TORTURE? EXECUTION?
------------------------------------------------------------------------

German Justice Through the Eyes of a Somali Pirate
A courtroom in Hamburg is the scene of a head-on collision between two
worlds as the German justice system tries 10 Somali pirates who hijacked
a cargo ship. The pirates, some of whom are under 18, had no idea what a
court or a trial was and were afraid they would be tortured -- or
executed -- by the judge.

Why German Nuclear Worries Are Both Wrong and Harmful
An increasing number of Germans are convinced that nuclear energy is
more dangerous than the alternatives. Their fears are understandable --
but wrong. What's worse, their emotional and over-politicized reaction
at home is sowing more fear and distrust in Japan.

THE BATTLE AGAINST GADHAFI

NATO Fears War without End in Libya
The front in Libya is barely moving as the country remains split between
rebels and Gadhafi's troops. The rebels are complaining of not receiving
enough air support, but NATO is hardly in a position to ramp it up after
the withdrawal of US fighter jets. The resulting stalemate underscores
the lack of a clear strategy for the allies in Libya.

euros worth of cost overruns. Airbus Military say the first planes will
be delivered in late 2012.
