Christmas Tree Hole
Amazing natural rock formation shaped like a Christmas Tree. Filmed at the Halona Blowhole Lookout. Halona Blowhole is just a 10-15 minute drive from Waikiki and is a spectacular scenic stroll. Located off the Kalanianole Highway and north of Hanauma Bay, the lookout at Halona Blowhole is worth the stop. The lookout offers an excellent view of the coastline and outer islands, such as Molokai and Lanai, on clear days. During the winter months, the lookout is a great spot to watch whales at play.From:DavidBylsmaViews:3 1ratingsTime:00:36More inFilm Animation

China Passes New Law to Patrol South China Sea
On Tuesday, China gave new rights to its maritime patrollers to stop and search incoming vessels in the South China Sea. Disputed territory in the South China Sea is claimed by several nations, but China asserts that it has a sovereign right to patrol these waters. The law gives police in the island province of Hainan the right to "board, seize, and expel foreign ships illegally entering the province #39;s sea areas." The Chinese regime says it #39;s preventing foreign vessels from landing on disputed islands, damaging coastal defense facilities and "carrying out publicity campaigns that may threaten national security." The South China Sea has vast reserves of oil and gas, and contains some of the world #39;s busiest shipping lanes. Conflicts over the resource rich territory have been fierce. The Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, and Taiwan all lay claim to a portion of the South China Sea.

Palestine celebrates UN vote recognition
The United Nations last night recognised a sovereign state of Palestine for the first time, sparking jubilation in the General Assembly and celebrations long into the night in Jerusalem. The UN overwhelmingly ignored dire warnings from the United States and Israel that the decision would wreck peace talks and lead to the severance of badly needed aid funding. An historic resolution that enhanced the Palestinians #39; position at the UN from "permanent observer" to "non-member observer state", a status also held by the Vatican, passed the General Assembly by a resounding 138 votes to 9, with 41 countries abstaining, including Britain. Five nations did not register a vote. The no votes were US, Israel, Canada, Czech Republic, Palau, Panama, Nauru, Mirconesia and Marshall Islands.

Palestine UN vote reaction: US call resolution #39;counterproductive #39;
After the UN formally recognises a sovereign state of Palestine, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticises the decision as leaders from the region react. An historic resolution that enhanced the Palestinians #39; position at the UN from "permanent observer" to "non-member observer state", a status also held by the Vatican, passed the General Assembly by a resounding 138 votes to 9, with 41 countries abstaining, including Britain. Five nations did not register a vote. The no votes were US, Israel, Canada, Czech Republic, Palau, Panama, Nauru, Mirconesia and Marshall Islands. The United States and Israel immediately condemned the vote, which US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called "counterproductive." The Palestinian Authority #39;s Foreign Minister, Riyad al-Maliki, said that his administration #39;s decision whether to report Israel to the International Criminal Court, one of the international agencies to which the new non-member state now has access, lies in their hands. "I hope that they will understand that the formula has changed, the reality has changed and we are not really threatening right now to go immediately to anywhere," said Mr al-Maliki.

New Zealand soldiers are withdrawing from the Solomon Islands after nearly a decade of peacekeeping in the once unsettled and lawless country.

In 2003, after nearly three years of general lawlessness within the country, the local government asked New Zealand, Australian and Pacific Island nations for help and the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) was formed.

On Friday afternoon the 16th - and what will likely be the last - New Zealand RAMSI platoon, which consists of about 40 mainly Christchurch-based soldiers, will return home from the capital, Honiara.

Surrounded by palm trees at the RAMSI base on the outskirts of the city, the New Zealand soldiers performed a rousing haka to crowds during a farewell ceremony on Thursday. Much has changed in the Solomon Islands since RAMSI was established.

Soon after arriving in the country RAMSI personnel, as well as the Royal Solomon Island Police (RSIPF), seized thousands of illegal weapons and a number of militants were detained. Initially law and order was restored, but tensions rose again after the general election in 2006.

People took to the streets in Honiara, smashing shops and setting fire to Chinatown amidst allegations of corruption and claims the election was fixed with money from the Chinese. Christchurch-based Sergeant Major John Spence arrived in Honiara when the city was still burning.

His role, along with other RAMSI soldiers, was to patrol an area of the city to enforce a city-wide curfew.

"Tensions were very high. Lawlessness, insecurity - these are words that come to mind," he said.

Six years on the Solomon Islands is a peaceful and safe place, he says. RAMSI has three core aims - to assist with economic development, offer military assistance and restore Solomon Islanders' confidence in the local police force.

The military component of RAMSI is set to wind down in July next year with platoons from Australia and Papua New Guinea remaining at the Honiara army base until then.

Nearly 10 years of peace-keeping in the Solomon Islands end today, with the last of the Kiwi troops coming home today.

The 16th rotation to serve in the small Pacific country flies into Christchurch this afternoon, after a four month deployment.

Brigadier Mark Wheeler from the New Zealand Army says its absolutely the right time for New Zealand to withdraw.

"The military side's not required. We can now fade out. We're really comfortable that we've done our job in allowing police, particularly the Solomon Islands' police, to take the credit for how stable this place is.

"There are law and order issues here. There may be riots and those things but they're really one off events, they come and go and I would hope we don't have to come back on a permanent basis."

One of the few Kiwi troops being left behind in the Solomon Islands is preparing to say goodbye to his mates.

Eight Kiwi personnel will remain, including Corporal Riwi Thomas.

He says its tough to see his friends head home and hopes he can see his own family soon.

"To my darling wife and my children I miss them very very much. I wish they were here with me to see what I'm seeing, but I think of them everyday and are close to my heart at all times, and my guinea pig and dog."

Corporal Thomas says it's tough being left behind.

The worlds first detection dog for Argentine ants will feature at an event to celebrate the first anniversary of a biosecurity accreditation system for ferries and other commercial vessels visiting pest-free islands in the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.

Tonight (Thursday 29 November), Auckland Council and the Department of Conservation (DOC) will celebrate the first year of their Pest-free Warrant scheme.

The scheme involves DOC and the council working with ferry and tourism operators, and other companies running vessels or carrying out contracts, on pest-free islands in the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park such as Rangitoto, Motutapu and Rakino. Its designed to ensure they dont carry pests such as rats, mice and Argentine ants to the islands.

DOC has removed rats, stoats, possums and other pests from Rangitoto and Motutapu, making them safe havens for endangered wildlife such as kiwi, takahe, tieke (saddleback) and tuatara. Rakino Island, which is managed by Auckland Council, has been pest-free since 2002, and is home to native bird species such as the bellbird and kakariki.

"Pest-free islands such as Motutapu, Rangitoto and Rakino are great for conservation and theyre great for tourism," says DOC Auckland area manager, Jonathan Miles.

"They enable us to grow the populations of threatened wildlife like Coromandel brown kiwi and takahe. And theyre close to downtown Auckland so Aucklanders and tourists can visit these islands and enjoy this unique wildlife."

"The Pest-free Warrant scheme is a key part of the Treasure Islands biosecurity programme run by Auckland Council and DOC that enables us to keep the Hauraki islands free of pests," says Jonathan.

The inspection process looks at how well biosecurity measures are applied by the commercial vessel operators and contractors visiting the pest-free islands.

"Were pleased with their response. Weve had ferry companies such as Fullers, Sealink and 360 qualify for a Pest-free Warrant. Thats as well as operators with smaller vessels and contractors working on the pest-free islands," says Auckland Council biosecurity manager, Jack Craw.

"This is a great system to have in place as it ensures the industry has good practices in place. The accreditation process doubles as an education for their staff, which they pass on to others.

US Navy Secretary meets China Defense Minister
http://www.youtube.com In Beijing, US Navy Secretary Ray Mabus met with Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie. Talking to reporters beforehand, Liang said China #39;s military buildup poses no threat to the world, and also called for closer ties between the two countries #39; militaries. The meeting between the two sides comes amid heightened tension between China and its neighbors Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines over disputed islands in the East and South China Seas. The South China Sea is rich in fish and oil and gas resources, and straddles some of the world #39;s most important shipping lanes. Standoffs in its waters, between Chinese vessels and the Philippine and Vietnamese navies, have become more common as China increases patrols.
