Shelling by North Korea was 'inhumane crime' - Seoul

        South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said he felt deep responsibility for failing to protect residents of Yeonpyeong, where two South Korean marines and two civilians were killed. Pyongyang says it was provoked by Seoul's military drill near the island. Tension remains high in the area, where the US and South Korea are currently holding joint military exercises.

Some analysts say North Korea is trying to raise tensions in order to strengthen its negotiating position and force a resumption of the talks. It comes as the North is undergoing an apparent transition of power from Kim Jong-il to his youngest son Kim Jung-un.

Polar Bears will be Protected in Alaska

Grammar, Vocabulary & Pronunciation

      The US government says land that oil and gas companies want to drill in Alaska is a crucial home for polar bears. Environmentalists hope this announcement will help save the endangered animals. Now the US government has designated nearly half a million square kilometres in Alaska as critical habitats for the polar bear. It covers an area of roughly twice the size of the United Kingdom, and it means any proposed economic activity there, must be weighed against its impact on the bears' habitat. It includes some of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, exactly where the oil company, Shell, wants to drill.
