there is Famine In Southern Somalia Declared by Un

The UN officially declared famine in two southern Somalia regions Wednesday as the world slowly mobilised to save 12 million people battling hunger in the region's worst drought in 60 years. The United States urged Al Qaeda-inspired Shebab rebels controlling the area to allow the return of relief groups they expelled two years ago, , Valerie Amos, urged the world to make the link between climate change and the drought. Somalia is the most dangerous country in the world to work in, according to the U.N.'s World Food Program, which lost 14 relief workers in the past few years. Looting and attacks on aid convoys occur frequently.

WFP head Josette Sheeran said the group is willing to return to southern Somalia if the insurgents guarantee safe passage.

"We are absolutely fully committed to going where the hungry are," she said.
The extended drought is forcing an estimated 3,000 people a day from Somalia to neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia. We speak to Yves van Loo in Nairobi of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Somalia, who was in Mogadishu just two weeks ago. We also speak to investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill, who recently returned from assignment in Somalia.

aid groups warned many would die without urgent action and funding. In some places, the child malnutrition rate has soared to 55% and infant deaths have reached six a day, UNICEF says. Agencies are appealing for aid to boost operations in the war- and drought-stricken nation.Eleven-month-old Abdifatah Hassan, suffering from severe malnutrition, is cared for at a hospital run by Doctors Without Borders at a camp housing Somali refugees in Dadaab, Kenya. Daily arrivals have soared from 200 to nearly 2,000 and officials at Dadaab are struggling to cope. Gezahegn Kebede, regional director of children’s charity Plan, says: “What we are seeing at Dadaab is just the tip of the iceberg. There are millions of people without enough food for themselves or their children.

“They’re spread across six countries in an area larger than Western Europe – many are on the move across some of the most inhospitable and inaccessible lands on the planet. They need help and fast.
The United Nations officially declared famine in two regions of southern Somalia, saying child malnutrition rates exceed 30% and as many as six children age 5 or younger are dying daily. The region is suffering its worst drought in 60 years and tens of thousands are feared dead.
Aid agencies are now talking about an inevitable declaration of a famine in Somalia for the first time since 1992.Then, at the height of a vicious civil war, more than 200,000 people died but many more could be threatened this time round.Habiba The main reason for the severity of this drought - as compared to the droughts of previous years - is the catastrophic and extensive death of livestock. Why is the U.S. doing so little to respond? Politics. In 2008, when most of Somalia's territory was occupied by Ethiopian troops in support of a U.S.-allied Somali government, the U.S. contributed 10 times more humanitarian aid to Somalia than it has this year. But when the Ethiopians pulled out in early 2009, most of southern Somalia was forcibly taken over by militant movements that the U.S. had designated as terrorists.

FIFA Women's World Cup Final ;U.S. Loses to Japan on Penalty Kicks ...‎

Japan's Homare Sawa leads the celebration after scoring the tying goal late in extra time against the U.S. Japan won the penalty kick, 3-1, to capture the title.FIFA Women's World Cup Final ;U.S. Loses to Japan on Penalty Kicks

Japan won the Women's World Cup for the first time on Sunday, stunning the United States in a penalty kick shootout after the team played a pulsating 2-2 tie in Frankfort, Germany.

Japan won its first Women's World Cup title Sunday in a triumph built on hope and renewal, lifting a stricken country and somehow finding a way to win a match that the United States dominated for long stretches but could not control.

"This is obviously going to hurt for a while," said U.S. forward Abby Wambach, whose only hole in her glittering career is the World Cup title.

The United States, the top-ranked team in the world, played its best game of the tournament but struggled to convert its many chances into a tangible advantage. The Americans did not take a lead until Alex Morgan scored on a breakaway in the 69th minute. But a defensive mistake allowed Japan's Aya Miyama to pounce on a loose ball and tie the score with less than 10 minutes left in regulation.

The Americans' top scorer, Abby Wambach, appeared to score the winning goal just before the end of the first extra period, nodding in a cross from Morgan from point-blank range -- her fourth goal in four games. But Japan's captain, Homare Sawa, flicked in a shot off a corner kick in the 117th minute. The goal seemed to symbolize the never-say-die attitute of the Japanese team, which had gained strength from its countrymen -- and vice versa -- in representing a country still recovering from a devastating earthquake earlier this year.

The shootout went badly for the United States from the start. Shannon Boxx's attempt was saved, Carli Lloyd's sailed over the bar, and Tobin Heath had hers saved as well.

Sawa, playing in her fifth World Cup, won the Golden Ball as the tournament's top player and the Golden Boot as its top scorer.

Japan, meanwhile, coolly connected on three of its first four. When the 20-year-old defender Saki Kumagai fired hers over the diving American goalkeeper Hope Solo, she and her nation rejoiced as one.

"We couldn't put away our chances," U.S. Coach Pia Sundhage said. "It's a final -- there's a small difference between winning and losing."

Said Wambach: "Evidently it wasn't meant to be."

Abby Wambach U.S. women to World Cup title

FRANKFURT, Germany -- Abby Wambach's halftime instructions to her teammates were simple and insistent: Just put the ball on the back post. We'll get a goal.

When the 79th minute arrived in a 1-1 tie with France in the Women's World Cup semifinals, Lauren Cheney prepared to serve a corner kick. The French had dominated possession. The United States hung on tenuously. Cheney spotted Wambach, whose eyes were imploring, saucer-like.

"You can tell when Abby's seeing red," Cheney said.

The kick floated to the far post as directed. Wambach charged forward and nodded the ball downward, her head punching like a fist, putting the Americans ahead in an eventual 3-1 victory Wednesday and giving them passage to the World Cup final here today against Japan.

At 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, with impeccable technique, anticipation and fearless determination, Wambach is considered the best header in women's soccer. Forty-nine of her 121 career international goals — 40 percent — have been scored with her head. Given that Japan has only two players as tall as 5-7, today's final might be decided not by anyone's dexterous foot but by the glancing accuracy of Wambach's forehead.

"If you want to stop her, you have to push and pull on her jersey before she starts to run," said Sonia Bompastor , a French defender. "When she moves forward, she's unstoppable."

At 31, Wambach has long been full of brawny assertion. She won the 2004 Athens Olympics for the United States with a header in overtime of the gold medal game against Brazil. Yet she views her career as incomplete.

She broke her leg and missed the 2008 Beijing Olympics as her teammates won another gold medal. The World Cups in 2003 and 2007 ended prematurely for Wambach and the U.S. in the semifinals. This might be her final chance to play in soccer's most important tournament.

"I would give up every goal I've scored to win this World Cup," Wambach said. "You have to be willing to give up everything."

That same bold abandon is required to proficiently head a soccer ball, one of the sport's most potentially dangerous yet valuable skills. Not only is proper technique required -- upper body arched, shoulders squared to the target, chest and neck snapping forward, head striking the ball at the hairline -- but so is courage in the face of a possible collision with a goalkeeper or with the goalpost.

"A lot of it is determination and will -- 'I don't care who is in the way,'" said Jim Gabarra, who coached Wambach in two professional leagues. "Some players have that fear: Is someone going to hit me in the air? Is the goalkeeper going to punch me in the head? Will I land funny?" Wambach traces her bravery and competitiveness to familial necessity, having grown up as the youngest of seven children in Rochester. To her four brothers, Abby was less a sister than a live-in goalie.

When she was 6 or 7, her brothers dressed her in pads and peppered her with slap shots in a neighborhood cul-de-sac. When her father, Peter, who had been a wrestler and a runner, asked how many goals she scored in a soccer game and she said three, he asked, "Why not four?"

"My mom would literally lock us out of the house and say go play," Wambach said. "We wouldn't be able to come in, not even to pee. I feel like I was kind of bred in some ways to do what I do now."
