Somalia has a new parliament, the first to be selected inside the country since the overthrow of the last defective government in 1991. Peter Biles reports.
Somalia has made some progress this year but the political transition isn't going entirely according to plan. It had been hoped that 275 MPs would be sworn in at the police training academy in Mogadishu. In the event, the number of parliamentarians fell short, only 211. And for security reasons, the ceremony had to be moved to the safety of Mogadishu airport where there was protection from thousands of African Union peacekeepers. There has also been a deadline stipulating that a new president should be elected by August 20th. That hasn't happened. So the oldest MP, Muse Hansen, a 72-year-old retired general will lead the country until parliament chooses its president.

The hope of the master’s golf tournament, Augusta National in the American state of Georgia, has admitted women members for the first time in its 80-year history. The former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the South Carolina financer Darla Moore have accepted the invitation to join. Augusta has come under increasing criticism for its failure to admit women. Tony Diamond reports from Washington.
This is, said Augusta National chairman Billy Payne, a joyous occasion. The campaigns to have women joined the club kicked off a decade ago. The former chairman responded that one day the club might have women but not, he said, at the point of a bayonet . The club only has around 300 members, all by invitation only. The first black member was admitted in 1990. For many years all the golf caddies were black. Female caddies were however allowed well before women members.
