Ministers defend Gordon Brown
Senior Labour figures have backed Gordon Brown amid claims that Tony Blair had written off the Prime Minister's chances of winning the next election.

Strike closes oil pipeline, causes petrol panic
Britain on Sunday shut down a North Sea pipeline which supplies 40 percent of its oil and gas and there was panic-buying of petrol after a strike at a major refinery.
