Al-Jazeera footage captures 'western troops on the ground' in Libya
http://www.thebeerbarrel.net/showthread.php?7817-Al-Jazeera-footage-captures-western-troops-on-the-ground-in-Libya
Armed westerners have been filmed on the front line with rebels near Misrata in the first apparent confirmation that foreign special forces are playing an active role in the Libyan conflict.
A group of six westerners are clearly visible in a report by al-Jazeera from Dafniya, described as the westernmost point of the rebel lines west of the town of Misrata. Five of them were armed and wearing sand-coloured clothes, peaked caps, and cotton Arab scarves.
The sixth, apparently the most senior of the group, was carrying no visible weapon and wore a pink, short-sleeve shirt. He may be an intelligence officer. The group is seen talking to rebels and then quickly leaving on being spotted by the television crew.

Karzai said he would no longer allow NATO airstrikes on houses because they have caused too many civilian casualties.
A recent strike that mistakenly killed a group of children and women would be the last, he added.
"If they don't stop air strikes on Afghan homes, their presence in Afghanistan will be considered as an occupying force and against the will of the Afghan people," Karzai told a news conference in Kabul Tuesday.
"From this moment, airstrikes on the houses of people are not allowed," he added.

New Zealand prisoners, who will not be allowed to smoke from July 1, are being told to sing and eat carrots instead, news reports said on Tuesday.
About two-thirds of the 8,700 prisoners in the country's jails are smokers but lost the right to buy cigarettes and tobacco last week in preparation for the coming ban on possession when cigarettes will be declared contraband.

'Perfect storm' looms for world food supply

Oxfam called on Tuesday for an overhaul of the world's food system, warning that in a couple of decades, millions more people would be gripped by hunger due to population growth and climate-hit harvests.
A "broken food system" means that the price of some staples will more than double by 2030, battering the world's poorest people, who spend up to 80 percent of their income on food, the British-based aid group predicted.
