US President Barack Obama isn't wasting any time in his bid for a second term. A full year and a half away from the next presidential election, Barack Obama has launched his campaign on YouTube. Now his Republican rivals are still a long way off from choosing their candidate. Prominent Republicans Mitt 1 Romney and Tim Pawlenty are among possible contenders.
The Obama administration has abandoned plans to try the alleged 2 mastermind of the September 11 attacks in a civilian 3 court. The government says Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four co-accused will now be tried by a military commission at Guantanamo Bay instead. The Attorney General Eric Holder 4 says while he believes a civilian court is still the best option, his hands have now been tied by Congress.
The UN's atomic watchdog says a business as usual approach to safety is no longer good enough for the nuclear industry. It's pushing instead for much more stringent 5 safety standards in the wake of Japan's nuclear disaster. The organisation 6 says nuclear energy remains 7 an important energy source in dealing 8 with climate change, and more needs to be done to reduce the risk of future accidents.
The United Nations is getting tough with the Ivory Coast's recalcitrant 9 leader. Its helicopters have fired on Laurent Gbagbo's residence, presidential palace and also military bases in Abidjan.
