Brown in India

Britain and India should step up cooperation in the fight against terrorism and work together to isolate militants, prime-minister Gordon-Brown said on Sunday.

Brown, on his first visit to India as prime minister, said he would like to see India join an international body that fights money laundering and terrorist financing, the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force.

"What I would like to see is greater contact between our two countries in winning the battle of hearts and minds, isolating extremist ideologies who try to poison young people," Brown told a news conference.

Aid-Pledge
Brown arrived bearing promises of hundreds of millions of dollars of development aid to combat poverty in India, where 400 million people live on less than $1 a day despite the country's rapid economic-growth.

Britain said that over the next three years it will give India £825 million in development aid, with more than half spent on health and education.

Russia has been accused of intimidation after the British Council reluctantly agreed to suspend operations in St. Petersburg and Ekaterinburg.

Britain-Russia: Rift grows

Britain yesterday accused Russia of staining its international-reputation by using "blatant intimidation" against staff of the British Council.

In unusually blunt terms, David-Miliband, UK foreign secretary, said Moscow's "reprehensible" tactics against the British cultural body were reminiscent of the cold-war".

He spoke of "anger and dismay" at actions he said were directly linked to the bitter dispute over the 2006 murder of Alexander-Litvinenko, the former KGB officer.

Cutting crime in London

The Liberal-Democrat Mayoral candidate Brian-Paddick has promised to cut crime in London by 20%.

He said: "I have a track record of performance against Londoners' number one concern; crime... It's time for someone who can stop the slaughter on our streets. Mr Paddick, who resigned from the Metropolitan Police in May 2007, will be competing with mayor Ken-Livingstone, and the Tory candidate Boris-Johnson.

As the Met-Police Commander for Lambeth, his approach to cannabis - which saw officers cautioning rather than arresting - brought him to prominence.

ID-card for you?

Identity cards might-become compulsory for all Britons, Gordon-Brown has appeared to suggest.

Anyone getting a passport from 2010 will have to get a card, and ministers had said they would be compulsory for all if Labour won the next election.

The scheme will see anyone applying for a passport having to give their biometric details for a identity-register, although it will be possible to opt-out.

Mr Brown said he believed the government would be able to persuade British citizens of the benefits of identity-cards.
