EU allows Britain to resume nearly all meat exports
Excerpt:
"European Union veterinary experts agreed on Thursday to let all of Britain, except part of the county of Surrey, resume exports of live animals, meat and dairy products to other EU countries, the EU executive said.
The vets, representing the EU's 27 member countries, backed a European Commission proposal to limit export restrictions to a surveillance zone in Surrey, 10 km around the area where two outbreaks of foot and mouth disease were confirmed this month."

UK paper backs Rudd over strip club visit
Excerpt:
"ONE of Britain's leading conservative newspapers has sprung to the defence of Australian Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd over his controversial visit to a New York strip club.
The Daily Telegraph said that while it must have been embarrassing for Rudd to admit he went to Manhattan's Scores gentlemen's club three years ago, he had nothing to be ashamed of.
"... any visitor to a foreign city wants to see the sights, and for someone from a country as rich in heritage as Australia, the Big Apple has little to offer," the newspaper's editorial column said.
"The striptease, which was invented there, is one of its major cultural attractions, and should not be missed.
"Besides, Mr Rudd went to the club as a guest of a local newspaper editor, whom it would have been rude to refuse."
Rudd has apologised for a lapse in judgment in going to the club in September 2003, while on a taxpayer-funded visit to the UN."
