There is a decision to hold the troops that are sent to Afghanistan. President Barack Obama informed the servicemen that, only when there is an essential need, will he be sending more troops to Afghanistan.  Barack Obama also informed that new strategies are also being worked out to resolve the issue.

Head of strategy and planning at Number 10, Downing Street resigns and Prime Minister Gordon Brown accepts his resignation. McBride’s management of fuel crisis in 2000 impressed the then chancellor. Why he has resigned? Leaked emails proved that McBride accompanied with former labour spin doctor has planned to create a web site named Red Rag and dump notorious rumours about opposition Tory leaders and their spouses. These issues made Davis Cameron, leader of the Tory party infuriate and insisted the prime minister for apology. Brown said that such material is no more in the politics and it was discarded earlier this year. Although Brown has not passed any public comments on this issue, he has accepted McBride’s resignation.
