Flowing from mountains to the W coast, its main tributaries are the Franklin and Denison from the N, and Serpentine and Olga to the S. Brown wants to alter Britain's "special relationship" with America America [for Amerigo Vespucci], the lands of the Western Hemisphere—North America, Central (or Middle) America, and South America. The world map published in 1507 by Martin Waldseemüller is the first known cartographic use of the name. . Speaking in the US last night, one of his closest Cabinet colleagues called for a new alliance to tackle the world's problems. In a clear signal to president George Bush, International Development Secretary Douglas Alexander said: "In the 21st century, strength should be measured by what we build together. "And so we must form new alliances based on common values - ones not just to protect us from the world but ones which reach out to the world." CAPTION(S): SIGNAL: Bush |
