Wide of crash scene STORYLINE An Air India Express plane trying to land at a tricky hilltop airport in southern India overshot the runway early on Saturday, crashed over a cliff and burst into flames, killing nearly 160 people, officials said. There were eight survivors. Scores of villagers scrambled over the hilly terrain to reach the wreckage, and began aiding in the rescue operation. Dense black smoke billowed from the wreckage of the flaming Boeing 737-800 aircraft in a hilly area with thick grass and trees just outside Mangalore's Bajpe airport, which lies around 12 miles (19 kilometres) from Mangalore itself. Firefighters sprayed water and foam on the plane - which had travelled from Dubai - as others struggled to find survivors. An Associated Press photo showed two rescuers running up a hill carrying a young child covered in foam to waiting medics. The child's fate was not immediately known. The plane was carrying 160 passengers - all Indian - and six crew members, according to Air India official Anup Srivastava. The pilot and co-pilot were among the dead. Workers pulled scores of burned bodies from the blackened tangle of aircraft cables, twisted metal, charred trees and mud at the crash site. Many of the dead were strapped into their seats, their bodies burned beyond recognition. Relatives of the victims, who had come to the airport to meet them, stood near the wreckage weeping. One survivor, who suffered burns on his face and hands, said it felt like a tyre burst after the plane landed. "There was a blast and plane was filled with smoke and there was total chaos," he told local media. By Saturday afternoon, rescuers had pulled 146 bodies from the wreckage. Eight other passengers had been rescued and were being treated in local hospitals, the airline said. Indian External Affairs Minister S. M. Krishna visited the injured in the hospital at Mangalore later on Saturday. In New Delhi, Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel addressed reporters following a meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He said the plane had been in contact with air traffic control prior to the crash and had not reported any problems. He added that the reason behind the crash would only be known after the high level inquiry which has been ordered by the Director General of Civil Aviation is completed. Earlier in New Delhi, M. Madhavan Nambiar, Secretary of India's Ministry of Aviation, M. Madhavan Nambiar, confirmed that the crash had happened around 0600 local time (0030 GMT) and that the plane had been just two years old and had an experienced pilot and co-pilot. He refused to speculate on whether the situation of the runway itself had been a contributory factor, saying that there had been more than 32-thousand safe landings on it since it came into operation in 2006. Indian Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram previously said the plane's pilot was a British citizen with more than 10-thousand hours of flying experience, including 26 landings at Mangalore. The Indian co-pilot had more than 3,750 hours of experience and 66 landings at Mangalore, he said. Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said that conversations with the cockpit and other records showed the flight was operating normally before touchdown. Air India runs cheap flights under the Air India Express banner to Dubai and other Middle Eastern destinations where millions of Indian expatriate workers are employed. The crash was the deadliest in India since the November 1996 midair collision between a Saudi airliner and a Kazakh cargo plane near New Delhi that killed 349 people. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressed condolences and promised compensation for the families of the victims. Boeing said it was sending a team to aid in the investigation. Meanwhile, at Dubai International Airport, a special room was set up to assist relatives and friends of the passengers at Terminal 2, a hub for many budget and small airlines.

Ambulance driving away through crowd STORYLINE Relatives flooded into a hospital mortuary in Mangalore on Saturday to try to identify the bodies of the victims from the crash of an Air India Express plane that was carrying 166 people. Eight people escaped after the plane overshot a hilltop runway in southern India and plunged over a cliff, officials said. At least some of the survivors managed to jump from the wreckage just before it burst into flames. By Saturday night, rescuers had pulled 158 bodies from the wreckage. The eight survivors were being treated in hospitals, the airline said. Bereaved relatives waited their turn at the mortuary in Mangalore to identify the remains of their loved ones while volunteers pored over passenger lists. Bodies that were positively identified were wrapped up and taken away in ambulances. One man said he had identified five relatives on the flight from Dubai to the port city of Mangalore, and was still trying to find his uncle's remains. Firefighters struggled to reach the twisted, smoking wreckage of the Boeing 737-800, which was scattered along the hillside of thick grass and trees just outside Mangalore's Bajpe airport. But after the first few minutes, there were no more survivors to be found. Instead, scores of burned bodies were pulled from the blackened tangle of aircraft cables, twisted metal, charred trees and mud at the crash site. Many of the dead were strapped into their seats, their bodies burned beyond recognition. Air India, the country's national carrier, runs inexpensive flights under the Air India Express banner to Dubai and other Middle Eastern destinations where millions of Indians are employed. The plane was carrying 160 passengers - all Indian - and six crew members, an Air India official said. Four infants and 19 other children were among the passengers. The British pilot, who was of Serbian origin, and an Indian co-pilot were among the dead, officials said.

Rana Ashraf talking on phone 9. Tilt down exterior Hanif Rajput Catering Services office STORYLINE A catering company executive who was among six men detained by Pakistan for allegedly helping the Times Square bombing suspect had differences with American policy in the region but no hatred toward the country, his father said on Saturday. Rana Ashraf Khan's son, Salman, was one of six suspects arrested by Pakistani authorities following the failed New York attack, although the timing of their detention remains unclear. Five of the men were picked up in the capital, Islamabad, a senior Pakistani intelligence official told The Associated Press. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the investigation. The official claimed that Salman Ashraf Khan - who co-owned the upscale Hanif Rajput Catering Service - had been recruited because two other suspects "wanted him to help bomb a big gathering of foreigners" whose event his company was catering for. Hanif Rajput Catering Service in Islamabad is popular among foreign embassies and many of Pakistan's wealthiest companies and individuals. In a statement on its website, the US embassy warned that the catering company was suspected of ties to insurgent groups and said American diplomats had been instructed to stop using it. But Khan's father on Saturday said he was baffled by the accusations, adding his son was a successful businessman who lived happily as a student in the US for four years. The younger Khan studied hotel management in Florida and computer science in Houston, returning to Pakistan in 2001 to take over the family business. His family reported him missing after he failed to turn up at his office on 10 May. A neighbour's guard saw a man drop off Khan's car at the family home about an hour after he left for work, then speed off in a taxi with several others, the father said. Like Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani-American accused in the failed New York bombing, the six suspects held in Pakistan were all members of the country's so-called urban elite, some of them educated in the United States. But Khan's father said it was unlikely that his son had anything to do with Shahzad as he had been ""always more than preoccupied with his business for the last five to six years". "There might have been a chance he might have come across this guy...but having any connection with him - totally out of question," he added. He continued accusing the authorities of denying his son his legal rights. "Why they don't bring him in front of the court? Why don't they produce him? There has been no word from them. It is the 13th day, the family is going through its most terrible time," he said. The detainees are believed to be in the custody of Pakistani intelligence, which has been known to hold people for months - if not years - without trial. It cooperates closely with the CIA, which is often given access to detainees.

If our relations are defined by win-win solutions rather than zero-sum rivalries, we will thrive and prosper together. Now we may not always agree on every issue, but we should seek and seize opportunities such as this Expo, to build greater understanding between our peoples." 5. Wide of Clinton speaking on stage 6. Mid of attendees clapping 7. Mid of Clinton walking over to sculptures of pandas to pose for photographs with US Pavilion officials STORYLINE The United States and China should seek greater cooperation, the US Secretary of State told US and Chinese officials during a tour of the World Expo in Shanghai on Saturday. Speaking at a dinner in the US Pavilion, Hillary Rodham Clinton extolled the virtues of cooperation between the nations in a major charm offensive ahead of talks in Beijing on Sunday. "If our relations are defined by win-win solutions rather than zero-sum rivalries, we will thrive and prosper together," Clinton told the fifty or so US and Chinese officials and delegates. Clinton's tour of the US and Chinese Pavilions, seeking to strengthen US-Chinese ties, marks a major US push to win China's support for penalising its ally North Korea over the sinking of a South Korean warship. In Tokyo on Friday, Clinton said the evidence was "overwhelming" that North Korea was behind the sinking of the South Korean ship Cheonan in March, which killed 46 sailors, and demanded that the communist country must face international consequences. North Korea denies it was responsible and has threatened to retaliate against any attempt to punish it with "all-out war." On Sunday, Clinton will lead a delegation with US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, for high-level US-Chinese talks in Beijing expected to be dominated by the South Korean ship incident. The second round of the so-called "Strategic and Economic Dialogue" was supposed to be the main thrust of Clinton's trip, but with the release of a report on Thursday blaming Pyongyang for sinking the South Korean vessel, Clinton's main task now is persuading China to support United Nations Security Council action against Pyongyang. China, North Korea's primary ally and financial supporter, has been neutral on the conclusions of the report that found Pyongyang responsible for firing a torpedo that sank the Cheonan. On Saturday, the UN Command's Military Armistice Commission, which oversees the 1953 Korean War truce agreement, said it would review the findings of the report and determine the scope of North Korea's armistice violation. Chinese officials have appealed for calm, calling the sinking "unfortunate," but they have stopped short of backing Seoul in the growing dispute, instead reiterating long-standing views on the need to maintain peace on the peninsula. As a veto-wielding permanent member of the Security Council, China's backing for any UN Security Council move will be key. US officials travelling with Clinton say she will push Chinese leaders to "acknowledge the reality" of what happened and support measures to convince the North to change its behaviour.

Various of pyrotechnics going off on stage 12. Santos and Garzon onstage with their wives, waving to audience STORYLINE Colombian presidential candidate Juan Manuel Santos closed his campaign on Friday night with a crowded gathering in a Bogota theatre where he pledged to continue with president Alvaro Uribe's work. Nine days ahead of the May 30th presidential elections, Colombia's former Defence Minister held the last act of his presidential campaign in El Campin theatre in front of five-thousand people. Well known Colombian musicians entertained the crowd who waved banners in support of the Partido de la U candidate. According to the most recent surveys, 58-year-old Santos regained the lead in the polls for the first round of voting with 35 percent of the vote intention. But his main contender, former Bogota mayor Antanas Mockus, from the Green Party, follows him extremely close with 34 percent. After Mockus' popularity skyrocketed over a month ago, Santos, who as Uribe's political heir had always been the favourite to win the election, had to change his strategy. "We are going to vote for continuity, to move forward, to strengthen what president Uribe left us, so all Colombians, we get a job, that's what we need, more and more jobs," he said. Santos pledged to continue Uribe's path and to work towards strengthening the economy, seen as one of Uribe's great achievements, but softened his tone when he referred to his political opponents, inside and outside the country. "I don't see enemies in my political adversaries, nor in foreign government. Ideological differences cannot divide us. Our enemies and common enemies, and you know them well, my enemy is unemployment, my enemy is poverty, my enemy is corruption," he said. The former Defence Minister is well known for his non-diplomatic manners and his promptness to sharply react to any criticism. None of them, Santos or Mockus who is closing his campaign on Sunday, seem to have a chance to win in the first round where 50 percent of the votes are necessary. Polls indicate that they will have to go to the run-off round on June 20th.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered at the imposing 9 de Julio (9 of July) Avenue to watch the parade, despite the threat of rain due to grey clouds over the capital. Five thousand soldiers and members of the state's security forces took part in the parade. Only once before in almost 30 years, during Carlos Menem's presidency, has the army paraded in the streets of the capital. Numerous activities to celebrate the bicentenary of Argentina's independence have been scheduled in the upcoming days. The 9 of July Avenue, stage to most of them, has been closed to traffic since Friday night and it will be closed until Tuesday. Stalls representing the Argentinean provinces have been set along the avenue to display to visitors the history, charms and peculiarities of each one.

Mid shot road policeman in the street 17. Wide of traffic on street, vehicle with lights and siren driving away in far lane STORYLINE About 200 people protested in Moscow on Saturday against special flashing blue lights used by officials to get around traffic rules. The protesters wore blue buckets and cups on their heads in imitation of the blue lights, called migalki, that the drivers for VIPs attach to their cars allowing them to ignore traffic rules so they can get to meetings on time. Participants at previous protests have been detained by police but Saturday's event was peaceful. For the protesters, the lights have come to symbolise Russia's elite because they allow the officials to escape the chronic traffic congestion on Moscow's road network. Regular car owners have previously held flashmob protests against the use of the lights and have put blue buckets on their cars to imitate them. Muscovites are all too accustomed to seeing luxury sedans driving in the opposite lane to escape gridlock. The cars often have flashing blue lights, issued mainly to government officials. In one incident in March, a black Mercedes with a flashing blue light on the roof and a VIP inside collided head-on with a little hatchback, killing the two women in the car. The VIP - a vice president of Lukoil, Russia's largest private oil company - left in another car, and police blamed the hatchback for swerving into oncoming traffic.

(animal with eyes closed can be heard snoring) STORYLINE The Cuban town of Vinales, set in a lush green valley 200 kilometres west of Havana, is known for its beautiful karst scenery and tobacco leaf farms as well as trained livestock that can entertain foreign tourists. Most of the town's inhabitants make their living attending to the visitors. That includes Tomas, a water buffalo who on one particular morning was taking his usual shower before heading off to work. The guy with the garden hose is his trainer, 31-year-old Javier Pimentel. People come from miles around to see 14-year-old Tomas perform. His isn't some amazing acrobatic act or life-risking stunt show. Tomas simply listens. Tourists mount his saddle and he takes them for a short stroll around a local park while while obeying verbal commands from Pimentel. "Turn right", says Javier, and there goes Tomas. "A little to the left", and Tomas adjusts. "Stop!", says Javier and Tomas stops flat in his tracks. Certainly not your usual water buffalo behaviour. Especially when he's asked to take just one or two steps forward and he does just that without overstepping his bounds. Tomas is the only known water buffalo on the Caribbean island trained like a domesticated pet. Pimentel and Tomas have been a staple of the Vinales tourist trade for years. Pimentel trained Tomas when the Asian water buffalo was just two years old. They have been working together for 12 years now. "A family picture at my house is not a picture if it's without Tomas," said Javier. This particular species of buffalo was introduced to Cuba back in the 1980s to replenish a dwindling heard of cattle, but Pimentel said most people are afraid of the breed and somewhat cautious of their large horns and therefore unwilling to work with them. Day after day, Javier and Tomas leave their home and head to the park one kilometre (about half a mile) away to await the tourists. Pimentel charges the equivalent of about 1 US dollar for a ride on Tomas' back. Business isn't bad for the duo although tourism in the area has dropped a bit. But there's always competition. Meet Jardinero, a 17-year-old white ox who's also peddling his act with visiting tourists. Jardinero and his trainer, Alejandro Perez, have been together for 14 years and performing in Vinales for the past 8 years. Perez said he's uneducated, having dropped out of school after the fifth grade, but said he has an extraordinary knack at communicating with Jardinero. Jardinero's act is the opposite of Pimentel's: Jardinero gets paid to sleep and snore. People come from afar to see how this enormous beast is told to lay down, go to sleep, and snore. The pair don't charge a set price but they do accept tips.

Inscription on gravestone 25. People paying respects at grave, tilt down to view of grave STORYLINE Nicolaus Copernicus, the 16th-century astronomer whose findings were condemned by the Roman Catholic Church as heretical, was reburied by Polish priests as a hero on Saturday, nearly 5-hundred years after he was laid to rest in an unmarked grave. His burial in a tomb in the cathedral where he once served as a church canon and doctor indicates how far the church has come in making peace with the scientist whose revolutionary theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun helped usher in the modern scientific age. Copernicus, who lived from 1473 to 1543, died as a little-known astronomer working in what is now Poland, far from Europe's centres of learning. He had spent years labouring in his free time developing his theory, which was later condemned as heretical by the church because it removed Earth and humanity from their central position in the universe. His revolutionary model was based on complex mathematical calculations and his naked-eye observations of the heavens because the telescope had not yet been invented. After his death, his remains rested in an unmarked grave beneath the floor of the cathedral in Frombork, northern Poland, the exact location unknown. On Saturday, his remains were blessed with holy water by some of Poland's highest-ranking clerics before an honour guard ceremoniously carried the coffin through the imposing red brick cathedral and lowered it back into the same spot where part of his skull and other bones were found in 2005. A black granite tombstone now identifies him as the founder of the heliocentric theory, but also a church canon, a cleric that ranks below a priest. The tombstone is decorated with a model of the solar system, a golden sun encircled by six of the planets. At the urging of a local bishop, scientists began searching in 2004 for the astronomer's remains and eventually turned up a skull and bones of a 70-year-old man - the age Copernicus was when he died. A reconstruction made by forensic police based on the skull showed a broken nose and other features that resemble a self-portrait of Copernicus. In a later stage of the investigation, DNA taken from teeth and bones matched that from hairs found in one of his books, leading the scientists to conclude with great probability that they had finally found Copernicus. In recent weeks, a wooden casket holding those remains has lain in state in the nearby city of Olsztyn, and on Friday they were toured around the region to towns linked to his life. The pageantry comes 18 years after the Vatican rehabilitated the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, who was persecuted in the Inquisition for carrying the Copernican Revolution forward. Saturday's Mass was led by Jozef Kowalczyk, the papal nuncio and newly named Primate of Poland, the highest church authority in this deeply Catholic country. Poland also is the homeland of John Paul II, the late pope who said in 1992 that the church was wrong in condemning Galileo's work. Copernicus' burial in an anonymous grave in the 16th century was not linked to suspicions of heresy. Copernicus' major treatise - "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres" - was published at the very end of his life, and he only received a copy of the printed book on the day he died - 21 May 1543.

Workers raking oil from sand STORYLINE: The gooey oil washing into the maze of marshes along the Gulf Coast could prove impossible to remove, leaving a toxic stew lethal to fish and wildlife, government officials and independent scientists said. Officials are considering some drastic and risky solutions: They could set the wetlands on fire or flood areas in hopes of floating out the oil. The only viable option for many impacted areas is to do nothing and let nature break down the spill. More than 50 miles of Louisiana's delicate shoreline already have been soiled by the massive slick unleashed after the Deepwater Horizon rig burned and sank last month. Officials fear oil eventually could invade wetlands and beaches from Texas to Florida. Louisiana is expected to be hit hardest. Oil that has rolled into shoreline wetlands coats the stalks and leaves of plants such as roseau cane, the fabric that holds together an ecosystem that is essential to the region's fishing industry and a much-needed buffer against Gulf hurricanes. Soon, oil will smother those plants and choke off their supply of air and nutrients. In some eddies and protected inlets, the ochre-coloured crude has pooled beneath the water's surface, forming clumps several inches deep. With the seafloor leak still gushing at least hundreds of thousands of gallons a day, the damage is only getting worse. Coast Guard officials said the spill's impact now stretches across a 150-mile swath, from Dauphin Island, Alabama to Grand Isle, Louisiana. Anger was growing along the US Gulf Coast on Saturday, with many wondering how to clean up the monthlong mess - especially now that BP's latest try to plug the blown-out well won't happen until at least Tuesday. "We're going to ask the national government, the federal government to step in and take over this operation from BP because BP is not putting the resources in place to stop this horrible environmental tragedy from occurring," said Deano Bonano, the Homeland Security Chief for Jefferson Parish, which stretches from the New Orleans metropolitan area to the coast. The oil has forced officials to close a public beach on Grand Isle, south of New Orleans, as globs of crude that resembled melted chocolate washed up. Others have questioned why BP PLC was still in charge of the response. "We're tired of being told that resources are available and doing the job, and they don't ever show up. Quite frankly, we're getting to point where we think we're being lied to," said Bonano. After the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska, Congress dictated that oil companies be responsible for dealing with major accidents - including paying for all cleanup - with oversight by federal agencies. BP, which is in charge of the cleanup, said it will be at least Tuesday before engineers can shoot mud into the blown-out well at the bottom of the Gulf, yet another delay in the effort to stop the oil. A so-called "top kill" has been tried on land but never 5,000 feet (1,500 metres) underwater, so scientists and engineers have spent the past week preparing and taking measurements to make sure it will stop the oil that has been spewing into the sea for a month. They originally hoped to try it as early as this weekend. Crews will shoot heavy mud into a crippled piece of equipment atop the well, which started spewing after the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20 off the coast of Louisiana, killing 11 workers. Then engineers will direct cement at the well to permanently stop the oil. BP, which was leasing the rig and is responsible for the cleanup, has tried and failed several times to halt the oil. Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said Friday that a mile-long (1.6-kilometre-long) tube inserted into the leaking pipe is sucking about 92,400 gallons (350,000 litres) of oil a day to the surface, a figure much lower than the 210,000 gallons (795,000 litres) a day the company said the tube was sucking up Thursday. Suttles said the higher number is the most the tube has been sucking up at any one time, while the lower number is the average. Even under the most conservative estimate, about 6 (m) million gallons (22.7 million litres) have leaked so far, more than half the amount spilled by the Exxon Valdez. The month-old oil disaster has unleashed a gusher of congressional hearings that may prove nearly as hard to cap as the blown BP well. On Saturday, the blossoming investigation into the spill progressed when President Barack Obama announced that former Florida Senator Bob Graham and former EPA Administrator William K. Reilly will lead a presidential commission probing the spill. In an election year rife with political posturing, the spill is proving an easy target for lawmakers, whose fears of being swept out of office by an anti-incumbent wave were reinforced by Tuesday's batch of primaries. One Republican senator said there would be plenty of time later for hearings into the Gulf oil spill. As he criticised Democrats for holding hearings, David Vitter of Louisiana said the focus now should be on stopping the oil flow and protecting the coastline. He spoke in his party's weekly address. Public interest in the spill is high - after lawmakers pressed BP for a live video feed of the leak this week, so many people tried to view it that they crashed the government Web site where it was posted. BP executives say the only guaranteed solution to stop the leak is a pair of relief wells crews have already started drilling, but the work will not be complete for at least two months. That makes the stakes even higher for the top kill. BP is also developing several other plans in case the top kill doesn't work, including an effort to shoot knotted rope, pieces of tyre and other material - known as a junk shot - to plug the blowout preventer, which was meant to shut off the oil in case of an accident but did not work.
