Thousands of anti-government protesters have marched in Beirut, calling for political reform. They are calling for an end to sectarian power sharing.

Hundreds of people have marched through the streets of the Afghan capital Kabul demanding the withdrawal 4 of foreign troops. The protest was prompted by the deaths of nine children who were killed in a NATO air raid in a remote part of the country.

And the Federal Government admits it’s having trouble selling a carbon tax but denies it’s losing the debate. The Acting 5 Prime Minister Wayne Swan has acknowledged there’s confusion about the plan. He says it’s the big polluters and not householders who’ll pay the tax.
