Crash investigation officials listening STORYLINE Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk flew to Smolensk on Saturday to meet Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin for high-level talks after a plane crash killed Poland's president and dozens of the country's high-ranking military and political leaders. Putin and Tusk were also briefed in a video conference by members of a special commission in Moscow, who told them that doctors, psychologists and other specialists were ready to assist relatives of the victims. Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria were killed along with at least 95 others when their plane crashed en route to a memorial service to mark the 70th anniversary of the killing of thousands of Polish officers and intellectuals by the Soviet secret security during World War II. The purpose behind the journey, laid bare the deep divisions that remain between two nations still struggling to be more than uneasy neighbours who watch each other with suspicion. In a show of solidarity, Tusk and Putin appeared before the cameras together as rescue teams worked to recover the bodies of those who died and to establish why the aging Russian carrier carrying Polish delegates crashed. Putin personally took charge of the investigation and quickly offered condolences, along with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Poland called for two minutes of silence across the country on Sunday and declared a week of mourning. Medvedev declared Monday a day of mourning in Russia. Televised scenes show Poles weeping before their TVs, flags lowered to half-staff and black ribbons taped in windows as the upper echelons of the establishment lay dead in woods a short drive from the site of the Katyn forest massacre, one of Poland's greatest national traumas. Chunks of the plane were scattered widely amid leafless trees and small fires in woods shrouded with fog. On board were the national bank president, deputy foreign minister, army chaplain, head of the National Security Office, deputy parliament speaker, Olympic Committee head, civil rights commissioner and at least two presidential aides and three lawmakers, the Polish foreign ministry said. Earlier, Putin met with Emergency Situations Minister Sergei Shoigu and toured the crash site with Shoigu. Putin vowed to do everything possible to discover the reason for the crash in the shortest possible time frame, and to help grieving relatives. Early indications pointed to pilot error in heavy fog as a factor in the crash, officials said. Both black boxes have been found. Preliminary data indicated that the plane hit the treetops as it was making the approach to the airport in poor visibility, the ITAR-Tass news agency quoted an official with the Russian general prosecutor's office as saying.

Wide of cross surrounded by mourners at candle vigil STORYLINE: Poland's parliament speaker, who is now the acting president, declared a week of national mourning on Saturday after President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and some of the country's highest military and civilian leaders were killed when the presidential plane crashed in western Russia. Russian and Polish officials said there were no survivors on the 26-year-old Tupolev, which was taking the president, his wife and staff to events marking the 70th anniversary of the massacre in Katyn forest of thousands of Polish officers by Soviet secret police. Early indications pointed to pilot error in heavy fog as a factor in the crash, officials said. The crash devastated the upper echelons of Poland's political and military establishments. On board were the army chief of staff, the navy chief commander and heads of the air and land forces. Also killed were the national bank president, deputy foreign minister, army chaplain, head of the national security office, deputy parliament speaker, Olympic Committee head, civil rights commissioner and at least two presidential aides and three lawmakers, the Polish foreign ministry said. Poles wept before their televisions, lowered flags to half-staff and taped black ribbons in their windows after hearing that the upper echelons of the establishment lay dead in woods a short drive from the site of the Katyn forest massacre, one of Poland's greatest national traumas. Thousands of people placed candles and flowers at the presidential palace in central Warsaw. People gathered to lay flowers and light candles also in other cities across Poland as Prime Minister Donald Tusk flew to Smolensk from Warsaw. Many called the crash Poland's worst disaster since World War II. Poland has long discussed replacing the planes that carry the country's leaders but said they lacked the funds. The presidential plane was fully overhauled in December, the general director of the Aviakor aviation maintenance plant in Samara, Russia told Rossiya-24. He said there could be no doubts that the plane was flightworthy. But Polish former president, Aleksander Kwasniewski said on Saturday that the planes "should have been replaced long ago". He also said that the place of the crash played a "significant role" and called the tragedy "shocking and moving". The president's twin brother, former Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, headed to the area in a chartered plane along with relatives, according to his party. Lech Kaczynski became president in December 2005 after defeating Tusk in that year's presidential vote. The nationalist conservative had said he would seek a second term in presidential elections this autumn, though no date had been set. However, the constitution says the parliament speaker, who took on the duties of president, must announce early elections within 14 days of the president's death. The vote must be held within another 60 days. This means Poland will be holding early presidential elections before June 20. The crash also shocked Russia. Sensing the depth of the tragedy for Poland, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin personally took charge of the investigation and very quickly and publicly offered condolences, along with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Medevedev declared Monday a day of mourning in Russia. Poland called for two minutes of silence across the country Sunday and declared a week of mourning. Polish-Russian relations had been improving recently after being poisoned for decades over the massacre of some 22,000 Polish officers in and around Katyn forest. For half a century, Soviet officials claimed that the mass executions had been carried out by Nazi occupiers during the Second World War. But the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev's rule admitted in 1990 that the crimes had been committed by Stalin's NKVD secret police.

Emergency workers putting coffins on back of truck STORYLINE: Coffins containing bodies of some of the 96 people killed when the Polish presidential plane crashed in western Russia were taken to the airport in Smolensk on Saturday. Poland was in a state of mourning after President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and some of the country's highest military and civilian leaders died. The bodies were to be taken to Moscow for identification, Russian television reported. In Warsaw, Prime Minister Donald Tusk called an extraordinary meeting of his cabinet and the national flag was lowered to half-staff at the presidential palace, where people gathered to lay flowers and light candles. Tusk also led a two-minute silence at noon local time (1000 GMT) on Sunday to mourn the deaths of the 96 people on board the plane. Poland's parliament speaker, the acting president, declared a week of national mourning. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Saturday also announced a day of mourning. Russian and Polish officials said there were no survivors on the 26-year-old Tupolev, which was taking the president, his wife and staff to events marking the 70th anniversary of the massacre of thousands of Polish officers by Soviet secret police. The crash devastated the upper echelons of Poland's political and military establishments. On board were the army chief of staff, national bank president, deputy foreign minister, army chaplain, head of the national security office, deputy parliament speaker, civil rights commissioner and at least two presidential aides and three lawmakers, the Polish foreign ministry said. It was not expected to directly affect the functioning of Polish government, however: the president is commander in chief of its armed forces but the position's domestic duties are chiefly symbolic. The presidential plane was headed for a military airport, North Smolensk, located near an aviation plant, when it came down in heavy fog. A spokesman for the Smolensk regional government said Russian dispatchers had asked the crew to land in either Minsk, the capital of neighbouring Belarus, or in Moscow because of the fog but that the crew had decided otherwise. Kaczynski is the first serving Polish leader to die since exiled World War II-era leader General Wladyslaw Sikorski in a plane crash off Gibraltar in 1943. The 60-year-old became president in December 2005 after defeating Tusk in that year's presidential vote. The nationalist conservative was the twin brother of Poland's opposition leader, former Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski.

Most of that draining has been achieved, but we still have areas, for example draining ditches that are wide open, and without light at all in many cases. So, these are still highly dangerous areas." 11. NGO worker directing residents on to bus 12. Residents being led by NGO worker to bus 13. People sitting in bus 14. Convoy leaving camp STORYLINE The first earthquake-stricken residents of a sprawling tent city around the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince were moved from their temporary homes on Saturday and relocated to more permanent refugee camps on safer ground. International aid agencies, in coordination with the Haitian Government, moved 95 residents from vulnerable areas of the Petionville Golf Club, where some 45-thousand homeless refugees live in makeshift shelters, to a camp in Bois de Bouquet, north of the capital. The effort, led by the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organisation, an NGO founded in part by American actor Sean Penn, hopes to move five-thousand residents of the low-lying camp by the end of next week. But some critics in the international aid community, and independent Haitian relief groups, say the move is too little too late. The government of President Rene Preval has been warned for months by these groups of the urgency of moving refugees from low-lying areas in the capital before the beginning of the rainy season. That season is in its first stages, with heavy rain hitting the capital two nights in a row during the preceding week. On Wednesday, a windy 20-minute downpour left a half foot of water inside makeshift tents on the sloping golf course of the Petionville Club. The rains turned the camp at the golf course into a sea of viscous mud and fast running water, flooding some tents in the more vulnerable areas of the tent city. The Haitian government has been struggling to come up with a plan for the roughly 75-thousand people still living in camps at the golf course, the Champ de Mars, a central plaza in front of the destroyed Presidential Palace, and various parks and open areas around the city. Many residents say they don't want to move because they fear being isolated from family, jobs or relief aid. Some, however, are willing to make the move. "I have to go, if it's going to be better for me I have to go," said one man waiting in line to register with the J/P HRO. Belfort added he feared for his and his family's safety after the last two nights of rainfall. The re-settlement camp at Bois de Bouquet is located some 20 miles north of the capital, far from the destroyed homes of the residents of the camp in Petionville. But it has potable water, the ground has been graded to avoid flooding, layered with gravel to allow water to drain, sanitation and more sturdy living quarters. Although those conditions are far better than the ones these people currently live in, experts say the new camp is vulnerable to tropical storms, or worse, hurricanes, leaving the problem of solving the housing crisis for so many people a major challenge for the Haitian government.

Bells tolling at St. Peter's Basilica CTV - AP CLIENTS ONLY Vatican City - 4 April 2010 16. Top shot St. Peter's square filled with pilgrims STORYLINE A woman who has alleged in a lawsuit that former California priest Stephen Kiesle sexually abused her as a child reacted angrily on Saturday to a 1985 letter signed by then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, that cited concerns about the effect that removing the priest would have on "the good of the universal church." Church files obtained exclusively by the Associated Press show that before becoming Pope, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger resisted defrocking a San Francisco Bay-area priest who molested children. The correspondence is the strongest challenge yet to the Vatican's insistence that Pope Benedict XVI played no role in blocking the removal of paedophile priests during his years as head of the Catholic Church's doctrinal watchdog office. The letter, signed by Ratzinger, was typed in Latin and is part of years of correspondence between the Diocese of Oakland in California and the Vatican about the proposed defrocking of the Reverend Stephen Kiesle. The woman said it seemed the Vatican was more concerned with the scandal than protecting children. She identified herself by her first name only, Anne, during a news conference in San Diego with her attorney. The Associated Press generally does not identify victims of alleged sexual abuse, however, Anne has chosen to speak publicly about her experience. On Saturday, she pleaded to the Pope: "Do the right thing, for once. Please. The whole world is watching. I'm watching. And if you want any chance at saving the Catholic church you need to do something and you need to do it now." She said Kiesle allegedly abused her at the age of seven at a church in the Oakland diocese. "This guy is a monster, a serial predator," Anne said. "I am at a loss as to how anybody could find any part of that whether canon law, judicial law, any type of law, how they could find that in any way acceptable." "I can't go into what he did to me, because it literally makes me physically ill. What I can say is use your imagination and I guarantee you it is worse than anything you can imagine," she added. Even in his seminary days in the early 1970s, there were questions about Kiesle. Colleagues said he had trouble relating to adults, lacked spirituality and didn't seem committed to anything but youth ministry. Those colleagues, who helped make the case to the Vatican in 1981 seeking to let him leave the priesthood, said they were concerned before Kiesle was ordained, and more so after revelations Kiesle had molested children in his parish. Still, future Pope Benedict XVI resisted pleas from the diocese to act on the case, according to a 1985 letter in Latin obtained by The Associated Press that bore his signature as then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. It would take another two years before the Vatican doctrine watchdog office headed by Ratzinger would approve Kiesle's own request to leave the priesthood in 1987. Vatican attorney Jeffrey Lena said the matter proceeded "expeditiously, not by modern standards, but by those standards at the time." Kiesle pleaded no contest in 1978 to lewd conduct for tying up and molesting two boys and was sentenced to three years probation. He took a leave of absence from his parish position, and in 1981 returned and asked the Oakland bishop to be laicised, or removed from the priesthood. In building a case to laicise Kiesle, the Reverend George Mockel of the Oakland Diocese asked priests who had worked with Kiesle to share their opinions of his time in seminary and work in the priesthood after being ordained in 1972. California church officials wrote to Ratzinger at least three times to check on the status of Kiesle's case. John Cummins, former bishop in the Diocese of Oakland, discussed the case with officials during a Vatican visit, according to correspondence obtained by AP. At one point, a Vatican official wrote to say the file may have been lost and suggested resubmitting materials. As Kiesle's fate was being weighed in Rome, the priest returned to suburban Pinole to volunteer as a youth minister at St. Joseph Church. He was eventually defrocked in 1987. Kiesle, who married after leaving the priesthood, was arrested and charged in 2002 with 13 counts of child molestation from the 1970s. All but two were thrown out after the US Supreme Court struck down a California law extending the statute of limitations. He pleaded no contest in 2004 to a felony for molesting a young girl in his home in 1995 and was sentenced to six years in state prison. Now 63 and a registered sex offender, Kiesle lives in a Walnut Creek gated community, according to his address listed on a sex offender registry. An AP reporter was turned away when attempting to reach him. William Gagen, an attorney who represented Kiesle in 2002, has not returned repeated calls seeking comment. More than a half-dozen victims reached a settlement in 2005 with the Oakland diocese alleging Kiesle had molested them as young children. Only the Vatican can approve removing someone from the priesthood, whether it is requested by the priest or his superiors. At the time of Kiesle's petition, a variety of Vatican offices handled them. In 2001, Ratzinger required all cases involving abuse claims to go through his office, streamlining the process. Cummins said he believed Ratzinger was following what was the practice of the time, and "that the Pope John Paul was slowing these things down." In the November 1985 letter, Ratzinger says the arguments for removing Kiesle were of "grave significance" but such actions required very careful review and more time. Lena, the Vatican attorney, said Ratzinger's instruction to offer Kiesle "paternal care" was a way of telling the bishop he was responsible for keeping Kiesle out of trouble. Lena said Kiesle was not accused of any child abuse in the five years it took for the Vatican to act on the laicisation. A Vatican spokesman, the Reverend Ciro Benedettini, said the letter showed no attempt at a cover up.

Relatives of dead protester crying over body STORYLINE: A crackdown on anti-government protesters in Thailand's capital on Saturday left at least 15 people dead and more than 650 injured, with no progress toward ending a monthlong standoff with demonstrators demanding new elections. It was the worst violence in Bangkok since more than four dozen people were killed in an antimilitary protest in 1992. Bullet casings, rocks and pools of blood littered the streets where pitched battles raged for hours. Army troops later retreated and asked protesters to do the same, resulting in an unofficial truce. Four soldiers and 11 civilians, including a Japanese cameraman, were killed, according to the government's Erawan emergency centre. The fighting erupted after security forces tried to push out demonstrators who have been staging a month of disruptive protests demanding that Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajva dissolve Parliament and call new elections. The demonstrations are part of a long-running battle between the mostly poor and rural supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and the ruling elite they say orchestrated the 2006 military coup that removed him from power on corruption allegations. The protesters, called "Red Shirts" for their garb, see the Oxford-educated Abhisit as a symbol of an elite impervious to the plight of Thailand's poor and claim he took office illegitimately in December 2008 after the military pressured Parliament to vote for him. Saturday's violence and failure to dislodge the protesters are likely to make it harder to end the political deadlock. Previously, both sides had exercised considerable restraint. Abhisit went on national television shortly before midnight to pay condolences to the families of victims and indirectly assert that he would not bow to the protesters' demands. "I want to show my regret to the people, for the loss that happened today, especially to the families of those who were killed in this incident tonight," Abhisit said. The army had vowed to clear the protesters out of one of their two bases in Bangkok by nightfall, but the push instead set off street fighting. There was a continuous sound of gunfire and explosions, mostly from Molotov cocktails. After more than two hours of fierce clashes, the soldiers pulled back. Army spokesman Col. Sansern Kaewkamnerd went on television to ask the protesters to retreat as well. He also accused them of firing live rounds and throwing grenades. An APTN cameraman saw two Red Shirt security guards carrying assault rifles. At least 678 people were injured, according to the Erawan emergency centre. The deaths included Japanese cameraman Hiro Muramoto, who worked for Thomson Reuters news agency. In a statement, Reuters said he was shot in the chest. A Thai photojournalist, Vinai Ditajohn, was shot in the leg, seemingly by a live round. "The inside wound is very small, the outside wound is very big, theoretically it should be a bullet," doctor Pijaya Nagavajara said. Most of the fighting took place around Democracy Monument, but spread to the Khao San Road area, a favourite of foreign backpackers. Soldiers made repeated charges to clear the Red Shirts, while some tourists stood by watching. Two protesters and a Buddhist monk with them were badly beaten by soldiers and taken away by ambulance. A Japanese tourist who was wearing a red shirt was also clubbed by soldiers until bystanders rescued him. Thai media reported that several soldiers were captured by the protesters. Red Shirts also staged protests in several other provinces, seizing the provincial hall in the northern city of Chiang Mai, Thaksin's hometown. On Friday, the police and army failed to prevent demonstrators from breaking into the compound of a satellite transmission station and briefly restarting a pro-Red Shirt television station that had been shut down by the government under a state of emergency. The humiliating rout raised questions about how much control Abhisit has over the police and army. Arrest warrants have been issued for 27 Red Shirt leaders, but none is known to have been taken into custody.

Zoom out from Amaury Perez, a Cuban singer, singing and saying "Viva Cuba" 8. Wide of the venue and audience 9. Mid of people leaving STORYLINE A surprisingly small crowd sang along to performances by top Cuban rock, folks and salsa stars on Saturday, in what the Communist government had billed as a politically important "concert for the homeland." State-controlled media said the concert would prove Cuba's artists and intellectuals supported the government. But instead of the thousands who usually jam the plaza for free concerts, the crowd number was estimated at 1,400. Organisers had said the show would be headlined by Cuba's most famous folk singer, Silvio Rodriguez. But instead, the pro-Castro government activist made fans wait for an hour in the unrelenting afternoon heat before reading a letter defending the single-party Communist system with a series of questions. Rodriguez denounced Washington's 48-year-old trade embargo against Cuba, which officials blame for nearly all the country's problems. The 63-year-old singer then left, replaced by other artists of the group "Nueva Trova," who mix folk music and pro-Castro politics. President Raul Castro has led Cuba since the rule of his brother Fidel Castro from 1959 to 2008. Many in the audience drifted away, missing later performances by other top musicians and bands, as well as poetry read by Cuban film stars. The show was staged amidst international criticism over Cuba's human rights record, which the Cuban state-run media claimed was led by governments in the US and Europe to demonise Cuba. International pressure on Cuba regarding human rights mounted after the death in February of dissident Orlando Zapata Tamayo, the first Cuban opposition figure in nearly four decades to die after refusing food. The concert was held at the "Anti-imperialist Plaza," an open-air amphitheatre built beside the so-called "US Interests Section," which Washington operates instead of an embassy in Havana. The US and Cuba have no formal diplomatic relations. Cuban artists also staged a "Concert for the Homeland" in Santiago de Cuba to reaffirm the right of Cubans to defend their sovereignty.
