...developing world such as South Africa and India have more aggressively stressed Iran's right to nuclear energy. So even as Russia reportedly squeezes the Iranians by delaying the delivery of fuel to the Bushehr nuclear reactor - although both sides insist this is simply a dispute over payment - Moscow seeks a diplomatic compromise rather than a gradual escalation of sanctions...

That included cutting off the payment of legal fees for indicted employees. The groveling worked for KPMG, which dodged indictment, but not for the 16 indicted employees, who couldn't afford their lawyers. A New York federal judge ruled that they could sue KPMG for their legal bills (KPMG has appealed the ruling) and slammed the prosecution...
