BEIJING - China and the United States risk deepening rifts over influence and oil in the Middle East, Beijing's former envoy to the region has said, urging his nation to bolster ties with Iran and other energy-exporting powers. Sun Bigan was China's special envoy on the Middle East until March, and in a new essay he said U.S. President Barack Obama's effort to improve ties with Islamic states in the Middle East was a tactical shift that had not removed the potential for friction between Washington and Beijing in the region.

EU Nations To Hammer Out Financial Oversight, Exit Strategies In Wake Of G-20 Summit Font size Print E-mail Share 0 Comments (AP) European Union finance ministers will hammer out a new financial oversight framework for Europe during a two-day meeting a week after the world's rich and developing nations pledged that they would not allow a return to banking as usual.

On Friday voters in the Republic go to the polls for the second time in 16 months to cast their ballots on the Lisbon treaty. Those in favour say it will streamline decision-making in an enlarged European Union but opponents argue that it undermines national sovereignty. At first glance it's as if nothing has changed; the Yes and No posters still litter the lamp posts in cities, towns and country roads. But Ireland in September 2009 feels very different from June 2008. You can almost smell the fear that recession brings. And the for Taoiseach Brian Cowen, it's a case of, "If at first you don't succeed...

Rafael Benitez last night declared that the first-half performance in his side's 2-0 defeat to Fiorentina was the worst he had seen in a Liverpool team he had managed. Liverpool's defensive frailties saw them fall behind to two goals inside nine first-half minutes by the 19-year-old Montenegro striker Stevan Jovetic. "Never have I seen a team struggle so much as I did in the first half," Benitez said. "It was a very poor performance." Liverpool improved slightly in the second half and went close several times in the first five minutes of the second half but the Viola held firm. "We didn't play well...

Fiorentina's fans and their flares were not the only ones who would have turned the Tuscan night air violet last night. The Liverpool manager, Rafa Benitez, watched the defensive problems which have been there all along throughout a resurgent past month for his side laid bare by a 19-year-old. It means that any thoughts that Group E will be some kind of a procession for Liverpool can be firmly laid to rest. Fiorentina were another of those sides who bowed down before the reputation of Liverpool and their manager in Europe. "Welcome Reds, your story for us is a legend," read the banner which was paraded around the ground at the end, part of a twinning arrangement between the two sets fans....

WHEN Augustus Bozzi Granville stood up to speak to the Royal Society in 1825, he caused a scientific sensation. The Italian-born doctor had conducted the first post-mortem of an Ancient Egpyptian mummy, and pronounced its cause of death. The mummy, from about 600BC, belonged to a woman in her fifties whose remains had been recovered six years earlier from the necropolis at Thebes and brought to the British Museum. Hieroglyphics on the mummy's wooden cabinet...
