Teenager told New Orleans police his half-sister stopped breathing after he slammed her on to bed and punched her stomach A 13-year-old boy has been charged with murder over the death of his five-year-old half-sister after he told investigators in New Orleans that he repeatedly struck her with wrestling moves imitated from TV.

The moves allegedly included slamming the girl on a bed, punching her in the stomach, jumping on her and striking her with his elbow.

Our thoughts are with their families at this most difficult time." A ...

Violence and protests could derail Bangladesh elections	18.6.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Fears mount that the eighth most populous country in the world will be plunged into chaos in runup to poll later this year. Fears are mounting in Bangladesh that violence and protests could derail elections later this year, though senior government officials are adamant that the polls will be free and fair. Following street clashes last month and with oppositions parties planning a campaign of protests that will build in intensity through the summer, many are concerned that Bangladesh, the eighth most populous country in the world, will be plunged into chaos in the runup to the poll. Violence and strikes six years ago led to polls being postponed and eventually the declaration of a state of emergency and a military-backed caretaker government. A controversial tribunal investigating alleged war crimes dating back 42 years has polarised an already-partisan political scene. More than 70 died after it delivered its judgments in February. Coming after the collapse of a factory producing ...

World Refugee Day: is it time to invest in refugee camps?	17.6.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
With millions living in refugee camps, how can innovations push beyond meeting their basic needs to harnessing their wellbeing and prosperity? Join our live debate on Thursday, 20 June Some 15 million people live in refugee camps around the world, according to the latest UN refugee agency (UNHCR) estimates. Though traditionally built by governments or international organisations to provide temporary shelter for displaced people, some camps become homes for refugees for decades or more. Limited resources, and the makeshift nature of many camps have meant that their priorities have often been limited to meeting emergency hygiene and healthcare needs of refugees. Increased funding and emerging medical , shelter and communication centred innovations have improved the quality and efficiency of emergency provisions in recent years. But with camps now accommodating two or more generations of refugees, shouldn't services evolve beyond emergency interventions? In a blog for the Network , ...

Nursing home death rates to be monitored by Care Quality Commission	17.6.2013	The Guardian -- Front Page
Plan represents attempt to assess whether elderly people are being failed by social care system Death rates in nursing homes are to be monitored by the health regulator in an attempt to assess whether elderly people are being failed by the social care system. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said it was considering how to assess whether a high number of deaths at a care home would spark an investigation. Care homes are required to report to the CQC when a resident dies – but BBC's Panorama, broadcast on Monday at 8.30pm, found that some homes had not notified the authorities. Brian Jarman, a professor at London's imperial college who co-founded the health statistics and research service Doctor Foster, said he had analysed data from the social care system and found "considerable variation in nursing homes". "You have to remember that this includes people with learning disabilities as well as the elderly. We are some way off having an indicator like standardised mortality rates that we ...

The food aid debate is a distraction	17.6.2013	Guardian: Science
US policymakers love discussing it, but the debate on food aid reform is getting tedious. Emergency interventions will always be necessary, but it is time to shift our focus to long-term solutions Since the global food price spikes of 2008-09 and the widespread riots that ensued, the world has begun to pay more attention to food security. The link between food and security is no longer a question. There's been a lot of debate recently in the US about food aid reform, especially since the US Agency for International Development (USAid) proposed a shift toward more cash programmes and increased local and regional purchase of food aid. But what's lost in the lively discussion on the hows and whys of food aid is a sense of long-term focus. While emergency intervention is all too often necessary, focusing on building capacity at the farm level offers long-term sustainability in addressing the root causes of food insecurity. Granted, this kind of market development work is difficult – it's a ...
