NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
CARACAS. VENEZUELA
Leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean pledged closer ties to safeguard their economies from the world financial crisis as they formed a new bloc on Saturday including every nation in the hemisphere except the U.S. and Canada.
Several presidents stressed during the two-day summit that they hope to ride out turbulent times by boosting local industries and increasing trade within the region.
MOSCOW
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's party was struggling to reach 50 percent in Russia's parliamentary election, suggesting Russians were wearying of the man who has dominated Russian politics for more than a decade.
Rival parties and election monitors said even this figure was inflated, alleging ballot-stuffing and other significant violations at the polls. Many expressed fears that the vote count would be manipulated.
LUSAKA, ZAMBIA
Zambia has dismissed an international rights group's call for the arrest on torture charges of former President George W. Bush, who has been touring Africa to raise cancer awareness.
As Bush, his wife and daughters ended their visit to Zambia on Saturday, state media quoted Foreign Affairs Minister Chishimba Kambwili as saying only the International Criminal Court could call for an international arrest.
BEIJING
Two giant pandas are flying from China to Scotland, where they will become the first pandas to live in Britain in nearly two decades.
The pandas are to stay for 10 years at Edinburgh Zoo, where officials hope they will breed during their stay.
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland will pay more than 600,000 pounds ($935,000) a year to China for the loan of Sweetie and Sunshine, not including the expense of imported bamboo.
NICE SAVE, KU!
By partnering with the City of Lawrence in the Take Charge! Challenge and making energy efficient changes on campus, students and staff at the University of Kansas helped your community save big when it comes to energy. Your community and campus collective contributions, sparked by the efforts of an enthusiastic leadership team, saved enough energy to power 464 average homes for an entire year. Congratulations for helping Lawrence save more energy than any other participating community.
Saving suits you, Jayhawks!
