This report from British Channel 4 displays the unimaginable level of destruction wrought by Israel's latest sanguinary binge. Veteran reporter Jonathan Miller has covered earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis and says that the "enormity of destruction" in Gaza "is as bad or worse" than anything that he has ever seen.
'Calm Iraqi Election Marred as Thousands Denied Vote':
Saturday's balloting allows Iraqis to select provincial council members who in turn chose the governor of each Iraqi province. They are the equivalent of a state legislature.
Under Iraqi law, the power of provincial councils remains unclear. They have control over local security forces, public facilities and influence over the appointment of senior ministry officials in their province. But the Baghdad national parliament can remove governors and other provincial officials and the provincial budget will come from the federal government.
In Ameriyah Mohammed Allawi, 25, laughed when asked why he came to vote."We are an occupied country," he said. "I am voting only so that my vote will not be stolen by the corrupt people who are willing to do anything to remain firm on their seats."
His name was not on the roster's list and he left dejected.
