      The US Senate has blocked a proposal by President Barack Obama to make the country's top earners pay more tax.

      The proposal was named after the millionaire Warren Buffett who supported Obama in calling for a law requiring US citizens who earn more than $1,000,000 a year to pay a 30 per cent tax rate on their income.

      Ibrahim, a young Yemeni, takes part in an ambitious conservation programme aimed at protecting one of the rarest of the big cats, the Arabian leopard. Ibrahim's father was a leopard hunter. Now, going from poacher to gamekeeper in one generation, Ibrahim is open to the idea of preserving this magnificent animal, overriding the centuries of hunting tradition that has governed Yemen's rural communities.

      The election commission is expected to decide on Tuesday which appeals will be reviewed, and a final list of candidates will be released on April 26, just under a month before the May 23-24 vote.

        NYR | YemenPost | President Abdu Rabo Mansour Hadi has refused to attend a meeting of the General People Congress headed by the former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, an Emirati newsapepr, Al-Khaleej, quoted sources close to Hadi.

        The source...s said that Saleh held a meeting at his residency last Saturday with members of his party, making reference that Hadi refused to attend the meeting.

        The newspaper said that Saleh had asked Hadi to keep his son, Ahmed Ali, who commands the Republican Guard in his position, in return for accepting the dismissal of his half-bother Mohammad Saleh Al-Ahmar who run the Air Forces until April 6th.

        The sources said that Hadi seriously consider taking bold critical decisions regarding imposing sanctions against Saleh's relatives who refused his decrees as well as designating them as rebels against the constitutional legitimacy.

        Well-informed sources told Yemen Post on Sunday that Hadi actually ordered to refer Al-Ahamar to a military court, pointing out that Hadi believes that Saleh is behind the chaos in the air force and the looting of military equipment.

        Yemeni analysts view that the dismissal of Hadi's decrees by Al-Ahmar and Saleh's nephew, Tariq Mohammad Abdullah, was one example of how Saleh worked behind the scenes to obstruct the country's interim government as it struggles to bring about reforms.

        They said the move of dismissal Saleh's relatives was a good step to fulfill his promises of reforms in the wake of his predecessor's ouster.

        Among those sacked were some of Saleh's relatives was a brother-in-law to Saleh's daughter who had headed a lucrative oil products distribution company, which was seen as an arm of the former president's vast economic wealth.        See More

        Dear Al Jazeera,

        Accept my seconding call to grant your media coverage to the mess going on in Ethiopia. With the virtue of its power the Ethiopian govenmnet is attacking the voiceless Ethiopian Muslims. It has targeted the Sunni muslims a...nd painting them with the name of "Teresists", the power loaded politicians are now forcing the innocent muslims to change thier doctrin, because they think that the sunnis are "Wahabis" and are not goog for the country and hence, should accept a newly being imported thought named Al Ahbash from Lebanon.

        The Muslims are resisting but the government is forcing them with all the means to impose the new thought by importing preachers from Lebanon.
        So, please involve in covering what is going on in Ethiopia. Next Friday, 20-04-2012, there is going to be a never ever exercised demonstration to take place in Ethiopia.

        Regards,        See More

      As much a life philosophy and an art form as an athletic discipline, parkour is the traversing and scaling of obstacles and barriers through running, jumping and vaulting. Parkour is set apart from political and religious factionalism, violence and militancy. For the latest generation of young Palestinians to have grown up in Gaza's Khan Younis camp under-educated and unemployed, it is the ultimate means of escape.
