{"text": "AFP_ENG_20051215.0505\n\nKABUL, Dec 15 , 2005\n\nDonkey used to attack German aid group in Afghanistan\n\n\n\n\nExplosives strapped to a donkey were detonated near a German aid agency's vehicle in northern Afghanistan but the blast caused no human casualties, police said Thursday.\n\nThe explosives, stuffed into a pressure cooker strapped to the donkey's back, detonated near the car belonging to the aid group in Faizabad, capital of northeastern Badakhshan province, police commander Shah Jahan Noori said.\n\nHe blamed the attack, which took place Wednesday, on \"terrorist organisations who do not want Afghanistan's stability\".\n\n\"We're investigating whether it was a remote-controlled bomb or one of those time bombs,\" Noori told AFP.\n\nThe car of the aid group, GTZ, was slightly damaged in the explosion.\n\nWhile the police chief did not name any particular group for the blast, most bombings in Afghanistan are blamed on remnants of the ousted Taliban regime although they occur largely in the insurgency-hit south and east.\n\nIt appeared to be the first time a donkey was used to carry out an attack since the Taliban launched an insurgency against the new US-backed government.\n\nInsurgents in Iraq have used the animals to pull a cart from which rockets were fired.\n\nNoori said an investigation into the bombing would reveal if the use of donkeys was a new tactic of the Taliban, who frequently use improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in their attacks.\n\n\"An investigation has been launched. We will in future check donkeys laden with suspicious items,\" he said.\n\nThe animals are plentiful in mountainous Badakhshan.\n\nThe Taliban were overthrown in a US-led invasion in four years ago and are trying to claw their way back into power with regular but usually small-scale attacks on government and foreign forces, and groups allied with the administration, including aid organisations.\n\nThere has been an increase in the number of bombings blamed on the Taliban, with about 10 suicide attacks since late September which analysts say suggest the militants are adopting some of the techniques used by insurgents in Iraq.\n\nThe latest was in a mosque in the main northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif Wednesday which caused no casualties besides the bomber. It was unclear if the attacker was linked to the Taliban and other insurgents, or driven by personal enmity.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "strapped", "start_char": 114,

Chinese envoy\n\n\n\n\nThe Security Council expansion should give priority to increasing the representation of developing countries in the United Nations' most powerful organ, particularly African nations, Chinese Ambassador to the UN Wang Guangya stressed on Thursday.\n\nAddressing the UN General Assembly, Wang reaffirmed China's support for necessary and rational reform of the council, including its expansion and the improvement of its working methods, in order to maintain its authority, increase its efficiency and strengthen its role.\n\nHe pointed out that the council expansion should be in line with the democratization trend of international relations and give priority to enhancing the representation of developing countries.\n\n\"Democratization of international relations is a global trend, which should also find its reflection in the Security Council,\" he said. \"While developing countries account for more than two thirds of the entire UN membership, they are seriously under-represented in the Security Council.\"\n\nChina holds that the council expansion should give priority to augmenting the representation of developing countries in general and African countries in particular, and increase opportunities for more countries, particularly small and medium-sized countries, to participate in the council's decision-making process, Wang noted.\n\n\"A reform package that addresses only the concerns of a few states while disregarding those of the majority and treats African and other developing countries inequitably will lead to nowhere,\" he warned.\n\nWang also emphasized that the council enlargement should adhere to the principle of equitable geographical distribution and ensure the representation of different cultures and civilizations.\n\nHe reiterated China's opposition to imposing an artificial deadline for the council expansion or forcing any expansion proposal through the General Assembly by putting it to a vote.\n\n\"The council reform should be based on democratic discussion with a view to reaching the broadest possible consensus. No artificial deadline should be set, nor should a vote be imposed,\" he said.\n\n\"Only when this approach is followed can the relevant decisions command the widest possible trust and support, and meet the common long-term interests of all member states,\" he added.\n\nThe Security Council is currently composed of five veto-holding permanent members -- China, the United States, Russia, France and Britain -- and 10 elected members with two year terms.

win on the fourth day of the second Test at Kingsmead Friday.\n\nIndia were 18 for one at tea, with Virender Sehwag out for eight when he edged Makhaya Ntini to Graeme Smith at first slip.\n\nNeeding a win to square the three-match series, South Africa batted aggressively despite losing six wickets for 44 runs at one stage before lunch.\n\nShaun Pollock made a stroke-filled 63 not out to enable South Africa to declare their second innings at 265 for eight.\n\nThere were nominally a maximum of 146 overs for India's second innings but bad light stopped play early on each of the first three days. Clouds were building up and the floodlights were switched on soon after the innings started.\n\nBoth Sehwag and Wasim Jaffer edged balls which fell short of the slip cordon and Sehwag edged one for four at catchable height through a vacant fourth slip, only to be caught off the next ball when he played forward defensively.\n\nIndian captain Rahul Dravid edged Andre Nel just short of Andrew Hall at third slip before he had scored. He was on one at tea, with Jaffer on six.\n\nPollock shared quick-scoring half-century stands with Hall and Morne Morkel as South Africa recovered from a top order collapse.\n\nShanthakumuran Sreesanth, India's exciting young fast bowler, took three of the wickets as South Africa collapsed from 99 for no wicket to 143 for six. Sreesanth finished with four for 79, taking his tally for the series to 16.\n\nVRV Singh made the first breakthrough, dismissing AB de Villiers for 47, but Sreesanth then took three wickets in eight balls to plunge the home team into trouble.\n\nOne of Sreesanth's victims was South African captain Graeme Smith, who emerged from a batting slump to make 58. Smith made his runs off 81 balls and hit 11 fours before trying to whip a straight ball through the leg side and having his off stump knocked back.\n\nBut Pollock regained the initiative for South Africa in a 99-ball innings which included 10 fours. Hall (21) helped him put on 70 in 68 minutes for the seventh wicket before Morkel (27) shared in a 52-run stand in 50 minutes for the eighth wicket.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions":

Campagne\n\n\n\n\nZairean rebels' success in taking their country's second city Lubumbashi last week, was due in part to the goodwill of neighbouring Zambia, according to residents living along the border.\n\nIn the sleepy border town of Kipushi about 30 kilometres (19 miles) southwest of Lubumbashi, the people claimed that troops of rebel leader Laurent Kabila infiltrated via Zambia on Monday and seized control of their town virtually without a fight.\n\n\"We heard three shots at around 06:00 a.m., then nothing else. The soldiers surrendered right away. The rebels were in control almost immediately,\" said one man who asked not to be identified.\n\n\"The first of the rebels, arrived on food and looked tired as theough they had been marching for a long time. The others seemed in better shape. There are serious grounds for believing that some arrived during the night by lorry from Zambia,\" he said.\n\nAccording to some reports reaching Lubumbashi and which it was not possible to verify, Kabila's men have a base camp about 30 kilometres (19 miles) inside Zambian territory where \"wasungu\" - white men in Swahili - have been spotted recently.\n\nKipushi is the most straightforward access route to Lubumbashi from Zambia over a narrow but good road through the bush and which is well maintained because of the large amount of commercial traffic which uses it.\n\nAnother route to Lubumbashi which is wider but lies 100 kilometres (60 miles) away passes through Kasumbalesa.\n\nWhen the rebels captured Kasenga, 200 kilometres (125 miles) northeast of Lubumbashi at the end of March, they also went through Zambia to catch the Zairean soldiers from the rear, according to informed sources.\n\nThe fall of Lubumbashi came as Zambia refused permission to Belgian troops to base soldiers at Ndola on the Zambian side of the border in readiness for an evacuation of foreign nationals from Lubumbashi.\n\nThe rebel victory also came the day after Rwandan strongman General Paul Kagame spelled out clearly that the Kabila had the support of countries of the Great Lakes region.\n\nThe rebel troops also benefitted from the active support of the local population, in Kipushi and in Lubumbashi.\n\nIn Lubumbashi, local people showed the rebels where to find the soldiers of the elite Zairean Presidential Security Division (DSP) whose men had chosen to resist the rebel advance rather than grabbing what they could and fleeing as the Zairean army had been wont to do elsewhere.\n\nOutside the DSP headquarters south of the city, local people deliberately misled the driver of a DSP tank about where the rebels were coming in. He was caught off guard and killed by the rebels.\n\nIt was the people of Lubumbashi who recognised and handed over to the rebels, Colonel Kinene, the DSP chief as he was fleeing disguised in civilian clothes and in possession of 20,000 dollars. In this way the DSP was made to pay for the numerous abuses committed by the soldiers in the city.\n\nEven without such help, Kabila's men would probably have captured Lubumbashi but it would have taken them much longer and exacted a much heavier toll on rebel forces.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "taking", "start_char": 186, "end_char": 192, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

Khurshid Kasuri will visit Afghanistan this week for talks on curbing the Taliban insurgency by holding a traditional gathering of tribal leaders on both sides of the border, the foreign ministry said Monday.\n\nKasuri's December 7-9 visit was part of regular contact between the two countries, during which he would discuss bilateral relations, the ministry's spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam told reporters.\n\n\"Basically he would discuss how to bring about peace and calm in the bordering areas of the two countries,\" she said at a weekly briefing.\n\nKasuri would hold follow-up discussions with his Afghan counterpart, Rangeen Dadfar Spanta, on decisions made by Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf and Afghan President Hamid Karzai during their joint meeting with US President George W. Bush at the White House in September, she said.\n\nThey would also discuss the proposal for holding a joint jirga, or gathering or tribal elders, on both sides of the border.\n\n\"The focus would be on how to activate this traditional institution to bring down violence and promote peace in the border areas,\" Aslam said.\n\nKarzai, concerned about the growing insurgency in his country, proposed convening a jirga at the Washington meeting amid tensions between the neighbours, who blamed each other for not doing enough to rein in the militants.\n\nEthnic Pashtuns living on both sides of the border have for centuries used jirgas to resolve internal disputes.\n\nKasuri would also discuss the strategy Pakistan was following in its rugged tribal belt, where the government signed a peace deal with pro-Taliban militants in September to curb violence.\n\n\"We hope that something on similar lines, a comprehensive strategy, can be developed in Afghanistan,\" Aslam said.\n\n\"If implemented, that (would have) not only a political dimension -- national reconciliation -- but also an economic component for reconstruction.\"\n\nPakistan, a key ally in the US-led \"war on terror\" has deployed 80,000 troops along the frontier to stop militants launching attacks in Afghanistan.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "visit", "start_char": 165, "end_char": 170, "eid":

countries\n\n\n\n\nThe United Nations Climate Change Conference wrapped up in Nairobi late Friday with the adoption of a wide range of decisions which are seen as a boost to the adaptation of developing countries to the effects of global warming.\n\n\"The conference has delivered on its promise to support the needs of developing countries,\" said Conference President Kivutha Kibwana, who is also the Kenyan Minister for Natural Resources and Environment. \"The positive spirit of the conference has prevailed, \" he added.\n\nA statement issued at the press conference after the meeting said the \"spirit of Nairobi\" prevails as the climate change conference held first time in sub-Sahara Africa successfully concluded.\n\nThe success is manifested in several agreements. At the meeting, activities for the next few years under the \"Nairobi Work Program on Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation\" were agreed. These activities will help enhance decision-making on adaptation action and improved assessment of vulnerability and adaptation to climate change.\n\nAnother important outcome, according to the statement, is the agreement on the management of the Adaptation Fund under the Kyoto Protocol, which will be helpful to support concrete adaptation activities in developing countries.\n\nDelegates also welcome the \"Nairobi Framework\" announced by the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, which will provide additional support to developing countries to successfully develop projects for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).\n\nThe CDM permits industrialized countries, which have emission targets under the Kyoto Protocol, to invest in sustainable development projects in developing countries that reduce greenhouse gas emission, and thereby generate tradable emission credits.\n\nOfficials said rules were finalized for the Special Climate Change Fund, which is another concrete progress at the conference. The fund is designed to finance projects in developing countries relating to adaptation, technology transfer, climate change mitigation and economic diversification for countries highly dependent on income from fossil fuels.\n\n\"The spirit of Nairobi has been truly remarkable,\" Kibwana said.\n\n\"Let us now use the momentum of this conference to carry this spirit forward and jointly undertake the kind of concerted action we need for humankind to have a future on this planet,\" he added.\n\nThe next round of negotiations under the Kyoto Protocol and talks under the United Nations Climate Change Convention will be held in Bonn, Germany in May 2007.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "wrapped", "start_char": 175, "end_char": 182, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1",

after going 1-1 with a 2.49 ERA in four postseason starts with the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals.\n\nThe signing of Suppan came one day after the San Francisco Giants signed Barry Zito to a multi-year deal worth a reported 126 million dollars - the largest contract for a pitcher in major-league history.\n\nThe Most Valuable Player of the NL championship series, Suppan went 12-7 with a 4.12 ERA in 32 starts last season for the Cardinals.\n\nThe righthander is 44-26 with a 3.95 ERA over the past three years, posting consecutive 16-win campaigns in 2004 and 2005.\n\n\"With 44 wins in the last three seasons, Jeff is not only a proven winner, he is also one of the most durable pitchers in baseball,\" Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said. \"This agreement makes us feel very good about the depth of our rotation. Jeff's experience and durability should have a positive influence on our entire pitching staff.\"\n\nSuppan will join a Brewers' rotation which includes lefthander Chris Capuano and righthanders Ben Sheets, Dave Bush and Claudio Vargas, who was acquired for starter Doug Davis in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks on November 25.\n\nIn 12 seasons with the Boston Red Sox, Kansas City Royals, Arizona, Pittsburgh and St. Louis, Suppan is 106-101 with a 4.60 ERA in 317 career games.

first test Wednesday as Britain's new opposition leader at the weekly prime minister's questions in parliament -- a battle of wits with Tony Blair over burning political issues.\n\nFresh from his decisive victory Tuesday as Conservative Party leader, the telegenic, eloquent and youthful Cameron will fire the opening shots in a revitalized campaign aimed at returning his party to power.\n\nAnd newspaper pundits say Cameron -- the fifth Conservative leader to face Blair -- has raised hopes he will produce the first credible opposition to Blair's Labour Party since it swept into Downing Street in 1997.\n\nAt 39, he promises to be the upstart that Blair was when he became Labour leader in 1994 at about the same age. Cameron was a virtual unknown six months ago and has spent only four years in parliament.\n\nThe first test for Cameron comes at 1200 GMT in parliament when Blair, 51, stands before the House of Commons to answer questions from MPs about a range of topics, including the economy, crime, education, health and foreign policy.\n\nHe takes over from the older and more experienced Michael Howard, a former interior minister, at an event which is usually a rowdy, knockabout half-hour in which withering wit is used to stir cheers and jeers in the chamber.\n\nCameron, who has shown his cool in tough television interviews, has vowed not to play the politics of \"Punch and Judy,\" two British puppet characters who engage in tit-for-tat taunts, but pundits doubt he can stay above the fray.\n\n\"What he's got to do (Wednesday) is survive and it will be nerve-wracking,\" according to Gyles Brandreth, who as a Conservative government whip in the 1990s saw prominent colleagues tremble during the event.\n\nBrandreth told BBC's Newsnight program it will be \"very difficult when you're actually performing inside the Punch and Judy tent\" to avoid the adversarial dynamic.\n\nAmong other upcoming challenges will be naming his shadow cabinet, his team of spokespeople to scrutinize government ministers. He has already promoted Patrick McLoughlin from deputy to chief whip, the main enforcer of party discipline.\n\nBut the job Cameron offers to current interior affairs spokesman David Davis, who lost the party leadership runoff on Tuesday, could be crucial to party unity.\n\nBitter internal splits helped bring about the Conservatives' downfall in 1997 after 18 years in office.\n\nIt was the party that had dominated British government during the 20th century under such political titans as former PMs Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.\n\nAnd battered by three successive election defeats in eight years at the hands of Blair's Labour Party, the Conservatives are hoping Cameron's prescription of compassion and tolerance can revive their fortunes.\n\nThe trick will be to keep the party from drifting to the right and move it to the center, just as Blair managed to shift Labour from the left to the middle, pundits say.\n\nThe new Conservative leader may have to wait until May 2010 for a general election, when he would likely face Blair's finance minister and heir apparent Gordon Brown.\n\n\"It is going to be a huge challenge. We have a vast mountain to climb,\" Cameron admitted.\n\nHe pledged to change the fact that nine out of 10 Conservative MPs are white men and tackle the \"scandalous\" under-representation of women in the party.\n\nThe left-leaning Independent newspaper, which has taken Blair to task over the war in Iraq and its anti-terrorism policies, ran an editorial on Cameron under the headline: \"A mandate for change that must not be squandered.\n\n\"Britain has been without a serious party of opposition for the best part of a decade now. David Cameron's election as Tory leader gives us hope that we may, finally, get one back,\" it said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "faces", "start_char": 110, "end_char":

Nov. 14 , 2005 (Xinhua)\n\nNation cuddles Olympic mascots\n\n\n\n\nNation cuddles Olympic mascots\n\nBy Zhou Yan\n\nBEIJING, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- A panda cub waited for 10 weeks to get a name. Newborn babies are named after them. Anxious buyers thronged department stores for cuddly stuffed toys.\n\nBei Bei, Jing Jing, Huan Huan, Ying Ying and Ni Ni won the hearts of the entire Chinese nation at the very instant they were unveiled as mascots of the 2008 summer Olympiad to be held in Beijing.\n\nThe giant panda breeding research base in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province, named a 10-week old female panda cub \"Jing Jing\" on Saturday -- exactly the same name as the mascot giant panda.\n\nThe cub was born on Aug. 30 but was never named, said zoologists with the Chengdu base. \"We hope she'll grow up healthily and witness the Beijing Olympiad. The mascot will bring her good luck.\"\n\nPanda researchers at the base said they have archived Jing Jing's pictures and all important data at www.panda.org.cn. \"Everyone can send her greetings online,\" they said.\n\nJing Jing was born 152 grams and now weighs 4,266 grams. Her mother, 15, was named \"Ya Ya (Asia)\" because she was born in 1990, the year Beijing hosted the 11th Asian Games. Jing Jing's father, the handsomest \"panda prince\" at the Chengdu base, was named \"Ke Bi\" by former International Olympic Committee President Samaranch.\n\nA baby boy born at 8:00 p.m. Friday in Beijing has been named Bei Bei, the name of the Carp, the first of the five mascots.\n\n\"My wife and I were watching the televised gala and guessing which candidate would stand out when the doctors said she should have a Caesarean section,\" said Mr. Hu, the new father. \"She was sent back to the ward with the baby at the very moment the five mascots were announced.\"\n\nHu and his wife then agreed they would name the baby after one of the mascots.\n\nThe Olympic mascots Beijing announced on Friday were cartoon renditions of a panda, a carp, a Tibetan antelope, a swallow and the Olympic flame, each one the color of one of the Olympic rings.\n\nStarting on Saturday, stuffed toys and commemorative coins of the five mascots have opened a marketing blitz.\n\nSaturday morning found anxious crowds waiting outside major department stores in Beijing before the business hours.\n\n\"It's a great idea to have five mascots because the Chinese believe in 'wufu' (five happiness),\" said a senior citizen surnamed Yu. Yu left his home in the northwestern suburbs of Beijing at 5:00 a.m. to buy a full set of the mascots at one of the city's oldest department stores in the downtown Wangfujing commercial street.\n\nNanjing, a boom city in east China's Jiangsu Province, has ordered air shipments of the stuffed toys from Beijing to meet the demands of anxious buyers.\n\n\"On Saturday and Sunday alone, we sold 400,000 yuan (nearly 50,000 US dollars) of the toy mascots,\" said Li Qiaosheng, general manager of Xinbai Department Store, one of the biggest in Nanjing.\n\nYet some citizens' love for the Olympic mascots went irrational. The Beijing Metro decorated all subway trains with dainty pictures of the Olympic mascots on the handrails but by Sunday afternoon, nearly a half of the pictures had gone.\n\nMost of the pictures stolen represented Jing Jing the Panda and Huan Huan the Olympic Flame, said a Beijing Metro employee.\n\n\"Of course everyone loves the pretty mascots,\" said a subway rider who gave only his surname as Zhang. \"But it's a shame to steal the pictures. The Olympic Games is an occasion to present China to the world -- we should present our good images.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "cuddles", "start_char": 99,

"AFP_ENG_20061202.0540\n\nYEREVAN, Dec 3 , 2006, 2006\n\n=(PICTURE)=\n\n\n\n\nCut off from world energy markets, the mountainous state of Armenia is making a virtue of adversity and may be leading the world in using cleaner car fuel, officials say.\n\nWhile the European Union is looking at 2020 before 10 percent of vehicles there will use alternative fuel, in Armenia up to 30 percent of cars already run on clean compressed gas, officials here say.\n\nThis statistic includes about 45,000 private cars and 90 percent of public transport.\n\nSuch high levels of clean fuel use are due \"to the fact that Armenia, which has no energy resources of its own, is trying to use the most affordable alternative fuel,\" said Pavel Siradegian, a transport ministry official.\n\nIn this the ex-Soviet republic appears be leading a trend. Around the world some five million vehicles are run on compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas, according to the United States energy department's Internet site.\n\nNatural gas vehicles are just as safe as conventional petrol and diesel-fuelled ones and produce lower harmful emissions, the department says.\n\nIn Armenia, the switch has its origins in the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.\n\nBefore then, Armenia got petrol from its oil-rich neighbour Azerbaijan, but after the two countries plunged into a war over the Armenian-populated enclave of Nagorny Karabakh, Armenia cut ties with both Azerbaijan and Turkey.\n\nArmenia buys its gas from Russia for 110 dollars (77 euros) per 1,000 cubic metres, with 84 percent of the population having access to gas at home.\n\nThe gas used for cars is three or four times cheaper than petrol and half the price of diesel fuel \"and so people convert to gas of their own accord,\" Siradegian said.\n\nThe gas containers are usually imported from Russia or Italy and are installed in the car's trunk at licensed centres -- an operation that costs the equivalent of 700 to 1,000 dollars (530-760 euros).\n\n\"Even with such high installation prices it's cheaper to use gas than petrol. A 20-litre-canister of petrol would cost some 17 dollars, while topping up with gas costs only four dollars,\" said the head of Yerevan's Ultra taxi service, Aram Hachian, who has converted all his cars.\n\n\"If we used petrol, many people here wouldn't be able to afford a taxi,\" he said.\n\nArmenia currently has 140 filling stations equipped with gas compressing equipment.\n\n\"Drivers have no fear of being left without fuel,\" Siradegian said.\n\nBut some admit the choice has been forced on them.\n\n\"If I were rich, I'd fill my car with petrol because gas is bad for your engine and it is not very nice carrying an 80-kilogramme container in your trunk,\" said one Yerevan resident, 37-year-old Artem.\n\nAt the country's environment ministry, officials hail the benefits of increased gas use after the damage done to the environment in the 1990s.\n\n\"Switching to gas has been a real salvation for... Armenia, whose forests suffered very much during the energy crisis,\" said environment official Martin Tsarukian.\n\n\"Gas-using cars emit half the amount of nitric oxide than petrol-driven cars,\" he said. \"Conversion to gas was an economic necessity, but there have been ecological benefits as a result.\"\n\nThe ministry is aware that the popularity of compressed gas could be time-limited if the country pulls itself out of economic hardship -- the average salary is currently 100 dollars a month.\n\nBut it is now looking at ways of ensuring drivers stick to compressed gas -- for example through tax benefits.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "Cut", "start_char": 68, "end_char": 71, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "VERB", "tense":

{"text": "AFP_ENG_20051211.0007\n\nKUALA LUMPUR, Dec 11 , 2005\n\n= (PICTURES) =\n\n\n\n\nMalaysia's former premier Mahathir Mohamad is revelling in the spotlight as the region's leaders come to town, proving old habits die hard after two decades on the international stage.\n\nAlthough officially retired since 2003, the irrepressible 80-year-old has grabbed attention by accusing Australia of crashing the party and launching a tirade against his former protege Anwar Ibrahim.\n\nMahathir, who shaped modern Malaysia during his long term in power and remains a high-profile figure on the political scene, first conceived of the summit, which holds its inaugural gathering Wednesday.\n\nBut much to his chagrin, what was intended as a \"caucus without caucasians\" has now come to include Australia and New Zealand -- as a counterweight to China in the absence of the United States.\n\n\"Now, Australia is basically European and it has made clear to the rest of the world that it is the deputy sheriff for America,\" Mahathir said acidly last week.\n\n\"I am afraid that, knowing Asians, who are always very polite and do not like to appear to be recalcitrant, the views of Australia are likely to dominate,\" he said.\n\nHis jab at Australia, whose then-premier Paul Keating dubbed him \"recalcitrant\" for refusing to attend a 1993 regional summit, apparently hit the mark.\n\nAustralia's Foreign Minister Alexander Downer on Saturday lashed out at a reporter who relayed the suggestion that his country would act as a proxy for America in a new 16-nation bloc.\n\n\"I think even you could move beyond the puerile allegations of a 'deputy sheriff,'\" he snapped at a reporter.\n\nIt was left to Malaysia's Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar to defend Canberra's presence, saying the summit had moved beyond a geographical definition that would have excluded Australia.\n\nMahathir handed over to current Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi two years ago, but the new administration is still trying to step out of the shadow of the long-time leader who remains one of Asia's best-known political figures.\n\nHe held court again over the weekend, issuing a new broadside against his one-time deputy Anwar, who was sacked in 1998 and jailed on corruption and sodomy charges.\n\nAnwar was freed in September 2004 after six years behind bars, and is now storming back onto Malaysia's political landscape with new leadership ambitions.\n\nBut Mahathir maintained Saturday that although Anwar's sodomy conviction has been overturned, he was still not in the clear and should accept that his political days are over -- just like his own.\n\n\"The judge said he was involved in homosexual acts but not on that day. He is not fully innocent,\" he said.\n\n\"It is time for younger leaders now. There may be in the future an opportunity for him to make a comeback. But he will be old by then. His chances are very slim.\"\n\nMahathir said he hoped that the ruling United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) that has produced every Malaysian prime minister since independence from Britain in 1957 would not take Anwar back.\n\n\"I would be sorry if UMNO were to agree to his comeback,\" he said. \"(But) Anwar is quite capable of doing things you do not expect of him ... it would not be surprising if he joined UMNO.\"\n\nOnce considered an Asian political star, Anwar was famously beaten up by the then-police chief after his arrest, a saga that made world headlines.\n\nThe row is still being fought in the courts, and Anwar was this year awarded 1.2 million dollars in damages over a book that aired the sodomy allegations.\n\nHe also won a public apology over the beating as well as undisclosed damages, a result he hailed as a step forward for human rights in the country.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "revelling", "start_char": 117, "end_char":

four-year low of 5.3 percent in the August-October period, the Census Statistics Department said Thursday.\n\nThe figure was down from 5.5 percent in the July-September period, the department said in a report, adding that the underemployment rate also dropped, from 2.6 percent to 2.5 percent.\n\nDuring past three months, the number of unemployed dropped by 12,700 to 193,000 -- the first time in four years the number has fallen below the 200,000 mark. The number of underemployed also dropped, from 95,000 to 90,000.\n\nMeanwhile, total employment grew by 24,400 to an all-time high of 3,416,000, with total labor force rising to 3,609,000 from 3,597,300.\n\nThe department said a drop in unemployment was seen in the restaurant, hotel, manufacturing, decoration and maintenance, and transport sectors, while underemployment rate falls were mainly seen in foundation and superstructure construction, restaurant and miscellaneous personal-services sectors.\n\nThe jobless situation improved because employment growth continued to outstrip labor-force growth, the department added.\n\nIn the first 10 months, the Labor Department received 356,878 private-sector vacancies, up 20 percent over the full-year figure of 297,186 in 2004.\n\nIn the same period, the department placed 93,029 job-seekers into jobs, up 8 percent over the full-year figure of 86,257 in 2004.\n\nThe near-term outlook will depend on the state of business activity and job creation in the corporate sector in the run-up to the Christmas and New Year holidays, the report said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "fell", "start_char": 151,

Corp. Wednesday said it had cut to A-3 from A-2 the short term counterparty rating of Thailand's Bank of Ayudhya but affirmed a BBB long-term counterparty rating.\n\nBank of Ayudhya's rating has now been removed from CreditWatch, where it was placed on March 18, the agency said in a statement, but added the outlook was negative.\n\nAn \"A\" rating is defined as a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal in a timely manner but susceptible to outside negative factors.\n\nStandard and Poor's said it had some concerns about the deteriorating condition of Thailand's finance sector, which has come under pressure with the downturn in the property market and the economic slowdown.\n\n\"The extent of the downturn is expected to be more significant and prolonged than is currently expected by both the regulators and the individual banks,\" it said, reiterating concerns made earlier this month.\n\n\"Recent initiatives announced by the Bank of Thailand may not be sufficient to contain problems within the property sector, resulting in a substantial rise in the current level of non-performing loans,\" it said.\n\nThe downgrade of the short-term counterparty rating recognises system- wide liquidity concerns and the banks higher vulnerability here relative to other commercial banks, the agency said.\n\nThe announcement came a week after Moody's Investors Services said it was lowering foreign currency ceilings for Thai bonds and bank deposits from A2 to A3 on concerns about the country's current account deficit.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

Goals\n\n\n\n\nThe Asian-Pacific Rim foreign and trade ministers on Wednesday reaffirmed their commitment to achieving the Bogor Goals of free and open trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific region by 2010 for developed members and 2020 for developing members as stipulated in the Bogor Declaration.\n\nAfter wrapping up a two-day meeting in South Korea's southeastern port city of Busan prior to an Economic Leaders' Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, the ministers expressed the need of APEC to adapt its focus accordingly and to continue to deliver concrete and business relevant outcomes in the years ahead to realize the Bogor Goals.\n\nThe Bogor Goals, named after the city in Indonesia where they were declared in 1994, specify APEC objectives for eliminating developed members' trade and investment barriers by 2010, and those of developing members by 2020.\n\nBan Ki-moon, South Korea's minister of foreign affairs and trade who chaired this year's APEC Ministerial Meeting, said considerable progress has been made toward APEC's central Bogor Goals.\n\n\"The results of the mid-term stocktaking of progress toward the Bogor Goals show that APEC has made great strides in liberalizing trade and investment during the past 16 years,\" he told a press conference after concluding the ministerial meeting.\n\n\"The ministers agreed that, while the APEC agenda should be revitalized to keep pace with the new international trade environment, APEC must ensure that the achievement of the Bogor Goals,\" said a joint statement issued following the APEC Ministerial Meeting.\n\nIn order to accelerate progress toward the Bogor Goals, the ministers also emphasized the Busan Roadmap to the Bogor Goals, which outlines key priorities and frameworks, such as support for the multilateral trading system, strengthening collective and individual actions, promotions of high-quality regional trade agreements and free trade agreements (RTAs/FTAs), the Busan Business Agenda, said the joint statement.\n\nThe ministers also reaffirmed their deep commitment to the multilateral trading system and their support for the World Trade Organization (WTO).\n\n\"APEC economies would continue to make contribution toward the successful outcome of the WTO DDA negotiations and that the APEC Geneva Caucus must redouble its collective efforts to advance the negotiations in all areas of the Doha Development Agenda,\" the ministers said.\n\n\"Once the results of the DDA negotiations were known, APEC members would need to consider what further liberalization steps would be needed to help reach the Bogor Goals,\" the ministers said in the joint statement.\n\nThe ministers agreed that Individual Action Plans (IAPs) and Collective Action Plans (CAPs) were the major vehicles in achieving the Bogor Goals.\n\nThe APEC ministers agreed that high-quality RTAs/FTAs maximized the contribution of those agreements to APEC-wide progress toward the Bogor Goals.\n\nMinisters agreed that APEC would develop by 2008 comprehensive model measures as many commonly accepted RTA/FTA chapters as possible for trade facilitation, said the joint statement.\n\nDuring their two-day meeting, the APEC ministers finalized the wording of statements for the Economic Leaders'Meeting slated on Nov. 18-19.\n\nSince its inception in 1989 in response to the growing interdependence among Asia-Pacific economies, APEC has become a formidable regional forum acting as the primary regional vehicle for promoting open trade and practical economic and technical cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.\n\nAPEC account for more than one-third of the world's population (2.6 billion people), about 60 percent of world GDP and nearly half of world trade. It represents the most economically dynamic region in the world, having generated nearly 70 percent of global economic growth in its first 10 years.\n\nAPEC currently has 21 members: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, China, China's Hong Kong, Chinese Taipei, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam.

treasury secretary in former Saigon by Frederik Balfour\n\n\n\n\nIn a rare meeting between one of the driving forces of the capitalist world and one of Asia's main communist leaders, US Secretary Treasury Robert Rubin held talks Tuesday with Vietnamese communist party chief Do Muoi.\n\nThe 55-minute meeting was described by Rubin as \"very focused on the economic development in Vietnam.\"\n\nMuoi \"stressed the 4,000 year history of the country and the fact that much of it has been a troubled history and a proud history. What he would really like to see now is for Vietnam to grow economically,\" Rubin told reporters after the meeting.\n\nRubin, who is the first US treasury secretary to ever visit Vietnam, said the meeting was similar to Monday's talks with Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet in Hanoi when they discussed moving ahead on full economic normalisation and impediments faced by US businesses in Vietnam.\n\nRubin said Muoi told him he \"hoped we could move on the various aspects of economic normalisation at a good pace.\"\n\nBut the communist leader also said \"he understood that each of these things involves complications.\"\n\nRubin said there was clearly warm feelings between Vietnam and the United States.\n\n\"He said he had the impression that there is a lot of goodwill towards Vietnam in the congress and the United States, though there were some people that were more reluctant,\" Rubin said.\n\nThe US Congress is expected to ratify the nomination of the first US ambassador to Hanoi, Douglas Peterson later this week.\n\nRubin added that he had raised impediments faced by American businesses in Vietnam. \"He said has discussed those with the prime minister and he is trying to work on those, but this country has done a lot in a short time and things take time.\n\n\"I told him things take a lot of time in our country too,\" Rubin said.\n\nRubin said his talk with Muoi touched briefly on politics, while Muoi had stressed his focus on education.\n\n\"We had a brief conversation about democracy. He greatly valued our values and our democratic position,\" Rubin said.\n\nRubin said he told Muoi he had been enormously impressed with the Vietnamese people, as hardworking and energetic.\n\nDuring his two and a half day visit in Vietnam Rubin has stressed the importance of Vietnam improving its climate for foreign businesses.\n\n\"Many companies have found lots of difficulties, and that has slowed foreign investment flows,\" Rubin told a group of Vietnamese students at the Harvard-funded Fullbright Centre.\n\n\"It seems like there are excessive licencing requirements, bureaucratic difficulties, the absence of a clear legal framework and the difficulty of enforcing contracts,\" hesaid.\n\nNegotiators from the two countries will sit down next week to work on a draft trade agreement that will eventually pave the way for Vietnam to receive most favoured nation status with the US.\n\nBoth sides recognise however that there is still a long way to go.\n\nAccording to one official familiar with talks, the trickiest issue will be the US insistence of national treatment for its companies.\n\n\"Maybe the sound of it bothers them. The idea of treating US companies like Vietnamese companies is really tough for them,\" the official said in Hanoi on Monday.\n\nRubin met with Muoi in the Independence Palace, the former presidential palace of the Saigon regime, a sprawling building in central Ho Chi Minh City.\n\nIn the grounds sits a north Vietnamese tank which crashed through its gates on April 30, 1975, symbolizing the end of the Vietnam war.\n\nEarlier in the day Rubin visited a primary school where the World Bank is funding new classrooms and materials.\n\nRubin was to meet with the chief of the Ho Chi Minh City Communist Party and acting mayor Truong Tan Sang for a courtesy call before flying back to Washington on a US Airforce jet.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "meeting",

executive manager of the Harbin Water Supply and Drainage Group. Co. Ltd., saying that a sizeable proportion of the water supply was consumed by such commercial service sectors, such as car washing and bathing, which have been temporarily closed on the order of the government. Water for domestic use use has been placed as priority by the government.\n\nBefore the execution of water stoppage at wee hours Wednesday, said Liu, 90 percent of local residents stored up water enough for three-day use. The total amount of water stored by local residents is estimated at 300,000 tons, according to the company's research.\n\nLuan Xizhong, manager of Walmart Northeast China Region, said that frenzy shoppers nearly emptied Walmart's chainstore located in Zhongshan Avenue in downtown Harbin two days ago. But now it has been refilled with sufficient food and beverage stuff.\n\n\"Our order of 30,000 boxes of bottled mineral water arrived today , and there is no need for buying spree,\" Luan told Xinhua.\n\nBut there are some stores speculating on the public fears of water shortage.\n\nA student with the Harbin Industrial University told Xinhua that some stores are raising prices of mineral water. \"The price of a dozen bottles of a brand mineral water rose from 12 yuan (1.5 US dollars) to over 20 yuan (2.5 US dollars) in two days,\" said Zhao Yingqiang, a Harbin resident.\n\nIn response to the public complaint, Wang Lianjia, an official of provincial pricing authorities, said that price rises were separated cases. As long as the government ensures sufficient market supply of drinking water, the price would ebb and return to the normal level in a couple of days.\n\nAs part of its bid to stabilize the market price of drinking water, the municipal government has allocated 5 million yuan (625,000 US dollars) to set up five water stations in the city to provide barreled water at standard market price.\n\nLi Gang, a Harbin resident, seen standing in a line outside a public toilet, told Xinhua his family members would use the public toilet in the next few days so as to save water for toilet flushing.\n\n\"It is not a big problem for just a few days and it is of little troubles in daily life,\" he said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "estimated", "start_char":

been going for weeks without water supplies with satellite towns such as Chitungwiza going for more than two months without supplies.\n\nWhile aging water infrastructure has been singled out as a major contributor to the woes, declining water levels in major supply dams have been cited as contributory to the problem.\n\nAccording to Mutezo, the contractors had completed projects such as the

the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize and called for a world free of atomic weapons, saying existing nuclear states should lead by example.\n\n\"If we hope to escape self-destruction, then nuclear weapons should have no place in our collective conscience, and no role in our security,\" ElBaradei said in his acceptance speech at a ceremony in Oslo's City Hall.\n\n\"We must ensure, absolutely, that no more countries acquire nuclear weapons: that nuclear weapon states take concrete steps towards nuclear disarmament; and we must put in place a security system that does not rely on nuclear deterrence,\" he added.\n\nElBaradei and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), represented by the chairman of its board of governors, Yukiya Amano, were jointly honored on Saturday for \"their efforts to prevent nuclear energy from being used for military purposes\".\n\nThey received their distinction from the chairman of the Nobel Committee Ole Mjoes 60 years after the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan on August 6 and 9, 1945, the world's only nuclear attacks.\n\n\"At a time when the threat of nuclear arms is again increasing, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to underline that this threat must be met through the broadest possible international cooperation,\" Mjoes said.\n\nIn his acceptance speech, ElBaradei emphasized that the threat of nuclear proliferation was closely linked to inequalities in the world.\n\n\"In regions where conflicts have been left to fester for decades, countries continue to look for ways to offset their insecurities or project their power ... They may be tempted to seek their own weapons of mass destruction, like others who have preceded them,\" he said.\n\nFifteen years after the Cold War came to an end, the IAEA chief lamented that \"we may have torn down the walls between East and West, but we have yet to build the bridges between North and South, the rich and the poor.\"\n\nTo rid the world of the threat of nuclear weapons, \"a good start would be if the nuclear weapons states reduced the strategic role given to these weapons,\" he said.\n\n\"Today, eight or nine countries possess nuclear weapons. Today we still have 27,000 warheads in existence. To me, this is 27,000 too many,\" he added.\n\nThe IAEA and its chief have most recently been instrumental in thorny nuclear negotiations with Iran, threatening to take the country before the UN Security Council for violating nuclear non-proliferation rules.\n\nIran has insisted that its nuclear program is merely designed to meet domestic energy needs, while the United States, Israel and others have charged it is a cover for a programme to develop an atom bomb.\n\nOn Saturday, ElBaradei said that to avoid such ambiguity, he planned to set up a \"reserve fuel bank\" under IAEA control.\n\n\"This assurance of supply will remove the incentive, and the justification, for each country to develop its own fuel cycle,\" he said.\n\nEnding his speech on an upbeat note, ElBaradei asked the audience to \"imagine what would happen if the nations of the world spent as much on development as on the machines of war.\"\n\n\"Imagine that the only nuclear weapons remaining are the relics in our museums. Imagine the legacy we could leave to our children. Imagine that such a world is actually within our grasp,\" he concluded.\n\nThe agency and its director received their award, consisting of a Nobel diploma, a gold medal and 10 million Swedish kronor (1.3 million dollars, 1.1 million euros) to be split between them, in a brightly decorated City Hall, decked with yellow orchids and carnations, and in the presence of Norway's King Harald.\n\nAt a separate ceremony on Saturday, the anniversary of the death of prize founder Alfred Nobel, the winners of this year's literature, medicine, physics, chemistry and economics prizes received their awards from King Carl XVI Gustaf in Stockholm's Concert Hall.\n\nThat ceremony was to be followed by a gala banquet at Stockholm's City Hall for 1,300 guests.", "time_expressions": null,

Palestinians trying to sustain ceasefire\n\n\n\n\nby Zhu Jianhui\n\nJERUSALEM, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- A ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militant factions went into effect in the Gaza Strip on Sunday. Israel promised restraint, while the Palestinians showed resolution.\n\nThe Israel Defense Forces pulled out troops from the Gaza Strip overnight, whereas several rocket barrages hit southern Israel hours after the ceasefire went into effect, causing no damage or injury. Hamas and the Islamic Jihad (Holy War) claimed responsibility.\n\nDespite the Palestinian violation of the truce, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that Israel would display \"patience and restraint.\"\n\nHe said he hoped the ceasefire will take effect in the West Bank as well and consequently may facilitate the revival of peacemaking that collapsed six years ago before a Palestinian uprising began.\n\n\"All of these things ultimately could lead to one thing -- the opening of serious, real, open and direct negotiations between us, \" Olmert said. \"So that we can move forward toward a comprehensive agreement between us and the Palestinians,\" he added.\n\nFor his part, Palestinian National Authority (PNA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas ordered security forces to ensure that Gaza militants respect the truce.\n\nPNA security forces began deploying along the strip's border with Israel on Sunday to prevent militants from firing Qassam rockets at Israel.\n\nIsraeli security officials believed that increased military pressure applied on armed groups and deaths of more than 400 Palestinians, about half of them militants, in Israeli offensives forced militant groups to agree on a ceasefire.\n\nA senior military source said that in the past 96 hours, 25 Palestinian militants had been killed, and military pressure had shown them they were losing people and assets and making only small gains, even though they were hitting Israelis.\n\nThe truce was made at a time of growing U.S. pressure on Olmert and the Palestinians to curtail spiraling violence and make progress toward ending decades of conflict.\n\nU.S. President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice are scheduled to visit Jordan on Wednesday for talks on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Iraq.\n\nProgress in ending bloodshed between Israelis and the Palestinians could provide relief for Washington from troubles in Iraq. Also, U.S. envoy Elliot Abrams will be in Jerusalem on Tuesday.\n\nMeanwhile, a ceasefire could ease domestic pressure on Olmert, whose popularity ratings are already low following Israel's inconclusive 34-day war on Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon in summer.\n\nIsraeli government sources said that if the ceasefire sustains, it would bring forward a meeting between Olmert and Abbas. Olmert and an aide to Abbas said that they hoped the truce could also include the occupied West Bank.\n\nAdherence to the agreement could help end months of Palestinian political deadlock and make Abbas and Prime Minister Ismail Haneya of Hamas finalize talks on forming a unity government, which the Palestinians hope might ease the West's sanctions imposed since the Islamist group took office in March.\n\nHowever, prospect of the truce remains uncertain. Israel has had some bad experiences with ceasefires with the Palestinians in the past, particularly those announced unilaterally.\n\nSome of the ceasefires only held up for a few hours and others for a few days, some Israeli analysts said. Hamas was instrumental in bringing about the latest truce, but the Islamic group is formally dedicated to destroying Israel.\n\nA cessation of Israeli attacks on Gaza militants could backfire. Some military officials fear that Palestinian militant groups will take the opportunity to rearm, warning of an increase in the quantity of arms being smuggled into the Gaza Strip from Egypt.\n\nThey fear that militants will be stocking up for a major confrontation, emboldened by Hezbollah's ability to fight Israel.\n\nIn Sderot, southern Israeli town which is frequently targeted by Palestinian rockets, there is skepticism. \"There is no ceasefire,\" Mayor Eli Moyal said, when he was dashing for a shelter as a rocket attack warning came on Sunday.", "time_expressions": null,

issue long-awaited 3G licences to home telecom operators, the newspaper said.\n\nZTE declined to comment on the report when approached by AFP Monday.\n\nEven as China seeks to push its own technologies, it says it remains committed to opening its information and communication technology (ICT) industries to foreign investors.\n\nWu Bangguo, China's top lawmaker, said in Hong Kong that multinationals who want to enter the mainland market are welcome to establish research and development centers, the Hong Kong-based Standard newspaper reported.\n\n\"China will persist with its basic

report\n\n\n\n\nThe US State Department said Thursday Saudi Arabia's former ambassador here recently visited Washington, adding spice to reports he was involved in a power struggle which caused his successor to quit.\n\nPrince Bandar bin Sultan, was the kingdom's top envoy to the United States for 22 years until 2004. The Washington Post reported Thursday he was in the US capital recently to counsel top officials against heeding mounting calls for talks with Iran or Syria.\n\nState Department spokesman Sean McCormack reluctantly confirmed Prince Bandar met Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, when pressed by reporters, but refused to divulge the substance of their conversation.\n\n\"I can't tell you the last time that he and the secretary met,\" McCormack said. \"I'm sure that it's been within the past several weeks, but I can't tell you exactly when.\"\n\nThe Post quoted diplomats as saying many Saudis believed Syria had betrayed the Arab world by leaning closer to Iran in recent months.\n\nSaudi Arabia has shown increasing signs of concern over Tehran's growing influence with Iraqi Shiite leaders, and its nuclear showdown with the West.\n\nInterestingly, the mission of Prince Bandar, current Saudi national security advisor, seems to directly conflict, on Iran, at least, with recent statements on Tehran by his successor as ambassador Prince Turki al-Faisal.\n\nPrince Turki set off a diplomatic mystery on Monday by suddenly resigning and leaving the United States for what were a Saudi official said were \"personal reasons.\"\n\nAmong several theories about his departure, was a report that he was locked in a political feud with Bandar.\n\nSigns of differences over Iran may hint at some of the reasons behind any clash, as Prince Turki has publicly urged the United States to enter into dialogue with Iran.\n\n\"Saudi Arabia talks to Iran frequently and frankly,\" Prince Turki said during an an appearance at the Center for Strategic and International Studies on October 4.\n\n\"I think for the United States not to talk to Iran is a mistake. We've found in our experience that when we did not talk to Iran -- our relations were broken for a period of a few years in the '90s -- we had more troubles with each other.\n\n\"But since then, our relationship has improved dramatically and beneficially for both our countries. So we think that negotiation and talking to people is more important than shutting the doors on them.\"\n\nThe United States is at loggerheads with the Islamic Republic over a series of issues, including Tehran's nuclear program, and also claims Tehran is deliberately fanning extremism in Iraq and the wider Middle East.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "said",

"AFP_ENG_19970413.0291\n\nSARAJEVO, April 13 , 1997 (AFP)\n\nBitter-cold Sarajevo offers a glimpse at its old tolerance by Edina Neretljak\n\n\n\n\nThe mainly Moslem city of Sarajevo surprised pilgrims visiting for the mass celebrated Sunday by Pope John Paul II with its sharp climate but it also showed its beautified face and offered a glimpse at what it used to be, welcoming the guests with tolerance.\n\nThe city that spent four million German marks (2.4 million dollars) working in a frenzy for the past two weeks to welcome the most important guest it has ever hosted, greeted the pilgrims coming from all over the country and abroad with snow-flakes and wind chilling the bones.\n\nHundreds of buses carrying thousands of pilgrims began arriving in Sarajevo at dawn to specially-allocated parking lots in the city centre from which they walked to the Kosevo stadium where the mass took place.\n\nQuietly and at the temperature of only zero Centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit) in the morning the faithful walked towards the newly- refurbished stadium while the city, except for hundreds of policemen and soldiers of the NATO-led peace force at every corner, still slept.\n\nTired, yawning after spending the whole night travelling aboard buses, their faces and hands red with cold, the pilgrims trod along the closed-to-traffic streets and boulevards decorated by Bosnian state flags, huge Papal posters and recently planted seedlings.\n\nThe white-and-yellow Vatican flags the pilgrims carried in their hands, scarves in the same fashion, and the flags of Bosnian Croat statelet Herceg-Bosna and the neighbouring Republic of Croatia, provoked no reaction from passers-by in the city in which only 30,000 Catholic Croats live.\n\n\"We do not feel at all that we are in a Moslem city, we had no problems here\", Zeljka Bajan, a 27-year-old housewife from the Croatian coastal city of Sibenik, said.\n\nLike so many other pilgrims Bajan saw for the first time the war-scars that the face-lift could not remove such as the shattered Zetra sports hall just by the stadium.\n\nBut the most shocking to all was the nearby football-pitch-turned- graveyard where hundreds of people were buried and its neighbour accross the road, the Lion's cemetery.\n\n\"It is sad to see all the ruins. We were shocked with what we saw and could understand better now what the people here went through\", Bajan said.\n\nPilgrims coming from both the Moslem-Croat federation and the Republika Srpska, Bosnia's two post-war entities, said they encountered no problems travelling to Sarajevo.\n\nAlthough not all the 60,000 faithful that the Church expected did come, the 40,000 that filled the stadium showed they had no fear.\n\n\"If the pope was ready to come here then why should I not come as well\", Antija Zlatun, from the central Bosnian town of Novi Travnik, said when asked about the recent series of attacks against Catholic churches and monasteries in Sarajevo.\n\nMunib Usanovic, 50-year-old servant of the federal government and a Moslem from Sarajevo who went to the mass \"because it is an event that happens once in a lifetime,\" expressed the shame many citizens feel about the attacks and the finding on Saturday of explosives set along the papal route.\n\n\"That was probably done by somebody who wanted to tarnish the image of Sarajevo as the town opened to all people of good will\", Usanovic said.\n\n\"I cannot imagine anybody who would want to miss this mass, I cannot imagine why anybody would be upset by this visit\", he said hoping that people unpoisoned by intolerance still prevail in the city.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "surprised",

"AFP_ENG_20061227.0184\n\nTEHRAN, Dec 27 , 2006, 2006\n\nATTENTION - ADDS failed amendment to bill ///\n\n\n\n\nIran's parliament on Wednesday approved a bill obliging the government to \"revise its cooperation\" with the UN nuclear watchdog in retaliation for Security Council sanctions imposed on Tehran.\n\nThe text of the bill, which also tells the government to \"accelerate\" Iran's controversial nuclear programme, was approved by an overwhelming majority in the conservative-controlled parliament, with 161 in favour and 15 against.\n\nThe move is set to further inflame tensions over the Iranian nuclear programme, which the Islamic republic has vowed to expand in defiance of the sanctions agreed by the UN Security Council last week.\n\nIran has refused to heed the council's demand to suspend uranium enrichment, a process that Western countries fear could be used to develop a nuclear weapon. Iran insists its atomic drive is entirely peaceful.\n\nThe formulation of the bill gives the government a free hand to limit cooperation with the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as it sees fit. This could involve limiting UN inspections of its atomic sites, a move urged by several lawmakers.\n\n\"Officials from the foreign ministry and the supreme national security council should be left to interpret the text,\" said Deputy Foreign Minister Hamid Reza Asefi, who promoted the bill on behalf of the government.\n\nParliament speaker Gholam Ali Hadad Adel echoed comments from other top officials that Iran did not intend to quit the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty but emphasized the government could interpret the bill as it wanted.\n\n\"The government should react (to the bill) in a way appropriate to the international pressure,\" he added.\n\n\"This could mean quitting the NPT or staying there. We will give a free hand to the government to take its decisions.\"\n\nLawmakers first voted on the title of the bill and then on the fuller text which reads that \"the government is obliged, following resolution 1737, to accelerate the nuclear programme and revise its cooperation with the IAEA\".\n\nAlmost immediately after it was passed, the bill was approved as law by the hardline Guardians Council which vets all parliamentary legislation.\n\nIran in February stopped allowing extensive UN access to its atomic sites. But up until now it has still been allowing regular UN inspections of nuclear installations.\n\nAfter weeks of diplomatic wrangling, the UN Security Council on Saturday adopted a resolution which imposes restrictions on Iran's nuclear industry and ballistic missile programme.\n\nThe debate in parliament was marked by a few dissenting voices from the minority reformists but the overwhelming majority spoke out in favour of retaliation.\n\n\"Rejecting this resolution means that a resolution that is even stricter will be passed in two months. The best solution is to establish a bridge with the other countries to reduce the tension,\" said reformist MP Nourredine Pirmoazen.\n\nOthers also attempted, without success, to propose a vote on an amendment that would have placed handling of the nuclear issue in the hands of the Supreme National Security Council led by Ali Larijani, seen as more moderate than President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.\n\n\"The aim of this amendment is that when there is a decision it is not disturbed by a speech,\" said reformist MP Iraj Nadimi.\n\nHowever, a conservative deputy, Ebrahim Karkhaneie, said that \"no country has the right to renounce its legitimate rights under threats.\"\n\nIran's immediate reaction to the UN sanctions resolution was to announce it would press ahead with plans to install 3,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium at its key nuclear plant in Natanz, central Iran.\n\nOfficials have said they want Iran to celebrate a major step towards enriching uranium on an industrial scale when the country marks the 28th anniversary of the Islamic revolution in February.\n\nOil markets dived during the past day on fears over the consequences of the continued defiance of Iran, the world's number four crude producer.\n\nMeanwhile, Iranian oil and gas officials have complained that US pressure on foreign banks not to lend to Iran have resulted in financing problems for key energy projects.\n\n\"Unfortunately, most of the foreign banks think politically instead of commercially and thus they impose some restrictions (on us),\" the managing director of the Pars Oil and Gas Company, Akbar Torkan, was quoted as saying by the Sarmayeh newspaper.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "approved", "start_char": 133, "end_char": 141, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

Several masses and prayers were scheduled in a chapel at the Military School's hall.\n\nBachelet, who along with her parents was detained and tortured by Pinochet's regime, refused to give Pinochet full state honors with a national mourning period.\n\n\"In any society, in any country, when there are not norms, or predetermined laws for a particular situation, it is up to the leaders, the government, to make decisions in the best interests of the people,\" Bachelet said.\n\n\"Over the past several hours we have seen divisive acts that we don't like, but as a society and as a country we have to have the ethical strength to overcome this challenge,\" the Socialist said.\n\nPinochet's youngest son, Marco Antonio, decried the absence of a national funeral for his father, who, he said, \"was totally committed to his country and took it out of indescribable chaos.\"\n\nThe contrast between the sorrow of Pinochet's supporters and jubilation of his detractors showed the deep divisions still felt in Chile 16 years after the return to democracy.\n\nThousands of people celebrated in the streets of Santiago Sunday after Pinochet's death, while about 2,000 of his supporters gathered at the Military Hospital Sunday to mourn his passing.\n\nThe celebrations were marred, however, by clashes between hooded radicals and police officers. Authorities said 99 people were arrested and 43 police injured in the violence.\n\nWhile leftist politicians condemned his 17-year rule that left 3,000 people dead or missing, by official count, the right recalled his economic policies that it said led to the \"Chilean miracle.\"\n\nHuman rights groups and newspapers across the world expressed disappointment that Pinochet died without ever facing trial for the killings and torture committed under his rule.\n\nAmnesty International said Pinochet's death underscored the importance of swiftly prosecuting human rights abusers.\n\n\"General Pinochet's death should be a wake-up call for the authorities in Chile and governments everywhere, reminding them of the importance of speedy justice for human rights crimes, something Pinochet himself has now escaped,\" the human rights group said.\n\nThe American newspaper USA Today said \"Bringing a dictator to justice is about more than revenge.\"\n\n\"It is needed for a society to face up to past crimes and to deter brutal dictators elsewhere,\" the national daily said.\n\nAfter the funeral, Pinochet's body will be taken by helicopter to a crematorium and his ashes will be handed to his family.\n\nPinochet came to power in a 1973 military coup that ousted Socialist president Salvador Allende, who committed suicide at the time. After Pinochet lost a 1988 referendum on his continued rule, he handed over power in 1990 to a transitional government.\n\nIn the succeeding years numerous prosecutors and judges sought to have him tried on charges of murder, human rights abuses and corruption, but he fended off trial by claiming immunity and then ill health.\n\nDuring Pinochet's 91st birthday celebrations on November 25, his wife read a message saying that the former dictator held \"no grudge against anyone,\" despite all the \"persecutions and injustices\" against him.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions":

clashed with residents of the capital's largest slum over a banned political rally, police and witnesses said.\n\nViolence started when police moved in to block a former leader of Mungiki, a banned cult with criminal ties, from a holding the rally in Kibera slums, south of Nairobi.\n\nWitnesses said the General Service Unit, a paramilitary wing of Kenyan police, opened fire on rioters, killing two, while a third was allegedly slashed to death.\n\n\"As far as I am concerned, my officers had no instructions to use live bullets. We are investigating the alleged shooting,\" said Nairobi police commander Njue Njagi.\n\nDoctors in the capital's Masaba hospital said six people were treated for gunshot wounds after the clash in Kibera, one of Africa's largest slums and home to an estimated 800,000 people.\n\nA passing cargo train was derailed, administration police booths razed and several shops looted in several hours of violence, witnesses said.\n\nPolice had banned the rally by ex-Mungiki leader Ndura Wairunge, who plans to run against the influential Raila Odinga in next year's parliamentary elections.\n\nThe Mungiki are a shadowy politico-religious group with alleged ties to Kenya's 1950s pre-indedependence Mau Mau uprising and blamed for a string of recent murders and violent robberies around the east African nation.\n\nLast month, at least eight people were killed and thousands displaced from their homes when gang warfare rocked the capital's Mathare slums, home to about 400,000 people.\n\nPolice have warned of an upsurge in political violence in Kenya ahead of December 2007 general elections when President Mwai Kibaki is expected to face strong opposition from cabinet ministers he fired last

representative for the Iraqi electoral commission there.\n\nTurkey is one of 15 countries where Iraqi expatriates can vote in Iraq's parliamentary elections. Three polling stations have been set up in Istanbul and one in Ankara.\n\nExpatriates have until Thursday to cast their ballot when their homeland will grind to a halt under security measures intended to minimise bloodshed as the electorate chooses a 275-member parliament.\n\nMufit Neftci, a representative of the electoral commission in charge of Iraqi exiles in Turkey, said by late afternoon Tuesday between 700 and 800 Iraqis had cast ballots.\n\n\"We think that the number of voters will be more than in the last elections,\" Neftci said, referring to the January 28 poll for an interim parliament in Iraq.\n\n\"Any Iraqi who comes to the polling station with a valid identity card including a photograph is allowed to vote,\" he said.\n\nNeftci could not give an estimate of the number of Iraqis in Turkey who are eligible to vote.\n\nThe International Migrants Organization, which organized the January poll, had estimated the number at around 30,000, most of them belonging to the Turkish minority that settled mainly in northern Iraq.\n\nThe ethnic Turks in Iraq make up the country's third largest ethnic group after the Arabs and the Kurds.\n\nBesides Turkey, the other countries where Iraqi expatriates may vote include Australia, Austria, Britain, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, the Netherlands, Sweden, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and the United

codefendants on genocide charges was adjourned till Tuesday after the court heard two Kurdish witnesses on Monday.\n\nMonday's session came 19 days after the last session on Nov. 8 when Chief Judge Muhammad Ureiybi adjourned the trial to give the defendants enough time to assemble a list of witnesses.\n\nOn the 23rd session, a subdued Saddam and six codefendants were present at the court along with some lawyers in the defense team, including Badie Aref, who is defending former military intelligence chief Farhan al-Jubouri.\n\nAref said that during the recess, a U.S. official came to his office and told him that he had the power to convict or acquit his defendant, and specified which defense witnesses he should use in the trial.\n\n\"He forced me to present his list of more than 30 names of witnesses, whom I don't know, while I only have ten witnesses... This is a conspiracy and can't be done,\" Aref said.\n\nOn Monday's session, Taimor Abdallah Rokhzai, a Kurdish witness, who now lives in Washington, DC, recounted how Kurdish villagers were taken out into the desert and murdered by soldiers.\n\n\"There were ditches and we were forced to line up inside to be shot by the soldiers,\" Rokhzai, 30, told the court.\n\nHe said that he saw his mother and sister along with the other detainees killed, but he was only shot in his shoulder.\n\nAfter hearing a second witness, the judge concluded the hearing with a stern admonishment to the defendants to prepare a list of witnesses which should have been submitted Monday. The court then adjourned the session until Tuesday.\n\nSaddam and six of his aides are facing charges of genocide against Kurds in the trial of operation Anfal (Spoils of War) military campaign in which prosecutors said that up to 180,000 Kurds were killed, many of them by poison gas and mass killings.\n\nIf convicted, Saddam could get his second death penalty following the first one he got from the trial of Dujail.\n\nOn Nov. 5, Saddam and two of his senior aides were sentenced to death on crimes against humanity for Dujail case, in which 148 people were executed in the aftermath of a crackdown on the small Shiite village following a failed assassination attempt against Saddam in 1982.\n\nThe Dujail verdicts are now with an appellate court, whose final decision will come within an unspecified time. If it approves the death ruling, Saddam would be executed lawfully within 30 days of that decision.\n\nIraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has already said that Saddam may be hanged before the end of this year.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "trial", "start_char": 128, "end_char": 133, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "NOUN", "tense": "PAST",

civilised political debate.\n\n\"The comments are wholly unacceptable and we condemn them unreservedly. They have no place in civilised political debate,\" said Britain's Minister for Europe, Douglas Alexander, whose country currently holds the EU presidency.\n\nSpeaking in Strasbourg to the applause of European parliamentarians, he said that \"the presidency has been unequivocal in its condemnation of the comments attributed to President Ahmadinejad of Iran.\"\n\nThe Islamic republic's hardline leader, who has called for Israel to be wiped off the map, launched a fresh attack on Wednesday, dismissing the Holocaust as a \"myth\" and saying the Jewish state should be moved as far away as Alaska.\n\n\"They have invented a myth that Jews were massacred and place this above God, religions and the prophets,\" the outspoken president said in a speech live on state television.\n\n\"If somebody in their country questions God, nobody says anything, but if somebody denies the myth of the massacre of Jew, the Zionist loudspeakers and the governments in the pay of Zionism will start to scream,\" he said.\n\n\"Our proposal is this: give a piece of your land in Europe, the United States, Canada or Alaska so they (the Jews) can create their own state.\"\n\nSpeaking in Brussels later, the European Commission's spokeswoman on external affairs also condemned Ahmadinejad's remarks.\n\n\"These remarks are just quite simply completely unacceptable,\" said the spokeswoman Emma Udwin.\n\n\"We feel very strongly that Iran is damaging its own interests with these kind of remarks and that such interventions do nothing to rebuild confidence in Iran's intentions,\" she said.",

the Senate elections are at an advanced stage with the National Logistical Committee mobilizing resources to ensure everything is in place to conduct the poll on November 26.\n\nZEC spokesperson Ethloile Silaigwana said logistical committees had been established in all the provinces to mobilize resources for the successful holding of the elections.\n\n\"Preparations are at an advanced stage with multiparty liaison committees now functional in the constituencies to attend to issues about the elections,\" he said.\n\nZEC established the National Logistic Committee on October 14 this year to mobilize resources for the Senate elections.\n\nSilaigwana said multiparty liaison committees were encouraging political tolerance, peace and good conduct during campaigning and on the date of the elections.\n\nAn intensive voter education exercise was also going on in the constituencies, reminding people on their constitutional right to participate in the elections as well as educating voters on the correct documents to take to the polling stations so that they would not be turned away.\n\nVoters were also being educated on the constitutional boundaries so that they went to the constituencies where they were registered, he said.\n\nThe exercise started on November 7 and ends on November 20 this year.\n\nSilaigwana said the National Multiparty Liaison Committee that comprised all the candidates participating in the election had set out the ground rules to be observed as well as agreed on a code of conduct that supporters of each party would observe during campaigning.\n\nHe said the Committee was a mechanism to ensure that all parties conducted their business in a peaceful manner.\n\nSo far the situation on the ground was calm and peaceful and none of the candidates had reported incidences of violence, he said.\n\n\"We are predicting a peaceful election,\" said Silaigwana.\n\nIn the past, violence has characterized elections in Zimbabwe, resulting in the death of people and destruction of property.\n\nThe Senate elections have caused divisions in the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, one faction opposed to participation while the other is supporting.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "said", "start_char": 157, "end_char": 161, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "REPORTING", "pos": "VERB", "tense": "PAST",

independently.\n\nThe prosecutor general's office also said it gave British detectives all materials from investigators' joint questioning of six witnesses in the case, including transcripts of the interviews.\n\n\"Both sides decided not to waste time on translation from Russian to English and agreed to the prompt transfer of all the materials,\" news agency Interfax quoted an \"informed source in the Russian capital\" as saying.\n\nThe group of British detectives was in Moscow trying to unravel the mystery poisoning of Litvinenko, a former Russian federal security service agent who was granted political asylum in Britain, then British citizenship.\n\nHe died November 23 after an agonising illness caused by radioactive polonium 210 that began after he met with ex-Soviet army officer Dmitry Kovtun and ex-KGB officer Andrei Lugovoi, at a hotel in London's Mayfair district on November 1.\n\nBritish and Russian investigators jointly questioned the men, both of whom deny any role in Litvinenko's killing.\n\nA deathbed letter attributed to Litvinenko accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of ordering his poisoning, a charge the Kremlin has hotly denied.

2006, 2006\n\nGeneral Assembly backs Kimberley to curb 'blood diamonds'\n\n\n\n\nThe UN General Assembly on Monday expressed \"strong support\" for the Kimberley process, which aims to prevent illegally exported \"conflict diamonds\" being used to buy arms.\n\nThe resolution was adopted by consensus after the 192-member assembly was briefed by Botswana's President Festus Gontebanye Mogae, the current chairman of the UN-mandated Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, which requires participants to certify that shipments of rough diamonds are free from conflict diamonds, also known as \"blood diamonds\".\n\nUnder Kimberly, rough diamonds are sealed in tamper-resistant containers and required to have forgery-resistant, conflict-free certificates with unique serial numbers each time they cross an international border.\n\nSeventy-one countries have now signed on to Kimberley and agree to buy and sell only among fellow members. The certificate takes for granted that the stone in question is a real diamond.\n\nThe agreement is named after the diamond-mining city in South Africa and went into effect January 1 2003.\n\nThe assembly, noting that the trade in conflict diamonds remains \"a matter of serious international concern, which can be directly linked to the fueling of armed conflict ... reaffirms its strong and continuing support for the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme and the Kimberley Process as a whole.\"\n\nThe resolution also recognized that the certification can help ensure that UN Security Council resolutions containing sanctions on the trade in conflict diamonds are carried out, while helping to prevent future conflicts.\n\nIn his briefing to the assembly, Mogae highlighted a 2006 progress report on the Kimberley Process, which concluded that it was working well although there were still some problems, particularly in Ivory Coast and South America.\n\nSome of Ivory Coast's neighbors are not parties to the Kimberley Process, which has therefore limited influence over them.\n\n\"The Kimberley Process views the problem of leakage diamonds from (Ivory Coast) into the legitimate trade as one that may require a regional approach to resolve,\" the report said.\n\nTrafficking in illegal diamonds is considered one of the root causes of the back-to-back civil wars in Liberia since 1989 as well as of the 10-year brutal conflict in neighboring Sierra Leone that ended in 2001.\n\nA regional approach was also needed in South America, specifically Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela, the report said.\n\nMogae later told reporters that the Kimberley Process was beginning to have an impact.\n\n\"Before the Certification Scheme it was reported that conflict diamonds were possibly about four percent of global production. Now with certification we have admitted in my report that we are glad to say that they are now less than one percent,\" he said.\n\nBegun in 2000 by southern African diamond-producing countries, the Kimberley Process led to the adoption in November 2002 in Interlaken, Switzerland, of the international Certification Scheme for rough diamonds, based primarily on national certification schemes and on internationally agreed minimum standards.\n\nThe Asembly, noting that the trade in conflict diamonds remains \"a matter of serious international concern, which can be directly linked to the fueling of armed conflict ... reaffirms its strong and continuing support for the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme and the Kimberley Process as a whole.\"\n\nThe UN General Assembly on Monday expressed \"strong support\" for the Kimberley process, which aims to prevent illegally exported \"conflict diamonds\" being used to buy arms.\n\nThe resolution was adopted by consensus after the 192-member assembly was briefed by Botswana's President Festus Gontebanye Mogae, the current chairman of the UN-mandated Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, which requires participants to certify that shipments of rough diamonds are free from conflict diamonds, also known as \"blood diamonds\".\n\nUnder Kimberly, rough diamonds are sealed in tamper-resistant containers and required to have forgery-resistant, conflict-free certificates with unique serial numbers each time they cross an international border.\n\nSeventy-one countries have now signed on to Kimberley and agree to buy and sell only among fellow members.

16 , 2006 (Xinhua)\n\non education\n\n\n\n\nThe 6th High Level Group Meeting on Education for All (EFA) finished here Thursday with participants urging for \"higher spending and more targeted efforts\" to meet the \"large and urgent\" EFA challenges by 2015.\n\nThe meeting, co-hosted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Egyptian education ministry, opened Tuesday night, \"takes place towards the end of another significant year for development and for education, \" said a final communique.\n\n\"Education is higher on the political agenda, and many countries have made efforts to raise educational budgets,\" it said.\n\nThe newly-published 2007 EFA Global Monitoring Report indicated that further progress has been made in the EFA, with over 37 million more children in primary school from 1999 to 2004, said the communique.\n\nBesides, more countries have abolished school fees, and aid to education is on the rise. Two-thirds of the 181 countries with data have now achieved gender parity at primary level.\n\nBut, the remaining EFA challenge is large and urgent. For instance, of 781 million adult illiterates, only 100 million will achieve literacy by 2015 at current rates of progress, said the communique.\n\nThe communique recommends that countries spend 4-6 percent of national income on education, and that donors raise levels of predictable and long-term financing to reach the 11 billion U.S. dollars required annually for universal primary education, adult literacy and early childhood care and education (ECCE).\n\nParticipants worldwide committed themselves to a stronger focus on ECCE and advised that governments and aid agencies increase funding to ECCE substantially above current levels.\n\nAs education is key to achieving the Millennium Development Goals, participants called for stronger integration of education sector planning with broader development objectives at both national and international level, said the communique.\n\nThe communique said attendees to the meeting stressed the central role of education in responding to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and urged stronger links be developed between education sector planning and the commitment to universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment and support by 2010.\n\nThe communique also called for \"innovation and new investment\" in adult literary, characterizing the current situation in which one adult in five lacks literacy skills as \"unacceptable.\"\n\nSome 35 education ministers worldwide, UNESCO Director General Koichiro Matsuura and leaders of aid agencies and civil society organizations attended the three-day meeting.\n\nSenegal will host the next High

the pipeline, he said.\n\n\"The workers are definitely frightened, but their physical conditions are OK,\" said the official. \"The pipeline is great encouragement for them.\"\n\nThe collapse happened at around 3:20 a.m. Sunday in the tunnel of the railway linking Dali and Lijiang when four workers were working inside.\n\nThe rescue headquarters predicted that a 28-meter-long tunnel section

(Xinhua)\n\nAfrican heritage sites to go digital\n\n\n\n\nScientists in South Africa are digitizing Africa's rich cultural heritage sites to provide a virtual tour to those who cannot visit in person, while benefiting preservation of the sites.\n\nUsing the latest laser-scan and computer technology, they are creating 3D models and virtual landscapes of the sites in Sub- Saharan Africa, including a coral-stone fortress in Tanzania, an ancient mosque in Timbuktu, Mali, and Great Zimbabwe, Sunday Times reported.\n\nThese digital models and historical resources will be stored in an African cultural heritage and landscapes database that African scholars, libraries and universities will be able to use free of charge, said the national newspaper.\n\nProf. Heinz Ruther, a project leader based at the University of Cape Town's (UCT's) Geomatics department, said they hoped to eventually create walk-through capabilities, like a computer game, to familiarize African school children with these sites.\n\nThe newspaper said the project has been approved by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which oversees the naming and preservation work of heritage sites around the world.\n\nThe UCT also co-operates with a project known as Aluka, which is tasked with building an \"online, digital library of scholarly resources from and about the developing world, beginning in Africa. \"\n\nThe project aims not only at \"virtual preservation\" but also at assisting with the physical conservation of these sites, which are being eroded by the weather, time and human settlement, Ruther said.\n\nThe Kilwa fortress in Tanzania, made of coral stone, dates back to the year 1503. It is being eroded by storms and the wind.\n\nRuther explained that the accuracy of the 3D models, between one and five centimeters of the original, would assist with reconstruction should it become necessary.\n\nThe team has already finished models for four World Heritage sites, including Kilwa Great Mosque, dated about 1200 AD, and Kilwa Kisiwani Fortress (1503) in Tanzania; St Giyorgis, a rock- hewn church at Lalibela (dating back to the 11th to 13th century) in Ethiopia; and the Grand Mosques of Djenne and Djingereiber in Timbuktu in Mali (14th and 20th centuries).\n\nUNESCO convened the 29 session of the World Heritage Committee July in Durban, South Africa, finding that 16 of 33 endangered World Heritage sites are in Africa due to conflicts, lack of fund and protection.",

\"unacceptable\" boom in the often violent exploitation of child prostitutes in Kenya, the UN Childrens Fund said Tuesday.\n\nIn a joint report with the Kenyan government, UNICEF found that up to 15,000 girls aged between 12 and 18 living in four main tourist destinations on the Kenyan coast were engaged in casual sex for goods and cash.\n\nA further 2,000-3,000 girls and boys were involved in full-time prostitution, the study showed.\n\n\"Clearly, what is going on here is unacceptable. UNICEF feels that it's time for zero tolerance ... especially of sexual violence against children,\" agency spokesman Michael Bociurkiw told journalists.\n\n\"Kenya should be seen as a no-go zone for sexual exploitation of children,\" he said.\n\nItalian, German and Swiss nationals are the most common clients of child sex workers among tourists, at 18 percent, 14 percent and 12 percent respectively.\n\nKenyan men are the largest single group of clients, comprising 38 percent of the total.\n\nUNICEF said much more needed to be done to end the cultural acceptance of child prostitution in tourist areas.\n\nThe study showed that a \"staggering\" 75 percent of people involved in tourism thought it was acceptable for girls to exchange sex for cash, and 60 percent said the same for boys.\n\nMany were also implicated directly in the exploitation of children, it added.\n\n\"Child sex workers are often compelled to deliver sexual services to Kenyans - beach boys, bar staff, waiters, and others - in order to access tourists. During the low tourist season, the local market for child sex workers keeps the system going,\" the report said.\n\nIt called on the Kenyan government, civil society, the tourist industry and the broader private sector to join forces to fight the problem.\n\n\"We must act to save our children from these horrific abuses before they do even greater damage,\" said UNICEF's Kenya representative,

Dec 14 , 2005\n\nCrackdown on Nepal media is illegal: report\n\n\n\n\nA crackdown on the media in Nepal through a government ordinance is illegal, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) said in a report Wednesday.\n\nThe ordinance issued in October violates Nepal's international human rights obligations and the constitution, the Geneva-based group said, calling on the government to repeal it immediately.\n\nICJ secretary-general Nicholas Howen said it \"seeks to provide a legal cover for unlawful practices and restrictions used by the government to suppress freedom of the media and the right of Nepalis to receive information.\"\n\nThe ordinance followed the seizure of power by King Gyanendra in February.\n\nHe sacked the former government, ostensibly for failing to quell a bloody Maoist revolt, but earned international censure and sparked popular demands for a restoration of democracy.\n\nUnder the ordinance, security forces have raided radio stations, seized radio transmission equipment, enforced restrictions on broadcasting news and detained and harassed journalists.\n\n\"Enforcement of the ordinance will have a chilling effect on the media and lead to greater self-censorship as journalists try to predict when the authorities will try to silence a newspaper or broadcast or close down whole media operations,\" said Howen.\n\nThe report, Power to Silence\", describes how the government is suppressing criticism seen as politically sensitive and barring journalists from working professionally.\n\n\"Many of the vague and ill-defined provisions open the door to arbitrary and abusive application of the law,\" the report said.\n\n\"The purpose of the ordinance seems to be to close down critical media, rather than legitimately regulating the media,\" added Howen.\n\nThe report welcomed two Supreme Court interim orders instructing the government not to enforce aspects of the ordinance.\n\nThe ICJ also called on Maoist rebels to respect human rights and press freedom.\n\nIt said it was \"disturbed\" by media reports that the Maoists had violated a deal for democracy with mainstream parties by harassing a group of journalists and seizing their equipment.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "crackdown", "start_char": 99, "end_char": 108, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "NOUN", "tense": "PAST",

control of Lithuania's Mazeikiu Nafta after completing two transactions worth 2.344 billion dollars that give it a stake of nearly 84 percent in the Baltic oil complex, officials said.\n\nOrlen on Thursday acquired a 53.7-percent stake in Mazeikiu -- which operates the only oil refinery in the Baltic states, an offshore terminal and pipeline -- from bankrupt Russian oil group Yukos for 1.492 billion dollars (1.133 billion euros), in the biggest block trade in the history of the Vilnius bourse.\n\nOn Friday afternoon, Lithuanian officials confirmed that the Polish oil concern had finalised another deal, this time with the Lithuanian government, giving it a further 30.66 percent in Mazeikiu for 852 million dollars.\n\nLithuanian Prime Minister Gediminas Kirkilas called the transaction \"the deal of the century\".\n\n\"There were sceptics and those who put forward conspiracy theories, but we succeeded in proving that it is possible to take important decisions for Lithuania when there is political agreement, even if there is a minority government,\" Kirkilas said after the sale of the government's stake was closed.\n\nOn Thursday, Yukos described the sale process as \"a most extraordinary 18-month marathon\" which the Kremlin repeatedly tried to derail.\n\nYukos had announced a tender to sell its stake in Mazeikiu last year, as a politically charged row with the Kremlin over unpaid taxes heated up.\n\nYukos founder Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once Russia's richest man, is serving an eight-year prison sentence in a Siberian camp after being convicted in May 2005 for embezzlement and other financial crimes.\n\nThe company he used to run, which was once Russia's biggest oil group, is being dismembered by the Russian courts and was declared bankrupt in March by a Moscow court.\n\nThe temporary administrator appointed by Moscow to oversee the beleaguered oil company's business asked that Yukos' attempts to sell its stake in Mazeikiu be blocked until the dispute with the Kremlin had been resolved.\n\nBut a US court lifted a restraining order barring Yukos from selling its stake in Mazeikiu Nafta, leaving the road clear for PKN Orlen to sign an agreement in May to buy Yukos' majority stake.\n\nSince the deal between Yukos and Orlen was signed, the Lithuanian oil complex has been dogged by problems, ranging from a halt in supplies of crude by pipeline from Russia, a shutdown of its offshore oil terminal for repairs, and a fire that ripped through its key asset, the refinery, in October.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

eight others injured, seven seriously, when a 360-tonne part of a pillar fell off the Vasco da Gama bridge, Europe's largest bridge project, officials said.\n\nUp to five people were feared lost in the waters of the Tagus river, a navy spokesman said. Rescue operations were halted Thursday afternoon but will resume at high tide.\n\nA spokesman for the builders, Lusoponte, said a British engineer was among the injured but declined to name him. All other injured were Portuguese.\n\nThe spokesman would not confirm or deny the number of missing.\n\nThe first state television channel said two people died, three went missing and nine were hurt in the accident, the first fatal one on the construction site.\n\nConstruction on the 12-kilometer (seven-mile) bridge, Europe's longest, began three years ago. It is due to be opened in May 1998, in time for the World's Fair in Lisbon.\n\nFirst television reports said a shuttle travelling on the bridge derailed after the rupture or collapse of a metal structure and plunged into the river, 30 meters (100 feet) below.\n\nThe LUSA news agency said between 14 and 16 people were at the site when the accident happened at lunch hour. Normally up to 24 people work there, the agency said.\n\nLusoponte suspended work on the bridge, named after the 15th-century Portuguese navigator, and sent all workers home.", "time_expressions":

(Xinhua)\n\nelections\n\n\n\n\nThe Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's de facto largest opposition group, has achieved major gains in the first phase of the three-stage legislative elections officials said on Wednesday.\n\nOut of the 133 parliamentary seats up for grabs in Tuesday's run-offs, candidates who ran as independents but were supported by the Muslim Brotherhood won 30 seats, the officials said.\n\nInitial results showed that the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP), led by President Hosni Mubarak, reasserted its role as the largest political party in the country by winning 50 seats in Tuesday's run-offs.\n\nAnother 45 seats went to independent candidates, most of whom were NDP renegades who failed to appear on the party-sanctioned candidates list but decided to run as independents.\n\nThe remaining eight seats went to other political parties and groups.\n\nEgypt's High Elections Commission, the supreme body overseeing the legislative electoral process, is expected to announce the final results later Wednesday. Initial results are likely to be modified as counting continued.\n\nThe Muslim Brotherhood altogether won 34 seats out of 164 up for grabs in the first phase of the parliamentary elections, including four secured during the first round of voting.\n\nDuring the first round, the NDP secured 26 seats out of 31 seats decided, and an independent candidate won one.\n\nThe Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928, was outlawed as Egypt' s constitution banned political parties based on religion, but the group renounced violence decades ago and has been largely tolerated by the government.\n\nIts members, running as independents in the 2000 parliamentary elections, won 17 seats, forming the largest single opposition bloc in the parliament.\n\nThe first phase of Egypt's three-stage parliamentary election kicked off last Wednesday in 82 constituencies across eight governorates, including Cairo.\n\nThe second and third stages will be held on Nov. 20 and Dec. 1 respectively.

China has taken a series of substantial measures to protect Tibetan antelopes, an extremely rare species listed on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.\n\nThanks to years of government efforts to control illegal hunting, ban commercial activities and protect grassland, the environment of Hoh Xil is becoming more and more suitable for antelopes, Lu said.\n\nBut Tibetan antelopes are targeted by poachers for use of their cashmere, causing their population to decline from several million to less than 100,000 in the past two decades, sources say.", "time_expressions":

Ecuador's President-elect Rafael Correa\n\n\n\n\nEcuador's Rafael Correa has won Sunday's presidential run-off with 57.04 percent of the votes against his rival Alvaro Noboa with 42.96 percent, after 97.29 percent of votes were counted, Ecuador's Supreme Electoral Tribunal said on Tuesday.\n\nFollowing is the profile of the presidential-elect:\n\nCorrea was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador's second largest city, on April 6, 1963. He earned a doctorate from the University of Illinois from 1999 to 2001. His master's degree was earned in Belgium's Catholic University of Lovaina, where he also met his wife Anne Malherbe.\n\nFrom 1992 to 1993 he was director of administration and finance for educational projects at the Inter-American Development Bank. He was economy minister from April to August 2005.\n\nAn economics professor before serving as the economy minister, he was opposed to neo-liberalism, and has promised not to sign a free trade agreement with the United States, to set an upper limit on external debt payments, and to join a Latin American integrationist movement. Despite being a strong public critic of the policy, he has also pledged to maintain dollarization.\n\nIn terms of domestic politics, he promises to restructure Ecuador's political institutions using a popular assembly, drawn from the general citizen pool rather than parties.\n\nHe speaks French, English and some Quechua, a major indigenous language in Ecuador.\n\nCorrea founded the Moviento Patria Altiva \"i\" Soberana (PAiS) after being sacked from the post of economy minister after 106 days.\n\nCorrea pushed for a constituent assembly to rewrite the constitution, which he says is needed to bypass a corrupt congress and curb political party influence in independent institutions such as the courts.\n\nCorrea also vowed to help farmers, private entrepreneurs and businessmen benefit from economic development and draw out a new strategy on social development, attach great importance to the development of education and health programs, and make his efforts to reduce a high unemployment rate, to stabilize foreign debt and to establish social development funds.\n\nDiplomatically, he opposed external interference and pledged to guarantee national energy and cultural sovereignty on the basis of mutual respect, mutual benefit and cooperation.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "won", "start_char": 136, "end_char": 139, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type":

Jordan on Wednesday for talks with King Hussein on the stalemated peace process, Palestinian officials said.\n\nBefore leaving for the Red Sea resort of Aqaba where the Jordanian monarch is recovering from prostate surgery, Arafat received an \"urgent\" telephone call from US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, official Palestinian radio said.\n\nIt said the conversation concerned the peace process, but it provided no further details.\n\nNabil Abu Rudeina, a senior Arafat aide, said the Palestinian and Jordanian leaders \"are meeting to consult and coordinate their actions to confront the challenges facing the peace process, which is still in a real crisis.\"\n\nKing Hussein was expected to brief Arafat on his talks last month in Washington with President Bill Clinton which focused on trying to resolve a major crisis in the Israel-Palestinian peace process.\n\nAbu Rudeina said Arafat would in turn inform King Hussein about his talks earlier this month with US Middle East peace envoy Dennis Ross, who met with both Israeli and Palestinian leaders in an unsuccessful bid to revive negotiations between the two sides.\n\nThe peace process has been frozen since Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered construction to begin last month on a new Jewish neighborhood in disputed east Jerusalem.\n\nNetanyahu also infuriated the Palestinians by slowing the transfer of West Bank land to Arafat's Palestinian Authority.\n\nThe decisions sparked widespread violent protests in the Palestinian territories and a string of anti-Israeli bombings.\n\nKing Hussein has been highly critical of Netanyahu's policies, and has met twice with the Israeli leader, including once earlier this month in the United States, in an effort to convince him to soften his stand.\n\nNetanyahu has refused Palestinian demands to freeze construction of new Jewish settlements or to speed up the extension of self-rule, insisting that the peace process can resume only once Arafat cracks down on anti-Israeli violence.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "headed", "start_char": 138, "end_char": 144, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE",

trial of the ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and six codefendants on genocide charges against Kurd minority in the 1980s resumed Wednesday, which saw a defense lawyer ejected and ordered to be arrested soon afterwards.\n\nChief Judge Muhammad Ureibi ordered the defense lawyer Badie Aref, always a vocal presence in the trial, be ejected and arrested for a day for \"insulting the court.\"\n\nAref is defending Farhan al-Jubouri, the former head of military intelligence during Operation Anfal in 1980s.\n\nHe was trying to tell the court that one American forensic scientist, summoned by the court as an expert, should attend the court immediately and not to see any other party before his presence, but Judge Ureibi was angered by the manner and way Aref put his statement.\n\nWednesday's session is a continuation of Saddam trial over Anfal case which the prosecution says that about 180,000 people, mostly civilians, were killed in the 1987-88 crackdown.\n\nIf convicted, Saddam could get his second death penalty following the first one he got from the trial of Dujail.\n\nOn Tuesday's session, Clyde Colin Snow, 78, the American forensic expert from the University of Oklahoma took the stand in the Saddam trial to testify on his investigation in 1992 of the mass grave of Koreme village in Iraq's northern province of Dohuk.\n\nSnow said in his investigation, organized by the group of Physicians for Human Rights and Middle East Rights Watch, he had unearthed 27 people from the mass grave in Koreme village, which he described as typical of thousands of other villages targeted in Anfal.\n\nSaddam had insisted that Snow should not be allowed to testify because he was American and demanded neutral international experts, suggesting that the bodies in the grave may have been moved to the location from separate locations.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "trial", "start_char": 119, "end_char": 124, "eid": "e1",

civil rights of Athenians.\n\nThe association outlined a series of objections to the operation of surveillance cameras on the streets of Athens, ostensibly to monitor traffic flow.\n\nThe cameras had been installed as a security measure during the Athens Olympics in 2004, but their use has only be sanctioned for monitoring traffic by Greece's independent Authority for the Protection of Personal Data.\n\nIt said that the technical capacity of the cameras already installed far exceeds the needs for monitoring traffic and their use can very easily be extended to the visual and audio surveillance and recording to incidents according to the instructions of the system's user.\n\nIt added that the government has failed to comply with the conditions set by the Data Protection Authority for the operation of the system, nor its demand for the removal of cameras that don't serve the sanctioned use.\n\nIt stressed that the use of surveillance system is in direct violation of the Constitutional rights to social and political freedom, identity, public gatherings, protection from the use of one's personal data and private life.\n\nThe association also expressed its

"AFP_ENG_19970410.0290\n\nPARIS, April 10 , 1997 (AFP)\n\nPressure mounts on Mobutu to quit\n\n\n\n\nInternational pressure grew on Thursday on Zairean President Mobutu Sese Seko to leave power and avoid more bloodshed as the ailing dictator's former allies deserted him.\n\nWith rebels gaining more territory each day and political chaos deepening in Kinshasa, US officials said the Mobutu era is over while French diplomats maintained an embarrassed silence after at one time maintaining that Mobutu could not be excluded from efforts to end the civil war in Africa's third largest country.\n\nBut former French development aid minister Michel Roussin said that Mobutu was \"a dinosaur... who must go, I think he is actually on the point of departure.\"\n\nIn Washington, White House spokesman Michael McCurry said \"We have suggested that the era of Mobutuism in Zaire is over, because the status quo is no longer tenable, given the dire conditions that exist for the people of Zaire.\"\n\n\"It's clear we have to move beyond Mr. Mobutu,\" he said, calling him \"a creature of history.\"\n\nMobutu, 66, who is seriously ill with prostate cancer, has lost control of large sections of Zaire to rebels led by Laurent Kabila. The country's second largest city, Lubumbashi, fell Wednesday.\n\nState Department spokesman Nicholas Burns also said Mobutu's rule in Zaire was essentially over.\n\n\"We have not asked him to resign or asked anybody else to ask him to resign, but we think the time of Mobutuism is over\" Burns said, adding \"It is time for the dictatorship to end.\"\n\nGeorge Moose, assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, set the tone for the US administration on Tuesday when he told Congress: \"Mobutu, his regime is a thing of the past.\"\n\nIt was the first time that a US official has publicly acknowledged that Mobutu, a key US ally since the 1960s, had lost Washington's support.\n\nNonetheless, Moose did leave open the possibility that Mobutu might remain president -- or at least stay in a position of power -- by saying that he could exert a positive influence during a peaceful transition period.\n\nThe United States has been distancing itself from the Mobutu regime, once one of its closest allies in Africa, for several years. In 1994, it cut off all economic and military aid.\n\nMeanwhile South African Deputy Foreign Minister Aziz Pahad said Thursday that \"despotic rule\" in Zaire was \"no longer possible,\" suggesting that President Mobutu Sese Seko stand down.\n\n\"Everybody is committed to the fact that there must be a fundamental change in Zaire and that despotic rule is no longer possible,\" Pahad said in a radio interview.\n\nPahad co-chaired peace talks that ended in South Africa Tuesday between Zairean rebels and the government.\n\nIn Paris, foreign ministry spokesman Jacques Rummelhardt, asked if France still supported Mobutu, declared \"We do not support anyone.It is not a case of personality for us. We support Zaire and the future of its people, Zaire as an independent and sovereign state.\"\n\nAsked if he considered the Kinshasa regime legitimate, Rummelhardt said France \"does not recognise governments, but recognises states.\"\n\nRoussin, a former member of the French secret service, expressed regrets that France \"does not get on\" with rebel leader Kabila and \"has no contacts with him.\"\n\nRoussin expressed doubts on the credibility of Kabila's rebel movement, hinting that it was supported by foreign powers.\n\n\"I would very much like Mr. Kabila... if he wants to be a democrat as he said in November 1966, to sit down at a (negotiating) table as often happens in Africa.\"\n\nThe former minister said he hoped Kabila would take part in a \"national conference to prepare a transition and that the fighting be stopped and that negotiations be staged to culminate of course in elections.\"\n\nRoussin said it was obvious that Kabila's army had not sprung out of nothing. Kabila \"is being pushed and obviously he has very powerful allies,\" Roussin said.\n\nThe ex-minister also criticised the French military presence in Africa saying it dated from \"the strategic situation of another age.\" He said that France was perhaps \"losing influence\" and that the \"English- speaking world is gaining ground.\"\n\nFormer French defence minister Francois Leotard, chief of the Union for French Democracy, junior partner in the ruling conservative coalition, recently strongly condemned French African policy and regretted that Paris \"has given the impression of supporting to the end a widely discredited regime.\"\n\nLeotard denounced France's \"triple failure, tactical, moral and geopolitical\" in Zaire and said his country \"lacks a true African policy.\"",

of emergency after an H5-type bird flu was detected in its southern Crimea peninsula, as officials awaited tests to see if the strain is of the lethal H5N1 variety that has killed nearly 70 people in Asia.\n\n\"Today we received laboratory results that confirmed the existence of the H5 variety of bird flu on Ukrainian territory,\" Agriculture Minister Olexander Baranivsky told reporters in Kiev.\n\nThe virus was found among domestic chickens and geese in two northeastern parts of Crimea, a peninsula that juts into the Black Sea, after more than 1,600 domesticated birds, including chickens, geese, ducks and turkeys, had died in the region during the past three days, Baranivsky said.\n\nSamples had been forwarded to laboratories in Britain and Italy to establish if the virus is of the deadly H5N1 strain, that has killed almost 70 people around Asia over the past two years.\n\nThose who have died are thought to have mainly caught the virus from close contact with poultry, but scientists fear the virus could mutate with a human flu strain, allowing it to transfer between people and sparking a pandemic.\n\nPresident Viktor Yushchenko, who chaired an emergency government meeting on Saturday, ordered that the affected areas be placed under a state of emergency, according to a statement from his office.\n\nA special commission, headed by Emergencies Minister Viktor Baloga, would be in charge of all bird flu-related measures and would determine the exact areas affected by the state of emergency, it said.\n\nThe five Crimean villages where bird flu-affected poultry have been found and areas within three kilometers (1.9 miles) of them were placed under quarantine, and all poultry within them will be destroyed, Baranivsky said.\n\nSpecial teams would go from house to house, killing birds and testing people for abnormal symptoms, Pyotr Verbitsky, Ukraine's chief veterinary inspector told reporters in the Crimean city of Simferopol.\n\nSales of live poultry have been banned throughout the peninsula and all people who had come into contact with poultry would undergo regular medical testing and were expected to receive flu vaccination shots, local health officials told reporters in Crimea earlier.\n\nThe domestic poultry were likely to have caught the virus after coming into contact with migratory birds, officials said.\n\nThe cases are near the Sivash saltwater lake in Crimea's northeast, a popular stopover route for millions of migratory birds from Russia's Siberia and Volga regions, as well as Asia, Verbitsky said.\n\n\"The virus is behaving differently than in Russia and Romania,\" Ukraine's neighbors where bird flu has also been detected, said Verbitsky.\n\n\"The sickness passes without any symptoms,\" he said. \"In the evening the birds are healthy and in the morning they are dead.\"\n\nAlthough the virulent H5N1 strain has not yet been detected in Ukraine, the country has banned the import of poultry and its derivatives from Croatia, Romania and Turkey, as well as several regions of Russia, along with imports of live wild and pet birds.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "declared",

SKG for 1.6 billion dollars in cash, the company said in a statement Sunday.\n\nDreamWorks, which created successful computer animated features such as \"Shrek,\" was also sought after by NBC Universal, a unit of General Electric.\n\nIn the deal, Paramount assumed DreamWorks debt.\n\nThe final deal gives Paramount access to 59 films in DreamWorks' library, including \"Gladiator,\" \"American Beauty,\" \"War of the Worlds,\" \"Saving Private Ryan,\" and \"Catch Me if You Can,\" which Paramount plans to sell off, according to the statement.\n\nParamount takes over all of DreamWorks' current projects and creates an ongoing partnership with Steven Spielberg, who has directed some of DreamWorks' most successful films.\n\nSpielberg and David Geffen, also of DreamWorks, are to produce four to six live-action films per year of the 14-16 films Paramount said it expects to make next year.\n\nDreamWorks Animation also announced that it had struck a seven-year deal to distribute its films in theaters, television and home DVD and video players worldwide.\n\nThe agreement was conditioned on Paramount's purchase of DreamWorks.\n\n\"We are pleased with the benefits this new relationship provides DreamWorks Animation,\" stated Jeffrey Katzenberg, chief executive of DreamWorks Animation.\n\nDreamWorks Animation receives 75 million dollars to pay off debt.\n\nDreamWorks Animation will also be able to collaborate on new television programming owned by Paramount's parent company, Viacom, including Nickelodeon, MTV, Nick at Nite, VH1, BET, TV Land,

At least 1.4 billion yuan (about 175 million U.S. dollars) of project funds have been earmarked for environmental protection.\n\nYu said more than 100 wild giant pandas lived in the stations' drainage area and this had sparked widespread concern that their natural environment might be affected.\n\nBut the expert said most of the concerns were \"unnecessary\" because all the projects were built or planned on the Yangtze mainstream, far from the giant panda habitats.\n\nThe Mamize Natural Reserve, the closest habitat, is about 50 kilometers from the Xiluodu station currently under construction, Yu said.\n\nThe Yangtze tributaries Xining River and Xisujiao River are the main water sources for Mamize, said Gyina Guqe, chief of the natural reserve.\n\n\"When completed, the hydropower station will slightly raise the water levels of the two tributaries and the humidity of the natural reserve will also rise,\" said Gyina, adding that this will help the growth of the subtropical wildlife in the area, especially the 12,000 hectares of bamboos that giant pandas feast on.\n\nThe Xiluodu hydropower station will replace local thermal power plants, which means 41 million tons less coal burnt each year, said the official.\n\nAbout 150 million tons of carbon dioxide and 850,000 tons of sulfur dioxide emissions will be eliminated thanks to the new hydropower project, said Gyina.",

FTAA\n\n\n\n\nThe fourth Summit of the Organization of American states (OAS) will take place on November 4-5 at Mar del Plata, Aregentina, to focus on FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas), fighting poverty and strengthening democratic governance.\n\nThe first Summit of the Americas was held in December, 1994 at Miami, the United States. The meeting endorsed the idea of FTAA and approved Plan of Action to strengthen democracy, eradicate poverty and promote sustainable development in the region.\n\nThe first summit was based on the initiative former US President George Bush, father of the current US President George W. Bush.\n\nThe 1994 summit, called by then US President William Clinton, occurred just after the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Mexico, Canada and the United States.\n\nNAFTA was deemed as an experiment of Washington for future similar agreements with Latin American countries or a continental one.\n\nFour years later, in April 1998, the second Summit took place at Santiago, Chile. The summit decided to promote transparency in matters related to defense policy and the peaceful settlement of disputes in the Hemisphere.\n\nThe third Summit was held at Quebec City, Canada, in April 2001.\n\nThe 2001 summit stated that commitment to democracy was a requirement for a country's participation in the summit process. The meeting also determined that the OAS was to be the technical secretarial for the process, assuming many of the responsibilities previously taken by the host country.\n\nIn January, 2004, Mexico hosted a special summit to address the issues of economic growth with equity, social development and democratic governance. No major results were obtained.\n\nThe FTAA, a pet project of the US, which is designed to unite 34 continental and Caribbean countries in a trade pact and originally expected to be created this year, has been delayed by serious disputes in the negotiations between the United States and Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela.\n\nIf the FTAA were to come into effect, it would group 34 countries of the continent, representing an economy of 13 trillion US dollars and a population of 800 million.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "take", "start_char": 188, "end_char": 192,

Jefferson\n@ Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal \n 10/26/89 \n WALL STREET JOURNAL (J) \n MGMG RAM \n TENDER OFFERS, MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS (TNM)\nREAL ESTATE, REITS, LAND DEVELOPMENT (REL)\nCASINOS AND GAMBLING (CNO)\nSTOCK MARKET, OFFERINGS (STK) \n BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. \n\n MGM Grand Inc. has agreed to pay $93 million and nearly 1.8 million common shares to buy 117 acres of land along the Las Vegas, Nev., Strip as a site for its planned movie-studio and theme-park resort. \n\n Of the total purchase price, $50 million cash and $30 million in stock (nearly 1.8 million shares) would be paid to buy the existing 700-room Marina Hotel amp Casino from Southwest Securities, a Nevada limited partnership. \nThe remaining properties to be acquired are the Tropicana Country Club amp Golf Course, a facility jointly owned by Ramada Inc., of Phoenix, Ariz., and the Jaffe family, and a small parcel owned by MGM Grand director James D. Aljian. \n\n The purchase price was disclosed in a preliminary prospectus issued in connection with MGM Grand's planned offering of six million common shares. \nThe luxury airline and casino company, 98.6%-owned by investor Kirk Kerkorian and his Tracinda Corp., earlier this month announced its agreements to acquire the properties, but did n't disclose the purchase price. \n\n The proposed stock offering and issuance of nearly 1.8 million common shares in connection with the land purchase will bring MGM Grand's total shares outstanding to 28.7 million, of which 72% will be owned by Mr. Kerkorian and Tracinda, according to the prospectus. \n\n In over-the-counter trading, MGM Grand was bid at $17.50 a share. \n\n Proceeds from the offering are expected to be used for remodeling the company's Desert Inn resort in Las Vegas, refurbishing certain aircraft of the MGM Grand Air unit, and to acquire the property for the new resort. \nThe company said it estimates the Desert Inn remodeling will cost about $32 million, and the refurbishment of the three DC-8-62 aircraft, made by McDonnell Douglas Corp., will cost around $24.5 million. \n\n MGM Grand said the latest stock offering wo n't cover the $600 million or more cost of building the proposed resort and theme park, and added it will need to seek additional financing, either through bank borrowings or debt and equity offerings, at a later date. \nConstruction is set to begin in early 1991. \n\n The resort will include the MGM Grand Hotel, a multi-spired, castle-like facility that will include 5,000 rooms and 85,000 square feet of casino space. \nThe facility will be marketed toward families, and room rates will be between $35 and $55 a night, MGM Grand said. \n\n The prospectus did n't include many details about the studio and theme park, although conceptual drawings, released this month, show that it may feature several \"themed\" areas similar to those found at parks built by Walt Disney Co.",

This time, he headed a CPC delegation to pay a goodwill visit to Tanzania in order to enhance mutual understanding, reinforce friendship, exchange experience and deepen cooperation, Li said.\n\nLi spoke highly of the achievements that Tanzania and other African countries made in advancing social and economic development.\n\nHe said since African countries and their peoples are at a critical stage in all-round national construction and in the process of exploring development routes that suit to their different specific national conditions, China is ready to join hands with the African countries to seize the opportunities to promote China-Africa cooperation and South-South cooperation to a new level.\n\nLi expressed the confidence that under the leadership of the Revolutionary Party of Tanzania, the Tanzanian people will surely be able to cope with various challenges and create a better future. China will as always work with Tanzania to continuously consolidate and expand their time-tested friendship, he added.\n\nOn the relations between the CPC and the Revolutionary Party of Tanzania, Li said both parties are ruling parties in their own countries.

He emphasized that the CPC is willing to further strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the Revolutionary Party of Tanzania.\n\nLi put forward four suggestions on further strengthening the friendly exchanges and cooperation between the two political parties.\n\nFirst, Li said the two parties should maintain high-level contact so as to further enhance mutual understanding and political trust between their leaders.\n\nSecondly, the two parties should strengthen exchange of experience on administration and governing the country and learn from each other, Li said.\n\nThirdly, he said the two parties should carry out personnel exchanges by exploring new ways and new forms in this respect.\n\nFourthly, Li said the two parties should continue to explore new areas of party-to-party cooperation that will help advance bilateral trade and economic cooperation.\n\nMangula warmly welcomed Li and the CPC delegation to visit Tanzania. He said the visit will push the friendly bilateral relations that established by older generations of leadership of the two countries to a new era.\n\nMangula agreed with Li's comment on the relations between the two countries and between the Revolutionary Party and CPC. He highly praised the four suggestions that Li put forward on advancing exchanges between the two political parties.\n\nMangula said the Revolutionary Party attaches great importance to exchanges and cooperation with the CPC. He said his party is ready to work with the CPC to explore new mechanisms and arrangements for deepening their relations.\n\nMangula reiterated that Tanzania will continue to stick to the one China policy.

communication technology (ICT) in education, Minister of State for Education Gan Kim Yong said Wednesday.\n\n\"Generally, the use of ICT has expanded learning opportunities for our students, bringing them beyond their classrooms into authentic learning environments,\" Gan said at the opening of the 13th International Conference on Computers in Education (ICCE).\n\nApart from adopting the approach of top-down support for bottom- up initiatives to implement innovative ICT-based pedagogical practices in schools, the Education Ministry will also encourage inter-school collaborations to use ICT for teaching and learning, according to the minister.\n\nDuring the three-day conference, participants will discuss topics such as the development of ICT in administration, the use of blogs and e-learning in a series of panels and workshops.\n\nThe ICCE series has been organized by the Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education (APSCE), which evolved from the Asia- Pacific Chapter of the Association for the Advancement of Computers in Education (AACE) based in the United States.\n\nThe aim of the conferences is to foster the creation and dissemination of knowledge about the use of

maintain illicit diamond trade: UN\n\n\n\n\nRebels in the Ivory Coast continue the secret production and illegal export of diamonds to neighboring countries in violation of a United Nations embargo, a report by UN experts said Wednesday.\n\nThe experts \"found continued evidence of diamond production in Cote d'Ivoire and illicit exporting of diamonds, especially to Mali,\" said the report prepared for the UN Security Council.\n\nThe report identified Malian buyers which \"underlines the significant smuggling of Ivorian diamonds to Mali\" where the experts observed the illicit activity in November.\n\nIn addition to Ghana and Mali, the experts believed there was regular smuggling of Ivorian diamonds to Guinea.\n\nThe UN on December 4 reaffirmed its support for the Kimberley Process (KP), a global initiative designed to stop the market of \"blood diamonds\" -- sold to pay for warfare -- which includes 47 representatives from 71 countries.\n\n\"No action could be taken against Mali,\" since it is not a member of the certification process, but Ghana could be sanctioned in February 2007, the report said.\n\nIt cited an instance when a \"suspicious shipment of rough diamonds with a Ghanaian certificate of origin was blocked in Dubai in July 2006,\" saying the group asked for further information from the United Arab Emirates but got none.\n\n\"According to scientific examination, the diamonds were not of Ghanaian origin, and the group was surprised that the United Arab Emirates had released the package to the importer.\"\n\nIn previous reports, the UN experts have said that diamonds were a major source of revenue for the New Forces (FN) rebels which have controlled the north of Ivory Coast since September 2002.\n\nThe FN rebels have denied the UN accusations of exploiting the country's diamond wealth, saying they get their money from cocoa and coffee and other products.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "continue", "start_char": 137,

country in the world to do more in this field.\n\n\"It is rapidly gaining pace. There is steward awareness among Chinese leadership, particularly those who are looking at future economic development power of China,\" he told Xinhua Wednesday during a major United Nations climate change meeting being held here.\n\nSteiner suggested that China exert more efforts in power generation in the future and public transport.\n\n\"I know the leadership in China, with international collaboration, is looking at how the power, the electricity that is needed in the future can be generated,\" he said.\n\nThe UNEP chief also advised the Chinese government to work out a plan to manage the public transport as China has seen a rapid growth of private vehicles in the past years.\n\nSteiner also pointed out that forestation and efficient management of lands could help China register sustainable development.\n\nChina, which has sent a delegation led by senior officials and diplomats to the climate change conference, is a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, which is aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emission through global efforts to curb the trend of adverse climate change.\n\nThe UN conference on climate change kicked off on Monday, with participating parties exploring an

international community would stay on in Kosovo for a long time to come whatever the outcome of the talks on the Serbian breakaway province, said Martti Ahtisaari, UN envoy on Kosovo future status talks, on Saturday.\n\n\"Whatever the status is going to be, I think we all recognize that there is going to be a presence of the international community in Kosovo for quite some time to come,\" Ahtisaari, former Finnish president and veteran peace broker, told a press conference following meetings with Montenegrin leaders in Podgorica, capital of Montenegro.\n\nAhtisaari embarked on his first tour of the Balkan region this week to launch the process of defining Kosovo's future status. He has visited Kosovo and Serbia in an effort to collect first-hand material about the situation.\n\nKosovo is nominally part of Serbia-Montenegro, but it has been run by the United Nations and NATO since mid-1999. Kosovo's ethnic Albanian majority is insisting on independence from Serbia, while Belgrade wants to retain sovereignty over Kosovo.\n\nAhtisaari said that he expected the direct talks between Belgrade and Pristina to start early next year.\n\n\"In order for us to make progress in these talks, it is important to make progress on the (democratic) standards, and that requires not only the actions and measures by the Kosovo Albanians, but also the cooperation of minority population, including the Serbs,\" Ahtisaari said.\n\nThere are some 100,000 Kosovo Serbs, living in isolated enclaves. They have been boycotting the province's institutions, complaining of harassment by majority ethnic Albanians.\n\nLate on Saturday, Ahtisaari traveled to Albania where he met with Albanian leaders. From Albania, Ahtisaari will travel to Macedonia, which also has a sizable restive ethnic Albanian minority.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "stay", "start_char": 151,

2006\n\n=(PICTURE)=\n\n\n\n\nAfghan President Hamid Karzai used the start of the Islamic Eid festival Saturday to again call on Taliban-led rebels to end their insurgency, which he said was being directed by \"strangers\".\n\nKarzai made the call after leading some of his cabinet and other officials to Eid al-Adha prayers in a busy mosque in the centre of the city, a departure from his routine of praying inside the heavily defended presidential compound.\n\n\"I call upon those who are still committing acts against their land, those who are still acting on orders of strangers in the destruction of their land, to give up fighting,\" Karzai told reporters.\n\nThe president this month accused the government of neighbouring Pakistan of trying to turn his countrymen into \"slaves\", in his strongest words yet blaming Islamabad for the wave of insurgent violence.\n\nPakistan has angrily denied the allegations.\n\nThe insurgency launched after the Taliban were toppled in a US-led offensive in late 2001 has been at its fiercest this year, with the militants showing new sophistication and launching deadly attacks in the heart of the capital.\n\nThe violence has claimed nearly 4,000 lives this year, with most of the dead rebel fighters.\n\nKarzai regularly calls on Taliban foot soldiers to lay down their arms and join a government reconciliation programme.\n\nIn his message for Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, Taliban leader Mullah Mohammand Omar on Friday praised his followers' sacrifices in their campaign and said they would never accept defeat.",

Minister Ohn Gyaw made the comments Tuesday at a meeting of Burmese and ASEAN officials here, a week after the US imposed an investment ban on Burma and appealed to the regional grouping to bar Rangoon's admittance.\n\n\"We are indebted to the ASEAN secretariat, as well as to our ASEAN friends\" for their support, Ohn Gyaw said, adding Tuesday's consultative meeting served to provide a vital link between Burma and the ASEAN countries.\n\n\"It illustrates the kind encouragement on the part of our ASEAN friends, as well as our sincere commitment regarding Myanmar's (Burma's) membership,\" Ohn Gya was quoted as saying in the New Light of Myanmar.\n\nHe did not, however, mention the investment ban on US companies in Burma, which was announced by Washington a week ago in response to the junta's continued repression of the pro-democracy opposition.\n\nMost of the countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations have already rebuffed the US appeal to bar Burma's entry into the group, which is expected to occur later this year.\n\nASEAN groups Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Cambodia and Laos are slated to join the grouping at the same time as Burma.\n\nOhn Gyaw said Burma had already established a national ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) unit and an ASEAN core group in the foreign ministry as part of its plans to accede to the grouping as a full member.\n\nThai Foreign Minister Prachuab Chaiyasarn said Tuesday that the admittance of Burma, Cambodia and Laos would be determined by their readiness to observe the obligations of ASEAN membership.\n\nThese obligations include an ability to accede to AFTA, under which trade barriers in the region would be dismantled

{"text": "AFP_ENG_20051209.0140\n\nTOKYO, Dec 10 , 2005\n\nby Martin Parry\n\n\n\n\nThe World Cup draw threw up some enticing encounters for Asia-Pacific nations, with newcomers Australia and Asian champions Japan drawn in the same group as holders Brazil.\n\nSouth Korea, semi-finalists four years ago, have an easier ride, in a group that pits them against Switzerland and Togo but also 1998 winners France.\n\nSaudi Arabia will play perennial underachievers Spain, and also Ukraine and African champions Tunisia while Asia's other representative, Iran, has its work cut out against seeded side Mexico, Portugal and debutants Angola.\n\nJapan and Australia, who also play Croatia, begin Group F action with a clash against each other in Kaiserslautern on June 12, but it is the prospect of meeting five-time champions Brazil that has mouths watering in Asia.\n\n\"Perhaps Japan and Croatia have other ideas, but realistically we are looking for the spot behind Brazil,\" said Australia's coach Guus Hiddink, who has helped spark huge interest in football in Australia.\n\n\"They are the favourites and the toughest draw we could have had,\" added the Dutchman, who steered South Korea to the last four in 2000.\n\nAustralia are competing at their first World Cup finals since 1974.\n\nJapan, recently voted Asia's team of the year by the Asian Football Confederation, are more of an unknown entity for Hiddink, but he is not underestimating them.\n\n\"Japan have changed a lot since 2002 and, like us, they will want to pull something out of the hat,\" he said. \"We are happy to have qualified, but we are not here to make up the numbers and want to spring a surprise.\"\n\nFor Japan's Brazilian coach Zico, who took over from Frenchman Philippe Troussier after the 2002 World Cup, being drawn against his home country is a dream come true, and he is ready for the challenge.\n\n\"A team that has qualified for the World Cup finals must be prepared for any situation whatsoever,\" Zico, who played for Brazil at three World Cups, told Japanese television in Leipzig after the draw there.\n\n\"For us, it is easier to encounter Brazil in the first round. It is better than fighting them after winning through to the second round.\"\n\nWhile Brazil are the number one threat, Zico is aware that Australia under Hiddink are dangerous and shouldn't be underestimated.\n\n\"They are well guided. It will be very important for us to win the first match and boost the morale of my players,\" he said.\n\nAustralia play Brazil at Nuremburg on June 18 while Japan will lock horns with them in Dortmund on June 22.\n\nSouth Korea, led by Manchester United star Park Ji-Sung, will fancy their chances in Group G, opening their World Cup against first-timers Togo in Frankfurt on June 13.\n\nWhile playing down the prospect of another semi-final success, coach Dick Advocaat said his team would be difficult to beat, but acknowledged France were favourites to top the group.\n\n\"We have three tough games but the way we are playing we are very difficult to beat at the moment. We have a very young team but it is maturing,\" he said. \"France are slight favourites on paper.\"\n\nThree-time Asian champions Iran have a tough draw, with manager Branko Ivankovic admitting it will be hard to overcome Euro 2004 runners-up Portugal and Mexico in Group D.\n\n\"Our problem will be in adapting to the different styles -- European, African and Latin-American. I hope our players will learn how to respond to the different problems,\" said the Croatian.\n\nIn Group H, Saudi Arabia, in their fourth consecutive World Cup, will need to be at their best to beat Ukraine, the first European nation to qualify for Germany, and Africa's top country Tunisia.\n\nSaudi Arabia suffered a humiliating 8-0 defeat to eventual runners-up Germany in their opener of the 2002 World Cup in Japan, and will be looking to avoid a similar disaster at all costs.\n\nThe World Cup finals get underway in Munich on June 9 when hosts Germany meet Costa Rica.",

baht (1 cent) per liter upon a continued decline in global fuel prices, but remain the diesel price unchanged, Thai News Agency reported Wednesday.\n\nEffective at 5:00 am on Nov. 30, the prices of premium and regular gasoline, as well as gasohol in Greater Bangkok drop to 24. 84, 24.04 and 23.34 baht (62 cents, 60 cents and 58 cents) per liter, while the diesel price remains unchanged at 22.72 baht (57 cents) per liter.\n\nChaivat Churitti, senior executive vice president of PTT's Oil Business Group, said on Tuesday that the fuel prices were set to reduce at 5:00 am on Wednesday because the Internal Trade Department made a written request for oil traders to announce the price change 12 hours in advance to facilitate an official check of selling prices at service stations.\n\nHe said the latest price cut stemmed from the weakening of crude prices on the world market, resulting in gasoline prices in Singapore declining to 57.64 US dollars per barrel.", "time_expressions": null,

second cricket Test against New Zealand here Saturday as they built an overall 363-run lead with five wickets remaining in a confident second innings batting spree.\n\nIn a match which again appears destined to finish well inside five days, weather permitting, Sri Lanka were 225 for five in their second innings at stumps on the second day.\n\nThe free-flowing scoring on a benign batting pitch was in stark contrast to the rather limp first innings efforts from both sides where New Zealand were all out for 130 in reply to Sri Lanka's 268.\n\nSri Lanka, seeking to square the series after New Zealand won the first Test by five wickets, were at one stage four for 100 in their second innings with the top order dismissals including danger man Kumar Sangakkara.\n\nAfter unbeaten centuries in his previous two innings, Sangakkara lasted only 14 balls before cutting Shane Bond to James Franklin at deep point to be out for eight and finish the Test series with an impressive average of 134.\n\nIt was Chamara Silva who primarily kept the scoreboard ticking over with a 68-run stand for the fifth wicket with Mahela Jayawardene, and an unbeaten 57-run partnership with Prasanna Jaywardene.\n\nAt the close, Silva was unbeaten on 79, his second half century of the match after failing to score in the first Test, while Jayawardene was not out 22.\n\nLasith \"Slinga\" Malinga and Muttiah Muralitharan had earlier bowled Sri Lanka to a 138-run first innings lead.\n\nThe New Zealand batsmen had no answer to the hostile pace and slinging action of Malinga at one end, and could not read Muralitharan's spin at the other, as they crumbled to be all out before lunch on the second day for 130.\n\nOf the New Zealand batsmen only Brendon McCullum put up any solid resistance. He was dropped on the first ball of the day without scoring and went on to post 43 before he was bowled by Muralitharan to end the innings.\n\nBut his knock was not without cost as a Malinga blow to the knuckles forced him to go to hospital for treatment.\n\nMathew Sinclair replaced McCullum behind the stumps when Sri Lanka came out to bat again.\n\nNew Zealand has also lost all-rounder Jacob Oram to a hamstring injury, depleting their bowling options.\n\nOram was one of seven New Zealand batsmen who failed to make double figures, including senior players Stephen Fleming and Daniel Vettori who failed to get off the mark.\n\nWith a mix of bouncers and yorkers, Malinga terrorised the New Zealand order and was rewarded with career-best figures of five for 68, while Muralitharan chimed in with four for 31 to complete the demolition.\n\nIn one magical three-over spell, Muralitharan had Oram (1), James Franklin (1) and Shane Bond (8) all trapped leg before wicket.\n\nNew Zealand lead the series 1-0.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "took", "start_char": 94, "end_char": 98, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "VERB", "tense": "PAST",

as the flagship in recent off-shore exercises of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy, according to the PLA Navy sources.\n\nIt is the first time that the new-type warship has been made public, the PLA Daily reported on Thursday. It marks a breakthrough in the country's warship building sector, it said.\n\nThe stealth destroyer, which is independently designed and built by Chinese, is capable of accomplishing long-distance missions.\n\nIn late 2000, China began building the stealth destroyer. Experts involved in the project worked to make it as stealthy as possible, according to Navy sources.\n\nOver 30 percent of the equipment on the destroyer is newly developed.\n\nModule technology was also used on the new warship, making China the third country to use the technology in warship-building.\n\nBefore the new destroyer was handed over to the Navy, it made a 9,000-sea mile test voyage lasting more than 120 days. Over 300 problems were found and rectified, the sources said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "served", "start_char": 154, "end_char": 160, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1",

before they left for the 15th Asian Games in Doha, Qatar, on Dec. 1-15.\n\nIndonesia is sending a total of 219 people -- 131 athletes, 36 coaches, 17 team managers, six mechanics, six officials and 23 cooks -- to the Dec. 1-15 event.\n\nThe athletes will compete in 84 events from 20 sports, The Jakarta Post newspaper reported Thursday.\n\n\"You athletes are those who have been selected, groomed and are experienced after many competitions in and out of the country. So compete and fight for the best,\" the President was quoted as telling the athletes during a ceremony Wednesday.\n\nThe country is hoping to earn at least four gold medals from badminton, bowling, karate, taekwondo, cycling and sailing.\n\nState Minister for Youth and Sports Adhyaksa Dault said many of the athletes had trained in Thailand and Switzerland and their progress had been closely monitored by a government team.\n\nAdhyaksa said he considered the official target of a minimum of four golds as \"too pessimistic\".\n\n\"We can win more than that... at least eight golds from badminton, karate and bowling,\" he said.\n\nThe Asiad would also serve as a training ground for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, he said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

French president for not backing human rights censure\n\n\n\n\nChinese President Jiang Zemin and Prime Minister Li Peng thanked French President Jacques Chirac Monday for not supporting a European Union move to censure China over its human rights record.\n\nJiang told reporters the decision by Paris not to support an EU motion to criticize China's human rights record at the ongoing UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva was \"very good.\"\n\nLi told visiting French Defense Minister Charles Million that \"we appreciate this perceptive and intelligent decision\" by Chirac, state television reported.\n\nHe added that China was \"happy to cooperate and arrange exchanges with France\" in the area of defence and promoting human rights.\n\n\"In the past year, we have been happy to see that in bilateral and international fields, France and China have made great progress and in a positive direction,\" Li told Millon at the start of their meeting.\n\n\"We greatly appreciate the importance placed on Franco-Chinese relations by Chirac,\" he said, adding Beijing was looking forward to Chirac's visit in May.\"\n\nMillon's five-day visit, which started Sunday, is a clear indication that Paris wants to open a new chapter of ties with Beijing.\n\nDuring his visit, the first to China by a French defence minister since Paris and Beijing established diplomatic relations in 1964, Millon has invited Chinese defence officials to study in France and called for more visits from the Chinese navy.\n\nMillon's landmark visit is one of the highest-level French visits since the PLA stormed Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989 and fired on unarmed demonstrators, killing hundreds.\n\nEuropean Union foreign ministers agreed Monday to go ahead with UN resolutions criticising the human rights record of Burma, Zaire, Iraq and Iran despite failing to reach accord on a similar condemnation of China.\n\nThe move overcame a standoff when the EU's Dutch presidency threatened not to table any resolutions at the UN's Human Rights Commission's annual meeting in Geneva after France blocked a common EU stance on China.\n\nThe EU has jointly sponsored a resolution critical of China in Geneva every year since 1989.\n\nFrance's stance that it is better to pursue a dialogue with China than to seek confrontation is supported by Germany, Italy and Spain but these three countries were willing to go along with the resolution in the name of EU unity if Paris lifted its veto.\n\nHuman rights groups believe France's stance on the resolution is motivated by a concern not to jeopardise a major contract for Airbus planes that Chirac is expected to clinch when he visits Beijing.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "thanked", "start_char": 182, "end_char": 189, "eid":

month\n\n\n\n\nRates on 30-year mortgages in the United States fell this week to the lowest level in a month as new data showed the economy has been slowing down, mortgage giant Freddie Mac reported Thursday.\n\nIn the week ending November 2, rates on 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages dropped to 6.31 percent from 6.40 percent last week. That was the lowest level since those rates averaged 6.30 percent four weeks ago.\n\nOther types of mortgages also declined this week.\n\nRates on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, a popular choice for refinancing, fell to 6.02 percent from 6.10 percent last week.\n\nRates on one-year adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) decreased to 5.53 percent from 5.60 percent while rates on five-year ARMs were down to 6.05 percent from 6.14 percent.\n\nA year ago, 30-year mortgages averaged 6.31 percent, while 15- year mortgages stood at 5.85 percent, one-year ARMs were at 5.09 percent and the five-year ARMs at 5.76 percent.\n\nThe drops in mortgage rates came after reports showed the economy has been slowing, a development that could help reduce inflation pressures.\n\nLast Friday, the Commerce Department reported that the overall economy grew at a sluggish rate of 1.6 percent in the third quarter, the weakest pace in more than three years.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

disappears\n\n\n\n\nAn Israeli millionaire accused of selling chemical arms material to Iran has been missing for several weeks, press reports said Tuesday.\n\nNahum Manbar, 51, an owner of a Jerusalem basketball team, had been accused by US President Bill Clinton of selling material used in making chemical arms to Iran.\n\nIsrael's leading newspapers, the Yediot, Haaretz and Maariv, all reported the story over his \"mystery disappearance\" and have made independent attempts to contact him.\n\nManbar, who lived mostly in France owes Israeli banks 150,000 dollars in loans he took for his business deals that totalled 8 million dollars.\n\nFormer business colleagues in Israel said Manbar did not always stick to his commitments in deals.\n\nManbar lived in Nice, France with his wife and two children, who also could not be found. Calls to his home in southern France were not answered.\n\nBut a secretary at his French office told Israeli Channel Two television that Manbar had not disappeared.\n\n\"When they decide to contact anyone, they will,\" the unnamed secretary told the television. \"I can't say, I don't know where they are.\"\n\nManbar was born on the kibbutz Givat Hayim in northern Israel and left the country in 1985.\n\nIn 1991 the Israeli defense ministry forbade Israeli contacts with him based on reports he was selling chemical weapons parts to Iran, from China.\n\nClinton two years ago wrote in a letter to the US Congress that Manbar was involved in selling Iran materials used in the manufacture of chemical weapons.\n\nThe US government consequently imposed harsh sanctions on Manbar, preventing US businesses from working with him.\n\nThe New York Times reported in 1995 that Manbar had set up fake companies in Britain and Poland, through which he sold the weapons materials to Iran.\n\nThe materials, some of which had been produced in China, included those used to produce mustard and nerve gas, according to the New York Times.\n\nManbar told the Israeli Haaretz newspaper in 1995 that he had not sold such materials to Iran but clothes to protect against chemical attacks and that the appropriate Israeli officials knew of the deal.\n\nIsraeli officials told Yediot that Manbar had been the go-between for deals between military companies owned by the Israeli government and countries of the former Soviet Union.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "accused",

ADDS more quotes from statement, background ///\n\n\n\n\nEuropean plane maker Airbus is to develop its A350 passenger jet, parent company EADS announced on Friday, ending months of speculation and handing a boost to the European aerospace industry.\n\nThe board of EADS met in Amsterdam to discuss the A350 programme and decided to \"give the go ahead\" for the commercial development of the aircraft, a statement from EADS said.\n\n\"The A350 XWB, together with the A330/A340 aircraft family, will meet a market that requires some 5,700 new aircraft being delivered in the next two decades, with more than 1,000 billion dollars in value,\" the statement said.\n\nThe twin-engine Airbus A350 XWB has been designed to compete with two Boeing airliners, the existing 777 and the future 787 Dreamliner, which has proved highly popular with airlines.\n\nInitially drawn up in 2005, the Airbus A350 design was sent back to the drawing board after prospective clients complained of insufficient passenger capacity and excessive fuel consumption. It re-emerged in July this year as the A350 XWB. XWB stands for extra wide body.\n\nFinancing of the project is considered by analysts to be a critical issue and, tellingly, Airbus was vague about the details of how the 10-billion-euro (13-billion-dollar) project will be paid for.\n\nEADS and Airbus, which is a 100-percent-owned unit of EADS, are financially stretched because of cost over-runs with the Airbus A380 superjumbo project, which is running two years behind schedule.\n\nAs a result, EADS stressed on Friday that the decision on the A350 was linked to the \"full implementation\" of a vast restructuring plan called Power 8, which aims to cut costs throughout the business.\n\nIt said the A350 would be financed \"predominantly from the company cash flows\".\n\nNevertheless, EADS and Airbus are still expected to need other sources of capital to finance the project, the costs of which are forecast to be about double the initial estimate.\n\nOther sources could be the capital markets, in the form of a share issue or a bond issue, but might also be from European governments, namely Britain, France, Germany or Spain.\n\nThe involvement of governments, which are able to grant low-interest loans or guarantees, is a prickly issue given the ongoing trade dispute between the United States and the European Union.\n\nThe United States has filed a complaint at the World Trade Organisation alleging the government loans to Airbus amount to illegal state aid.\n\nThe European Union has countered with its own case, alleging that Boeing also benefits from illegal state aid, particularly in the form of uncontested military contracts.\n\n\"The funding requirements going forward will be proactively managed in line with company policy to preserve a strong balance sheet,\" EADS said.\n\n\"EADS expects to spread the development costs of the full XWB family over the years 2007 to 2014, with the bulk of the spending occurring in 2010-2013.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

anti-malaria drugs as well as the financing of and cooperation in the fight against the disease.\n\nAt the opening ceremony of the three-day seminar, Zhou Zhaoming, the commercial counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Dakar said this event, sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, was a concrete action taken by China to carry out its promise to help Africans fight malaria.\n\nThe seminar took place just two weeks after the Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, during which Chinese President Hu Jintao announced a series of measures to assist Africa in combating malaria, he said.\n\nAbdoulaye Ly, advisor of the Senegalese Health Ministry, attended the opening ceremony on behalf of the health minister. He said that China had accumulated enormous experience and made remarkable progress in its efforts to control the malaria epidemic.\n\nLy said the seminar offered a vital opportunity for China and Senegal to draw up strategies in their anti-malaria cooperation and share experiences in preventing and curing the disease.\n\nChina has been leading in the field of developing artemisinin-based anti-malaria medicines, which have been proved very effective in curing the disease. According to Chinese experts participating in the seminar, the number of people infected with malaria in China currently stood at 35,000, compared to the more than 60 million recorded in 1949.\n\nMalaria, an infectious disease characterized by cycles of chills, fever, and sweating, is caused by the parasitic infection of red blood cells by a protozoan of the genus Plasmodium, which is transmitted by the bite of an infected female anopheles mosquito.\n\nThough it is largely preventable, the disease kills some 3,000 children a day worldwide and claims nearly a million lives in Africa every year, according to figures from the World Health Organization (WHO). More than 90 percent of the world's malaria cases occur in Africa.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "gathered", "start_char": 177, "end_char": 185, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

Iran ///\n\n\n\n\nIsraeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Tuesday reiterated his country's longstanding position that it will not confirm or deny having nuclear weapons.\n\n\"Israel will not be the first country to introduce nuclear weapons to the region. That is our policy and it has not changed,\" he told a press conference after a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.\n\n\"There is no need to explain it any further.\"\n\nOlmert sparked an uproar on Monday when he made remarks in an interview with a German television station that were interpreted by some as a break with Israel's traditional nuclear \"policy of ambiguity\".\n\nHe told N24 Sat1 television: \"Iran openly, explicitly and publicly threatens to wipe Israel off the map.\n\n\"Can you say that this is the same level, when they are aspiring to have nuclear weapons, as France, America, Russia and Israel?\"\n\nTh apparent blunder came less than a week after Israeli officials rounded on the incoming US defense secretary Robert Gates for the same slip-up, and drew calls from across the political spectrum in Israel for Olmert to resign.\n\nThe prime minister's spokeswoman however immediately denied that his words had signalled any departure from established policy.\n\nIsrael's policy of nuclear ambiguity dates back to the early 1960s, to an agreement struck with the United States and France.\n\nUnder this policy, the Jewish state would not carry out any nuclear tests and would stay silent on the issue in order to prevent a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.\n\nObservers have warned however that Olmert's statement could undermine efforts by Israel and the West to prevent its arch-foe Iran from pursuing its bitterly contested nuclear power program.\n\nBut they also said that the prime minister's remarks were unlikely to change the way the world views the Jewish state's nuclear capabilities because it is widely assumed to have an atomic arsenal.\n\nOlmert on Tuesday described Iran's hardline regime as \"a danger\" for all of the western world. Israel and the West fear that Tehran's nuclear power programme masks an attempt to develop nuclear weapons.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "reiterated", "start_char": 158,

draw with West Brom 2-2\n\n\n\n\nYakubu scored a second-half penalty to earn Middlesbrough a 2-2 draw with visiting West Brom in the English Premier League on Sunday.\n\nThe Nigerian converted his spot-kick after Paul Robinson was adjudged to have fouled substitute Szilard Nemeth.\n\nMiddlesbrough took the lead when Mark Viduka's effort with the outside of his boot left keeper Tomasz Kuszczak stranded.\n\nWest Brom equalized through Nathan Ellington's rifled shot and then led 2-1 when Nwankwo Kanu fired home from Robinson's pass.\n\nThe final result was a fair one after both sides created ample chances and provided great entertainment on a rain-drenched day in Middlesbrough.\n\nThe first half-chance fell to the home side and resulted in a goal.\n\nViduka, who has often been criticized for not putting in enough effort during matches, proved what a valuable asset he is to Steve McClaren's squad, with a goal that would have scored 10s for artistic merit.\n\n\"Kanu is my vote for man of the match - he was fantastic.\"\n\nFormer Boro boss Bryan Robson knows the importance of having a player with Viduka's guile and ingenuity in the squad.\n\nIn Kanu, he has that, although the Nigerian's strike rate is far lower than that of his Middlesbrough counterpart.\n\nBut Robson has kept faith with the former Arsenal striker throughout the season for that little bit extra he gives the team.\n\nHis selection of Kanu for Sunday's match paid dividends six minutes after Viduka's strike.\n\nFirst, the Nigerian directed Quedrue's failed clearance into the path of Ellington, who punished the Frenchman's mistake.\n\nAnd shortly after the break, he gave the visitors the lead, picking up Robinson's square ball, selling Middlesbrough's defenders a dummy before passing the ball past keeper Mark Schwarzer.\n\nRobinson, who had come back into the first team following a three-match suspension, also had a hand in the next goal - although it went to Middlesbrough.\n\nAs the cross from Boro midfielder Fabio Rochemback came in, Robinson climbed over Nemeth, which resulted in referee Peter Walton pointing to the spot.\n\nYakubu converted to silence the vocal Baggies travelers.\n\nThe Nigeria striker should have given Boro the win, but failed to round keeper Kuszczak, while Jonathan Greening went close with a low effort that shaved Schwarzer's left-hand post late in the game.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "scored", "start_char": 105, "end_char": 111, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos": "VERB", "tense": "PAST",

resolution with Canada\n\n\n\n\nUS ambassador David Wilkins offered an olive branch in a lumber dispute with Canada Thursday during a speech at a Toronto luncheon, on the heels of a war of words between Ottawa and Washington.\n\n\"I understand and appreciate Canada's position on softwood lumber. You have made legitimate points. I am very encouraged, as you should be, by recent developments in the past six weeks,\" Wilkins said, after earlier rebuffing Prime Minister Paul Martin's criticisms of US environmental policies.\n\nWilkins was referring to a decision in November by the US Department of Commerce to comply with a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) panel decision ordering the United States to reduce punishing duties on Canadian softwood lumber imports.\n\nThe US Commerce Department said it would recalculate its so-called countervailing duty on softwood lumber from Canada at a rate of 0.8 percent, down from 16 percent.\n\nA separate \"antidumping\" duty of about four percent is not affected.\n\n\"Once that process is completed, assuming there is no (US) appeal from it, that would result probably as early as the end of January that there would be no tariffs on softwood,\" Wilkins said.\n\n\"It's got to play itself out, ... but that's the direction it's headed,\" he said, in the first sign that the United States might concede defeat in this trade dispute.\n\nWilkins said Washington still hoped for a negotiated settlement after Canada's January 23 election.\n\nCanada walked away from the bargaining table in August to protest Washington's handling of the issue.\n\nMartin said he would need a sign from Washington, such as refunding some four billion US dollars in duties collected so far, before returning to the negotiating table.\n\n\"I would submit to you that showing of good faith is there. It doesn't get any clearer than that -- the commerce department's recent decision to slash the tariffs, to render a decision that would result in the elimination of tariffs probably as early as January,\" Wilkins said.\n\nWashington could still make an \"extraordinary challenge\" to the NAFTA panel ruling under the trade pact that would take additional time.\n\nMeanwhile, Ottawa unveiled a plan in recent weeks to provide an additional 1.5 billion Canadian dollars (1.2 billion US dollars) in aid for lumber companies and communities affected by the trade dispute, a move that quickly drew criticism from US lumber groups.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "offered", "start_char": 139, "end_char": 146, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1", "type": "OCCURRENCE", "pos":

"AFP_ENG_20061214.0793\n\nBRUSSELS, Dec 15 , 2006, 2006\n\n=(PICTURE)=\n\n\n\n\nEuropean Union leaders meet Friday for the last time as a group of 25, amid agreement to slow down the process of enlargement until the bloc has the institutional tools it needs to support new members.\n\nWith Bulgaria and Romania poised to become the 26th and 27th EU countries in just over a fortnight, the leaders have decided that their entry into Europe's rich club will be the last for several years.\n\nTurkey's candidacy was slowed down this week, with a freeze put on further discussion on around a quarter of the policy chapters it must negotiate to realise its 40-year quest for European integration.\n\nThe stand on newcomers will also have major repercussions for Croatia, the most advanced of the current EU hopefuls, and Macedonia, which has made tremendous reform strides just five years after narrowly averting a civil war.\n\nFinnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen, whose country holds the bloc's presidency until the end of the month, said that the leaders had agreed that EU hopefuls should be obliged to more strictly respect the rules.\n\n\"It was strongly underlined that the pace of accession depends on the acceeding countries ability to comply with the rules,\" he said, late Thursday after a summit dinner focused on future expansions.\n\n\"The criteria must be strictly applied to,\" he said.\n\nA key to the problem has been the failure of the European constitution, endorsed by EU leaders but which was rejected by French and Dutch voters last year, sparking the bloc's worst-ever crisis.\n\nThe constitution was meant to streamline the EU's institutions as the bloc grows, but while there have been tentative moves to discuss alternatives, no real solution to the blueprint for Europe's future is expected before 2009.\n\nVanhanen said that the leaders, in confidential talks, had agreed that there was no point in throwing away the painstakingly assembled text.\n\n\"We cannot throw out the entire text and start again from scratch,\" he said. \"Most member states would like to retain, if not the treaty as such, at least as much of the substance as possible.\"\n\nEuropean Commission Jose Manuel Barroso said the leaders were moving toward a \"new consensus\" on enlargement that will make it tougher for prospective members to join, particularly until the institutions are reinforced.\n\n\"I see after this very deep discussion, a new consensus emerging on enlargement,\" he said after the heads of state and government had laid out their visions of where Europe's final frontiers should lie.\n\n\"We understand the need to combine the strategic vision of enlargement -- why enlargement is so important for Europe -- with the capacity of integration of the European Union.\"\n\nGermany, which takes over the EU presidency from Finland on January 1, is expected to revive talks on the constitution, though probably not using that term, and plot a roadmap for its acceptance.\n\nHowever no substantive decisions are expected before France takes over Europe's helm in the second half of 2008.\n\nLooking well down the enlargement road, the leaders also prepared to renew a commitment to bring Serbia into their fold, amid a tense election campaign there dominated by Kosovo's hopes for independence.\n\nThe EU froze talks on closer ties with Belgrade in May over its failure to cooperate fully with the UN war crimes tribunal, but Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker said Serbia could expect an outstretched EU hand on Friday.\n\n\"Everyone does agree that the Serbian case is a very important regional and continental case,\" he said. \"We'll express ourselves tomorrow in a Serbia-friendly way.\"\n\nThe leaders will endorse the conclusions of their summit after 10:00 am (0900 GMT) with the Finnish presidency holding a closing press conference at around 1:00 pm (1200 GMT).", "time_expressions": null,

poll\n\n\n\n\nA nationwide poll has indicated that India's main opposition party of Hindu nationalists would be elected to power if fresh elections were held now, the United News of India said Tuesday.\n\nThe poll, conducted between April 2 and 8 across 16 of India's 25 states, predicted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (Indian People's Party, BJP) and its allies would get between 237 and 253 seats in the 545-seat parliament.\n\nMore than half of the 13,000 registered voters interviewed said they preferred mid-term polls instead of a new coalition government.\n\nIndia's United Front alliance, ousted in a parliamentary vote of confidence last week after its estranged ally, the Congress (I) party suddenly withdrew support after 10 months, would suffer in fresh elections, the poll indicated.\n\nIndia's 545-seat lower house is almost evenly split between the BJP, the single largest party with 162 seats, the Congress and the United Front, an alliance of 13 leftist, centrist and regional parties.\n\nThe BJP and its allies need about 70 additional members to form a government on their own.\n\nThe poll said the Front would get between 150 and 164 seats, a \"1.1 percent negative swing,\" while the Congress would only win between 112 and 126 seats against its current position of 139.\n\nIndia's political crisis, however, ended Tuesday with the Congress pledging to support a new Front-led alliance under a new leadership.\n\nThe party withdrew support from the Front on March 30, accusing Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda of pandering to Hindu nationalists and accusing him of incompetence.\n\nDeve Gowda has offered to step down to regain Congress backing for the Front and prevent mid-term elections but the BJP favours polls, saying any fresh coalition government would not last more than six months.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "indicated", "start_char": 148, "end_char":

and gas project led by US oil giant ExxonMobil to a total of to 19.3 billion dollars (14.7 billion euros), the Russian energy ministry said on Thursday.\n\nThe original budget was for 12.8 billion dollars but extra costs amounted to 6.5 billion dollars because of work on the Chayvo reserves in the northeastern part of the island of Sakhalin in far eastern Russia, the ministry said.\n\nThe private consortium operating the project in far eastern Russia must consult with the Russian government about project budgets under terms of a production sharing agreement (PSA) that governs the project.\n\nThe Russian state only receives a share of profits from the project once the participating companies, which include Russian, Chinese and Indian energy firms, have recouped their investment.\n\n\"The work programme and the estimate of the expenses for extraction and management of December 2006 has been approved,\" the ministry said in a statement.\n\nSakhalin-2, another project on the island that is operated by Anglo-Dutch energy giant Shell, ran into trouble with the Russian government when it increased budget costs from 10 to 20 billion dollars in 2005.\n\nSakhalin-2 also operates under a PSA with the Russian state.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "given", "start_char": 124, "end_char": 129, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

related to violence against women is increasing by the year in Nepal, a report submitted to the on-going campaign of \"Ensure zero tolerance for violence against women\" disclosed here on Saturday.\n\nAccording to the report released by the Forum for Women, Law and Development (FWLD), a non-governmental organization, crime against women in Nepal, especially domestic violence, increased to 922 in 2003-2004 from a total of 569 reported cases of domestic violence in the year of 2002-2003.\n\nSimilarly, trafficking and child marriage has increased from the previous year, the report stated.\n\nThe toll on women and children is invariable heavy due to the conflict situation as also the fact that higher percentages of the displaced are also women, the report said.\n\nThousands of women are unable to report to police or are deprived of litigation either due to absence of courts in the countryside due to conflict or because they fear further atrocities from the perpetrators, the report added.\n\nMeanwhile, several United Nations institutions here pointed out that Nepal should strive to ensure that every woman has equal citizenship right, the right to equal property, and equal access to migration and labor.\n\nJointly organized by United Nations Population Fund and FWLD, the campaign from Friday will last 16 days in marking the International Day for Elimination of Violence

He has been charged with driving his son's fiancee to attempt suicide by forbidding their marriage because they were of different clans.\n\nIn a 21-year reign, Niyazov ruthlessly crushed dissent, declared himself president-for-life, and instituted an intense personality cult, naming months after himself and his mother, erecting gold statues of himself, and having his image adorn everything from banknotes to vodka bottles.\n\nHowever, many ordinary Turkmens appeared to be in genuine shock at his death, saying they were lost without his guidance and fearful for the generous social policies he instituted.\n\nThe state funeral was to begin with the lying in state of Niyazov's body at Ashgabat's presidential palace at 0400 GMT.\n\nThe corpse would then be taken to the Kipchak mausoleum, a building constructed by French contractors and already containing the remains of Niyazov's father, who was killed in World War II, and his mother, who died in a huge earthquake in 1948, orphaning the future Turkmen leader in his childhood.\n\nAlongside the mausoleum is Central Asia's biggest mosque, also French-built at a cost estimated at 100 million dollars (76 million euros).\n\nThe national mourning period will last until December 30.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "due", "start_char": 87, "end_char": 90, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1",

suffering a stroke in November.\n\n\"Individualism is tending to develop in various forms in state enterprises and offices, causing huge damage to solidarity, state property and is a hurdle to national development,\" he said.\n\n\"Individualism reduces people's confidence in the Party and state, discourages some foreign investors,\" said Anh, a conservative who observers expect will be replaced in September.\n\nHe quoted Ho Chi Minh, the founder of modern Vietnam who remains the symbol of ideological purity, as saying, \"Individualism is a wicked enemy to socialism. Revolutionary people must annihilate it.\"\n\nThe remarks were echoed by Le Kha Phieu, who as head of the Interior Ministry is responsible for internal security. He linked individualism to corruption, drugs and even weaknesses in the banking system, which has been rocked by scandal and mishap this year.\n\n\"Banks lend people money but they use the money on gambling and on spending on parties, that is individualism,\" he told reporters.\n\nAlthough two key pieces of banking legislation have been postponed until the next National Assembly session in the fall, observers said the performance of the central bank, and especially its governor Cao Si Kiem, will come under heavy criticism.\n\n\"Kiem is going to take a lot of heat for the problems in the banking system, and it looks quite likely that he will go,\" said one Hanoi- based businessman.\n\nThe session will also make amendments in the penal code, introducing stiffer penalties for corruption and drug trafficking, production and abuse.\n\n\"We are sick of talking about corruption, now is the time to take action,\" Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet told reporters.\n\nEarlier this week, a Ho Chi Minh City appeals court upheld the death penalty for four people convicted of embezzling nearly 40 million dollars in state funds.\n\nThe assembly is expected to also pass laws introducing a value added tax to replace the existing turnover tax, a law on corporate income tax and a trade law.\n\nIt will pass a law on the election of representives that will enlarge the National Assembly from 395 to 450 members when elections for the next five-year term are held on July 20. It will also include provisions allowing candidates to conduct their campaigns in the media.\n\nCommunist party representation, which now makes up 92 percent of delegates, could fall to about 80 percent, said Vu Mao, the National Assembly office chairman. Up to seven of 10 present deputies will be replaced, he said last week.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "opened", "start_char": 164, "end_char": 170, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

his country, where a strong earthquake claimed lives of over 73,000 people.\n\nMusharaff had said the aid his country received from the international community was far below that contributed to the victims of the Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina that devastated the gulf coast of the United States.\n\nBadawi said Malaysia had offered significant aid to Pakistan, including medical goods, medical teams, and contributions of materials by Malaysian companies operating in Pakistan.

closures\n\n\n\n\nAn Israeli minister called Thursday for a review of the government's policy of imposing closures on the Palestinian territories following anti-Israeli violence, saying the measure may harm national security.\n\nLabor Minister Eli Yishai told Israel radio that travel restrictions routinely slapped on Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza Strip in response to attacks damage the Palestinian economy and fuel anti- Israeli militancy.\n\nThe closures, imposed to prevent militants from infiltrating to carry out attacks against the Jewish state, keep tens of thousands of day laborers from jobs inside Israel, notably in the farming and construction sectors.\n\n\"There has never been a Palestinian with a license to work in Israel who has carried out a terror attack,\" Yishai said. \"We need to give them a living and not cause more and more unemployment,\"\n\n\"As the closure endures, it doesn't contribute to security and maybe even harms it,\" he said.\n\nAccording to Israeli press reports, Yishai's ministry began discussions Thursday on a plan to allow the continual flow of Palestinian laborers into Israel even during security clampdowns.\n\nThe plan would include deep security checks by Israeli and Palestinian intelligence agencies to pick those laborers eligible for Israeli work permits. The goal would be to grant at least 80,000 permits valid even during troubles, the Haaretz newspaper said.\n\nYishai's comments came as the United Nations issued a report saying that closures of the West Bank and Gaza Strip had cost the Palestinian economy more than six billion dollars since 1992.\n\nThe UN study found that the gross national product (GNP) for the West Bank and Gaza Strip fell 8.6 percent during 1996, when the territories were sealed almost continually following a spate of Islamic suicide bombings in Israel.\n\nIsrael started the practice of closing the territories in response to unrest in 1993 under the leftwing Labor party. The damages caused by the closures include lost wages for day laborers, lost trade revenues and uncollected taxes.\n\nThe number of Palestinians authorized to work in Israel hit a peak of 139,200 in 1992, falling to zero for much of 1996.\n\nSince the latest closure imposed after a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv on March 21 which killed three Israelis, only three thousand Palestinians are currently authorized to work in Israeli-contolled industrial zones adjacent to the territories.\n\nDiscussion of ways to ensure a steady supply of Palestinian laborers coincides with efforts by Israel to wash its hands of foreign workers who cause the country more crime and social problems than Palestinian employees, who return home each night.\n\n\"The replacement of foreign workers with Palestinian workers is good for the peace process and the economy, and will prevent all the difficult social problems,\" labor ministry director general Yigal Ben- Shalom told Haaretz.\n\nCurrently, Israel employs about 100,000 foreign workers legally and about 70,000 illegally, in addition to the Palestinians.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "called", "start_char": 144,

African Unity\nsaid Friday it would investigate the Hutu-organized genocide of\nmore than 500,000 minority Tutsis in Rwanda nearly four years ago.\nForeign ministers of member-states meeting in the Ethiopian\ncapital agreed to set up a seven-member panel to investigate who\nshot down Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana's plane on April 6,\n1994.\nThe assassination touched off a murderous rampage by Hutu\nsecurity forces and civilians, who slaughtered mainly Tutsis but\nalso Hutus who favored reconciliation with the minority. It also\nreignited the civil war.\nThe panel also will look at the exodus of about 2 million Rwanda\nHutus to neighboring countries where they lived in U.N.-run refugee\ncamps for 2 1/2 years.\nThe investigation will consider the role of ``internal and\nexternal forces prior to the genocide and subsequently, and the\nrole of the United Nations and its agencies and the OAU before,\nduring and after the genocide,'' the OAU said.\nThe panel will be based in Addis Ababa, and will finish its\ninvestigation within a year, it said. It is to be funded by\nvoluntary contributions from within and outside the continent.\n(aa-kjd)\n\n(PROFILE\n(WS SL:BC-OAU-Rwanda;

forward.

It wasn't\n until\n twenty years after the first astronauts were chosen that NASA finally included\n six women, and they were all scientists, not pilots. No woman has actually\n been in charge of a mission until now.\n\n\n Just the fact that we 're doing the job that we 're doing makes us role\n models.\n\n\n That was Eileen Collins, after she flew as the first ever co-pilot. Being\n commander is different. It means supervising the rest of the crew in\n training and leading them in flight. It is, in short, the kind of\n management job many American women say they've had to fight for. In space,\n some say female pilots were held up until now by the lack of piloting\n opportunities for them in the military.\n\n\n Once Colonel Collins was picked as a NASA astronaut, she followed a\n normal progression within NASA. Nobody hurried her up. No one held her\n back.\n\n\n Many NASA watchers say female astronauts have become part of the agency's\n routine.

"AFP_ENG_19970405.0096\n\nANKARA, April 5 , 1997 (AFP)\n\nDeath of rightwinger to affect Turkish politics by Umit Enginsoy\n\n\n\n\nThe death of veteran ultranationalist opposition leader Alpaslan Turkes will shake up right-wing politics in Turkey, as his party is likely to disintegrate with his demise, political analysts said Saturday.\n\nTurkes, leader of the Nationalist Action Party, a small but influential political group, died here on early Saturday after a heart attack. He was 80.\n\nHis party failed to win a single seat in parliament in Turkey's December 1995 general election, as it received only 8.5 percent of the vote, which was short of the required 10 percent national threshold.\n\nTurkes was expected to be replaced by his son, Tugrul, as party chief, according to political analysts.\n\nHowever, The Istanbul-based liberal daily Hurriyet said Nationalist Action was unlikely to survive without the veteran politician, who was seen by his followers as the \"great leader of the Turkish world.\"\n\nIn the likely event of the party's disintegration, its potential votes could be shared by the pro-Islamic Welfare Party of Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan, the conservative True Path Party of Foreign Minister Tansu Ciller, the conservative Motherland Party and the ultra-rightwing Grand Unity Party, it said.\n\n\"Turkes had a very important role in Turkey's political life, I deeply regret his demise,\" President Suleyman Demirel said in a statement.\n\n\"Turkes was one the great political leaders in Turkey's recent history, we had been involved in close cooperation,\" Ciller told reporters.\n\nTurkes was born in Nicosia, Cyprus, in 1917 and graduated from the Military Academy in 1938, joining the army.\n\nInvolved in ultranationalist movements since the early 1940s, Turkes was one of the senior organisers of a military coup in 1960, which eventually led to the hanging of toppled conservative prime minister Adnan Menderes.\n\nTurkes was twice deputy prime minister in right-wing coalition governments between 1975 and 1978.\n\nHe was imprisoned and barred from active politics after another military coup in 1980, but regained his political rights in a 1987 referendum.\n\nHis Nationalist Action supported a centrist coalition between True Path and the left-wing Republican People's Party between 1991 and 1995.\n\nFollowing the collapse of the former Soviet Union in 1991, Turkes supported the creation of a union of Turkic countries with the participation of Turkey and the mainly Moslem former Soviet republics of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.\n\nTurkes was also the virtual leader of the ultranationalist Grey Wolves organisation, whose members were involved in bloody fighting with extreme leftist groups in the late 1970s, prompting the 1980 military coup.\n\nMarried with seven children, Turkes was the author of several books promoting Turkish nationalism.\n\nSupporting modern Turkey's pro-secular tradition, Turkes in recent months had criticised efforts by Erbakan's ruling Welfare to introduce Islamic practices in social life.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "death", "start_char": 126, "end_char": 131, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1",

(Xinhua)\n\nUN Security Council welcomes peace efforts in northern Uganda\n\n\n\n\nThe UN Security Council adopted a presidential statement Thursday that welcomed peace efforts between the Ugandan government and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) with an aim to end the long-running conflict in northern Uganda.\n\nThe statement called for peace and security to be restored and the rule of law re-established in the areas affected by the fighting and that \"those responsible for serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law are brought to justice.\"\n\nIt welcomed the ongoing peace talks between the Ugandan government and the LRA, which have fought a brutal civil war for 20 years, urging the rebel group to immediately release all women, children and other non-combatants that it holds.\n\nIn the statement read out by council President Jorge Voto- Bernales of Peru, the council also welcomed the renewal early this month of the cessation of hostilities agreement struck between the two sides in August and pledged to continue to monitor developments closely.\n\nCouncil members praised the Ugandan government for setting up a committee to monitor efforts to relieve humanitarian problems in northern Uganda and also its work so far on a peace, recovery and development plan that aims to tackle longer-term issues.\n\nThe council \"looks forward to further progress on improving the living conditions for civilians in northern Uganda, measurable against clear benchmarks, and urges member states to maintain their support to these efforts.\"\n\nTalks are taking place in Juba, southern Sudan, between the government of Uganda and the LRA, in a bid to reach a comprehensive peace agreement to end a conflict that has caused the death, abduction or forced displacement of 2 million people across northern Uganda and southern Sudan - as well as the killings of eight UN peacekeepers in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the

2005\n\nDeadly bacteria spreading through US hospitals\n\n\n\n\nA lethal bacteria which surfaces in people being treated with antibiotics is spreading in North America and has grown resistant to drugs, according to two studies published Friday in the New England Journal of Medicine.\n\nAccording to one of the studies, a new, virulent and resistant strain of the bacteria Clostridium difficile broke out in eight US hospital centers between 2000 and 2003.\n\nProvoked by antibiotics inside the intestines of hospital patients, the bacteria showed an ability to mutate and increase its resistance to drugs, the report said.\n\nMoreover, the bacteria, which infects the colon causing severe diarrhea and colitis, a severe inflammation of the intestine, has begun showing up in patients not taking antibiotics or visiting hospitals.\n\nSymptoms include watery, malodorous diarrhea and cramps.\n\nA second study of 1,703 patients in 12 hospitals in Quebec, Canada, demonstrated the lethality of the bacteria.\n\nOver 13 years the incidence of the bacteria grew fourfold in Quebec, and in 2004 it caused the deaths of 117 people in the first month after they were diagnosed. All of the victims were elderly.\n\n\"Hospitals need to be conducting surveillance and implementing control measures. And all of us need to realize the risk of antibiotic use may be increasing,\" warned epidemiologist Clifford McDonald of the US Centers for Disiease Control.\n\nScientists were concerned that Clostridium difficile -- so-named because of the difficulty in detecting it -- had become very resistant to fluoroquinolone antibiotics usually used to treat such infections.\n\n\"If this epidemic strain continues to spread (...) it will be important either to reconsider the use of fluoroquinolones or to develop other innovative measures for controlling C. difficile-associated disease,\" said

Mabizela and Josta Dladla as well as Golden Arrows' Japhet Zwane who came home with the hope of reviving their international careers.\n\nOutgoing Bafana Bafana coach, Pitso Mosiamne, said South

said, speaking after a Knesset (parliament) vote on a package nomination of three cabinet ministers late on Monday, when Sharon was defeated by the opposition \"rebels\" of his own party.\n\nHe hinted the possibility that Sharon will move for early elections, which was currently scheduled in November 2006.\n\nIn a stinging but not unexpected parliamentary defeat, the anti- disengagement Likud lawmakers, dubbed the \"rebel\" faction, first voted with 60-54 to reject Sharon's proposed appointment of Ehud Olmert as finance minister, Roni Bar-On as industry, trade and employment minister and Ze'ev Boim as immigrant absorption minister.\n\nSharon was then forced to go to a second vote to win the approval of Olmert and Matan Vilnai (Labor) as science and technology minister, which was passed by a comfortable 71-41 margin.\n\nAnalysts said the Knesset vote on Monday showed that the rebels, who can count on eight votes in the 40-strong Likud faction and have at times commanded as many as 16, now hold an effective veto power over Sharon's parliamentary moves.\n\nThere are speculations that Sharon would either move soon to dissolve the Knesset and lead the Likud into early elections, or work to found a new party with himself at the helm.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "said", "start_char": 154, "end_char": 158, "eid": "e1", "eiid": "ei1",

Monday on how to coerce Iran into halting its nuclear fuel work as Moscow welcomed changes to a European resolution mandating sanctions against Tehran.\n\nIranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad meanwhile warned that his country would respond to any action against its nuclear activities amid growing signs that the Security Council's five permanent members were edging closer to a deal on a revised draft drawn up by France, Britain and Germany.\n\nAmbassadors of Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States -- the council's five veto-wielding members -- plus Germany huddled informally Monday to review the text which had been discussed in Paris last week by more senior officials of the six.\n\nFrance's UN Ambassador Jean-Marc de La Sabliere told reporters that he would explain the amended draft to the council's 15 members at a formal meeting later Monday.\n\n\"I am going to present the text to the members of the council,\" he said. \"I hope that we have good prospects. I have some signals but it is too early to say.\"\n\n\"We want a vote before the end of the year, (preferably) before Christmas,\" said a Western diplomat who spoke on condition of anonymity.\n\nHe added that the sponsors were pushing for unanimous support from the council but also cautioned that \"unanimity has a price (which) we are ready to pay up to a point.\"\n\nThe text, a copy of which was obtained by AFP, would mandate a ban on trade with Iran on goods related to its nuclear and ballistic missile programs and impose financial and travel restrictions on persons and entities involved.\n\nDespite Russian objections, it includes a list of a dozen Iranian officials directly involved in their country's nuclear and ballistic programs who would be targeted for UN sanctions.\n\nThe list includes officials associated with the Natanz nuclear fuel processing facility and with the heavy-water reactor Iran is building in Arak as well as Iran's Revolutionary Guards chief General Yahya Rahim Safavi.\n\nBut at Moscow's insistence, the new draft drops all references to Iran's first nuclear power station, a one-billion-dollar facility which Russia is helping to build in Bushehr.\n\nEarlier Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov welcomed the latest European draft, noting that it \"differs from the version worked out originally and contains changes based on Russia's proposals, which take into account the need to push Iran to sit at the negotiating table.\"\n\nLavrov stressed that the proposed resolution would have no effect on Russia's lucrative contract to build the Bushehr plant.\n\nThe changes were introduced by the European sponsors to win over Russia and China, which have close economic ties with Tehran and have consistently opposed what they describe as overly aggressive measures against Iran.\n\nThe United States has been pushing for tougher sanctions against the Islamic Republic.\n\nBut the European draft does not include a US demand for an explicit characterization of the Iranian nuclear program as \"a threat to international peace and security\".\n\nIt asks the head of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to submit a report within 60 days on whether Iran has fully complied with the demands.\n\nIt says implementation of the sanctions would be suspended if Iran halts uranium enrichment but warns that failure to heed the UN demands would lead to \"further appropriate measures\", a reference to economic sanctions.\n\nTehran has consistently rejected UN demands that it halt uranium enrichment, a process which can provide fuel for nuclear reactors but, also in highly refined form, material for the core of a nuclear bomb.\n\nThe West claims Iran is running a secret nuclear military program parallel to its civilian one, an allegation strongly denied by Tehran which says its nuclear ambitions are entirely peaceful and aimed at producing electricity.", "time_expressions": null,

(Xinhua)\n\nexpert\n\n\n\n\nChina still faces challenges despite the fact that its development mode of education has provided a pioneering experience for the world education sector, said David Archer, head of the international education of the Action Aid, a well-known Britain-based non-government organization.\n\nAt the concluding 5th High Level Group Meeting on Education For All of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) here Wednesday, Archer told Xinhua that China gives priority to the educational sector in national development, and the government has made a commitment to education far exceeding many other countries in the world.\n\nStatistics showed that in 2004, about 94 percent of Chinese have had access to free nine-year compulsory education. The adult illiteracy rate lowered to four percent. 98.9 percent of girls attended school courses.\n\nArcher said that while China has adequate resources to ensure a nine-year compulsory education, it still needs to take more concrete measures to make compulsory education entirely free. Low-paid substitute teachers in many countries - including China - will bring great damage to the long-term development of the education cause.\n\nAccording to Archer, few government or international agencies have invested in adult literacy, but focusing only in compulsory education. UNESCO statistics showed that nearly one billion people around the world do not know how to read and write, and the actual figure is estimated to double soon. Among them two thirds are women and almost one fifth are people aged from 15 to 24.\n\nAn investigation by Action Aid showed young adult literacy and compulsory education are closely linked to both the national economy.\n\n\"If a child's parents are illiterate, the child will struggle for schooling with his parents lack of respect for education, even if he is provided with free education,\" said Archer.\n\nAfter making an investigation of literacy work in 35 countries, Archer found that most teachers in adult literacy work got low payment or just did it voluntarily. Illiterate young adult only receive training programs of six months to one year, which provides them with no practical skills to make a living.\n\nAction Aid carried out programs in vast rural areas in different countries to help local illiterate young adults compile teaching materials by themselves with charts and pictures that can be easily understood. The teaching materials tell farmers how to grow crop and how to utilize local resources with languages and words familiar to farmers. Based on these teaching materials, Archer and his colleagues also complied a set of guidelines for literacy work, which scored a prize by the United Nations.\n\nArcher said Action Aid hopes to join hands with the Chinese government and non-government organizations to promote the guidelines in China, and compile teaching material pinpointing China's domestic situation.\n\nHe pointed out that another challenge faced by China is issue of quality education. At present, most countries in the world still adopt a test-oriented educational mode, which does not comply with the economic developing trend.\n\nThe future society needs innovative talent adaptive to changes, capable of solving problems, and that knows how to learn efficiently. To cultivate such type of personnel, China should train a high-quality and professional teaching staff.\n\nHe stressed that 180 countries in the world promised to decrease the number of the illiterate by 50 percent in 2015.\n\nAction Aid was founded in 1972 and now cooperates with more than 2,000 non-government organizations in over 40 countries. Since 1998, Action Aid has carried out rural education and anti-AIDS programs in four provinces and regions in China.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "faces", "start_char":

Pollution Worsens in China, Solutions Succumb to Infighting\n\n\n\nChina's state leadership transition has taken place this month against an ominous backdrop. More than 16,000 dead pigs have been found floating in rivers that provide drinking water to Shanghai. A haze akin to volcanic fumes cloaked the capital, causing convulsive coughing and obscuring the portrait of Mao Zedong on the gate to the Forbidden City.\n\nSo severe are China's environmental woes, especially the noxious air, that top government officials have been forced to openly acknowledge them. Fu Ying, the spokeswoman for the National People's Congress, said she checked for smog every morning after opening her curtains and kept at home face masks for her daughter and herself. Li Keqiang, the new prime minister, said the air pollution had made him \"quite upset\" and vowed to \"show even greater resolve and make more vigorous efforts\" to clean it up.\n\nLast month, after deadly air pollution hit record levels in northern China, officials led byWen Jiabao, then the prime minister, put forward strict new fuel standards that the oil companies had blocked for years. But there are doubts about whether the oil companies will comply, especially since oil officials resisted a similar government order for higher-grade fuel four years ago. State-owned power companies have been similarly resistant. The companies regularly ignore government orders to upgrade coal-burning electricity plants, according to ministry data. And as with the oil companies, the power companies exert an outsize influence over environmental policy debates.\n\nIn 2011, during a round of discussions over stricter emissions standards, the China Electricity Council, which represents the companies, pushed back hard against the proposals, saying that the costs of upgrading the plants would be too high.\n\nOn Feb. 28, Deutsche Bank released an analysts' note saying that China's current economic policies would result in an enormous surge in coal consumption and automobile sales over the next decade. \"China's air pollution will become a lot worse from the already unbearable level,\" the analysts said, calling for drastic policy changes and \"a strong government will to overcome the opposition from interest groups.\"\n\nThe report estimated that the number of passenger cars in China was on track to hit 400 million by 2030, up from 90 million now.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "transition",

Argentina, Nov. 2 , 2005 (Xinhua)\n\nDeclaration of American summit to include development, employment\n\n\n\n\nEconomic growth and the creation of jobs are to be included in the final declaration of the 4th Summit of the Americas to be held in Argentina on Nov. 4 and 5.\n\nCoordinators of the summit said the declaration, to be signed by heads of state and government at the end of the summit, is almost ready. Leaders of the Western Hemisphere or their representatives, except Cuba, are to take part, organizers said.\n\nPreparatory meetings for the summit were held earlier this week. The president of the meetings, Argentine Vice Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana, said the creation of jobs and strengthening of democratic governance are major topics of the summit initiated by Argentina.\n\nAccording to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean based in Santiago, Chile, poverty affects nearly 40 percent of the 500 million people in the region.\n\nSecretary General of the Organization of American States Jose Miguel Insulza, who will participate in the summit, said, \"There are too many poor in Latin America in spite of economic growth in the region.\"\n\nIt is necessary for governments and business circles in Latin America to step up efforts to increase economic growth and improve the situation of the poor, he said.\n\nCoordinators of the summit did not say whether there will be any mention of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) in the final declaration.\n\nUS President George W. Bush claimed that continental free trade through the FTAA will reduce poverty in Latin America and drive growth and employment.\n\nHowever, Brazil and Argentina, both major food exporters in Latin America, said they were reluctant to join the FTAA as long as the United States does not eliminate agricultural subsidies.\n\nThey complained that Washington's agricultural subsidies would eliminate the competitiveness of farm products from other American countries and increase poverty in Latin America.\n\nVenezuela opposes the FTAA due to its political differences with Washington.",

Crosson\n\n\n\n\nDo you know why dinosaurs became meat eaters? After Adam and Eve sinned and were banished from the Garden of Eden, even grass-eating dinosaurs started killing other animals.\n\nTurning evolution on its ear, this is one of the theories being offered on the \"Biblically Correct\" tour at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.\n\nAnd never mind about the Earth being 4.5 billion years old or that dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago because the world is only 6,000 years old.\n\n\"Evolution is nothing more than a philosophy,\" Rusty Carter tells an audience of about 25 children from a private Christian school on his guided tour at the museum.\n\nCarter, who has a degree in biblical studies from Colorado Christian University and earns his living doing floor maintenance, cheerily challenges evolution as he leads students from one exhibit to another.\n\nThe museum and the scientific community in general do not endorse the information espoused by Carter, although he conducts his tours just like any other school group going through.\n\n\"We welcome everybody to the museum and I'm happy to see the kids being exposed to the science world,\" Kirk Johnson, chief curator at the museum, said. \"But I completely disagree with their message.\"\n\nCreationists take a literal approach to the origin of the Earth, meaning they believe God created the world in six 24-hour days.\n\nThe 6,000-year figure, first calculated by a 17th century Irish Anglican bishop, James Ussher, adds up the life spans of patriarchs listed in the book of Genesis, starting with Adam and Eve.\n\nIt is a theory not supported by most mainstream Christian churches.\n\nCanadian-born George McCready Price, who had links to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, promoted the short history of the Earth in the 1920s.\n\nHe wrote that the Earth is only 6,000 years old and the deluge described in the bible happened about 4,000 years ago.\n\n\"History and current beliefs change over time with education and enlightenment,\" John Banks, spokesman for the 14.2 million-member church, said.\n\nCarter goes for the drama. Hitler believed in evolution, he tells the students, but is careful to emphasize he does not mean people who believe in evolution are racists.\n\nFor a little hometown shock he calls Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, two Colorado teenagers who killed 13 people at Columbine High School before killing themselves, evolutionists.\n\n\"Creationism values each person,\" Carter says before ending the tour with a prayer.\n\nThe bible-oriented tour has been a fixture at the museum for 15 years, but is getting more attention thanks to the renewed American debate over evolution.\n\nIn 1925, the Scopes Monkey trial challenged the theory of evolution put forth by Charles Darwin in \"The Origin of Species\" written in 1859.\n\nAlthough John Scopes was ordered to pay a fine for teaching evolution, the case put creationism under the microscope and found it wanting. After the trial, anti-evolution thinking suffered a setback.\n\nHowever, not forever. The attack on evolution has been growing in recent decades and the Kansas State Board of Education has ordered teachers to discuss intelligent design -- a belief the universe is so complicated a supreme being must have planned it -- along with evolution.\n\nEven US President George Bush has advocated teaching \"both sides\" of the issue.\n\n\"I'm not against evolution in the museum, I just wish creationism were also here,\" Carter tells students at the museum as he stands in front of a depiction of an archaeopteryx, whose fossil is believed by scientists to be a link between birds and dinosaurs.\n\n\"There are a zillion viewpoints out there,\" said Johnson, who has advanced degrees in paleontology and geology.\n\nCarter has no room for theistic evolution, a belief held by most Christian churches, including the Catholic Church -- that God created the universe and then allowed evolution to proceed through billions of years.\n\nThroughout the tour, Carter challenges fossil records and carbon dating.\n\nHe urges the students from the Truth Christian Academy, a private religious school, to always ask how does one know if something is true.\n\n\"That's a great question,\" the museum's Johnson said. \"But the problem is they're teaching them how not to think.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "know", "start_char": 85, "end_char": 89, "eid":

said in a press release.\n\nEgyptian Minister of Trade and Industry Rachid Mohamed Rachid, who signed the deal with Kazakhstan, said the agreement was the first of its kind between the two

Mubarak to the central Asian country.\n\nHe said that in return, Kazakhstan would import a number of products, such as medicine, textiles, carpets and furniture, from Egypt.\n\nAccording to Rachid, Egypt and Kazakhstan have recently approved forming a joint trade committee under the two countries' trade ministers to boost trade exchange and remove obstacles hindering bilateral cooperation.\n\nThe minister predicted that trade volume between the two nations could reach 170 million dollars annually under the work of the committee.\n\nMubarak visited Kazakhstan on Nov. 7 as

loyal to a former Bangladesh military ruler went on the rampage Thursday and paralysed two northern cities after a court verdict cost him his election hopes, police said.\n\nBangladesh's supreme court on Tuesday rejected a plea by Hussain Mohammad Ershad seeking overturn of a two-year jail sentence given by lower court three years ago for squandering government funds.\n\nThe verdict ruled out a return to politics for Ershad, as the election commission barred him from contesting in any of the five constituencies he hoped to stand in at the January 22 polls.\n\nPolice said supporters of the former dictator chanted \"no Ershad, no elections\", smashed cars and vans, and ransacked shops in the northern city of Rangpur.\n\nThe area is a bastion of support for Ershad, who ruled the country between 1982 and 1990.\n\n\"Police dispersed about 1,000 supporters of Ershad's Jatiya Party after they went unruly, smashing chairs at a government office, cars and ransacking shops,\" police sub-inspector Mohammad Solaiman said.\n\nHundreds of soldiers and armed police were deployed to quell the violence, he added.\n\nThe city of more than 200,000 was at a standstill after the Jatiya Party called a strike in protest at Ershad's disqualification. Offices were closed, schools and roads were empty.\n\nJatiya Party supporters also disurpted inter-district buses and trains and also enfored a strike in five other neighbouring district towns, police said.\n\nThe northeastern city of Sylhet was also brought to a halt after Ershad's supporters held rallies and marches to protest the decision, police official Shahidul Islam said.\n\nErshad, who leads the country's third biggest party, is a popular figure in Bangladesh and is seen as a potential kingmaker in the elections. He seized power in a bloodless coup in March 1982 but was ousted by a people's revolt in 1990.\n\nLast week he joined an electoral alliance with the main opposition Awami League party.\n\nBangladeshi law bars any convict from contesting parliamentary elections for five years after completion of a sentence.\n\nErshad told reporters late Wednesday that his party and its allies, including the main opposition Awami League, may again decide to boycott next month's polls if he is barred from contesting elections.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "went", "start_char": 189,

1997 (AFP)\n\nLast day of uncertainty for Eastern Slavonia Serbs before key poll by Sonia Bakaric\n\n\n\n\nEastern Slavonia, the only part of Croatia still in Serb hands, lived through a last day of uncertainty Saturday before a nationwide vote for local councils and Croatia's upper house Sunday, with the turnout seen likely to decide their future.\n\nThe vote will be the first in which they can express their wishes at the ballot box since the region was captured by rebel Serbs in 1991 during a war in which the rebels captured almost one third of the country.\n\nCroatian government troops retook all the land they held except Eastern Slavonia in 1995 and the elections will be a major step before their last stronghold is turned over to Zagreb.\n\nWithin the region, the polls are being organised by the UN administration which has run Eastern Slavonia since January last year.\n\nSerbs have expressed fears about reprisals for their role in the war and over the expected return of tens of thousands of Croat refugees who were \"ethnically cleansed\" in 1991.\n\nThe Serbs only lifted their threat of a boycott Friday after heavy international pressure and the intervention of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, a longtime supporter of the rebels.\n\nIn a last-minute attempt to get people to vote, the Independent Democratic Serb Party (SDSS), led by Vojislav Stanimirovic, launched into what seemed more like a mobilisation rather than a real political campaign.\n\n\"Everything is going too quickly for us but we must all vote if we are to stay here because we have no other place to go to,\" said Milena, a young Serb refugee.\n\nShe was originally from the Croatian town of Glina, south of Zagreb, which the Croatian army retook from the rebels in 1995.\n\nThe Serbs are being urged to go to the polls to counteract the vote of about 70,000 Croat refugees now living in other regions of the country and many of them eager to return.\n\nRealising that every Serb vote will count, the media in Eastern Slavonia spent Saturday urging people to go to the polls, even if they had already decided that they did not want to stay under Croatian rule.\n\n\"If you have decided to leave, then leave but vote beforehand and give your vote to assure the future of the young,\" read one of the slogans.\n\nInternational officials have expressed fears that up to 20,000 Serbs could go.\n\nThe hesitation shown by their leadership has contributed to the Serbs' confusion, who feel betrayed by Milosevic, the architect of the dream of a \"Greater Serbia\" -- a state where all Serbs would live.\n\nLast Sunday, the Serbs voted in a referendum in which they overwhelmingly called for their territory to be one unit, in defiance of the Croat electoral boundaries which split the region.\n\nEven before the referendum, their demand had been turned down by Zagreb, Belgrade and the international community.\n\nThe same voters will now have to vote to return their territory to Croatian rule.\n\n\"I am sorry the decision to take part in the elections was taken so late. The elections are nonetheless an experiment on the 150,000 people in a region where war raged for five years,\" Stanimirovic said Friday.\n\nSerb officials are still arguing about irregularities in the voting registers but the UN administration has said that the conditions are right for free and fair elections.\n\nOn Saturday fierce winds tore at the few electoral posters of the Independent Democratic Serb Party in this desolate and abandoned town, Eastern Slavonia's largest, which was flattened during a bitter three- month siege by the rebels.", "time_expressions": null,

here Wednesday.\n\nIn five years time, annual growth will hit 100 billion U.S. dollars, Minister of State for Trade and Industry Lee Yi Shyan said at this year's franchising and licensing award.\n\nAccording to Lee, the rapid growth is underpinned by the large and relatively undeveloped franchise markets in the region. For instance, the Chinese and Indian markets grow by 40 percent each year compared with 5 percent of the U.S. market.\n\nIn Singapore's side, the sales turnover of Singapore-based franchises already exceeds 15 percent of the total domestic retail sales volume, Lee said.\n\nHe expected this number to continue growing, as he saw more homegrown franchises emerge.\n\nAnd he pointed out that the

Narayan Swamy\n\n\n\n\nA centre-left Indian coalition, toppled a week ago, vowed Friday to return to power by Monday after making up with an estranged ally.\n\nThe United Front coalition said it hoped to give a new government to the country after electing a successor to caretaker Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda late Friday or early Saturday.\n\n\"The formation of a new government is entirely likely before parliament resumes its session\" on Monday, Front spokesman Jaipal Reddy told reporters at the coalition headquarters here.\n\nThere was no immediate reaction from the office of Indian President Shankar Dayal Sharma, who Thursday urged the country's major parties to end the dragging political crisis by April 21.\n\nThe decks for a new Front leader were cleared Friday after the Congress (I) party, which voted out the coalition government April 11, formally pledged support to the same alliance minus Deve Gowda, who promptly agreed to the new arrangement.\n\nThe Congress made the promise to the president as the 13-party United Front intensified its search for a new head to become the country's next -- and 12th -- prime minister.\n\nCongress chief Sitaram Kesri said in a letter to President Sharma that his party \"resolved to extend support to the formation of a government by a new leader of the United Front.\"\n\nThe Congress action removed the last hitch in its attempt to again tie up with the Front and signalled the end of a political paralysis which gripped India at the end of last month.\n\nReddy said the new United Front government would have better relations with the Congress to avoid another divorce but ruled out the possibility of a coalition with the Congress.\n\n\"The question of coalition never arose and does not arise,\" he said.\n\nThe Front's previous minority government fell after the Congress alleged it was not consulted on major decisions.\n\nThe Congress began the crisis, ending 10 months of support to the Front coalition on March 30, and then made a bid to form its own administration. It later backed down after failing to woo support in India's hung lower house of parliament for a rival coalition.\n\nSome Front leaders had suspected the Congress, who said its renewed support was conditional on the 64-year-old Deve Gowda's exit, might harbour secret ambitions of taking power. Kesri removed the doubts Friday.\n\nThe United Front's only remaining problem now is to find a consensus candidate suitable to all its centrist, leftist and regional parties. Front leaders said a search was on.\n\n\"Informal consultations are going on,\" said Doraiswamy Raja, a communist leader.\n\nThe new prime minister is widely expected to be G.K. Moopanar, a Tamil politician from the country's south. Others reportedly in the race include External Affairs Minister Inder Kumar Gujral.\n\nThe coming together of the Front and Congress is being attributed to their mutual fear of new elections, which they argue would favour the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP, Indian People's Party).\n\nBoth accuse the resurgent nationalists, who have been successful in a series of recent state polls, of religious bigotry.\n\nThe BJP said Friday another Front government was not the answer to the present crisis.\n\n\"The best solution is fresh election,\" BJP Vice President Krishan Lal Sharma told AFP. \"No cosmetic change will be able to sort out the mess that has been created by the Congress and United Front.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "toppled",

earlier, the official said.\n\nMinistries will have to submit final spending plans to the cabinet for reconsideration on May 21, he said.\n\nTransport and Communications Minister Suwat Lippatapallop said his ministry had been given a 1998 budget of 100 billion baht, up 25 percent from the current fiscal year.\n\nThe ministry is responsible for the Highways Department and several telecommunications projects.\n\nBudget Bureau director Seree Sukstaporn said earlier that stable inflation was forecast at around five percent in 1998, while the country's gross domestic product was expected to rise 6.7 to 6.8 percent to around five trillion baht.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "approved", "start_char": 152, "end_char": 160, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

Thursday to appoint a top Republican lawyer as head of an expanded investigation into Senator Mary Landrieu's narrow victory last November.\n\nLandrieu won by a mere 5,788 votes over Republican rival

week, two lawyers hired by the committee -- one Republican, one Democrat -- said they wanted to look into three charges relating to voter fraud before making a recommendation on a full-scale investigation.\n\nHowever, the nine-member committee bypassed their appeals and agreed to a probe headed by Republican heavyweight Richard Cullen, who is set to become the attorney general of the

the pressure of UN attack helicopters and ground forces.

The FARDC formed its defense at Kazingani, a few kilometers to the east of Sake, after abandoning the town on Sunday. The fighting has killed eight people.\n\nThe MONUC said blue helmets were tightening patrol around Goma to ensure the situation remained stable and citizens were safe. It was trying its utmost to prevent the flare-up from approaching the city.\n\nIn June 2004, Nkunda, a disgraced Tutsi general of the FARDC, led his soldiers in rebellion against President Joseph Kabila.

rival\n\n\n\n\nSegolene Royal's chances of becoming France's first woman president improved Sunday when a left-wing rival struck a deal with her to give up his own bid for head of state.\n\nJean-Pierre Chevenement, a former interior minister, told his eurosceptic Republican and Citizens' Movement (MRC) party that he was withdrawing his announced presidential candidacy.\n\nHe made the announcement under an agreement with Royal's Socialist Party which would see MRC candidates supported by the Socialists in 10 electorates, according to a copy obtained by AFP.\n\n\"Nobody was forcing me to be a candidate. Nobody forced me to withdraw my candidacy,\" Chevenement said.\n\n\"I do so of my own will to open the way for a positive outcome in the first round\" of the presidential elections, he said.\n\nDivisions on the left that dissipated voters' ballots resulted in the Socialist candidate in the 2002 presidential elections, then prime minister Lionel Jospin, being defeated by far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen.\n\nIncumbent conservative President Jacques Chirac then went on to be re-elected by a landslide, backed by thousands of disenfranchised Socialist voters ferociously opposed to Le Pen.\n\nDelegates from Chevenement's party on Sunday voted to back Royal in the next elections due in April and May.\n\nA high-ranking party member, Patrick Trannoy, said the agreement struck allowed the two movements \"to define a legislative programme that will constitute a lasting alternative to the right's policies.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

Blanchett led a group of Australian celebrities in a Sydney beach ceremony Friday to appeal for calm after race riots this week.\n\nThe Oscar-winning Australian actress turned out at upmarket Coogee Beach with other actors and musicians to urge racial tolerance after mobs of whites attacked Arab-Australians on a beach last Sunday.\n\n\"It's actually very clear and simple,\" said Blanchett, dressed casually in a sun-hat, jacket and designer jeans in front of a banner calling for a \"wave of tolerance\" to sweep Australia.\n\n\"Violence and racism are bad. Whenever they occur they are to be condemned (and) we should not turn a blind eye to them.\n\n\"It's about respect. Respect for others, respect for the rights of others and respect of the rights of everyone to go about their lives in a peaceful way.\"\n\nThe group with Blanchett, who won best supporting actress Oscar for her portrayal of Katharine Hepburn in the 2004 film The Aviator with Leonardo DiCaprio, included former Midnight Oil rock star turned politician Peter Garrett.\n\nGarrett, now a member of parliament for the opposition Labor Party, said the group was delivering a message about \"the unacceptability of violence (and) the necessity for us to embrace respect and tolerance\".\n\nThe appeal was sparked by fears that new clashes could erupt on Sydney beaches this weekend.\n\nDozens of people were injured and arrested in the violence, in which white mobs set out to \"reclaim the beach\" from groups of Lebanese-Australians accused of intimidating other beachgoers with boorish behaviour at weekends.\n\nGroups of mainly ethnic-Lebanese men then launched a wave of revenge attacks, and thousands of police will patrol trouble spots this weekend in an attempt to prevent a repeat performance.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "led", "start_char": 94,

Africa to publish new AIDS-combating strategy\n\n\n\n\nThe South African government is expected to announce a newly-revised AIDS-combating strategy this week with intensified prevention and treatment measures, a long-waited boost to the country's arduous fight against the world's most serious AIDS epidemic.\n\nSouth African Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang said on Wednesday that a revised Strategic Plan for HIV/AIDS for the 2007- 2011 period would be announced on the World AIDS Day, which falls on Friday, at a national commemorative event in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga Province.\n\nThe plan \"will guide the country's response to HIV/AIDS in a manner that ensures continuity of the current strategies while introducing additional interventions required to keep up with recent advances in knowledge,\" Tshabalala-Msimang said in a statement.\n\nSouth African Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, who also chairs the South African National AIDS Council (SANAC), would elaborate the plan, said Tshabalala-Msimang, who, however, said she would not attend the event.\n\nA South African newspaper revealed the plan two weeks ago, whose aims include halving the HIV-infection rate in the next five years while providing treatment to 750,000 patients.\n\nThe new plan spells out 30 goals under four priority areas -- preventing new infections; providing treatment, care and support to people infected with HIV; improving HIV research, and implementing a monitoring and evaluation framework for the plan's targets; and ensuring that the rights of people infected with HIV are protected, according to national newspaper Business Day.\n\nMore than 5.5 million South Africans, or 12 percent of the population, are infected with HIV. The United Nations said this number is the second largest in the world, only after India.\n\nThe plan, if published, comes amid signs of a dramatic rethink in government circles about a comprehensive approach to the pandemic.\n\nIt coincides with a new drive led by Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka as the head of the SANAC to reverse negative international perceptions of South Africa's AIDS-fighting efforts.\n\nPretoria has long been under domestic and international pressures, blamed of lacking firm and clear leadership to tackle with the epidemic.\n\nThe draft plan is a marked departure from the government's 2000-2005 plan, which has been widely criticized for its failure to include clear targets and a monitoring and evaluation framework.\n\nHowever, the health minister defended that the government has achieved remarkable progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS.\n\n\"We are keeping our promise as the South African Department of Health to increasing access to HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services,\" she said on Wednesday.\n\nMore than 1.7 million people have used the voluntary counseling and testing services available in 4,172 clinics in the last financial year, she said, adding that more than 380 million condoms are being distributed annually.\n\nServices to reduce the risk of mother to child transmission of HIV are available in all hospitals and 86 percent of clinics,\n\nA total of 213,828 adults and children have been put on the government-paid Antiretroviral treatment (ART) program by end of September 2006, with an average of 11,000 patients joining the ART program every month, the minister said.\n\nBut the Southern African HIV Clinicians Society estimated that the number was only about a fifth of the HIV patients in need of life-prolonging antiretroviral medicines.\n\nHealth Minister Tshabalala-Msimang becomes highly controversial in recent two years, partly because she adamantly promoted a diet of beetroot, lemons and garlic as an alternative treatment of AIDS, causing confusion over what is effective AIDS treatment.\n\nIn past months international and domestic AIDS campaigners have repeatedly demanded Tshabalala-Msimang to resign. President Thabo Mbeki's decision to make his deputy president the head of SANAC was also seen a move to marginalize the embattled health minister.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions":

check.\n\n\"We guessed it was a landslide and not a gas blast or flood because there was no water and no smell of gas in the shaft,\" a rescued miner called Wang told Xinhua.\n\nWang, the last miner to emerge from the blocked mine, is receiving treatment at Honggu District hospital in Lanzhou, where the coal mine is located.\n\n\"We were frightened at the beginning, but we soon calmed down

Nov. 3 , 2005 (Xinhua)\n\ncooperation\n\n\n\n\nChina is strengthening its efforts in combating climate change by participating actively in international projects, said an expert with the State Development and Reform Commission Thursday.\n\nJiang Kejun, a researcher with the Energy Research Institute of the commission, said at a conference on China and Climate Change that China regards such international cooperation frameworks as the Asia-Pacific Partnership for Clean Development and Climate (APCDC) as a good complementary to its participation in the Kyoto Protocol under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.\n\nChina, the United States, Australia, Japan, India and the Republic of Korea signed an APCDC agreement in July which emphasizes limiting greenhouse gas emission through technological cooperation without setting a quota for each member's emission reduction.\n\nAs a signatory country of the Kyoto Protocol, China has been thirsty for advanced technologies to improve its energy efficiency and reduce its greenhouse gas emission, said Jiang.\n\nAccording to him, China's current participation in the Kyoto Protocol is mainly in the Clean Development Mechanism, which allows developing countries to sell greenhouse gas emission quotas to developed countries.\n\nAs the top coal consumer of the world, China saw nearly 70 percent of its energy demand met by coal, emitting large a amount of pollutants such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.\n\nChina and the European Union signed a declaration in September on climate change that emphasizes technological cooperation in such fields as advanced, near-zero emissions coal technology through carbon capture and storage and clean coal.\n\nJiang said that by promoting international technological cooperation, China expects more cooperation under the framework of the Kyoto Protocol.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "strengthening", "start_char": 81,

the European Union is ready to play its role as a third party in supervising the crossing.\n\n\"The European role will not replace the Palestinian role,\" he added.\n\nRafah crossing is the only exit for Palestinians living in Gaza to travel abroad. The crossing has been shut down since Israel withdrew from Gaza in September.\n\nIsrael and the Palestinians have agreed to an Egypt-proposed plan to reopen the crossing under the EU supervision.\n\nHowever, Israel and the Palestinians are at odds over the role of the EU inspectors and whether to install monitors at the crossing.\n\nIsrael wants the EU to arrest any Palestinian suspected of smuggling arms through the crossing, while the EU wants its role to be confined to only monitoring and reporting.\n\nSolana started a visit to the Middle East on Nov. 11 aimed at underscoring the EU's political engagement in the region.\n\nSolana also held a meeting with visiting US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the two discussed ways to solve the disagreements

Arabia, insisting here Friday it was vital to protect Britain's national interests.\n\nBlair said the decision was crucial for Britain's relationship with Saudi Arabia, its interests in the Middle East and the counter-terrorism fight, not to mention the British jobs potentially at stake.\n\nBlair said he took \"full responsibility\" for his advice to Attorney General Lord Peter Goldsmith, who announced Thursday that the investigation into the Al-Yamamah BAE Systems deal from the 1980s was being stopped after two years.\n\nAnd Blair's official spokesman added that the prime minister made \"no apology\" for acting in what he saw as the national interest.\n\nThe Serious Fraud Office had been probing claims that defence giant BAE established a slush fund for some Saudi royals, which allegedly provided perks including luxury cars to keep them doing business with BAE.\n\n\"I think it's a very important issue for our country,\" Blair said on the sidelines of a summit of European leaders in Brussels.\n\n\"Leave aside the effect on thousands of British jobs and billions worth of pounds for British industry.\n\n\"Our relationship with Saudi Arabia is vitally important for our country in terms of counter-terrorism, in terms of the broader Middle East, in terms of helping in respect of Israel-Palestine.\n\n\"My role as prime minister is to advise on what is in the best national and strategic interest of our country and I've absolutely no doubt at all that the right decision was taken in this regard.\"\n\nBAE earlier this year agreed to a 10 billion-pound (14.8-billion-euro, 19.8-billion-dollar) deal with Saudi Arabia for 72 Eurofighter jets, and the deal was reportedly under threat due to the investigation.\n\nThe \"slush fund\" was allegedly linked to an estimated 50-billion-pound Al-Yamamah deal involving the supply and support of Tornado and Hawk jets as well as the contruction of an airbase.\n\nGoldsmith said it was unlikely that there would be a successful prosecution even after a further period of investigation, Blair's spokesman stressed.\n\n\"Saudi Arabia, given its position in the world, is a very important ally in the fight against terrorism,\" he added, saying that he was not aware of the issue being raised at the meeting of European leaders.\n\nBlair is about to leave for Turkey at the start of a wider tour to the Middle East, where international efforts to combat terrorism are bound to feature.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "defended", "start_char": 104, "end_char": 112, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

Sometimes, several festivals with the same theme are simultaneously held in a same place.\n\nTOO MANY FESTIVALS DEVALUATE FESTIVE JOY\n\nIn some places, the so-called Moon Cake Festival is held to replace the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, an occasion of family reunion, the Glutinous Rice Dumpling Festival to replace the Dragon Boat Festival and many other man-made festivals like the Mobile Phone Festival, Motorcycle Festival and Ornament Festival show up during traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival, or China's Lunar New Year, and the National Day Holiday period, the first week of October.\n\n\"The significance of festivals and the content of traditional culture are being devoured by the flood of man-made festivals which are empty, dull and identical,\" said Jiang Shouhuo, an expert of folk-customs.\n\nTraditional festivals originate from centuries-old history and beautiful legends, Jiang said, adding that history and culture are the main factors that attract the general public and prolong the life of traditional festivals.\n\nLike the dragon boat racing, which originated in China, dating back to about 2, 300 years ago, Jiang said. The tradition is based on a legend that disillusioned poet Qu Yuan jumped into the Miluo River to demonstrate his will to serve the country. People raced to the site in boats to search for him. They made loud sounds to scare away fish and dropped glutinous rice dumping into the water to lure them away from Qu's body. Now the Chinese mark the anniversary of Qu's death by racing dragon boats and eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on the fifth day of May on China's lunar calendar.\n\nMan-made festivals are created based on various excuses, Jiang said. Chestnut Festival is held because a place produces chestnuts and Trousers Festival is held because a place is flourishing with trousers producing industry. And some business operators take great pains to create festivals to make bigger profits: Such as when a new model of mobile phone is launched, then a mobile phone festival is held.\n\n\"The excuses used by people to create festivals actually ring the passing bell to these created festivals,\" said Fan Kai, a scholar of folk-custom.\n\nVoluntary participation injects vitality into festivals that are celebrated by people from generation to generation, and created festivals which attract few people are doomed to die, Fan said.\n\n\"We can have many festivals but they can not go popular, and the festive atmosphere and joy should not be distorted by commercial manipulations,\" Jiang said, \"With festivals flooding, festive joy will be devalued.\"\n\nWHO BENEFITS FROM THE MAN-MADE FESTIVALS?\n\nWanyuan City, Sichuan Province, is one of the economically underdeveloped regions in western China. To push forward local economic development, local government launched the Daba Mountain Tourism Festival in 2003, which was designed to serve as a platform to lure investment.\n\nThe city government promised high payment to invite famous singers to perform for the purpose of adding to the fun of the festival. But the \"top singer\" invited did not show up for certain reasons.\n\nThe \"top singer\" at last appeared in the city at an occasion to mark the 70th anniversary of the battle to safeguard Wanyuan City last August. Local government lavished 400,000 yuan (about 49,000 US dollars) as the payment for the singer.\n\nA member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) criticized such activities using public funds to idolize singers and movie stars at the CPPCC annual session last year. A storm of criticism against such activities swept across the country. But the situation did not turn around.\n\nDespite economic backwardness, the north China city has since last year spent one million yuan (about 123,000 US dollars) annually to invite singers to perform at the city's tourism festival to lure investment. But the city has actually not absorbed much investment.\n\nFlooding man-made festivals reflect an incorrect concept of some local government officials toward achievements, pointed out a sociologist who declined to be named.\n\nThe sociologist said that these officials act on impulse and speculative purposes in developing local economy, and they pay more attention to the form than substantial results. Man-made festivals are also hotbeds of corruption, said the sociologist.\n\n\"Using festivals as a platform to lure investment and to develop the economy should have been an effective way but the problem is that how people make them attractive not only to business people but also common people,\" said Chen Yi, deputy head of the cultural exchange center of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in south China.\n\n\"Festivals should not be held to make a show of strength or to build up great momentum,\" Chen said.\n\nAs policy-makers, local governments should not blindly \"worship festivals\" but should set to improve the local investment environment to lure investors, experts said.\n\n\"Not endowing too much meaning to festivals, as festivals are just occasions during which people seek fun and relax themselves,\" said one expert, \"If you want to do business or lure investment, trade fairs are much better than festivals.\"", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text":

Karadzic in a bid to track down the fugitive, a spokesman said.\n\nThe soldiers conducted a search of the Pale residence of Dragan Stajcic, who was \"suspected to be a close associate of Radovan Karadzic and part of his support network,\" said Derek Chappell.\n\n\"The search was conducted in an effort to find additional information on Karadzic's movement, whereabouts and to gather information about (his) support network,\" said the NATO spokesman.\n\nChappell said the aim of the operation was to disrupt and put pressure on the support network of Karadzic, the political leader of Bosnian Serbs during Bosnia's 1992-1995 war.\n\nStajcic was a former director of Radio Sveti Jovan (St. John), the station owned by Karadzic's daughter Sonja that was recently closed down after frequent NATO raids.\n\nThe operation comes five days after a high-profile Croatian war crimes suspect, former general Ante Gotovina, was arrested in Spain after four years on the run.\n\nGotovina's arrest raised the pressure on authorities in Bosnia's Serb entity and neighbouring Serbia-Montenegro to bring about the arrests of Karadzic and his wartime military chief Ratko Mladic, who were both indicted by The Hague-based UN war crimes tribunal more than 10 years ago.\n\nThe two are wanted on charges including genocide over the 43-month siege of Sarajevo and the Srebrenica massacre of an estimated 8,000 Muslim males, the single worst atrocity in Europe since World War II.\n\nBoth remain at large despite bounties of five million dollars for information leading to their arrest offered by the United States.\n\nKaradzic is thought to spend his time in either Bosnia or across the border in Montenegro and Mladic is widely believed to be hiding in Serbia.\n\nNATO has failed in repeated efforts to capture Mladic and Karadzic, who remain heroes to nationalist Serbs.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "raided", "start_char": 114, "end_char": 120, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

in Monday morning trading after The Bank of New York and Mellon Financial announced a 16.5 billion-dollar merger.\n\nAt 1657 GMT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 65.61 points (0.54 percent) to 12,259.74 while the Nasdaq composite was 31.69 points (1.31 percent) higher at 2,444.90.\n\nThe broad-market Standard and Poor's 500 index had gained 8.68 points (0.62 percent) to 1,405.39.\n\n\"With market participants focused on the prospect of a slowing economy, upcoming economic releases will be front-and-center, especially Friday's November employment report,\" said AG Edwards analyst Al Goldman.\n\n\"Today, negative news on Pfizer will weigh on the market but will be partially off set by merger developments,\" Goldman said.\n\nThe Bank of New York, which was founded in 1784, and Mellon Financial said they had agreed to merge in a bid to create one of the world's largest global asset managers.\n\nThe new firm, which will be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, will rank among the top 10 global asset managers with over one trillion dollars in assets under management, according to a joint statement from the two banks.\n\nThe share prices of both banks soared in morning deals.\n\nThe Bank of New York's shares were up 3.51 dollars, or 9.9 percent, at 38.99 dollars while Mellon's stock was up 1.87 dollars, or 4.7 percent, at 41.92 dollars.\n\nCiting the \"interests of patient safety,\" US drug manufacturer Pfizer said over the weekend that it was stopping all clinical trials of the cholesterol-controlling drug Torcetrapib.\n\nThe company said Saturday that it was in the process of notifying all clinical investigators and regulatory authorities, including the Food and Drug Administration.\n\nThe decision comes after Pfizer officials were informed that the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) reviewing a morbidity and mortality study for Torcetrapib recommended terminating the trial \"because of an imbalance of mortality and cardiovascular events.\"\n\nPfizer is asking all clinical investigators involved in the program to inform patient participants to stop taking the medication immediately.\n\nThe drug maker's stock was down 3.19 dollars at 24.67 dollars.\n\nIn other stock action, Merrill Lynch was up 1.52 dollars at 88.30 dollars while Bank of America was down 89 cents at 52.61 dollars. Bristol-Myers Squibb was up 30 cents at 25.14 dollars while General Motors was 35 cents higher at 30.04 dollars.\n\nBond prices weakened. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury bond rose to 4.440 percent from 4.425 percent Friday while that on the 30-year bond climbed to 4.552 percent against 4.541 percent.\n\nBond yields and prices move

to confuse police\n\n\n\n\nDrug traffickers in Malaysia are resorting to new tactics to peddle drugs by hiding them in public places and schools to avoid detection, reports said Saturday.\n\nDeputy Home Minister Megat Junid Megat Ayob said traffickers were prepared to hide the drugs in public places because they knew it would be difficult for authorities to prove who the drugs belonged to.\n\n\"We need the co-opertion of not only the school authorities, but also every member of the public to be more alert and report any dubious activities,\" The Star newspaper quoted him as saying in the northern state of Perak.\n\nIn the past week two large drug caches have been uncovered in public areas.\n\nOn Tuesday, Johore police found 5.47 kilograms (12 pounds) of heroin in a men's toilet at a highway interchange. On Thursday, more than 63 kilograms of marijuana was located hidden in the ceiling of a Kuala Lumpur secondary school classroom.\n\nFour people were arrested following the marijuana seizure, and police said they were believed to be members of a syndicate using the school as a storage place in an attempt to avoid detection.\n\nMegat Junid said more such cases would emerge as the authorities stepped up enforcement on illegal drug dealings.\n\nMalaysia has hanged 214 drug traffickers since the introduction of the mandatory death penalty in 1980, while 118 are on death row.\n\nA death sentence is mandatory for anyone caught with 15 grams (0.5 ounce) or more of heroin or morphine in Malaysia.\n\nMalaysia, which describes all proven drug users as addicts, has an estimated 400,000 addicts in a population of 20 million people.\n\nNarcotics officials say the death penalty has to some extent failed to deter drug trafficking because of the huge profits to be gained from

a bishop without papal approval and urged Beijing to work towards restoring ties with the Vatican.\n\nIn a strongly worded statement, Cardinal Joseph Zen described the ordination of Wang Renlei, 36, as Bishop of Xuzhou in the eastern province of Jiangsu, as \"illegitimate\".\n\n\"It is hard to understand how there can be people who obstinately work for destruction,\" the outspoken Zen said.\n\n\"Under the cloak of serving the Church, they work to destroy her unity.\"\n\nZen, 74, said China's move showed \"how those with vested interests are terribly afraid that the Church one day may operate normally and freely according to her constitution.\"\n\nChina's state-run Catholic Church Thursday ordained Wang Renlei, 36, as Bishop of Xuzhou in the eastern province of Jiangsu. He became the fourth bishop ordained in China this year without the blessing of the Vatican.\n\nChina installed new bishops Ma Yinglin on April 30 in Anhui province, and Liu Xinhong in Yunnan province on May 3 despite Vatican objections, in a move seen as further damaging relations between the Holy See and Beijing.\n\nOn May 14, Zhan Silu was ordained a bishop in southwestern China's Fujian province.\n\nZen, who leads 250,000 Catholics here, said the latest ordination was a \"very serious offence\".\n\nHe chastised China for going back on its promise to a Vatican delegation not to ordain any more bishops without papal approval.\n\n\"In order to achieve their purpose, the methods they used this time are not only threat, allurement and deceit, but also forceful abduction and kidnapping!\" said Zen.\n\nHe was apparently referring to a report by the Vatican-based AsiaNews agency that two Chinese bishops recognised by the Holy See, Li Liangui and Peter Feng Xinmao, were forced to take part in the ordination ceremony.\n\nThe Shanghai-born Zen made an appeal to the Chinese leaders and \"begged\" them to start a dialogue with the Holy See to restore diplomatic ties that were cut in 1951, prompting the Vatican to switch recognition to Taiwan.\n\n\"We beg you to make a firm decision to start a substantial dialogue with the Holy See, to find a way acceptable to both, the State and the Holy See, so that the Church in our country may operate normally and the faithful may be happy to offer themselves and contribute to the real good of our country,\" he said.\n\nSince becoming pope last year, Benedict XVI has sought to improve ties with Beijing in an effort to get closer to millions of Chinese Catholics, but the consecrations have been seen as a setback to those efforts.\n\nChina's state-sanctioned church, which does not answer to the pope, has about four million worshippers, official figures show. The Vatican estimates the country's underground Catholic church has around 10 million followers.\n\nChinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu on Thursday reaffirmed China's policy of independence from the Vatican.\n\nShe reiterated that to re-establish ties, the Vatican must sever ties with Taiwan and not interfere with its internal affairs. China regards Taiwan as part of its territory awaiting reunification.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "condemned", "start_char": 159, "end_char": 168, "eid": "e1", "eiid":

State Condoleezza Rice expressed optimism Monday that the UN Security Council will finally impose sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program after the US and Russia closed ranks around a European draft resolution that was months in the making.\n\n\"It's a good resolution,\" Rice told AFP in an exclusive interview after a revised draft resolution was submitted to the full Security Council at UN headquarters in New York earlier Monday.\n\nRice said she was \"optimistic\" the resolution aimed at persuading Iran to suspend uranium enrichment would pass soon, though she stopped short of predicting a final vote before the end of the year.\n\n\"It has to be voted soon. I think this has gone on long enough,\" she said as negotiations over specific details of the resolution drawn up by Britain and France continued in New York.\n\nThe six major powers dealing with the issue -- Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany -- have been wrangling for months over the terms of the sanctions resolution.\n\nThe punitive measures were agreed in principle under an earlier Security Council resolution, which gave Iran until August 31 to suspend its enrichment of uranium, which can be used to produce fuel for nuclear power plants but also to provide the fissile material for atomic weapons.\n\nBut agreement proved elusive as Russia and China objected to an earlier European draft as too harsh, while Washington felt it did not go far enough.\n\nRussia on Monday welcomed changes to the text, but still had reservations over a provision imposing travel bans on officials linked to Tehran's nuclear and missile programs.\n\n\"Clearly this draft does absorb the Russian philosophy of the direction and content of this resolution,\" Russia's UN envoy Vitaly Churkin told reporters after a round of informal talks among ambassadors of six major powers.\n\nChurkin hailed the sponsors' decision to drop all references in the draft to Iran's first nuclear power station, a one-billion-dollar facility which Russia is helping to build in Bushehr.\n\nRice said Monday that she was satisfied with the latest draft, notably because it will be voted under Chapter 7 of the UN charter, which makes the measures mandatory for all UN members.\n\n\"It establishes Chapter 7, which to my mind is the most important element here,\" she said.\n\n\"It would make very clear to the Iranians that they are not going to be able to pursue this program and remain integrated into the international system and I would hope would give them pause so they might consider coming back to negotiations,\" she said.\n\nRice has steadfastly rejected calls for Washington to break a 27-year ban on direct negotiations with Iran in order to deal with the nuclear issue or gain Tehran's help in resolving the crisis in neighboring Iraq.\n\nBut she reaffirmed on Monday her willingness to meet her Iranian counterpart \"any place, any time, anywhere, about any subject\" once Tehran suspends its enrichment program.\n\nThe revised European draft, a copy of which was obtained by AFP, would mandate a ban on trade with Iran on goods related to its nuclear and ballistic missile programs and impose financial and travel restrictions on persons and entities involved.\n\nDespite Russian objections, it includes a list of a dozen Iranian officials directly involved in their country's nuclear and ballistic programs who would be targeted for UN sanctions.\n\nTehran insists its nuclear program is solely for the production of energy.\n\nThe West claims Iran is running a secret nuclear military program parallel to its civilian one.",

Africa's black-owned firm\n\n\n\n\nGlobal diamond giant De Beers has sold 26 percent of its South African operation to a black- owned consortium for 3.8 billion rand (about 575 million US dollars) in compliance with the country's mining charter.\n\nThe company's South African unit, De Beers Consolidated Mines ( DBCM), said on Tuesday that the upfront sale exceeded the 2009 mining charter target, and put the company in immediate compliance with target for 2014.\n\nSouth Africa's mining charter stipulates that 15 percent of mining companies' units of production, not 15 percent of their assets, has to be black-owned in the medium term, and 26 percent in the longer term.\n\nIt is understood that the deal will only affect DBCM, which were split off from the rest of De Beers during the past 18 months of restructuring at the firm, which mines half of the world's diamonds.\n\nDe Beers, 45 percent owned by mining giant Anglo American and 40 percent owned by the Oppenheimer family, has been slammed by the government for not having enough black faces in its management.\n\nLulu Xingwana, deputy minister of minerals and energy, had fiercely criticized De Beers as a \"white cartel\" that was \"looting \" South Africa's mineral wealth.\n\nPonahalo, the company which bought the stake from De Beers, is owned by Mannie Dipico, a former premier of the Northern Cape province and now head of the election committee of the ruling African National Congress.\n\nIn terms of the deal, Ponahalo will utilize 10 million rand ( escalating at five percent per year) of its dividend income to make other investments in South Africa, primarily in areas in which De Beers operated with the intent of aiding economic growth and facilitating job creation, said a SAPA news agency report.\n\nPonahalo is 50 percent owned by current De Beers employees and pensioners while the other 50 percent is held by Ponahalo Investment Holding.\n\nThe deal was described by local media as \"the most significant change in ownership\" in its 117-year history since the Barnato Diamond Mining Company was merged with De Beers in 1888.\n\nThree weeks ago David Noko became the first black person to run De Beers' local operations, taking over from Johathan Oppenheimer, who is the fourth generation of the Oppenheimer family to have managed the business.\n\nBut local newspaper The Star on Tuesday pointed out that the black empowerment deal will be \"tricky\" because five out of the seven local mines are losing money.\n\nAdded to this an eight percent royalty on revenues is being contemplated by the government, which De Beers has warned will close mines.\n\nReacting to De Beers' announcement, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said the deal \"sends the right signals in an industry that is seemingly hesitant to wholeheartedly embrace transformation enshrined in the Mining Charter, a document they are signatories to, anyway.\"\n\nNUM general secretary Gwede Mantashe also noted his union was pleased to see Ponahalo was chaired by Dipico, a former diamond mineworker and NUM shop steward.\n\n\"We hope that his experiences will assist in ensuring that this new partnership with De Beers will lead to the betterment of workers and the communities of diamond mineworkers,\" Mantashe said.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "sold", "start_char": 172, "end_char": 176,

2006\n\n=(PICTURE)=\n\n\n\n\nWhen Sebastian Soria moved to Qatar from his native Uruguay, he had no idea where the tiny desert country was in the world.\n\nTwo years on, the striker has not only made Doha his home but has taken Qatari citizenship and the national team into the Asian Games final.\n\n\"I was brought to Qatar in September, 2004 by French coach Bruno Metsu (the man who led Senegal at the 2002 World Cup finals) who was at Al Gharrafa at the time,\" recalled Soria.\n\n\"When I received the offer I jumped at the opportunity. But I had to look it up on the map because I didn't know where Qatar was.\"\n\nSoria was granted citizenship on the eve of the Games.\n\nHe made his debut for the senior side in an Asian Cup qualifier against Uzbekistan in November and has since played a starring role, scoring four goals as Qatar reached their first ever Asian Games gold medal match.\n\nIraq await them in Friday's final.\n\nSoria made an immediate impact in his first league season at Al Gharrafa scoring 14 goals as his new club won the domestic Q-League.\n\nThe following season, he moved to Qatar Sports Club, hit 19 goals and was named player of the year.\n\n\"We want to win a medal here,\" said Soria who has former Nigerian star Jay Jay Okacha as a teammate at Qatar Sports Club.\n\n\"Then we have the Gulf Cup in the UAE in January. But my ultimate dream is to make the World Cup finals with Qatar.\n\n\"This is a young and talented group. We have a good infrastructure, an ever-growing league and I think we can do well against the best teams in Asia like Saudi Arabia and Japan.\"\n\nSoria, who hit the first goal in the 2-0 semi-final win against defending champions Iran, could become the tournament's top scorer in the final. At the moment, he is one behind Uzbekistan's Alexandr Geynrikh.\n\n\"When I play I try to help the team to win,\" he said.\n\n\"If I have the chance to become the top scorer then I will try and score as many goals as possible. If I score two more it will mean that Qatar will have more chances to win the gold medal.\"\n\nDespite being a foreign import, Soria has not faced the kind of angry backlash which has engulfed the country's legion of Kenyan track stars winning gold in the athletics.\n\nUnlike the runners, Soria actually spends all of his time in Doha and for that, Qatar's Bosnian coach Dzelamudin Musovic is eternally grateful.\n\n\"A player like him can do a world of good to any side,\" said Musovic.\n\n\"But what I like and I am happy about is to see him jell well with the other players. More than anything, I feel that's the quality I like in him.\n\n\"He can also resolve many problems up front -- he can score and can deliver those crucial passes.\"", "time_expressions": null,

the green light on Thursday to a controversial proposal which seeks to radically review the European Union's chemicals policy and improve its chemical safety standards.\n\nCompanies will have to prove that the chemicals they use in their products are safe, under the amended bill on registration, evaluation and authorization of chemicals (REACH) passed by the parliament in Strasbourg.\n\nA new European Chemical Agency will be set up to ensure a consistent and uniform evaluation and registration of chemical substances within the EU, according to the bill.\n\nFirms are required to register with the chemical agency any of about 30,000 substances contained within products such as cars, computers and paint, according to the bill.\n\nThe most hazardous of these substances, which are to be decided by the new chemical agency, would have to undergo testing before being passed for use.\n\nCompanies are also required to replace hazardous chemicals with safe alternatives where possible.\n\nThe proposal still needs to be approved by the EU Council to become EU-wide law.\n\nThe law would affect firms producing or importing more than one ton of a chemical per year, and put on them a duty to prove that their products are safe.\n\nThe law also seeks to improve the labeling of products which contain potentially dangerous substances.\n\nThursday's vote came after years of

"XIN_ENG_20061114.0059\n\nGUIYANG, Nov. 14 , 2006 (Xinhua)\n\nPower station plan at SW China scenic spot sparks controversy\n\n\n\n\nPlans to build a hydropower station in a national scenic spot in southwest China have fired a debate on the precedence of economic development over natural conservation.\n\nA foundation-laying ceremony was held last month for the Zhaojiadu Hydropower Station near the Malinghe river canyon scenic site, at Xingyi City in Bouyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in the rather underdeveloped province of Guizhou.\n\nThe facility would produce 355 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, bringing revenues of more than 81 million yuan (10 million U.S. dollars), the prefecture government has predicted.\n\nBut some local residents and officials have expressed deep concern over the project, fearing the dam would split the famous canyon into three parts and flood the most beautiful areas.\n\n\"The canyon is a gift of nature and belongs to the world. It is not worth destroying a scenic spot for temporary profit,\" said Peng Dianji, a political advisor to the prefecture government.\n\nThe station would seriously damage local tourism, he warned.\n\nThe provincial government has invested 56 million yuan (seven million U.S. dollars) in tourism facilities in the 450-sq-km Malinghe River Canyon Scenic Area.\n\nThe area received 800,000 visitors so far this year and is expected to bring a total revenue of 300 million yuan (38 million U.S. dollars) for the year, said an official with the scenic area.\n\n\"In the long run, tourism will bring far more benefits than a power plant,\" the worker said, calling the power station plan \"shortsighted\".\n\nDespite the controversy, the local government seems determined to build the station.\n\nThe hydropower station has passed assessments in geological damage, water and soil conservation and environmental effects.\n\n\"A comprehensive use plan for the Malinghe River was drawn up a long time ago,\" said Chen Xianglin, an official with the autonomous prefecture.\n\n\"A power station would bring direct economic benefit,\" he said. \"Tax revenue alone would be 14 million yuan (1.7 million U.S dollars) a year.\"\n\nAn artificial lake would form after the power station was completed, which would also be a visitor attraction, Chen argued.\n\n\"Protection is important for a state-level scenic site, but the law does not preclude the comprehensive use of water resources,\" said Zhang Dingshu, deputy head of the prefecture.\n\nZhang admitted the project was yet to be officially approved by the Ministry of Construction, but preparatory work was underway.", "time_expressions": null, "event_expressions": [{"text": "build", "start_char": 132, "end_char": 137, "eid":
