Refugees Stranded at Sea

8,000 Refugees stranded in boats off the coast of Thailand; Bin Laden killing controversy; Fans United

Thousands of refugees from Bangladesh and Myanmar are stranded at sea close to the coast of Thailand. Others have been turned away from Indonesia. It's though at least 8,000 people are at sea.

There's controversy over claims by a veteran US investigative journalist, Seymour Hersh, that the Obama administration's account of the death of Osama Bin Laden is inaccurate. The Al Qaeda leader was killed in Pakistan four years ago - and Mr Hersch claims Pakistan was aware of the operation AND that they'd known his whereabouts since 2006. Others have disputed his claims.

It's ten years since the controversial takeover of the Manchester United by the American businessman Malcolm Glazer. It sparked protests by thousands of fans. A group of them vowed never to return to tje club's ground Old Trafford until the new owners had left. They walked away and set up their own club from scratch. It's called it FC United of Manchester.
