There are, however, problems caused by the different ways Russian and Nato units are organised.Ms Albright arrived in London last night. But the toughest part of the European leg of her trip comes tomorrow, when she flies to Moscow.Albright's script, page 10Letters, page 13Portrait, page 14. Satellite photographs of farm fields were used to uncover fraudulent claims by a farmer who falsely demanded money for growing oilseed rape under the European common agriculture policy, the National Audit Office told MPs in a report. The satellite images showed that the field contained peas instead of oilseed rape, which earn less from the CAP, and after a site check, the farmer's claims were reduced from pounds 43,700 to pounds 27,300 - a saving of pounds 16,400.

In another case, a farmer applied for oilseed subsidy on 78 hectares of land but he had also claimed for a different crop on seven hectares of the same land. The ministry decided not to prosecute because the fine would be minimal, but recovered the grant of pounds 15,733. There were 7,220 cases where farmers' claims were reduced or rejected after spot checks. These include the case of two brothers who filed a joint claim for sheep annual premium for 100 animals but inspection showed they owned only 18 sheep. They were prosecuted and fined pounds 3,000.The checks on the beef special premium scheme cost more than pounds 1m but uncovered irregularities valued at pounds 463,500 Colin Brown. Britain is set to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by up to 8 per cent between 1990 and 2000, thereby keeping its promises made at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, John Gummer, the Secretary of State for the Environment, reported yesterday. Industrialised nations committed themselves at Rio to stabilising annual emissions of carbon dioxide - the most important climate-changing pollutant - at the 1990 level by 2000 The gas is produced mainly by burning fossil fuels. Britain is one of very few developed countries which will actually cut emissions.

Others, including the United States, Canada and Australia, look set to break their promise and increase their output of carbon dioxide over the decade. Britain's success is mainly due to the drastic slump in the use of coal to generate electricity and its replacement by gas which produces much less carbon dioxide. Mr Gummer is urging industrialised countries to commit themselves to cut emissions by between 5 and 10 per cent between 2000 and 2010. Last year, United Kingdom carbon dioxide emissions actually rose slightly, according to the latest statistics, because gas consumption rocketed by 17 per cent and oil by 2 per cent. So, while Britain does seem set to keep its international promise come 2000, the trend then is likely to be upwards.Climate Change, UK Programme, Cm3558, HMSO Nicholas Schoon. Most women believe they are ignored by the main political parties, according to a poll published yesterday. Almost seven out of 10 women feel the main parties do not pay sufficient attention to things that are important to them, even though they make up more than half the electorate and a significant proportion of the large floating vote. The Equal Opportunities Commission wants parties to start taking notice of women's views and has drawn up a "National Agenda for Action" in an effort to influence their manifestos for the general election. The NOP poll found that women in part-time employment and those who were widowed, divorced or separated were most unhappy.

In the core voting group of 25- to 54-year-olds, 75 per cent said they did not feel women's issues were given enough attention.. For the first time ever the Ministry of Defence has set out what it means by war, armed conflict and security, and what the armed forces are actually for. The Secretary of State for Defence, Michael Portillo, yesterday launched Britain's new, unified "Defence Doctrine". The timing of the launch was clearly designed to pre-empt Labour's call for a "strategic defence review" if it wins the general election. Air Chief Marshal Sir John Willis, the Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff, who oversaw the creation of the historic book, described it as "overarching, governing the principles by which our business is conducted and how it is conducted". He said that during the Cold War, when the purpose of the armed forces was pretty clear, there had been little need for such a document, but this had changed, now that the world was a much more disorganised place.British Defence Doctrine, MoD, pounds 9.50.
