The Islamic Cooperation Organisation has pledged $350m towards the relief effort for famine victims in Somalia. The 57 Muslim nations meeting in Istanbul heard the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticise the wealthy of the world.

"This is a litmus test not only for Somalia but also for the whole of humanity. Here at the conference, every civilisation, every state, rich people, G20 countries, countries with $20,000, $30,000 and $40,000 in personal income, everybody is going through a litmus test for humanity."

Thousands of people have rallied in the centre of the Indian capital Delhi in support of the anti-corruption campaigner Anna Hazare. Huge crowds also gathered outside the jail where he's being held. Sanjoy Majumder witnessed the protests.

A three-year struggle for control of the Anglican Church in Zimbabwe has intensified with the High Court handing(handling口误) control of all church property to the excommunicated former Bishop of Harare, Nolbert Kunonga. One Anglican priest has already been evicted from his home by the former bishop's supporters, who've also used violence to break up church services, occasionally with police support. Our religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott reports.

The power struggle began in 2008 when Bishop Kunonga unilaterally withdrew the Zimbabwean church from its association with other Anglican churches in Central Africa in protest, he claimed, against its toleration of homosexuality. Bishop Kunonga was sacked from his job and excommunicated, but evidently with the backing of the Zimbabwean authorities has retained partial control of the church. Now Zimbabwe's High Court has made Nolbert Kunonga custodian of all church buildings, pending further court action.
