Iran's parliament says to reduce ties with Britain

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) ? Iran's parliament has approved a bill to reduce Tehran's diplomatic relations with London and withdraw the country's ambassador to Britain.

In a session of parliament broadcast on state radio, lawmakers voted Sunday to require Iran's foreign ministry to reduce diplomatic relations to the level of charge d'affaires within two weeks. The bill needs ratification by a constitutional watchdog to become a law.

The decision is seen as a reaction to support offered by London last week to new American efforts to pressure Tehran to halt its alleged nuclear weapons program.

Iran says its nuclear activities have aimed at peaceful purposes like power generation.

Black Friday and Small Business Saturday in Georgetown

Patch:

Georgetown draws in shoppers with its festive decorations, bedecked storefronts and its big name and standard chain retailers like Coach or The Gap. But, the neighborhood is also home to small businesses--73 percent of businesses in the neighborhood's are actually small businesses, according to the Georgetown Business Improvement District. Next year there might even be a skating rink at the Washington Harbour to draw in even more shoppers.
