BBC News with Julie Candler.
France has increased security at its embassies and other interests around the world after a French satirical magazine published cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad. A move it fears could further inflame tensions. The French Foreign Minister said he was concerned by the 20 images printed in the weekly Charlie Hebdo, which poked fun at recent violent anti-American protests. One of the cartoonists known only by his pen name, Luz, told the BBC the cartoons had not been designed to provoke violent reaction.
We are not in a provocative mood, it's not the point. We are doing just drawing for years and years on many subjects. We are not obsessed by Muslim violation. Everybody is looking or joins like a provocation, but it is not, it's only drawings, it's only a little sketch of papers, we are not in the crusades .

The great honour that you have conferred to me, will be a lasting momentum of the steadfast support of the United States Congress for the democratic aspirations of my people. From the depth of my heart, I thank you, the people of the America, and you, their representatives, for keeping us in your hearts and minds during the dark years when freedom and justice seemed beyond our reach.
An internal inquiry in the United States has uncovered a series management failures in a sting operation that led gun runner smuggle weapons to Mexico in the hope of a flushing out high-ranking Mexican criminals. Agents in the operations known as Fast and Furious lost track of around 2,000 weapons. Paul Adams reports from the Washington.
The Justice Department internal watchdog says a series of misguided strategies, tactics and errors in judgement all contributed to the failure of Fast and Furious and a similar earlier operation. The report says the employees at the Justice Department, as well as the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, fire arms and explosives, should now face disciplinary action . It doesn't recommend any criminal charges be brought nor does it criticise the Attorney General Eric Holder, who's accepted both the reports findings and resignations of two two senior officials.
