One of the main rebel groups in the Sudanese region of Darfur has demanded that Chinese Peacekeeping troops leave the county soon after they arrived there. The Chinese army engineers have gone to the province to help build roads, bridges and other infrastructure. Amber Henshaw reports from Kartun.
The rebel warning came just hours after the 135 Chinese peacekeepers touched down in South Darfur's remote capital Nyala.

"The former world chess-champion was hauled off by riot police at the end of the rally held by a group of opposition organization, known as Other Russia. The authorities have given permission for the rally, but not for a march. The police say they have arrested 13 people, opposition activists say dozens were taken away. After the rally, speakers including Mr. Kasparov had bitterly criticized President Putin and his government, alleging it was corrupt and autocratic. He said the government should be removed."
Iraqi forces with American backing have been carrying out what's described as a major security operation in the northern city of Kirkuk.

The Commonwealth Group of countries has issued what its Secretary General called "a strong political statement on climate change", but it has failed to agree on any binding cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, despite acknowledging that these changes threaten the survival of some of its small member states. The outgoing Secretary General Don McKinnon said the leaders have taken a leap forward in trying to find a common position.
Everyone has to be involved. Everyone is part of the problem and part of the solution. When I talked to our friends on the Islands of Tuvalu, of Kilibati, of Maldives, even Singapore, these people are genuinely threatened with rising sea level that doesn't depend on where you are.
Iran says its nuclear program is progressing and that it would be able to produce nuclear fuel by the middle of next year. The Iranian Vice President Golam Reza Aghazadeh said the fuel, pellets of enriched uranium would power heavy water reactor at Eric. Iran insists it would continue with its nuclear energy program despite sanctions by the UN Security Council.
Ukrainians have been marking the 75th anniversary of the start of a famine during which millions of people starved to death. The famine, known as holodomor, was the direct result of the communist leader Josef Stalin's policy of forcing peasants across the Soviet Union to give up privately held land and join collective farms.
Party official say the former Pakistani Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, is planning to return home on Sunday. Mr. Sharif first tried to end his 7-year exile in Saudi Arab in September but was deported. If he is allowed to enter Pakistan, he could arrive in time to file nomination papers before elections in January. Earlier the Election Commission in Pakistan ratified the appointment of President Pervez Musharraf for a second five-year term in office, clearing the way for him to become the civilian leader.
