Archbishop confronts Anglican rebels says the Guardian

The Archbishop of Canterbury last night directly challenged the rebel Anglicans who have launched a breakaway faction within the global communion. In unusually forthright language, he accused them of lacking legitimacy, authority and, by implication, integrity.

Fed up Brits should come to Canada, says Minister sent to lure workers to emigrate

Canada is putting skilled British workers on a fast track for immigration visas to exploit our soaring cost of living.
Its officials believe superior public services and the ability to weather economic turmoil will lure Britons fed up with fuel and food prices and with the state of schools and hospitals.
Alberta's employment minister Hector Goudreau has been sent to this country to 'target' those tempted by a new life overseas.
It is one of the most audacious recruitment raids since Australia poached a million Britons - known as the Ten Pound Poms after the ship fare they paid - in the 1950s and 60s.

The Guardian reports from the African summit where Criticism remains muted as defiant Mugabe joins discussion on Zimbabwe's future

African leaders pointedly avoided public criticism of Robert Mugabe yesterday as he arrived in Egypt for a summit expected to press him to negotiate with the opposition that his Zanu-PF party bullied out of last week's election.
The African Union summit allowed the 84-year-old leader to take his seat, despite strong criticism from African election monitors who questioned the legitimacy of Friday's uncontested vote

The Independent reports that

At a summit of the 53 member states of the African Union – in which stable democracies remain a minority – Mr Mugabe was praised as a "hero" by the veteran President of Gabon, Omar Bongo.
Although he was not addressed as "Mr President" by fellow summiteers gathered in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, the embattled Zimbabwean leader was comforted by speeches in which few spoke out about the political violence in his country. His most vocal opponent, President Levy Patrick Mwanawasa of Zambia, suffered a stroke and was rushed to hospital on the eve of the summit.

Sarkozy went on national television to outline his intentions, portraying himself as Europe's guardian in a time of anxiety and confusion. "We must not be afraid of the word protection," he declared. "We have to reflect on how to turn Europe into a means of protecting Europeans in their everyday lives."
