Slow News Day.....


From the BBC
Misbah Mother Drops Custody Claim

The mother of schoolgirl Misbah Rana has dropped her claim for custody of her daughter, the Supreme Court in Pakistan has heard.
The 12-year-old, also known as Molly Campbell, left Scotland without her mother's consent last August to be with her father, Sajad Rana.
Misbah's mother, Louise Campbell, had interim custody of her daughter.
The court in Islamabad had been expected to make a ruling on whether Misbah should return to the UK.

Can you believe I switched on BBC News 24 this morning to find this piece of un-interesting, completely insignificant information was the 'NEWS' that filled fully the first ten minutes of the BBC news broadcast?

With all the conflict, suffering and problems that goes on in the world today, and every day, that was the best the world's premiere news service could come up with. If it carries on like this I'll be forced to tune in to CNN, where 'World News' traditionally means anything to do with the USA.

It is a real shame that this charming young girl has been turned into a media circus by her father.
Nobody really wins in this case.
