Excerpt:

A leading diamond trade watchdog fees that $ 2 billion well worth of diamonds have actually been taken from Zimbabwe's eastern diamond fields and have actually enriched President Robert Mugabe's ruling circle and international gem suppliers. Collaboration Africa Canada-- a member of the Kimberley Process, the world regulatory body on the diamond trade-- provided a report Monday that affirms Zimbabwe's Marange fields have actually been plundered by the Mugabe routine. The report stated vast earnings from Zimbabwe's eastern Marange fields -- one of the world 's greatest diamond deposits-- have actually not reached the state treasury. The PAC report, released Monday to correspond with the Zimbabwe government's conference on the diamond trade here in Victoria Falls, casts a shadow over the Mugabe routine 's effort to win international respectability for its gem trade.

CHENGDU, China –  The U.S. and Chinese militaries on Friday wrapped up a modest disaster-relief exercise hailed as a tentative step in building trust between armed forces that often view each other as adversaries. While not a full-fledged operation, the two-day exercise at People's Liberation Army barracks outside the city of Chengdu consisted of U.S. and Chinese officers sitting around a table facing a flat-panel video screen and discussing how they would respond to an earthquake in a fictional third country. Though this was the eighth meeting to discuss disaster relief, it was the first time both sides discussed a joint response to a simulated disaster. The leading officers called that a step forward in building familiarity and trust. U.S. Major General Stephen Lyons said the exercise began the groundwork for the day when the two militaries will operate side-by-side in an actual humanitarian operation. "I think it's very conceivable.
