Right on, Bush
US President George W Bush praised Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki as the 'right guy' for Iraq and said he agreed that partitioning the country would only increase violence.
The comments came after US officials insisted the Iraqi leader was not offended by a critical White House memo and had not snubbed Mr Bush in Amman on Wednesday when the two had been expected to hold an initial meeting.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she hoped Israelis and Palestinians would broaden their fragile ceasefire as she began a new push to revive stalled peace talks in the Middle East.
But Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he had reached a 'dead end' in talks on forming a unity government with Hamas Islamists.
Britain is monitoring five planes for radiation in an ever-widening probe into the poisoning of a former Russian spy that has heightened tensions with Moscow. British Home Secretary John Reid told parliament that radioactive traces had been found at 12 out of 24 locations being checked by police and pledged there would be no political barriers to the probe.
