334: "Hunker Down"
Russian Space Freighter Failure and London Olympic VIP Lanes
A Russian Progress freighter failed to reach the International Space Station, marking a rare loss for the Soyuz carrier rocket system. In London, the government announces special "VIP lanes" for dignitaries during the Olympics that will turn traffic lights green while ordinary motorists face gridlock. Additionally, a report clears the British Army of systematic torture in Iraq but criticizes soldiers for "closing ranks" to cover up specific incidents.
