Katrina's aftermath
Over a week after Hurricane Katrina devastated America's Gulf coast,
engineers started to plug the gaps in
New Orleans's
flood defences
and began pumping water out of the devastated city. Any remaining
residents were ordered to leave by the mayor as fears grew about the
toxicity of the stagnant floodwaters. Meanwhile, politicians and
officials at the federal, state and local level came under criticism for
the slow response to the disaster; George Bush asked Congress for
$52 billion in extra relief. The death toll in Louisiana and Mississippi
was surmised to be many thousands.

William Rehnquist, the chief justice of the
Supreme Court
since 1986, died after a long battle
against thyroid cancer. Mr Bush proposed that John Roberts, whom he previously nominated to fill
the vacancy created by Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement, be elevated to the top slot. Mr
Roberts's Senate confirmation hearings, which were due to start this week, were delayed until
September 12th.

California's legislature became the first in America to pass a bill legalising
gay marriage
. The
measure, which had been defeated in June, now goes to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who
has said he will veto it.
Paul Volcker, a former head of the Federal Reserve, issued the findings of an investigation into the
UN's
oil-for-food programme
in Iraq, finding it to have been riddled with graft and
incompetence. Kofi Annan, the UN secretary-general, admitted that the report had shone “a harsh
light” at “unsightly corners” but did not offer to resign.

Vintage Vicente
In his final state-of-the-union address to Congress before next year's elections,
Mexico's
president, Vicente Fox, said he had broken the country's cycle of economic collapses and urged
congressmen to back his long list of promised but undelivered reforms.

Widespread protests over rising energy prices swept
Jamaica
as Caribbean leaders gathered
there to sign a cut-price oil deal with Venezuela's president, Hugo Chávez.
One of the
Caribbean's
most prominent politicians, Eugenia Charles—Dominica's formidable
former prime minister, best remembered for backing America's controversial 1983 invasion of
Grenada—died at the age of 86.
Eight candidates have registered to run for the unenviable job of president of
Bolivia
, where
violent protests have driven out two presidents since 2003. So far the front-runners for
December's vote are Jorge Quiroga, a conservative ex-president, and Evo Morales, a coca-
growers' leader.

L'état, c'est moi
The 72-year-old French president,
Jacques Chirac
, was treated in hospital for what was
described as an “eye problem”. His illness sparked renewed competition between the prime
minister, Dominique de Villepin, and the interior minister (and young pretender), Nicolas Sarkozy,
to be seen as heir apparent.

After the resignation of key officials amid a corruption scandal,
Ukraine's
president, Viktor

regional governor, to become prime minster.
