Obama to end week-long trip to Europe today

Tuesday, 7 April 2009

Barack Obama is due to end his first overseas trip as US President today.

Mr Obama has attended a series of engagements in Europe over the past week, including the G20 summit in London, a NATO meeting in Strasbourg and a conference of EU leaders in Prague.

He is currently in Turkey, where he has been seeking to reach out a hand to the Islamic world.

Mr Obama is due to head back to the US this afternoon after visiting two of Istanbul's most historic buildings, the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia Church.

Don't let sisters stop you looking for love, Cheryl

What's wrong with wanting a man? I ask because lately I've lost count of the miserable, lonely female celebrities being told by other women that they should stay single.

Seeing is believing when it comes to the justice system

A Bill in the Queen’s Speech will, hopefully, speed up the process of letting some more sunlight into Northern Ireland’s rather musty justice system.

So that's why their pupils were glazed in Play School

Odd period, the 1970s. I've tended to deride them as grim, which they certainly were, but I appreciate now the music and, er, that's about it. They weren't particularly happy years in Northern Ireland.

Tragedy is opportunity for conflict resolution envoys

The Good Friday Agreement is a cure for which there is no known illness. Nowhere in its 11,000 words does it identify the problem which it purports to solve.
