That's a tragedy for those populations, but it's also a tragedy for the people eating them because they don't know that that's toxic meat.

China finds this outcome regrettable.

All three reasons are highly regrettable.

The bottom line is unfortunate, but it must be acknowledged.

Heart breaking news came out of Bangui, Central African Republic today.

From BoB winners, to storytellers, documentaries on artists, Nigeria s Nollywood movie industry and more.

To be sure, there could be glitches.

If that does not happen, next year s European elections may give rise to an unfortunate paradox.

But decisions like this, which sometimes seem to start well, invariably end badly.

What a pathetic ending for a man who could have become one of the most important leaders in modern Chinese history.

For the past six years, a global effort (called DOTS Plus) to treat people with MDR TB under strict conditions has been underway, reaching thousands with previously untreatable TB.

A new danger had emerged on the international scene as a result of the deplorable events of 11 September 2001.

Indeed, there have been several regrettable occasions during the past year when the spectre of the veto had the effect of dampening debate or delaying important decisions.

An estimated 2 million children practiced prostitution or were used in pornography, while 180 million children were compelled to work in deplorable conditions.

Of course, individual developing countries may be spared. But it is an unfortunate mathematical fact that not everyone can gain market share.

We have seen unfortunate examples of that repeatedly in the West in recent years, and there are no guarantees that China s newly installed leaders will avoid comparable pitfalls.

This proposal split the members of the patients' society, many of whom were extremely wary of entrusting their fate to a third party, as they had done in 1959 with unfortunate results.

On the other hand, the world has also witnessed the unfortunate saga created by disruptive and divisive forces in the form of war, civil strife, ethnic and religious intolerance, hatred, violence and, lately, the threatening menace of terrorism.

Of course, consumers are not the only ones whose inadequate consideration of the facts is resulting in regrettable substitutions. Governments, too, are making hasty, wrong headed decisions that deny consumers a choice.

It also brought to a sorry close the UK s six month presidency of the European Council, confirming Britain s long standing reputation as the odd man out in the European Union.

Every day brings news of more deaths and massive inflows of starving people into refugee camps in Kenya, across the border from Somalia.

Electoral systems are precarious enough to generate pathetic situations such as that which prevailed in Mexico throughout the autumn, with its two Presidents.

It would indeed be fortunate for Mexico if a new era of PRI presidencies were a sign of healthy rotation in power rather than a regrettable step backwards.

One unfortunate side effect of this has been that there is now often significant duplication of mandates and actions between different bodies within the system.

As European countries take these measures, their economies are likely to weaken with unhappy consequences for the global recovery.

Why does the world meekly go along with the status quo and let the US dictate the Bank s top position? It is a sorry tale of poor global governance.

It was currently working on a strategy for promoting security for women, for which purpose it was conducting a study on the murder of women regrettable offences that had been occurring in the country with a view to devising prevention strategies.

I think that the World Trade Center in, rather an unfortunate way, brought architecture into focus in a way that I don't think people had thought of in a long time, and made it a subject for common conversation.

The immediate ethical issue facing us is the real harm inflicted on unsuspecting subjects through a vast array of indignities, adverse events, injuries, and death.

It remains a significant challenge to clearly determine an accurate breakdown of those deaths that occur by misadventure and those that arise from intentional misuse ie the IED problem, although the latter is more easily identified.

This American resistance is unfortunate. It would be far better if the US found ways simply to organize outright grants in exceptional cases like Ukraine, rather than design the international financial system around them.

The latest increases in oil prices and the related increases in other commodity prices, especially food imply several unfortunate consequences (even leaving aside the risk of severe civil unrest).

Describing as a logical fallacy the recommendation at the beginning of paragraph 75 to impose a moratorium on executions, she said that that was like recommending the abolition of prisons because prison conditions were deplorable in some countries.

All three reasons are highly regrettable. They underscore the West s seeming inability to break out of a short term mindset in order to respond to the risks and opportunities related to historic national and global re alignments.

Indeed, in recent years an unfortunate trend has emerged in African politics losing candidates, unhappy with their election results, unleash violence until the only option for mediators is to grant them a continued role in government.

But real income gains of 1.3 per year for the middle quintiles and 1.1 for the bottom are not exactly chopped liver, are they? The gap with 1.6 average annual growth rate for per capita GDP is small, isn t it?

But, in the end, it takes more than strong policy and analytical skills to deal with tough economic challenges. We have seen unfortunate examples of that repeatedly in the West in recent years, and there are no guarantees that China s newly installed leaders will avoid comparable pitfalls.

China appeals to and urges all Member States to proceed from the consideration of maintaining the unity and long term interests of the United Nations and to make every effort to avoid an unfortunate situation in which a showdown on Security Council enlargement is forced upon Member States while conditions are net yet ripe.
