The Turkish Foreign Ministry says it's dissatisfied with the latest measures proposed by Iraq to suppress the Kurkish separatist group the PKK, which launches attacks on Turkey from bases in the Kurdish north of Iraq. It's thought that Iraq offered to curtail the movements of PKK and to close its offices. A Turkish MP Thai Gulak told the BBC that people there couldn't bear to see the funerals of more of the young soldiers.
"Turkish public opinion really, really has lost its patience. This last attack was done by a group of about 200 PKK terrorists that came over the border. I mean, certainly there are some sorts of turning a blind eye and support for this. This is a huge mass scale of operation."
Hopes for a breakthrough in the Darfur conflict are fading with two of the main rebel groups announcing they will not attend talks due to take place in Libya later today. After days of consultations, the Justice and Equality Movement and the faction of the Sudan Liberation Army issued a statement saying they would not be traveling to the Libyan town of Sirte for the conference. Amber Henshaw reports:
There's been much speculation about which rebel factions will attend the talks in Libya. After days of meetings, the leadership of Khalil Ibrahim's Justice and Equality Movement and the Sudan Liberation Army Unity Faction have decided they won't go. In a joint statement, a spokesman said the mediation led by the African Union and the United Nations had invited too many rebel factions, who, it said, did not genuinely represent Darfuries. This latest announcement means that none of the key rebels will be present in Libya for negotiations.
Flooding in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, has killed at least 30 people. Heavy rains caused floods that cut off roads, destroyed bridges and caused landslides. Some of the victims were electrocuted when some of Kinshasa's power cables collapsed during the storm.
A court in Chile has dropped embezzlement charges against the widow of the late former military ruler Agusto Pinochet and 4 of his children. The family were arrested earlier this month on the orders of a judge investigating the origin of millions of dollars held by General Pinochet. Here's our South America correspondent Daniel Schweimler:
The judge said the Pinochet family could not be charged because none of them were government employees at the time the alleged offences took place. The court also ruled that charges against 10 former associates of the ex-leader should be dropped. The indictments against two other associates were upheld. Proceedings may also continue against Agusto Pinochet's elder son since he didn't appeal against the charges. The Pinochet family members and the associates were indicted following an investigation into the former leader's foreign bank accounts.
In his starkest warning yet against the planed American missile shield in central Europe, President Putin has drawn a comparison with the Cuban missile crisis. He was referring to the Soviet Union's move to deploy missiles in Cuba that brought East and West to the brink of war in 1962. The statement came at a summit between Russia and the European Union in Portugal.

More evacuation orders are being lifted in southern California as firefighters bring more of the wild fires that have swept the region under control. Cooled down weather and low winds are helping the effort and officials say the threat from the remaining blazes has now eased. Thousands of people evacuated to escape the fires around San Diego have returned to find their homes damaged or destroyed.
A French court has jailed an Algerian man Rachid Ramda for life for his role in financing a series of bombings in 1995. The court ordered that Ramda, a member of the Islamist armed Islamic group, serve a minimum of 22 years in jail. Mark Lone reports:
The terrorist attacks on three underground Metro stations in 1995 constituted the worst bombing in France since the Second World War. Eight people died and 150 were wounded as the first blast tore through Saint-Michel station in Paris's tourist hub the Latin Quarter. Two other attacks on the Paris Metro network just three months later injured many more, terrifying the nation. Rachid Ramda was arrested in London later that year. After a ten-year battle between the French and British authorities, he was extradited to France to face trial. He was, the court found, the financial architect of the attacks, some of which had used gas canisters loaded with nails.
A Spanish hotel chain is opening what it says is Latin America's first ever five-star gay hotel in Buenos Aires. Aisle hotel says the cosmopolitanism and tolerance of Argentineans made it a perfect place for their first venture outside Spain. The hotel features a roof-top swimming pool and a transparent floor.
A 17th century painting that was expected to sell for around $3,000 has gone for more than 4 million at an auction in southwestern England. The picture shows a young Rembrandt. Experts say it's not clear whether the painting is a self-portrait by the Dutch master, but more than 12 bidders at the auction were convinced it was.
