South Africa has changed the way it measures its GDP to include the "non-observed economy". This includes drugs and prostitution.  Iafrica reports that "Cannabis farming will now form part of the agricultural sector while prostitution falls within the personal services sector ", some analysts have said that the estimates were probably too low! Welcome to South Africa!

More video footage of police beating unarmed civillians at the G20 meeting in London. This follows the death of Ian Tomlinson, who was violently shoved to the ground / hit from behind (?) by police, while walking home after a day of work. Initially the "powers that be" blamed heart failure, however a second examination concluded that he died from internal bleeding. The people who were shoved and beaten (and survived) can be thankful that UK police do not carry guns.
