EU demands for aid work to resume in Zimbabwe

Saturday, 7 June 2008

The European Union is demanding that aid agencies be allowed to work again in Zimbabwe.

President Robert Mugabe has banned them carrying out field work over claims they're campaigning for the opposition.

The charities are now unable to hand out food rations, and it is feared up to 4m people could be left starving.

Judith Melby from Christian Aid has completely refuted Mr Mugabe's allegations.

"Aid agencies in Zimbabwe are working there with humanitarian purposes and there is a huge humanitarian task there, but absolutely categorically Christian Aid are not working hand in glove with the opposition," she said.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
