And now that Obama is safely ensconced back in the White House it has been announced that his first International trip will be a historic three day tour of South East Asia from the 17th to 20th November. He will be the first US President to visit Burma where he will meet President Thein Sein and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. This stop off will coincide with the summit of the Association of South East Asian Nations in Cambodia, where leaders from China, Japan and Russia will also attend. He will also visit Thailand and Cambodia. This lady in the capital Yangon is looking forward to the visit she said "Since Obama is similar with our country name "Burma", people love him a lot." The trip will no doubt raise concerns from the Human Rights organisation that Obama is going ahead with the visit despite recent increasing sectarian violence against the Rohingya in western Myanmar that has drawn concern from the United States and European Union.

Grieving survivors describe Afghan massacre; US military war crimes & Genocide against Pashtuns in Afghanistan Reporter Yalda Hakim of Australia's SBS network has become the first western journalist to visit the villages where a US soldier allegedly killed 17 people. In a remarkable report she talks with some of the survivors and some Afghan guards on duty at the military camp from where Staff Sergeant Robert Bales left on his alleged killing spree. The video at the top of this story is Hakim's account of her journey to the remote villages near Kandahar and what she was told. Bales is now held at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas and has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder. The events of that March night in a rural area some 20 kilometers from Kandahar are being investigated by both the US military and Afghan authorities. But much remains unknown. Many Afghans, including some of the survivors that night, believe more than one US soldier was present in the two villages where the killings took place. Others speak of seeing a single American soldier leaving Camp Belambai that night The US military says there is no evidence that more than one man was involved in the shootings. Bales has not entered a plea. The killings made headlines around the world but at times it seemed the victims were ...

It was Argentina's largest anti-government demonstration in years. Up to 700000 people flooded the capital Buenos Aires and other major cities on Thursday to protest against the policies of President Cristina Kirchner. Their grievances include violent crime, inflation and alleged corruption - concerns which have seen the president's approval rating plummet, just a year after she easily won her bid for re-election. But Kirchner and her supporters say the protests are being organised by the wealthy elite minority and encouraged by a vociferous right-wing media.

A 7.4-magnitude earthquake has struck off the Pacific coast of Guatemala, killing at least 48 people, injuring another 155 and destroying scores of homes. The quake, which hit at 10:35 am in the midst of the work day, caused terror over an unusually wide area, with damage reported in all but one of Guatemala's 22 states. It also sparked a tsunami alert on the El Salvador coast and evacuations from offices, homes and schools as far north as Mexico City, 600 miles to the northwest. President Otto Perez Molina said at a news conference that 40 people died in the province of San Marcos and eight more were killed in the neighbouring province of Quetzaltenango. "One thing is to hear about what happened and another thing entirely is to see it. As a Guatemalan I feel sad... to see mothers crying for their lost children." Guatemala map San Marcos bore the brunt of the quake The mountain town of San Marcos, where more than 30 homes collapsed, bore the brunt of the temblor's fury. It was some 80 miles (130 kilometres) from the epicentre of the quake. More than 300 people, including firefighters and policemen, tried to dig through half a tonne of sand at a quarry in the commercial centre of San Marcos in a desperate attempt to rescue seven people believed buried alive. Among those under the sand was a six-year-old boy who had accompanied his grandfather to work. Mr Perez flew to San Marcos to view the damage in the lush mountainous region of 50000 indigenous farmers and ranchers ...
