NEWS REPORT
* According to a BBC report, China has blocked residents from accessing the
popular search engine Google. Use of Google is widespread in China because
it is simple and easy to run searches in Chinese. Beijing officials
occasionally block foreign news sites or force domestic sites to remove or
alter content, but this is the first time they have blocked a search engine.
* Delegates to the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg
say they have come to an agreement on renewable energy sources calling upon
countries to “substantially increase” the global share of renewable energy.
The agreement fails to set any target percentages or dates, but is an
important step in reaching a consensus for a final declaration that
delegates hope to sign at the end of the summit on Wednesday.
* A facility that Iraqi officials say the West suspects of being an arms
site was opened to reporters yesterday, continuing Iraq’s campaign to
refute U.S. allegations that Iraq is stockpiling weapons of mass
destruction. Facing the threat of a U.S. military attack, Iraq has said it
would discuss a possible return of United Nations weapons inspectors with
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan at the Earth Summit in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
