In chaotic scenes, police rescued Judge Michael Peake from the clutches of a mob and escorted him safely from the County Court in Birkenhead, Merseyside.
Officers were force to scramble over court benches to control the near riot as one protester shouted to 'seal the court'. Another sat in the judge's chair at the head of the court and declared the defendant be released

A key trend is rising food prices due to severe weather, droughts, surging populations and political instability. The riots in Egypt were as much about food as Freedom. Neil Roubini, who predicted the economic crisis, predicts that inflating food prices are the next threat. China is grappling with two potential crises. The first is water for their 1.3 Billion population - as well as livestock. China's Communist leaders have ignored environmental regulations for the sake of economic boom times, resulting in some of the world's worst pollution. And so their water supplies are dwindling.
What a difference a few months can make. Back in, say, October, the chatter was about Asia’s invulnerability to Wall Street’s woes. Now, governments in Jakarta, Manila and New Delhi are grappling with their own subprime crisis of sorts. This one reflects a toxic mix of suboptimal food stocks, exploding demand, wacky weather and zero interest rates around the globe.
And also this situation:
What’s killing households surviving on a few dollars a day is price volatility. If you spend almost half of your income to fill bellies, a 10 percent surge in cooking oil, wheat or chili peppers is devastating. It’s hard enough to pay rent and handle health-care costs today, never mind investing in education.
Governments need to get busy softening the blow, even at the expense of rattling the folks at Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service. Otherwise, they will have a bigger crisis on their hands than voters or investors alike can stomach.

President Mubarak of Egypt resigned, whereby the Egyptian military assumed power. The question remains how long will the Egyptian military maintain that power amidst a transition. And if the Muslim Brotherhood will push for a more Islamic state.
CAIRO – Egypt exploded with joy, tears, and relief after President Hosni Mubarak resigned as president, forced out by 18 days of mass protests that culminated in huge marches Friday on his presidential palaces and state television. The military took power after protesters called for it to intervene and oust their leader of three decades.
And this ominous correlation...
His fall came 32 years to the day after the collapse of the shah's government in Iran.
WASHINGTON – Caught up in stunning news like the rest of the world, President Barack Obama was in an Oval Office meeting Friday when he learned of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's resignation. He watched the celebration on television and prepared to make an afternoon statement. |

It is suspected that the information leaked to China must be related to the Po Sheng (Broad Victory) system, which Taiwan is considering purchasing from the U.S. defense contractor Lockheed Martin for $1.6 billion. If Taiwan gets the system, it will be able to access U.S. intelligence systems. It is also believed that the information about army's underground optical fibre network system as well as army's acquisition of 30 Boeing-made Apache AH-64D Longbow attack helicopters may also have been leaked.
Major General Arrested as Chinese Spy
Wang Ming-wo (王明我), acting director of the General Political Warfare Bureau, told a press conference yesterday that Major General Lo Hsien-che (羅賢哲), head of communications and electronic information at the Army Command Headquarters, was detained on Jan. 25.
Agents from national security bureaus and military prosecutors searched Lo’s office and room in the Army Command Headquarters and his residence and seized confidential documents, Wang said.
Wang said Lo was allegedly recruited by Chinese agents in 2004 in the middle of a 2002 to 2005 posting in Thailand, and could not have done much damage after returning to Taiwan. |

If Wikileaks is to be believed, then Al Qaida is advancing on the use of both nuclear and bioterrorism weapons. This is based on a NATO conference:
At a Nato meeting in January 2009, security chiefs briefed member states that al-Qaida was plotting a program of "dirty radioactive IEDs", makeshift nuclear roadside bombs that could be used against British troops in Afghanistan.
As well as causing a large explosion, a "dirty bomb" attack would contaminate the area for many years.
The briefings also state that al-Qaida documents found in Afghanistan in 2007 revealed that "greater advances" had been made in bioterrorism than was previously realized. An Indian national security adviser told American security personnel in June 2008 that terrorists had made a "manifest attempt to get fissile material" and "have the technical competence to manufacture an explosive device beyond a mere dirty bomb".
