London, Mar. 18: One in seven migrant pupils in the United Kingdom does not speak English, even as the number of immigrant children in primary schools has soared by 25 per cent in five years.

According to The Sun, around 566,000 primary children now have a foreign language as their mother tongue - up by 113,500 since 2004.

And 349,000 secondary school kids - 10 per cent - normally speak a foreign language, taking the total to more than 915,000.

Shadow immigration minister Damian Green uncovered the figures.

Belgrade - When NATO bombed Serbia in 1999, it wanted to end bloodshed in Kosovo. Cracking Slobodan Milosevic's autocratic regime in the process and paving the way for his fall 18 months later was an added bonus.

But though the pro-Western reformist Zoran Djindjic replaced Milosevic in Belgrade, the list of Serbian achievement on the 10th anniversary of the NATO attack remains disappointing.

Brussels - After NATO bombed the then-Yugoslavia for 78 days in 1999 to force Serbian forces to pull out of Kosovo, the commanding US General Wesley Clark was asked how many targets were destroyed.

"Enough," Clark said. Now, 10 years since it launched its aerial campaign against the Serbian military, NATO still gives no figures about the number of targets it destroyed.

There is also no NATO figure on the number of civilian casualties of the bombing, as only the political goal mattered: to stop the ethnic cleansing carried out by Slobodan Milosevic's regime against the majority ethnic Albanian population in Kosovo.
