Security Council to order the ICC to suspend its Darfur investigations on the grounds that they pose a threat to international peace and security. African Union leaders also say that by prosecuting Bashir, the ICC will complicate matters for U.N. peacekeepers in Darfur, most of whom are from neighboring countries on the continent.

...sell-off will end eventually, one way or another. Governments could follow the nerve-racked Russians and suspend trading altogether, in a bid, as Touati says, to stop "markets from sawing off the branch they're sitting on." The more likely solution, Touati predicts, will soon come as "smart and steely investors realize selling now is a sure way to lose, while buying now will determine who the big winners tomorrow will...
