In the interview Sir Richard Donald describes the presence of British troops as making the security problems worse. He says as a foreigner you can be welcome in a Muslim country, but the British troops were hardly invited there. "Let's face it", he says, "the military campaign we fought in 2003 effectively kicked the door room."

Turkey has condemned the preliminary vote by the French parliament in favor of making it a crime to deny that Turk's committed genocide against Armenians 90 years ago. Ankara said the vote was irresponsible and doubted a heavy blow to relations between the two countries. The BBC Turkey correspondent says it's also a popular anger because the move is seen as an attempt to blacken the country's image. The French government said it would try to stop the bill becoming law while the Turkish chief negotiator in EU membership talks Alibaba John said that the bill contradicted to the Union’s core values.

"What's happening in France is now going to raise a lot of questions, not only in Turkey but also in others countries about the European Union values, fundamental rights, Democracy, freedoms, rule law floor and what happened in France today we believe is also not in line with the core values of the European Union."

China is also worried about introducing inspections of all shipments into and out of from North Korea. From the UN in New York, L reports.
At the first Security Council gathering, the Chinese and Russian said that they needed more time to consider the proposals. China sent a senior envoy to Washington for talks with President Bush, another envoy will go on to Moscow on Saturday. Neither China nor Russia wants anything which might lead to the collapse of the regime in Pyongyang. China was particularly worried that the proposals to inspect cargo going into and out of the country for evidence of weapons of mass destruction could spark a confrontation with North Korea. And China doesn't want sanctions to be enforced by Chapter seven of the UN Charter which they say holds out the threat of military force.
