...Madonna video-directed by her husband Guy Ritchie-is not only relatively tame, but also profoundly significant. Beautifully photographed and set to an edgy dance-remix of the song, it depicts a battered wife who tears around town bashing into people's cars, robbing men at ATMs and shooting policemen with water guns, before deliberately crashing into a pole to kill herself. Not only is MTV running scared, but they are coming across as incredibly unjust. After all, it is a strange double standard when Eminem can rap about decapitating his wife or stabbing someone in the head if they...

...Chechen people," Putin said reassuringly. He may well believe that. Yet as a visit to Grozny makes evident, the Russians are not only failing to win new friends in the city, they are losing old ones - the Chechens who fought alongside the advancing Russians last year, the city policemen who warn locals away from improvised checkpoints and the professionals Chechnya desperately needs if it is ever to re-emerge from the ruins...

...policeman was reported killed and another wounded while in a shopping mall in the capital, Skopje, on Wednesday. And two Albanians were shot this morning by police at a checkpoint in Tetovo. Apparently there's videotape of one of the men, in civilian clothing, throwing a grenade at policemen. That tape may be very important, because unless the government can show that there was a grenade, the incident may spread alarm in the Albanian community. Also, it could put more strain on the main Albanian party in the government, which has vowed to withdraw if civilians are killed...
