Leaders of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have assured poor and vulnerable countries that they will not be sidelined in efforts to tackle the worsening financial turmoil. The two institutions unanimously agreed that "aid flow must be maintained" to developing countries to prevent a poverty crisis amid escalating food and fuel prices.

The president of Zimbabwe has sworn in two vice-presidents after unilaterally appointing members of his ruling Zanu-PF party to key cabinet posts. The move by Robert Mugabe is likely to further jeopardise power-sharing talks that were due to resume as Thabo Mbeki, the former South African president, flew in to the country today to mediate.

Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq's prime minister, has said that British troops are no longer needed to maintain security in the south of the country. "We thank them for the role they have played, but I think that their stay is not necessary for maintaining security and control," he told The Times, a London-based newspaper, in an interview published on Monday.

Emerging powerhouses India, Brazil and South Africa have set their trade target at 15 billion dollars by 2010, up from around 10 billion dollars a year ago, India's foreign minister said today. Pranab Mukherjee also said trade between the three southern hemisphere economies was on the upswing "in all three directions." "We have now established a target of 15 billion dollars in trade between the three countries by 2010," Mukherjee told a conference of editors from India, Brazil and South Africa. "The three countries have taken rapid strides in forging trilateral linkages in a number of key areas including health, agriculture, education, transport, energy, science and technology and IT," he said.

Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille has called for an investigation into claims that the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) is conducting surveillance of ANC members planning a breakaway party. Zille said she had written to President Kgalema Motlanthe to request that he investigate reports in the media which suggested that the NIA was conducting surveillance of ANC members thought to be planning a breakaway party. The Sunday Times this week published a story citing sources within the NIA confirming reports that a surveillance operation had been launched to spy on ANC dissidents.

What if the Angel comes at night,
With a command from Allah to take my soul?
Where will I run, oh, where will I run?
What if the Angel comes to me when I'm driving my car?
Can I lock my doors, so the Angel can't get in?
Where will I hide, oh where will I hide?

I often think when I might sin,
What if the Angel would come to me then?
Would I want to be risen doing that sin?
I often think quietly to myself,
Where will I go, oh where will I go,
When the Angel comes to me?

What if the Angel comes in the middle of tea?
Maybe I can plead for a later return.
How will I plead, oh, how will I plead?
What if the Angel comes to me when I'm watching TV?
Can I beg to the Angel for a little more time?
How will I beg, oh how will I beg?

I often think when I might sin,
What if the Angel would come to me then?
Would I want to be risen doing that sin?
I often think quietly to myself,
Where will I go, oh, where will I go?
When the Angel comes to me?
