...crowd together, asks them to take off their shoes and arranges them in two lines, women behind men, facing east. "Allahu akbar," he says twice.

Three other small, fresh graves nearby indicate Ayano Gemeda, 6, was not the first child to starve in Kersa this year.

It's solid history, and beautiful too - with spares cores, the NEEM scientists have built an ice palace next to their drill...

Palm Springs, California's fabled desert oasis, has long been a winter playground for the Hollywood set; the city lies just 100 miles (160 km) east of Los Angeles.
