in the education
field and that might create more communal problems in this country,
said observers.

Muslim leaders in Britain must do more than just condemn
the London bombings, says Britain's highest ranking
Asian police officer Ghaffur
Britain's top Muslims reportedly have condemned and have branded
the London suicide bombings utterly criminal, and absolutely un-Islamic.
Reportedly a joint statement of condemnation came as 22 leaders
and scholars met at the Islamic Cultural Centre in London.
But Britain's highest ranking Asian police officer, Tarique Ghaffur,
reportedly said Muslims and their leaders should do more than
just condemn the bombings.
Also, many people in Asian communities believe these kind of activities
of Asian youth in this country could give a bad name not only
to the Uk's Asian communities but also to the nation where they
born and brought up, said observers.
