 Trust Eroded, Obama Looks Beyond Karzai

By MARK LANDLER and HELENE COOPER

President Obama is apparently resigned to dealing with the next Afghan president on troop withdrawals and training, since President Hamid Karzai has refused to sign a long-term security agreement.


The tragedy was the worst in Latvia's peacetime history: 54 people killed and dozens injured when a supermarket roof in the capital Riga collapsed. The Latvian government's lacklustre response epitomised a government failing: an unsympathetic approach to Latvians' daily concerns. That seems to be why the prime minister, Valdis Dombrovskis, suddenly tendered his resignation on November 27th http://econ.st/1iTl8Bj

Purnell resignation letter


James purnell
The country is owed a "real choice", says James Purnell

Work and pensions secretary James Purnell has stepped down from the cabinet and told Gordon Brown to "stand aside". Here is a copy of his resignation letter to the prime minister in full.
Dear Gordon,
We both love the Labour Party. I have worked for it for 20 years and you for far longer. We know we owe it everything and it owes us nothing.
I owe it to our party to say what I believe no matter how hard that may be. I now believe your continued leadership makes a Conservative victory more, not less likely.
That would be disastrous for our country. This moment calls for stronger regulation, an active state, better public services, an open democracy.
It calls for a government that measures itself by how it treats the poorest in society.
Those are our values, not David Cameron's.
We therefore owe it to our country to give it a real choice. We need to show that we are prepared to fight to be a credible government and have the courage to offer an alternative future.
I am therefore calling on you to stand aside to give our party a fighting chance of winning. As such I am resigning from government.
The party was here long before us, and we want it to be here long after we have gone. We must do the right thing by it.
I am not seeking the leadership, nor acting with anyone else. My actions are my own considered view, nothing more.
If the consensus is that you should continue, then I will support the government loyally from the backbenches. But I do believe that this question now needs to be put.
Thank you for giving me the privilege of serving.
Yours,
Rt Hon James Purnell MP
