Tonga requests Aussie, NZ troops

Australia and New Zealand are expected to send 150 troops and police to Tonga after the kingdom agreed to seek foreign help to prevent a repeat of deadly pro-democracy riots.
Armed soldiers and police were patrolling Nuku'alofa under expanded emergency powers today, awaiting the arrival of foreign forces to ensure the security of the airport and other critical infrastructure.
Authorities spent the day searching dozens of trashed and torched buildings for more victims after six charred bodies were found inside the shell of the nation's Shoreline power company.
Australia's High Commission has estimated that yesterday's rampage destroyed up to 80 per cent of the CBD.
A spokesman for Prime Minister Fred Sevele tonight said the Government had approved a request for 150 troops and police from Australia and New Zealand.
Ninety Australian troops and 40 federal police would arrive in Tonga soon, spokesman Lopeti Senituli said, along with 20 New Zealand troops "tasked with securing the airport".
The request for help from Australia and New Zealand, considered regional powers in the South Pacific, would "ensure peace and security" and was "an acknowledgment our security apparatus is ... short of manpower," Senituli said.
Both Australia and New Zealand have offered to help Tonga, if they are asked to do so. They were still awaiting a formal request for help from the South Pacific nation tonight.

"Court in France Reinstates Badges of 2 Airport Workers"
The Associated Press
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A court on Wednesday reinstated the security clearance of two workers at Paris' largest airport who were among 72 employees - mostly Muslim - stripped of their badges in a bid to improve safety at Charles de Gaulle."
ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "In Wednesday's decision, the administrative court cleared two more, concluding that nothing in the files shows that "access to the reserved zones constitutes a threat." The court also said the case raised "serious doubts about the legality" of the decision to deny them badges."
