A Florida highway patrol says Tiger Woods was injured as he pulled out of his driveway in the earlier hours of the morning. The authorities said he kinda like hit a fire hydrant and a tree as he left his home in Windermere, an exclusive suburb of Orlando. Earlier reports suggested that he might have been seriously injured, but a local hospital now says he was treated for minor injuries and released.

The United Nations nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, has voted to censure Iran for developing a uranium enrichment site in secret. Usually, both Russia and China backed the resolution. The UN said the international community was running out of patience with Iran. Jon Lyan reports. 4
This is a strong sign of Iran's growing international isolation. It was the first resolution against Iran passed by the IAEA since 2006. Most significantly, China and Russia both voted in favor. This heavily critical resolution focused on recently revealed nuclear plant, C. G., which the West believes could be part of a secret bomb program. But Iran's refusal to answer questions on the alleged bomb studies also infuriated the IAEA, as has Iran hesitation of whether to accept a deal on new fuel for a research reactor in Tehran.
Britain's ambassador to the United Nations during the run-up to the Iraqi War has questioned the legitimacy of the America-led invasion in 2003. Speaking on the fourth day of a public inquiry in London, Jeremy Greenstock, said he thought there were not many countries that thought Iraq was telling the truth about weapons of mass destruction. But he said that did not translate into much support for tough actions against Saddam Hussein, which in the end cast out, according to Sir Jeremy, on the military action taken.
"I regarded our invasion of Iraq as legal, but of course, no full legitimacy in that it didn't have the democratically observable backing of great majority of member states, or even perhaps of majority people inside the United Kingdom."
Sir Jeremy also said the UN weapons inspectors should have been given more time to carry out their work, but by then, American pressure to invade proved irresistible.
The British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has proposed richer nations set up a 10-billion-dollar fund to provide incentives for developing countries to cut greenhouse gas emissions. He was speaking in Trinidad where leaders from the Commonwealth Group of Nations are meeting. At the opening ceremony, the head of the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth, said the organization had the opportunity to meet once more.
World news from the BBC.
Germany's Labor Minister, Franz Josef Jung, has resigned over his handling of an airstrike in Afghanistan in September which is believed to have killed around 30 civilians. Mr. Jung was defense minister at the time, and for days insisted no civilians had been killed. Pressure increased on Mr. Jung after Germany's top general and a senior defense ministry official quit on Thursday. The German army was heavily criticized for calling in an US airstrike on the Taliban when many civilians were nearby.
The Polish President, Lech Kaczynsky, has signed into law to the compulsory chemical castration of some sex offenders. The practice has been tried in other countries, but usually on a voluntary basis. From Warsaw, Adam M. reports.
According to its politicians, Poland now has the severest legislation towards pedophiles in Europe. Under the law, adults convicted of raping a child under the age of 15, or committing incest, will be forced upon release to take drugs to reduce their libido, a practice commonly referred to as chemical castration. The Polish law was drafted following a high-profile case last year in which a 45-year-old man repeatedly raped his daughter, and farthered two children by her.
Police in Bangladesh say researches are underway for dozens of people after a river ferry sank. Details of casualties are sketchy, but reporters say 2 people are known to have died and about 50 are missing. The boat was carrying hundreds of people to the southern Island of \\ to celebrate the Eat Festival.
Two men have been executed in China after being convicted of stealing and trafficking young children, most of them boys. Every year, thousands of children are snatched off the streets, or from bus and train stations, and the authorities have been trying to clamp down on the illegal trade. The BBC Beijing correspondent says some parents try to buy boys because China's one-child policy means they can't have sons of their own.
