Russia to expel Canadians in NATO response

In Moscow, Russia, they will expel two Canadian diplomats in retaliation for NATO's recent expulsion of the two Russian envoys from the alliance's headquarters in Brussels, the Canadian Embassy in Moscow said on Wednesday.

The director of the NATO Information Office in Moscow, Isabelle Francois, and a work partner are to be expelled, said Nicholas Brousseau, a spokesman at the embassy.

The Canadian ambassador, Ralph Lysyshyn, was informed of the decision at a Russian Foreign Ministry meeting early on Wednesday, Brousseau said. The embassy called the decision "counterproductive."

Brousseau said, "Canada strongly regrets the decision, Canada and NATO allies have been seeking to re-engage Russia," he added.

’Best job in the world’ competition won by a Brit.

Ben Southall, a British man, beat 34,000 other applicants. It has been dubbed “the best job in the world”—to stroll the white sands of a tropical island in Queensland, Australia, file weekly reports online to a global audience and earn a cool $100,000.
Ben worked as a fundraiser before.

“I love discovering new places,” Southall said in his minute-long application video for the position.

"Last year, I drove all around Africa; I crossed deserts, climbed mountains, run marathons, bungee jump, mountain-bike, scuba-dive and snorkel everywhere because I'm practically a fish myself."
And he rode an ostrich.

Sri Lanka rebels say war takes heavy civilian toll

In Colombo, Sri Lanka, the Tamil Tiger rebels said on Wednesday that an intense fighting in the northern war zone was killing and wounding hundreds of civilians a day and appealed to the U.N. to push for urgent shipments of food and medicine to the area.

The Sri Lankan forces have cornered the ''ex-powerful'' rebel group into a tiny piece of land on the northeast coast along with tens of thousands of civilians.

The Secretary General of the U.N. Ban Ki-Moon said to President Mahinda Rajapaksa in a phone call on Tuesday to suspend the offensive to allow aid into the war zone. Rajapaksa has said no to calls for a cease-fire, saying that a truce would give the rebels a chance to regroup.

In a letter addressed to Ban Ki-Moon, a rebel political leader Balasingham Nadesan said to the international community to pressure the government to allow aid into the region.

Swedish 52-years old woman falls for internet lottery deception

The woman, from Sundsvall in northern Sweden, was told by a gang of international fraudsters that she had won $2.5 million in a lottery.

First, the woman was told she would have to open a bank account in the Netherlands to secure the money. And there would be a fee and the woman paid up. The requests continued and the woman was tricked into handing over 460,000 kronor ($57,000) over a nine month. The woman received an email last summer that her email address had been entered into a lottery and that she had won the jackpot. After having set up the bank account, the woman waited for her money to arrive, but no funds were forthcoming and the 52-year-old then received a request for money to release a code from a consultant in the UK. The requests then continued again for the next eight to nine months. The woman was forced to borrow money from the bank to secure her lottery money. And in the end, she had paid $56,450 in total. Sundsvall police believe that the woman has a marginal chance of recovering any of her money.

Change is happening and a new era is sprouting

Change is very difficult to avoid and it is changing the world. Countries are populating rapidly and becoming more intellegant.

Maoists says to step up protests in Nepal

The communists in Nepal says in Wednesday they are going to step up protests and block a new government from forming unless the president supports the firing of the country's army chief in a dispute over integrating former rebels into the military.

President Ram Baran Yadav refused on Sunday to honor a directive by communist Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal to fire the country's military chief because of his refusal to enlist former communist fighters into the military. Dahal resigned in protest Monday, throwing the Himalayan country into a huge crisis.

Police used tear gas and batons made of bamboo to break up a protest by about 500 supporters of Dahal's Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) in Katmandu on Wednesdsay. Unfortunately, no one was seriously injured in the clash.

The authorities have imposed a ban on protests and rallies in main areas of Katmandu this week.

Followers of Mao have been holding protests since Dahal, the ex-prime minister of Nepal, resigned Monday and the party's lawmakers shut down parliament Tuesday by gathering in the front of the assembly hall and chanting slogans.
