The agreement between Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah came at the end of two days of frantic negotiations brokered by US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Merkel laments breakdown of trust in US spy row Posted: 12 Jul 2014 01:04 PM PDT Chancellor Angela Merkel lamented on Saturday the breakdown in trust between Germany and the United States amid a spying row that saw the CIA chief in Berlin expelled from the country. "Here we obviously have different points of view and we need to talk to one another," Merkel said, adding that she had "naturally hoped for a change" in Washington's behaviour. The shock move to kick out the US intelligence chief on Thursday followed the emergence of two alleged spying cases within days of each other, re-igniting German fury already on a low boil from another spying scandal last year in which it was revealed that Washington was monitoring Merkel's phone. A week earlier, a 31-year-old German BND foreign intelligence service operative had been arrested on suspicion of having sold over 200 documents to the CIA.

All votes in disputed Afghan run-off poll to be audited: Kerry Posted: 12 Jul 2014 11:46 AM PDT Afghanistan's feuding presidential rivals agreed Saturday to a full audit of every vote cast in the disputed runoff election, US Secretary of State John Kerry said following two days of frantic negotiations. The deadlock over last month's run-off vote to succeed outgoing President Hamid Karzai plunged Afghanistan into crisis and dented US hopes of a smooth transfer of power as Washington seeks to withdraw all its troops by late 2016. Preliminary results of the second-round vote put Ashraf Ghani in the lead, but Abdullah Abdullah -- who has already once lost a presidential bid -- declared himself the true winner, saying massive fraud robbed him of victory. The stand-off sparked concern that protests could spiral into ethnic violence and even lead to a return of the fighting between warlords that ravaged Afghanistan during the 1992-1996 civil war.
