Australia parliament gift shop withdraws 'Barrack' mug
A gift shop at Australia's Parliament House has withdrawn 200 mugs intended to mark US President Barack Obama's visit because of a spelling glitch.

The A$10 ($8.2, £5.6) mugs welcomed "Barrack Obama" - a mistake attributed to an official who ordered them.

Two were sold before the error was spotted but the rest have since been scrapped.

They would not have been needed anyway - Mr Obama has cancelled his visit to deal with the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
