Ex Chief Former Military Chiefs Face Lobbying Ban Ex-military chiefs may be barred from contact with ministers and Ministry of Defence officials after several were secretly filmed claiming to be able to help secure deals for arms firms. At least one of the six top figures filmed by The Sunday Times was still subject to the two-year lobbying ban imposed on former military personnel leaving public service, Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said. The rules state they cannot become involved in any activity which might be helped by their previous role for those two years. Reporters posed as representatives of arms firms and arranged meetings with former top military figures and recorded them offering their influence and contacts with ministers and in return for six-figure sums. Mr Hammond said any breaches of the lobbying rules would be investigated. Philip Hammond on The Andrew Marr Show Mr Hammond said an investigation will be launched He also said the revelations were "deeply damaging to the individuals concerned and their reputations" but insisted there was "no way that retired officers influence the way that military equipment is procured". Instead, he said those filmed were "rather bigging up their capabilities" and showing "bravado" to impress. But the rules appeared to have been broken and may need tougher enforcement, Mr Hammond said. "There are many, many reasons why it is sensible for the MoD to maintain contact with retired officers," he told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show <b>...</b>

Uploaded by Antonis Ashiotis: www.facebook.com August 19, 2012 By Michelle Faul - Associated Press www.freep.com JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- Miners and their families welcomed expelled politician Julius Malema on Saturday as he told the thousands who gathered at the site where 34 miners were killed last week that South African police had no right to fire the live bullets that killed them. Malema, the former youth leader of the governing African National Congress, arrived as family members continued to hunt for loved ones missing since Thursday's shootings. Women said they did not know whether their husbands and sons were among the dead, or among the 78 wounded or about 256 arrested by police on charges from public violence to murder. "They had no right to shoot," Malema said, even if the miners had opened fire first. Malema is the first politician to address the miners at the site during a more than weeklong saga in which 10 people were killed before Thursday's shootings -- including two police officers butchered to death and two mine security guards whom strikers burned alive in their vehicle. He said he had come because the government had turned its back on the strikers. Strikers complained earlier that President Jacob Zuma had not come to hear their side of the story when he flew to the Marikana platinum mine on Friday, cutting short his part in a summit in neighboring Mozambique so that he could visit wounded miners in the hospital. Zuma said he was organizing a <b>...</b>

Ex-leader reportedly died of natural causes in a Beijing hospital eight years after abdicating due to poor health Norodom Sihanouk, the former Cambodian king who remained an influential figure in his country's politics through a half-century of war, genocide and upheaval, has died. He was 89. Cambodian government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said Sihanouk died early on Monday of natural causes in Beijing, where he had travelled for medical treatment earlier this year. Prince Sisowath Thomico, a royal family member who was Sihanouk's assistant, said the former king had suffered a heart attack at a Beijing hospital. "His death was a great loss to Cambodia," Thomico said, adding that Sihanouk had dedicated his life "for the sake of his entire nation, country and for the Cambodian people." Sihanouk was a key figure in Cambodian politics for six decades but abdicated in 2004, citing poor health, and was succeeded by a son, Norodom Sihamoni. Sihanhouk had been in China since January and had suffered a variety of illnesses, including colon cancer, diabetes and hypertension. Kanharith said arrangements were being made to repatriate his body for an official funeral in Cambodia. In January, Sihanouk requested that he be cremated in the Cambodian and Buddhist tradition, asking that his ashes be put in an urn, preferably made of gold, and placed in a stupa at the country's royal palace.

The UN Security Council has approved a resolution that gives West African nations 45 days to offer details of a plan for international military intervention in Mali, now split in two. The text approved by the council on Friday also urges authorities in Bamako and representatives of Tuareg rebels and Islamist fighters controlling the north to "engage, as soon as possible, in a credible negotiation process". The members warned that the process should be undertaken with a view towards "a sustainable political solution, mindful of the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of Mali". Mali descended into chaos in March when soldiers toppled the president, leaving a power vacuum that enabled Tuareg rebels to seize two-thirds of the country.
