DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran said on Monday it had launched a live monkey into space, seeking to show off missile systems that have alarmed the West because the technology could potentially be used to deliver a nuclear warhead.

The Defense Ministry announced the launch as world powers sought to agree a date and venue with Iran for resuming talks to resolve a standoff with the West over Tehran's contested nuclear program before it degenerates into a new Middle East war.

Efforts to nail down a new meeting have failed repeatedly and the powers fear Iran is exploiting the diplomatic vacuum to hone the means to produce nuclear weapons.

The Islamic Republic denies seeking weapons capability and says it seeks only electricity from its uranium enrichment so it can export more of its considerable oil wealth.

The powers have proposed new talks in February, a spokesman for the European Union's foreign policy chief said on Monday, hours after Russia urged all concerned to "stop behaving like children" and commit to a meeting.

Iran earlier in the day denied media reports of a major explosion at one of its most sensitive, underground enrichment plants, describing them as Western propaganda designed to influence the nuclear talks.

The Defence Ministry said the space launch of the monkey coincided "with the days of" the Prophet Mohammad's birthday, which was last week, but gave no date, according to a statement carried by the official news agency IRNA.

The launch was "another giant step" in space technology and biological research "which is the monopoly of a few countries", the statement said.

The small grey monkey was pictured strapped into a padded seat and being loaded into the Kavoshgar rocket dubbed "Pishgam" (Pioneer) which state media said reached a height of more than 120 km (75 miles).

"This shipment returned safely to Earth with the anticipated speed along with the live organism," Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi told the semi-official Fars news agency. "The launch of Kavoshgar and its retrieval is the first step towards sending humans into space in the next phase."

There was no independent confirmation of the launch.

I dont know which is more in number than the other. But it seem to me that they church business is becoming more lucrative than the studio thing. Lets get your views. Be respectful

The residents of makurdi metropolice have been rocked by a severe water scarcity. A bag of sachet water(purewater as known by many) is sold at the range of 90 to 120naira from producers,and 120 to 160 from retailers. A sachet cost now cost 10naira or worse. Even local water halkers(mai Rua) now refuse to sell unless its the entire barow content,which cost 300naira or more. People are seen carrying water cans from and to the river benue and other places were the can get water for thier domestic use. The cause of this great hardship has yet not been confirmed as geting to the authorities suposed have been imposible. But people have a milion diferent reason behind the matter.

Pdp even won beter i d Acn stronghold. Knw y? Cos dey were more riging! Gil!

After buyin votes 4 as low as 100naira. N empowring women n children 2 vote as mani timez as dey fell. POWER 2 D PEOPLE! Wat else do u xpect?

All though not suprising a news for any benue dweller or atleast not someone who took part in the voting. The state's independence electoral comision anoused the result of the poll, which shows dat the people's democratic party (PDP) has succesfuly cleard all local goverment area with clearly over whelming votes. GOD SAVE US!

Enugu people have oviously turned the place into something else. I was in Enugu for over a month and they was no day that passed that somebody dn't tell me of Shoprite(as they call they entire mall) it ws indeed more shocking to find out how the place was filledup during the week ends,wit people from other parts of the contry espesialy the south east and south south parts. I wonder if some Youth copers were posted to they place specificly,since they are always seen taking pics in and around the mall. Let the coments flow enugu people!

It's quite and dry in makurdi the state capital as the stage is been set for the LGA and councelor election. As of 8am in the morning police me and other secuirity personels are seen covering grounds to insure a fair enviroment. Despite the very estremely low turnout, each party agent are seen seated in every polling unit. Acreditation already started at 9am, but at 10:30am i was the 15th person to get acredicated showing how low the turnout is. Many people who had been talk to say they don't feel like voting cause the know the Governor already has his list . Time shall tell.

[quote author=politician]CAIRO –  Egypt's president on Thursday issued constitutional amendments that placed him above judicial oversight and ordered the retrial of Hosni Mubarak for the killing of protesters in last year's uprising.

Mohammed Morsi also decreed immunity for the Islamist-dominated panel drafting a new constitution from any possible court decisions to dissolve it, a threat that had been hanging over the controversial assembly.

Liberal and Christian members withdrew from the assembly during the past week to protest what they say is the hijacking of the process by Morsi's allies, who they saw are trying to push through a document that will have an Islamist slant marginalizing women and minority Christians and infringing on personal liberties. Several courts have been looking into cases demanding the dissolution of the panel.

The Egyptian leader also decreed that all decisions he has made since taking office in June and until a new constitution is adopted and a new parliament is elected -- which is not expected before next spring -- are not subject to appeal in court or by any other authority. He also barred any court from dissolving the Islamist-led upper house of parliament, a largely toothless body that has also faced court cases.

The moves effectively remove any oversight on Morsi, the longtime Muslim Brotherhood figure who became Egypt's first freely elected president last summer after the Feb. 11, 2011 fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak. They come as Morsi is riding high on lavish praise from President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton for mediating an end to eight days of fighting between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers.

Morsi not only holds executive power, he also has legislative authority after a previous court ruling just before he took office on June 30 dissolved the powerful lower house of parliament, which was led by the Brotherhood. With two branches of power in his hands, Morsi has had repeated frictions with the third, the judiciary, over recent months.

"Morsi today usurped all state powers & appointed himself Egypt's new pharaoh," pro-reform leader Mohamed ElBaradei wrote on his Twitter account. "A major blow to the revolution that could have dire consequences."

The president made most of the changes Thursday by issuing a declaration amending what has become a patchwork interim constitution in effect since Mubarak's fall. The military, which took power after Mubarak, set the precedent for the executive unilaterally issuing constitutional changes, which it did several times during its 16-month rule.

Plateau is north but the christians are in control of it. By the way, pls is alcohol not forbidden in christianity?
