| Nordic countries pay tribute to double attack victims | |
| Published on 25 Jul 2011 by Euronews All Nordic countries have observed a minute's silence for the victims of Friday's double attack in Norway. A custody hearing for Anders Behring Breivik, the man charged, will be closed to the media and public, a judge has ruled. 93 people are said to have been killed but police say they will probably revise down the number of victims from the shooting. However, the destruction caused by the bomb in Oslo has left many buildings too fragile to be searched, prompting fears more bodies may be buried within. | |

| Historic judgment as UK Government loses court battle on Kenyan colonial torture | |
| Uploaded by AlJazeeraEnglish on 21 Jul 2011 Four elderly Kenyans have been given approval from a London high court to sue the British government over alleged atrocities committed during the Mau Mau uprising. The decision on Thursday to take proceedings to the next stage is a setback for the Foreign Office which had argued that the British government should not be held liable because legal responsibility has passed on to the present Kenyan government.

| Detailing Greece's second bailout deal | |
| Uploaded by AlJazeeraEnglish on 21 Jul 2011 In a crucial summit, eurozone leaders agreed to a second bailout deal for Greece. The country's inability to pay back its mountain of debt had led to fears that other European countries struggling with debt may also run into trouble. That's the reason French President Nicolas Sarkozy said the EU planned to seize the Greek crisis so as to make a quantum leap in eurozone governance and prevent any further problems. Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull has the details from Brussels. | |

| Al-Shabab says aid group ban remains in place | |
| Uploaded by AlJazeeraEnglish on 22 Jul 2011 Aid agencies are pressing ahead with help for drought hit victims in the Horn of Africa. But that is becoming harder with Al-Shabab rebels in Somalia now saying that a ban on foreign aid remains in place. In a transit refugee camp in Dolo Ado, Al Jazeera's Peter Greste reports that some of the newest arrivals in the camp say that Al-Shabab appears to be stopping people from actually trying to cross the border. "We cannot verify that ofcourse but certainly the...stories we are hearing is that there simply is no food out there; that the security situation is deteriorating, there is a lot of fighting going on; that people simply have no choice but to move if they possibly can," he said. Greste says 1500 people are arriving in Dadaab daily, while 200-500 people are arriving in Dolo Ado from the initial 2000 people. The rebel group has also accused the UN of exaggerating the drought, calling it propaganda. But charities say it is the group's blockade of aid since 2009 that has caused a famine in areas under its control. | |

| Murdoch Hacking Scandal Animated (Taiwan style) | |
| Uploaded by NMAWorldEdition on 8 Jul 2011 http://www.nma.tv/ The NOTW is England's best selling Sunday paper. It is part of Rupert Murdoch's News International Group, run by his protégé, Rebekah Brooks and his son, James Murdoch. In 2006 it was revealed NOTW journalists had hacked royals' and celebs' voicemails. Now it's emerged they also hacked those of murder victims and dead soldiers' families. For years its execs' cosy relationship with the political elite kept it out of trouble. But that may change now it has also admitted paying off the police. Disgusted by the latest hacking revelations, many are clamoring for Brooks' resignation. Murdoch, however, chose to shutter NOTW but keep Brooks. Will it be enough to sate the growing blood lust and save Murdoch's planned buyout of BskyB? | |
