WHAT'S INTERESTING IN THE WORLD NEWS TODAY




World's untidiest car banned
Police in Germany banned a woman driver's car from the road - for being too untidy.

The Vauxhall Astra was so full of junk, magazines, old clothes and even bits of furniture that they could barely see the driver at it roared down a motorway near Dusseldorf.

The driver - who has not been named by police - has been banned from taking the car on the road again until it has passed a tidiness test.

Police said the car was so full of junk the woman's face was pressed up against the windscreen as she drove.

"I'm sure this will make most people feel a lot better about leaving the odd sweet wrapper lying around in their car," joked one police source.

A Turkish shoe firm says it's had to take on 100 extra staff to cope with demand after an Iraqi threw shoes at President Bush.

Istanbul-based Baydan Shoes claims it made the shoes which were thrown at the president, reports the BBC.

It now has tens of thousands of orders from around the world - including the US and Iraq - for the shoe which was called Model 271 but has now been renamed the Bye Bye Bush shoe.

Oner Bogatekin, Baydan Shoes' export representative, said the staff recognised their handiwork from the news reports.

"We saw it on videos and also in newspapers. We have been producing this shoe for 10 years, so know it very well and we can recognise them anywhere," he told the BBC.

Mass Santa record broken
A new world record has been set in Romania after nearly 4,000 Father Christmases took to the streets handing out presents.

A total of 3.939 people dressed as Santa Claus took part in the record-breaking parade in Bucharest.

Guinness World Records officials confirmed it had beaten the previous record held by Taipei since 2003 with 3,618 Santas.

One of the Santas, Maria S, 72, said: "I left all my problems at home and came out here to be part of something special. It's Christmas spirit and we should all celebrate."
