Cluster bomb ban treaty is signed
More than 100 nations, including the UK, have signed a treaty to ban current designs of cluster bombs.
Diplomats have agreed to back an international ban on the manufacture, use or stockpiling of the munitions, following 12 days of talks in Dublin.
Some 111 countries including the US, Russia and China have been urged to reconsider boycotting the treaty.
UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called the treaty a "big step forward to make the world a safer place".

US chain drops 'terror scarf' ad
The US chain Dunkin' Donuts has pulled an advert following complaints that the scarf worn by a celebrity chef offered symbolic support for Islamic extremism.
The online advert for iced coffee featured the well-known US television chef Rachael Ray.
She was wearing a black-and-white checked scarf around her neck that resembled a traditional Arab keffiyeh.
This fashion choice incensed at least one prominent conservative blogger, who said it evoked extremist videos.
