Israel broke law with use of cluster bombs in Lebanon: HRW

Human Rights Watch said Sunday that Israel breached international law when it bombed southern Lebanon with cluster weapons in 2006.

A 131-page report "Flooding South Lebanon: Israeli Use of Cluster Munitions in Lebanon in July and August 2006", made available to reporters at the United Nations Headquarters, said that Israel violated international humanitarian law with hundreds of "indiscriminate and disproportionate cluster munitions attacks on Lebanon."

Human Rights Watch said Israel had rained as many as 4.6 million submunitions, or cluster bomblets, across southern Lebanon - mostly in the final days of the war.

The report's lead author, Bonnie Docherty, said the United Nations must investigate whether Israel deliberately targeted civilians with the munitions.

Tracy mayor Ives to seek re-election

TRACY — Mayor Brent Ives has decided he wants to keep his job for another two years, so he has thrown his hat into the ring in a bid for re-election this fall and set up a rematch with slow-growth activist Celeste Garamendi.

But the wild card this November could come down to Tracy City Councilwoman Evelyn Tolbert, who has yet to announce whether or not she's going to run.

Late Thursday afternoon, in front of a small group of friends and family at the Great Plate in downtown Tracy, Ives announced his intentions to seek a second term as the city's mayor.

He said he made the decision to run "a couple of weeks ago," driven by several challenges currently before the City Council, including dealing with a budget deficit while maintaining public safety, getting a youth sports park built, the redevelopment of downtown and creating a college consortium.

Barnsley 0-0 Chelsea

He still manages to get in a shot which Cudicini does well to block with his legs. This is good stuff from Barnsley.

43 min: A really strange match, this. Long periods of absolutely bugger all to report, then the odd burst of hectic activity. Of which this isn't one. Still, it's better than Middlesbrough v Sheffield United. Chewing tin foil while being shot in the face would be better than Middlesbrough v Sheffield United. Here, in the absence of fun, allow us to SEXX YA UP. "Short shorts are essential apparel for 2008," pants Russell Child. "Gone are the days of Peter Beardsley, Kevin Keegan and Joe Jordan. Football players are much more attractive now. Let Fernando Torres and Ronaldo lead the way." Not everyone, however, is in the mood to see football's sexface. "Can you please stop eroticising Joe Cole," pleads Julian Menz.
