Depending on which dollar you're talking about.

Petol is about S$2 now per litre, that's about 70 pence.

Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has been detained by police during campaigning for the country's presidential election, his party says.

The Movement for Democratic Change leader was stopped at a roadblock north of Bulawayo at 1000 GMT, party spokesman Nelson Chamisa said.

Armed police surrounded an MDC convoy and refused to let them leave their vehicles, said Mr Chamisa.

"It appears they want to disrupt our campaign programme," he said.

It comes as Zimbabwe prepares for a run-off election between Mr Tsvangirai and President Robert Mugabe on 27 June.

Aid operations suspended

Mr Chamisa called for Mr Tsvangirai's immediate release, adding that without the intervention of the United Nations and the international community it would be impossible to hold free and fair elections in Zimbabwe.

The Zimbabwean government has also come under criticism for restricting the work of aid agencies operating in the country.

The operations of one of the largest groups - Care International - have been suspended amid allegations the group had been campaigning for the opposition.

Care denies that it "has encouraged or tolerated any political activity".

Defence officials have had to allay the concerns of Sydney office workers, who watched as an air force fighter chased what appeared to be a passenger plane.

Some people thought Australia's most populous city might be coming under attack.

Instead the Australian Defence Force was bidding farewell to one of its aircraft.

The media had been alerted about the fly-past over Sydney harbour bridge but not, apparently, the public.

A number of office workers decided to evacuate their skyscrapers after watching in alarm as a passenger plane flew low over Sydney harbour chased by an air force fighter.

After flying over the city the planes banked over the coast then headed back towards the central business district.

One eyewitness said the sight and sound of the planes was "terrifying".

Another said he'd never been so scared.

But rather than witnessing the pursuit of a hijacked plane, the office workers were watching a farewell flight.

One of the defence force's Boeing 707 aircraft was being retired from service, shadowed by a hawk fighter from which aerial photographs were being taken.


What do you make of this, Hugh :|

Breaking news:

One of my favourite actors, and one of Norway's most funny persons died this night. I actually got to greet him six or seven years ago when my dad and I ate lunch with him and a dude who is a friend of my father and the actor :lol:

Harald Heide Steen Jr. :notworthy:

Many other Norwegian actors have died the last years, so I think this completes the row.

RIP eh. And you met him? Wow.

BBC News
 
French-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt has hailed as a "miracle" her release from more than six years of captivity in the Colombian jungle.

"There is no historical precedent for such a perfect operation," she said.

Ms Betancourt and 14 other hostages were rescued without a shot being fired after rebels holding them were tricked into handing them over.

Colombian soldiers, posing as members of a non-government organisation, then flew them to freedom in a helicopter.

Ms Betancourt was held by left-wing Farc rebels for more than six years.

When the head of the operation to free the hostages told them that they were free, "the helicopter almost fell from the sky because we all jumped, shouted, cried and embraced", Ms Betancourt said.

"We couldn't believe it," she added.

Political aspiration

Also released on Wednesday were three Americans and 11 members of the Colombian security forces, all said to be in relatively good health.

The Americans - military contractors Marc Gonsalves, Thomas Howes and Keith Stansell - have flown back to Texas, where they are expected to be reunited with their families and undergo medical tests.

The Farc has been fighting to overthrow the Colombian government for 40 years. 

The group still holds hundreds of people hostage, but Ms Betancourt was their highest profile captive.

President Alvaro Uribe congratulated the army on the operation, and urged the Farc to release its remaining hostages and seek peace.

A pale Ms Betancourt smiled as she emerged with other hostages from a military plane in the Colombian capital, Bogota, to be embraced by her mother and husband.

She appealed to the Farc to free its remaining hostages and make peace.

She thanked Mr Uribe, against whom she was running as a presidential candidate when she was kidnapped, and said he "has been a very good president".

She added: "I continue to aspire to serve Colombia as president."

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who had made the rescue of Ms Betancourt a foreign policy priority, was joined by her family at his residence, the Elysee Palace in Paris.

The freed hostage's son, Lorenzo Delloye-Betancourt, told the news conference it was "the best moment of my life". His sister Melanie said it was like "emerging from a bad dream".

The siblings, accompanied by French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, are flying to Colombia to be reunited with their 46-year-old mother.

Video pictures released last November showed Ms Betancourt looking gaunt and frail.
Accounts from freed hostages that she was gravely ill heightened concerns for her welfare.

Precise details of how the rescue operation unfolded remain sketchy, but Colombian Defence Minister Juan Manuel Santos said the Farc rebels had been tricked into handing over the hostages.

He said that soldiers had posed as members of a fictitious non-government organisation that supposedly would fly the captives to a camp to meet rebel leader Alfonso Cano.

"The helicopters, which in reality were from the army, picked up the hostages in Guaviare and flew them to freedom," he said.

Intelligence agents had infiltrated the guerrilla ranks and duped the local commander in charge of the hostages, a man known as Cesar, the defence minister said.

Cesar and another rebel who boarded the helicopter had been quickly overpowered and would now face justice, he added.

'Without a scratch'

Ms Betancourt told a press conference that she had no idea she was being rescued until she saw Cesar naked and blindfolded on the floor of the aircraft.

"I saw this guerrilla commander, who had so often been cruel to us, on the floor," she said. "But I did not feel happiness. I felt sad."

Armed forces chief Gen Freddy Padilla said: "We wanted to have it happen as it did today. Without a single shot. Without anyone wounded. Absolutely safe and sound, without a scratch."

The US ambassador to Colombia, William Brownfield, said there had been "close co-operation" from the Americans, including the sharing of intelligence, equipment and training advice.

The rescued Americans were captured after their light aircraft crashed in the Colombian jungle in 2003.

The 11 members of the Colombian security forces who were released had been captured in various rebel attacks.

World leaders welcomed the news, and celebrations erupted on the streets of Colombian cities as crowds hailed the jungle rescue in a country plagued for decades by kidnappings.

The BBC's Jeremy McDermott in Medellin says the successful operation by Colombian security forces is a political and military coup for the country's government.

He adds that it is a major blow to the Farc, which had hoped to exchange some 60 political hostages for hundreds of rebels held by the Colombian government, and has now lost a powerful negotiating tool with Ms Betancourt's rescue.

The Farc still holds more than 40 high-profile hostages, among up to 700 other captives.

Ms Betancourt has dual citizenship as the result of marriage to a French diplomat - since dissolved - which produced her two children.

The politician was kidnapped in February 2002 while campaigning as a presidential candidate in territory controlled by the Farc.


Wow :eek:
