From Radioactive Waste possibly leaking into a major American waterway to a Gay Sex scandal in the Vatican, it's time to spin the globe and find out what's going on before enjoying a lovely Sunday.

America’s worst nuclear site is even worse.  Washington State Governor Jay Inslee says he’s been told by the Energy Department that six underground storage tanks filled with liquid nuclear waste are leaking into the underground water table.  Oh yeah, and the tanks are in the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, which lies on the Columbia River, the biggest in America’s Pacific Northwest ecosystem.  Salmon, drinking water, agricultural irrigation.. yikes.

The United Nations says it will not pay claims stemming from Haiti’s cholera outbreak that killed 8,000 people.  The disease is believed to have started from a sewage leak from the UN base in Haiti.  And the strain exactly matches one in Nepal, a country that provided UN troops to Haiti’s post earthquake relief.  A spokesman for Ban Ki Moon says the 1947 UN Convention gives it immunity for its actions.  More than half a million Haitians were infected.

Syria’s main opposition group is pulling out of a series of International Peace Talks.  The Syrian National Coalition specifically blames Russia for selling arms to Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

The Vatican is stepping up criticism of published reports that speculate Pope Benedict XVI is resigning because of a hidden Gay Sex & Blackmail scandal among Vatican clergy.  Father Federico Lombardi calls the reports (which also mention financial impropriety) “misinformation”, “gossip”, and “slander”.

Britain’s most senior Catholic leader says the next Pope ought to allow priests to marry.  Cardinal Keith O’Brien says the centuries-old marriage ban has no “divine origin” and can be changed by any Pope at any time.  O'Brien is quick to point out he has no marriage plans.

UK’s Labour party is quick to blast the ruling Tories for losing Britain’s AAA credit rating.  Moody’s downgraded the UK’s top rate to Aa1 as “austerity” fails to improve anything in the economy.  Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls says it’s a "humiliating blow", and urges the government to “urgently take action to kick-start our flat-lining economy and realise that we need growth to get the deficit down."

A German politician says instead of disposing of food products tainted with horsemeat, it should be given to the poor.  Development Minister Dirk Niebel thinks it's a shame to waste all that food.

The head of Indonesia's ruling Democatic Party is stepping down.  This comes after that country’s anti-corruption watchdog accused Anas Urbaningrum of receiving illegal payments.
