The British government began tracking radioactive hotspots in London on Monday to trace the poison that killed a former KGB agent, and three people who reported possible symptoms of contamination underwent testing.Britain announced a formal inquest into the death of Alexander Litvinenko, but Home Secretary John Reid warned against rushing to conclusions over who m stanley flask ight be res stanley cup ponsible for the killing of the ex-spy turned Kremlin critic.Litvinenko died Thursday after falling ill from what doctors said was poisoning by polonium-210, a radioactive isotope usually manufactured in specialized nuclear facilities. High doses o stanley us f polonium, which is deadly if ingested or inhaled, were found in Litvinenko s body. The nature of this radiation is such that it does not travel over long distances, a few centimeters at most, and therefore there is no need for public alarm, Reid said in a special address to the House of Commons.Six sites showed traces of radiation linked to the poisoning, including a bar in London s Millennium Hotel, a branch of Itsu Sushi near Piccadilly Circus, Litvinenko s house in North London and a section of the hospital where he was treated when he fell ill on Nov. 1.

The ongoing war inUkrainehas taken a deadly toll and forced millions of people, mostly women and children, to leave their homes. Now, one young piano prodigy from Greece is sending a musical message and a plea to those responsible: Us children, we have the right to peace. Please stop this war. Nine-year-old Stelios Kersadis wrote an original composition, titled Anti-War Etude as a dedication to those in Ukraine. I couldn t stand to see so much pain and so many people suffering any longer, he said. My weapons are my piano and my notes, and with this piece I would like to send a musical message for peace to the whole world. On March 19, UNICEF said that more than 1.5 million children alone had fled Ukraine as refugees since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion on February 24. Countless others, the organization said, have been displaced.The numbers are only growing.

Israel expelled two Palestinians from the West Bank, driving them blindfolded into the Gaza Strip and leaving them stanley bottles at stanley cups a deserted fig orchard Wednesday - the first time Israel has forced relatives of militants to leave their home areas.Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat condemned the c stanley romania ourt-sanctioned expulsions as a crime against humanity that violates all human and international laws. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan echoed Arafat s assessment. Such transfers are strictly prohibited by international humanitarian law and could have very serious political and security implications, said Annan spokesman Fred Eckhard.Annan also expressed concern over a recent wave of Palestinian civilian deaths in Israeli military attacks and reminded the Jewish state of its obligations under international humanitarian law to protect civilians. While the secretary-general has consistently condemned suicide bombings and upheld Israel s right to defend itself, he wishes to stress that self-defense cannot justify measures that amount to collective punishments, Eckhard told reporters at U.N. headquarters. Israel s military maintains that the threat of sanctions against relatives is a powerful deterrent for Palestinian militants who might be planning attacks.Meanwhile, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said that for the first time in nearly two years of violence, he sees the possibility of a political settlement with the Palestinians because many now realize they cannot defeat Israel by force.Exp

The number of U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan has roughly doubled in the first three months of 2010 compared to the same period last year as Washington has added tens of thousands of additional soldiers to reverse the Taliban s momentum.Those deaths have been accompanied by a dramatic spike in the number of wounded, with injuries more than tripling in the first two months of the year and trending in the same direction based on the latest available data for March.U.S. officials have warned that casualties are likely to rise even further as the Pentagon completes its deployment of 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and sets its sights on the Taliban s home base of Kandahar province, where a major operation is expected in the coming months.

PARIS -- Six French climbers died in a fall on France s Mont Blanc after a night of snow and wind on Western Europe s tallest mountain, offic adidas yeezyslide ials said Wednesday.August is the height of the climbing season on Mont Blanc, where even in the warmest months storms can strike quickly. High winds buffeted the area where the group fell, said Jean-Baptiste Estachy, head of the Mont Blanc rescue squad.CBS News Elaine Cobbe reports that local officials complain many ignore the dangers on the mountain - but very experienced climbers have lost their lives there too. Two Irish and two Finnish alpinists died in separate incidents last month.Estachy said five bodies were found Wednesday morning and the body of the sixth victim was later pulled out from the bottom of a crevasse.The six included five experienced cl dunks shoes imbers and a guide. An investigation to uncover the exact cause of the accident was underway. The climbers were taking part in a two-week mountaineering course with the guide and were reported missing overnight when they failed to return to a refuge. They had been on mizuno volleyballschuhe a planned trip to the Aiguille d Argentiere, which tops out around 3,900 meters 12,800 feet .Mont Blanc, in addition to its primary peak, contains some 200 summits and touches France, Switzerland and Italy.
