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.

Close-up of UK delegation walking out on Ahmadinejad speech 11. Close-up of United States delegation walking out on Ahmadinejad speech 12. Close-up of empty France delegation chair STORYLINE: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday rejected allegations his country is developing nuclear weapons, saying there was no credible proof to that effect. In the first day of a monthlong conference reviewing the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), the Iranian leader dismissed allegations that his country's uranium enrichment programme is designed to produce a bomb, prompting the US and other nations to call for sanctions. He referred to the new US Nuclear Posture Review's provision retaining an option to use US atomic arms against countries not in compliance with the non-proliferation pact, a charge Washington lays against Iran. As the Iranian president spoke, the US delegation, of working-level staff, walked out of the General Assembly hall. Ahmadinejad is the only head of state participating in the conference. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, opening the conference, directly challenged Tehran. "I encourage Iran to accept the nuclear fuel supply proposal put forward by the agency, this would be an important confidence building measure," he said, He called on the Tehran government "to fully comply with Security Council resolutions" demanding that it halt enrichment, which Washington and others contend is meant to produce the nuclear fuel for bombs in violation of Iran's NPT obligations. Ahmadinejad later bandied the demands of the Secretary-General by saying Iran had already agreed to the fuel programme. "I would like to tell you and inform him as well that we have accepted that from the start and I would like to announce once again that to us that is an accepted deal. Therefore we have now thrown the ball in the court of those who should accept our proposal and embark on cooperation with us," he said. Although Ahmadinejad's presence meant the first-day agenda was dominated by the Iran issue, it was only the beginning of a four-week diplomatic marathon meant to produce a consensus final document pointing toward ways to better achieve the NPT's goals of checking the spread of nuclear weapons, while working toward reducing and eventually eliminating them. The treaty is regarded as the world's single most important pact on nuclear arms, credited with preventing their proliferation to dozens of nations since it entered into force in 1970. It was a grand global bargain: Nations without nuclear weapons committed not to acquire them; those with them committed to move toward their elimination; and all endorsed everyone's right to develop peaceful nuclear energy. The 189 treaty members gather every five years to discuss new approaches to problems, by agreeing, for example, that the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN nuclear inspection agency, should be strengthened. The only countries that are not treaty members are India, Pakistan, North Korea, all of which have nuclear arsenals or weapons programmes, and Israel, which has an unacknowledged nuclear arsenal.

Mid of people at Continental counter 16. Mid of United sign STORYLINE: United Airlines has agreed to buy Continental in a three (b) billion-plus dollar deal that would create the world's largest carrier. The new United would surpass Delta Air Lines in size, which should help it attract more high-fare business travellers. It will fly to 370 destinations in 59 countries. The companies insisted the deal is a merger of equals. But United shareholders will hold a majority stake, the airline will be based in United's hometown of Chicago and it will be called United. It would be run by current Continental CEO Jeffery Smisek, however. United CEO Glenn Tilton, a longtime advocate of consolidation in the airline industry, will be non-executive chairman for up to two years before Smisek adds the chairman title. The new parent company will be called United Continental Holdings Inc. and have about 29 (b) billion dollars in annual revenue based on 2009 results and 7.4 (b) billion dollars in unrestricted cash. The airlines said combining would save them one (b) billion dollars to 1.2 (b) billion dollars a year by 2013, including between 800 (m) million dollars and 900 (m) million dollars in new yearly revenue. The deal would create a giant with major hubs in key domestic markets including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and San Francisco and an international network stretching from Shanghai to South America. It will leave three big US airlines with major international routes - the new United, Delta and American Airlines, with US Airways a distant fourth. United is the third-largest US carrier by traffic, while Continental Airlines is No. 4. Shares of both companies rose in morning trading Monday. United parent UAL Corp. shares rose 39 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $21.99, while Continental shares rose 25 cents, or 1.1 percent, to 22.60 dollars. Wall Street has pushed consolidation as a way to let airlines raise fares by reducing the number of flights and seats. Antitrust regulators are likely to scrutinise the deal for its effect on fares, but Smisek and Tilton said even a larger United won't have power to boost prices because other carriers might undercut them. "The synergies that we have projected for the combined company have no airfare increases whatsoever," Smisek said. Two years ago, Continental walked away from a deal with United at the last moment. Smisek said in an interview that times had changed since 2008, when both airlines were low on cash and facing record fuel costs. Continental shareholders will get 1.05 UAL shares in exchange for each Continental share. The two carriers are similar in size. As of Friday's closing stock prices, UAL's had a stock market value of 3.6 (b) billion dollars, while Continental's was 3.1 (b) billion dollars. The companies expect to close the deal in the fourth quarter, with approval needed from shareholders and regulators. The deal came together in just three weeks after reports surfaced that United was in discussions with US Airways, the nation's No. 6 airline. Labour issues have often been messy in airline consolidation. Smisek and Tilton said they had briefed their unions on the deal. Both companies said their boards had approved the transaction unanimously, which would include a labour representative on the UAL board. Pilots at both airlines are represented by the Air Line Pilots Association. People briefed on the negotiations said the two groups have not started negotiations on a joint contract. The machinists' union, which represents 16,000 workers at United and more than 10,000 Continental employees, said it was concerned about the impact of the deal on pensions, benefits and job security. Both United and Continental have been losing money first due to higher fuel costs, then a recession. Last year, UAL lost 651 (m) million US dollars, while Continental lost 282 (m) million. Revenue plunged 19.1 percent at UAL and 17.4 percent at Continental. They have eliminated flights to meet the new, lower demand - United cut capacity 7.4 percent last year, and Continental shrank 5.2 percent.

Cutaway of journalists 13. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Faraj al-Haidari, IHEC chief: "The electoral commission's measures are according to the decision of the review panel. The decision of the review panel stressed the necessity of conducting the recount in the polling stations in which votes were discarded and not only in the disputed stations but all over Baghdad." 14. Various of news conference STORYLINE Iraqi election officials have argued publicly with supporters of the prime minister who demanded a halt to a partial recount of votes just as the process got under way. The recount of 2.5 (m) million votes cast March 7 in the capital Baghdad was ordered at the request of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who narrowly lost to former prime minister Ayad Allawi with heavy Sunni support. It has further delayed the formation of a government. Al-Maliki demanded recounts in five provinces and got one in Baghdad, which started Monday morning. But about an hour after it began, representatives of the prime minister's State of Law coalition arrived at the Rasheed Hotel in the walled-off Green Zone where the recount was in progress and demanded publicly at a news conference that it be halted. The coalition complained the commission wasn't conducting the recount properly by not reopening voter records and checking voter signatures against ballots. State of Law official and Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani also charged that election commission officials had manipulated the votes and demanded they be held accountable. Election officials dismissed the charge, and the recount continued uninterrupted after the argument. Election commission chief Faraj al-Haidari and al-Shahristani raised their voices and wagged fingers at each other as journalists crowded around. State TV cut their live transmission of the event but the spat continued off-camera just a few yards from where the recount was taking place, with bodyguards trying to keep journalists away from the officials. No party won a clear parliamentary majority in the election, and more than a month of haggling among political factions has not produced any clear indication of how a ruling coalition might look. Al-Maliki has vociferously challenged the results which gave him 89 of 325 seats in parliament, trailing close behind Allawi's bloc with 91 seats. On Monday, al-Maliki held talks with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani in Baghdad. "It (the meeting) is a step on the path of accelerating the formation of the next government," al-Maliki told reporters after the meeting. If the recount alters the results, it could infuriate Iraq's once-dominant Sunni Arab minority, which is already wary of al-Maliki's Shiite-led government and what they see as efforts to steal the election. The United Nations, the US Embassy, and the Arab League as well as Iraqi election officials have all declared the election free of systematic fraud. The United Nations representative in Iraq, Ad Melkert, called the recount process professional and urged people to be patient while it is carried out.

STILL - Close-up of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il getting into car STORYLINE: Reclusive North Korean leader Kim Jong Il visited neighbouring China on Monday, reportedly arriving by a luxury 17-car train reports said. Japan's NHK filmed Kim getting into a car at a hotel in the northern port city of Dalian, the broadcaster reported. Earlier in the day, Kim's special armoured train arrived to a phalanx of soldiers and police in the Chinese border town of Dandong, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said. Kim is known to shun air travel. It is his first journey abroad in years as his regime faces a worsening economy and speculation it may have torpedoed a South Korean warship. Kim met local Dandong leaders before moving on, the Hong Kong-based Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy said in a release, citing sources in the border town who claimed they saw the North Korean leader. The train then headed to Dalian, the Yonhap news agency said. A convoy of 15 limousines was seen arriving at the city's five-star Furama Hotel, the report said, citing unidentified sources in Dandong and Beijing. Kyodo News agency, citing unidentified sources knowledgeable about China-North Korea relations, also said Kim and his party were seen at the hotel. A switchboard operator at the hotel, where the presidential suite runs more than 2,100 dollars a night, told The Associated Press that security had been tightened but she would not say whether Kim was expected. Kim's visit comes at an awkward time for Beijing. The Chinese leadership has been trying to get Kim to agree to return to six-nation nuclear disarmament talks stalled now for a year, and believed that it had won the North Korean dictator's assent last October. Since then, however, prospects for negotiations have dimmed. Pyongyang has been unwilling to comply with requests from the US to resume the talks, and tensions have risen between North Korea and South Korea, partly over the mysterious ship sinking in late March in which 46 sailors were killed. Rumours of a Kim trip, the first since one to China in 2006 and since the 68-year-old leader reportedly suffered a stroke in 2008, have circulated for months since Chinese President Hu Jintao invited the notoriously reclusive leader for a visit to mark the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the allies.

Things are tight enough as it is, fuel prices are already high. How much money they have to eat out with, this is an area where we depend on the Gulf." Longbeach, Mississippi, 3 March 2010 9. Various of US Environmental Services workers cleaning oil off beach 10. Wide of workers on beach 11. Various of bags full of oil being loaded onto US Environmental Services truck, truck drives away STORYLINE: BP PLC said on Monday it will pay for all the cleanup costs from a ruptured oil well in the Gulf of Mexico that could continue spewing crude for at least another week. The announcement came as officials with the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies continued to find dead turtles on Mississippi beaches on Monday. They were taken away for examination to determine whether oil was a factor in their deaths. Necropsies have been completed on five of the 25 dead sea turtles that have been found in the past few days along Mississippi beaches with no evidence of oil found, said Brian Gorman of the National Marine Fisheries Service, which is overseeing the procedures being done in Gulfport. At least six of the 25 turtles are the endangered Kemp's Ridley, which breed nowhere else in the world but on beaches in Mexico and southern Texas, and are considered among the most imperiled turtle species. The oil spill has rattled fishermen as well as business-owners along the Mississippi Delta. On Sunday, fishermen from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Florida Panhandle got the news that more than 6,800 square miles of federal fishing areas were closed, fracturing their livelihood for at least 10 days and likely more as the prime spring season was kicking in. "We don't know how bad it's going and whatever it impact it has on us, financially it's going to hurt us," Gus Harris, the owner of Cajun Crawfish Restaurant, said In Gulfport, Mississippi. Meanwhile, workers shovelled oil into large trash bags on Longbeach, Mississippi. BP posted a fact sheet on its website saying it took responsibility for the response to the Deepwater Horizon spill and would pay compensation for legitimate claims for property damage, personal injury and commercial losses. BP's CEP said chemical dispersants put into the sea seem to be having a significant impact in keeping oil from flowing to the surface, though he did not elaborate. The update on the dispersants came as BP was preparing a system never tried nearly a mile (1.6 kilometres) under water to siphon away the geyser of crude from a blown-out well. However, the plan to lower 74-ton, concrete-and-metal boxes being built to capture the oil and siphon it to a barge waiting at the surface will need at least another six to eight days to get it in place. That could spill at least another (m) million gallons (3.8 million litres) into the Gulf, on top of the roughly 2.6 (m) million gallons (9.8 million litres) already estimated to have spilled since the April 20 blast. Those numbers are based on the Coast Guard's estimates that 200-thousand gallons (757,060 litres) a day are spilling out, though officials have cautioned it's impossible to know exactly how much is leaking. By comparison, the tanker Exxon Valdez spilled 11 (m) million gallons (42 million litres) off the Alaska coast in 1989. Officials also were trying to cap one of three leaks to make it easier to place the first box on the sea floor. Crews continued to lay boom to try to keep the spill from reaching the shore, though choppy seas have made that difficult and rendered much of the oil-corralling gear useless.

Various of people demonstrating and holding protest banner, being stopped by police next to presidential palace STORYLINE: Members of Greece's military marched through Athens on Monday in a show of protest against the austerity measures announced by the government. Greece announced more austerity measures on Sunday worth 40 (b) billion dollars through 2012 - including public service and pension pay cuts, higher taxes and a more streamlined government. The measures are expected to exacerbate its recession, but a massive rescue plan announced at the weekend will include 13.3 (b) billion dollars for a "stabilisation fund" to support Greek banks. Garbage workers also demonstrated, driving their trucks through the streets of the Greek capital. About 1,000 garbage collectors and other striking municipal workers marched to the Greek parliament chanting "trash for parliament, not the landfill!" "They deceived us. They didn't tell us all this from the start. George (Papandreou) was telling us he would do one thing and he did another. He sold us out," said one municipal worker. A number of demonstrations against Greece's austerity measures have been taking place over the weekend. The tough measures enabled the country to secure the loans from the European Union (EU) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Unions have protested sharply, but Prime Minister George Papandreou insists the new measures are vital for Greece's financial survival. "It is in our hands to make this crisis an opportunity," Papandreou said on Monday after meeting with the country's president, Karolos Papoulias. Left Coalition party leader Alexis Tsipras also met with Papoulias and later called for a referendum on the measures. "We deem there is an alternative route, there is an alternate perspective," Tsipras told reporters. Greek labour unions and opposition parties reacted angrily to the new austerity package, accusing the government of breaking a pledge not to impose any further cuts after previous measures were announced in March. Unions are planning a general strike on Wednesday.

Activists chanting outside embassy STORYLINE Kosovo marked World Press Freedom Day on Monday with the unveiling of a memorial dedicated to Kerem Lawton, a producer for Associated Press Television News, killed in Kosovo in 2001. Lawton died when a mortar shell slammed into his vehicle as he was covering border fighting between ethnic Albanian rebels and Macedonian government forces. Both the Macedonian army and the rebel National Liberation Army denied responsibility for the attack and a subsequent NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) investigation failed to determine who was responsible. "Today's unveiling ? symbolises not only the enormous sacrifice but also the tireless work of journalists around the world," said Shyqri Halabaku, president of the Kerem Lawton Journalist's Club, that initiated the project in the municipality of Vitina, an area bordering Macedonia. The unveiling was attended by Lawton's father, John and Sandy MacIntyre, director of AP television's international news operations in London. Over 1,500 journalists have died while covering stories in the last 14 years, according to International News Safety Institute (INSI) a group of news organisations, journalists and individuals committed to improving safety for media staff working in dangerous environments. Forty-two journalists have been killed during 2010 alone, according to an April 28 INSI press release. At least 27 of those deaths were confirmed to be connected with the victims' work as journalists, the press release said. Most of the journalists were killed while covering corruption, crime and unrest in their home countries, INSI said on its website (www.newssafety.org). Most of the cases remain unresolved. Meanwhile, in Paris, a group of activists from Reporters Sans Frontieres (Reporters Without Borders) marked World Press Day by throwing balls made of newspapers into the courtyard of the Iranian embassy. RSF on Monday released a list of what it claimed were the world's 40 worst "predators of the press". The list - made up of politicians, government officials, religious leaders, militias and criminal organisations - included Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Various of film director Roman Polanski on red carpet, being photographed FILE - Paris, 28 February 2008 8. Film director Roman Polanski talking to reporter STORYLINE: Filmmaker Roman Polanski, breaking a months-long silence, said on Sunday that the US is demanding his extradition from Switzerland on a 33-year-old sex case largely to serve him "on a platter to the media." Polanski, who is under house arrest in his Alpine Swiss chalet, laid out his case against extradition on an online magazine run by one of his staunchest supporters, French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy. On Sunday Levy said "in the dead end where he is now, this text is a cry of rage." One of Polanski's complaints is that Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, "who is handling this case and has requested (the) extradition, is himself campaigning for election and needs media publicity." Cooley is running for California attorney general. Swiss authorities are trying to decide whether to extradite Polanski to Los Angeles for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl. Polanski was arrested seven months ago as he arrived in Zurich to receive a lifetime achievement award at a film festival. The Oscar-winning director of "Rosemary's Baby," "Chinatown" and "The Pianist" was put behind bars for more than two months before being transferred on 4.5 (m) million US dollar bail to house arrest in the luxury resort of Gstaad. Polanski wrote in the online magazine, La Regle du Jeu, that he had mortgaged his apartment to pay the bail. Three decades ago, Polanski was accused of plying his victim with champagne and part of a Quaalude pill, a sedative, during a modelling shoot and raping her. He was initially indicted on six felony counts, including rape by use of drugs, child molesting and sodomy. He later pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual intercourse. What happened after that is a subject of dispute. The defence says the now deceased judge, Laurence J. Rittenband, had agreed in meetings with lawyers to sentence Polanski to a 90-day diagnostic study and nothing more. But the judge later changed his mind and summoned Polanski for further sentencing - at which time he fled to his native France, lawyers said. Polanski claimed the judge "betrayed" him and wanted "to gain himself some publicity at my expense." He said the request for his extradition is "founded on a lie." Polanski said retired Deputy District Attorney Roger Gunson, who worked on the case three decades ago, has confirmed his take on events under oath. The director's lawyers have argued that unsealing transcripts of Gunson's secret testimony would show the extradition request is based on false and incomplete statements by the Los Angeles district attorney's office. Polanski added: "I can no longer remain silent because the United States continues to demand my extradition more to serve me on a platter to the media of the world than to pronounce a judgment concerning which an agreement was reached 33 years ago." The filmmaker has kept largely silent under house arrest. In December, he released a message thanking his supporters for their letters.

SOUNDBITE (English) Lynn Redgrave, actress: "It feels awfully good. I'm still floating a little bit. I haven't quite come down. I'm working on a film here and my colleagues on 'The Simian Line,' William Hurt and Harry Connick Jr. and the entire crew are still treating me with this wonderful sort of royalty thing, you know. They call me to the set by calling for a Golden Globe winner, not Miss Redgrave or Lynn, it's 'could the Golden Globe winner please come to the set if she wouldn't mind,' you know, things like that. So I'm really loving it." AP TELEVISION - AP CLIENTS ONLY FILE: Hollywood, California, 16 November 1999 12. Lynn Redgrave speaking to reporter 13. Wide of Lynn Redgrave posing for photographers STORYLINE: Lynn Redgrave, an introspective and independent player in her family's acting dynasty who became a 1960s sensation as the unconventional title character of "Georgy Girl" and later dramatised her troubled past in such one-woman stage performances as "Shakespeare for My Father" and "Nightingale," has died. She was 67. Her publicist Rick Miramontez, speaking on behalf of her children, said Redgrave died peacefully Sunday night at her home in Connecticut. Children Ben, Pema and Annabel were with her, as were close friends. "Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven year journey with breast cancer," Redgrave's children said in a statement on Monday. "She lived, loved and worked harder than ever before. The endless memories she created as a mother, grandmother, writer, actor and friend will sustain us for the rest of our lives. Our entire family asks for privacy through this difficult time." Redgrave was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2002, had a mastectomy in January 2003 and underwent chemotherapy. The British actress' death comes a year after her niece Natasha Richardson died from head injuries sustained in a skiing accident and just a month after the death of her older brother, Corin Redgrave. The youngest child of Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, Lynn Redgrave never quite managed the acclaim - or notoriety - of elder sibling Vanessa Redgrave, but received Oscar nominations for "Georgy Girl" and "Gods and Monsters," and Tony nominations for "Mrs. Warren's Profession," "Shakespeare for My Father" and "The Constant Wife." In recent years, she also made appearances on TV in "Ugly Betty," "Law & Order" and "Desperate Housewives." In theatre, the ruby-haired Redgrave often displayed a sunny, sweet and open personality, much like her ebullient offstage personality. It worked well in such shows as "Black Comedy" - her Broadway debut in 1972 - and again two years later in "My Fat Friend," a comedy about an overweight young woman who sheds pounds to find romance. Tall and blue-eyed like her sister, she was as open about her personal life as Vanessa has been about politics. In plays and in interviews, Lynn Redgrave confided about her family, her marriage and her health. She acknowledged that she suffered from bulimia and served as a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers. With daughter Annabel Clark, she released a 2004 book about her fight with cancer, "Journal: A Mother and Daughter's Recovery From Breast Cancer." Redgrave was born in London in 1943 and despite self-doubts pursued the family trade. She studied at London's Central School of Speech and Drama, and was not yet 20 when she debuted professionally on stage in a London production of "A Midsummer's Night Dream." Like her siblings, she appeared in plays and in films, working under Noel Coward and Laurence Olivier as a member of the National Theatre and under director/brother-in-law Tony Richardson in the 1963 screen hit "Tom Jones." True fame caught her with "Georgy Girl," billed as "the wildest thing to hit the world since the miniskirt." The 1966 film starred Redgrave as the plain, childlike Londoner pursued by her father's middle-aged boss, played by James Mason.
