Mid of demonstrators writing graffiti on Davos banner 13. Wide of riot police at road block STORYLINE About 100 protesters demonstrated on Saturday against the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos in the Swiss Alps. Protesters tried to bring down a fence surrounding the venue hosting the meeting and threw snowballs at riot police. The protest, organised by anti-capitalist groups, the local Green Party and socialist movement, made its way to a hotel where some high-level guests were staying. Police used water cannons to try and disperse the demonstrators. "We are convinced that the people from the WEF really can't improve the state of the world," local Green Party member Rolf Marouk said. Top politicians and business leaders have been converging on the Alpine resort for five-days of talks including boosting the recovery of the global market and tackling the thorny issue of government plans to tighten banking regulations. On Saturday, government regulators from the United States and Europe laid out their financial reform plans before a sceptical banking industry, asking financiers for input but adamant that change was coming with or without their support. The meeting came after days of tension over US government plans for stricter controls on the financial industry to limit speculation and avoid a repeat of the 2008 meltdown that plunged the world into recession. Bankers have protested the new proposals, saying the US and other countries risk choking off a gradual economic recovery with regulation they see as heavy-handed.

I want to compliment the Obama administration for agreeing to these arms sales. I think people of Taiwan are seeking to reconcile with mainland China but not through the threat of invasion at the force of a gun, and my commitment to the Taiwanese people is not going to change because of mainland China's action here." 5.

Graham, Republican, South Carolina: "As we do business together, as we try to form partnerships and relationships the one thing that China needs to understand is that you can't be a good partner unless you're honest with each other. So my call is for the Chinese government to stop monitoring the internet, human right abuses abound in China, and stop trying to reconcile through the force of arms with the threat of invasion with Taiwan." 7. Wide of Graham with officials STORYLINE: China suspended military exchanges with the United States, threatened unprecedented sanctions against American defence companies and warned on Saturday that cooperation would suffer after Washington announced 6.4 (b) billion dollars in planned arms sales to Taiwan. The response to Friday's US announcement, while not entirely unexpected, was swift and indicated that China plans to put up a greater challenge than usual as it deals with the most sensitive topic in US-China relations. US Republican Senator Lindsey O. Graham, who has worked on US-Chinese trade agreements, was in Davos for the World Economic Forum on Saturday. He reacted to the Chinese response saying: "I want to compliment the Obama administration for agreeing to these arms sales. I think people of Taiwan are seeking to reconcile with mainland China but not through the threat of invasion at the force of a gun, and my commitment to the Taiwanese people is not going to change because of mainland China's action here." China's Defence Ministry said the arms sales to self-governing Taiwan, which the mainland claims as its own, cause "severe harm" to overall U.S.-China cooperation, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported. Tensions were already high after recent US comments on internet freedom and a dispute between Google and China, as well as President Barack Obama's plan to meet with Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama this year. Graham said: "As we do business together, as we try to form partnerships and relationships the one thing that China needs to understand is that you can't be a good partner unless you're honest with each other. So my call is for the Chinese government to stop monitoring the internet, human right abuses abound in China, and stop trying to reconcile through the force of arms with the threat of invasion with Taiwan." The United States is Taiwan's most important ally and largest arms supplier, and it's bound by law to ensure the island is able to respond to Chinese threats. China responds angrily to any proposed arms sales, however, and it also cut off military ties with the US in 2008 after the former Bush administration announced a multi-billion dollar arms sale to Taiwan. A similar cut-off of military ties was expected this time, but it comes as Washington and Beijing wanted to improve normally frosty relations between their armed forces. The US has tried to use military visits to build trust with Beijing and learn more about the aims of its massive military build-up. Though Taiwan's ties with China have warmed considerably since Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou took office 20 months ago, Beijing has threatened to invade if the island ever formalises its de facto independence.

I don't mean so much over-regulation, I'm really concerned - is it really a level playing field? And we are concerned that in the guise regulation there shouldn't be financial protection. Definitely there will be some deal averaging, as long as it's not a built-in bias against developing countries - we don't have problem." 9. Woman posing with Zakumi, the official 2010 World Cup mascot STORYLINE: International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn on Saturday said that financial sector reforms should be bold but handled in close cooperation so that no countries suffer as a result. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos he said: "as far as the reform of the financial sector is concerned, we must accelerate and go further, not just for the banks, but also the rest of the financial sector. We have proposed a method of taxing the financial system, so to make it contribute to the risks being taken collectivity." It's hoped tighter regulation of the financial sector could in turn stimulate overall economic confidence. But Indian Planning commission chief Montek S Ahluwaliha was concerned to ensure a level playing field was created and that regulation should not mean financial protection and it did not squeeze developing countries. The IMF chief and the Indian official spoke following a Davos debate on the global economic outlook from which French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde emerged in confident mood to speak about "growth everywhere, certainly much stronger in the emerging countries." China's path, she said,"has been obvious in this domain, growth in Europe of course (is)much more fragile, France (is) doing a bit better then others."

We're all ready to take on a certain change of strategy and therefore we're thankful for additional capacity which we are getting in the North.

Wide pan of WEF main congress hall STORYLINE: German Defence Minister, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg on Saturday insisted the plan to increase the number of German troops in Afghanistan corresponds with the numbers demanded by the country's top military. Speaking ahead of his appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, zu Guttenberg said: "The fact that there are wild numbers being bandied about ahead of the conference is understandable, but it is also understandable that in the end, the number is the one suggested by the military leadership and the ministry." Earlier this week, Germany pledged to increase its troop contingent in Afghanistan by up to 850 and focus more strongly on training local security forces. Germany has nearly 4,300 soldiers in Afghanistan. They serve under a parliamentary mandate that currently sets the maximum number at 4,500. German Chancellor Angela Merkel did not specify what the new upper limit might be. Zu Guttenberg also commented on the apparent planned deployment of US soldiers in northern Afghanistan, where German troops are operating. "That is not a sign of a lack of trust, but of its existence, because these troops will be placed under German command." "It is important we continue to act together in Afghanistan. It is a mission for the international community. We're all ready to take on a certain change of strategy and therefore we're thankful for additional capacity which we are getting in the North. We need to be successful in Afghanistan together and not point fingers at each other," he said.

Wide of hospital ward STORYLINE A suicide bomber killed 16 people on Saturday at a police checkpoint in a northwest Pakistani tribal area where the military declared victory over the Taliban and al-Qaida last year, highlighting the difficulty Islamabad has in holding regions once the battle phase of its army offensives end. Fourteen civilians and two police officers died in the suicide attack in the Bajur tribal region, while 20 people were wounded, local government official Bakhat Pacha said. The attacker, on foot, struck a market area in the region's main town, Khar, he said. Some of the wounded were in a critical condition at hospitals, the official added. Three of the injured; one man and two children were rushed to Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar. One man, standing by his child's bedside, said his son had gone to the market to buy oil when he was hurt in the explosion. The attack came a day after officials said security forces had killed 44 militants in three days of battles on the outskirts of Khar. Pakistan waged a major military offensive against Taliban and al-Qaida insurgents in Bajur in 2008, declaring victory over the militants by February 2009. But in recent weeks, clashes and now this latest suicide attack have signalled a deteriorating security situation in the area.

Wide of American military vehicle at the site STORYLINE: Four Afghan soldiers died in an apparent friendly fire incident between NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) and Afghan troops on Saturday at a snow-covered highway outpost, United States and Afghan officials said. The incident began about 3 a.m. local time on Saturday (2230 GMT Friday) in the eastern Wardak province, when a joint NATO-Afghan force traded fire with another Afghan unit manning the outpost, Afghanistan's Defence Ministry said. NATO troops then called in an airstrike, killing the four Afghans, NATO and the Afghan ministry said. Neither group confirmed the nationality of the NATO soldiers. Footage of the aftermath showed American armoured vehicles in the area, about half a mile (one kilometre) from the hilltop outpost. The snow outside the fortified compound was blackened by the airstrike. Afghanistan's Defence Ministry condemned the incident and demanded punishment for those responsible. NATO called it a "regrettable incident" and announced an investigation. NATO said they were shot at first, prompting the joint force to return fire before calling in the airstrike. Afghan provincial officials said the fighting was due to a misunderstanding as the joint NATO-Afghan force returned from an operation in the Sayed Abad district. Provincial spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said seven Afghan soldiers had been wounded. A local man said eight had been wounded. The conflicting casualty tolls could not immediately be reconciled. The deaths are likely to strain relations between NATO and Afghan forces at a time when both are calling for a closer partnership in the fight against the Taliban. In a separate incident in Wardak province, a NATO official said an Afghan interpreter killed two US service members before he was killed himself at a combat outpost. The new details emerged on Saturday, a day after the deaths were announced in a brief statement. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorised to release the information. First reports indicated three Americans were killed but the official said one of the dead was an Afghan.

Various of conference STORYLINE: The Iranian president Saturday lambasted the West and claimed Iran was the strongest nation in the world, as the Iranian leadership intensifies its campaign to eliminate the challenge from the pro-reform opposition movement, despite international condemnation. Speaking at a conference in Tehran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the West's "materialistic system and dominant system has reached the end of the road, both theoretically and practically." "Without any doubt, today the Iranian nation is the strongest, most powerful and most important nation of the world," he added. The president also said that Iran would have the "final word" in the Middle East, expanding the comment further by saying, "anybody who has the final say here, would also have the last say in the world." The sharp rhetoric came days after two men caught up in the government's post-election crackdown were executed. Mohammad Reza Ali Zamani, 37, and Arash Rahmanipour, 20 were arrested before the June 12 election on charges of belonging to an armed group aiming to topple the government. But they were put on the same mass trial as around 100 opposition activists, protesters and politicians who were arrested in the post-election crackdown. Hard-liners have called for the trial and execution of Iran's opposition leaders including Mir Hossein Mousavi and former reformist president Mohammad Khatami and former parliamentary speaker Mahdi Karroubi. Hundreds have been arrested in the heavy crackdown by security forces against opposition protests, but activists have continued to hold sporadic, large street rallies. The opposition says President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's victory in the June election was fraudulent and call for his removal - though some in the movement have expanded to criticise Iran's clerical leadership.

Wide pan of courtroom 2. Pan of courtroom 3. Lawyers 4. Wide pan of courtroom 5. Pull out from judge to wide of trial 6. Back of defendant and prosecutor at podium and reverse shot of one defendant 7. Wide pan of courtroom STORYLINE Iran put 16 people allegedly detained during anti-government protests last month on trial on Saturday on charges of rioting and conspiring against the ruling system, Iran's state media reported. The official IRNA news agency and state Press TV said the defendants, who appeared in a Tehran courtroom, face charges ranging from plotting against the establishment to violating security regulations. Five of those on trial, including two women, were accused of "moharebeh," or defying God, a charge that could carry the death penalty, the semi-official ISNA news agency reported. IRNA said all of the defendants were detained during anti-government demonstrations on December 27, when at least eight people were killed and hundreds more were arrested after clashes between opposition activists and security forces. The violence was the worst since authorities launched a harsh crackdown immediately after Iran's disputed presidential election in June. IRNA quoted a prosecutor identified only by the last name of Farahani as saying in court that the defendants have confessed to spying, planning bomb attacks and damaging public and private properties. He also said the defendants sent videos on the clashes between protesters and Iranian police to the "foreign hostile networks," IRNA reported. During past mass trials in Iran, many Western human rights group have cautioned that detainees in Iran have made confessions under coercion from the authorities. The new trial comes amid a sweeping crackdown by Iran's clerical leaders against opposition activists in a bid to crush the challenge that has emerged to their rule in the wake of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election in June. The hardline government has tried more than 100 political activists since August, sentencing more than 80 people to prison terms and handing down 11 death sentences. The trial also comes days after the authorities hanged two men who had been convicted of belonging to "counter-revolutionary and monarchist groups," plotting to overthrow "the Islamic establishment" and planning assassinations and bombings. The men were arrested months before the election. But they were put on the same mass trial as around 100 opposition activists, protesters and politicians who were arrested in the post-election crackdown - an attempt by the leadership to show that the political opposition is in league with violent armed groups in a foreign-backed plot to overthrow the Islamic system. Despite the crackdown, opposition activists have continued to hold sporadic, large street rallies. The opposition says President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's victory in the June election was fraudulent and call for his removal - though some in the movement have expanded to criticise Iran's clerical leadership.

Various of campers and tents at biker weekend in mountains near Munich 24. Close of biker dressed in Viking helmet STORYLINE Heavy snow and high winds have caused traffic chaos in Germany, leaving three people dead and dozens more injured. Police said one person was killed and more than 40 injured in over 300 accidents on Friday night and Saturday in the northwestern state of North Rhine-Wesphalia alone. Two other people were killed in separate accidents on slick roads in the southern state of Bavaria. In the northern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania public transit was shut down in the city of Rostock as the area was hit with 12 inches (30 centimetres) of snow overnight and high winds. The conditions caused long traffic jams on many highways, the closure of others, and flight delays and cancellations. However the weather couldn't stop some intrepid Germans who refused to give up on their weekend activities. In Hamburg hundreds of families came out to skate and sled on the now frozen Alster Lake, a once in a decade phenomenon according to forecasters. In Bavaria nearly 1700 swimmers turned out at the Donau river as they braved the ice cold waters to take part in the 'Neuburger Donauschwimmen' event. While in nearby Thurmansbang, campers tented out in thick snow as the German Motorcyclist Federation welcomed bikers from all over Europe to the traditional 'Elefantentreffen' in the middle, of a now frozen, Bavarian forest.
