The appearance of a powerful military bloc on the Russian borders will be seen as a direct threat to Russia’s security, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters today following a NATO-Russia Council meeting. He said Moscow could not be satisfied with statements that the deployment of a missile defense shield near Russia’s border was not aimed against Russia.

Putin said there were serious tensions in Russia’s relations with NATO, including over the alliance’s continuing eastward expansion, the creation of military infrastructure on the territory of NATO's new member states, problems with the Treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE), the issue of Kosovo and Washington’s plans to deploy its missile defense shield in Eastern Europe.

A few sleepless hours later, he got a phone call confirming the worst. He braced himself to deliver the news to his children.

"I said, 'I've got some dreadful news'," Spencer recounts. " 'I'm afraid Aunt Diana's been killed.' They looked at me, absolutely incredulous, and then Eliza, who's the elder of my twins, said, 'But not in real life, Daddy?' "

The reaction of Eliza Spencer, then 5, was the same as many upon hearing reports that the Princess of Wales was dead. It didn't quite feel like real life.

Putin vows aero industry revivalPresident Vladimir Putin said Russia will challenge Europe and the United States in aerospace as the country rebuilds an industry that once rolled out a quarter of the world's commercial aircraft fleet.

Russia "has new economic possibilities" to gain a greater share of the global market for civilian passenger and transport airplanes and "keep its leadership in producing combat aircraft," Putin said at the opening of the Moscow Air Show. More than 780 domestic and foreign producers from 110 countries are participating in the biennial event, Putin said yesterday at the once-secret Zhukov airfield near the Russian capital.

Russia, the biggest arms supplier to developing countries, plans to manufacture and sell 4,500 civilian and military planes worth US$250 billion (HK$1.95 trillion) over the next 18 years, Alexey Fyodorov, chief executive of Unified Aircraft Corp, said last week. By 2025, annual output will reach 300 airliners, 100 transport planes and more than 100 combat aircraft.

John Lichfield: The president with popularity to burn Nicolas Sarkozy said that he would make the French work harder, starting with his own government. True to his words, he has lopped 10 days off the traditionally somnolent month of August and begun the political "rentrée" almost two weeks early.

While half of France still lay on the beaches of the Med, and the rest of the country dodged showers in Brittany or the south-west, Sarkozy was back behind his desk at the Elysée Palace yesterday. The "Omnipresident", aka the "Tsarkozy", called three ministerial meetings on his first day in the office. Two of them were emergency meetings. One was merely urgent,

French Foreign Minister wants to see Iraq for himselfBAGHDAD - As French President Nicolas Sarkozy was returning home from a two-week holiday in the United States, his Foreign Minister was arriving in Baghdad.

If Sarkozy's American vacation, with its boat ride with US President George W. Bush, was an indication of a new direction for French-American relations, Bernard Kouchner's trip to Iraq signalled a new French approach to US foreign policy.

Kouchner is the first top French official to visit Iraq since the beginning of the US-led war in 2003, which France vigorously opposed, causing a bitter division between the countries.
