Syria's government has imposed a ban on all Turkish civilian planes flying through its airspace. The move comes after Wednesday's interception of a Syrian airliner by Turkish fighter jets. The airliner was forced down and cargo was seized, which Ankara described as "military equipment". Meanwhile, the UN and Arab League envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, has been in Turkey to discuss the Syrian crisis. Related article

ISRAEL ARMY Shoots Down Unmanned AIRCRAFT, Is This A HEZBOLLAH DRONE ? Spokeswoman for the military says Israeli systems on ground alerted the air force to the drone as it flew over Gaza. Israeli jets scrambled to intercept a drone that crossed into Israeli airspace from the Mediterranean Sea, bringing it down without incident in the south of the country, a military spokeswoman said. Lieutenant-Colonel Avital Leibovich said Israeli systems on the ground alerted the air force to the drone Saturday morning. She said it flew over the Gaza Strip but did not originate from the Palestinian territory. She said Israel did not know the drone's starting point and an investigation was under way. Nobody was hurt in the incident. Leibovich did not give more details, but Israel media reported that the aircraft was not carrying explosives and could have been a surveillance drone. Leibovich said the operation was successful and the military was in control throughout. "We had monitoring contact from the ground and from the air," she said. "We alerted jet planes that escorted the unmanned aerial vehicle and due to some operational considerations we decided to intercept the unmanned aerial vehicle in the northern Negev area, which has no population." It is not the first time that Israel has shot down drones entering its airspace, but such cases are rare. The Lebanese group Hezbollah has launched several such aircrafts into Israel over the past few years. In the 2006 war, Hezbollah launched <b>...</b>

As a bitter dispute over who is at fault rages, this report takes a powerful grassroots look at 50 years of devastation in the Niger Delta. Aerial shots show vast black islands surrounded by shimmering slicks of oil. This is what much of the Niger Delta looks like after what environmentalists say is "the equivalent of one Exxon Valdez every year". While it is revealed by secret correspondance released by Wikileaks that one minister can siphon off $20 million dollars in bribes from oil companies, local communities are reduced to eating fish meat that tastes of kerosene. This inequality has led to the rise in cases of sabotage of pipelines to get access to crude oil. It is this that the oil companies blame now for the level of pollution. But for ecologists there are no doubts that poor maintenance is far more to blame than the low level sabotage for the fact that the Delta has more than one leak every day. They say the companies consider it cheaper to lose the oil than maintain and protect the pipes. And as the world turns a blind eye, the desperation of the locals intensifies.
