pope getes arrested in UK

Pope Benedict XVI will not call off a trip to Great Britain despite a leaked Foreign Office memo that made "foolish" suggestions about things he could do while there, the pope's spokesman reiterated on Monday.

"As far as the Vatican is concerned, the case is closed. There never was the slightest doubt about the trip," the Rev. Federico Lombardi told CNN.

The British government apologized over the weekend for the Foreign Office memo suggesting that the pope could launch Benedict-brand condoms or bless a gay marriage when he visits the United Kingdom later this year.

The three men bidding to be the next prime minister are going head-to-head on live television for the first time in British political history.Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg are making opening statements before debating questions chosen by viewers and the audience.

The party leaders have been rehearsing intensively for the 90 minute debate, being broadcast on ITV.Nick Clegg, who won the draw to make an opening statement first, told the studio audience "I believe the way things are is not the way things have to be" and voters to "do something different this time" by voting Liberal Democrat.


My reaction was that they never had a televition election befor was astounding beacuse i thought that every country and every state would have a election on t.v.
