{"text": "AFP_ENG_19970409.0547\n\nNEW YORK, April 9 , 1997 (AFP)\n\nOrthodox Jews issue \"summons\" to Bronfman over Swiss banks effort\n\n\n\n\nEdgar Bronfman, the billionaire chairman of Seagram Inc., has been issued a summons to face an Orthodox Jewish court and accused of \"misrepresenting\" Jewish efforts to recover assets from Swiss banks, Jewish officials said.\n\nA Hasidic group, the World Council of Orthodox Jewish Communities, issued a rabbinical court summons Tuesday for the World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO), which Bronfman chairs, according to the president of the World Council, Rabbi Chaim Stauber.\n\nIn the summons, known as a \"beit din,\" World Council members accuse Bronfman of \"misrepresenting\" the Jewish community and demand that he cease all current negotiations until their grievances are resolved.\n\n\"We are dealing with the spoils of the war, the ashes of our forefathers,\" Stauber said.\n\n\"This is an uphill battle. It's like fighting Goliath.\"\n\nThe WJRO -- a worldwide consortium of nine organizations -- is the group negotiating restitution issues with Switzerland, Poland and other European countries to regain property stolen from Jews during World War II.\n\nBut the World Council, whose members are mainly comprised of survivors of pre-war European Jewry, complain that they have been unable to get their restitution claims addressed.\n\nThe World Council is comprised of strictly Orthodox Hasidic Jews. They are forbidden from suing other Jews in a state court, and must instead seek to have their grievances addressed by a triumvirate of rabbis in a beit din.\n\nIf the WJRO ignores the rabbinical summons, then the World Council is free to pursue the matter in a civil court.\n\nElan Steinberg, and aide to Bronfman, said he had still not received the summons and had not decided how or if he would respond to it. The summons was issued by mail Tuesday.\n\nVarious elements of the Jewish community are united on efforts to recover lost assets from Switzerland and elsewhere, but are frequently divided on how to do it and how to distribute the recovered monies afterwards.\n\nWhile the World Council represents thousands of Hasidic Jews, it has remained outside the fold of more mainstream Jewish organizations.\n\nThe WJRO, on the other hand, is recognized by the government of Israel as the official organization to deal with the issue of Jewish restitution.\n\nMany of the World Council's members are originally from eastern European countries where restitution of Jewish property is again becoming a key issue.\n\nThe World Council claims to have lost synagogues, Torahs and other communal properties to the Nazis. But they complain that, because the WJRO is handling all negotiations, they cannot get their claims addressed.\n\nThe World Council is also a plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit brought by Holocaust survivors against Swiss banks in federal court in New York.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "issued", "start_char": 192, "end_char": 198, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type":

Nigeria two weeks ago, Canadian press said in a report Wednesday.\n\nIgali was confronted two weeks ago while watching television with his brother in his private residence in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, four days after arriving from Canada. Four armed men burst into the apartment, demanding valuables before striking Igali, the report cited Nigerian media as saying.\n\n\"I was stabbed at the back of my neck and beaten up with the butts of their guns,\" Igali told the \"Daily Sunsport\" of Lagos. \"They collected everything from me -- phones, laptops and cash.''\n\n\"The Daily Champion\", a Lagos-based newspaper, reported the stolen property was valued at 1.5 million naira (about 122,600 U.S.dollars).\n\nIgali, who won gold in the 69-kilogram category at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, said he was traumatized by the robbery, and isn't sure he wants to remain in Nigeria.\n\n\"I thought I was doing a good thing, coming home and helping in community development,\" said Igali, who commissioned a modern sports academy in September his home town of Enewari. \"I have spent so much time and resources trying to uplift the quality of life here.\n\n\"If this is how I want to be paid then I had better stay back in Canada,\" the

caused mudslides that smothered dozens of villages in the eastern Philippines Friday, killing 388 according to the Red Cross.\n\nThe rain mixed with volcanic ash on the slopes of the Mayon volcano, located some 350 kilometers (217 miles) southeast of Manila, creating a thick brown sludge that swept down the mountainside, local authorities said.\n\nThe mudflow struck shortly after midnight, burying everything in its path and reaching the rooftops of the region's bamboo houses.\n\n\"We do not have exact figures, but we are looking at about 200 dead ... principally in the vicinity of Mayon volcano,\" said Glenn Rabonza, the executive officer of the national disaster coordinating council.\n\nHe said rescuers were concentrating their efforts on trying to save lives.\n\nThe Red Cross later said some 388 were killed and 96 missing following the mudflow.\n\nEmmy Salgado, a local resident, said that a two-month old baby had been found alive on a buried hut's rooftop.\n\nIn Daraga town, just outside Legaspi city, over 20 mud-covered bodies were brought to the local basketball court for identification.\n\nThe typhoon, which hit the eastern region of Bicol before dawn Thursday, packing maximum winds of 150 kilometers (93 miles) per hour, knocked out electrical services, telephone lines and water supply, further hampering rescue and relief efforts.\n\nPeople could be seen wandering around many of the worst affected areas outside Legaspi, bewildered and confused, as they sifted through the debris looking for personal effects.\n\nSome were seen repairing damaged roofs, ripped off by the typhoon during the night, with iron sheeting.\n\nRelief services were stretched to the limit trying to find survivors and investigating reports of villages swept away.\n\nThe typhoon was initially expected to hit Manila but veered south and struck the Bicol region instead, before moving west towards the South China Sea.\n\nLocal resident Wally Magkatok said in a radio interview that \"the rain was really hard and the volcanic materials mixed in with it\" in his village of Tagas.\n\n\"It was only three minutes before the water level suddenly rose,\" he said.\n\n\"We had to rescue people in our village, especially those who had climbed onto the roofs, still hanging on to their children,\" he said.\n\nThey were taken by surprise as the area had rarely been hit by flooding before, he added.\n\nCarolyn Wilson, an English examiner with the British Council who was in Legaspi when the storm hit, said it struck with incredible force, tearing off roofs, blowing in windows and uprooting trees.\n\nThe Pepperland Hotel where she was staying had roof damage, causing water to cascade in and flood most of the rooms, she said.\n\nShe added many of Legaspi's streets were flooded,

contract extension worth more than 21 million U.S. dollars, according to the Los Angeles Times Tuesday.\n\nThe team and Dunleavy's agent have worked out a deal that will pay him more than 5.3 million U.S. doallars a season. The Clippers have not made the deal public because bonuses tied to future playoff appearances were still being worked out, the Times said.\n\nThe Clippers improved dramatically under Dunleavy last season, posting their best win total since the franchise's glory days as the Buffalo Braves in the mid-1970s. The team reached the playoffs for the first time in nine seasons and came within one win of reaching the Western Conference final.\n\nThe Times reported the offer is close to the 6 million U.S. a year Dunleavy's agent initially proposed and would make him among the highest-paid coaches in the NBA.\n\nDunleavy, the NBA's 1999 coach of the year, currently earns 2.5 million U.S. dollars a season, and

Ning\n\nMACAO, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Macao is on high alert over the bird flu epidemic fear, as the body temperature scanning at border checkpoints was resumed Friday.\n\nThe anti-bird flu temperature screening covers all border checkpoints including the Macao-Zhuhai Barrier Gate, linking the neighboring mainland city of Zhuhai.\n\nThe fever check, initiated during the SARS crisis in 2003, is meanwhile continuing at the Macao International Airport.\n\nXinhua reporter Friday witnessed a squad of technicians from the Macao Health Bureau (MHB) on watch of travelers through two image systems at the arrival hall of the Macao-Zhuhai Barrier Gate.\n\nMHB technicians said they started the surveillance mission Thursday to monitor the body temperature of all Macao residents and visitors.\n\nThe systems automatically read all travelers' body temperature when they pass through.\n\nIf the temperature exceeds the standardized 34 to 35 degree Celsius, health inspectors will re-check the travelers and possibly require them to undergo more follow-up health checks at a local hospital.\n\nMeanwhile, Zhuhai's border checkpoint in Gongbei area has started temperature monitoring since Thursday.\n\nAll departing passengers are also requested to fill out a form on their health condition at the Gongbei checkpoint.\n\nIf passengers are suspected of displaying H5N1 symptoms, they will be banned from leaving Zhuhai.\n\nForeign and Taiwan passport holders are demanded to fill out the health forms on their arrival to Zhuhai.\n\nBack in Macao, no measures against the import of poultry have been taken yet, Cheung So Mui, vice president of the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (CMAB), told local media on Friday.\n\nHowever, the Macao Post Daily quoted the official as saying that the CMAB will continue to pay close attention to the issue of the bird flu epidemic.\n\nCheung also reportedly said the CMAB is considering ceasing the licenses of a number of poultry hawkers who are running their businesses on the open ground.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "scanning", "start_char": 268, "end_char": 276, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type":

arrested 19 people during a night of simmering unrest in Sydney as they prepared for a major crackdown on a feared new outbreak of racial violence at the weekend, officers said Friday.\n\nArmed with new powers granted by an emergency session of the New South Wales state parliament, police set up check points on a number of main roads in Sydney's troubled southern suburbs.\n\nA wave of arrests followed after several incidents, including a Molotov cocktail thrown at police, an elderly man attacked with a crowbar and an officer injured in a brawl, Assistant Commissioner Dave Owens told the national AAP news agency.\n\nThe arrests were made by a special task force set up after a mob of whites attacked people of Arab appearance at south Sydney's Cronulla beach on Sunday, sparking days of retaliatory attacks by mainly ethnic-Lebanese men.\n\nPolice used new powers granted by an emergency session of the New South Wales parliament Thursday, after lawmakers were recalled from their summer recess.\n\nThe legislation gives police powers to \"lock down\" suburbs, close pubs, enforce alcohol bans and confiscate cars.\n\nThe overnight display of force came ahead of an expected major clampdown at the weekend, when police will treble their numbers to up to 1,500 officers at troubled beaches and suburbs.\n\nPrime Minister John Howard, writing in Australia's Daily Telegraph Friday, said the violence was a result of people who had \"no regard for the law\" and those who had \"no respect for their fellow Australians\".\n\n\"It is clear the best way to deal with the challenge is for everyone to calm down,\" wrote Howard, who has dismissed suggestions that Australia is a racist society.\n\n\"The most immediate -- and best -- solution is maintenance of law and order.\"\n\nDespite the attacks, the overwhelming majority of Australians still had \"the proper instincts and decent values\", he said.\n\n\"In the long term we can reflect on whether there are some lessons to be learned or messages to be heeded,\" he said of the events of the past week.\n\nMeanwhile, the prime minister encouraged Australians to enjoy the holiday season. \"Let us celebrate Christmas and the long days of summer,\" Howard wrote.\n\n\"Celebrate the fact Australia is still the greatest place in the world to live.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

urged to improve aviation security\n\n\n\n\nAfrican aviation will have to increase investment to reach international security standards, South African Transport Minister Jeff Radebe said on Monday.\n\nSpeaking at the 17th International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers Association (IFATCA), Radebe said: \"African aviation forms a small percentage of overall international activities, yet represents a high level of accidents at international level.\"\n\nHe cited an African Development Bank study which found that African countries must invest between 150 billion U.S. dollars and 200 billion dollars on aviation to bring them up to international security standards.\n\nThe continent has about 500 national airports, 117 international airports and more than 1,000 airfields.\n\nAlthough Africa accounted for only 4.5 percent of global air traffic, 25 percent of all accidents in which aircraft were lost in 2004 occurred in Africa, according to the International Air Transport Association.\n\n\"With the increased growth in international economies that aviation contributes, it is critical that the industry considers tightening up its safety and security infrastructure to enhance growth and development in travel,\" Radebe said.\n\nWith the 2010 Soccer World Cup to be hosted by South Africa, the Air Traffic Navigation System (ATNS) was investigating ways to improve capacity, staffing and infrastructure locally.\n\n\"The ATNS has invested 786 million rand (109 million dollars) in projects and the continued renewal of infrastructure, radar upgrading and rescue navigation systems. A further 125 million rand (17 million dollars) has been allocated to train 50 new people every year for the next five years,\" Radebe said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

Nov. 14 , 2006 (Xinhua)\n\nU.S. trade deals in Colombia, Peru put to test: report\n\n\n\n\nThe election of a Democratic- controlled Congress more skeptical about the value of free trade is forcing Colombia and Peru to decide whether they need to make additional concessions on labor issues to win congressional approval of trade deals they have negotiated with the U.S., The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.\n\nThe report said the two South American nations have negotiated deals with the U.S. that liberalize trade in a host of areas, including industrial tariffs, textiles, and apparel and service industries.\n\nPeru already has ratified the pact; Colombia plans to sign its agreement next week and ratify it afterwards. Congress isn't likely to take up either measure until next year, after the Democrats take control, according to the report.\n\nDemocrats have long complained that the South American agreements -- as well as other deals signed by the Bush administration -- skimp on protections of labor rights. That has presented Colombia and Peru with a dilemma: Should they make concessions beyond what the White House has sought -- which is sure to be controversial at home -- or face possible rejection of the deals by Congress, said the report.\n\nOn Monday, Colombian President Alvaro Uribe said he didn't plan to accept changes in the deal. \"I consider that the provisions we have included to protect workers in the agreement are clear provisions\" and didn't need to be augmented, he said, after a day of lobbying on Capitol Hill. \"More than the provisions, we have the political will to protect our workers.\"\n\nEarlier in the day, Hernando de Soto, a Peruvian economist appointed as special trade envoy, took a more conciliatory stance. He said his country had a \"game plan\" to present to the U.S. that \"should put to rest the concerns many Democrats have concerning labor and other matters,\" according to Reuters. But he wasn't more specific.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "election", "start_char": 123, "end_char": 131, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "NOUN",

Ltd. and Nikko Securities Co. Ltd., two of Japan's Big Four stockbrokers, announced Friday net losses for the year to March, joining market leader Nomura Securities Co. Ltd. which disclosed its own net loss of 243 billion yen (two billion dollars) on Thursday.\n\nDaiwa, the country's second-largest broker, said it suffered a net parent company loss of 84.0 billion yen, reversing a net profit of 43.7 billion yen a year earlier. Pre-tax earnings fell 29.2 percent to 44.3 billion yen while operating income fell 3.3 percent to 291.8 billion yen.\n\nNikko, ranked third, announced a net consolidated loss of 116.7 billion yen, reversing a net profit of 38 billion yen with pre-tax earnings plunging 60 percent from a year earlier to 28.5 billion yen. Group operating income was up 17 percent at 461.1 billion yen.\n\nFollowing a similar move by NoMura on Thursday, neither company offered profit forecasts for the current year although Daiwa vice president Hiromitsu Sogame said his company's projection was for higher earnings than the year just ended. But he declined to give figures.\n\nDaiwa blamed its poor result on \"large losses amid a slack stock market\" along with cutbacks in bond-trading activity.\n\nDuring the year, the company suffered an extraordinary loss of 120 billion yen on the bailout of troubled affiliate Daiwa Finance Co. Ltd., a Tokyo-based company in which the securities firm had a five percent stake.\n\nSogame said costs were expected to rise further this year due to upgrading ahead of the planned \"Big Bang\" for the Tokyo financial market, modelled on British deregulatory reforms a decade ago and expected to be in place by 2001.\n\n\"We will renew our bond trading room and build a personal computer network and proceed with global risk management projects,\" he said.\n\nReferring to a recent scandal involving illegal trading by Nomura, Sogame said Daiwa was seeking to set up an operations administration department to strengthen internal supervision. \"So far, we have not received a report that illegal trading and transactions have been found,\" he said.\n\nAsked about trading by individual investors, he said: \"I do not expect individual investors to stay away from the market because of Nomura's illegal transactions ... I hope the share will rise, as it has been at a low level.\"\n\nNikko vice president Masao Yuki said his company had not detected any incoming transfer of funds from Nomura following the scandal.\n\nAsked whether Nikko had conducted internal investigations, he said: \"It is natural to conduct internal investigations, and if any problem emerges, we will disclose it. But we cannot disclose details of client trading.\"\n\nNikko said extraordinary losses during the latest year came to 147.5 billion yen, reflecting assistance to three companies within the group.\n\nYuki said earnings were pressured by declining profits at subsidiaries in Europe, the United States and Asia in the year to March although banking units in the United States and Luxembourg booked firm profits.\n\n\"Rising personnel costs such as hiring talented traders ... are pressuring earnings,\" he added.\n\nRefering to Nikko's lower market share on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Yuji said: \"I think the weight of foreign securities has been rising.\"\n\nNikko's share of trading on the exchange fell from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent by volume and from 8.5 percent to 8.0 percent by value.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "announced", "start_char": 195, "end_char": 204, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "REPORTING", "pos": "VERB", "tense": "PAST",

His signed article was published by People's Daily on Friday.\n\nIt's expected that some 289 million rural people, equivalent to the entire total population of the United States, will move to cities over the next 15 years.\n\nHe estimates by 2020, 57 percent of China's population will live in urban areas. By that time 828 million will be living in cities, whereas in 2002 urban dwellers numbered 326 million.\n\nThe researcher calls on the government to explore ways to help improve social security problems facing rural migrant laborers, who account for 46.5 percent of the workforce in second (or industrial production) and service industries, according to the nation's fifth census in 2000.\n\nMigrant workers make up as much as 80 percent of the total workforce in the construction sector, the census showed.\n\nDespite their contribution to urban economies, rural laborers have difficulties settling down in cities due to a lack of permanent housing and stable incomes, Han says.\n\nHe acknowledges that rural workers face restrictions finding permanent employment and enrolling their kids in city schools. Han says this is because of the country's decades-old household registration system which makes it hard for rural or migrant workers to integrate into urban society.\n\nIf these problems areas't solved, Han warns, it will be more difficult for the government to handle issues relating to the country's agriculture and rural economy.\n\nHe believes more should be done to create job opportunities for rural laborers in order to raise their income and protect their legitimate rights. This, says the researcher, will allow for a more \"harmonious\" urban society.\n\nFarmer peasants make up about 70 percent of China's population of 1.3 billion but agriculture contributes only 15 percent to the country's gross domestic product.\n\nExperts also point to the widening income gap between rural and urban residents, as an average farmer makes only a third as much as his urban counterpart.\n\nThe National Bureau of Statistics said that average incomes for China's farmers rose 6.8 percent in 2004, the biggest increase in seven years. Yet the average income for farmers stood at just 2, 936 yuan (355 US dollars) per person, while the national average annual income exceeds 1,000 US dollars.", "time_expressions": null,

success\n\n\n\n\nFrance coach Bernard Laporte revealed Thursday that he would be looking to emulate Ireland's strategy as the hosts prepare for next year's rugby World Cup.\n\nLaporte blamed the heavy club schedule of many of France's internationals for their dismal autumn series which included two limp and uninspiring losses to World Cup favourites the All Blacks.\n\nAnd he said that the two-time world finalists would be using the Six Nations Championship as a springboard for their World Cup campaign.\n\n\"We have to win the Six Nations, our reputation is at stake, but we want to use this big gathering to have a look at all the players,\" said Laporte during the official presentation for the 2007 Six Nations.\n\nAnd for the first time in the competition, all forty members of the France squad will be mobilised for the tournament from February 3 to March 18.\n\n\"Of prime importance will be physical freshness, enthusiasm and spirit of competition,\" explained Laporte, adding that during the November Test series \"(teams like Ireland) showed a totally different level of physical freshness than us\".\n\n\"A player like (Ireland captain) Brian O'Driscoll plays half the matches of our centres and on the pitch that shows,\" he said.\n\nLaporte pointed out that they will be looking to build physical fitness with a wide-ranging programme of activites scheduled for the week before each match, with players aware that their place in the World Cup is at stake.\n\n\"All (of the 40 players) will play at least one tournament match, but no-one will play all five matches,\" said Laporte.\n\nToulouse fly-half Frederic Michalak, who underwent knee surgery in November, will however not be among the group, Laporte added.\n\nFrance open their Six Nations campaign against Italy in Rome on February 3, followed by Ireland at Croke Park in Dublin on February 11.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "revealed", "start_char": 145, "end_char": 153, "eid": "e1",

of its election monitoring teams, but a joint declaration at the close of the summit is unlikely, US and European Union officials said Tuesday.\n\nUS Under-Secretary of State Nicholas Burns said, hours before the end of the ministerial conference of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in Ljubljana, that all 55 members of the pan-European organisation had agreed on a roadmap for reform as requested by Russia.\n\nHe added most of the participants had agreed the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), the OSCE's election monitoring body, \"should be strengthened instead of weakened.\"\n\nRussian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov attacked the ODIHR Monday, saying it had an \"unacceptable autonomy\" in monitoring elections, mainly in the former Soviet states, and urged the organisation to set clear guidelines for its methodology, composition and work.\n\nWhile a compromise was reached over OSCE reforms due to start next year, Russia could not agree with the US and the European Union on a joint final declaration, which must be unanimously approved by participants before the end of the conference.\n\n\"We are not ready to trade principles for a document,\" Burns said, adding negotiations had failed because of Russia's refusal to acknowledge the so-called Istanbul commitments to withdraw its military forces from Georgia and Moldova, which Moscow agreed to in 1999.\n\n\"The great majority of countries believe we should reaffirm the commitments of Istanbul,\" Burns said, adding all member states were ready to praise Moscow's progress in pulling out of bases in Georgia, following an agreement signed last May.\n\n\"But there has been no progress in Moldova since 2003 in terms of reduction of the Russian forces,\" Burns said.\n\nThe head of the British delegation, John Sawers, said the European Union proposed a compromise over the final declaration that was initially accepted by Washington while the Russians were still considering it.\n\n\"The Russians may object to it, in which case the language (declaration) may well be used by the chairman in office,\" Sawers said, meaning the conference chairman, Slovenia's Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel, would issue a final statement if a consensus cannot be reached over the document.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "agreed",

pay 12 yuan (1.5 U.S. dollars) a day in royalties to music artists for each room, according to a new regulation set by China's National Copyright Administration.\n\nA statement on the administration's website said that royalties would first be collected in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou on a trial basis. The practice will gradually be widened to cover other cities, with the payment rate varying according to local economic conditions.\n\nThe move is another measure China has taken to improve its copyright protection in response to increasing pressure and is deemed vital in encouraging innovation.\n\nThe China Audio and Video Association has been designated as the temporary agent to collect the royalties for music being played in karaoke bars. This function will be taken over by an association for the collective management of audio and video copyrights after it is granted official approval by the government.\n\nThe size of the karaoke bars in China generally range from several rooms to more than 100 rooms.\n\nLiu Wenhe, who is working to establish audio and video copyright association, said the charges collected from the karaoke bars will be paid to producers of the music works, including song writers and music companies.\n\n\"We will leave our foreign counterparts to handle payments to foreign companies and individuals,\" said Liu.\n\nHe said a special team will be established to start collecting the fees from karaoke bars, possibly before the end of this year.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

takeoff on its way to Santo Domingo, the mayor's office announced.\n\nRenowned artist Freddy Rodriguez was selected from a field of six finalists for the memorial honoring the 265 victims of the Nov. 12, 2001 tragedy, said Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The 2-million-dollar memorial, financed by public and private funding, should be completed by fall 2006 -- in time for the fifth anniversary of the crash.\n\nThe plane was leaving John F. Kennedy International Airport on its way for the Dominican Republic when it plunged into the Queens neighborhood of Belle Harbor in the Rockaways. All passengers and crew on board were killed, along with five people on the ground.\n\n\"This process has brought us together to find the best way to honor and remember those we lost in a meaningful and enduring manner,\" Bloomberg said.\n\nFamily members of the victims have complained about the location of the site.

Paul II's appeal Sunday for peace and understanding in Bosnia got a mixed hearing from the faithful here, hopeful that tolerance will emerge but doubtful if it will happen soon.\n\nAcknowledging the wounds caused by Europe's bloodiest war in 50 years, the pope told an open-air mass in Sarajevo Sunday: \"Let us forgive and let us ask for forgiveness.\n\n\"If Christ is to be our advocate with the Father, we cannot fail to utter these words. We cannot fail to undertake the difficult but necessary pilgrimage of forgiveness, which leads to a profound reconciliation,\" the pontiff said.\n\nFor some, the message itself would help spread peace.\n\n\"This is a big event, it will bring peace, harmony and love to all of us,\" said 64-year-old Tilda, from the Croat-held town of Kiseljak.\n\n\"I believe it is possible to forgive, I would not come if I did not think reconciliation was possible,\" she said.\n\nOthers thought tolerance and reconciliation might take time.\n\n\"It will take some time before everyone forgives -- there were many victims,\" said Anto Zlatun, 48, from the mixed Moslem-Croat town of Novi Travnik.\n\n\"In myself lost my brother. Reconciliation is not possible right now, but in two or three years it will be necessary.\"\n\n\"I did not have any fears of coming to Sarajevo\" said his wife, Antija. \"If he (the pope) was ready to come, why should I not come as well?\"\n\nAlmost all Bosnia's Catholics are Croats from outside Sarajevo, and most of the estimated 30,000 who attended the papal mass headed to more than 400 buses and to trains for the journey home after the three-hour service.\n\nJelena Glavas, a 17-year-old from the town of Osara agreed reconciliation could not happen soon. \"Reconciliation is possible, but not now. Maybe later,\" she said.\n\n\"No, no, life together is not possible,\" said her teenaged friend, who refused to be named. \"I cannot forget what happened, or forgive those who did it.\"\n\nFor the pope, \"Of course, forgiveness, far from precluding the search for truth, actually requires it because an essential requisite for forgiveness and reconciliation is justice. But it still remains true that asking and granting forgiveness is something profoundly worthy of man.\"\n\nBut for 57-year-old Jelica, a Croat from Serb-held Banja Luka, the site of savage ethnic cleansing by Serb paramilitary units of Croats and Moslems during the 43-month war, while there will be peace, there will not be forgiveness.\n\n\"We feel great, everything will be OK, there will be peace, it does not matter who you are,\" she said. But, she added: \"We can forgive but we won't go to the houses of those who did something.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "appeal", "start_char": 128, "end_char": 134,

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said in an official statement.\n\nINEC advised all those who registered in the 2002/2003 exercise to take advantage of \"this unique opportunity\" by visiting the nearest INEC registration centre to obtain new voters cards containing their photographs in replacement of the old ones.\n\nRegistration of voters the April 2007 poll formally ended last December 14 amid complaints that tens of millions of citizens were not recorded during the exercise.\n\nThe electoral act stipulates that the registration of voters must have been completed 120 days before the start of 2007 gubernatorial and presidential poll, an INEC official told AFP.\n\nGovernorship elections are scheduled for April 14 while the presidential poll will be held a week later.\n\nA massive drive to put all over-18s on the electoral roll was beset by technical problems, a situation that drew the ire of the country's lawmakers who twice recently summoned the INEC boss, Maurice Iwu, to explain what they said was his agency's sloppy handling of the exercise.\n\nThe lawmakers and most Nigerians criticised the use of hi-tech polling e-machines which store voters' thumbprints and photographs, but proved ineffective in a demonstration in October.\n\nAlthough 33,000 such machines were judged necessary to fulfil the demand of the populous nation's mandatory registration, officials said that less than 20,000 were deployed for the exercise.\n\nThey also cited poor mobilisation and sensitisation of the people for the exercise.\n\nThe April 2007 poll is expected to lead in May to the first democratic handover to a new government since Nigeria gained independence from Britain in October 1960.\n\nPresident Olusegun Obasanjo, who has been in office since May 1999, is expected to hand over power on May 29 after the poll.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "said", "start_char": 92, "end_char": 96, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

(Xinhua)\n\nWritethru: APEC rises to challenges, grasps opportunities\n\n\n\n\nForeign and trade ministers of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) began their meeting Tuesday in the South Korean coastal city of Busan amid mounting gloom over trade liberalization and overshadowed by mounting terrorism and spreading avian flu.\n\nThe meeting would pave the way for an APEC summit with the participation of 21 economies in the Asia-Pacific region. The gathering would seek common ground on an open multilateral trading system and forge a unified response to terror attacks and health risks such as bird flu.\n\nA successful conclusion of the World Trade Organization (WTO) ministerial meeting in Hong Kong next month and rapid conclusion of the WTO Doha Development Agenda negotiations are expected to be the main business concern.\n\nOn the sidelines, South Korea plans to spur discussions on bilateral free trade agreements with countries like the United States and Japan. It also plans to seek a reduction of duties applied by members of the Association of South East Asian Nations.\n\nThe region has undergone dramatic changes characterized by the December tsunami in Asia and this year's hurricanes in America, the earthquake in Pakistan and the bird flu in Asia. Last week's bomb attacks in Jordan also alerted APEC members to promote anti- terrorism cooperation.\n\nAll this may enlarge the dimension of cooperation among the 21 APEC members and breathe new life to the grouping which includes seven of the world's 13 largest economies,represents more than a third of the world's population, and constitutes 60 percent of the global economy and nearly half of world trade.\n\nIt might be easier for APEC members to find common language and common interests in coping with issues like terrorism, natural disasters and bird flu, APEC observers said.\n\nUnlike previous summits, this year's APEC agenda would include natural disasters and bird flu and ways to enhance bilateral and multilateral cooperation in these fields, said the official, who refused to be named.\n\nAs part of joint efforts, a special fund of 2 million US dollars was envisaged by APEC senior officials to fight the spread of bird flu. Other concrete measures were expected to be hammered out.\n\nRemoving trade barriers, however, remained a hard job for APEC, which puts free trade at its priority list.\n\nAPEC members will renew their own commitment to the Bogor Goals made in 1994 by forming the Busan roadmap. It calls for group members with developed economies to fully liberalize trade and investment by 2010 with developing members to do so by 2020.\n\nAttempt to unlock the tangle in the WTO negotiations would dominate the APEC forum prior to next month's WTO meeting in Hong Kong.\n\nIn order to rescue the Hong Kong meeting, Asia-Pacific leaders were expected to plead with all nations involved in troubled global trade talks to make meaningful concessions.\n\nGlobal trade talks could collapse if the current impasse over agricultural subsidies and other issues were not resolved, trade experts said.\n\nThe forum was concerned that \"the current impasse in the negotiations may lead to a potential failure\" of the Hong Kong ministerial meeting, said a draft statement prepared by senior officials for their leaders to sign off.\n\n\"We all agree that the Hong Kong ministerial (meeting) will be a critical step in achieving this goal\" of reducing subsidies and other barriers to free trade, said the statement, whose final wording may be changed.\n\nThroughout the past week trade officials have expressed gloom about the Hong Kong meeting, with EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson saying the talks would fail.\n\nThe so-called Doha round of WTO talks, launched in the Qatari capital of Doha in 2001, has bogged down in a bitter dispute over agricultural subsidies which has pitted mainly rich nations against developing nations.\n\nDeveloping countries also argue that farm subsidies in rich nations such as the United States and EU countries depress global prices and prevent growers in poor nations from competing.\n\nThe European Union has rejected demands by the United States, Australia and some other APEC members to impose greater cuts in the subsidies.\n\nWTO members should \"make further, meaningful contributions to move the negotiations forward,\" said the APEC statement. \"Doing this will require economically and politically difficult decisions by all WTO members.\"\n\nExpectations were shrinking and hopes plummeting after negotiations earlier this month in Geneva and London failed to end the stand-off.\n\nThe statement said that while the initial expectations of the Hong Kong meeting may not be achieved, \"we should nonetheless not compromise the level of ambition for the whole round\" launched in Doha, Qatar in 2001.\n\nParticipants at the APEC ministerial meeting, were working hard to come up with a statement for their leaders to sign off.\n\nThe statement was expected to support the WTO, thus giving a boost to the staggering trade talks.\n\n\"What is needed at this moment is a strong message from leaders to keep spirits up,\" said one participant, who refused identification.\n\nSome participants, however, were worried about the Hong Kong meeting becoming a repeat of the previous ministerial gathering in Cancun, Mexico, in 2003, which bogged down in acrimony and paralyzed the WTO for months.\n\n\"APEC would like to change this message of crisis into a message of hope,\" said Kim Jong-hoon, South Korea's senior APEC official.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "began", "start_char": 206,

fourth place after 2-0 win over in Premier League\n\n\n\n\nLiverpool moved to the fourth place in the Premiership after a convincing 2-0 win over bottom-of-the table Sunderland on Wednesday.\n\nLiverpool went ahead in the 30th minute when Luis Garcia collected Xabi Alonso's pass and slipped a shot past Ben Alnwick.\n\nAlonso produced an even better pass for Liverpool's second goal, freeing Steven Gerrard, who rounded Alnwick and then prodded the ball into the empty net.\n\nThe only black mark for Liverpool was Mohamed Sissoko's second-half red card.\n\nSissoko was dismissed on 65 minutes following two yellow cards for a couple of bad tackles, first on Liam Lawrence and then on Dean Whitehead.\n\nHowever, even when Liverpool went down to 10 men, Sunderland were so poor they were unable to force Jose Reina to make a save until the closing stages of the game.\n\nIndeed, Liverpool contrived to produce the better chances, notably John Arne Riise's remarkable run from inside his own half, an attack that saw the Norwegian strike the bar with a thunderous shot.\n\nThe win was Liverpool's fifth successive Premiership victory and leaves Rafael Benitez's side 12 points behind leaders Chelsea with a game in hand.\n\nBenitez had left striker Djibril Cisse out of his squad following the Frenchman's petulant reaction at being substituted at Manchester City on Saturday, pairing Peter Crouch and Fernando Morientes in Liverpool's attack.\n\nBefore Liverpool went ahead, Crouch was played in on goal by Gerrard, but Alnwick did well to clear the danger.\n\nWith Liverpool 2-0 ahead Crouch had the goal at his mercy again following a goalmouth scramble but he collapsed after Stephen Caldwell's tackle, claiming a penalty.\n\nCrouch did better to head the ball into Riise's feet following a Gerrard free-kick, but the Norwegian's shot was well blocked by Justin Hoyte.\n\nSunderland's defeat was their seventh league loss and leaves them seven points behind fourth-from-bottom West Bromwich Albion.\n\nThe home side's play was riddled with mistakes and Chris Brown's horrendous miskick and another woeful shot from Whitehead summed up the poor quality of their attacking play.\n\nIt was Alonso who shook Liverpool out of their own early torpor, the Spaniard swivelling and hitting a half-volleyed pass from his own half.\n\nThe pass went between Gary Breen and Hoyte to free Garcia, who rolled his shot past Alnwick.\n\nAnother clever turn and pass, this time from Garcia, provided space for Gerrard, whose shot clipped the post as Liverpool tried to press home their advantage.\n\nAlonso having explored the space on the right of the Sunderland defence for the first goal, produced a pass to embarrass Caldwell and Danny Collins on the other flank.\n\nThe Spanish international midfielder's pass left Collins chasing Gerrard's shadow and the Liverpool captain finished in style, skipping his way past Alnwick, before slipping the ball into the net.\n\nAlonso capped a fine performance with an outrageous attempt to score with a long-range free-kick after Sissoko's dismissal.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

expanded search for human remains underway, according to a recent poll conducted by local media.\n\nAbout 54 percent of the 1,500 registered voters argued that construction of the Freedom Tower and other buildings in the site should proceed while 39 percent think it should stop until the search for remains is complete.\n\nThe search for human remains resumed last month when a power supply crew came upon remains while doing routine work in a manhole. So far, more than 200 remains have been found, leading some to believe the original search was not extensive enough.\n\nOne respondent said he believed the construction should keep going and stick to the plan, as it will take a long time to actually to uncover everything. But another believed the workers should stop because they keep finding bones from people. \"Out of respect for the people who died here, I think they should stop the construction and do a full, thorough search,\" he added.\n\nSome criticized the authorities for failing to do a better search before they started building, but the poll found that 47 percent were happy with the original search while 42 percent wish more had been done.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "believe", "start_char": 137, "end_char": 144, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "I_STATE",

Monday when a powerful earthquake hit eastern and central Africa, a hospital source said.\n\nThe victim, an infant, died of injuries sustained when the quake caused the collapse of his family's house on the outskirts of the town of Kalemie, some 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the epicenter of the quake, the source told AFP.\n\n\"The infant had been seriously wounded by the collapse and died of his injuries,\" said the source at the Asia clinic in Kalemie.\n\nEarlier, Michel Bonnardeaux, spokesman for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Kinshasa, said at least three people, including the infant, had been hurt.\n\n\"Two houses and a church collapsed on periphery of Kalemie and in the center, where there was a lot of panic, there are cracks in many buildings,\" he told AFP, citing UN officials in the area.\n\nAn AFP correspondent quoted eyewitnesses as saying several Kalemie residents had been injured and a number of buildings damaged in the town, when the quake that measured 7.5 on the Richter scale occurred.\n\nResidents of six east and central African nations reported feeling the tremors.", "time_expressions": null,

366-million-US-dollar Siam Paragon mall on Friday, tries to position itself as a regional shopping rival to Singapore and Hong Kong.\n\nThe URA said the tender allows for a commercial development with

The board will decide whether the Islamic Saudi\n Academy, funded by the government of Saudi Arabia, can move to Ashburn village,\n Virginia. But local residents have not exactly laid out the\n red carpet for their would be neighbors. The World's Nancy Marshalll has\n our story.\n\n\n\n\n Inside the Islamic Saudi academy in Mount Vernon, Virginia, many of the\n girls wear head scarves and some of the neatly dressed children are in uniforms.\n The instruction is in English for most classes, in Arabic for language and\n religious studies. The school says it teaches the children to be good\n Muslims and good students. They're learning a civics lesson from the residents of\n Loudon county. The Islamic Saudi Academy has twelve hundred mostly American\n students but would take thirty-five hundred if it had the room.\n The academy bought a hundred acres in Loudon county, Virginia, and asked for permission\n to build a fifty million dollar campus. In the nearby suburban housing\n tracts, someone dropped off leaflets warning the school could bring\n thousands of Middle Eastern strangers and terrorists. Some residents of the mostly\n white, mostly middle class area became alarmed. James Zogby of the Arab\n American Institute says it's a familiar story.\n\n\n There is, a- at a very deep level in our culture, um I think, a sense of, of\n ignorance about Islam, a fear about who Muslims are and what they're doing.\n\n\n Many local residents denounced the bigotry, but opposition to the school\n then shifted. Now critics of the academy are targeting its owner, the Saudi\n government. Pastor James Allmen of the fellowship church and school in\n Ashburn has led the anti-Saudi campaign. James Allmen says he has no problem with a\n privately funded academy, but he has a big problem with a Saudi funded school.\n\n\n The Saudi Arabian government has an atrocious record on human rights and is known to be one of the worst offending countries when it comes to religious\n persecution.\n\n\n\n\n That's correct.\n\n\n And that is a condition of the application, then.\n\n\n That is a condition of-\n\n\n At a public hearing on the Islamic Saudi Academy's application, the split\n in county opinion was obvious, supporters of the academy, including Ann\n Robinson, said the Saudis were just providing a service and it was unfair\n to penalize children.\n\n\n We do not further the purpose of human rights in the world by violating\n the human rights under our own constitution.\n\n\n But opponents said the school might be a target for terrorist attacks,\n complained about its tax exempt status, and wondered why the Saudis are not compelled to allow Christians to worship in their country. Virginia Welch\n delivered this message to the county board of supervisors.\n\n\n I urge you to do the right thing and send a message to the Saudis that the\n citizens of Loudon county embrace religious and human freedom.\n\n\n Loudon county officials say they'll rule on the application based only on\n land use issues and ignore all the other objections. What's really behind those\n objections, some say, is Loudon county's collision with a new reality in\n America that the country is changing religiously as surely as it is racially and ethnically. According to the Arab American institute, Islam will one\n day be the second largest religion in the country. For an indication of the\n problems that could face Muslims as they integrate into American life, one\n need look no farther than Loudon county, Virginia.

unexpectedly decided to quit after losing his first match in the Shanghai Masters Cup here on Monday.\n\n\"With the state of my ankle right now, there's no chance for me to be able to play again,\" said Agassi at a post-match news conference, after losing 6-4, 6-2 to Russian tennis upstart Nikolay Davydenko in a Red Group round-robin matchup.\n\n\"This is, for me to go out on the court to play like this, nobody wants to see it,\" added the oldest player in the ATP finale. \"It's very dangerous and risky for my future to be ready for anything in the next four or five weeks. So this is just an unfortunate setback.\"\n\nThe 35-year-old played totally \"un-Agassi\" tennis in his first showdown on Monday of this year's Masters Cup, being broken for three times against five aces from his 24-year-old opponent.\n\nHis sluggish form, however, has no show in statistics of match, where Agassi committed 3 double faults and 23 unforced errors against 14 winners and Davydenko cracked just two more winners against 2 double-fault and 27 unforced errors.\n\nBesides fitness problem, Agassi imputed his lack of form to long absence from the court.\n\n\"When you haven't played in so long, I couldn't really hit balls for a couple of months because of my sprained ankle,\" said the United States native, who qualified for his fifth Tennis Masters Cup in six years and finished in top ten for 16th time this season in his 20-year career.\n\n\"Just from serving, in the last week of trying to get ready, it was just a little stiff and sore. But the movement is more of an issue.\"\n\nThe eight-time Grand Slam winner, ranked 5th in the ATP Entry Rankings, ruled out an unexpected bad status, and said: \"Last few days, it's arguably not getting worse, so I have to try and see and give it a chance to push through.\n\n\"But it has way too much effect on my movement. I'm scared to hurt it worse. It's still very painful, especially after 35, 40 minutes of being on the court.\n\n\"It doesn't do anybody any good for me to be out there, except for my opponents. That's it,\" he added.\n\nAgassi's withdrawal came just minutes after Spanish teenager Rafael Nadal pulled out due to left foot injury.\n\n\"I just heard that tonight. That's terrible. I hope his injury is something that doesn't last very long, because it's just been terrible this year for the amount of players that haven't been ready to play here.\"\n\nHe complained the tough schedule of ATP Tours, saying that \"It's probably a sign that things need to change somewhere for guys to feel better about their physical ability to get ready for a tournament this big. It's the end of a long year and it's not easy.

2005 (Xinhua)\n\nKhartoum voices optimism about new round of Darfur peace talks\n\n\n\n\nMajzoub al-Khalifa, head of the Sudanese government's delegation to the 7th Abuja peace talks on Darfur, said his side was optimistic about the new round kicked off late Tuesday.\n\nKhalifa made the remarks at a press conference before his departure for the Nigerian capital Abuja for the talks.\n\nHe told the reporters that his delegation has involved representatives from all Sudanese political parties of the national unity government in addition to the participation of the Darfur people through preparatory conferences which they had held on the issue.\n\nHe said he was optimistic on the next peace talks despite difficulties which might be brought up by differences inside a main faction of the Darfur rebels, referring to conflicts between two leaders of the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM).\n\nThe last round of the African Union (AU)-sponsored Abuja talks ended in October with a split in the SLM.\n\nKhalifa noted that after reaching the Declaration of Principles between the Darfur conflicting sides in the fifth round, negotiators discussed in the sixth round 40 clear and decisive points and agreed on 37 of them.\n\nThe government has made positive efforts on internal, political and development levels as well as the voluntary return of the displaced people in the Darfur region and the acknowledgement of justice and the rule of law, which would contribute in the success of the new round, he added.\n\nThe official hoped that the seventh round of peace talks would be well exploited by the Darfur parties taking into consideration positive factors that have been available such as the formation of the government of national unity in the country and the support by the AU, the European Union (EU), the United States and the United Nations.\n\nYassir Arman, representative of the former rebel the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) in the government delegation, said that the SPLM representatives in the talks were part of the government of national unity and would represent the whole country.\n\n\"Our existence in the peace talks will contribute to build trust between the government of national unity and the armed movements in Darfur particularly the Justice and Equality Movement and the Sudan Liberation Movement because of our good relations with these movements,\" he said.\n\nAbuja has been hosting several rounds of peace talks on Darfur, but conflicts still exist in Darfur.\n\nThe 7th round of Darfur talks will endeavor to strike a consensus on how to run Darfur over the long-term, particularly on power-sharing and wealth-sharing between Darfur's inhabitants and Khartoum, according to AU officials.", "time_expressions": null,

electoral deal\n\n\n\n\nLeaders of France's small Greens party struck an electoral pact with the main opposition Socialists on Wednesday in a bid to bolster the left's chances of victory in forthcoming snap elections.\n\nSocialist Party leader Lionel Jospin and Greens' leader Dominique Voynet ended months of joint talks on the terms of a pact with an agreement to run joint candidates in certain constituencies and avoid confrontation in others.\n\n\"We are satisfied,\" Voynet, who heads \"Les Verts\" (Greens), said on emerging from the talks. Jospin described the deal, which comes on the heels of a pact the previous day with the Communists, as part of his drive \"to assemble the forces of the left.\"\n\nBarely 10 days after President Jacques Chirac called the two-round ballot scheduled for May 25 and June 1, opinion polls are forecasting victory for his ruling rightwing coalition but with a sizeable cut in its 464-seat parliamentary majority.\n\nThe latest survey predicted 296 seats for the governing coalition against 258 for the left. The CSA polling institute gave the Socialists, Greens and small leftwing groups 237 seats and the Communists 21. The extreme right National Front could win one 1, it said.\n\nAt their talks, Voynet and Jospin agreed to refrain from fielding competing candidates in just over 100 of France's 577 constituencies but need further talks with the Communists before reach agreement on how best to hinder candidates from the extreme rightwing National Front from winning election.\n\nThe left, working hard to gather momentum ahead of the poll, on Tuesday also reached agreement with the Communists.\n\nThe seven-page text, a joint declaration rather than a program for government, lists several points of convergence between the two parties and calls on French voters to assure victory for the left.\n\nSkirting the Communists' opposition to the contentious issue of the further integration of Europe, the document invokes a compromise, speaking of going \"beyond the Treaty of Maastricht\" and \"redirecting European construction towards a social Europe\".\n\nThe declaration vows that the left will make job creation \"an absolute priority\", creating 700,000 jobs for young people and reducing the work week to 35 hours while maintaining salary levels.\n\nThe PS-PC text also calls for a halt to

be concerned at the deployment of Chinese troops here 71 days before the territory's handover in July, a government official said Monday.\n\nNicholas Ng, secretary for constitutional affairs, told Hong Kong's Legislative Council the arrival of the advance party of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Monday \"should not worry\" people here.\n\n\"I understand the public's concern,\" said Ng, but \"I believe they will carry out their duty with discretion.\"\n\nNg's remarks came as a convoy of eight cars and vans brought 40 members of the PLA from the southern Chinese border city of Shenzhen into Hong Kong at Lok Ma Chau crossing point.\n\nThe advance troops are the first unit of the Chinese army to be deployed in Hong Kong since Britain seized the territory in January 1841.\n\nNg said the deployment was \"appropriate for the task of preparing for the transfer of responsibilities,\" when Hong Kong returns to China on July 1.\n\nHe said the fact the PLA vehicles carried Hong Kong licence plates showed the Chinese army would heed the territory's laws and would be granted no special privileges.\n\nThe leader of the advance PLA party, Major-General Zhou Borong, was greeted by the commander of the British forces here, Major-General Bryan Dutton when he arrived at the high-rise barracks on the waterfront on Hong Kong Island.\n\nDutton gave a veiled warning about deep-rooted fears among the many Hongkongers who associate the PLA with bloody images of tanks crushing student demonstrators in Tiananmen Square in June 1989.\n\n\"We intend to give the future garrison every possible assistance as they prepare for their role,\" he said, before expressing the hope that \"their relationship with the local community will be as constructive and rewarding as ours has been.\"\n\nChina, implicitly acknowledging such concerns, has repeatedly promised its Hong Kong garrison will be drawn from the finest and most disciplined ranks of its armed forces.\n\nUp to 10,000 Chinese soldiers are expected to be based in Hong Kong after the handover, a figure roughly equal to British numbers before 1994.\n\nThe British strength is now around 1,800 which will fall to around 1,600 by the end of May, leaving only a few to be withdrawn in the final few weeks before the handover.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "concerned", "start_char":

with China despite snub\n\n\n\n\nThe Dutch government on Tuesday vowed to develop relations with China, despite Beijing's rebuttal of a visit by the country's economic minister, following European criticism of its human rights record.\n\nIn a statement, the Netherlands, which holds the rotating European Union presidency, said it would \"continue to commit itself to developing relations with China.\"\n\nHowever, neither the Dutch foreign nor economic ministries would comment on China's decision on Tuesday to postpone all exchanges of visits with Denmark and to block a trip to Beijing by Dutch Economic Minister Hans Wijers scheduled for June 7-14.\n\nThe move to postpone the trip, which had been set for June 7-14, came after The Hague, current holder of the rotating EU presidency, sought to sponsor an EU resolution criticising China at the annual session of the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva.\n\nEconomics Minister Hans Wijers, who was to lead the delegation, \"is not welcome,\" the Chinese authorities told The Hague.\n\nThe Netherlands reacted furiously early this month when France, Germany, Italy and Spain refused to back an EU motion, calling the affair \"a serious reversal for the prospects of an EU foreign policy.\"\n\nDenmark then took the initiative to put forward its own resolution damning Beijing's rights record, which is due to go before a vote in the 53-member commission later Tuesday.\n\nBeijing retaliated immediately, a foreign ministry spokesman stating Tuesday that \"China will postpone exchanges of visits with Denmark and stop further dialogue on human rights.\"\n\nDenmark's motion received support from nine fellow EU members, the United States, Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland.\n\nThe EU has made a resolution condemning China to the commission every year since the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing in 1989, but each time China has managed to garner just enough support -- notably from developing countries -- to avoid formal

Olow said that he expected the pirates to contact his company soon.\n\n\"I don't know the number of gunmen but the captain told me that gunmen hijacked the ship around Adale coast and they have taken it to an unknown destination,\" Olow was quoted as saying.\n\nThe new hijacking comes after months of lull in piracy incidents off the Somali coast after powerful Supreme Council of Islamic Courts (SCIC)'s takeover of central Somali regions in June this year.\n\n\"We thought the era of pirates ended..but this shows us that there are still pirates in our waters,\" Olow said.\n\nThe latest seizure came after ten pirates who were captured early this year by the United States Navy off the coast of the lawless nation were sentenced for seven years in Kenya this week for piracy and hijacking\n\nThe U.S. seizure of the alleged pirates came amid a surge in hijackings off the coast of Somalia, where the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) had reported about 40 attacks on ships since mid-March of last year.\n\nSomalia's coastline is one of the world's worst areas for piracy, but incidents have declined since the Islamic courts rose to power in June.\n\nSomalia has been in the grip of warlords and militias for years and has not had a functioning national government since 1991.\n\nThe decline in piracy has also been attributed to foreign navy patrols.",

14 , 2005\n\nSurvey finds surprise drop in Australian consumer sentiment\n\n\n\n\nAustralian consumer confidence experienced a surprising fall in December, despite significantly lower petrol prices, according to a survey released Wednesday.\n\nThe Westpac-Melbourne Institute index found that consumer sentiment dropped 2.7 percent in December to 104.7 points from the previous month.\n\n\"The index surprisingly fell by 2.7 percent -- I say surprisingly because last month it rose by nine percent and that was following a six percent fall in petrol prices,\" Westpac Banking Corp's global head of economics Bill Evans said.\n\n\"Since the last survey we've seen another 5.5 percent fall (in petrol prices) and yet the index actually fell,\" he told ABC radio.\n\nThe index has now settled at a point about six percent below the average level before higher global oil prices pushed up the price of petrol.\n\nEvans said it appeared that petrol prices were no longer as important in defining consumer sentiment and it was more likely that the fear of interest rate rises was weighing on consumers' minds.\n\nThe Reserve Bank of Australia last lifted its key official cash rate 25 basis points to 5.50 percent in March.\n\nFalling house prices in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in the September quarter as well as reforms to labour laws could also be contributing to the negative sentiment,

bureaucrats, government clerks, doctors, vets, businessmen and even housewives are named as conspirators in a 271-million-dollar fraud in India's Bihar state, the most crime-prone in the country.\n\n\"The system has collapsed. Nothing works,\" commented Uttam Sengupta, editor of The Times of India's regional edition in Bihar, India's second most populous state where some 12 million educated youths are jobless.\n\nSengupta and others do not blame Chief Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav for the virtual anarchy in the state.\n\n\"Lawlessness is partly because the system has collapsed. All political parties patronise criminals and the police does not function.\"\n\nYadav, two of his cabinet colleagues and a federal minister from Bihar, are among 56 others charged in the swindle, which federal investigators now say has been going on openly since 1977.\n\nDespite the spiralling lawlessness, economic chaos and rampant unemployment, Yadav was re-elected chief minister for a second time in 1995.\n\nBut now, Yadav faces mounting demands for his removal in connection with the scandal which people in Bihar say is a symbol of the state's malaise.\n\nBihar, with a population of 90 million, witnessed 5,193 murders last year, up by 157 reported homicides over the previous year while 5,039 people were killed in non-political violence during 1994.\n\nThe state's 75,000-member police department deployed across 55 districts reported 2,603 robberies last year and 2,472 the previous. It also saw some 12,490 armed clashes during 1996 and 12,000 a year before.\n\nMaoist guerrillas killed 60 people last year while 73 others lost their lives and 88 were robbed on trains running across Bihar.\n\nOn Tuesday, fed up with rampant crime, some 5,000 Bihari students smashed through police barriers in the Indian capital to protest the daylight murder earlier this month of a prominent university leader in the state, allegedly by a politician from Yadav's party.\n\nMassive power breakdowns, annual droughts and floods have stunted industrial growth in Bihar, which accounts for a third of India's mineral deposits. It also has two of the country's biggest steel plants and is one of largest producer of fertiliser.\n\nThe Times editor Sengupta describes the situation in Bihar, where per capita income is one of the lowest in India, as \"paradoxical.\"\n\n\"The situation is complex here,\" he said.\n\nBihar is India's second largest grower of vegetables, third largest exporter of fruits and accounts for a large number of professionals settled in Europe and the United states.\n\n\"The situation appears bad because the population is so large and its density is very high.", "time_expressions": null,

during the coming year in the country's troubled Basque region following a start to dialogue with the armed separatist group ETA.\n\n\"The situation will be better in a year,\" said Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, reporting that negotiations were proceeding \"discreetly,\" despite the view of critics that the peace process is currently blocked.\n\nETA declared a permanent ceasefire last March after nearly four decades of bombings and shootings claiming more than 850 lives in pursuit of an independent Basque country.\n\nDespite recent incidents the situation had now improved, Zapatero assured a press conference.\n\n\"It's better with a permanent ceasefire than when bombs go off as was happening a year ago,\" the Socialist prime minister commented.\n\n\"It's also better than four or five years ago when we had tragic lethal attacks.\"\n\nETA's last killing was in May 2003.\n\nBut many observers are sceptical about whether ETA really wants to negotiate an end to violence.\n\nDoubts have been prompted by various developments including an arms theft in neighbouring France for which ETA was held responsible, discovery of an arms cache in the Basque country in northern Spain, and a return to street violence in the province.\n\nZapatero declined to comment on these developments or to confirm there had been a first official meeting this month between ETA and representatives of Spain's national government.\n\nHowever, the prime minister said the banned separatist Basque political party Batasuna might be allowed to stand again in the next Basque regional elections if it showed respect for rule of law and distanced itself from violence.\n\nSpain's main political opposition, the right-wing Popular Party, takes a harder line, saying Batasuna, seen as the political wing of ETA, should not be allowed to stand in local and regional elections until it expressly renounces violence.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "predicted", "start_char": 162,

Thursday for an \"arc of prosperity\" with fellow democracy Japan but pressed Asia's largest economy to invest more and support nuclear cooperation.\n\nSingh is the first Indian premier in five years to visit Japan, whose conservative government has made improving ties with New Delhi a top priority to balance frequent friction with a rising China.\n\n\"Strong ties between India and Japan will be a major factor in building an open and inclusive Asia and in enhancing peace and stability in the region,\" Singh said in an address to a joint session of the Japanese parliament.\n\n\"Our partnership has the potential to create an arc of advantage and prosperity across Asia, laying the foundation for the creation of an Asian economic community.\"\n\nJapan's ties with communist China remain strained by the legacy of its atrocities in the 1930s and 1940s, when it invaded neighboring countries in the name of creating a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.\n\nBut both Singh and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, with whom he will hold talks Friday, have been trying to repair relations with China. And India, despite warming ties with the US, has long called for a \"multipolar\" world.\n\nSingh is seeking Japan's blessing for a controversial India-US pact that allows civilian nuclear cooperation even though New Delhi has developed nuclear weapons.\n\nIn an aside from his prepared text, Singh told lawmakers that India's commitment to stopping the spread of nuclear weapons was \"unshakable\" even though it refuses to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty.\n\nThe support of Japan, the only nation to be attacked by atomic weapons, could open the door for international nuclear cooperation with India and counter Singh's critics, who say he has conceded too much to Washington.\n\nBut Yohei Kono, the speaker of the lower house, offered a gentle rebuke as he welcomed Singh to the podium.\n\nHe thanked the Indian parliament for offering an annual silent prayer to victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and added: \"Again we call on your country to mutually cooperate to abolish nuclear weapons.\"\n\nDespite Japanese conservatives' bid to ally with New Delhi to balance Beijing, Singh did not mention China by name in his address -- other than to point out disapprovingly that it conducted more trade with India than Japan did.\n\n\"Economic ties must be the bedrock of our relationship and a strong push is required in this area. Our trade and investment ties are well below potential,\" said Singh, who is accompanied by a high-level business delegation.\n\nIndia in 2004 replaced China as the top destination for Japan's low-interest loans, a key tool of Tokyo's diplomacy and sign of its political intentions.\n\nBut investment has not followed. Japan invested 170 million dollars in India last year, less than three percent of the amount it invested in China, according to official Japanese figures.\n\nJapan had shown initial enthusiasm when India ended five decades of rigid protectionism in 1991. Singh, who as finance minister fathered the reforms, secured Japanese loans to end a balance-of-payments crisis.\n\n\"I return to Japan as the prime minister of a new India,\" Singh said, pointing to India's breakneck macroeconomic growth.\n\nIn talks with ministers Thursday, Singh sought Japanese financing for a proposed 2,800 kilometer (1,700 mile) high-speed freight railway seen as vital to improving India's creaky infrastructure.\n\nJapan will look at the proposal once details are set, Finance Minister Koji Omi told him.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

change\n\n\n\n\nAfrican countries need funds, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and technology transfer to combat climate change, Kivutha Kibwana, president-designate of the UN Climate Change Conference has said.\n\nAfrican countries are the least emitters in the world whose emission only accounts for about 3 or 4 percent of the world's total. \"They are impacted quite significantly by the climate change. Therefore they are frustrated that in this process they are not able to mobilize the funds that are required for particular adaptation.\" Kibwana said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua.\n\nOne of the most important issues in this meeting is what people are going to do regarding the adaptation to climate change. It should be made sure that the fund is substantial, said Kibwana, who is also Kenya's minister for Environment and Natural Resources.\n\n\"We think that in Nairobi, those positions are required to be taken so the least developed countries and African countries can all feel that they are being supported to deal with the challenge of climate change,\" Kibwana said.\n\nThere are three funds established under Climate Change Convention and Kyoto Protocol to help developing countries. In them, the Adaptation Fund, which will be discussed in the Nairobi meeting to reach political agreement on how to be managed, is designated to finance practical adaptation projects and programs in developing countries and support capacity-building activities.\n\nKibwana also said that Africa emphasizes an equitable distribution of CDM projects . Part of the debates at the conference is on how to ensure the capacity of African and poor countries to develop CDM projects which permit industrialized countries to generate emission credits through investments in sustainable development projects which reduce emissions in developing countries.\n\nIn addition, Kibwana called for technology transfer to African countries which will help them to deal with the effects of climate change.\n\nAs the developed countries are discussing about the future while African and poor nations are concerned about immediate effects of climate change, the challenge of the meeting is to come up with a win-win situation for all blocks, the president said.\n\n\"According to a report from Britain, it is clear that the climate change is an extremely serious matter. We can not postpone on how to deal with it because the cost for not dealing with it today is so high in the future. And that is why it is my hope that this meeting is going to come up with concrete solutions,\" Kibwana said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "transfer", "start_char": 207,

"AFP_ENG_20051211.0463\n\nSAN FRANCISCO, Dec 11 , 2005\n\nATTENTION - ADDS details, quote ///\n\n\n\n\nCalifornia Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was expected to decide on Monday whether to spare ex-gang leader Stanley \"Tookie\" Williams, whose death sentence is to be executed early Tuesday.\n\nWilliams, whose case has prompted an international campaign for clemency, faces the death penalty for murdering four people unless the governor intervenes before Tuesday.\n\nHollywood celebrities, including Jamie Foxx and Danny Glover, African-American leaders and opponents of the death penalty have championed Williams' case, citing his work against gang violence.\n\nThe governor is the only man who can halt the death of Williams, who has been on death row for two decades and who is sentenced to die by lethal injection at 00:01 (0801 GMT) Tuesday.\n\nThe \"Terminator\" movie star turned politician heard final arguments on Thursday from prosecutors and defense lawyers, who had 30 minutes each to make their cases in a private hearing at the governor's office in Sacramento.\n\nSchwarzenegger's office said no decision on the case was expected on Sunday, but was likely to be announced on Monday.\n\nWilliams, 51, has insisted he is innocent of the murders but has renounced his gangster past, writing several children's books.\n\nHis lawyers argued that he has had a change of heart displayed by his work to turn others against gang violence and asked for his death sentence to be commuted to life in prison without parole.\n\nThe founder of the notorious Crips gang in Los Angeles who has appealed to youth to avoid gangs has been nominated several times for the Nobel Peace Prize.\n\nThe prosecutor who secured Williams' conviction in 1981, Robert Martin, said on US television Sunday that the former gang leader did not deserve clemency because he had failed to show remorse for the shotgun murders of four people during two robberies.\n\n\"If he does not take responsibility for the four brutal murders that he committed, he can't begin to be rehabilitated, and we can't say that there's a moral equivalency between four brutal murders and co-authoring some children's books,\" Martin told on \"Fox News on Sunday.\"\n\n\"I think society is not going to accept that,\" he said.\n\nSchwarzenegger said last week that the decision he faced was \"very tough\".\n\nDecisions on whether to spare convicted killers such as Williams from execution \"are very heavy responsibilities,\" the one-time champion body builder said.\n\nThe first-term governor has refused clemency appeals in two other death row cases.\n\nCalifornia's highest court last month rejected a request to take a new look at evidence that put Williams on death row.\n\nThe defense team for Williams says it has received \"tens of thousands\" of letters and e-mails contending that Williams' anti-gang message is reaching city streets and juvenile detention facilities.",

Dec 18 , 2006, 2006\n\nATTENTION - UPDATES kidnap details, ADDS prison escape ///\n\n\n\n\nIraqi Red Crescent aid workers suspended work in war-torn Baghdad on Monday after two dozen of their colleagues fell victim to the latest mass kidnap to shock a city plagued by sectarian violence.\n\nAt least 14 Iraqis were killed in a string of bombings and shootings as new US Defence Secretary Robert Gates prepared to take office in Washington amid deepening US divisions about how to handle the crisis in Iraq.\n\nA former Iraqi cabinet minister, an Iraqi-US dual national who was jailed for corruption, staged an escape from jail in Baghdad's highly fortified Green Zone, in a further sign of the rampant chaos engulfing the country.\n\n\"We have frozen or stopped temporarily activities in Baghdad, but this is not affecting civilian needs. This was logical because our main staff is still kidnapped,\" the Iraqi Red Crescent's secretary general Mazen Abdallah said.\n\n\"We are the only organisation working in all of Iraq. We don't want to stop,\" he added, emphasising that the closure applied only to the capital.\n\nIn addition to the main branch targeted in the kidnapping, the Iraqi Red Crescent has closed another 40 subsidiary offices in Baghdad, affecting more than 600 staff, a large proportion of them security guards, Abdallah said.\n\nSeventeen of more than 30 men snatched in Sunday's brazen raid by gunmen dressed in police uniforms have been released, including three guards from the nearby Dutch embassy and 10 Red Crescent guards and drivers, Abdallah added.\n\nBut 19 Red Crescent staff -- a mixed group of Shiite and Sunni disaster, relief and health workers -- are still missing following what was the second mass abduction to terrorise Baghdad in less than a week.\n\nThe International Committee of the Red Cross, part of the same movement, has called for the immediate and unconditional release of the hostages, and condemned the kidnapping as a breach of international humanitarian law.\n\nFully aware of the ugly sectarian tensions threatening to rip Iraq apart, Abdallah said he ordered his staff not to reveal their family names while at work, in order not to disclose their religious or ethnic background.\n\nWith US experts and politicians increasingly anxious over how to manage the chaos in Iraq, where around 129,000 US troops are fighting insurgents and training local forces, a new defence secretary was to take office.\n\nGates, a former Central Intelligence Agency director, was to be sworn in at the Pentagon just three days after his predecessor Donald Rumsfeld, blamed for the current mess in Iraq, was given a full honours send-off.\n\nHis arrival precedes the announcement of a new policy on Iraq set to be unveiled by US President George W. Bush early next year -- a new strategy that Gates is likely to be involved in shaping.\n\nOptions under consideration reportedly include boosting the number of US soldiers by between 20,000 and 50,000 to secure Baghdad, forging an alliance between moderate Iraqi Shiites and Sunnis at the expense of radicals on both sides, or even throwing the US lot in with the majority Shiites.\n\nBush has effectively dismissed a report by the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan panel of foreign policy luminaries, which recommended wrapping up US combat operations in the country by early 2008.\n\nMeanwhile, the violence continues unchecked.\n\nIn Baghdad, five people were killed and 19 wounded Monday when a car bomb exploded in a bustling marketplace in the mixed Shiite-Sunni neighbourhood of Saidiyah, a security source said.\n\nThree other people were killed in separate attacks and Iraq's disgraced former electricity minister Ayham al-Samarrai escaped from a jail under joint Iraqi-US guard in Baghdad, two months after he was jailed for corruption.\n\nFive more civilians were killed in the Baquba area, north of Baghdad, with one attack targeting mourners accompanying bodies to the Shiite south of the capital for burial, police and medical sources said.\n\nIn the northern city of Mosul, unidentified gunmen ambushed and shot dead Khayreddin al-Dabbagh, a member of the municipal council, police said.\n\nThe US military also announced that two more troops were killed in action, bringing the number of US fatalities in Iraq since the 2003 invasion to 2,946, according to an AFP count based on Pentagon figures.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "suspended", "start_char": 147, "end_char": 156, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "ASPECTUAL", "pos": "VERB",

The International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, assessed Sudan dyes as Group 3 genotoxic carcinogens.\n\nLast year, the ministry reiterated the ban on production, sales and use of Sudan dyes in food, after it was found in some brands of pepper sauce, chili oil and fast food giant KFC's New Orleans roast chicken wings.\n\nIt was also found by the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency in February 2005 in a batch of chili powder sold by Premier Foods, one of the country's largest food and beverage companies.\n\nChinese red-yolk salted duck eggs are commonly thought to be more nutritious than yellow-yolk eggs and so are usually more expensive.\n\nAn investigation showed farmers in Hebei bought a \"red drug\" from a trader and used it in duck feed to make the ducks produce red-yolk eggs.\n\nThe contamination was first disclosed in a weekly quality report program on China Central Television. The Beijing authorities immediately banned the sales of red-yolk eggs from Hebei and advised consumers to return them.\n\nThe General Administration of Quality Supervision has launched nationwide inspections of egg products and poultry meat.\n\nBeijing officials have seized at least 1,159 kilograms of red-yolk eggs, and the eggs have been banned in markets in Chengdu in Sichuan Province and

match\n\n\n\n\nIndia will have the benefit of playing on one of the best batting pitches in South Africa as they warm up for a Test series against the host nation - but they will also have to deal with another battery of fast bowlers.\n\nThe Rest of South Africa team which faces the Indians in a four-day match starting Thursday includes Mornantau Hayward, one of the fastest bowlers in the country, and Morne Morkel, a rising star who has been tipped for Test honours soon, as well as Garnett Kruger, who has been on the fringes of the national squad for the past two seasons.\n\nThe Indians go into the warm-up match low on confidence after being beaten 4-0 in a one-day series during which they failed to deal competently with the South African fast bowlers.\n\nHayward, 29, played in 16 Tests up until 2004. He fell out with the country's administrators early in 2003 when it was revealed, while he was playing in a Test against Pakistan, that he had signed a contract with English county Worcestershire which gave the county first call on his services, ahead of his country.\n\nOne of South Africa's more volatile cricketers, Hayward has been in good form for the Warriors franchise team this season and the Indians can expect to deal with plenty of fast, short-pitched bowling from him.\n\nMorkel, 22, is the taller and younger brother of Albie Morkel, who played for South Africa in a Twenty20 international in Johannesburg last Friday.\n\nWhereas Albie Morkel has become known for his big-hitting feats, Morne is an out-and-out fast bowler, who has been one of the most impressive performers in franchise cricket since being promoted to the Titans team midway through the domestic one-day competition this season.\n\nKruger, 29, toured Australia with the South African team last season without playing in a Test match and has been a consistent wicket-taker at domestic level.\n\nProvided they can weather the first bursts of the fast men, it could be ideal preparation for the tourists, who play the first of three Tests against South Africa in Johannesburg from December 15 to 19.\n\nThe pitch at Potchefstroom consistently yields high scores and will be a chance for the Indian batsmen to play themselves into form.\n\nThe Indians have been strengthened by the inclusion of experienced batsmen VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly in their Test squad. They will join Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and the currently injured captain Rahul Dravid to form a potentially solid core of batting for the series.\n\nTeams:\n\nRest of South Africa: Jacques Rudolph (captain), Alviro Petersen, Morne van Wyk, Jean Paul Duminy, Vaughn van Jaarsveld, Justin Kemp, Vernon Philander, Paul Adams, Morne Morkel, Garnett Kruger, Mornantau Hayward.\n\nIndians

of official studies by the Roman Catholic Church on the Turin shroud, a strip of cloth traditionally held to have wrapped the body of Christ after his crucifixion, are not definitive, the archbishop of Turin announced here Thursday.\n\nAn official commission appointed by the Vatican in 1988 carbon-dated \"with a 95-percent reliability rate\" the cloth to between 1260 and 1390.\n\nDuring a press conference about two exhibitions on the shroud which will take place in 1998 and 2000, Cardinal Giovanni Saldarini, the Vatican's official guardian of the shroud, said fresh scientific studies could be carried out.\n\nHowever, he added, such studies \"are not planned for the moment.\"\n\nThe exhibitions will be for exclusively religious ends, the cardinal said, and do not imply the Church had taken a \"position on the scientific discussions on the authenticity of this historic, unique and prestigious artifact evoking the death of Christ on the cross.\"\n\nThe 4.4-metre (14.5-foot) by 1.1-metre (3.3-foot) shroud was saved at the last minute on April 12 when a blaze ravaged the chapel in Turin cathedral where it is normally housed. It had been transferred to another part of the cathedral earlier while restoration work was underway in the chapel.\n\nThree sections of one centimetre (0.4 inch) by seven centimetres (2.8 inches) each had been cut from the cloth for the carbon-testing by British, Swiss and US laboratories.\n\nAccording to another Vatican study of the Shroud by specialist Giulio Ricci, the man who was held in the cloth measured 1.62 metres (five foot four inches).\n\nIt is currently being held in a secret location.\n\nThe last time the Shroud was shown, in 1978, more than three million pilgrims made the trip to Turin to view it.\n\nA negative imprint on the cloth suggesting a face and body bearing wounds was worshipped to be that of Christ.\n\nFirst reports of the Shroud go back to the seventh century in Jerusalem. It was transferred to Constantinople where it was put on show every Friday until the 12th century.\n\nThe relic disappeared during the fourth Crusades between 1202 and 1204, carried off, according to legend, by crusading knight Geoffroy de Charny, after the fall of Constantinople.\n\nIt is believed the current Shroud is not the one that disappeared from Constantinople.\n\nWithout taking a stand, the Church nevertheless holds the cloth is valuable for the feeling it produces among the faithful.\n\n\"This unique and unsettling image continues to call to all people as a gift made by God to the conscience of all those who want to reflect on the mysteries of God's love,\" Saldarini said.\n\nHe added that while it was \"completely understandable to want to know if this shroud really held Jesus after his death, it is necessary to note that the Shroud is not in any way Jesus, but only a sign which speaks to us of what he did for us.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

"AFP_ENG_20051206.0149\n\nTEHRAN, Dec 6 , 2005\n\nlevel ///\n\n\n\n\nSchools in the Iranian capital were shut down and the sick or elderly told to lock themselves indoors Tuesday as the city continued to choke on a thick blanket of yellow-brown smog.\n\nTehran's Air Quality Control Unit said the Pollutant Standard Index (PSI) -- a standard measurement incorporating carbon monoxide, dust and other pollutants -- has hovered around the \"very unhealthy\" level of 160 for several days.\n\nSuch alerts are becoming increasing common, with increased traffic causing the sprawling city's air to be deemed unhealthy for at least 100 days of the year. This week the situation is worse due to a total lack of wind.\n\n\"But you cannot just blame nature,\" Elmira Parto, a Tehran pollution official, told AFP. \"It is the cars that are the problem.\"\n\nMany of the two million plus vehicles in the city of 10 million are more than 20 years old and consume cheap subsidised petrol at an alarming rate. Private car ownership has also exploded, with the public transport system failing to provide adequate coverage.\n\nThe government has proposed various steps to resolve the problem, such as phasing out the old cars and restricting vehicle use on certain days of the week -- but so far none have been effectively applied.\n\n\"There's a huge demand for pain killers and anti-histamines at the moment. People are suffering from chronic headaches, allergies and nose irritation,\" said Mahsa Vosouqi, a local pharmacist.\n\nAnti-asthmatic inhalers and face masks, manufactured locally and on open sale in most chemists, have also been selling out.\n\nAnd Tehran's Darabad hospital, which specialises in respiratory ailments, said the number of visiting outpatients has tripled in recent days.\n\nAccording to a recent study, each resident of Tehran -- now considered one of the world's most polluted cities -- inhales an estimated 7.1 to 9.3 kilograms (15.6 to 20.5 pounds) of dust every year.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "shut", "start_char": 95, "end_char": 99, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "VERB", "tense": "PAST", "aspect":

It was overcast in the morning, but rain started falling just before the toss at 2 p.m. (1200 GMT), and the covers were brought on.\n\nThe main covers came on and off several times during the afternoon because of the rain. At 6.30 p.m. (1630 GMT), it was announced that the match had officially been called off.\n\nThe opening match had not been without its problems. Originally scheduled as a day match, the organizers had to change it to a day-night affair because of the Pick'n Pay 94.7 Cycle Challenge, which took place earlier in the day.\n\nSeveral major roads in Johannesburg were closed for the cycle race, in which 28,000 cyclists took part, and access to the Wanderers would have been difficult.\n\nThe next match is a day-night match at Kingsmead in Durban

are owed. \nIn addition, they will receive stock in the reorganized company, which will be named Ranger Industries Inc. \nAfter these payments, about $225,000 will be available for the 20 million common shares outstanding. \n\n The Avon, Conn., company's stock hit a high in 1983 after it unveiled its Adam home computer, but the product was plagued with glitches and the company's fortunes plunged. \nBut Coleco bounced back with the introduction of the Cabbage Patch dolls, whose sales hit $600 million in 1985. \nBut as the craze died, Coleco failed to come up with another winner and filed for bankruptcy-law protection in July 1988. \n\n The plan was filed jointly with unsecured creditors in federal bankruptcy court in New York and must be approved by the court.",

split golds at weightlifting worlds\n\n\n\n\nChina and Russia split the two gold medals on offer as Liu Chunhong and Zarema Kasaeva won the women's 75kg and 69kg category respectively at the World Weightlifting Championships here on Sunday.\n\nEuropean champion Zarema Kasaeva beat Liu Haixia of China to win the women's 69kg category while breaking the world record of the jerk.\n\nOlympic champion Liu Chunhong, shifting from 69kg to 75kg after the Games, confirmed her supremacy as she beat strong challenge from Russian weightlifters to win the gold medal with a world-record-breaking result at 285kg.\n\nEuropean Champion Natalia Zabolotnaya of Russia and her compatriot Svetlana Podobedova challenged Liu from the very beginning of the competition, but the 20-year-old strongwoman showed her calmness to hoist 126kg in the snatch, 4kg less than Podobedova's and jerked 159kg, 4kg more than the Russians.\n\nBoth having a total result of 285kg, Liu won the gold medal due to the body weight advantage.\n\n\"My right shoulder was injured in the training last month. I just told myself to go all out in competing with Russian girls,\" Liu said.\n\n\"I did not feel nervous when they challenged me, but I did feel the pressure having arrived here. I competed in the National Games in October, and I was tired after that competition. I was afraid that I would not have a good result here,\"she added.\n\nLiu also smashed the jerk world records and levelled the world record with a total of 285kg, which was made by Podobedova in her sixth attempt Sunday.\n\nZabolotnaya, at the same age with Liu, beat the world record of snatch twice, with her last attempt in the snatch reaching 130kg.\n\nSvetlana Podobedova followed Zabolotnaya at 279kg for the bronze.\n\nIn the women's 69kg competition, the 17-year-old Kasaeva, who lifted 265kg at European Championships, did not took the lead in the snatch as she hoisted 118kg, 2kg less than the 25-year-old strongwoman Liu Haixia.\n\nKasaeva pulled herself under her 157kg world record clean and jerk, for a junior and a senior world record in the last attempt, 3kg more than Liu Haixia's final lift, thus claiming the first gold medal with a total result of 275kg for Russia at the worlds.\n\n\"I trained quite hard this year, so I succeeded,\" Zarema Kasaeva said after the match.\n\nLiu Haixia followed Kasaeva with a total result of 274kg for the silver medal, with Olga Kiseleva of Russia, the silver medalist European Championships, finishing third.\n\n\"I have done my best, the result was 9kg more than the weight I lifted in the National Games in October,\" Liu Haixia said.\n\nLiu's coach Ma Wenhui said that they are going to learn from the Russian weightlifters in this category.\n\n\"Russian girls will become a huge threat to China in this category in the Bejing Olympics,\" Ma said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "split",

residential compounds\n\n\n\n\nChinese Ministry of Culture on Sunday reiterated regulations on entertainment places, noting that new entertainment places can not be set up in residential compounds or historical buildings.\n\nDuring the enforcement of regulations on the administration of entertainment places, which took effect in March, several problems have emerged and need to be clarified, an official with the ministry told Xinhua.\n\nNewly-approved entertainment places can not be established in residential compounds, museums, libraries or historical buildings under cultural relics protection, said the official, quoting a guideline recently issued by the ministry on enforcing the regulations.\n\nSuch places are also banned in crowded places such as railway stations and airports, or inside or near schools, hospitals and government departments. They can only be set up on the ground floor or the first floor underground.\n\nThe guideline also sets minimum coverage of area for new KTVs and dancing places, which is 200 square meters with each compartment of eight square meters.\n\nThe establishment of any entertainment places must be known by the public and go through public hearings. Representatives from nearby residential committees or schools, hospitals, government departments and stores of dangerous chemicals should be informed to attend the hearings.\n\nAdministrators of entertainment places would be punished if they failed to set up archives for their staff or keep business notes, or they are found to have been involved in illegal activities, noted the official.\n\nApart from the guideline, in the regulations issued by the State Council, civil servants are prohibited from running or getting involved in the management of entertainment places.\n\nIt also bans electronic gaming facilities possessing gamble functions in entertainment places, and the use of pirated audio and video products.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

2006\n\nunconstitutional\n\n\n\n\nNigerian vice president Atiku Abubakar's new party, the Action Congress (AC), Sunday slammed President Olusegun Obasanjo's declaration that his former deputy's office was now vacant as \"unconstititional\".\n\nObasanjo on Saturday declared vacant the office of his embattled deputy after he defected to the rival opposition AC party ahead of the April 2007 elections.\n\nPresidential spokesman Uba Sani told reporters in Abuja Saturday that the decision had been taken in response to Abubakar's defection early last week.\n\nThe vice president was expelled from the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday after he defected to the AC and was chosen as its presidential candidate for the 2007 elections.\n\nIn its reaction on Sunday, the AC described as \"unconstitutional, null and void\" the declaration that Abubakar's seat had become vacant because he dumped the ruling party.\n\n\"Just when we thought this lawless party and its visionless leaders have reached rock bottom in their acts of brigandage, they over-reached themselves by perpetrating the mother of all illegalities,\" it said in a statement.\n\nSaturday, Abubakar said that he would challenge \"this illegality in a competent court of law and I have also begun wide consultation with stakeholders in the nation to halt this sad and regrettable slide to tyranny and lawlessness\".\n\nHowever, the PDP had earlier cited constitutional rules stating that the vice-president must belong to the same party as the president.\n\nThe PDP had already suspended Abubakar last September after he was indicted on corruption charges by the country's anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.\n\nMajor local newspapers on Sunday, reported on their front pages, Abubakar's sacking and the alleged invasion of his home by security agents who carted away his official cars.\n\nThe Sunday Punch newspaper also reported that Abubakar, currently on a two-week vacation in the United States, might be arrested on his return to face corruption charges.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "slammed", "start_char": 157, "end_char": 164,

Kong's future leader Tung Chee-hwa, who hopes to ban political donations from abroad, admitted Friday he had made \"modest\" contributions in the past to Britain's ruling Conservative Party.\n\nTung's comments came amid a growing row with the democratic lobby over his plans to tighten human rights law, including banning donations from foreign individuals and political organisations.\n\nHe has argued that such a move would prevent outside influence on local politicians.\n\n\"As a person I have in the past made modest donations to the Conservative Party, that's well known to everyone,\" Tung told reporters Friday.\n\n\"As a result of that I am particularly sensitive that this should not happen in Hong Kong.\"\n\nTung's comments were rounded on by local legislators.\n\n\"It looks like a question of 'do as I say, not as I do,\" said independent legislator Emily Lau.\n\n\"Everyone understands that this is a sensitive matter. I think the overriding concern is that we should not make drastic changes... there is no public outcry for such drastic changes.\"\n\n\"He does it and now he wants to ban people from doing it\".\n\n\"What a laugh,\" said fellow legislator Christine Loh on hearing the news.\n\n\"Why did he give it? In order to influence the British Government?\"\n\nAt the time of his donations Tung held a British National Overseas passport, which he has since rescinded.\n\nHis proposed law changes do not cover political donations from Hong Kong residents to parties overseas.\n\nTung was granted a Chinese passport by Beijing in January, shortly after he was confirmed as Chief Executive-designate. He will take over as Hong Kong's leader from Governor Chris Patten, a former Conservative MP, on July 1 when China assumes sovereignty of Hong Kong from Britain.", "time_expressions": null,

Fabregas' shot but Rovers reacted strongly with Craig Bellamy a constant threat.\n\nHenry made it 2-0 just before half-time as Arsenal looked comfortably on top.\n\nBellamy and David Thompson went close with headers as Rovers refused to give up, before Robin van Persie's stunning late effort wrapped up the points.\n\nArsenal led after four minutes when Fabregas was left unmarked to curl a low shot into the bottom corner from outside the box.\n\nBut any thoughts that this would herald a stroll for Arsenal proved unfounded as Rovers responded positively.\n\nThe combination of Shefki Kuqi's physical presence and Morten Gamst Pedersen's deft footwork kept Sol Campbell and Pascal Cygan on their toes.\n\nRovers' best early chance came when Lucas Neill's long ball bisected Campbell and Kolo Toure, but Bellamy had to stretch just that bit too far and his lob was off target.\n\nIn the dying moments of the half Henry created another piece of history, clocking up his Highbury century when he stroked home Pires' through-ball.\n\nShortly after the restart Kuqi and Steven Reid both went close for Rovers, and Bellamy's header inches wide gave Arsenal another scare.\n\nBut just when the home

moderate recovery for battered Asian electronics exports\n\n\n\n\nGlobal demand for high-technology electronics products should make a moderate recovery in 1997 but the boom years of the early 1990s are unlikely to return, the Philippines-based Asian Development Bank (ADB) said Thursday.\n\nThe ADB's annual Asian Development Outlook report said the upturn would be good news for Asia, whose export success in the sector helped establish \"from virtually nothing\" the world's newest economic miracles.\n\n\"In the short term, Asia's electronics producers will face a demand upturn following inventory adjustment,\" it said.\n\n\"However, growth is likely to be moderate in the absence of new watershed innovations of the magnitude of the compact-disc player or the PC.\"\n\nThis means the industry \"is unlikely to return to its pre-1996 boom years, but with continuing growth in the global economy, demand and supply should come into line with each other and the basis for profitable business should be restored.\"\n\n\"New products like digital video discs may spark a renewed boom and the range of uses of electronic components is continually widening, which will make the industry less dependent on the PC,\" the report said.\n\nThe bank said the slump in world electronics trade last year, particularly the sharp decline in semiconductor prices, took their heaviest toll in Asia.\n\nThe \"biggest losers\" were South Korea, Malaysia, where a third of the world's microprocessor production is tested and packaged, Singapore, which makes 40 percent of the world's disk drives, and Taiwan, which makes eight out of 10 circuit boards and half of all keyboards.\n\nThe fall was caused by the interplay of a maturing PC market, a shift toward fewer end-product producers and the fast expansion of production capacity, it said.\n\nThe second factor means \"many input producers now compete to supply standardized products, rendering the market for inputs subject to instability similar to that of primary commodity markets,\" it added.\n\nThe ADB said the growth of the Internet and the resulting demand for faster processors and network access \"will support continuing PC sales, even if there is a decline in new customers.\"\n\nHowever, it said Intel Corp.'s launch this year of its MMX chip \"may mean the market will be left with large quantities of discounted-price Pentium machines.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "make", "start_char": 191, "end_char": 195, "eid": "e2", "eiid": "ei2", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "VERB", "tense":

billion Singapore dollars (1.4 billion US) in funds, the Straits Times reported Monday.\n\nGE Life chief executive Tan Beng Lee told the newspaper that the new firm, Straits Lion Asset Management, will initially handle GE Life's own funds but would expand its activities later after establishing a track record.\n\n\"Subsequently, we would consider the management of third-party funds,\" Tan said.\n\nThe new company is to be 90-percent owned by GE Life and the rest by Straits Trading Co., a sister company under the Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. group. Both are listed on the mainboard of the Stock Exchange of Singapore.\n\nThe move is part of GE Life's efforts to find better returns from its growing assets amid pressure on the Singapore insurance industry from declining investment income and low interest rates, the newspaper said.\n\nGE Life's funds are currently being managed in-house.\n\n\"Straits Lion will provide a more active and focused platform in managing our funds,\" Tan was quoted as saying.\n\nGE Life, with about 500,000 policyholders in a nation of three million, had an asset base of 9.5 billion dollars in 1996, up from only four billion dollars in 1992.\n\nThe report said that under insurance laws, life insurers can invest no more than 35 percent of their assets in equities, 20 percent in property, 20 percent in foreign

there was no default note-taking app for Android. It was a glaring hole, considering that Apple's iPhone has built-in Notes and Reminders apps that can be powered by Siri.\n\nInstead of settling for a bare bones app to fill the void, the search giant took things one step further. Keep isn't simply just a place to bank whatever random half-thoughts come to mind: Users can construct to-do lists, stash photos, and color code your notes -- all in one well-designed and easy-to-use interface.\n\nThe second you log anything into your phone, it is also accessible from a PC Web browser via Google Drive. Alternatively, you can save things while working on your computer, and it will instantly appear on your phone, ready for use while on the go.\n\nThe design may not be as progressive as the to-do app Clear, but Keep makes up for that in its simplicity and efficiency.\n\nEverything in Keep is presented like a Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500) Windows Phone-esque stream of tiles. Swiping left or right will archive those notes you no longer need (but don't want to erase entirely). At the top of the app is a text entry field that serves as your main point of entry for all new notes. And when viewing any specific note, tapping any part of that note (title, body, etc.) will allow you to edit it. The entire experience is frictionless.\n\nThat said, it's not going to conquer the world quite yet. Organization options are limited -- color coding is your only choice, and you can't re-order your notes. Sharing with others is mostly limited to email and Google+, and the desktop features are pretty bare bones.\n\nBut that's more a function of it being new, rather than poorly thought out. Like most things Google, expect the company to flesh out Keep over time and really turn it into our personal internet junk drawer.\n\nIt's easy to foresee the day the when users will be able to send anything from their Web browser or Maps directly to Keep. The prospect of Keep incorporating features of services such as Pinterest or Pocket, or even making it easy to catalog streaming media, could turn it into something big. That should scare Evernote.\n\nKeep is not the reinvention of the wheel in any aspect -- there are a plethora of third-party apps already available for Android. But it is a well-exectuted refinement.\n\nIn filling a minor, but important gap in its mobile ecosystem, Google gives the competition one less claim of superiority over Android.", "time_expressions":

April 25 , 1997 (AFP)\n\nPhilippine government, Moslem rebel truce talks stall\n\n\n\n\nCeasefire talks between Moslem guerrillas and the Philippine government have stalled here with both sides agreeing to meet again next month, officials said Friday.\n\nThe two-day talks which ended Thursday are aimed at forging a truce with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the country's last remaining major Moslem guerrilla group, to allow negotiations on a political settlement to the civil war to begin.\n\nThe two sides scrapped a scheduled news conference Friday after failing to agree on the wording of a joint communique, but agreed to meet again at a Roman Catholic university here on May 13-14 to try to break the impasse.\n\nThe MILF, founded in 1978 and which commands around 10,000 guerrillas, wants a ceasefire agreement in place throughout the country's south, known as the Mindanao region, with its forces being allowed to maintain their current positions.\n\nBefore any Mindanao-wide truce, the government first wants to put to paper a three-month-old informal truce around the guerrilla stronghold of Buldon, where 4,000 Army units and an equal number of MILF guerrillas are locked in a standoff that has claimed around 60 lives this year.\n\n\"We failed to reach further understanding on the positioning of troops in Buldon but we will discuss it further,\" the chief ceasefire negotiator for the government, Major General Joselin Nazareno, told AFP.\n\nThe two sides discussed a \"repositioning of forces\" in Buldon, \"and it was there unfortunately, (that) we failed to reach any agreement.\"\n\nThe rebel panel's legal counsel, Lanang Ali, confirmed the impasse, saying: \"We could not agree on the specific (disposition) of our forces in Buldon. We wanted one thing, the (government panel) wanted another thing. Even on compromise, we failed to agree.\"\n\nAs negotiators prepared for this week's talks, an Army spokesman said an MILF unit ambushed a military-escorted crew of a road construction project near the town of Aliosan on Monday, killing one soldier and wounding another.\n\nThe attack forced around 2,000 villagers to flee, Captain Noel Detoyato told AFP.\n\nThe military deployed a Marine battalion and a \"Rapid Deployment Force\" of the Army in the area on Wednesday, he added.\n\nThe MILF is a splinter of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), which last year signed a peace treaty with the government to end a 24-year guerrilla campaign aimed at setting up a separate Moslem state in the country's south.\n\nThe MILF, which had refused to join the negotiations, was left out in the political settlement, which installed MNLF chief Nur Misuari as the chief overseer of development funds which the government pledged to pour into Mindanao.\n\nPresident Fidel Ramos' government believes a peace settlement with the MILF would solve rampant crime in Mindanao, perpetrated by rogue guerrilla units who kidnap local businessmen for ransom, and improve the region's attraction as an investment site.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "talks", "start_char": 137, "end_char": 142, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "NOUN", "tense":

victims\n\n\n\n\nThe International Rescue Committee (IRC) said here Saturday it airlifted essential supplies to flood-affected communities in Gode Zone of Somali State in response to the recent deadly flash flood in southeastern Ethiopia.\n\nAccording to a news release from IRC Ethiopia, 18 tons of cooking pots and plates, soap, and blankets were transported to Gode, some 650 km southeast of the capital Addis Ababa, via U.S. military air carrier early on Saturday.\n\nThe items will be distributed by the United Nations and other national and international NGOs working on the ground. IRC hopes to send an additional airlift of supplies in the following days.\n\n\"Gode Zone is completely cut off by road to the outside world because of the flooding,\" said IRC Country Director David Murphy.\n\n\"We hear reports that there are trucks loaded with emergency relief stranded in the surrounding areas but unable to get through. We're just lucky that we can airlift our emergency relief via the U.S. military.\"\n\nSixty-seven people have died and up to 217,000 people have been affected after the Wabe Shebelle river burst its banks after five days of heavy rain. It is not known how many people have been displaced by the latest flash flooding, which occurred ten days ago. It's feared the situation will be further exacerbated with continuing heavy rains.\n\n\"This region has already been hit hard. In mid-August, flooding in the same area killed four people and displaced approximately 56, 000,\" said Murphy. \"IRC will do everything it can to support this community.\"\n\nIRC's emergency intervention is supported by the U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance.\n\nThe IRC serves refugees and communities victimized by oppression and violent conflict worldwide through the provision of

cricket international between New Zealand and Sri Lanka came to an early end here Friday with play abandoned because of rain as the tourists mounted a fiery run charge.\n\nUnder the Duckworth-Lewis system, Sri Lanka won by 18 runs after New Zealand made 162 for eight and Sri Lanka were 62 for one after 5.5 overs when the heavy rain forced players from the field.\n\nAfter a rollicking start by Stephen Fleming and Brendon McCullum produced 80 runs in seven overs, New Zealand's batting faltered and they added just 82 runs in the remaining 13 overs.\n\nMan-of-the-match Sanath Jayasuriya led Sri Lanka's reply with a near-solo masterpiece, hitting a rapid 51 in 23 balls, including 10 fours and one six, to score all but 11 of Sri Lanka's 62 runs.\n\nNew Zealand's opening onslaught came to an end when Farveez Maharoof bowled Fleming for 38 with a slower ball.\n\nSpin twins Muttiah Muralitharan and Jayasuriya applied the pressure and the run rate slowed to a crawl.\n\nMuralitharan was hit for two sixes in his first three balls before McCullum mistimed a slog and was caught by Upul Tharanga at deep midwicket for 39.\n\nJames Franklin, sent in as a pinch hitter, was trapped leg before wicket by Jayasuriya for 18, and Ross Taylor went lbw to Muralitharan for 21.\n\nJames Marshall lasted four balls and made one run before before being caught by a leaping Chamara Silva at midwicket for Jayasuriya's second wicket.\n\nNew Zealand turned to the veteran Nathan Astle to arrest the middle order collapse but he was bowled by Jayasuriya for 19.\n\nWith New Zealand finding runs hard to come by and wickets falling regularly, Silva was called on to bowl and he removed debutant wicketkeeper Peter McGlashan for five.\n\nShane Bond was back in the pavilion soon after, bowled by Chaminda Vaas without scoring.\n\nJayasuriya finished with figures of four for 21 from four overs, while Muralitharan took two for 27.\n\nThe only wicket to fall in Sri Lanka's run chase was that of Tharanga, who was caught by Fleming off the bowling of Bond for six.\n\nThe second and final Twenty20 match is at Auckland on December 26 and the first of the five one-day internationals is at Napier on December 28.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "came", "start_char": 176, "end_char": 180, "eid": "e2", "eiid": "ei2", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "VERB", "tense": "PAST",

Dec 19 , 2006, 2006\n\nATTENTION - ADDS details, quotes, background ///\n\n\n\n\nKyrgyzstan's Prime Minister Felix Kulov and the entire government of the Central Asian republic tendered their resignation Tuesday in line with a new constitution that requires formation of a fresh cabinet.\n\n\"Today, I tendered my resignation to the president,\" Kulov said in a national radio interview. \"In that way we want to set the conditions for the full-blooded work of the new constitution.\"\n\nThe constitution was signed November 9, significantly reducing the powers of President Kurmanbek Bakiyev. Under the new basic law, parliament, not the president will appoint the next premier and government.\n\nKyrgyzstan, an impoverished but strategically located republic that hosts both Russian and US air bases, has been struggling to stabilise since longtime president Askar Akayev was overthrown in a street revolt in March 2005.\n\nThe country has been plagued by political unrest, contract killings and organised crime.\n\nIn November, opposition demonstrators spent a week camped out in the main square of Bishkek demanding constitutional reform.\n\nAfter an outbreak of violence, Bakiyev finally gave in, signing the new constitution in what he said was \"one more step towards democracy.\"\n\nThe new constitution limits the president's powers to dissolve parliament and also gives the legislature the right to appoint the government.\n\nKulov has been prime minister since the revolution, but his reappointment is not guaranteed in the deeply divided parliament.\n\nIn May 2006,

chemical manufacturer, is making a friendly bid of 470 pence ($7.43) a share for the 59.2% of U.K. specialty chemical group Coates Brothers PLC which it does n't already own, the two sides said. \n\n The offer, which values the whole of Coates at #301 million, has already been accepted by Coates executives and other shareholders owning 12.4% of the company. \nThe acceptances give Orkem a controlling 53.2% stake in the company. \n\n Orkem and Coates said last Wednesday that the two were considering a merger, through Orkem's British subsidiary, Orkem Coatings U.K. Ltd. \n\n Orkem, France's third-largest chemical group, said it would fund the acquisition through internal resources. \nThe takeover would be followed by a restructuring of Orkem's U.K. unit, including the addition of related Orkem businesses and possibly further acquisitions. \nOrkem said it eventually would seek to make a public share offering in its U.K. business.", "time_expressions": null,

For Certain Watch Imports \n 11/02/89 \n WALL STREET JOURNAL (J) \n MONETARY NEWS, FOREIGN EXCHANGE, TRADE (MON) \n EXECUTIVE (EXE) \n WASHINGTON \n\n The White House said President Bush has approved duty-free treatment for imports of certain types of watches that are n't produced in \"significant quantities\" in the U.S., the Virgin Islands and other U.S. possessions. \n\n The action came in response to a petition filed by Timex Inc. for changes in the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences for imports from developing nations. \nPreviously , watch imports were denied such duty-free treatment. \n\n Timex had requested duty-free treatment for many types of watches, covered by 58 different U.S. tariff classifications. \nThe White House said Mr. Bush decided to grant duty-free status for 18 categories, but turned down such treatment for other types of watches \"because of the potential for material injury to watch producers located in the U.S. and the Virgin Islands.\" \n\n Timex is a major U.S. producer and seller of watches, including low-priced battery-operated watches assembled in the Philippines and other developing nations covered by the U.S. tariff preferences. \n\n U.S. trade officials said the Philippines and Thailand would be the main beneficiaries of the president's action. \n\n Imports of the types of watches that now will be eligible for duty-free treatment totaled about $37.3 million in 1988, a relatively small share of the $1.5 billion in U.S. watch imports that year, according to an aide to U.S. Trade Representative Carla Hills.",

"AFP_ENG_19970429.0522\n\nWASHINGTON, April 29 , 1997 (AFP)\n\nPeterson sworn in as ambassador to Vietnam\n\n\n\n\nFormer congressman Douglas \"Pete\" Peterson, who spent six and half years in a Vietnamese prison camp, was sworn in Tuesday as Washington's first ambassador to Hanoi.\n\nPeterson took the oath of office at a State Department ceremony attended by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, a US official said.\n\nHe is scheduled to arrive in Hanoi on May 9.\n\nPeterson's confirmation \"sends a very strong message that it is important to put the war behind us and get on with a friendly relationship,\" State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns said.\n\nBurns said the new ambassador will \"try to heal the wounds\" of the Vietnam War that ended in communist victory in 1975. The conflict claimed the lives of about three million Vietnamese and nearly 60,000 Americans.\n\nBut the State Department also put Hanoi on notice that Peterson will press Washington's view that human rights should be upheld by the Vietnamese government.\n\n\"We encourage US investment in Vietnam but it is still a communist country and we are disturbed by human rights problems there,\" Burns said.\n\n\"We intend to make it (human rights) part of the relationship,\" he added.\n\nThe US Senate approved Peterson's appointment on April 10 after a lengthy delay due to lingering Republican opposition to Washington's restored ties with former enemy Vietnam.\n\nRepublican lawmakers also questioned the constitutionality of the appointment as Peterson served in Congress when the decision to open an embassy in Hanoi was made, thus raising conflict of interest issues.\n\nEven after those issues were resolved, Republican Senator Bob Smith, a staunch opponent of President Bill Clinton's 1995 decision to normalize relations with Vietnam, again sought to delay his despatch to Hanoi.\n\n\"We are delighted that he is sworn in after such a long wait,\" Burns commented. \"He is a terrific choice,\" he added, stressing his experience as a prisoner of war.\n\nPeterson was the 66th American taken prisoner during the bitter conflict.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions":

ADDS scene details ///\n\n\n\n\nBeirut was on high alert Friday as hundreds of thousands of opposition demonstrators, led by the pro-Syrian militant group Hezbollah, staged a massive show of force aimed at pressing the Western-backed government to resign.\n\nLebanese troops and armored vehicles were heavily deployed in the capital as hordes of protesters packed streets and surrounded the offices of Prime Minister Fuad Siniora.\n\nSiniora, who heads a government backed by an anti-Syrian parliament majority elected in 2005, a day earlier vowed not to cave in to pressure from the opposition, which is made up of various factions including Shiites and Christians.\n\nIn a capital which has been the scene of previous protests involving hundreds of thousands of pro- and anti-Syrian demonstrators, organizers called for \"all Lebanese\" to take part in the protest, to be followed by an open open-ended sit-in.\n\n\"Out, out Siniora!\" protesters shouted as the streets filled with people waving Lebanese flags and chanting patriotic slogans.\n\n\"We have had enough ordeals and tears,\" they chanted. \"Siniora, out! We want a free government. We want a government that will feed our hunger.\"\n\nArmy troops and dozens of armored vehicles were heavily deployed around government offices in central Beirut and barbed wire reaching nearly two meters (seven feet) high encircled the premises.\n\nEarlier in the day, Druze chief and prominent anti-Syrian MP Walid Jumblatt denounced the impending protest and called for his supporters to stay calm.\n\n\"This is an attempted coup but we will remain strong,\" he told reporters.\n\nOrganizers pledged that the event would be peaceful and Hezbollah deployed thousands of its own \"discipline men\", who maintained tight crowd control and took up positions between army forces and protesters.\n\nThe Lebanese military has instructions to maintain order and not take sides in the protest.\n\n\"An attempt at a coup d'etat begins today\" said the pro-government daily Al-Mustaqbal.\n\nThe pro-Syrian Ad-Diyar proclaimed: \"The moment of truth is upon us\".\n\nThe planned demonstration is the latest by the opposition to push for a national unity government.\n\nAs well as the Shiite Hezbollah, the opposition includes the Shiite Amal party of parliament speaker Nabih Berri, the Christian faction of former prime minister Michel Aoun and supporters of the Syrian-backed president.\n\nHezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, whose political stock rose sharply after the resistance put up by his movement's fighters to Israel's devastating July-August offensive, has called for a massive turnout.\n\n\"We appeal to all Lebanese, from every region and political movement, to take part in a peaceful and civilized demonstration on Friday to rid us of an incapable government that has failed in its mission,\" he said in a television broadcast greeted with shots in the air in parts of the capital.\n\nSiniora also went on television to vow late on Thursday that his cabinet would not be cowed. It would fight the return of any foreign tutelage on the country, he said, in an apparent reference to Syria's decades-long military domination which ended in April 2005.\n\n\"The government of the independence... will continue to defend freedom and the democratic regime which are being targeted,\" he said.\n\n\"We will not allow any coup against our democratic regime,\" he added.\n\nTents, food, medical supplies and electrical generators were be distributed for the sit-in as many were expected to dig in for a long haul.\n\n\"We cannot reveal details of what is going to happen next,\" said one Hezbollah organizer, declining to be named.\n\n\"All we can say is that there will be speeches. There will be a permanent sit-in afterward. Some people will start putting up tents on the two main squares.\"\n\nJumblatt said: \"We will stay home, we will hang the Lebanese flags ... and when they will decide to return to dialogue, we will welcome that,\" Jumblatt said.\n\nLast year, a massive show of street power after the February assassination of five-time premier and Damascus critic Rafiq Hariri led to Syria withdrawing its troops from Lebanon.\n\nLebanon's feuding pro- and anti-Syrian factions have reached a dangerous deadlock that threatens to paralyze all state institutions. Tensions escalated after the street assassination last month of anti-Syrian industry minister Pierre Gemayel.\n\nThe key pro-Syrian officials in Lebanon's power-sharing regime -- the president and the parliament speaker -- do not recognize the rump anti-Damascus cabinet left after the pullout of six pro-Syrian ministers.\n\nPresident Lahoud told London's Daily Telegraph in Friday's edition that the government is \"no longer legal\" because it does not adequately represent the country's religious make-up and said he was confident of a peaceful march.\n\n\"The resistance (Hezbollah) is not going to shoot Lebanese people, and there will not be a civil war,\" Lahoud said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "led", "start_char": 176, "end_char": 179, "eid": "e2", "eiid":

Nov. 24 , 2006 (Xinhua)\n\ncooperation\n\n\n\n\nA three-day symposium on Respecting and Promoting Human Rights and Constructing a Harmonious World ended on Friday with a wide-ranging consensus for more cooperation to develop human rights.\n\nMore than 70 delegates from 19 countries submitted papers and delivered speeches covering almost every aspect of human rights, including basic concepts, national practices, individual freedoms, rights of different social groups, political rights and rights relevant to daily life.\n\n\"The symposium set an example for exchanges and dialogue as delegates from different countries and cultures shared views with mutual respect,\" said Jin Jian, vice-director of the China Society for Human Rights Studies.\n\nJin said delegates to the Beijing event clarified standpoints of their respective countries. They all expressed the wish to safeguard and promote human rights by all countries and peoples.\n\nDelegates from China proposed the principle that the universal character of human rights must be implemented proceeding from the specific conditions of each country. The right to subsistence and development was the human right of paramount importance. All countries should promote dialogue and oppose antagonism.\n\nAll delegates believed all people were entitled to human rights, irrespective of race, gender, religious belief and language. The elimination of poverty, and economic and social development were of special importance to the development of human rights.\n\nJin said some countries promoted rights through their constitutions, some protected rights with the help of non-governmental organizations, and some promoted political democracy through eliminating illiteracy.\n\nDelegates hoped the United Nations Commission of Human Rights played a positive role in promoting international cooperation.\n\nJin said the concept of a harmonious world was worthy of the joint efforts of all humanity. Insufficient respect and guarantees for human rights led to wars, increasing poverty, the widening of south-north disparities, terrorism, environmental degradation and other problems.\n\nDong Yunhu, vice-director and general-secretary of the China Society for Human Rights Studies, said controversies were left unresolved after the meeting, and exchanges of different views would continue.\n\n\"We all hoped that nations could strengthen international cooperation on both governmental and non-governmental levels,\" he said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

April 18 , 1997 (AFP)\n\nLee wins assurance of Clinton support in Hong Kong handover by Gretchen Cook\n\n\n\n\nPresident Bill Clinton Friday assured Hong Kong's Democratic party leader Martin Lee that the United States will defend democratic freedoms in the territory once China takes it over.\n\nThe president told Lee during their meeting that \"there would be consequences if there are democratic erosions\" after the July 1 transition of the British colony to China rule, White House spokesman Michael McCurry said.\n\nLee, Hong Kong's chief China critic, said Clinton gave him a warm reception despite a White House decision to downgrade the meeting to a \"drop-by.\"\n\n\"I have no doubt at all after this meeting ... that the US government will defend Hong Kong's freedoms,\" Lee said following his 25-minute talks with Clinton and Vice President Al Gore.\n\nHe said Clinton supported his view that the 1984 Joint Declaration between Britain and China was an \"international agreement,\" a stand likely to irk China which insists it is a domestic matter that US leaders should stay out of.\n\nMcCurry said Clinton also shared Lee's concerns about the replacement of Hong Kong's elected legislature with a China-appointed body, calling it \"contrary to the commitments\" of the agreement on the transition.\n\nLee said he asked Clinton to extend a White House invitation to Hong Kong's future leader, Tung Chee-hwa, which McCurry said was under consideration.\n\nTung on Wednesday cancelled a US visit reportedly to avoid embarrassment should he be denied a White House meeting.\n\nFriday's talks were specially choreographed to minimize tensions with China, with an official meeting between Gore and Lee which Clinton dropped in on while it was \"in progress.\"\n\nTung had warned Lee Friday to be careful during his own trip to Washington, saying \"please bear in mind that whatever he says it will be carefully read and interpreted. The worst thing is, at this juncture, to give people in the United States a wrong impression.\"\n\nLee said he also urged Clinton to extend China's Most Favored Nation trade status again this year, saying that revoking the benefits would hurt Hong Kong the more than Beijing.\n\nThough the US administration has been issuing daily warnings about preserving democracy in Hong Kong, it has not threatened any concrete measures should China go ahead with plans to crack down on freedoms of expression and assembly.\n\nMcCurry acknowledged the US threats were mostly lip service but defended the method.\n\n\"A large measure of it is just jawboning but that's important to the Chinese leadership,\" he said.\n\nHe pointed to this week's mammoth effort by Beijing to block a UN resolution on condemning China's human rights record, saying: \"They clearly are sensitive to those in the international community who raised concerns.\"\n\nAs part of the US vigilance over the handover, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright will attend the ceremony in Hong Kong, where there are 40,000 American citizens and some 13 billion dollars in investments.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions":

"AFP_ENG_19970402.0427\n\nTIRANA, April 2 , 1997 (AFP)\n\nAlbania, Italy agree on need for speedy deployment of force\n\n\n\n\nAlbania and Italy agreed Wednesday on the need for the speedy deployment of an Italian-led force here, patching up their differences over a boat disaster in which dozens of Albanian refugees drowned.\n\nItalian Prime Minister Romano Prodi flew into southern Albania for talks with his Albanian counterpart Bashkim Fino.\n\nFino said Albania wanted the proposed 5,000-strong Italian-led international force to be sent immediately.\n\n\"Albania is ready (for the force), the other countries are ready, we must not waste any more time. Each day lost damages Albania,\" he told reporters, after the meeting.\n\nFranz Vranitzky, the former Austrian chancellor heading the OSCE mission to Albania, told journalists that \"the United Nations have given us three months,\" adding that the soldiers should be on the ground \"in the space of 10 or 14 days.\"\n\nThe force's mission, approved by the UN Security Council March 28, involves securing roads, junctions, warehouses and aid depots, as well as in distributing the aid.\n\nAlbania's deputy defence minister, Alfred Moisiu, told AFP Tirana itself would set up a volunteer force of 3,000 \"well armed\" and \"well paid\" soldiers to support the international force.\n\nProdi said he had asked Fino to confirm that \"the Albanian government still wanted the international operation to start as soon as possible. The prime minister assured me that that was what the government wanted,\" he said.\n\nAfter their meeting, Fino went on to Athens for talks with Greek and other European officials.\n\nThe meeting seemed to clear the air clouded by the disaster Friday in which more than 80 Albanian refugees were believed killed in the sinking of an Albanian boat which collided with an Italian navy vessel.\n\nAlbanian anger at the drownings had raised doubts about whether Italian troops will be sent to southern Albania and military sources in Rome said Tuesday they believed Italian troops would not go to the south of the country.\n\nThat seemed less certain however Wednesday as pressure mounted to get the mission on the ground quickly.\n\n\"It has to be done quickly,\" said Vranitzky, head of the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe humanitarian mission to Albania, after talks in Rome with Italian Foreign Minister Lamberto Dini.\n\nVranitzky also told journalists \"we have a chance to avoid\" the errors committed in the former Yugoslavia, where there was an initial lack of international coordination.\n\n\"Albania has need of aid, of restoring public order, of economic reconstruction and in restoring confidence in its political system,\" Vranitzky said.\n\nDini said the force's deployment, which \"not yet been decided, will be decided in common.\"\n\nThe comments came before a meeting in Rome of the countries which will supply the force's troops, whose mission is to protect humanitarian aid channels in the chaos-worn country.\n\nIn Brussels, EU Humanitarian Aid Commissioner Emma Bonino added to the calls with a warning that food supplies in Albania had reached alarming levels.\n\n\"There is no famine yet but we are concerned that stocks have been reduced below safety levels,\" she told the European Parliament's foreign affairs committee.\n\nBonino said EU food and medical aid could be sent to Albania quickly using logistical structures established in the former Yugoslavia. \"But only if we can solve the protection problem.\"\n\nThe proposed international force's role would be strictly confined to protecting the humanitarian convoys, Bonino noted. \"There is no mandate for disarming rebels or anything else of that nature,\" she said.\n\nItaly is expected to provide some 2,000 soldiers; France said Tuesday it was sending 1,000; Greece has promised up to 700 troops; Turkey, 500; Romania, 400. Hungary ruled out sending troops while Spain and Portugal are still considering their contribution.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "agreed", "start_char": 135, "end_char":

cited the green paper on the 2006-2008 Medium Term Expenditure Framework as saying that total revenue and grants next year are projected to be 9,084 billion kwacha (or 2.3 billion dollars).\n\n\"Thus

2006 or 2.9 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP),\" said Secretary to Treasury Situmbeko Musokotwane.\n\nThe 2006 budget represents an increase of 776 billion kwacha ( about 194 million dollars)

to reduce steadily.\n\n\"Approximately an average of 68.6 percent of the capital expenditures will be financed from external resources compared to the 85 percent in 2005-2007 period,\" Musokotwane stated.\n\n\"In 2006, the government proposes to spend 42 percent of the projected total expenditure on general public services,\" he said.\n\nGeneral public services include functions such as administration and operation of or support to the executive and legislative arms of government, administration of financial and fiscal affairs and services.\n\nHe further said the government has projected to spend 7.8 percent of the total expenditures in 2006 on defense.\n\nHealth is anticipated to take up 7.6 percent of the total expenditure in 2006 while education will consume 15.1 percent,

Keating's convictions were thrown out in nineteen ninety-six on a\n technicality.\n And on that basis Keating was released from prison before he\n was eligible for parole.\n Now the ninth US circuit

29th graf pvs, `A CBS...'\nLaserPhotos WX6,7,XSAV1,NY5,10,TOK1,XAAFB1,AMM1, LaserColor XAAFB1\nBy CHRISTOPHER BURNS\nAssociated Press Writer\n\n Iraq's Saddam Hussein, facing U.S. and Arab troops at the Saudi\nborder, today sought peace on another front by promising to\nwithdraw from Iranian territory and release soldiers captured\nduring the Iran-Iraq war.\n Also today, King Hussein of Jordan arrived in Washington seeking\nto mediate the Persian Gulf crisis. President Bush on Tuesday said\nthe United States may extend its naval quarantine to Jordan's Red\nSea port of Aqaba to shut off Iraq's last unhindered trade route.\n In another mediation effort, the Soviet Union said today it had\nsent an envoy to the Middle East on a series of stops to include\nBaghdad. Soviet officials also said Soviet women, children and\ninvalids would be allowed to leave Iraq.\n President Bush today denounced Saddam's ``ruinous policies of\nwar,'' and said the United States is ``striking a blow for the\nprinciple that might does not make right.''\n In a speech delivered at the Pentagon, Bush seemed to suggest\nthat American forces could be in the gulf region for some time.\n``No one should doubt our staying power or determination,'' he said.\n The U.S. military buildup in Saudi Arabia continued at fever\npace, with Syrian troops now part of a multinational force camped\nout in the desert to guard the Saudi kingdom from any new thrust by\nIraq.\n In a letter to President Hashemi Rafsanjani of Iran, read by a\nbroadcaster over Baghdad radio, Saddam said he will begin\nwithdrawing troops from Iranian territory on Friday and release\nIranian prisoners of war.\n Iran said an Iraqi diplomatic delegation was en route to Tehran\nto deliver Saddam's message, which it said it would review ``with\noptimism.''\n Saddam appeared to accept a border demarcation treaty he had\nrejected in peace talks following the August 1988 cease-fire of the\neight-year war with Iran.\n The move seemed aimed at heading off more trouble with Iran,\nwhich had condemned Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on Aug. 2 but also\ncriticized the multinational force dispatched to Saudi Arabia.\n Saddam said he sought to ``turn the gulf into a lake of peace\nfree of foreign fleets and forces that harbor ill intentions\nagainst us.''\n In other developments:\n _The Pentagon said that Defense Secretary Dick Cheney is\nconsidering urging Bush to order a national callup of armed forces\nreserves for active duty because of the drain on units sending\nsoldiers abroad. Bush can call up to 200,000 reservists for up to\n180 days without seeking congressional approval.\n _Soviet Foreign Ministry spokesman Yuri Gremitskikh said special\nambassador Mikhail Sytenko left Tuesday for consultations with the\ngovernments of Syria, Jordan, Egypt and other Arab countries.\nSytenko, a former deputy secretary-general of the United Nations,\nis also expected to visit Baghdad, Gremitskikh said at a regular\nnews briefing today.\n _The outlook darkened for about 3,000 Americans caught in Iraq\nand Kuwait when Saddam sent his forces into the small, oil-rich\nsultanate.\n The Iraqi ambassador to Greece said in Athens the Americans and\nother stranded foreigners could leave ``as soon as the threats from\nthe United States and its allies are eliminated.'' ABC quoted an\nIraqi Foreign Ministry official in Baghdad as saying Americans in\nIraq are ``restrictees'' who will stay there until the crisis ends.\n _The Soviet Foreign Ministry said Soviet women, children and\ninvalids would be permitted to leave Iraq. Spokesman Yuri\nGremitskikh said the first group of 230 evacuees was assembling in\nBaghdad today, but evacuation plans were hampered by desert heat\nand lack of transportation.\n Nearly 9,000 Soviets were among the hundreds of thousands of\nforeigners trapped in Iraq and Kuwait. Iraq has agreed to allow all\n880 Soviets in Kuwait to leave, but only by a 1,200-mile road route\nthrough Iraq and to the Iraq-Jordan border.\n _The British Foreign Office said today conditions in Kuwait\nappear to be deteriorating. There have been reports of wholesale\nlooting but food and gasoline were still available, said a\nspokesman, who by custom was not identified. Banks remained closed.\n _The Iraqi ambassador to Venezuela said on Tuesday that Iraq\nwould retaliate against Venezuela and other OPEC oil cartel members\nif they boost oil production to fill the gap created by blocked\nsupplies from Iraq and Kuwait. With Kuwait now ``annexed,'' Iraq\nhas control of 20 percent of the world's oil reserves. A steep rise\nin world oil prices followed the Kuwait invasion.\n The U.N. Security Council on Aug. 6 ordered a global embargo on\ntrade with Iraq as punishment for seizing Kuwait. Bush then sent\nU.S. troops and planes to Saudi Arabia, saying Iraqi troops massed\nnearby in Kuwait threatened Saudi Arabia and its vast oil reserves.\n Twelve Arab League nations voted for an Arab force to protect\nSaudi Arabia, with the vanguard of Syria's contingent arriving\nTuesday, according to diplomatic sources in Riyadh, the Saudi\ncapital.\n Egyptian and Moroccan troops are already there.\n The predominantly Moslem nation of Bangladesh said today its\ntroops would join multinational forces in Saudi Arabia. The size of\nthe contingent was not disclosed.\n Turkey and Saudi Arabia in effect shut down Iraq's major oil\noutlets through those countries, but according to Jordanian\nofficials, a smaller line into Jordan remained operating.\n Truckloads of goods rolled into Iraq from Jordan on Tuesday and\nIraqi-bound cargo was unloaded from ships at the Red Sea port\nofAqaba despite the U.N.-ordered sanctions.\n King Hussein was reportedly carrying a message to Bush from\nIraq's Saddam, with whom the king met Monday. The monarch will meet\nBush on Thursday in Kennebunkport, Maine.\n Crown Prince Hassan, King Hussein's brother and political\nadviser, was asked today about the message the king was said to be\ncarrying. In an interview from Jordan on ABC, he declined to\ndiscuss details, but said: ``I don't think that his majesty would\nbe traveling at this crucial moment if the Iraqi leadership did not\nhave a rational approach to the future.''\n A CBS News report citing unidentified Jordanian sources said\nthat Saddam's message called for an international conference to be\nconvened to discuss an Iraqi withdrawal from Kuwait. In exchange,\nthe buildup of U.S. forces in the region would halt. Bush, however,\nsays he sees no short-term hope for a diplomatic solution to the\ngulf crisis _ at least until economic sanctions force Saddam to\nwithdraw his army.\n Bush held out the prospect of more aid to Jordan if it\ncooperates with the trade embargo.\n On Tuesday, the United States and Soviet Union conferred in\nWashington on putting an anti-Iraq naval blockade under a United\nNations umbrella.\n The United States has provided most of the naval vessels so far\nto block Iraqi trade, with Britain, West Germany and Australia\namong the other nations lending support at sea.\n The embargo is meant to cripple Iraq by cutting off its exports\nof oil and imports of food and military supplies. Iraq imports\nabout three-quarters of its foodstuffs.\n U.S. allies and other U.N. members have objected that the\nSecurity Council embargo resolution did not specifically authorize\nsuch a naval operation.\n Bush told a news conference on Tuesday that the naval barricade\nnow in force might be extended to Jordan's Aqaba ``if it is a hole\nthrough which commerce flows'' in and out of Iraq.\n In Saudi Arabia, today is the eighth day of ``Desert Shield,''\nthe operation designed to confront an estimated 200,000 Iraqi\nsoldiers now in Kuwait. Iraq boasts an army of 1 million members.\nAt least 50,000 U.S. troops are expected to be committed to Desert\nShield within weeks, including Marines, Army air assault forces,\nparatroopers and infantry.\n Iraq said it invaded Kuwait because of disputes over oil and\nmoney. It accused Kuwait of deliberately slashing Iraqi oil\nrevenues by overproducing oil and driving down prices, among other\ncharges.\n Iraq has 17 million residents, and Kuwait about 1.9 million.",

southern California burns 300 acres of brush\n\n\n\n\nA wind-fueled wildfire burned 300 acres of brush in southern California Monday, threatening homes and choking the sky with gray clouds of smoke, officials said.\n\nFirefighters rushed to Fontana in San Bernadino Country, some 80 km east of Los Angeles, after the fire began about 7:35 a.m near Ineterstate 15, the main road from southern California to Las Vegas.\n\nAbout 150 firefighters were at the scene, where a golf course and a development of houses were nearby.\n\nThe fire began in vegetation but spread south to a walled commercial lot used for the assembly and storage of wooden pallets, according to a Los Angeles Times website report.\n\nExploding propane tanks in the pallet yard sent debris across the street, but no damage to the homes was reported, said Fontana Mayor Mark Nuaimi.\n\nThe blaze came as southern California authorities issued a red flag warning indicating a high risk of wildfires because of strong winds, high heat and low humidity. The warning was due to expire at 6 p.m.\n\nFour firefighters were killed last month in a rampant wind- driven wildfire, which was apparently caused by an arson and burned some 40,000 acres of rugged terrain and destroyed 34 houses in the nearby Riverside County.\n\nAnother firefighter died last week, failing to survive the burns over 90 percent of his body when the flames swept over the National Forest Service fire crew in the Riverside fire.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "burned", "start_char": 144, "end_char": 150, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type":

ranging from the Iraq war, to immigration reform and a series of ethics scandals.\n\nMany political observers now say relations between ruling Republicans and rival Democrats on Capitol Hill are the worst they have ever seen. They predict the wrangling will not improve as the United States heads toward mid-term elections in November.\n\n\"People naturally disagree about who is responsible for the partisan tone and tactics in Washington DC these days, but most agree on this -- its worse, its more intense, and its nastier,\" said Nancy Roman, vice president at the New York based Council on Foreign Relations.\n\nMuch of the bickering is over Iraq, which has caused sparring between the two political parties and among factions within them.\n\nThe Republicans dominate the Senate and House of Representatives.\n\nIt has been weakened by a number of scandals, particularly involving House leader Tom DeLay. But the rift in the party became evident when the Senate last month voted 79-19 in favor of a resolution calling on President George W. Bush's administration to show clearer signs of progress in Iraq.\n\nRepublicans were also divided over support for an anti-torture proposal that Republican maverick Senator John McCain has forced the White House to accept.\n\nThe Democrats have also struggled to find a common voice on Iraq, torn between the public disenchantment with the US military campaign and the need to offer a viable alternative to the administration's \"stay the course\" approach -- particularly after Democratic Representative John Murtha last month called for an immediate troop pullout.\n\nOn most other issues, however, the political battles in Congress have been drawn along traditional lines -- with Republicans and Democrat squaring off against each other.\n\nSenator Lindsey Graham told US television this week that Iraq more than any other issue has given parties on both sides ammunition to attack each other.\n\n\"There is no political consensus in this country. Democrats or Republicans are struggling. We've lost our national unity when it comes to Iraq,\" he said.\n\n\"I wish we would quit running ads against each other and try to find consensus.\"\n\nIn a letter to fellow lawmakers this month, leading Republican, Senator Richard Lugar, lamented the negative tone and called for greater comity.\n\n\"The quality of congressional debate has an impact on events in Iraq and our prospects for success,\" wrote Lugar, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.\n\n\"We should continually strive to elevate our debate by studying thoughtful sources of information and embracing civility in our discourse,\" he said.\n\nThe Council on Foreign Relations concluded in a study that the Congress wars were even weakening the United States on the world stage.\n\n\"People in both parties are complaining that they do not know what the other side thinks on critical foreign policy issues. They say there is generally less engagement and ideas are not being sharpened through debate -- the tough questions are not being probed,\" the report concluded.\n\n\"The job is to diminish and destroy any chance at political success before the guts of the policy are even contemplated,\" the document continued.\n\n\"Over time, the political game has overtaken the deliberative-policy process, which results in a dumbing-down of policy.\"\n\nStill, some in Congress said the complaints are overblown.\n\n\"The people in this country think that everything that is done in this Congress is always so partisan -- Republicans and Democrats never get along, we never talk to each another, we never agree on anything,\" Republican Chuck Grassley said on the Senate floor Tuesday.\n\n\"As a practical matter, nothing gets done in the United States Senate that isn't somewhat bipartisan,\" Grassley said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "ends", "start_char": 92, "end_char":

slobs by Communist chief\n\n\n\n\nRude, bad-tempered slobs: that was the verdict of a Chinese Communist Party chief when he posted a critique of government officials on the Internet.\n\nThe posting by Zhang Xinshi, CPC secretary of Suqian city, or senior governor, was intended to upbraid junior officials who dealt with the public -- but it quickly attracted massive public support and sparked a nationwide debate over the behaviour of government officials.\n\nPosted on the government website, \"Detailed Problems with the Deportment of Suqianers\" criticized unreservedly the demeanor of the citizens, with special contempt for the bad example set by many public servants set in the city.\n\n\"Some cadres totally disregard etiquette on public occasions. Some often talk unbearably loud as if there were no one else present or answer their phones in an abnormally high pitch for fear that others would not know he is talking on the phone,\" Zhang wrote.\n\nHe even detailed the stink caused by official who failed to flush the toilet after use.\n\nThe essay struck a raw nerve with the public, who seemed to awaken from apathy.\n\nNearly 1,000 comments were posted within one day of the essay's release, mostly hailing Zhang's self-examination while bitterly attacking the rudeness of his subordinates.\n\nA netizen named \"Lan Keer\" wrote: \"Officials are representing the image of a place. If they are bad-mannered, how can the government ask the public to maintain a courteous environment in the city?\n\n\"It really is a progress for the leader to realize the problem and his attention to detail shows a sense of responsibility.\"\n\n\"Miss Right\" wrote: \"I am touched by what the official did because he is a man speaking out from a real sense of justice. Many officials scorn such trifles, but they don't know these trifles are actually what we people care about most.\"\n\nThe medium of Zhang's critique also received praise.\n\n\"He chose a proper channel to make the denouncement. If he had said this at a conference or via governmental publications, nobody would have responded,\" said \"Seagull\", adding the posting showcased the real function of a government website.\n\nIt was more than a medium for releasing documents and investment information. A government website should be a communication platform between officials and the public, he said.\n\nHowever, a \"coalition\" of Internet users branded the critique \"self-advertising\".\n\n\"Without the posting who would know about the CPC leader in Suqian? The guy finally managed to bring himself nationwide fame and who knows whether he will get a promotion because of it?\" one asked.\n\nProfessor Yu Xianyang, with the People's University, said Zhang had vividly reflected public perceptions of government officials, regardless of his real intentions.\n\nMany public servants in Suqian were sloppily dressed, spat and dropped litter and made a racket in public places. \"Perhaps he has no choice but to do this,\" Yu said.\n\nCodes of conduct, which should be taught in primary school, had become something that officials failed to abide by. Zhang said it shamed thousands of the bad-mannered government staffs.\n\nThe majority of Chinese public servants were well-educated and had to undergo rigorous tests to acquire a post in the government, but their spirit and enthusiasm were ground down by routine drudgery, Yu said.\n\nSome even lost their sense of the most basic courtesy.\n\nAll levels of government had made economic construction their main priority, but bad manners could eclipse economic growth in the minds of the public, said Yu.\n\nChina has about five million public servants, 90 percent of them a grassroots level.\n\nIn Suqian, Zhang's posting resulted in a series of measures to enforce courtesy in public servants -- just as it is enforced in China's primary schools.", "time_expressions": null,

immigration to a brain drain, come under the spotlight at a second and final day of a summit of African and French leaders here on Sunday.\n\nFrench President Jacques Chirac and, for the first time at an Africa-France Summit, representatives of all 53 African states, including more than 20 heads of state, have gathered in the Malian capital, Bamako.\n\nWith crunch global trade talks looming in Hong Kong, the need to ensure a better deal for poor African nations in world trade was one of the themes to focus leaders' minds here on the opening day.\n\n\"African farmers must receive a fair reward for their work. We cannot accept a situation in which hasty and generalised liberalisation of agricultural trade ruins the efforts of the least developed nations,\" Chirac said.\n\nMinisters of the 148 World Trade Organisation members head to Hong Kong from December 13 to take stock of the 'Doha Development' round of negotiations, launched in the Qatari capital in 2001.\n\nThe talks have largely stalled over the degree to which rich countries offer financial support to their agriculture sectors.\n\nMali President Amadou Toumani Toure said cotton was \"symbolic of inequitable trade\". \"Are we going to continue in Africa sowing cotton to harvest deficits, while others, more affluent, sow the same cotton to harvest subsidies?\" Toure said.\n\nWest African governments want the WTO meeting to fix a date to eliminate all cotton subsidies, which they say price their top export earner out of world markets.\n\nThe crisis in France's former colony of Ivory Coast, divided since fighting broke out in 2002 pitting President Laurent Gbagbo against rebels who control the north, is another source of concern.\n\nChirac said, during talks with the leaders of South Africa and Niger here, that France, which has 4,000 troops deployed in Ivory Coast, wanted a new prime minister appointed in Ivory Coast soon, a French delegation source said.\n\nIvorian political and rebel parties have been unable to agree on who should head an interim government.\n\nSummiteers have also addressed how to tackle immigration and the alleviation of poverty to keep Africans, tempted to seek better living conditions elsewhere, at home.\n\n\"Together, we must encourage co-development and enable Africans to enjoy decent conditions for living and working in their own countries,\" Chirac, 73, said.\n\nThe Bamako summit is the first time he has travelled outside of Europe since his week-long hospitalisation in September for a vision problem that doctors said was caused by a minor vascular \"incident\".",

"AFP_ENG_20051215.0058\n\nMANILA, Dec 15 , 2005\n\nATTENTION - ADDS presidential reactions ///\n\n\n\n\nPhilippine police detained Thursday a former defence secretary who had declared himself president and urged the armed forces to withdraw their support for President Gloria Arroyo.\n\nRetired general Fortunato Abat, 80, was bundled into an unmarked police van and taken in for questioning with two other members of his self-proclaimed cabinet to face possible charges of inciting sedition, the authorities said.\n\nThere was no indication that either the military or the public were taking Abat's call to overthrow Arroyo very seriously, although rumours of a coup plot have been rife for weeks in Manila.\n\n\"There can only be one president,\" said police spokesman Leopoldo Bataoil.\n\nThough the government had considered Abat more of a nuisance than a security threat, Arroyo's chief aide, Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita told reporters: \"We have to do something because we cannot let the people feel there is a violation of law and nothing is being done.\"\n\nAbat had urged the military and the public to support calls for the ouster of Arroyo, who survived an impeachment vote in the legislature in September over allegations she cheated to win the May 2004 presidential election.\n\nAbat failed to rally popular support and the military said they stayed loyal to Arroyo, who survived a military uprising in 2003.\n\nAbat's son, a middle-level officer in the Philippine Army, was relieved of his post as deputy commander of a brigade deployed north of Manila, the military said Thursday.\n\nColonel Victor Abat was accused by superiors of sending mobile telephone text messages that supposedly urged other military officers to join acts of \"destabilization\" that the military would not specify.\n\n\"I have deemed it proper to relieve him because he had been spreading text messages enjoining officers and men of the army to join the destabilization move,\" said army chief Lieutenant General Hermogenes Esperon.\n\nRumours have swirled in recent days that a new coup plot was being hatched against Arroyo whose approval rating has plunged to record lows due to a six-month campaign from the opposition to oust her.\n\nThese rumours have grown after a Marine officer, Marine Captain Nicanor Faeldon, facing charges for a foiled mutiny against Arroyo in 2003, escaped Wednesday shortly after a court hearing.\n\nArroyo spokesman Ignacio Bunye charged that his escape was \"well-planned and well-coordinated.\"\n\n\"We believe that he is now being coddled by some shadowy groups and personalities for their self-serving destabilization activities,\" Bunye said.\n\nHe did not identify the groups although in the past the government has said members of the opposition had been involved in efforts to destabilize Arroyo.\n\nMeanwhile, Ermita said Arroyo met with senior military commanders late Wednesday on her return from an East Asian summit in Malaysia.\n\n\"We cannot be too complacent about reports that we have received and (discussed) actions that have to be done,\" he added.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

///\n\n\n\n\nThe latest in a series of mass kidnappings spread terror in Baghdad on Sunday as peace talks between Iraq's bitterly divided factions produced a limited agenda for constitutional reform.\n\nThe violence in the war-torn capital also provided a grim backdrop to an unannounced visit by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who flew in to offer support to his beleaguered Iraqi counterpart Nuri al-Maliki.\n\nAt least 25 aid workers were hauled off at gunpoint from a Baghdad office of the Iraqi Red Crescent aid agency by a gang of 50 gunmen sporting police uniforms -- the second such mass abduction in Baghdad in three days.\n\nThe hostage-takers, jumping out of around 10 pick-up trucks, raided the Red Crescent building in the Karrada district in broad daylight, snatching at least two dozen men but leaving women behind, witnesses and officials said.\n\nNada Doumani, a spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), part of the same movement as the Red Crescent, said 25 aid workers and an unknown number of visitors were taken.\n\n\"We condemn such an attack against civilians and humanitarian workers. It is a breach of international humanitarian law. The building was clearly marked with the Red Crescent symbol,\" she said.\n\nMeanwhile, a short distance away another gang -- again in the uniforms of the Shiite-dominated security forces -- shot dead one Sunni local councillor and kidnapped three more from their car, a security official said.\n\nThe latest abductions came three days after gunmen wearing military uniforms snatched dozens of businessmen from a commercial street in Baghdad, before releasing around 29 of their captives, all Shiites.\n\nLess than a kilometre from the site of the kidnapping, protected behind the high walls of the fortified Green Zone, Blair stood shoulder to shoulder with Maliki and gave strong backing to his efforts to reunite the country.\n\nHe told the Iraqi leader that Britain will \"stand four square behind you and the Iraqi people in ensuring that your democracy is not destroyed by terrorism, by sectarianism, by those who wish to live in hatred rather than peace\".\n\nBritish public support for the war has slipped amid mounting sectarian violence and military casualties, but Blair angrily dismissed the idea that the 2003 US and British invasion of Iraq had triggered the chaos.\n\nInstead, he blamed \"the same forces worldwide that are trying to prevent moderation, prevent modernisation, and prevent people expressing their will for democracy, through violence\".\n\nBlair flew from Baghdad to the southern port city of Basra where Britain has more than 7,000 soldiers fighting militias and training Iraqi forces. He met soldiers before flying on to the next leg in a Middle East tour.\n\nThe visit, planned in secret to protect him from attack, came as the Iraqi government held fresh peace talks to fend off civil war.\n\nThe national reconciliation conference began Saturday and marked the first attempt by the coalition government to draw former members of ousted leader Saddam Hussein's armed forces and Baath party into the political process.\n\nBut only a small number of representatives from movements outside the political process turned up, and the proposals which working groups suggested will have to be ratified by the cabinet or parliament.\n\n\"The only important practical measure recommended by the conference is paying sizeable pensions to former soldiers,\" Naseer al-Ani told AFP.\n\n\"Other than that, participants reiterated slogans about national unity and expressed good intentions for reforms that will have to be approved (by government and parliament),\" said Ani.\n\nThe four committees that compiled the string of recommendations, after two days of talks that Maliki hoped would isolate insurgents, will now work on implementing their suggestions with government and parliament.\n\nOne recommendation would see Iraq reinstate compulsory military service, another suggests independent deputy ministers to be appointed alongside political appointees, and a third wants the Iraqi constitution reviewed.\n\nOn Saturday, Maliki called on Saddam-era army officers to join his armed forces to fight the insurgency and urged parliament to review a law banning former Baathists from administrative posts.\n\nIraq is in the grip of a dirty war between rival Sunni and Shiite factions battling for turf and political power in the chaos that has descended on the country as the government and US military battle Sunni insurgents.\n\nBesides the kidnappings, Iraq endured a fresh round of shootings on Sunday that left three security officials dead and at least 21 bodies dumped in Baghdad, Baquba and the northern oil capital of Kirkuk, officials said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "spread", "start_char": 135, "end_char": 141, "eid":

and hungry Rwandan refugees flowed into Biaro on Tuesday, as humanitarian organisations managed to push through 10 tonnes of aid for the first time in a week.\n\nOther refugees, meanwhile, continued to arrive in the camp, about 40 kilometres (25 miles) to the south of Kisangani.\n\nSome 30,000 people had been housed in Biaro until the beginning of last week, but the refugees, along with 55,000 others at nearby Kasese, fled after reportedly being attacked by villagers and rebel forces.\n\nGroups of refugees have now begun emerging from the forest to head back for Biaro in search of humanitarian aid.\n\nOn Monday, a humanitarian mission found more than 5,000 refugees in the Biaro camp.\n\nOne man in a torn, filthy T-shirt and carrying a bundle on his head, described his flight.\n\n\"I heard gunfire in the middle of the night and I fled into the forest, as far away as possible. I left everything in the camp, I've got nothing left,\" he said.\n\n\"Then some Zairean villagers told us peace had returned, that we could go back to Biaro. We walked for two days to get here. But there are still lots of people in the forest, they are afraid to come back. You often hear firing.\"\n\nTuesday's aid shipment marked the first time since April 20 that international organisations have been able to get supplies through to the starving, exhausted and often diseased refugees, as Kabila's rebels have held back aid convoys for \"security\" regions.\n\nEven on Tuesday, rebels only allowed through three trucks -- compared with the 11 requested by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) -- and the humanitarian organisations were held up until midday at Lula, just outside Kisangani, until a military escort could be provided.\n\nMoreover, aid workers were only allowed to spend two hours in Biaro assisting refugees and they were prevented from travelling outside the camp, officially for security reasons.\n\nAt various points on the route linking Kisangani and Biaro, as well as in the camp, there was a strong smell of decomposing bodies.\n\nThe majority of rebels who spoke to AFP accused the mainly Tutsi rebels of massacring numerous Hutu refugees -- a charge vehemently denied by the rebels.\n\nWitnesses said that on Tuesday they saw a group of about 15 rebel soldiers near Biaro order the weak and starving refugees to continue their trek to Ubundu, 150 kilometres (90 miles) south of Kisangani), a region to which rebels forbid access.\n\nThere was also concern over the fate of more than 500 refugees, mostly men, made by rebels, who promised food would be distributed, to board a train heading for Ubundu, which people in Biaro said they feared was \"a train of death.\"\n\nEarlier on Tuesday, Zairean rebels asked UN staff to prepare to fly home a first group of about 1,000 Rwandan refugees from Kisangani in eastern Zaire, the UN refugee agency said.\n\nAntonella Gesulfo of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees said in Kisangani that the rebels had told the UNHCR that the Hutu refugees were travelling to the city from Biaro by train.\n\n\"This was a surprise for us, it wasn't planned, but if it helps us speed up repatriations, why not?\" Gesulfo said. The United Nations faces a monumental task if it is to find and fly home tens of thousands of exhausted and terrorised refugees within a 60-day rebel deadline starting Thursday.\n\nThe ultimatum, imposed by rebel leader Laurent Kabila on Sunday, has already been rejected as unreasonable by both the United States and United Nations.\n\nFrench Foreign Minister Herve de Charette on Tuesday further denounced the ultimatum and urged that humanitarian organisations must be given immediate access to refugees.\n\nEuropean foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg also called on Kabila to guarantee humanitarian organisations access to conflict zones.\n\nIn Biaro, the humanitarian lorries unloaded biscuits, powdered milk, medicines, covers and cooking utensils.\n\nBecause of the limited supplies available, only children were allowed biscuits, amid disorderly scenes, with refugees, driven by hunger, jostling for food.\n\nSome 170 unaccompanied children were among a group of refugees to be taken by the lorries which brought in the aid to a transit centre close to Kisangani, from where they were to be flown home to Rwanda on Wednesday, a UNHCR spokesman said.", "time_expressions":

with audience with pope ///\n\n\n\n\nPope Benedict XVI, who hopes one day to visit the Holy Land, on Wednesday met Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, in Italy as part of a brief European tour mainly aimed at drumming up support for sanctions against Iran's nuclear programme.\n\nThe Israeli leader was given a private audience with the pope and was then to meet the Vatican head of government, Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone. The head of the Roman Catholic Church said in August he hoped to visit the Holy Land, if possible \"in times of peace\".\n\nOlmert, who flew to Italy on the second and final leg of a European visit, was then to meet his Italian counterpart Romano Prodi.\n\nIn Germany, his previous stop, Olmert won backing for anti-Tehran sanctions from Chancellor Angela Merkel, who said that \"unfortunately the time has come for sanctions\" after Iran had turned its back on attempts to persuade it to stop enriching uranium.\n\nOlmert's spokeswoman Miri Eisin told AFP that Rome too was expected to rally behind moves by Israel and the United States to try to bring Iran into line.\n\nIranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad, who has threatened to wipe Israel off the map, says his country's nuclear programme is aimed at purely civilian use.\n\nAlso during his talks with Prodi, Olmert will \"underline the importance for Israel of Italy's participation in the Interim United Nations Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL),\" Eisin said,\n\nRome is to send 2,500 troops and take over command of the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, which was beefed up after a 34-day war between Israel and Hezbollah in July and August.\n\nAs part of the UN force, German navy ships have been patrolling the Lebanese coast to prevent any arms smuggling into the country.\n\nOlmert will also raise possible ways of reviving dormant peace talks with the Palestinians, provided Europe continues to boycott the Hamas-led Palestinian government, Eisin said.\n\n\"Germany, Italy and Europe in general have a role to play to advance the peace process,\" Eisin said. \"But there cannot be any recognition of the Hamas government as long as this movement does not recognize Israel and does not give up its mission to destroy it.\"\n\nAlthough Olmert said in Berlin on Tuesday that Israel remained opposed to talks with Syria as \"the time is not ripe\", Rome, which for its part favours dialogue with Damascus, is expected to discuss how European nations could play a role as an interface between the two camps.\n\nItaly too will urge Israel to agree to place the disputed Shebaa Farms area, a small corner of land sandwiched between Lebanon, Syria and Israel, under UN administration, Italian diplomatic sources said.\n\nThe sources said this would bolster the hand of beleaguered Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora whose country has demanded sovereignty over the area since 1967, while Israel argues it is part of the Syrian Golan Heights annexed at the time.\n\nThe UN has offered to administer the territory pending a settlement.\n\n\"We will also seek how to develop the European observer mission at the Rafah border (between Gaza and Egypt) to guarantee better freedom of movement,\" the Italian sources said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "hopes", "start_char": 126, "end_char": 131, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "I_STATE", "pos": "VERB", "tense": "PRESENT",

available.\n\nSoccer's ruling body FIFA has already announced that World Cup 2014, although a formal vote to determine the tournament hosts will be made at the FIFA Congress in 2008.\n\nEven if China has no chance for 2014, any potential bid could pave the way for the Asian nation to host a later World Cup event.\n\nChina participated in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea for the first-time-ever, but failed to qualify for the 2006 edition in Germany.\n\nUnder FIFA's policy of rotating the World Cup between continents, South America is guaranteed the right to host the 2014 finals, and Brazil has long been regarded as the front-runner.\n\nArgentina and Chile could co-host the 2014 World Cup if Brazil was incapable of staging the greatest event in football, FIFA President Sepp Blatter was quoted as saying in April.\n\nChina is fast gaining a reputation as being able to hold major world sporting events ahead of Beijing's hosting of the 2008 Olympics.\n\nThe city has

some 2,000 children are drawn into child sex rings in Greece each year, adding that the Greek government must implement a national policy to protect the rights of minors.\n\n\"Greece has made significant progress in the area of human rights during the last decade, but this has to be continued, especially as far as children's rights are concerned,\" said Juan Miguel Petit, the special rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, quoted by the local English-language daily Kathimerini.\n\nConcluding a six-day trip to Greece, the UN official highlighted shortcomings in Greece's protection of minors, such as the conditions in which Gypsy children live near the center of Athens.\n\nThe district is to be redeveloped into a new football stadium as home to Athens Panathinakos club, despite concerns of human rights groups over the forced relocation of families living in the area.\n\nThe conditions children had to endure were unacceptable. Most of the 400 children who left Albania on their own last year ended up in Greece, often with the help of traffickers, Petit said.\n\nThe UN official recommended that the Albanian and Greek governments should cooperate more closely over the issue.\n\nHe also advised the creation of a central body that would oversee the creation of a coherent policy on children's rights in Greece, so the current overlapping between state organizations would be avoided.\n\nMeanwhile, Lambros Kanellopoulos, head of UNICEF's office in Greece, revealed that research had shown some 2,000 children are being sexually exploited by organized gangs in various parts of the country.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "warned", "start_char": 138, "end_char": 144, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

conflict\n\n\n\n\nUN envoy James Baker launches a fresh initiative on Western Sahara beginning Tuesday, in a bid to revive plans for a long-delayed political settlement for the disputed mineral-rich territory.\n\nBaker, who was named the personal envoy of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan for Western Sahara last month, made few predictions on what he hoped to achieve before his departure.\n\nDuring a visit here for consultations earlier this month, the former US secretary of state said it was premature to envisage changes to a UN peace plan providing for a referendum on the future of the territory claimed by both Morocco and the Algerian-backed Polisario Front.\n\nThe UN-proposed referendum would determine whether Western Sahara should become part of Morocco or an independent state.\n\nWith a UN-monitored ceasefire holding since 1991, a resolution to the conflict which has festered for 22 years since Spain's withdrawal from the territory has been put on the international community's back burner for the past year.\n\nDuring his mission, the 66-year-old Texan diplomat will hold talks with Moroccan and Polisario Front leaders and meet with officials in Algiers and in Nouakchott, the capital of neighboring Mauritania.\n\nUN spokesman Juan Carlos Brandt said Baker would make \"a fresh assessment of the situation\" during his mission, expected to last until the end of the month.\n\nWestern diplomats here said Monday that Baker could assess the chances of a resumption of direct talks between the Polisario Front and Morocco, which could move forward the peace process.\n\nHowever Morocco publicly insists that developments must take place within the framework of the UN peace plan.\n\nUN plans for the identification of voters in the referendum have been on hold for the past 12 months amid disagreements over who would be entitled to take part.\n\nPolisario stands by the 1974 census carried out by Spain, the former colonial ruler, fixing the number of Western Sahara voters at around 74,000. But Morocco wants to add tens of thousands of others who according to Moroccan officials fled the Spanish colony to seek refuge in Morocco.\n\n\"If there could be a resolution of this problem, there could be not just economic benefits for the region and for the parties, involved but political benefits as well,\" says Baker.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "launches",

eye care services in rural areas\n\n\n\n\nThe Myanmar health authorities have stressed the need for eye care services in the country especially in the rural areas where the majority of the blind exist, a state- run newspaper reported Friday.\n\nIt was emphasized at a conference of eye ophthalmologists which is underway, the New Light of Myanmar said.\n\nIn Myanmar, there are some major eye diseases in prevalence such as cataract, trachoma and vitamin-C deficiency which can cause loss of sight.\n\nMeanwhile, Myanmar has since 1999 launched a campaign aimed at bringing down the rate of avoidable blindness to less than 0.5 percent of its population as part of its efforts to eliminate such avoidable blindness by 2020 set by the World Health Organization.\n\nUnder a memorandum of understanding signed in 2003, a \"Vision Myanmar Program\" has also been established by the Myanamr health ministry and the Royal Adelaide Hospital of Australia to provide opportunities for Myanmar eye surgeons to receive post-graduate training at the Australian hospital.\n\nThe program provides for Australian specialists to visit Myanmar annually to conduct training at two eye hospitals in Yangon and Mandalay where about 7,000 to 1,200 surgical operations on eye patients are respectively carried out each year.\n\nIn fighting blindness, Myanmar has also since 1964 launched trachoma control and blindness program to tackle the problem of blindness and the incidence of trachoma is being brought down from 43 percent to less than 4 percent.\n\nOfficial statistics show that a total of 46,530 eye patients were cured under Mynamar's blindness control program which was implemented from 1989 to 1999. Of them 34,440 were cured of cataract and 12,090 cured of glaucoma.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "stressed", "start_char": 145, "end_char": 153, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

(AFP)\n\nQuit or we'll vote you out, Australian PM tells embattled senator\n\n\n\n\nAustralian Prime Minister John Howard warned Friday that embattled senate deputy president Mal Colston would be voted out if he does not resign amid deepening scandal by the May 6 resumption of parliament.\n\nHoward earlier this week bowed to intensifying pressure to dump the senator over fraudulent travel allowance claims and called for his resignation saying he had referred the allegations to police for investigation.\n\nBut the prime minister went a step further Friday and told a television chat show audience: \"I'm sure he'll be gone as deputy president before the senate resumes and if he's not we'll vote him out.\"\n\nHe also promised to change the rules for travelling allowances to make the system more transparent, adding he was \"quite serious\" about devising a system that is as fraud-proof as possible.\n\nClearly concerned about the damage the scandal appears to be causing the government, he said: \"I repeat, 99 percent of members of parliament on both sides are very honest, hardworking men and women.\"\n\nColston, whose Brisbane home has been besieged by media crews for two days, was taken to hospital late Thursday suffering from what doctors would describe only as \"a medical condition.\"\n\n\"Senator Colston has allowed me to make a statement that says he's here with a medical condition, and he's here to rest,\" a spokesman said.\n\nThe ex-Labor senator turned independent was appointed to the key senate job eight months ago as a reward for giving Howard's conservative coalition the majority it lacked in the upper house by quitting Labor and switching his vote.\n\nHoward's decision followed a statement by Colston staffer Christine Smith retracting earlier evidence accepting responsibility for almost 7,000 dollars (5,500 US) misclaimed for travel allowances \"due to sloppy bookingkeeping.\"\n\nColston had to repay the cash, which had been claimed for 43 nights in Canberra when he was actually at home in Brisbane.\n\nIt also emerged that he was forced in 1983 to repay more than 6,000 dollars misclaimed for charter air travel from a company owned by his wife, and in 1982 repaid nearly 4,200 in misclaimed travel expenses.\n\nThe Labor opposition and centrist Democrats, who along with a handful of independents hold the balance of power in the Senate, want Colston to resign from politics altogether -- which would rob Howard of his upper house majority.\n\nHoward refused for weeks to dump Colston, but explained Smith's new statement changed \"the basis on which the matter had been seen previously.\"\n\nThe prime minister's announcement came only hours after the government admitted fraud charges had also been laid against a government MP and a former government senator over similar alleged irregularities.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "warned", "start_char": 162, "end_char": 168,

2005\n\nSanta sacked for being too nice to children\n\n\n\n\nA British Santa got the sack and was booted out of his grotto by bouncers for spending too long chatting to children, a newspaper reported Saturday.\n\nIt was more \"Go! Go! Go!\" than \"Ho! Ho! Ho!\" for actor Alan Seymour, 57, who was told to clear off when he refused to stick to a strict 30-second time limit with each Santa-loving child, the Daily Mirror said.\n\nThe sessions cost 17.50 pounds (26 euros, 30.70 dollars) each. The actor was accused of losing customers because bored children were spending too long queuing up for the grotto.\n\nSeymour, complete with white beard and red suit, claims he was frogmarched out by the heavies as he got one sack more than he bargained for.\n\n\"There's no way it can be done in 30 seconds. People were complaining they didn't have long enough with Santa,\" he told the tabloid.\n\n\"Children were bringing me lists they had written. They also wanted to have their picture taken,\" he explained.\n\n\"I was hustled out by bouncers. It was very humiliating. I was trying to do my job as best I could for the children. They're being ripped off.\"\n\nSeymour's turn as Santa went up the chimney after just one hour at the Santa Land exhibition at Earl's Court in central London.\n\nPromoters Dreamtime Events said: \"He was taking about 10 minutes with each family. We find people would rather have a brief visit than spend hours in a queue.\"\n\nHowever, it seems the spirit of Christmas is not completely dead.\n\nThe firm claimed Seymour had been offered alternative Santa shifts in the region.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "got", "start_char": 110, "end_char": 113, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos":

to death at a school in east China.\n\nLocal education departments should conduct thorough inspections of corridors and stairways and check school buildings, canteens, dormitories and bathrooms, Education Minister Zhou Ji said Monday at a teleconference on the school administration.\n\nSix middle school students, five boys and a girl aged 12 and 13, died and 39 were injured in east China's Jiangxi Province on Saturday evening.\n\n\"The root of the accident lies in the school's faulty management,\" Zhou said. \"The accident has taught us a hard lesson, and exposed serious safety risks in schools.\"\n\nThe ministry would evaluate the work of school principals, who played a key role in safety and had ultimate responsibility for safety administration, Zhou said.\n\nPrincipals who failed to meet the standards of their posts would be demoted and those whose dereliction of duty or misconduct caused accidents will be seriously punished, he said.\n\nThe local government of Jiujiang City, where the tragedy occurred, appears to be holding the school responsible for the incident. The school principal has been detained by the local authorities.\n\nAccording to the ministry, China has more than 450,000 elementary and secondAcoordingary schools with more than 210 million students

Bush, who has withheld a wholesale endorsement of the report, is expected to announced a new Iraq policy early next year.\n\nGates, who was confirmed in his new job by an overwhelming 95-2 US Senate vote on December 7, is likely to be involved in shaping this new strategy, but how much exactly remains unknown.\n\n\"There are a lot of people who are going to be involved in the process,\" White House spokesman Tony Snow said evasively when asked on Friday about Gates's future role.\n\n\"But, ultimately,\" added the press secretary, the president \"is the one who has to make the important decisions.\"\n\nOptions under consideration reportedly include boosting the number of US soldiers in Iraq by between 20,000 and 50,000 to secure its chaotic capital, forge an alliance between moderate Iraqi Shiites and Sunnis at the expense of radicals on both sides, or even throwing the US lot with majority Shiites.\n\nBut advocates of the \"victory-still-possible\" approach received a bucketful of cold water Sunday from one of the chief architects of the allied victory in the 1991 Gulf War, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell.\n\nPowell, who later went on the become secretary of state when the United States invaded Iraq, said that \"we are losing\" the war because US troops have been unable to quell the insurgency and stave off sectarian violence.\n\n\"If victory means you have gotten rid of every insurgent, you have peace throughout the country, I don't see that in the cards right now,\" the retired general told CBS News.\n\nAnd he dismissed as unrealistic plans for throwing more troops into Iraq, arguing that \"the American army isn't large enough to secure Baghdad.\"\n\nSenate Democratic Leader Harry Reid for his part indicated he would be willing to support a troop increase only as a stop-gap measure tied to \"a program to get us out of there ... by this time next year.\"\n\nSupporters of sending more troops to Iraq, which also include Republican Senator John McCain, a potential 2008 presidential candidate, also face rising public opposition.\n\nA Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg opinion pull conducted on December 8-11 found that 59 percent of Americans believed that Bush should adopt the Iraq Study Group's recommendation of reducing American troops by early 2008.\n\nA similar survey conducted by ABC News and The Washington Post showed that only 17 percent of respondents supported the idea of boosting troop levels while 52 percent opposed it.\n\nSome of non-governmental policy experts, meanwhile, have come to the conclusion the United States has now simply run out of good options.\n\n\"US policy in Iraq must come to grip with two realities: Iraq is in a civil war, and Iraq is a failed state,\" Carlos Pascual and Kenneth Pollack,

Wednesday that would bar Hong Kong politicians from accepting funds from abroad after the territory reverts to China in July.\n\nHong Kong's pro-China leader in waiting, Tung Chee-hwa, \"is really the guilty party in this regard,\" Lee, in Washington as part of a 15-stop North American speaking and fundraising tour, told reporters here.\n\nLee also rejected any link between suspected Chinese efforts to funnel illicit donations last year to US congressional campaigns -- allegedly to influence US China policy -- and his own foreign fundraising for the Hong Kong Democratic Party.\n\nHong Kong's future government, unlike the US Congress, \"will have no say in defense and foreign affairs,\" Lee said, noting that his party will have no role in government after Beijing regains control of Hong Kong on July 1.\n\n\"They are so afraid of us ... because we have the support of the people of Hong Kong,\" the Democratic Party leader said. \"They will do anything to stop us.\"\n\nLee estimated that his own foreign fundraising efforts since March in Canada and the United States had netted 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars (about 320,000 dollars US).\n\nIn Hong Kong, Tung's office issued a \"consultation document\" arguing that Hong Kong faced a legal vacuum after the July 1 handover and was \"extremely vulnerable to external forces\" that required firm laws.\n\nThe paper proposed barring local political groups from \"financial assistance or loans of any kind\" from any alien or foreign organization, a reference that includes Taiwan individuals and groups, it said.\n\nIt also proposed empowering the government to outlaw parties based on national security considerations and the police to bar political ralllies.", "time_expressions": null,

warns US after Gingrich comments on Taiwan\n\n\n\n\nBeijing warned the United States Tuesday against interfering in Taiwan after US House of Representative speaker Newt Gingrich said Washington would defend the island against attacks from Beijing.\n\n\"The controversy between China and the United States on the Taiwan issue revolves around one point which is US interference,\" said Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Shen Guofang.\n\n\"The US government and the Congress have expressed their support for the 'one China' policy ... and we hope that the United States will keep its agreements,\" he added.\n\nGingrich said Sunday in Shanghai after meeting Wang Daohan, a top Chinese official on relations between China and Taiwan, that the United States would defend Taiwan if China launched a military assault to recover the island.\n\n\"We understand that in principle you will not renounce your right to use force. We want you to understand that we will defend Taiwan,\" Gingrich said.\n\n\"This is not waving a saber. It's just a reminder that it is in the scabbard and available,\" he added.\n\nShen reiterated China's hopes for a peaceful reunification with Taiwan, but warned: \"If the question of independence arises on the island or a foreign force interferes in Taiwan issues, we will be forced to adopt other necessary measures.\"\n\nHe also attacked Washington for its continued arms sales to Taipei.\n\n\"These give clear support and encouragement to separtist forces on the island and retards the process of peaceful reunification,\" he said.\n\nHowever, Gingrich then toned down his statements Tuesday when speaking to journalists in Tokyo and emphasized that Washington would stick to its 'one China' policy.\n\nNoting Chinese leaders had told him they would not resort to military force easily, Gingrich said: \"So, we wouldn't have to defend.\"\n\nGingrich is to pay a short visit to Taiwan Wednesday in which he is to meet with President Lee Teng-hui and Premier Lien Chan, a Taiwan presidential spokesman said Tuesday.\n\nThey are to discuss US-Taiwan relations, cross-strait ties and other issues of mutual interest, he said.\n\nTaiwan split from mainland China in 1949 when the defeated Nationalist government fled there after a bitter civil war.\n\nLast year, Beijing launched a series of intimidatory war games against the island, which ground to a halt when Washington dispatched two aircraft carriers to the region.\n\nWhile China says its policy towards Taiwan is eventual reunification, Shen refused to comment on reports over the weekend from Tokyo that Jiang would offer the post of vice-president to Taiwan's top official upon reunification.\n\n\"I also read these reports, but they were from the meeting between President Jiang and the Japanese foreign minister and I have nothing more to say about that,\" he said.\n\n\"What is more far more urgent is the organisation of high-level political meetings with Taiwan to resolve issues currently on ice. This would have positive effects on peaceful reunification,\" he added.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "warned", "start_char": 115, "end_char": 121, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

Bank\n\n\n\n\nA senior leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) was shot dead by Israeli troops in the West Bank town of Nablus early on Monday, Palestinian sources said.\n\nThe sources said Israeli troops backed by 15 military jeeps raided eastern Nablus early on Monday and Israeli soldiers stormed a building where Amjan Hannawi, commander of Hamas' armed wing Ezzel Dein al-Qassam Brigades in Nablus, was hiding.\n\nHannawi, 32, was shot in the head and died on the spot when he tried to flee the building, the sources added.\n\nMeanwhile, the Israeli army confirmed the killing, saying that Hannawi is one of the most wanted Palestinian militants, who is believed to have masterminded several suicide bombings in Israel in the 1990s.\n\nIn addition, eight other suspected Hamas militants were also arrested during the raid, the army added.\n\nAl-Qassam Brigades vowed revenge in a statement.\n\nA few hours after the incident, a Palestinian was killed and at least two others wounded by Israeli troops' gunfire in the Gaza Strip.\n\nMonday's violence has cast pall over a visit to the region by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to revive the stalled peace process.\n\nIsrael has stepped up raids and targeted killings of Palestinian militants since a suicide bomb attack killed six Israelis in a seaside city last month.\n\nThe recent worsening of violence has dampened peace hopes ignited by the Israel Gaza withdrawal in September.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "shot", "start_char": 181, "end_char": 185, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

The United Nations says women\n and children make up about seventy-five percent of the Afghan population. An Afghan\n refugee in Switzerland, Homira Atimadi, is a senior official of a group called the\n International Working Group on Afghan Women. The group has branches in\n Pakistan, Iran, Europe, Australia, and North America. Ms. Atimadi says\n Afghan women have been victims of severe violations of human rights for the past twenty\n years and she says she sees no end to the misery. She says security under\n the fundamentalist Taleban government is better, but everything else is worse.\n\n\n Women do not become victims of armed attack, but they do not have the\n right to work. And today, the right to work is equal to r- the right to survival.\n\n\n Ms. Atimadi says the war has created a nation of widows. Women have become\n the sole support of their families. Yet, the Taliban have forbidden them to\n work. She says this puts the very existence of women's families at risk.\n She says the plight of women in urban areas is greater than that which exists\n in rural parts of the country. In cities, such as the capital Kabul, women\n are totally dependent on international aid for survival. Ms. Atimadi says the\n women of Kabul symbolize the suffering of all the women in Afghanistan.\n\n\n The aim is to bring in not only the focus on women's right to education,\n access to work, but look beyond that and look at the roots of, uh of these\n problems. These are only the symptoms of the problems that are facing\n Afghanistan. For women in Afghanistan to be able to realize their rights,\n there have to be conditions of peace and justice.\n\n\n Ms. Atimadi says that is the primary focus of her group, peace and\n justice. She says her group is appealing to individuals, to the international\n community, and to the combatants and people of Afghanistan to stop the\n bloodletting which has torn the country apart.\n Lisa

Thus, The Sun on Friday warned that Romanian immigrants could spark a tuberculosis outbreak in Great Britain, a country where this plague was long before eradicated.\n\nBefore this article, The Sun

toll in north China colliery gas blast rises to 40\n\n\n\n\nThe death toll from a colliery blast in north China last week has risen to 40 while seven people remain missing, rescuers confirmed on Tuesday.\n\nSearch and rescue teams found five more bodies on Tuesday in the Jiaojiazhai Colliery in Xinzhou, a city in the central northern area of Shanxi Province, where a gas explosion occurred at 11:45 a.m. on Nov. 5.\n\nThe death toll stood at 35 on Monday.\n\nAltogether 393 miners were working in the pit when the blast occurred, of whom 346 escaped.\n\nSearch and rescue efforts are continuing though rescuers believe the remaining seven miners have little chance of survival, given the high intensity of toxic gas and serious cave-ins following the blast.\n\nFamilies of the dead will each receive 200,000 yuan (25,000 U.S. dollars) in compensation. Seven families have been compensated so far.\n\nJiaojiazhai Colliery is owned by Xuangang Coal and Electricity Company under the Datong Coal Mine Group.\n\nThe State Council, the cabinet, set up an investigation team on Friday to investigate the tragedy.\n\nThough the direct cause is still under investigation, the central government task force said it probably stemmed from ignorance of workplace safety and poor management.\n\nThe gas monitoring system showed that the gas concentration was abnormal and that there was a risk of explosion, according to a report from the State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS) released on Monday.\n\nBut the production managers did not take effective measures and did not order the miners to stop working, the report said.\n\nLi Yizhong, the SAWS head who is heading the task force, vowed to severely punish the individuals and company responsible for the accident, and urged all coal mine owners in the country to learn a lesson.\n\nCoal mine accidents have claimed 104 lives from Nov. 5 to Nov. 13, according to the SAWS' report.\n\nAnalysts said the accidents were a warning of a possible surge of coal mine disasters as the demand for black coal rises in winter.\n\nIn October, the number of coal mine accidents surged by 26.1 percent over September. The number of miners killed rose by 44.4 percent.\n\nThe \"infinite greed\" of some mine owners, driven by the growing demand of the winter coal market, was the ultimate cause of the disasters, said Wu Jianming, professor with Taiyuan University of Science and Technologies.\n\n\"Winter is hell for miners. Some of the small, hazardous mines that have been closed will probably resume production in the winter regardless of the threat to life,\" said Wu, who also works for the State Administration of Work Safety as a consultant.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "blast", "start_char": 149, "end_char": 154, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "NOUN",

to the needs of athletes and officials, but also to more than 4,500 journalists from all over the world, including their palates.\n\n\"A big Thank You to the organizers, who provide delicious food in the Main Press Center,\" said Chinese reporter Xue Jianying, who has covered five Asian Games and as many Summer Olympics.\n\n\"The organizers are hospitable,\" he added.\n\nThe organizers offer two meals to the journalists each day, one breakfast in hotels and one in the Main Media Center, where an international buffet is served during the Games.\n\nThe buffet offers Arabian, Asian, continental and sub- continental dishes including salads, cheeses, cold cuts, pastries, fresh fruits, breads, preserves, cereals and beverages.\n\n\"I'd rather say that I have the best food in a sports meet after covering so many events,\" said another Chinese reporter Yang Ming.\n\n\"It is out of my expectation,\" said Yang's colleague Pan Yi. \" After talking to the catering service manager, I know that there are 1,200 dishes on the menu, which means that the journalists will have different food for at least one week.\"\n\nAthletes will enjoy more variety of fine cuisine.\n\nSun Yi, a Chinese reporter with Legal Mirror, wrote that he was impressed by the 4,800-seat dining hall and 5,000 different dishes.\n\n\"I spent 10 months on making the menu. I am sure from the opening of the Athletes' Village to its closing, the daily menu will not repeat at all,\" chef Chen Zhida, a Chinese Singaporean, was quoted by Sun.\n\nIt seems that the organizers have determined to give all participants the best taste of the Games.\n\n\"The organizing committee has employed a Master Caterer with extensive international and Olympic experience to work with us, to plan, liaise and deliver all catering requirements for the Games,\" said Yousef M Al Othman, Deputy Director General of the Doha organizing committee.\n\n\"The menus will not only meet the diverse cultural needs of our multi-national participants, but will also look at their vegetarian and medical considerations.\n\n\"We are aware of the athletes' culinary likes and dislikes, thanks to extensive research already done.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "deliver", "start_char": 120, "end_char": 127, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos":

and called for legal action to be taken against the killers.\n\nThe call came five days after a German court implicated Iranian leaders in the killing of four Iranian Kurd opposition figures in a Berlin restaurant in 1982.\n\nA motion presented by the Netherlands representing the European Union called on Tehran to \"refrain from violence against members of the Iranian opposition living abroad.\"\n\nPassed by 26 votes to 7 with 19 abstentions, it also urged Tehran to cooperate with the authories of countries investigating the killings.\n\nTurning to the death sentence, or fatwa, issued by the Iranian authorities against British author Salman Rushdie for his allegedly blasphemous novel \"The Satanic Verses,\" the Commission demanded that Iran \"provide satisfactory written assurances that it does not support or incite threats to the life of Mr Rushdie.\"\n\nIt deplored a recent decision by an Iranian foundation to increase the reward offered to an eventual killer of Rushdie from 2 million to 2.5 million dollars.\n\nLast Thursday an Iranian and a Lebanese were given life sentences by a Berlin court after being convicted of the assassination of four Iranian Kurd opposition figures on the direct orders of the Iranian regime.\n\nThe presiding judge said \"the background (to the killings) reaches to the highest levels of the Iranian state.\"",

And it was necessary because militants, terrorists created a training center,\" he said.\n\nHe supported Pakistan's policy to engage tribal elders to establish peace in the tribal region.\n\n\"Certainly our hope is that these areas can be more peaceful through combination of political steps, economic steps, political influence of people in the areas, the tribal leaders and others,\" Boucher said.\n\n\"But we also recognize there are militants and fighters in these areas. They need to be dealt with by other means,\" he said.\n\nBoucher ruled out any change in American policy after the mid- term polls.\n\n\"We want a long-term partnership with Pakistan,\" he said.\n\nBoucher met President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Tuesday and discussed with them bilateral and regional matters.\n\nHe also met Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri, Foreign Secretary and other senior officials from the foreign ministry as well as people from business community.\n\nHe said the United States is working together with the government of Pakistan for economic opportunities for the people who are living in the border areas.\n\nAsked if Pakistan is doing enough in the war on terror as media in the United States is critical to Pakistan's role, he said it does not reflects facts.\n\n\"Pakistan is a key ally in war on terror. The extremism, the violence, we are fighting against is the same violence threatening the people and the government of Pakistan as well as people in the neighborhood,\" he said.\n\n\"So we have common interests along with others in this region. If any body says it is enough, to me the question does not make any sense. None of us has done enough. We have to keep battle,\" Boucher said.\n\n\"This is strategic struggle for the future of this region. The future of this nation,\" he said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "visiting", "start_char": 131, "end_char": 139, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE",

up with a firm commitment to help African cotton producers, who count as some of the poorest countries on earth, the Group of 20 said Tuesday.\n\nThe G-20, which comprises developed countries and the largest emerging economies, said problems faced by African cotton producers reflect distortions in global trade of agricultural goods.\n\n\"The plight of the African cotton producing countries and of other cotton producers in the developing world is evidence of the distortions in agriculture that we are committed to eliminate,\" the G-20 said in a statement;\n\n\"The G-20 ministers emphasise the need for a firm commitment to be made at Hong Kong to address the issue of cotton ambitiously.\"\n\nThe WTO meeting in Hong Kong, which opens later Tuesday, is tasked with keeping on track the faltering four-year-old Doha Round meant to tear down global trade barriers and spur growth in the world's poorest nations.\n\nThe key issue is farm trade, mainly the system of European and US subsidies which they say they will only surrender in exchange for a deal opening up markets in the developed world to their industrial goods and services.\n\nAfrica's cotton-producing countries have been on the offensive in the run-up to the meeting, insisting that rich countries, and the United States in particular, end subsidies to their cotton farmers.\n\nThe African states say such subsidies depress prices globally and effectively shut them out of what should be major markets, undercutting their development efforts.\n\nAsked earlier Tuesday whether Washington would be willing to come to an agreement on cotton here, US Trade Representative Rob Portman said: \"In July 2004 we agreed to deal with cotton expeditiously, ambitiously and specifically, within the framework of the agricultural negotiations.\n\n\"If we can resolve something this week with regards to cotton, that would be great,\" he said, without elaborating.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions":

decision to lower the prices of commodities such as sugar, industry insiders have said.\n\nLovemore Sievu, Zambia Sugar corporate affairs manager, was cited by Tuesday's The Post as saying the planned move by the EU which is expected take effect next year would likely reduce the company's export receipts by as much as 40 percent.\n\nZambian President Levy Mwanawasa also complained during the just-ended Commonwealth summit in the Mediterranean island country Malta that price reduction would translate into reducing the standard of living for the people in countries like Zambia which are main providers of such commodities.\n\nSievu said the company was also affected by the constant appreciation of the local currency kwacha against the US dollar, of which the devaluation entails that the value of each unit of sugar exported is lower when converted into kwacha.\n\nTrade Network of Zambia coordinator Stephen Muyakwa said the recent announcement by the EU would be disadvantageous to producers in countries such as Zambia.\n\nHe said it would be very unfair especially for small-scale farmers who were selling their produce to companies like Zambia Sugar.\n\nMuyakwa thus urged the EU to come up measures to cushion the effects of the reduction so as to enable those affected countries to become more efficient in the production of sugar and other commodities.\n\n\"We also need support to enable us develop capacity to diversify to other commodities such as beef so that we can compete favorably on the market,\" Muyakwa was quoted as saying.\n\nDuring the summit, President Mwanawasa also called upon the EU to remove subsidies on agricultural commodities in favor of developing countries like Zambia.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "dealt",

bars\n\n\n\n\nby Xinhua writer Tian Sulei\n\nBEIJING, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Karaoke bars in China's main cities will have to pay 12 yuan (1.50 U.S. dollars) a day in royalties to music artists for each room, according to a new regulation set by China's National Copyright Administration.\n\nA statement on the administration's website said royalties would first be collected in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou on a trial basis. The practice will gradually be widened to cover other cities, with the payment rate varying according to local economic conditions.\n\nThe move is another measure China has taken to improve its copyright protection in response to increasing pressure and is deemed vital in encouraging innovation.\n\nThe China Audio and Video Association has been designated as the temporary agent to collect the royalties for music being played in karaoke bars. This function will be taken over by an association for the collective management of audio and video copyrights after it is granted official approval by the government.\n\nKaraoke bars in China generally range from several rooms to more than 100 rooms.\n\nLiu Wenhe, who is working to establish audio and video copyright association, said the charges collected from the karaoke bars will be paid to music producers, song writers and music companies.\n\n\"We will leave our foreign counterparts to handle payments to foreign companies and individuals,\" said Liu.\n\nHe said a special team will be established to start collecting the fees from karaoke bars, possibly before the end of this year.\n\nThe Chinese government's efforts in combating piracy and protect intellectual property rights (IPR) has resulted in more shops and restaurants signing up to pay royalties on the ubiquitous background music that had long been used for free.\n\nStandard international practice requires public venues to obtain permission and pay royalties for background music, according to China Music Copyright Protection Association (CMCPA).\n\nMore than 5,000 companies in China have signed up, including McDonald's, KFC, Wal-Mart, and Carrefour.

Okinawa\n\n\n\n\nThe US Air Force on Thursday expressed \"sincere regrets\" about the alleged assault of a 28-year-old local woman in Okinawa by a US servicemen who has been arrested this week.\n\nJapanese police announced Wednesday that Air Force sergeant Danny Matlock, stationed at the Kadena base on the southern Japanese island, had been arrested for the Monday attack.\n\n\"The commander of the 353rd SOG (Special Operations Group) expressed his sincere regrets about this incident,\" the US Air Force said in a statement.\n\nThe statement was issued hours before Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto's scheduled departure for the United States, where he will hold a summit with President Bill Clinton in Washington on Friday.\n\n\"The Air Force Office of Special Investigations and base officials are assisting in the investigation with the Okinawa City Police,\" the statement said.\n\nNo further details are available, it said, adding: \"The incident is still under investigation.\"\n\nThe Jiji Press news agency said he was alleged to have entered the woman's room through a second-floor window and assaulted her but escaped when she screamed.\n\nThe rape of a 12-year-old girl by three US servicemen triggered anti- US base protests on the island in 1995, leading to a US pledge last year to return some 20 percent of Okinawan land used by the US military.\n\nThe US forces in Japan also vowed to tighten discipline among its personnel following the rape.\n\nThe southern island prefecture is home to more than half of the 47,000 American troops in Japan and also accounts for about 75 percent of US military facilities on the entire archipelago.\n\nJapanese parliament passed legislation last week allowing the US military to keep using land in Okinawa despite protest from landowners and their supporters.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "expressed", "start_char": 156, "end_char": 165, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1",

///\n\n\n\n\nA Chinese journalist jailed for nearly eight years after exposing government corruption said Tuesday after being released early for good behavior that he should never have been sent to prison.\n\n\"I have mixed feelings,\" Gao Qinrong, 51, who was sentenced to 13 years in jail in 1999, told AFP by telephone about how he felt to finally be free.\n\n\"I'm very excited and happy to see my wife and daughter again after eight years ... on the other hand I feel angry and indignant.\"\n\nGao, a journalist for the official Xinhua news agency, was jailed on what media rights groups have said were trumped up charges of corruption and pimping after he accused officials in northern China's Shanxi province of graft.\n\nHis expose about a sham irrigation project was reported in the Communist Party's main newspaper, the People's Daily, and made television news bulletins, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.\n\nBut instead of the officials being held to account, Gao was jailed.\n\nHe maintained Tuesday that he was innocent and that he would continue trying to clear his name, although he held out little hope.\n\n\"I plan to appeal ... but I think this anti-corruption issue is very difficult. My hopes are dim but I will continue struggling.\"\n\nGao said he was not treated badly in jail because authorities also knew he had been set up.\n\n\"When I was in prison, every officer and prisoner knew that I was innocent through media reports, so I was treated well there,\" he said from his home in Shanxi.\n\nGao was released on December 7 after getting his term reduced for \"good behaviour\", Reporters Without Borders said in an earlier statement.\n\n\"We are delighted at his release but it is important to point out that this journalist has already spent eight years of his life in prison,\" the international media rights group said.\n\n\"Gao Qinrong, who was unfairly sentenced to a very harsh prison term, has already paid very dearly for his work as a journalist investigating the corruption which is poisoning China.\"\n\nThe group also highlighted the plight of 31 other reporters it says are languishing in Chinese jails for simply carrying out their work.\n\nThe group ranks China 163rd out of 167 countries on its global press freedom index.\n\nIn one of the most high-profile cases recently, Zhao Yan, 44, a Chinese assistant for the New York Times, lost his appeal on December 1 against a three-year sentence on what his family said were trumped up fraud charges.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "jailed", "start_char": 123, "end_char":

plans for a huge pop concert next year to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of their mother Diana, princess of Wales.\n\nThe charity \"Concert for Diana\" -- featuring Sir Elton John among others -- is due to be held at the currently unfinished new Wembley Stadium on July 1, which would have been her 46th birthday.\n\nIn a rare interview, William, 24, and Harry, 22, also said a memorial service would take place in London on August 31 -- exactly 10 years on from the princess's death in a Paris car crash.\n\nTop acts from Britain and the United States are expected to perform at the concert before up to 90,000 fans, with the event likely to be televised live worldwide.\n\nThe acts are chosen by the princes, with many reflective of their late mother's tastes.\n\n\"It's to remember her and to commemorate her life and celebrate it,\" William said. \"We want it to represent exactly what our mother would have wanted, how she was.\n\n\"We wanted to have this big concert, full of energy, full of the sort of fun and happiness which I know she would have wanted.\n\n\"And on her birthday as well, it's got to be the best birthday present she ever had.\"\n\nJohn, who performed at Diana's funeral, will play, as will the princess's favourite band Duran Duran.\n\nSingers Bryan Ferry and Joss Stone, plus US rapper Pharrell Williams will also appear as will further acts yet to be announced.\n\nDiana's love of musicals and dancing will also be recognised with a performance by the English National Ballet while composer Andrew Lloyd Webber will put on a medley of songs from his stage shows.\n\nHarry said he and his brother would likely appear at the start.\n\nRoyals and Diana's relatives will attend the memorial service in a rare show of unity.\n\n\"The service is going to include both sides of the family, our mother's side and our father's side -- everyone getting together,\" Harry said.\n\nDiana's brother Earl Charles Spencer ruffled feathers at her funeral by vowing his family would ensure the princes were not confined to stuffy royal circles.\n\nBut Spencer and his sisters are to attend, along with Queen Elizabeth II, Diana's former husband Prince Charles, and his second wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. The pair had an affair while Charles and Diana were still married.\n\nDiana married Charles, the heir to the throne, in July 1981 and was a hugely popular member of Britain's royal family. The couple separated in December 1992 and divorced in August 1996.\n\nDiana was killed in a Paris car crash in August 1997 along with her boyfriend Dodi Fayed and his chauffeur Henri Paul.\n\nA long-awaited report into Diana's death will confirm a French probe that it was an accident and refute theories of a plot by British intelligence, news leaks said Sunday.\n\nThe new Wembley Stadium in northwest London has run vastly over-budget and been repeatedly delayed. The 757-million-pound (1.5-billion-dollar, 1.1-billion-euro) venue is now scheduled to open in May.\n\nTickets costing 45 pounds (88 dollars, 67 euros) go on sale from 0900 GMT Wednesday via the

Julius Chan expressed his dismay at the military's breakdown in discipline, command and control five months before the Papua New Guinea Defence Force (PNGDF) staged a revolt in March, a commission of inquiry was told here Tuesday.\n\nChan's concern followed the killings on September 8 last year of 12 soldiers at Kangu Beach care centre in Bougainville, scene of a long- running civil war.\n\nJustice Warwick Andrew is holding an inquiry into the hiring of mercenaries to fight in Bougainville, prompted by sacked PNGDF commander Brigadier General Jerry Singirok who led the revolt by calling for Chan's resignation.\n\nChan \"stepped aside\" pending the outcome of the inquiry.\n\nSingirok threatened to walk out of the hearing earlier Tuesday if he was questioned over a political assassination.\n\nThe inquiry was also told of a US embargo on the sale of military helicopters to PNG and of concern that a large slice of 10 million kina (7.2 million US dollars) allocated for a military operation was used to furnish Singirok's home.\n\nSingirok was questioned by Marshall Cooke, counsel for the PNG State, over Operation High Speed 2, conducted last July in Bougainville to knock out the Bougainville Revolutionary Army (BRA).\n\nCooke produced a letter Chan wrote on October 31 to Defence Minister Mathias Ijape which described High Speed as a fiasco which reflected a \"lack of proper planning and coordination by the principal staff officers.\" \"The Kangu massacre was clear evidence of the total breakdown in command and control from the Headquarters PNGDF right down to the lower echelon of command and control on Bougainville operations and I fear and hope that this is not the same throughout the force,\" Chan wrote.\n\n\"The Kangu massacre and the latest capture of three soldiers continues to highlight the serious breakdown of discipline, command and control.\"\n\nSingirok told the inquiry the breakdown was \"a direct reflection on the lack of support, lack of direction by our politicians.\" He rejected responsibility for the deaths.\n\nThe commission also heard a preliminary audit of High Speed spending had found 39,335 kina had been spent on curtains and carpets, 10,875 kina for furnishings and 45,000 kina for cutlery at Flag House, the commander's official residency. Also spent was 13,963 kina for overseas travel and 28,000 kina on two parties.\n\nEvidence produced Tuesday showed the US State Department turned down a request from the PNGDF to supply them with 10 surplus US military Iroquois for 240,000 US dollars each.\n\nIn the end the country agreed a deal with the mercenary company Sandline International, which included two Mil-17 former Soviet transport helicopters and two Mil-21 attack helicopters.\n\nCooke raised the issue of the gunning down of Bougainville provincial premier Theodore Miriung on October 12 last year.\n\nA coroner's inquiry found elements of the PNGDF carried out the killing.\n\nCooke asked Singirok whether he was cooperating with the police investigation.\n\n\"All the way,\" Singirok replied.\n\n\"I will advise the commission that because the issue of the killing of Miriung is still under police investigation, I do not wish to make any comment. If I am probed I will leave the court room,\" Singirok said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "expressed", "start_char": 172, "end_char": 181, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1",

Philippine gov't\n\n\n\n\nThe talks about the term limit of president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo are premature, government officials said on Wednesday, in response to reports saying Arroyo agreed to hold elections for a new parliamentary government in 2007.\n\nThe issue of term limit would depend on the transitory provisions of the amended constitution to be ratified by congress as well as the recommendations of the consultative commission, presidential spokesman Ignacio Bunye said in a radio interview.\n\nHowever, Bunye said that the proposal to shorten the president' s term would be covered by the amended constitution. \"The congress must amend the constitution before we proceed to other matters,\" he added.\n\nEarlier Wednesday, a report quoted an unnamed source as saying that Arroyo made the commitment to former president Fidel Ramos and house speaker Jose de Venecia during a private meeting Monday.\n\nBunye neither confirmed nor denied the story.\n\nIn a press briefing Wednesday afternoon, executive secretary Eduardo Ermita reiterated Arroyo's support of charter change, saying she believes it is the solution to the political crisis.\n\nArroyo has tasked the consultative commission to submit its recommendation of charter change by Dec. 15, Ermita said.\n\nThe proposed amendment may render power to a prime minister as the head of the executive branch,

`Dramatic Success'\n ---\n Troops Meet Little Resistance\n But Allied Forces Face\n Political, Military Risks\n ---\n Long Columns of Iraqi POWs\n ----\n By Gerald F. Seib\n Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal\n\n\n02/25/91\n\n\nWALL STREET JOURNAL (J), PAGE A1\n\n\n MDEST EUROP FREST\n\n\nEXECUTIVE (EXE)\nDEFENSE DEPARTMENT (DEF)\nSTATE DEPARTMENT (STD)\n\n\n WASHINGTON -- With the ground battle to liberate Kuwait\nproceeding with surprising speed and success, Bush\nadministration officials are optimistic the Persian Gulf war\ncan begin winding down in a matter of days.\n The enormous ground offensive by U.S. Marines and Army\ntroops, at least during its first 24 hours, met only sporadic\nIraqi resistance as it quickly penetrated deep into Kuwait\nand parts of Iraq, military officials said. According to\npress pool reports, U.S. Marines are already on the outskirts\nof Kuwait City.\n\n\n \"So far, the offensive is progressing with dramatic\nsuccess,\" said a buoyant Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander\nof U.S. forces. Similarly, while cautioning about the\nuncertainty of early battle reports, White House spokesman\nMarlin Fitzwater said late yesterday that \"the operation has been very successful.\" Amid reports that thousands of Iraqi\nsoldiers had surrendered, administration aides were also\nupbeat in private, with one even talking of victory within a\nweek.\n But even continued military success carries political and\ndiplomatic risks for President Bush and the U.S. The allied\nrejection of the last-minute Soviet-led diplomatic effort to avoid the ground war enabled Mr. Bush to seize the initiative\nfrom an Iraq seemingly bent on dictating peace terms. But it\nhas offended some, especially in Arab countries, who now believe that Mr. Bush's real objectives are the demise of\nSaddam Hussein and the destruction of the Iraqi military, not\njust the liberation of Kuwait.\n \"Why have a war?\" asked Abdul Latif Shekar, a customs\nofficer in Egypt, a country participating in the attack on\nIraqi troops. \"I think the Gorbachev plan was a good one.\nIraq was ready to withdraw.\" Now, he says, \"it looks like the\nWest just wants to destroy Iraq.\"\n Despite the early indications of success, the allied\nforces could still suffer greater casualties and become\nbogged down militarily , especially when they encounter the\ntough Republican Guard, which is entrenched along the\nIraq-Kuwait border. If so, and if it appears that the\nAmerican goal actually is to destroy the Iraqi regime even at\nthe cost of badly hurting Iraqi society, \"the lingering cost\nof that could be high,\" worries former national security\nadviser Zbigniew Brzezinski. But, he notes, \"If everything\ncrumbles totally, that won't be such a problem.\"\n American officials staunchly disavow any interest in\ndriving through Iraq toward Baghdad, either in pursuit of\nSaddam Hussein himself or to set up some American-controlled\ngovernment inside Iraq. The Americans say their battle plans\ncall for operating against forces inside Iraq as far north as\nthe city of Basra, about 30 miles north of Kuwait, but say\nthere is n't any plan to drive beyond that.\n Indeed, French President Francois Mitterrand said\nyesterday that some allied forces are crossing Iraqi\nterritory as part of a \"pincer\" movement to trap the soldiers\noccupying Kuwait, but insisted, \"The purpose isn't to invade\nIraqi territory, that's not the aim, that isn't the mandate.\"\n Nevertheless, American officials over the weekend became\nmore open in declaring that by destroying Saddam Hussein's\nmilitary machine they hope to destroy his regime -- a goal\nlikely to be supported by most Americans.\n In a pre-attack message, Lt. Gen. Walter Boomer, the top\nMarine in the Persian Gulf, told U.S. Marines that their goal\nis to \" restore {Kuwait} to its citizens.\" He went on to add\nthat \"in so doing you not only return a nation to its people,\nbut you will destroy the war machine of a ruthless dictator.\"\n Secretary of State James Baker said on ABC-TV's \"This Week\nWith David Brinkley\" that the series of United Nations\nresolutions condemning Iraq's invasion of Kuwait \"imply that\nthe restoration of peace and stability in the Gulf would be a\nheck of a lot easier if he and that leadership were not in\npower in Iraq.\"\n Of course, it is still far too early to assume that the\nmilitary situation on the ground will stay as smooth for\nallied forces as it appears to have been so far. Iraq still\nhas the potential to cause significant problems by using\nforces and weapons that don't yet seem fully engaged.\n For one thing, Iraq still apparently has n't unleashed its\nstockpile of chemical weapons. Gen. Schwarzkopf said that\nsome early reports that chemical weapons were used against\nallied troops turned out to be \"bogus.\" Iraq is believed to have the ability to deliver chemical weapons in artillery\nshells or, perhaps, atop Soviet-made Frog7 missiles.\n Perhaps more important, it appears that allied troops\nhave n't yet fully engaged Iraq's vaunted Republican Guard,\nwhich has been sitting just north of the Iraq-Kuwait border\nand is considered the most potent element in the Iraqi\ndefense. It remains to be seen how much damage the allied air\ncampaign was able to inflict on the Guard, and whether\nPresident Hussein will commit his most valued troops to a\nfight-to-the-death finish.\n Certainly Saddam Hussein continues to implore his country\nto fight on. \"Fight them,\" he urged Iraqis in a radio\naddress. \"All Iraqis, fight them with all the power you have,\nand all struggle for everything.\"\n American war planners have long assumed that the early\nstage of the ground attack, in which American forces would use their speed to sweep around Iraqi defenses and their\nstrength to punch through the relatively weak Iraqi front\nline, would be the easiest part.\n Despite these early successes, the mere fact that a ground\ncampaign has begun almost guarantees that the Bush\nadministration will face fresh problems growing out of the\nmilitary situation. There are likely to be additional\nAmerican prisoners of war taken, and there are signs that\nPresident Hussein is taking Kuwaiti hostages. U.S. and\nKuwaiti officials say there are reports that large numbers of\ncivilians from Kuwait City are being rounded up and held by\nIraqi troops, apparently either for use as human shields or\nfor use later in bargaining once the war is over.\n President Bush's political argument for going to a ground\nwar has been strengthened by the growing stream of reports of\nwanton Iraqi destruction inside Kuwait. U.S. officials say\nthat hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells now may have been set afire. And Robert Gates, Mr. Bush's deputy national security\nadviser, asserted in an interview on the Cable News Network\nthat Iraqi troops have set fire to \"large sections\" of Kuwait\nCity.\n Mr. Bush and his aides were leaning toward a military\nconclusion of the crisis even before the latest reports of\nIraqi atrocities in Kuwait came to light. The president and\nhis top aides tentatively decided on Feb. 11 that a ground\nwar would be necessary. The decision was made after Defense\nSecretary Dick Cheney and Gen. Colin Powell, chairman of the\nJoint Chiefs of Staff, returned from a visit with military\ncommanders in Saudi Arabia, administration officials say.\nThen, a week or so ago, Gen. Schwarzkopf secretly picked\nSaturday night as the optimal time to start the offensive.\n The date was unaffected by the last-ditch Soviet peace\ninitiative. The real problem with the Soviet proposals, U.S.\nofficials now say, was that they all would have required\nlifting economic sanctions against Iraq. The Bush\nadministration considers the sanctions essential to keeping\nSaddam Hussein under control should he survive the war.\n Mr. Bush forestalled further diplomatic maneuvering by\nissuing an ultimatum on behalf of the allies demanding that\nIraq withdraw within a week, starting at noon Saturday.\nAdministration aides said that the idea of the ultimatum was\nGen. Powell's. He argued setting an explicit deadline for\nSaddam Hussein to break would, when it was broken, give the\nU.S. military a clear green light to proceed.\n In setting out his final challenge to Saddam Hussein, Mr.\nBush continued the intensive personal diplomacy he began\nafter the invasion llast August. After cabling world leaders\nabout his intention to give Saddam Hussein a final deadline\nto exit Kuwait, he offered him a week to withdraw fully , instead of the four days he originally considered, because of\nobjections from some European partners that four days seemed\npunitive and unrealistic.\n And when he and President Gorbachev spoke about the\ndecision in a talk lasting nearly an hour, the President took\npains to listen to what his counterpart had to say, although\nhe already had decided that the Soviet alternative to the\nallied deadline was unacceptable.\n Finally, when Iraq failed to respond to the U.S.\nultimatum, Mr. Bush let the ground offensive begin as\npreviously planned Saturday night.\n The attack was lightning quick, as allied forces punched\nthrough tall sand berms on the border and pushed forward into\nIraq and Kuwait. U.S. Marines were said to have breached\ntroublesome mine fields along the Iraqi lines but Pentagon\nofficials said no amphibious assault on Kuwait's beaches had begun. Long columns of Iraqi prisoners of war could be seen\ntrudging through the desert toward the allied rear. U.S.\ncommanders said 5,500 Iraqi prisoners were taken in the first\nhours of the ground war, though some military officials later said the total may have climbed above 8,000.\n The U.S. hopes its troops will drive Iraqi forces out of\nKuwait quickly , leaving much of Iraq's offensive military\nequipment destroyed or abandoned in Kuwait. It expects that\ntens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers will surrender to the\nU.S. and its allies over the the next few days.\n If the allies succeed, Saddam Hussein will have plunged\nhis country first into a fruitless eight-year-long war\nagainst Iran and then into a humiliating war against the U.S.\nand the allies to defend his conquest of Kuwait, leaving much\nof his country's military establishment and modern\ninfrastructure in ruins.\n Meanwhile, the U.S. hopes, economic sanctions and an\ninternational arms embargo will remain in effect until Iraq\npays war reparations to Kuwait to cover war damages. That\nwould undermine any chances of rebuilding either Iraq or its\narmed forces in short order as long as Saddam Hussein remains\nin power. The American hope is that someone from within Iraq,\nperhaps from the army's professional ranks, will step forward\nand push Saddam Hussein aside so that the country can begin\nrecovering from the disaster.\n Outside analysts think Saddam Hussein's position is indeed\nprecarious. \"I think frankly Saddam is finished, no matter\nwhat happens,\" says Christine Helms, a Middle East scholar\nwho has written extensively about Iraq. \"These guys simply do n't retire to condos over the Euphrates.\"\n Despite the lack of any obvious successors, the Iraqi\nleader's internal power base appeared to be narrowing even\nbefore the war began. Some analysts say he appeared to be relying on a smaller and smaller circle of close advisers and\nrelatives. If that's true, the narrowing of his support would make it easier for someone to push him aside from within.\n Yet, paradoxically, the perception that the U.S. wants to destroy Iraq may increase Saddam Hussein's support within the\nIraqi military. And the U.S. now will face sharper questions\nin the Arab world since it did n't back the peace proposals\nworked out in Moscow. \"We looked to the United States, we\nexpected you to have the moral edge,\" says Nasser Tahboub, a\nJerusalem-born Jordanian who has an American wife and a\ndoctorate in political science from Duke University. \"Now we\nsee that edge eroded. For me, it is a great tragedy. For the\nfirst time in history, the U.S. has gone to war with an Arab\nand Muslim nation, and we know a peaceful solution was in\nreach.\"\n ---\n Geraldine Brooks in Amman, Jordan, and Craig Forman

stunned Asian champion China 68-60 to reach the men's basketball final at the East Asian Games here on Saturday.\n\nJapan, who suffered a 78-62 loss to South Korea Friday, played a completely different game, leading from the very beginning and enlarging the gap by every quarter on the way.\n\nJapan's coach Zeljko Pavlicevic said they deserved the win as they played better than the Chinese in both defense and offense.\n\n\"We played a great game,\" said Zeljko. \"We led from the beginning and never looked back. It wasn't a final-ball game and we won it by eight points.\"\n\n\"You see the scoreboard, we are good in almost every thing, points, assists, rebounds and steals, we did play a great game.\"\n\nLeading the first quarter 17-14, Japan ran away 35-27 at the half break thanks to point guard Igarashi Kei, who scored eight points in a row in the second quarter.\n\nJapan widened its advantage to close the third quarter 54-43 after China's inside dominance Yi Jianlian was benched with four fouls in hand.\n\nChina, who had the semifinals without a loss, fought hard to close the margin to five points in the fourth quarter but Japanese forward Amino Tomoo's two shots ended China's comeback dream.\n\nIgarashi led the Japanese side with 19 points, seven assists, three steals and forward Amino added 16 points and seven rebounds.\n\nYi, who averaged more than 20 points in the preliminary round, scored a team high of 14 points yet only pulled down four rebounds. Guards Lu Xiaoming and Wang Shipeng each added 10 points.\n\nIn Saturday's another semifinal, Chinese Taipei nipped South Korea 61-48 thanks to a solid defense that limited its rival's shooting percentage to a poor 22 percent.\n\nChinese Taipei out-scored the South Korean side 14-6 in the fourth quarter to seal a final berth.\n\nGuard Zeng Wending scored a team high of 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds for Chinese Taipei, while forward Tianlei added 16 points and 14 rebounds.\n\nGuard Park Ji Hyon led South Korea with 20 points, forward Jung Hoon added 11 points.\n\n\"It's surprising that Japan upset China today, but we are glad to have Japan as the final rival,\" said Chinese Taipei coach Jin Hyo Joon.\n\nChinese Taipei, who beat Japan 89-78 in the preliminary round, will play

Lee\n\n\n\n\nUS House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich met Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui Wednesday for talks on bilateral ties at the start of a whirlwind visit to the nationalist island.\n\nGingrich is the first speaker to visit Taiwan since Washington switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979.\n\n\"We are glad to have this good friend come for a visit,\" Foreign Minister John Chan said after Gingrich's arrival at 10:30 a.m. (0230 GMT), adding that Taiwan had built a strong friendship with the US Congress.\n\nGingrich and a 23-member delegation were greeted at the Sungshan Military Airport by Chang and Darryl Johnson, director of Washington's quasi-embassy, the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT).\n\nThey were then escorted to limousines and whisked away to the presidential office, where the US speaker met Lee accompanied by 11 delegation members.\n\nGingrich is due to have lunch with Premier Lien Chan, who is also vice president, as well as other high-ranking Taipei officials before leaving for home at 1:00 p.m. (0500 GMT).\n\nChang stressed that Taipei would continue to show the world that cross-strait ties were not soley an internal Chinese issue.\n\n\"Our existence must be recognized by the international community,\" he said.\n\nGingrich told President Jian Zemin during a visit to China last week that the United States would be prepared to intervene if China invaded Taiwan, which Beijing has regarded as a renegade province since the natinalists fled here in 1949.\n\nJiang responded with a warning, saying: \"We hope the US administration and the Congress will handle the Taiwan issue with caution.\"\n\nOn Tuesday, Beijing again told Washington to stay clear.\n\n\"The controversy beween China and the United States on the Taiwan issue revolves around one point which is US interference,\" said Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Shen Guofang.\n\n\"The US government and the Congress have expressed their support for the 'one China' policy ... and we hope that the United States will keep its agreements,\" he added.\n\nGingrich toned down his remarks Tuesday in Tokyo, saying Washington would stick to its \"one-China policy.\"\n\n\"Taiwan is a question of great concern ... We favor a one-China policy... with voluntary dicussions between China and Taiwan,\" he said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "met", "start_char": 154, "end_char": 157,

"AFP_ENG_20061220.0703\n\nSYDNEY, Dec 21 , 2006, 2006\n\nAWB shrugs off ban from US government contracts, programmes\n\n\n\n\nAustralia's AWB on Thursday said a US decision to punish the disgraced wheat exporter for bribing the ousted Iraqi regime by barring it from government contracts and programmes would have no impact.\n\nUS Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns announced overnight the suspension of AWB and its affiliates, as well as 11 former employees, from US government contracts and participation in programs such as export credits.\n\nHowever AWB spokesman Peter McBride said the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) move would have little practical effect as the company had not used US subsidies since early 2004.\n\n\"As we haven't used the program for over two and a half years and we are currently not using it, we will just continue to have discussions with them (USDA) going forward,\" he said.\n\n\"We have informed them recently that we would voluntarily step down from using the export program. We don't envisage using it in the foreseeable future.\"\n\nMcBride said there seemed to have been some misunderstanding as AWB had yet to receive official notification of suspension from the USDA, despite ongoing discussions on the issue.\n\nLast month, an official inquiry here recommended that 11 former executives of AWB face criminal prosecution over corruption linked to the United Nations oil-for-food program in Saddam Hussein's Iraq.\n\nAWB, formerly the government-owned Australian Wheat Board, was found guilty of paying some 220 million US dollars in bribes to secure wheat contracts from the regime before Saddam was ousted in the US-led invasion of March 2003.\n\nUSDA spokeswoman Dana Johnson said the action was taken after the Foreign Agricultural Service scrutinised the Cole report.\n\nThe final report of the 10-month Cole inquiry, an investigation by former judge Terence Cole, concluded that AWB knowingly paid bribes to Baghdad to win wheat contracts and then misled the Australian government and the United Nations.\n\n\"We have taken this step based on the evidence and on our duty to protect the public interest and to ensure the USDA only does business with responsible individuals,\" Johnson told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.\n\nAlthough most of the personnel named in the Cole report were no longer involved with the company, the debarment still applied to AWB, Johnson said.\n\nShe said the immediate suspension barred AWB and individuals from contracting with the US government and participating in most US programs.\n\n\"AWB USA Limited had in the past in 2002-04 accessed some of the USDA export credit guarantee programs,\" she said.\n\nAWB now has a month to announce whether it will contest the move, a decision that could spark a drawn-out hearing process.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "said", "start_char": 144, "end_char": 148, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "REPORTING", "pos": "VERB",

Writing Down High-Yield Portfolio\n@ ----\n@ By Pauline Yoshihashi\n@ Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal \n 10/26/89 \n WALL STREET JOURNAL (J) \n CSV \n EARNINGS (ERN) \n BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. \n\n Columbia Savings amp Loan Association, reeling from thrift-accounting changes mandated by Congress and the recent collapse of the junk-bond market, announced a loss for the third quarter of $226.3 million, or $11.57 a share. \n\n For the quarter a year ago, Columbia reported earnings of $16.3 million, or 37 cents a share. \nTotal assets increased to $12.7 billion in the latest quarter from $12.4 billion a year earlier. \n\n The loss stems from $357.5 million of write-downs on Columbia's $4.4 billion high-yield investment securities portfolio, which includes about $3.7 billion of junk bonds, $400 million of preferred stock, and Treasury securities. \n\n Columbia owes its spectacular growth in recent years to its junk-bond portfolio, the largest of any U.S. thrift. \nMuch of Columbia's junk-bond trading has been done through the high-yield department of its Beverly Hills neighbor, Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc. \n\n For the nine months, losses totaled $212 million, or $10.83 a share, compared with net income of $48.7 million, or $1.11 a share, a year earlier. \n\n The results include a $130.2 million write-down of the securities in the high-yield portfolio to the lower of their cost or market value. \n\n Columbia also added $227.3 million to reserves for losses on the portfolio, increasing general reserves to $300 million, or about 6.7% of the total portfolio, as of Sept. 30. \nOn June 30, loss reserves stood at $108.3 million. \nThrift officials said the $300 million reserve will be adjusted quarterly and will reflect the rate of dispositions and market conditions. \n\n The adjustments result from the recently passed thrift-industry bailout legislation, which requires thrifts to divest all high-yield bond investments by 1994. \nPreviously, Columbia did n't have to adjust the book value of its junk-bond holdings to reflect declines in market prices, because it held the bonds as long-term investments. \nBecause Columbia now must sell the bonds within five years, accounting rules require the thrift to value the bonds at the lower of cost or market prices. \n\n For its future strategy, Columbia officials said the thrift may branch out into commercial lending or managing outside investments, as well as beefing up more traditional thrift activities. \n\n The quarterly results also reflected $21.4 million in non-recurring losses from commercial real-estate activities in California. \n\n Thomas Spiegel, Columbia's chairman, said in a statement that the thrift was \" disappointed\" by the effects of the accounting changes. \nBut he said Columbia remains \"one of the most strongly capitalized thrifts in the industry,\" based on the economic value of its assets and tangible capital. \n\n Columbia announced the results after the close of the stock market. \nIts shares closed at $5.125 each in composite New York Stock Exchange trading, down 37.5 cents. \nThe price of Columbia shares has been cut nearly in half since August, when they traded at about $10, as investors apparently realized that the thrift would be forced to take a big write-down. \nThe stock's decline accelerated in the past two weeks, from a price of $8 a share on Oct. 9. \n\n Columbia officials said they do n't know how quickly they will dispose of the thrift's junk bonds, because federal regulations, such as those that would allow thrifts to continue holding the bonds in separately capitalized subsidiaries, have n't yet been completed. \n\n Columbia officials also said the thrift should n't face problems meeting regulatory capital requirements, despite the large reserves and write-downs and stiffer regulatory requirements that should be in place by year's end. \nIts ratio of tangible equity to total assets as of Sept. 30 was 3.6%, and total equity was $457.9 million. \n\n The thrift emphasized that it has a large portfolio of equity securities issued in connection with corporate restructurings and leveraged buy-outs, which has a book value of $90 million. \n\n Although many of the transactions related to those securities have n't been completed, Columbia said the ultimate gain on the sale of those assets will range from $200 million to $300 million. \nColumbia also has unrealized gains in its public equity securities portfolio of more than $70 million. \n\n ---\n\n David B.

said Saturday it was lending 320 million dollars to help the poor in Pakistan obtain access to wider financial services, including microfinance.\n\nThe loans would go to developing a legal and regulatory framework and removing bottlenecks that would allow more of the country's poor access to financial networks, the ADB said in a statement from its headquarters in the Philippine capital.\n\nThis would include improving technology for delivering financial services more efficiently and at lower cost and expanding the range and quality of financial products and services \"including those for the Islamic market\", the ADB said.\n\nThe bank would also work to set up public-private partnerships, including reliable business and credit information systems as well as improved, reliable and lower-cost remittance services for overseas workers.\n\n\"There is a large potential demand for microfinance services among the poorest people in Pakistan, especially for savings and remittances facilities,\" the ADB said.\n\nMicrofinance reaches fewer than a million people in Pakistan, even though the potential market is about 20 million people, the bank added.\n\nWhile the microfinance sector has improved, it still does not touch vast numbers of people.

Collingwood followed on from his 96 in Brisbane to be unbeaten on 98 and Pietersen was on 60, after captain Andrew Flintoff won the toss.\n\nThe pair rattled an unbroken 108 runs for the fourth wicket in just 115 minutes.\n\nAmid cautious field placements and curious bowling preferences by skipper Ricky Ponting, England wriggled out of Australia's grip in the final session with Stuart Clark under-bowled despite taking two wickets in the morning.\n\nPietersen's one-on-one contests with his Hampshire county team-mate have been much-anticipated highlights of the series and he didn't disappoint after their contretemps in Brisbane last week.\n\nIt was Pietersen's arrival at the wicket after the loss of Ian Bell for 60 that quickened England's scoring rate after it had dawdled along at 2.4 runs an over amid tight Australian bowling.\n\nPietersen wasted little time raising his half-century off 69 balls while Collingwood played more the anchor role to help restore the England innings after the loss of both openers before lunch.\n\nDuring Pietersen's counter-attacking second innings of 92 in the first Test, Warne hurled the ball at his head, forcing the England No.5 to knock it away with his bat and yell at Warne.\n\nCollingwood, who sacrificed a century in Brisbane when he charged Warne on 96 and was stumped, had occupied the crease for 277 minutes by the close in another influential innings for his country.\n\nWarne finished the day with 0-85 off 27 overs.\n\nCollingwood and Bell played strait-jacket cricket to put on 113 runs for the third wicket before Bell went to hook a short ball only to sky a catch to bowler Brett Lee 13 minutes after tea.\n\nBell, who hit 50 in the first innings in Brisbane and wrestled with Warne's tricks early, batted for just over three hours with six boundaries.\n\nMedium-pacer Clark followed up his seven wickets in Brisbane with the scalps of Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook inside his first six overs in the morning session.\n\nStrauss continued his poor series after Gabba scores of 12 and 11 when he miscued a leading edge to a diving Damien Martyn at mid-on and then had Cook caught behind by Adam Gilchrist.\n\nBut Clark only bowled two overs after tea and finished with 2-25 off 15 overs.\n\nAustralian pace spearhead Glenn McGrath was passed fit to play after concern over a heel injury, while left-arm spinner Monty Panesar was left out of an unchanged England eleven.\n\nMcGrath had to convince his skipper Ponting that he would be able to complete a five-day match after needing painkillers to see out Australia's win at the Gabba. He bowled 18 overs for 0-51.\n\nEngland decided against playing attacking finger-spinner Panesar, despite coach Duncan Fletcher's comments this week that he was strongly considering using both spinners on an Adelaide pitch expected to take turn.\n\nThe Adelaide Oval is traditionally a high-scoring ground with the Australians amassing 500-plus in three of their last four Tests here with four batsmen scoring double-centuries -- West Indies' Brian Lara (226) last year, Justin Langer (215) against New Zealand in 2004 and Ponting (242) and Indian Rahul Dravid (233) in the 2003 Test loss to India.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "won", "start_char": 118, "end_char": 121, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "VERB", "tense": "PAST", "aspect":

products\n\n\n\n\nChinese authorities are to tighten the supervision and regulation of advertisements for medical products, and crack down on false and misleading advertising.\n\nThe campaign will be jointly managed by the State Administration of Industry and Commerce (SAIC) and the Ministry of Health (MOH).\n\nAn official with the SAIC said Monday that the SAIC would inspect media that release large numbers of medical treatment advertisements, and the results would be publicized.\n\nAdvertisements that have not been approved by the relevant monitoring department or that have been altered without authorization would incur prosecution for those responsible.\n\nThe supervisory departments would strengthen inspection of media that release medical advertisements, and heads of media that release the illegal advertisements would face penalties.\n\nThe regulatory departments should enhance their communication, the official said.\n\nThe MOH, along with the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, plans to organise all local healthy service departments to clean up false medical advertising, said the official.\n\nChina's medical advertising market had grown rapidly in recent years. The country's advertising business was worth 7.6 billion yuan (950 million U.S. dollars) in 2005, ranking sixth in the world.\n\nHowever, some ads for fake medicines have misled consumers and harmed their interests.

Federer kept in low status Tuesday as the two-time defending champion of the season-ending Tennis Masters Cup was pulled into tiebreaker of decider before avoiding a defeat at just the second match in Shanghai.\n\nIt took two hours and 17 minutes of the 24-year-old Swiss to defeat the in-form Croatian Ivan Ljubicic 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (4), with a forehanded shot out of Ljubicic's reach for the tiebreaker win.\n\nAfter Sunday's stumble win from Federer against Argentina's David Nalbandian, the last man having qualified for the elite eight-man field, nothing wrong from the tennis super star could be more shocking, even another rare fightback and a tiebreaker.\n\nWith all the embarrassments of backhand errors, weak returns and slow paces, Federer just repeated his sluggish form shown in Nalbandian's match, being broken twice in the second set after taking the first using an advantage of serving first.\n\nForced the decider, the superlative, who has compiled another outstanding season with an ATP-best 11 titles including two Grand Slam and a record four ATP Masters Series crown, should have shorten his work of Ljubicic in the ninth game before his two match points in hand were denied by the Croatian with some placement shots.\n\nLjubicic, who enjoyed his best season by winning two ATP titles in eight finals and broke into top ten for first time, then continually moved Federer to play close to the net and transferred errors from the Swiss to his own benefit before holding on to force tiebreaker.\n\nWith the victory, Federer saved his near-perfect record at the Tennis Masters Cup, increased his winning streak to 33, and extended his season-best match record to 79-3.\n\nThe Shanghai match was the first in six weeks for Federer, who has already clinched the world No. 1 year-end ranking for the second year in succession. He last competed in Bangkok, winning his 11th title of the season on October 2.\n\nLjubicic, the 26-year-old sensation of the late-season, had earned in place in Shanghai thanks to his autumn efforts, including the indoor title win over the past month in Metz and Vienna as well as the final encounters in both the Masters Series Madrid and Paris two week ago.\n\nThe Croatian struck 10 aces and managed 36 winner, but else committed 5 double faults and 41 unforced errors in his defeat to Federer.\n\n\"It was very close match. I reel really upset because I felt I deserved this one,\" said Ljubicic at a post-match news conference.\n\n\"Today I felt like for the first time I was the better player on the court (against Federer), and that's why it feels frustrating because some shots just went out that they were not supposed to.\"\n\nBefore taking over control of the match, Ljubicic seemed to have problems moving during the first set.\n\n\"I had problems with him because he was playing just unbelievable,\" he said. \"I think he played really high-class tennis in the first set, but I was also expecting his pace is going to drop because he dropped against Nalbandian, and I know he's not in top form physically.\n\n\"So I was just waiting my chances, and they came, and I took them.\"\n\n\"But I mean, Federer is not struggling. I just think that he's not top fit. He's not sharp as he usually is...I just tried to play my best tennis. It was almost enough. Unfortunately, it wasn't,\" added the Croatian.\n\nThe usually flawless Federer declined to agree with the negative comments on his performance, said: \"I felt like this is exactly the match I expected.\"\n\n\"I expected a close match. I thought maybe he was even slightly the favorite because of what I've been going through the last few weeks. Obviously, I'm very pleased with the result because a win is a win no matter if it's two or three sets.\"\n\nFederer called physiotherapist coming on court to treat on his sore ankle at the beginning of the third set, which raised worries that he might retire. And the Swiss denied that he remained on court trying to imitate the other five players who left.\n\n\"I did it for my well-being because I felt like my leg was starting to tighten up. Already I had that feeling against Nalbandian a little bit because maybe I'm compensating because of my injury.\"\n\nHe said \"No\" whenever asked whether to quit because of the injury, and also he emphasized that \"it means very much to me (that I can play). It's also should show a message how much and how important this tournament means to tennis. For me, this is equaling like a Grand Slam.\"\n\nThe Swiss is building upon an imposing 14-1 record at the Masters Cup, with his only loss came to Lleyton Hewitt in the Shanghai 2002 semifinals.\n\nFederer overcame the effects of the ankle ligament injury scare which threatened to keep him off the court at the Qi Zhong tennis center, and after American veteran Andre Agassi and second seed Rafael Nadal pulled out due to injuries on Monday, the Swiss has been left the only top-five player in the elite field.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "kept",

Africa's ruling party denies inside rift\n\n\n\n\nSouth Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) has denied reported differences between President Thabo Mbeki and his party deputy Jacob Zuma over ways to heal a rift within the party.\n\nThe party's powerful National Working Committee (NWC) said on Monday evening this emerged from its weekly meeting held in Johannesburg earlier in the day.\n\n\"The NWC received and discussed the joint report of the ANC president and deputy president as mandated by the ANC national executive committee (NEC) on September 9,\" the committee said in a statement, which was carried by the SAPA news agency.\n\n\"Media reports to the effect that there were differences between the president and deputy president on the substance of the report are false and without basis,\" it said.\n\nSouth African media has suggested that Mbeki and Zuma had been unable to come to an agreement on proposals to deal with tension in party after Mbeki sacked Zuma as the country's deputy president in June and Zuma was prosecuted on two corruption charges.\n\nZuma has repeatedly protested his innocence. His supporters hold that the corruption and the newly-emerged rape allegations were part of a political conspiracy by the ANC elite to block his path to the presidency in 2009, after Mbeki completes his second term.\n\nZuma currently is still the No. 2 figure of the ANC. Some political analysts in South Africa have said he could easily win the 2009 elections if he can be acquitted of corruption charges and succeed Mbeki as the party's president in 2007.\n\nThe reported tensions inside the ruling party were described as the most serious one since ANC took power in post-apartheid South Africa 11 years ago.\n\nANC secretary-general Kgalema Motlanthe was reportedly tasked to facilitate a final report for the next weekend's NEC meeting, described by local media as a \"make-or-break\" one.\n\nThe NWC said the report it discussed at Monday's meeting captured the substance of \"interactions\" between Mbeki and Zuma over the last two months.\n\n\"The report was accepted by the NWC,\" the committee said. \"The working committee was satisfied that the report would form the basis for a substantive discussion at the NEC meeting scheduled to take place this weekend.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "ruling",

{"text": "AFP_ENG_20061231.0059\n\nLJUBLJANA, Dec 31 , 2006, 2006\n\nby Bojan Kavcic\n\n\n\n\nAll is ready for Slovenia to at midnight on New Year's Sunday become the first former Communist state to adopt the European Union's common currency, officials here said.\n\nFive years after euro bills and coins were introduced, almost three years after Slovenia acceded to the EU, and 15 years after Slovenia declared independence from the former Yugoslavia, a new stage in the East-West integration of Europe is to be reached on January 1.\n\n\"We are replacing something good (the Slovenian currency, the tolar) with something even better (the euro),\" Slovenian Finance Minister Andrej Bajuk said on Friday as he announced that preparations for the changeover had concluded.\n\nAs of January 1, the euro will replace the tolar, a currency introduced in 1991 as a symbol of the tiny country's independence and an instrument aimed at cutting Belgrade's monetary control over the Slovenian economy.\n\nUnder the exchange rate, one euro will equal 239.64 tolars.\n\n\"The euro isn't important only for our economy, we also expect psychological benefits ... we are coming closer to the most developed part of the EU and this will give (citizens) confidence,\" Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa told AFP in a recent interview.\n\nThe accession to the eurozone is a coup for Slovenia as it is the only one of the 10 countries -- eight former Communist states plus Malta and Cyprus -- that joined in 2004 to have met the tough Maastricht criteria on public finances, inflation, interest and exchange rates that are required for eurozone newcomers.\n\nAfter EU finance ministers gave Slovenia the green light last July to join the euro, the government and central bank had to carry out wide preparations for the switch, such as minting Slovenian euro coins and distributing bills to banks.\n\n\"I believe we are well-prepared,\" central bank governor Mitja Gaspari said on Friday.\n\n\"There will be no trouble concerning cash in circulation,\" Gaspari said.\n\nHe said the central bank planned to put into circulation around one billion euros (1.3 billion dollars) in bills and coins to replace the 215 billion tolars (some 900 million euros) currently circulating in the two-million-population central European state.\n\nBanks will be closed from December 30-January 3, with the exception of 52 bank offices in 42 cities and towns that will open on January 1 and 2 to change tolars into euros.\n\nThe changeover to the single European currency foresees that tolars and euros will circulate simultaneously for only the first two weeks of January.\n\nTo prevent a rounding upward of prices as has happened when other nations changed over to the euro, the government introduced last March the double labelling of prices, in euros and tolars, and this will remain in force for six months.\n\nDespite this measure, inflation in December increased by 0.4 percent from the previous month pushing 12-month inflation, in unadjusted terms, to end at 2.8 percent, compared to 2.3 percent registered in December 2005.\n\nBut Gaspari said: \"We can't blame the euro for any increase of prices in December, January or February, and there is no justification for any raising of prices.\"\n\nSlovenia's Consumer Association reported on Friday that during the last week before the changeover prices in some fast-food restaurants of capital Ljubljana increased between six and 20 percent and prices for parking in the center of the city are also expected to rise.\n\nAnother problem Slovenian banks will face on New Year's Eve will be the switch to euros on 1,300 ATMs (automatic teller machines). These are expected to be out of use during the transition for only three hours (between 9 pm and midnight).\n\nMeanwhile, Cyprus and Malta are expected to follow Slovenia into the eurozone in 2008 and Slovakia is aiming to adopt the single currency in 2009.\n\nThe Czech Republic is now aiming to join the euro in 2012 and Hungary in 2013.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

killer of filmmaker Theo van Gogh, go on trial Monday at Amsterdam's high security court.\n\nThe murder of outspoken Islam critic Van Gogh and the subsequent arrests of the alleged members of the terror ring dubbed the Hofstad group have heightened fears that the country is a target for Islamic terrorists.\n\nHowever, prosecutors have already suffered setbacks, being forced to drop charges the group was specifically planning to kill several Dutch politicians, and losing a similar case against another accused terrorist.\n\nProsecutor Koos Plooy has admitted that they have insufficient evidence to proceed with charges the group was planning specific attacks, but said they were definitely heading that way.\n\nThe prosecution alleges that 27-year-old Mohammed Bouyeri, convicted to life in prison for murdering Van Gogh, was a leading member of the Hofstad group.\n\nDespite the fact that he already has the maximum sentence given in the Netherlands, the prosecution also wants Bouyeri to appear in the Hofstad group trial because if his alleged key role.\n\nProsecutors say that the majority of the group's meetings were held in Bouyeri's Amsterdam home and that he spread radical Islamic texts among its members.\n\nSome of the others charged have been linked to a radical Islamist jailed in Spain for the May 2003 bombings in Casablanca, Morocco that left 45 people dead.\n\nThe group was dubbed the Hofstad (court city) group as some of its members were active in The Hague, the seat of the Dutch government and the royal house.\n\nBesides the accusations of membership in a terrorist organisation, the prosecution has filed additional charges against two of the group's members for throwing a grenade at the police team coming to arrest them in The Hague in November 2004.\n\nA weapons charge has been pressed against one member who was arrested in Amsterdam last June with a loaded gun.\n\nAccording to NOS Dutch public television there was some concrete evidence that this suspect, Nourredine El Fatmi, was planning an attack. Quoting from prosecution documents they obtained the NOS said Fatmi apparently told a fellow inmate that he was looking for two Dutch politicians known for their criticism of Islam in the days before his arrest.\n\nThe judges of the court in The Hague handling the trial will exceptionally sit in Amsterdam's high security court, nicknamed the bunker, during the trial set to last at least two months.\n\nThe first two days of the case will be taken up with the prosecution's opening statement and the questioning of (expert) witnesses relevant to all cases.\n\nThe trial is set to close February 10 after all the suspects have gotten a change to make a final declaration and the judges are expected to hand down a verdict on February 24.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions":

HK\n\n\n\n\nA Hong Kong pro-democracy group on Saturday turned its wrath on Britain, saying it would stage protests at an upcoming visit by ex- premier Margaret Thatcher in anger at British \"lip service\" on the territory's future.\n\nThe announcement was made by the United Front Against the Provisional Legislature, a loose alliance of politicians and grass-roots activists opposing the assembly set up by China to legislate in Hong Kong after the July 1 handover.\n\nThatcher is an architect of the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, the treaty that set down the terms for Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule and Beijing's promises to grant it wide-ranging autonomy for the following 50 years.\n\nShe is due to make a visit to the territory in two weeks, when she will officiate at the opening of the Tsing Ma Bridge -- part of the project to build Hong Kong's new airport -- on April 27.\n\n\"It is obvious that the British Hong Kong government has made too many compromises with communist China to betray democracy and the human rights of Hong Kong people,\" the United Front said in a statement.\n\n\"Recently, the Hong Kong government has taken steps to suppress peaceful demonstration by prosecuting a number of protestors during the selection of the (future) chief executive and the establishment of the Provisional Legislature.\"\n\nIt said the bridge ceremony, and a scheduled fireworks display that will commemorate the opening, \"is nothing worthwhile, but an indication of the so-called glory withdrawal of the British government.\"\n\nThe statement called on Governor Chris Patten to withdraw the invitation to Thatcher and added it would organise \"various protests\" to show \"the 'lip service' of British commitment to Hong Kong.\"\n\nThe United Front gathers individuals from Hong Kong's beleaguered pro- democracy faction, including the Frontier group and Democratic Party. Its demonstrations are small but vocal.\n\nCritics of Britain's 156-year rule over Hong Kong say the colonial power moved too late to set down democratic institutions here.\n\nThe Legislative Council (LegCo), which will be replaced by the Provisional Legislature, is a fully-elected body.\n\nBut only a third of its 60 seats are chosen by universal suffrage. The others are chosen by local councils and by organisations representing Hong Kong's various professions.\n\nIn the last LegCo elections, in September 1995, democrats triumphed in the seats chosen by universal but mainly lost in the functional constituencies, which are dominated by pro-China figures.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "turned", "start_char": 175,

Dallas oil and gas concern said that $10 million of the facility would be used to consolidate the company's $8.1 million of existing bank debt, to repurchase 4 million of its 4.9 million shares outstanding of Series D convertible preferred stock, and to purchase a 10% net-profits interest in certain oil and gas properties from one of its existing lenders, National Canada Corp. \nThe remaining $40 million can be used over three years for oil and gas acquisitions, the company said. \n\n Ted Eubank, Coda's president, said the loan carries an interest rate of prime plus one percentage point, with 85% of the company's net oil and gas revenue each month dedicated to repayment. \nThe company put up \"virtually all\" of its oil and gas properties as collateral, he said.",

quotes on Japan's involvement ///\n\n\n\n\nJordan's King Abdullah II warned Friday chances were running out for peace in the Middle East, with \"disastrous\" consequences in store unless progress is made in the first half of the new year.\n\nSpeaking on a visit to Japan, a key donor to the region, Abdullah made an impassioned call for the world to restore hope for Palestinians amid chaos in the Palestinian territories and elsewhere in the region.\n\n\"I believe that the window of opportunity is diminishing and it won't be long before we can say that the futures of the Palestinians are gone,\" he told the Japan Institute of International Affairs.\n\n\"2007 is a very critical year, and if we don't create a process to move forward in the next six or seven months, then I don't think we ever will. And the outcome of that will be disastrous for all of us, Israel included.\"\n\nHe said the international community needed to prove to both the Palestinian and Israeli people that a two-state solution of an independent Israel and Palestine was \"irreversible\".\n\n\"If we don't move forward, I fear we will find ourselves in a situation where we will never have a two-state solution,\" he said.\n\n\"Therefore we will never have peace between Israelis and Palestinians, therefore we will never have peace between Israelis and Arabs, and therefore we will condemn our region for another decade or two of violence, which none of us can afford.\"\n\nAbdullah, who held talks Friday with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, is seen as a key Western ally in the Middle East, with his kingdom straddling Israel, the Palestinian territories and Iraq.\n\nHe visited Japan amid turmoil in the region, with clashes in the Palestinian territories between rival factions, pressure on the Western-backed government in Lebanon and daily carnage in Iraq.\n\nAbdullah said he told US President George W. Bush, who visited Jordan last month for talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, that the world needed to look at the three Middle Eastern crises all at once.\n\n\"We have to know how to walk and chew gum at the same time,\" he said. \"We cannot focus on just one issue.\"\n\nAbdullah said he supported Japan's bid for greater involvement in the region. Japan, the world's second largest economy, relies almost entirely on Arab countries and Iran for its oil.\n\n\"You can't afford instability in our part of the world,\" Abdullah said.\n\n\"You are in a very unique position as a strong member of the international community because you have not involved in politics. Therefore you are considered an honest broker and that is increasingly important,\" he said.\n\nOn a visit to the region in July, Japan's then prime minister Junichiro Koizumi proposed building a \"peace and prosperity corridor\" in the West Bank.\n\nUnder the initiative, Japan would work with Israel, Jordan and the Palestinians to develop the West Bank's broken economy, including designing an agro-industrial park.\n\nAbdullah said he supported the initiative but that it was no substitute for a political solution.\n\n\"The people living on the ground won't buy in into any economic formula or initiative unless they are guaranteed that the political process is moving forward,\" he said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "warned", "start_char": 132, "end_char":

ADDS ISAF soldier killed ///\n\n\n\n\nA suicide bomber blew himself up at a governor's house in southern Afghanistan Tuesday, killing eight people, in the latest bloodshed linked to a spiralling Taliban insurgency.\n\nSeparately, US-led security forces shot dead four suspected Taliban militants and a teenage girl, while elsewhere a soldier from a NATO-led force was killed in a firefight with insurgents.\n\nThe violence came as President Hamid Karzai attended a high-level security conference in Kandahar, the birthplace of the Taliban regime, to urge foreign forces to do their best to avoid civilian casualties.\n\nSix bodyguards, a district chief and a civilian were killed when the suicide bomber sneaked into the heavily guarded residence of the governor of troubled Helmand province, provincial police chief Mohammad Nabi Mullahkhil told AFP.\n\n\"Governor Mohammad Daud was about to leave and as his motorcade and bodyguards were prepared the attacker penetrated into the governor's house and tried to approach the governor,\" Mullahkil said.\n\n\"The bodyguard suspected he might be an attacker and stopped him but then the man exploded himself,\" he said, adding that eight other bodyguards were injured.\n\nThe interior ministry also said eight people were killed in the attack, which took place during working hours at the house in Lashkargah, the provincial capital, but said seven of the victims were policemen and one was a civilian.\n\nNATO troops rushed to the governor's house after the explosion but there were no casualties among foreign troops, said Jason Chalk, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).\n\n\"All we can say is that the governor is safe,\" Chalk said.\n\nMore than 30,000 NATO-led troops are currently hunting Taliban insurgents and their Islamic extremist allies, mainly in southern Afghanistan. Another 10,000 US-led troops are operating in the conflict-ridden country.\n\nISAF said one NATO soldier was killed in a gunbattle with insurgents in Helmand on Tuesday. It did not give the soldier's nationality or any more details but most of the troops in the province are British.\n\nSeparately on Tuesday, the US-led coalition and the Afghan army killed four suspected Taliban militants in eastern Afghanistan, the coalition said in a statement.\n\nA 13-year-old girl was killed and an eight-year-old girl injured in the incident, when the soldiers raided a house near the village of Darnami in restive Khost province, where the alleged insurgents were hiding out, it said.\n\nThe wounded girl was taken to a coalition hospital, escorted by a family member, the coalition said. There were no casualties among the Afghan soldiers or coalition troops.\n\nKarzai said he discussed the issue of civilian casualties when he held a meeting on security and reconstruction with NATO and US commanders, key foreign diplomats and government ministers in Kandahar, which borders Helmand.\n\n\"We discussed it. It was one of the very serious and main topics. We take it very seriously. NATO takes it very seriously,\" the president told reporters after flying into the restive city by US helicopter.\n\nIt was the first meeting of the so-called Policy Action Group that the beleaguered Afghan leader has attended and the first outside Kabul. Security was tight for the meeting, an AFP correspondent said.\n\nKarzai said NATO commanders were holding a meeting later Tuesday to discuss ways to avoid civilian losses during their operations.\n\nAt least 1,000 civilians have died in Afghanistan's worst year of violence since the Taliban regime fell in late 2001 -- most through insurgent action but some in NATO and coalition operations, according to an official report.\n\nThe 2006 death toll -- taking into account civilian, militant, police, and Afghan and foreign troop casualties -- is more than 3,700, four times the number in 2005.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "blew", "start_char": 129, "end_char": 133, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "VERB", "tense": "PAST",

Greek public and private sectors and severely restricted air, sea and rail travel across the country, as the country's two biggest trade unions took to the streets to protest against government fiscal policy.\n\nAll aircraft were to be grounded for four hours on Wednesday from noon (1000 GMT) because of action by air traffic controllers.\n\nFlight disruptions were to continue until Thursday, with national carrier Olympic Airlines expecting to cancel 35 flights to foreign destinations and 75 internal flights over the next two days.\n\nOlympic said it would operate one flight a day to each domestic destination and one flight a day to each foreign destination.\n\nAnother Greek carrier, Aegean Airlines, said it will cancel a flight to Cyprus and seven domestic flights and will change the timings of 27 of its departures on Wednesday.\n\nThe Wednesday strike by the General Confederation of Workers (GSEE) and the Union of Civil Servants (ADEDY) -- which number some 800,000 members among them -- was also expected to cripple shipping, ground intercity trains and halt Athens' public transport systems.\n\nThe Athens metro was to operate between 11 am and 4 pm to enable people to join demonstrations planned for 1 pm.\n\nBanks, hospitals and schools would also remain closed because of the strike, which also brought a four-hour break in media coverage.\n\nThe unions are protesting against government spending plans and proposals to alter the status of staff working for large public companies.\n\nPolice and firefighters carried out their own street protest on Tuesday evening,

2006\n\n=(PICTURE)=\n\n\n\n\nIran has for the first time approved a non-cleric to run for the key body that supervises and selects the supreme leader, although he remains a pillar of the Islamic republic's establishment.\n\nMohsen Esmaili, a 41-year-old law professor, is a member of the conservative electoral watchdog the Guardians Council that vetted 495 candidates for December 15 poll, disqualifying two-thirds of them.\n\nEsmaili, as well as an unspecified number of candidates, had to take an exam to ascertain whether he was sufficiently qualified in Islamic jurisprudence to be termed \"mojtahed\" and thus qualify to serve in the Assembly of Experts.\n\nThe Iranian constitution does not require candidates to be a \"mojtahed\", but the body, which has autonomy in tailoring requirements for membership, has made that mandatory.\n\nEsmaili believes the Assembly needs to open its doors to non-clerical experts in politics, the economy, international law and administration to play a more effective role as an advisor to the leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.\n\n\"Those who enter the Assembly of Experts should be able to understand the complicated issues of modern world and present solutions to the leader and the policy-making bodies,\" he told a press conference, dressed in a smart three-piece suit.\n\n\"The leader has shown he is willing to hear different views,\" Esmaili said, adding he would seek to boost links between non-clerical consultants and the Assembly members if elected.\n\n\"We have more accurate information about people's needs because of our presence in universities,\" said Esmaili, who has formed a coalition with five other candidates in Tehran, and is working to have 40 other candidates representing 20 provinces join the group.\n\nSeveral non-clerical figures, most notably President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and parliament speaker Gholam Ali Hadad-Adel, have won key posts in recent years, in a change of the trend that prevailed the late 1980s and 1990s.\n\nHowever the term non-cleric is not synonymous with reformist and both Ahmadinejad and Hadad-Adel are conservatives seen as close to the supreme leader.\n\nHimself a former student of Khamenei, Esmaili said \"of course we see the leader as the best person for navigating Iran through the turbulence of today's world but it does not mean that nobody has the right to comment or criticize.\"\n\nThe 86-member Assembly -- which is only elected once every eight years -- is in charge of supervising, dismissing and electing the Supreme Leader, who is appointed for life.\n\nEsmaili stopped short of commenting on the Assembly's past record as it \"has not published an official report, so we cannot judge\". The Assembly does not publish details of its discussions, only its opening and closing statements.\n\nHe believes the Assembly, which meets twice a year, should be more transparent, providing the public with regular reports of its decisions and activities.\n\n\"We will take a step forward. The sessions should be open unless the law prevents making something public to protect national interests\".\n\nEsmaili expressed regret that some clerical hopefuls snubbed the Islamic jurisprudence exam in the run-up to the election and consequently were excluded from the race.\n\n\"We should submit to the instruments of democracy. When there is a condition we should use it,\" he said of those who regarded the prerequisite as an insult.\n\nAmong those who boycotted the test were leading reformist clerics Majid Ansari, who is an incumbent member of the Assembly, and Hadi Khamenei, brother of the supreme leader.\n\n\"We should have members representing different views, but the ones who put national interests before personal leanings,\" he said.\n\n\"It's our duty to prove a theocracy is efficient and capable of responding to modern questions.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "approved",

Saturday with both leaders expressing the willingness to maintain the good momentum of the development of relations between the two countries.\n\n\"The Sino-Japanese ties are now at a crucial juncture,\" Hu said when he met Abe before the beginning of the 14th Economic Leaders' Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum slated for Saturday and Sunday.\n\nThe talks, the second between the two leaders since early October, demonstrated their common aspiration to improve relations between China and Japan and marked a new era in the Sino-Japanese relations, Hu said.\n\nAt their Beijing meeting last month, both leaders agreed that they should view the Sino-Japanese ties from the long-term and strategic perspective so as to achieve the great objective of peaceful coexistence, friendship for generations, cooperation of mutual benefit and common development, the Chinese president said.\n\n\"The two sides also reached wide-ranging consensus on enhancing political trust, boosting cooperation of mutual benefit, expanding exchanges of personnel and promoting cooperation in international and regional affairs,\" Hu said.\n\nTo further promote bilateral cooperation, President Hu put forward a five-point proposal -- charting the direction of the development of bilateral ties, deepening friendship between the two peoples, promoting mutually beneficial cooperation, making joint efforts to promote peace, stability and development in Asia, and properly handling the sensitive issues related to Taiwan and the history of Japanese invasion.\n\nThe sensitive issues are closely related to the political foundation of bilateral relations between the two countries, Hu said.\n\nThe two countries should also speed up consultation on the East China Sea issue in line with the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity, and make it the \"sea of peace, cooperation and friendship,\" Hu said.\n\nAbe said Japan and China have agreed to build a strategically reciprocal relationship during his October visit to China, and he hoped to maintain high-level exchanges so as to push the Japan-China relations to a new high.\n\nThe Japanese prime minister suggested the two sides hold a ministerial meeting at the earliest to coordinate their cooperation in economy and trade, to strengthen cooperation in energy saving and environmental protection, as well as to promote exchanges of personnel and boost cooperation in tourism.\n\nHe also recommended both sides launch a joint study on the historical issues, intensify consultation on the East China Sea issue, and boost cooperation among Japan, China and South Korea in investment, environmental protection and tourism.\n\nPresident Hu Jintao is in Hanoi for a state visit to Vietnam, where he and other leaders or representatives from the 21 APEC members will attend the Nov. 18-19 APEC economic leaders' meeting.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "met",

21 , 2006, 2006\n\nby Isabel Sanchez\n\n\n\n\nInterim Cuba leader Raul Castro could signal a passing of the torch to a newer generation of Communist leaders when Cuba's national legislature opens its annual meeting here Friday.\n\nRaul's role as top leader since he took over from his ailing older brother Fidel Castro on July 31 will likely be made clearer at the meeting.\n\nBut the probable absence of Fidel, unseen in public since he underwent surgery in July, will spotlight the big question about the future of Cuba and who will lead it, beyond the Castro brothers.\n\nRaul, 75, strongly suggested during a 35-minute speech late Wednesday to the University Students' Federation (FEU) that the time had come for a changing of the guard.\n\n\"Whether we like it or not, we're already coming to the end of our duties,\" he said. \"We have to yield to the new generations ... or continue to lead the way for the new generations, gradually of course.\"\n\nRaul spoke from a table where three generations of Cuban leaders were sitting, including Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, 76, chief of the Organization Department of the Communist Party Central Committee; Vice President Carlos Lage, 55; and his 25-year-old son and FEU chairman Carlos Lage Codorniu.\n\nAfter the students said in a final statement that they would \"defend the martial, Marxist-Leninist, socialist and antiimperialist revolution,\" Raul replied that he was proud Cuba would be led \"by the new generations you represent.\"\n\nOn what style of government they should follow, Raul, also Cuba's defense minister, recommended the leadership should always include exhaustive debate.\n\nHe offered a little insight in his own way of doing things: \"I confer with a group of 12 generals of one or more stars. They all give their opinions, they all discuss, and in the end, if I don't see a true majority consensus, no conclusion is reached, unless it's an emergency.\"\n\nWith 609 members, the National Assembly of People's Power (ANPP) gives some hints at the future leadership. It is presided over by one of the leading figures of the regime, Ricardo Alarcon, 69, Cuba's former representative to the United Nations.\n\nThe legislature comprises now three generations of Cuban leaders, all bound together by \"Fidelism\" -- from the old guard who rose up behind Fidel Castro in the 1959 revolution, to the newest generation of 30-40 year-olds.\n\nIn between are rising figures like Lage; Felipe Perez Roque, 41, Cuba's top diplomat; and Francisco Soberon, 61, president of the central bank.\n\nAll were named by Fidel Castro to back his brother in the interim.\n\nSince its creation in December 1976, the ANPP has always been Fidel Castro's venue for laying out in detail the country's direction. His long speeches dominated debates and usually led to unanimous votes backing his views.\n\nIt will be only the second time in its 30-year history that Fidel will miss a session of the ANPP.\n\nWith a more conservative, quieter style, Raul Castro will preside over the second of the two annual ANPP sessions. In December 2002, his absence was attributed to complications from a mosquito bite.\n\nIn the days ahead of the meeting, there has been no indication that he will break from the normal routine. The deputies will review, for instance, the state housing construction program and the \"revolutionary\" program to protect the environment, themes already discussed Monday and Tuesday by ANPP committees.\n\nEven so, all attention will be focused on any signal about Fidel's health and Raul's future. The meeting takes place with Fidel unseen in public for more than four months and questions about the country's future looming.\n\n\"We cannot exclude the possibility that Fidel will choose this moment to make important announcements through his brother, such as laying down the formal process for a transition,\" said a diplomat from a friendly Latin American country.\n\nThe diplomat said Fidel Castro's \"political wisdom\" could inspire an announcement.\n\nHowever, he cautioned, \"His temperament as a fierce fighter doesn't suggest that he would announce his withdrawal from politics prematurely.\"\n\nWith a personal appearance generally ruled out, the country must hold its breath in wait for a surprise move.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "signal",

find this year, researchers announced on Tuesday they had identified at least 52 new species of animals and plants on the island of Borneo.\n\nThe new discovery including 30 unique species of fish, two new species of tree frog, 16 species of ginger, three tree species and a large-leafed species of plant seen nowhere else in the world, the wildlife group WWF said in a press release.\n\nMany of the species were found in the so-called Heart of Borneo, a thickly forested mountainous region covering around 220,000 square kilometers (85,000 square miles) in the centre of the island.\n\nThe finds include the world's second smallest vertebrate, a tiny species of fish that measures less than one centimetre (1.25 inches) in length and thrives in the island's highly acidic blackwater peat swamps.\n\nThere is also a catfish with a protruding teeth \"and an adhesive belly which allows it to literally stick to rocks,\" as well as six species of Siamese fighting fish, including one species with a gorgeous iridescent blue-green colouring.\n\nThe 52 new species have been covered in the past year alone.\n\nIn February, scientists said they had had found a \"Garden of Eden\" in the Foja Mountains, on the island of New Guinea, where they recorded dozens of new species of butterflies, frogs, palms and rhododendrons.\n\nThey also found a unique local species of honeyeater bird -- the first new bird to be sighted on New Guinea for more than 60 years -- and determined that the mountains were the home of one of the most elusive bird species of all, a creature called the Berlepsch's bird of paradise.\n\nWWF said many more species waited to be discovered in Borneo, which is divided between Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia, but expressed deep concern about the loss of equatorial rainforest, which is being cleared for rubber, oil palm and pulp production.\n\n\"The more we look, the more we find,\" said Stuart Chapman, international coordinator for WWF's Heart of Borneo programme. \"These discoveries reaffirm Borneo's position as one of the most important centres of biodiversity in the world.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "find",

(Xinhua)\n\nReport sees rise in domestic demand, investments in Greece\n\n\n\n\nThe economic climate in Greece has returned to a growth course similar to that of the EU-25, while the Greek economy significantly reduced a \"shortfall of optimism\" that prevailed after the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, a report said.\n\nEconomic growth is expected to exceed 3.4 percent this year, boosted by domestic demand and rising investments, said the report issued on Thursday by the Institute for Economic and Industrial Research (IOBE).\n\nIt attributed the rising consumption to an expanding consumer credit and stressed that the increasing investments reflected an improving business climate and a recovery in public investments. The economic sentiment index kept rising for the last 12 months.\n\nConsumers, however, remained gloomy over economic developments, the report said. The consumer sentiment index was the third lowest in the EU-25 and the lowest in the Eurozone, a trend prevailing for the last 15 years even in rapid growth periods for the Greek economy.\n\nIt underlined a systematic difference between real economic development and how consumers viewed them, the IOBE report said.\n\nThe report also blamed the out-of-date laws and regulations, and as for the new legislative initiative, it remained uncontrolled as far as its impact on the economy was concerned.\n\nThe report said spending on the country's social insurance system would grow rapidly in the future, warning that if the problem was not timely dealt with, it could undermine efforts for a sustainable reduction of public spending.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

meeting ending in failure ///\n\n\n\n\nEU finance ministers failed to agree Tuesday on a list of services to benefit from exceptionally low value added tax, with the incoming German government blocking a deal particularly important to France.\n\nAfter two and a half years of talks on the list, the ministers decided to let heads of state and government work out at a summit next week such issues as whether hairdressers and restaurantiers should benefit from low VAT rates.\n\nThe European Union's current British presidency has been struggling to broker a deal on which industries should be included, but time is running out before the existing list expire at the end of the year.\n\n\"We will try our best to get an agreement on an important dossier which matters to a large number of states,\" said British finance minister Gordon Brown, who chaired the ministers' meeting.\n\nBrown, who is known to have little appetite for lengthy negotiations with EU counterparts, was upbeat about the prospects for a deal at the December 15-16 summit in Brussels.\n\n\"We think there is a good chance of reaching an agreement at the council next week,\" he said.\n\nLike all issues regarding tax harmonisation in the EU, the list must be unanimously accepted by the 25 member states. Exceptions aside, EU rules do not allow a minimum VAT rate of less than 15 percent.\n\nThe stakes are high for the sectors concerned and the current deadlock has left business leaders on the existing list -- which includes activities like building renovation, hair cutting and window-washing -- in limbo, wondering if they will benefit from a VAT tax break next year.\n\nHoping to pave the way for an agreement, Britain has put forward a compromise list taking up member states' main wishes for reduced VAT on services carried out at a local level and which, therefore, do not affect cross-border competition in the EU's single market for goods and services.\n\nGermany's newly installed government is widely seen as holding the key to a deal because progress so far has been held up by opposition from Berlin.\n\n\"I think it's true to say that the new German government wants to look at its position on this matter and I think that it was right to leave this up to the council (summit) so that the German government, which has just come into the administration, can examine this in more detail,\" Brown said.\n\nParis has been working its close relations with Berlin -- but with little success so far -- in hope of breaking the deadlock and getting reduced VAT for building renovation prolonged and securing lower rates for restaurants as both industries are huge employers in France.\n\n\"Our German colleague, Peer Steinbrueck, the new finance minister, was not able at this point to offer his support,\" said French Finance Minister Thierry Breton.\n\nHowever, Breton said he had the impression Germany was ready to make a gesture to help reach a deal\n\n\"The German minister is ready to embrace some of the British package, which he considers to be too broad. He is ready to make proposals,\" Breton said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "failed", "start_char": 127, "end_char": 133, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE",

agreement (FTA) on Friday, which is projected to triple their current bilateral trade to 15 billion U.S. dollars within five years.\n\nUnder the agreement, China and Pakistan will begin to reduce or eliminate tariffs on all products in two phases from July 1, 2007.\n\nDuring Phase I, both sides will reduce the tariffs on 85 percent of the products based on different extents of tariff reduction within five years of the agreement entering into force, and 36 percent of the products will be tariff free within three years.\n\nDuring this phase, China will mainly reduce tariffs on livestock, aquatic products, vegetables, mineral products and textiles, while Pakistan will mainly reduce tariffs on beef and mutton, chemicals and machinery products.\n\nPhase II starts from the sixth year of the entry into force of the agreement. Both sides will further reduce tariffs on the products on the basis of a review of the implementation of the agreement. The aim is to eliminate tariffs on no less than 90 percent of products, both in terms of tariff lines and trade volume, within a reasonable period of time on the basis of friendly consultation and accommodation of the concerns of both sides.\n\nThe Free Trade Agreement also covers investments, including investment promotion and protection, treatment of investments, expropriation, compensation for damages and losses and dispute settlement.\n\nChina and Pakistan launched negotiations on the agreement in April 2005. Over the past a year and a half, the two sides have had six rounds of negotiations.\n\nThe deal would further upgrade bilateral trade and economic cooperation and inject new vigor into the traditionally friendly relations between China and Pakistan, Chinese officials said.\n\nChina-Pakistan trade volume exceeded 4.3 billion dollars in 2005, representing a year-on-year increase of 39 percent. The officials said the trade deal could triple bilateral trade to 15 billion dollars within five years.\n\nChina mainly exports high-tech products, chemicals, plastics products and household appliances to Pakistan, and imports textiles, leather and aquatic products from the south Asian country.\n\nThe conclusion of the FTA came after one and a half years of negotiations between the two countries on market access for goods, rules of origin, trade remedies, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, technical barriers to trade, investments and dispute settlement.\n\nThe agreement is the third of its kind reached between China and foreign countries after the China-ASEAN FTA and the China-Chile FTA.\n\nThe deal was signed by Chinese Commerce Minister Bo Xilai and his Pakistani counterpart Jumayun Akhtar Khan, in the presence of Chinese President Hu Jintao and his Pakistani counterpart Pervez Musharraf.\n\nHu arrived here on Thursday for a state visit at Musharraf's invitation. Pakistan is the last leg of Hu's four-nation Asia tour, which has already taken him to Vietnam, Laos and India.\n\nThe visit also coincides with the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Pakistan.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "signed", "start_char": 135, "end_char": 141, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos":

invasion of the country in 2003, a Dutch newspaper said on Friday.\n\nThe detainees were allegedly subjected to bright lights, soaked with water and exposed to high-pitched sounds, according to the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant.\n\nThe abuses, involving members of the Dutch Military Intelligence and Security Service, occurred in Samawah in the southeastern Iraqi province of Al Muthanna in November 2003, it reported.\n\nDutch Defense Minister Henk Kamp, however, denied the accusation, saying that an investigation into the alleged case in 2003 did not reveal any wrongdoings.\n\nBut Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said the allegations would be \"shocking\" if proved true.\n\nHe said an independent commission had been set up by the coalition government to re-investigate the case.\n\nThe controversy erupted just five days before the Dutch national parliamentary elections.\n\nOpposition politicians have demanded a recall of Parliament to question Kamp about the

136.8 on a year-on-year basis, the Department of Statistics said Monday.\n\nThe positive growth was driven by the increases in the manufacturing and electricity indices, which grew by 5.9 percent to 143.7 and by 4.2 percent to 154.3 respectively.\n\nThe mining index, however, declined by 5 percent to 111.3, the department said in a statement released here.\n\nCompared with the previous month, IPI for September decreased by 1 percent.\n\nThe decrease was due to the lower indices in all sectors, with the electricity index down 3 percent, mining index down 2.7 percent and manufacturing index,

generate power for the region. However, the EC had showed concerns about the security of the facility, since part of the units in Kozloduy were of the same type of those in Ukraine's Chernobyl plant, which witnessed the world's worst nuclear disaster in 1986.\n\nAs part of the criteria for Bulgaria's bid for entering the European Union, Bulgaria has already shut down units 1 and 2 in Kozloduy in 2003, and is to shut the other two units by the end of the year.\n\nAlso due to delayed deliveries of coal for some thermal plants, Bulgaria's electricity exports for the Balkan Peninsula would be ceased to secure the local electricity supply, the minister said, adding that the EC had promised to do its best to plug the power shortfall in the region.\n\nCurrently, Bulgaria's National Electricity Company has received

governments but no decision on state finance for the new A350 airliner programme is imminent, the head of Airbus said on Monday.\n\nAirbus chief executive Louis Gallois, who is also co-chief executive of parent company EADS, told a press conference that \"no decision has been taken or is imminent\" concerning a contribution by partner countries to the A350 programme.\n\nGallois said: \"We do not have an imminent need for finance.\"\n\nHe also said: \"The board of EADS has asked us to study all possible instruments for financing ... A capital increase is one of them, but only one possibility.\"\n\nA short time earlier French Economy and Finance Minister Thierry Breton had said that the four partner countries behind the Airbus programme, France, Germany, Spain and Britain, would accompany financing of the A350 programme.\n\nThe board of the European Aernoautic Defence and Space Company EADS decided late on Friday to go ahead with the programme to build the A350 series of airliners.\n\nThe aircraft was considered to be crucial to the future of Airbus as the main competitor to US manufacturer Boeing, but Airbus is in difficulties over delays of up to 24 months in its other key new programme, for the A380 superjumbo airliner.\n\nAirbus has announced ambitious plans to save money, in part to release funds for the A350 project, but has yet to provide full details of how it will restructure.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "holding", "start_char": 151, "end_char": 158, "eid": "e1",

April 29 , 1997 (AFP)\n\nIndia's ruling coalition stunned as party leader scandal by Pratap Chakravarty\n\n\n\n\nIndia's new ruling coalition was left reeling Tuesday by plans to prosecute the leader of its largest government partner for corruption amid doubts over its future stability, alliance leaders said.\n\nPrime Minister Inder Kumar Gujral's nine-day-old fledgling government has been rocked by the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) plans to prosecute Bihar state Chief Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav.\n\n\"This has come as a bolt from the blue to us,\" Jaipal Reddy, spokesman of the 13-party United Front administration, told AFP.\n\nReddy said the Front, which assumed office April 21 after the coalition replaced former prime minister H.D. Deve Gowda with Gujral, was assessing the fallout of the CBI's decision.\n\n\"We are still trying to come to grips with things,\" he said as leftist partners of the centre-left coalition and the media mounted pressure on Yadav to quit his political posts and face prosecution.\n\nAnother senior Front leader asking to remain anonymous said the possible prosecution of Yadav, who also heads the centrist Janata Dal (People's Party), could effect the new government's stability.\n\n\"Yadav is an important man in the Front and this will have an impact on the government's image and stability,\" he said, but ruled out a split in the Janata Dal, which accounts for 46 of the Front's 180 members of parliament.\n\nThe Congress (I) party, which has given its parliamentary support to keep the coalition in office, however, said the crisis could herald the disintegration of the United Front.\n\n\"There never was any unity in the Front and now it will fall apart,\" Congress leader Rajesh Pilot told AFP.\n\nYadav, a wily politician, Monday refused to step down after the CBI on Sunday implicated him and 55 other politicians and bureaucrats in the 271-million-dollar financial corruption scandal.\n\nReports Tuesday said the Indian home ministry will rush federal troops to the crime-prone eastern state because of fears of a backlash.\n\nYadav has also warned he would \"govern Bihar from prison\" if he is arrested.\n\nIndia's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (Indian People's Party or BJP) and other political rivals of Yadav have called a general shutdown in Bihar on May 3 to demand his ouster.\n\nNational dailies Tuesday said Yadav must step down and warned Gujral to face his first crisis as premier with wisdom.\n\n\"Yadav must resign,\" The Pioneer said.\n\n\"To cling on limpet-like to the seat of power smacks of autocratic disregard for established norms,\" it said.\n\nBut The Pioneer warned: \"The other half of the story in the decline of Yadav is the impact it will have on the United Front.\n\n\"The knives in the United Front will soon be out, and the crisis may well prove impossible to contain,\" it said.\n\nThe Times of India said Yadav's prosecution would lead to political in-fighting.\n\nSeveral of the 55 charged by the CBI are already in jail in connection with the scandal, which surfaced January 27, 1996.\n\nThe CBI has claimed that a coterie of politicians, bureaucrats and firms in Bihar had been siphoning huge sums since 1977 from a state government fund set aside to buy cattle feed.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions":

Athletics in Asian Games\n\n\n\n\nAthletic events represent sport at its purest and are often the centerpiece of major international sporting games. They are the embodiment of the Olympic motto, Citius, Altuis, Fortius - or Faster, Higher, Stronger - with athletes pushing themselves to the limit against their opponents and the record books.\n\nAthletic events can be split into four main categories: track events, field events, road events and combined events.\n\nTrack events are running races that take place on a 400m outdoor track in the main stadium. The sprint races provide instant excitement, but look out for clever tactics and fast finishing in the longer races.\n\nField events are throwing and jumping competitions that usually take place inside the track. Strength, speed and agility are key, while tactics also come in to play in the jumping events.\n\nRoad events are long running and walking races that take place on public roads, although they often finish on the track inside the stadium. The men's and women's marathon races will take place along Doha's city streets and Corniche.\n\nCombined events feature a selection of track and field events that take place over two days and are designed to find the best all-round athlete. As such, the decathlon and heptathlon are two of the most respected gold medals.\n\nTrack and field athletes are often the main stars of any major Games, and the 15th Asian Games.\n\nHistory\n\nThe word athletics comes from the Greek \"athlos\" meaning \" contest\". A track running race, known as the \"stade\", was the first and only event at the first ancient Olympics in 776BC.\n\nLater, more running distances were added, along with the long jump and a pentathlon event which introduced the discus and javelin.\n\nThe end of the ancient Olympics in AD393 also saw the end of organized athletics for more than 1,400 years. Running, jumping and throwing competitions continued, however, on an informal basis in most civilized cultures, often as a part of military training.\n\nInterest in the Olympics was revived when archaeologists excavated ancient Olympia towards the end of the 19th century. Baron Pierre de Coubertain founded the International Olympic Committee in Paris in 1894, and the first modern Olympics followed in Athens two years later.\n\nTrack and field athletics was a major part of Athens 1896, although women did not compete until the 1928 Amsterdam Games, and then only in five events. The men's program has varied, but has become relatively standardized at all major games since 1928. Women's events, however, have gradually increased in number to almost match the men's.\n\nThe recent addition of women's pole vault, triple jump and 3, 000m steeplechase means the only exclusively male event is now the 50km race walk, although the women run over a shorter distance in the sprint hurdles, over lower hurdles in both events, and take part in a seven-event heptathlon rather than a 10-event decathlon.\n\nThe International Amateur Athletics Federation was formed in 1912 as a world governing body. IAAF has staged its own World Championships since 1983, allowing prize money from 1982. In 2001, it changed its name to the International Association of Athletics Federations.\n\nAthletics has been a part of every Asian Games, starting at New Delhi, India, in 1951.\n\nSources: Doha Asian

President George W. Bush at Raghadan Palace Wednesday night to discuss regional conflicts and the situation in Iraq.\n\nDuring the talks, the king explained Jordan's position, \"namely underlining the need to make real progress on the Palestinian issue because regional complications and challenges are due to the Palestinian problem,\" Jordanian Foreign Minister Abdul Ilah Khatib said.\n\nA just solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will help stem violence in the region, and Palestinian-Israeli peace could be a catalyst for achieving a lasting peace between Arabs and Israelis, Khatib quoted the king as saying.\n\nDuring the talks, the king urged Bush to work on moving the peace process forward by bringing together Palestinian and Israeli points of views in a bid to resume negotiations as soon as possible.\n\nThe establishment of a viable, independent Palestinian state on Palestinian soil living alongside a secure Israel is the only logical and internationally acceptable solution to the conflict, the king said.\n\nHe urged the international community and the U.S. administration to help alleviate the Palestinians' suffering and ease economic pressure on the Palestinians to enable Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to maintain national unity and reinforce security.\n\nFor his part, Bush said that the United States was committed to a two-state solution to the conflict, adding that it is necessary to create appropriate circumstances to move the peace process forward.\n\nThe two leaders also discussed sectarian violence in Iraq, Khatib said.\n\n\"The Iraqi matter was also a central issue during the discussions and the talks focused on the importance of working to rebuild stability in Iraq,\" he said.\n\nThe two leaders agreed that the Lebanese should be allowed to resolve political tension in their country without outside influence. They also discussed Iran's nuclear standoff.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "held", "start_char": 155, "end_char": 159, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE",

Argentina, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- The United States, having long regarded Latin America as its backyard, had huge difficulty in getting its message through concerning free trade, fight against corruption and democracy to the region at the 4th Summit of the Americas.\n\nMoreover, the country is facing gloomy prospects as its policies are failing and its influence further declining in the region, once Washington's close political and economic partner.\n\nIn a big setback to US President George W. Bush, the summit concluded on Saturday after adopting a final declaration that failed to clearly support the resumption of stalled talks on establishing a hemisphere-wide Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), which Washington had demanded.\n\nThis is regarded as an ominous signal to Washington that the US ambition to set up the FTAA might eventually end up in failure.\n\nWhat is worse, Bush is suffering an image crisis as his presence here drew tens of thousands of protesters and violent clashes erupted between demonstrators and police here and across the country on Friday. Polls in many Latin American nations show Bush as the least popular US leader in decades.\n\nPresident Bush's father, former President George Bush, first proposed the establishment of the FTAA in the 1990s and at the first Summit of the Americas in the United States in 1994, leaders from 34 countries who attended the summit agreed to set up such a free trade zone, setting January 2005 as the deadline.\n\nHowever, talks on such a zone have bogged down because of sharp disagreement between the United States and countries like Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.\n\nPresident Bush has insisted that free trade is the best way to reduce poverty and create employment and he pushed for resuming such trade talks at the summit. However, Bush's call fell on deaf ears.\n\nArgentina and Brazil, both major food exporters in Latin America, have made it clear that they do not want to join the FTAA as long as the United States does not remove agricultural subsidies. They complain that Washington's agricultural subsidies would eliminate the competitiveness of farm products from other American countries and increase poverty in Latin America.\n\nVenezuelan President Hugo Chavez, an outspoken critic of the United States, has said the FTAA is \"dead\" as it only helps large US companies at the expense of Latin American workers.\n\nHistorically speaking, Latin America, especially South America, has been cool to the US proposal of free trade and economic privatization as those Latin American governments that endorsed the Washington-backed policies were toppled one after another. To the dismay of Washington, key Latin American countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Venezuela have been shifting toward the left since then.\n\nLikewise, Bush's call for fighting corruption and strengthening democracy, a central theme in his second term, has drawn lukewarm response from his Latin American counterparts at the Summit of the Americas.\n\nArgentine President Nestor Kirchner, in a joint press appearance with President Bush on Friday, warned that any US involvement in Latin America should be \"positive and constructive, \" a demand that Bush might find hard to accept.\n\nBush's call for strengthening democracy and fighting corruption has little market in Latin America where poverty reduction is more urgent than corruption and democracy.\n\nMoreover, Latin America has been complaining that the United States neglected the region due to the Iraq war and the war on terrorism.\n\nObservers point out that the United States, to restore its image and influence in its traditional backyard, must first make genuine efforts to help Latin America fight poverty as nearly 40 percent of the 500 million people in the region are living in poverty and some 100 million of them are living on only 1 US dollar a day.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "had", "start_char": 246, "end_char": 249, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "STATE", "pos":

Amparano Lopez\n@ Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal \n 10/30/89 \n WALL STREET JOURNAL (J) \n BLS LINB MCAWA \n TENDER OFFERS, MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS (TNM)\nTELEPHONE SYSTEMS (TLS)\nMEDIA, PUBLISHING, BROADCASTING, ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING (MED) \n\n The bolstered cellular agreement between BellSouth Corp. and LIN Broadcasting Corp. carries heightened risks and could fail to fend off McCaw Cellular Communications Inc., the rival suitor for LIN. \n\n Moreover, the amended pact shows how McCaw's persistence has pushed LIN and BellSouth into a corner, forcing huge debt on the proposed new company. \nThe debt, estimated at $4.7 billion, could mortgage the cellular company's future earning power in order to placate some LIN holders in the short term. \n\n The plan still calls for LIN to combine its cellular telephone properties with BellSouth's and to spin off its broadcasting operations. \nBut under new terms of the agreement, announced Friday, LIN holders would receive a special cash dividend of $42 a share, representing a payout of about $2.23 billion, shortly before the proposed merger. \nLIN said it expects to borrow the money to pay the dividend, but commitments from banks still have n't been obtained. \nUnder previous terms, holders would have received a dividend of only $20 a share. \n\n In addition, New York-based LIN would exercise its right to buy out for $1.9 billion the 55% equity interest of its partner, Metromedia Co., in a New York cellular franchise. \nThat money also would have to be borrowed. \nIn effect, McCaw has forced LIN's hand by bidding $1.9 billion for the stake earlier this month. \n\n \"We're taking on more debt than we would have liked to,\" acknowledged Michael Plouf, LIN's vice president and treasurer. \nAlthough he expressed confidence that the proposed new company's cash flow would be sufficient to cover interest payments on the debt, he estimated that the company would n't be profitable until 1994 or later. \n\n Analyst estimate the value of the BellSouth proposal at about $115 to $125 a share. \nThey value McCaw's bid at $112 to $118 a share. \nThe previous BellSouth pact was valued at about $98 to $110 a share. \n\n McCaw, the largest provider of cellular telephone service in the U.S., already owns about 9.4% of LIN's stock. \nIn response to BellSouth's amended pact, the Kirkland, Wash., company extended its own offer to buy 22 million LIN shares for $125 apiece, which would give McCaw a 50.3% controlling interest. \nOver the weekend, McCaw continued to call for an auction of LIN. Analysts said they expect McCaw to escalate the bidding again. \n\n \"This game is n't over yet , \" said Joel D. Gross, a vice president at Donaldson, Lufkin amp Jenrette Securities Corp. \n\"At some point, it will become non-economical for one company. \nBut I do n't think we're at that point yet.\" \n\n Under its revised proposal, Atlanta-based BellSouth would have a 50% interest in the new cellular company and would be responsible for half of its debt. \nTo sweeten the pact further -- and to ease concerns of institutional investors -- BellSouth added a provision designed to give extra protection to holders if the regional Bell company ever decides to buy the rest of the new cellular company. \nThe provision, described as \"back-end\" protection, would require BellSouth to pay a price equivalent to what an outside party might have to pay. \n\n McCaw's bid also has a similar clause. \nOnly McCaw's proposal requires the company to begin an auction process in June 1994 for remaining shares at third-party prices. \n\n To mollify shareholders concerned about the long-term value of the company under the BellSouth-LIN agreement, BellSouth also agreed to pay as much as $10 a share, or $540 million, if, after five years, the trading value of the new cellular company isn't as high as the value that shareholders would have realized from the McCaw offer. \n\n \"We're very pleased with the new deal. \nWe did n't expect BellSouth to be so responsive,\" said Frederick A. Moran, president of Moran Asset Management Inc., which holds 500,000 LIN shares. \nBellSouth's \"back-end protection was flawed previously. \nWe think this is a superior deal to McCaw's. \nWe're surprised. \nWe did n't think a sleeping {Bell} mentality would be willing to take on dilution.\" \n\n But Kenneth Leon, a telecommunications analyst with Bear, Stearns amp Co., finds the BellSouth proposal still flawed because the company does n't have to wait five years to begin buying more LIN shares. \n\"How many shares will be around in 1995?\" he asked. \n\"There's nothing preventing BellSouth from buying up shares in the meanwhile.\" \n\n BellSouth's revised proposal surprised many industry analysts, especially because of the company's willingness to accept some dilution of future earnings. \nWilliam O. McCoy, president of the company's BellSouth Enterprises Inc. unit, said the revised agreement with LIN would dilute BellSouth earnings by about 9% in both 1990 and 1991 and by significantly less thereafter. \nIndeed, BellSouth's cellular operations were among the first in the country to become profitable. \n\n For 1988, BellSouth earned $1.7 billion, or $3.51 a share, on revenue of $13.6 billion. \nAnalysts were predicting 1990 BellSouth earnings in the range of $3.90 a share, or $1.9 billion, but now those estimates are being scaled back. \n\n In composite trading Friday on the New York Stock Exchange, BellSouth shares fell 87.5 cents to $52.125. \n\n In national over-the-counter trading, LIN shares soared $4.625 to closed at $112.625, while McCaw fell $2.50 a share to $37.75. \n\n The proposed BellSouth-LIN cellular company, including the newly acquired Metromedia stake, would give the new entity 55 million potential customers, including about 35 million in the nation's top 10 markets. \n\n Mr. Leon of Bear Stearns speculated that McCaw, in an attempt to buy time, might consider filing an antitrust suit against BellSouth with the Justice Department and U.S. District Judge Harold Greene, who oversees enforcement of the consent decree that broke up the Bell system in 1984. \n\n Indeed, McCaw seemed to hint at that option in a brief statement. \nUrging LIN directors to conduct \"a fair auction on a level playing field,\" McCaw asked how well the public interest would be served \"with the Bell operating companies controlling over 94% of all cellular {potential customers} in the nation's top 10 markets.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "agreement", "start_char": 468, "end_char": 477, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei2573", "type": "STATE",
