People have braved snow and strong winds in Port Stanley to mark the 30th anniversary of the end of the Falkands war, as Argentina went to the United Nations over its sovereignty claim. The streets of Port Stanley were decorated with British and Falklands flags for the anniversary, as Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner demanded talks with London over sovereignty of the British-ruled islands in her UN speech. "The celebration of liberation is the most important event of the year," hotel owner Alex Olmedo said The festivities in Port Stanley were full of reflection and expectations for the future ahead of a planned referendum in 2013 on the political status of the oil-rich islands. "This is an opportunity for Falkland Islanders to celebrate our continued freedom to live as we determine for ourselves and to look forward to a bright and confident future," resident Graham Didlick said. Foreign Office Minister Jeremy Browne, who attended the Port Stanley service, said Falklanders had a "fundamental right" to "decide their own destiny." However, President Fernandez de Kirchner said in her speech to the UN's Decolonisation Committee: "We are not asking anyone to say yes, the Malvinas belong to Argentina. "We are asking no more, no less than to sit down and talk." She sat stony-faced through speeches by two Falklands representatives who complained about Argentina's "bullying" tactics. Mrs Fernandez de Kirchner also held talks with UN leader Ban Ki-Moon who <b>...</b>

Raw Video Suu Kyi Falls Ill During Press Event Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi fell ill during a news conference in Switzerland on Thursday, shortly after saying how exhausted she was after a long trip from Asia to Europe, her first in 24 years. (June 14) LIKMA38 BERN, Switzerland (AP) — A rock star welcome greeted Aung San Suu Kyi as she embarked on her first trip to Europe in 24 years. But after a whirlwind of standing ovations, speeches and receptions, it all became too much, and she fell ill Thursday during a news conference in Switzerland. The 66-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate became sick shortly after saying how exhausted she was after her long trip from Asia to Europe, which brought her to Geneva late Wednesday night. It was not known how her apparent exhaustion would affect the rest of a tightly-packed schedule that includes delivering her Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in Oslo on Saturday, 21 years after winning the award. Suu Kyi looked pale as she took questions Thursday evening alongside Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter in the Swiss capital of Bern. After a few minutes, she pressed a finger to her lips and motioned to an aide who rushed to her side. She then bent over, seemingly in pain, and threw up before being escorted out of the room by officials. Aung San Suu Kyi, chef de l'opposition birmane, a interrompu jeudi 14 juin soir une conférence de presse à Berne, après avoir été prise de vomissements devant les journalistes. "Je suis <b>...</b>

If they wanted to become Argentinian, I would support that decision as would the British government. You may not agree with what the islanders say but you can't deny them the right to speak for themselves.
