Will they eat cookie or cake? A British court decides.

>>Uganda - Yesterday, Joseph Kony, the notorious leader of the LRA, balked at signing a final peace deal with the Ugandan government once again, and he fired his top negotiator as well (some sources say he quit). Kony is reportedly skiddish about how Uganda's courts would dole out the justice that Kony insisted not be carried out by the ICC; these specifics were worked out by his top negotiator.

>>North Korea - North Korea and the United States appear to have worked out a deal under which North Korea would acknowledge U.S. concerns and evidence about its nuclear program, as well as disclose its plutonium enrichment program, in lieu of the full report that the nation has delayed producing. In return the U.S. would drop two key economic sanctions.

>>Olympics - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will not attend the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, due to "scheduling issues." His spokesman said that he is planning a "substantive visit" instead. Gordon Brown and Angela Merkel will also not attend.

>>Gaza - Israel has cut off the fuel supply to Gaza a day after Palestinian militants attacked Gaza's sole fuel distribution center (located in Israel) and killed two civilians. Gaza is already under a blockade that denies the area all but humanitarian essentials.
