The United States has blocked a UN Security Council statement that was drafted by Arab nations and aimed at putting pressure on Israel to stop military strikes on Palestinian targets. Washington does not have formal veto power when it comes to council statements. But it is able to block the draft single-handedly because council rules require that statements be unanimous and supported by all 15 of its members. Violence and bloodshed in Palestine is getting more serious during the past several months, and the Israeli military is criticized for over-reacting to protests by Palestinian people, causing serious casualties of civilians.

They face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment on each charge, if convicted. Ibrahim and Mohammed were arrested in a police raid on a public housing estate in west London on July 29, eight days after knapsack bombs on three trains and the bus failed to detonate.

Co-sponsored by the China Wildlife Conservation Association and its partner Wild Aid, a non-governmental organization from the United States, the survey found that 54 percent of urban interviewees chose "potential health risks" as the reason for giving up the wild dishes.

The program is expected to benefit 144,000 newborn babies and women of child-bearing age in eight counties and cities in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture of Gansu Province. Lack of iodine stands out to be a serious endemic disease in those areas. It may cause breast and prostate cancer, as well as goiter, or enlargement of the thyroid gland.
