The ceasefire in Lebanon was holding by a thread last night after Israel sanctioned a commando raid in the east of the country. Kofi Annan, the United Nations secretary general, said Israel had violated the truce, and he was 'deeply concerned' about it. But the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, claimed that the attack was intended to prevent the supply of new weapons and ammunition to Hizbollah.

Inspectors also used evidence from 102 other school inspections for the report, which covered issues including school sport, meals and sex education.

Airline passengers throughout Europe face tougher security measures as part of a seven point anti-terrorism package. The EU is looking to introduce resources and methods for airlines to provide advance information about the passenger by creating a ‘profiling-system’ on those worthy of scrutiny. Critics argue that such measures will only accelerate the drive to building a surveillance infrastructure unparalleled in the free world.

His political approach has become a byword for populism and yesterday President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad endowed it with a hi-tech dimension by launching his own weblog. The hardline Iranian leader's debut on the international blogosphere came in the form of a 2,300-word tract that asked readers to decide if the US and Israel were trying to start a new world war.

Iran is to help with the reconstruction of Lebanon, it is estimated that $150m will be put towards this project; 15,000 families are promised year's rent and furniture. For 34 days they doggedly fought off the mighty Israeli army. But as a three-day-old ceasefire gathers traction, Hizbullah's hardened fighters are swapping their missile launchers for spades, brooms and briefcases of cash. "We want to bring south Lebanon back to life and rebuild it better than it was before the war," said Nabil Kaouk, Hizbullah's top official in southern Lebanon.

George Bush claims his country to be the bastion of democracy and the leader of the civilised world. Put aside what you have seen off US foreign policy and the influence of the Israeli Lobby, have a look at some of these chilling facts. They call it Democracy.

In an open letter they say British policy is putting civilians at increased risk in the UK and abroad. The letter, to appear in press adverts, also points to the "debacle" of Iraq and the failure to secure an immediate end to attacks in the Middle East.

The Bush administration scored a major victory Thursday in its efforts to criminally prosecute journalists and others involved in the leaking and reporting of classified information. A federal district court in Virginia refused to dismiss a criminal indictment brought by the Bush Justice Department under the Espionage Act of 1917 against two former employees of the American-Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC), who are alleged to have received classified information from a former Bush defense department official, and then passed it on to a journalist and an Israeli diplomat.
