The two Democratic rivals in the race to become America's next president have paid tribute to each other a day after a marathon primary campaign ended with Barack Obama declaring victory over Hillary Clinton. Senator Clinton has still not conceded in public that she has lost the contest in a speech to a pro-Israel lobby group in Washington. Senator Obama called his rival an extraordinary candidate. Senator Clinton told the same what it is they could trust Mr. Obama.

"I know Senator Obama understands what is at stake here. It has been an honor to contest these primaries with him. It is an honor to call him my friend and let me be very clear, I know that Senator Obama will be a good friend to Israel."

Barack Obama also said Jerusalem should remain the undivided capital of Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said he was moved by Mr. Obama's speech at the American-Israel public affairs council. But the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said the Palestinians would never accept a state without Jerusalem as its capital. The Islamist Hamas Movement, which controls Gaza, said the speech confirmed American hostility to Arabs and Muslims.

The leader of Zimbabwe's opposition Morgan Tsvangirai has been freed without charge from police detention after being held for eight hours. He'd been campaigning for the presidential run-off election to be held at the end of this month. Mr. Tsvangirai said his detention was unnecessary and harassment. Caroline Hawley reports.

Morgan Tsvanirai was detained at a checkpoint on his way from campaigning in the town of Lupane in the west of the country. His spokesman said he was held for four hours at the site of the road and another four hours at a police station. Police had accused him of violating the country's public order act for addressing supporters, in what they called, an illegal gathering. In the end though, he was freed without charge. But his detention is part of an increasing campaign of political intimidation as the presidential run-off approaches.

Senior military officers from Uganda, southern Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo have agreed on a plan to launch a military operation against the Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army. The Congolese army is to find what has been termed a military solution to the rebellion after the failure of two years of peace talks. From the Ugandan capital Kampala, Sarah Grainger reports.

Throughout the peace talks, Joseph Kony remained in eastern Congo, while he and his top commanders were the subjects of arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court. He is accused of numerous war crimes, including mutilating and abducting civilians, and forcing thousands of children into combat. During the peace talks, the threat of attack by the LRA rebels receded from northern Uganda. But there have been reports of the rebels attacking and abducting civilians in both eastern Congo and the Central African Republic, suggesting that the problem has been displaced, not removed.
