He became involved

He became involved in politics soon after founding his own oil company, serving as a member of the House of Representatives, among other positions. He ran unsuccessfully for president of the United States in 1980, but was chosen by party nominee Ronald Reagan to be the vice presidential nominee, and the two were subsequently elected. During his tenure, Bush headed administration task forces on deregulation and fighting drug abuse.
In 1988, Bush launched a successful campaign to succeed Reagan as president, defeating Democratic opponent Michael Dukakis. Foreign policy drove the Bush presidency; military operations were conducted in Panama and the Persian Gulf at a time of world change; the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolved two years later. Domestically, Bush reneged on a 1988 campaign promise and after a struggle with Congress, signed an increase in taxes that Congress had passed. In the wake of economic concerns, he lost the 1992 presidential election to Democrat Bill Clinton.

Shooting sparks Argentina protest
Police in Argentina have cordoned off an area of the capital, Buenos Aires, after a week which saw at least three people killed in clashes between squatters and local residents.

Around 1,000 migrant workers pitched their tents in the area in protest at the lack of adequate housing.

After police failed to evict the squatters, some local residents attacked the migrants, killing two Bolivian men and a Paraguayan woman.

Police say they have now restored calm.

Heavily-armed members of the security forces along with armoured vehicles and helicopters were deployed to Villa Soldati, a poor neighbourhood of the capital.

Lethal clashes
Hundreds of families, many of them migrant workers from Bolivia and Paraguay, illegally occupied Indoamericana Park in Villa Soldati demanding they be given housing by the state.

After security forces failed to move the squatters, local residents armed with sticks and rocks attacked the camp in an effort to scare its occupants into leaving.

At least three people were killed in the clashes, although reports of a fourth victim have not yet been confirmed by the authorities.

The BBC's Daniel Schweimler in Buenos Aires says the violence has shocked Argentina, where rising crime was already a major issue.

Our correspondent says President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner responded on Friday by announcing the creation of a new Security Ministry .

The ministry will be headed by Defence Minister Nilda Garre.
