UK to cut aid to Russia and China

Britain will stop giving aid money to China and Russia, as "it is not justifiable" any longer, the UK government has said.
International Developement Secretary Andrew Mitchell announced a review into how the UK funds overseas development work in around 90 countries.
"The money will be redirected towards those countries where they can make the most difference," he said.
In 2008-09, China received more than £40m, while Russia got £190,000.
Britain's annual bilateral aid budget stands now at £2.9bn.
Mr Mitchell said that, apart from Russia and China, "other country programmes which are less effective will be closed or reduced".
