Dec 1st
1) Continental Rivalry
The SAFF Cup, previously known as the SAARC Championships, is the premier international football tournament for countries in the South Asian region.

Major sea level rise likely as Antarctic ice melts
Dec 1st
Sea levels are likely to rise by about 1.4m (4ft 6in) globally by 2100 as polar ice melts, according to a major review of climate change in Antarctica.
Conducted by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), it says that warming seas are accelerating melting in the west of the continent.Ozone loss has cooled the region, it says, shielding it from global warming.Rising temperatures in the Antarctic Peninsula are making life suitable for invasive species on land and sea.The report – Antarctic Climate Change and the Environment – was written using contributions from 100 leading scientists in various disciplines, and reviewed by a further 200.
SCAR’s executive director Dr Colin Summerhayes said it painted a picture of “the creeping global catastrophe that we face”.”The temperature of the air is increasing, the temperature of the ocean is increasing, sea levels are rising – and the Sun appears to have very little influence on what we see,” he said. SCAR’s report comes 50 years to the day after the Antarctic Treaty, the international agreement regulating use of the territory, was opened for signing, and a week before the opening of the potentially seminal UN climate summit in Copenhagen.
South Africa vows to treat all babies with HIV
Dec 1st
All South African babies under the age of one with be treated if they test HIV positive, President Jacob Zuma has announced in a major policy overhaul.
In a speech to mark World Aids Day, he said he hoped anti-retroviral drugs would save infants’ lives.And he announced he was preparing to take an HIV test himself.The government estimates 5.5 million people live with the disease – the highest rate in the world – and 59,000 babies are born infected each year.The US has announced it will give $120m (£73m) to help fight HIV/Aids. Currently, treatment in South Africa is available only if tests show low levels of immunity.Mr Zuma’s speech is a marked departure from his successor, Thabo Mbeki, whose government denied the link between HIV and Aids.
Mr Mbeki’s critics have accused him of causing 300,000 deaths by not rolling out anti-retroviral drugs to people with Aids.Mr Zuma announced in his speech that it was start of “an era of openness” and urged South Africans to take responsibility for themselves.
“I am making arrangements for my own test,” he told crowds in Pretoria.” I have taken HIV tests before, and I know my status. I will do another test soon as part of this new campaign. I urge you to start planning for your own tests.” He said the measures would come into force in April next year.

In New York City, it wouldn’t be the holidays without the annual department store window displays. Among the most famous are the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue, a holiday tradition since 1949.
