- Buckling to China UK seems to have buckled under Chinese pressure as it barred two of its ministers from meeting the Dalai Lama the spiritual head of the Tibetan people. This action by PM David Cameron has come at a time when the world is dismayed by the series of self-immolation committed by Tibetans protesting against Chinese rule in Tibet. The British government had imposed a “blanket prohibition” on two ministers meeting the Dalai Lama in London in June forcing them to accuse PM Cameron of buckling to Chinese pressure. The PM’s action mocks at the very edifice of freedom as UK fails to stand up against China.

- Little too far Israel seems to have taken its settlements a little too far as it attracted unprecedented action from European powers. Britain and France are considering the option of recalling their envoys from Israel to express their protest. European diplomats promised “real action” this time at Israel’s plan to expand its settlements a move which Washington termed as unfortunate. Britain, France and Sweden also summoned their Israeli ambassadors on Monday to denounce Israel’s latest action which comes as a punitive measure against the Palestinian Authority (PA) following their successful bid at the United Nations to win a non-member state observer status. ×0
- Pontiff to Post The Twitter bug has bitten Vatican City with the Pope joining in to address the faithful with “pearls of wisdom”. It may well turn out to be just want the followers wanted, as the Catholic Church tries to reach a wider audience and harness social media to woo the Internet generation. @pontifex will begin tweeting next week starting with the Pope answering questions set to him on matters on faith. Having decided to target Internet generation, the Pope will definitely have some answering to do. ×0
