The United Kingdom has announced that it will contribute 75 million pounds -- about $100 million -- to the U.N.'s global fund to fight HIV/AIDS in the developing world, the Guardian reports. Britain's contribution is smaller than the United States' $200 million allocation, but it represents a greater proportion of the country's gross domestic product than the funding proposed by the Bush administration. However, since international contributions to the fund thus far have been "pitiful" -- only Britain and the United States have pledged money -- the U.K. contribution "will not swell Kofi Annan's coffers," the Guardian reports.
