Two people involved in the provision of relief assistance to the suffering people of Somalia have been killed in separate incidents. A truck driver contracted by the World Food Programme was shot in southern Somalia, and acting head of the UN Development Programme was killed as he left a Mogadishu mosque with his son and brother. UN radio's Derrick Mbatha has more.

That was a report from UN Radio's Derrick Mbatha
Now, a quick look at some other stories from developing countries.

****************
India says it opposes any move to impose quantitative restrictions for greenhouse emissions on developing countries.

At the Major Economies Meeting (MEM) comprising the G8 summit, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh pointed out that developed countries had failed to show progress on the low levels of agreed greenhouse gas reductions and asked the G8 to take the lead on the issue.

Singh asked the industrialized world not to use climate change to introduce conditions or protectionism that will hinder their efforts to meet the already complex development challenges.

***********
Communist Party of Nepal Chairman Prachanda said that there will be a new government within "a week's time."

Prachanda said that the ruling seven-party alliance had made a major breakthrough by reaching a consensus on the Madhesi parties' demands and that this development paved the way for the formation of a new government.

He added that the Nepali Congress should also join the government as political parties shouldn't oppose the Constituent Assembly whose main task is to write a constitution.¡¡¡¡¡¡
