A particular irritant to Putin, parallel to the arguments about conventional forces in Europe, is the US proposal - a pet project of former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld - to deploy ten ground-based interceptor missiles in Poland and a 360 degree X-band radar in the Czech Republic.

BRITAIN sold weapons to Libya and other dictatorships in North Africa and the Middle East just four months before Colonel Gaddafi's regime slaughtered hundreds of protesters, a damning report reveals today. Ministers approved the export of sniper rifles, bullets, tear gas and other 'crowd control' ammunition to Tripoli shortly before the murderous dictator ordered his military to crush a prodemocracy uprising. The highly critical report by MPs laid bare the 'dirty secret' of Britain selling arms to some of the world's most brutal regimes. Successive British governments have 'misjudged the risk', the Commons' Committee on Arms Export Controls said.

Already the contest is hotting up for control of Scotland's biggest local authority. Buoyed by its triumph in the Holyrood elections, the SNP has now set its sights on wresting control in next May's municipal elections of Glasgow City Council from Labour, which has long regarded the city as its fiefdom. Today The Herald reports two potentially significant manoeuvres as Labour and the SNP prepare to square up over command of the City Chambers. First SNP Finance Secretary John Swinney fired a warning shot at Gordon Matheson's George Square administration by revealing a plan to ban gratuity payments to councillors serving on the boards of the arms-length organisations (Aleos) that run council services.
IN a huge conference hall at Wembley Stadium, Paul McKenna strides through the cheering crowd of 500, holding his arms aloft, like a stadium rock god. Racing across the vast space to find a seat in time, one woman, dress pulled tight across her large bosom, giggles to her friend, 'You lose weight just trying to find a seat.' It feels like a cross between a recruitment session for a cult and an office awayday, but this is weight loss, Paul McKenna-style. Today's seminar entitled 'I Can Make You Thin' consists of a day with the hypnotist and motivational speaker, where for Pounds 250 you can lose all your food hang-ups in one fell swoop, apparently. The room is full of (mostly) women and men - from the hugely obese to the slim (faddy eaters, perhaps?). They all have one thing in common, t...

The hope is that by sharing detailed, concrete information on the challenges and opportunities they face, states will use the meeting to advance practical implementation at the national, regional and global levels. In a departure from previous biennial meetings, which reviewed all the issues covered in the Programme, this one will focus on just three: * international cooperation, assistance and national capacity-building; * illicit small arms brokering; and * stockpile management and surplus destruction or disposal.
BARACK OBAMA arrives in Moscow today for a visit that will be a stern test of his foreign policy. The first US-Russian summit since 2002 will see the President tackling issues including arms control, missile defence and nuclear proliferation.
