An angry crowd stood waiting for the relief. One lady kept shouting “we need food,” others put there fingers to their mouths at the drop-off site close to the town hall in the Port-au-Prince suburb of Petionville.</p><p>The scam was discovered on Monday as the United Nations said that some hospitals were charging patients for medicines provided for free by the relief effort. The UN agency has set up the distribution points across the city, handing out 25-kilogram (55-pound) sacks of rice intended to feed a family for two weeks. The distribution is expected to restart today.</p><p>To read more on this story go to <a

The first attempt to launch was cancelled on Sunday due to heavy cloud cover above the launch pad in Cape Canaveral, Florida.</p><p>It took the astronauts about eight and a half minutes to reach orbit. Launch director Mike Leinbach told the crew &#8220;We wish you good luck and Godspeed, and see you in about two weeks.&#8221; Once this mission has been completed the International space station will be 90 percent complete.

Although it has been recognized before that  governments have allowed special privileges to some groups, such as trade unions, which have given them some immunity from the law, this current case may seem just one step too far.<span
id="more-5852"></span></p><p>MP’s in the House of Commons are already exempt from charges of defamation, but it could be said that there is a case for this since it allows independent thought when making laws and of course, free speech. However many will feel that the three Labour MP’s concerned, David Chaytor, Jim Devine and Elliot Morley are trying to use their status and taking advantage of their ranks.</p><p>They are claiming that the 1689 Bill of Rights should excuse them from any prosecution of fraud, as they allege that would be hindering the workings of Parliament.  It has been noted that using this law on parliamentary privilege has not been tried before, so it will be if nothing else, intriguing for the lawyers involved.  The majority of the British public though will be furious that they may be able to hide behind this loophole and will believe they should be tried on the same level as anybody else.</p><p>Of course we must remember that at present all three MP’s concerned are innocent until proven guilty.  Nevertheless public confidence in Parliament is at a current all-time low and this story will only add to those feelings.  For more on this story link to the <a
