Robert Mugabe get away with this:
The “grim” discovery was made at a government-run cholera treatment centre in Chegutu, south of Harare, by the aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres, which found patients with no supply of food or even water.

Homosexuality is illegal
Two young gay men about to be hanged in Iran.
This was from the blog Will and Testament http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ni/
Homosexuality is illegal in nearly half of the world’s nations. In most of those countries which ban consensual adult same-sex relationships, the penalties range from a few years in jail to life imprisonment. But in the case of seven countries, all governed by Islamic law, the sentence is death.
Two of those countries, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria, will sit on the U.N. Human Rights Council in 2009. The picture here shows two young gay men about to be hanged in Iran.
Most complex crop circle
The most complex, “mind-boggling” crop circle ever to be seen in Britain has been discovered in a barley field in Wiltshire.
The formation, measuring 150ft in diameter, is apparently a coded image representing the first 10 digits, 3.141592654, of pi.
It is has appeared in a field near Barbury Castle, an iron-age hill fort above Wroughton, Wilts, and has been described by astrophysicists as “mind-boggling”.
Lucy Pringle, a researcher of crop formations, said: “This is an astounding development – it is a seminal event.”
Mice caused firefighter to abandon station
The officer was sent to open the building at Waltham Abbey, Essex, but fled after spotting the tiny creatures and refused to start the night-shift.
The station was closed for two hours on December 5 until the firefighter was ordered back to work by bosses.
Waltham Abbey has a single fire engine and is crewed by regulars during the day but at night retained part-timers take over and answer any emergency calls.
A fire brigade insider said: “He may have a phobia about mice which is odd because firemen have to deal with all sort of animals in their work – including things like angry bulls – so a mouse should not have been a problem. “
Teddy bears in space:
Two teddy bears have been sent on a space mission, propelled 100,000ft into the stratosphere on a weather balloon.
The toys, named MAT and KMS, were decked out in custom-made space suits and launched more than 18 miles above the Earth in the four-hour expedition.
A laptop attached to a webcam captured these stunning images of the bears looking down on Earth from nearly 100,000ft.
Pupils from nearby Parkside and Coleridge community colleges assisted scientists by creating space suits to stop the teddies from freezing solid
Thia Unsworth, 12, from Parkside College, helped to design the spacesuit for MAT.
She said: “It was unbelievable to see the balloon take off and it’s incredible to see the pictures of the teddy bears in space.
