The United Nations is set to issue

an unprecedented appeal to the United States

and its coalition allies to halt the war on Afghanistan

and allow time for a huge relief operation.

UN sources in Pakistan said growing concern

over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the country

- in part, they say, caused by the relentless bombing campaign -

has forced them to take the radical step.

Aid officials estimate that up to 7.5 million Afghans

might be threatened with starvation.

Total handgun ban

[ is ] set to become law in Britain

 

A total ban on handguns in Britain is set to become law

after the Government extended it

to include the disabled and competition shooters.

The Firearms (Amendment) Bill

extends the handgun ban introduced

in the wake of the Dunblane massacre

to include all smaller .22 weapons.

On Monday, MPs voted by 291 votes to 155

to overturn an amendment by the House of Lords

that would have allowed disabled people

to carry on using small-calibre weapons.

Later, they voted by 292 votes to 160

to reverse another amendment by peers,

which would have allowed

international competition shooters

to continue practising at approved centres.

The measure now returns to the Lords,

where peers can try to insist on their amendments

but are unlikely to do so,

allowing the measure to go for Royal Assent.
