Tommie Smith did it silently, powerfully, others will find theirs, but they must find it." 17. Wide shot of people gathered for premiere STORYLINE The black American sprinter Tommie Smith, who captured the world's attention with a peaceful but controversial protest delivered at the 1968 Mexico Olympics, was in London on Wednesday for the UK premiere of the documentary "Salute." Smith was the first man to break the 20 second barrier in the men's 200 metres when he won gold at the 1968 Mexico City Games, but what made him famous was his subsequent 'Black Power' salute on the podium with his fellow American athlete John Carlos. It is still considered one of the most powerful images in modern history and was the inspiration for the documentary, Salute, which tells the true story behind that image and how the careers of the men would subsequently be destroyed. However Smith told the UK media on Wednesday that it was not meant to be a Black Power salute but a human rights salute. Smith said as they waited 44 years ago to receive their medals, they told their fellow athlete Australia's Peter Norman of their plan. They had both decided to wear black gloves as they made the gesture but one had forgotten their gloves so Norman gave them the idea to wear one glove each. Following the incident Smith and Carlos were not allowed to run in their US relay team and were banned from the Olympics for life. The Australian public also did not take fondly to Norman embracing the athletes' idea. Four decades on and so much has changed in America, including electing Barack Obama as the country's first black president, . Smith said Obama stands for "equality." Smith then spoke about why they decided to make their grand gesture. "(It was about) equality, freedom and not separatism, and not racist tendencies," he said. Another to attend Wednesday night's premiere was Simon Woolley, from the Operation Black Vote campaign. He was asked if it was possible for a similar gesture to be made at the London Games, that start in just over a fortnight. "Everyone has to find their own consciousness, their own moment in history, to make a difference. Tommie Smith did it silently, powerfully, others will find theirs, but they must find it," he added.

Hungarian hussars carrying Puskas up steps of St Stephen's Basilica past candles STORYLINE Hungary observed a national day of mourning on Saturday for the funeral of soccer great Ferenc Puskas. The national flag was raised and then lowered to half-staff in front of parliament, while public buildings were flying black flags. Puskas, who led Hungary's famed "Golden Team" of the 1950s and later won numerous championships with Real Madrid, died on November 17 aged 79 after being hospitalised for six years with Alzheimer's disease. Famous for his powerful left foot, Puskas scored more than 600 goals in his career and was considered one of the best players of the 20th century. Top players and sports officials from around the world attended the memorial ceremony in the national stadium, renamed for Puskas in 2002. Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon called Puskas "one of our greatest players." ""Ferenc Puskas spent nine unforgettable years with us. He gave joy to all his supporters. He was an idol, a model for all children to follow," Calderon said in front of thousands of fans. "He was a maximum goal scorer four times. A hero in Europe, Spain and of course in his own country," he added. Jeno Buzanszky, one of the last two surviving members of the "Golden Team," said Puskas was a genius on the pitch. "He devoted his life to soccer. He was a true friend and sportsperson, on the pitch as well as off," Buzanszky said. "From now on, there is one fewer star on earth, but one more star shines in the heavens," Buzanszky said. "You were the best team captain of all time." Others attending the ceremony were German great Franz Beckenbauer, former International Olympic Committee president Juan Antonio Samaranch and some of Puskas' former Real Madrid teammates. The crowd was smaller than the tens of thousands expected by organisers but those who attended said they honoured to have the opportunity to bid farewell to their hero. "Ferenc Puskas was the greatest soccer star in the past century. It's really a great honour," Roland Vagi said, "I lived just 200 metres from Uncle Ocsi (Ferenc Puskas's nickname in Hungarian). I've always been a fan of the Honved soccer club and in my family we've raised everyone to be Honved fans," another Puskas fan, Laszlo Tukacs said. "This is why we felt a need to come to this funeral, to remember and to pay our respects to his legend and memory." Puskas was born Ferenc Purczeld on April 2, 1927, in Kispest, a working-class district in Budapest and the only club team he played for in Hungary. Others saw the end to an era and the symbolic demise of a sport which has given fans few recent joys. Hungary last took part in a major international tournament in 1986, at the World Cup in Mexico. After the memorial, Puskas' casket was placed on a horse-drawn carriage and taken to Heroes' Square for a brief military ceremony. Several thousand mourners gathered and lit candles outside St Stephen's Basilica where a funeral service was held for Puskas on Saturday night. Also known as the "Galloping Major" because of his army rank - an honorary title more than a military one - Puskas captained Hungary's national team which was undefeated for four years in the early 1950s and revolutionised the game with its attacking style. Puskas scored twice in the team's most memorable game, a 6-3 win at Wembley, giving England its first home loss against a non-British opponent. He also captained Hungary to an Olympic gold medal at the 1952 Games in Helsinki and was the overwhelming favourite at the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland. In the final against West Germany - which Hungary had defeated 8-3 in a first-round match - Puskas played with an injury and despite an early 2-0 lead for Hungary, the Germans prevailed 3-2. Puskas and several other Hungarian players stayed in the West when Hungary's 1956 anti-communist revolution was crushed by the Soviets. Puskas hooked up with Real Madrid where he won five Spanish league titles, as well as the European Cup in 1959, 1960 and 1966. Dubbed "Pancho" by the Spaniards, Puskas was the Spanish league's top scorer four times, netting 324 goals in 372 games for Madrid, including friendlies. After retiring as a player in 1966, Puskas coached teams in Greece (Panathinaikos), Spain (Real Murcia), Chile (Colo-Colo), Egypt (Masry) and Australia (South Melbourne FC). Often called "the world's most famous Hungarian," Puskas returned to Hungary in 1991 and coached the national team for four games in 1993.

He is also presumed responsible for being the trafficking contact with South and Central American countries." 9. Wide of detainees being presented to media 10. Zoom out pan right from close of Alvarez Vazquez to group of detainees being led off stage STORYLINE Mexican officials presented to reporters suspected drug traffickers on Thursday that were apprehended the night before, including one man with a 2 (m) million dollar bounty on his head. Jose Gerardo Alvarez Vazquez - known as "El Indio" or "El Chayan" - is suspected of being responsible for a spike in violence in states near the capital as part of a struggle for control of the Beltran Leyva drug cartel, the military and the federal Attorney General's Office said. Authorities said Alvarez Vazquez, 45, was arrested along with 14 other suspected drug traffickers during a Wednesday night shootout in Huixquilucan, just west of the capital. Three died in the shooting and two alleged traffickers were wounded. Investigators did not say whether the dead were soldiers or suspected drug dealers. The military said it seized more than a dozen guns and a grenade. Among those arrested was Ascencion Sepulveda Salto, also known as "El Gato," believed to be a powerful cartel lieutenant in Guerrero state. The U.S. State Department says Alvarez Vazquez is a key member of the Arturo Beltran Leyva drug cartel and that he has overseen major deals involving crystal methamphetamine and other drugs between Mexico, Central America, South America and the U.S. He was indicted on four drug-related counts in 1997 in the Southern District of California and the U.S. State Department had issued a 2 (m) million dollar reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction. Mexican General Edgar Luis Villegas Melendez said Alvarez Vazquez had partnered with Edgar Valdez Villarreal, a U.S.-born enforcer known as "La Barbie," in his quest for control over the Beltran Leyva cartel. The presentation followed a battle between troops and a suspected drug gang in a wealthy neighbourhood on the outskirts of Mexico City Wednesday night. Authorities say a battle for the cartel began after Mexican marines killed drug kingpin Arturo Beltran Leyva during a December shootout at an upscale apartment complex in Cuernavaca, south of Mexico City. The struggle for power has triggered dozens of killings in Morelos state, where Cuernavaca is located, and in neighbouring Guerrero, authorities say. At least seven major drug cartels operate in Mexico and an estimated 22,700 people have been killed in Mexico's drug war since December 2006, when a stepped-up military crackdown on the cartels began.

JEFF ANDERSON ASSOCIATES HANDOUT - AP CLIENTS ONLY Filmed recently (location unknown) 7. Zoom into black and white photograph of St John's School for the Deaf in Wisconsin STORYLINE: The case of a Wisconsin priest accused of preying on boys at a school for the deaf was presented to the Vatican by one of the victims a year earlier than previously thought, according to documents revealed on Thursday in another lawsuit aimed at the highest levels of the Roman Catholic Church. A man identified in the lawsuit as "John Doe 16" of Illinois wrote a March 5, 1995, letter to then-Vatican Secretary of State Angelo Sodano alleging that the Reverend Lawrence Murphy molested him for a number of years. Previously, it was believed that the Vatican first learned of the allegations against Murphy in a July 1996 letter from Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland. Murphy, who died in 1998, is accused of sexually abusing approximately 200 boys at the St John's School for the Deaf from 1950 to 1974. His case drew renewed scrutiny after the recent release of documents suggesting that a Vatican office led by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now the pope, failed to aggressively discipline Murphy. The lawsuit was welcomed by the local survivor's group. Peter Isely, Survivor's Network of those Abused by Priests, spoke to reporters on the steps of the Milwaukee courthouse, where the suit was filed. "So this is an historic day and hopefully this is going to result in historic changes that are going to bring a real and lasting resolution to this terrible and horrible problem that has erupted now, as we know, around the globe," he said. John Doe 16's letter was released by his attorney, Jeff Anderson, who provided a copy of a receipt showing the registered letter had reached the Vatican. The man wrote to Sodano again and got no response, according to Anderson. While Anderson said this was the fifth case his firm had filed involving Murphy, it was the "first case we have brought directly and exclusively against the Vatican." The lawsuit was filed on Thursday in the US federal court in Milwaukee, accusing Vatican officials of failing to protect children from a man the Vatican knew had possibly committed acts of child abuse. The lawsuit seeks the release of confidential Vatican files detailing clergy abuse allegations, as well as unspecified monetary damages but Anderson was quick to make clear that financial compensation was not their primary motive It also seeks a jury trial. In response, The Vatican said it had no role whatsoever in the abuse of deaf students by a Wisconsin priest and said a new lawsuit naming the pope and other top officials as defendants is just a publicity stunt. In a statement, the Vatican's US attorney Jeffrey Lena said most of the complaint is without merit and rehashes theories already rejected by US courts. Lena acknowledges that sympathy is due to the victims of the Reverent Lawrence Murphy. But he says the Vatican knew nothing of Murphy's crimes until decades after the abuse occurred and that it isn't responsible as a result. The lawsuit says Sodano, Ratzinger and fellow Vatican official Tarcisio Bertone all knew about the allegations against Murphy and conspired to keep them secret. The lawsuit says the claims are based on "information and belief" but doesn't offer proof. The court document suggests that the Vatican failed to discipline Murphy because he was a prolific fundraiser. The defendants are Ratzinger, Bertone, Sodano and the Holy See, identified as the state of the Vatican City. Cardinal Bertone was Ratzinger's deputy at the time of the investigation and is now the Vatican's secretary of state. The Vatican spokesman, the Reverent Federico Lombardi, has previously said the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was only informed of the Murphy case some 20 years after the diocese knew of the allegations and after civil authorities decided to drop their investigation. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is the powerful office that among other things investigates clerical sex abuse. Lombardi has said that given Murphy's age and health, and that no further allegations had been levelled against him. Bertone told the bishops to stop the trial because too much time had passed. Murphy, however, died before the trial was officially halted.

And we urge the Israeli government to refrain form introducing any tenders for settlements so we can give Mr Mitchell the chance he deserves." 9. Erekat closing door and walking towards camera STORYLINE: Israel's Prime Minister on Thursday rejected US calls to halt construction in disputed east Jerusalem, clouding a new peace mission by Washington's Mideast envoy. Benjamin Netanyahu's comments were broadcast on Israel's Channel 2 TV shortly after envoy George Mitchell arrived for his first visit in six weeks. Mitchell's efforts had been on hold due to disagreements over east Jerusalem, the section of the holy city claimed by Israel and the Palestinians. "I am saying one thing. There will be no freeze in Jerusalem," Netanyahu said. "There should be no preconditions to talks." Although Netanyahu was repeating his long-standing position, the timing of the statement threatened to undermine Mitchell's latest efforts to restart peace talks. Mark Regev, an Israeli government spokesman, denied earlier reports that Israel had officially rejected an American demand for a settlement freeze in Jerusalem. In Washington, the State Department said the decision to send Mitchell was made late Wednesday after lower-level officials had meetings with Israeli and Palestinian representatives, and was part of the effort to create an atmosphere to move the process forward. Mitchell arrived after a month-long break sparked by a dispute over Israeli construction in east Jerusalem, hoping to prod the Israelis and Palestinians to launch negotiations for the first time in more than a year. It was far from certain whether he would succeed, though Israeli and Palestinian officials both indicated that they were ready to get past the deadlock. The sides were set to begin indirect peace talks in early March when Israel revealed plans to build 1,600 homes for Jews in east Jerusalem. The announcement, which came during a visit by Vice President Joe Biden, infuriated the Americans and prompted the Palestinians to postpone the indirect talks indefinitely. The US has been pushing Israel to cancel the planned housing project, halt other east Jerusalem construction and make other confidence-building measures to the Palestinians. Netanyahu has repeatedly refused to curb Jewish construction in east Jerusalem, saying he is following a four-decade-old policy of his predecessors. Israel considers all of the city to be its eternal capital. But in the TV interview, he said he hopes to resolve the differences with Washington, Israel's closest and most important ally. Israeli officials declined to say what gestures were under consideration. Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said that he believed "President Obama and Senator Mitchell must be given a chance" to break the deadlock. "I really hope the Israeli government will opt to refrain from any provocative actions, including settlement activities, and give peace a chance," he added. The status of east Jerusalem is the most explosive issue dividing Israelis and Palestinians. Israel captured the area - home to key Jewish, Muslim and Christian holy sites - in the 1967 Mideast war and immediately annexed it. The annexation has never been internationally recognised. Mitchell arrived late Thursday for his first visit since the spat with Israel erupted during Biden's visit in early March. He was scheduled to meet separately with Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Friday. Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat called the Netanyahu position on Jerusalem "very unfortunate" and said he hoped the US "will be able to convince the Israeli government to give peace a chance by halting settlement construction in east Jerusalem and elsewhere". Peace talks broke down in late 2008 after Israel launched a three-week military offensive in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians have said they will not hold face-to-face talks with Netanyahu until he freezes all settlement activity in east Jerusalem and the West Bank. Netanyahu so far has curbed only West Bank construction in a temporary freeze. The indirect talks, to be personally mediated by Mitchell, are meant as a way to break the deadlock.

And I'm not afraid to say that in many cases the Masons together with other enemies of the church are involved." RCN TV - NO ACCESS COLOMBIA UNDATED FILE - 2005 3. Various file of Dario Castrillon Hoyos STORYLINE: A senior cardinal in Colombia defended the Roman Catholic Church's practice of frequently not reporting sexual abusive priests to the police, saying on Thursday it would have been like testifying against a family member at trial. In a radio interview, Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos also accused unnamed insiders and enemies elsewhere of feeding the sex abuse scandals hurting the Catholic Church. "It is an affront. It is a persecution against the church. A shame that is happening. I can't use another word - useful idiots in the church that have lent themselves to this type of persecution," Castrillon told RCN, using a term for people duped into sympathising with a foe of their interests. "And I'm not afraid to say that in many cases the Masons together with other enemies of the church are involved." His comments came just days after the Vatican posted on its website guidelines telling bishops they should report abusive priests to police if civil laws require it. The Vatican has claimed that was long its policy, though it was never before written explicitly. The Vatican posted the guidelines as a response to mounting criticism that it mandated a culture of secrecy that instructed bishops to keep abuse quiet, letting it fester unchecked for decades. Castrillon, 80, was an influential figure at the Vatican before his recent retirement from active duty, heading the Vatican's office for clergy as well as efforts to reconcile with ultraconservatives who had broken away from the church. Recently the cardinal himself has been drawn into the international scandal over the church's handling of child abuse by priests due to the surfacing of a 2001 letter, which he wrote, praising a French bishop for shielding a priest who was convicted of raping minors. Castrillon said last week in Spain that he showed the letter to then-Pope John Paul II, who authorised him to send it to bishops worldwide.

End of news conference 8. Cutaway of NATO member countries flags 9. Various of NATO delegates at photo call 10. Wide of NATO meeting family photo 11. Medium of US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at photo call STORYLINE: NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Thursday that US nuclear weapons play a vital defensive role in Europe and should not be removed as long as other countries possess nuclear weapons. Speaking at a NATO summit in Estonia, Fogh Rasmussen said "we need a credible nuclear deterrent as long as nuclear weapons exist." Some European members of NATO, including Germany, have said the time has come for the US to withdraw its remaining Cold War-era nuclear weapons from Europe. They cite US President Barack Obama's pledge in Prague last year to seek a nuclear-free world. But some newer NATO members who previously were part of the former Soviet Union or its Warsaw Pact military bloc are opposed to a US nuclear withdrawal. They argue that the presence of the weapons is the surest guarantee of their territorial integrity. "NATO must do what it can to support arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation," Fogh Rasmussen said. "But NATO's core business, its 'raison d'etre' (reason for being), is to protect our territories and our populations. Our job is to ensure that the 900 (m) million people in NATO countries feel safe from attack." Meanwhile US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday also ruled out an early withdrawal of US nuclear forces from Europe, telling a NATO meeting that any reductions should be tied to a nuclear pullback by Russia, which has far more of the weapons in range of European targets. No such negotiation with Russia is in the offing, and Moscow has shown little interest thus far in bargaining away its tactical nuclear arms. Clinton also said the Obama administration wants NATO to accept missile defence as a core mission of the alliance, making it part of a broader efforts to combat the dangers posed by nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and the missiles that delivery them. She said missile defence and nuclear weapons are complimentary means of deterring an attack on the US and its alliance partners. A copy of her prepared remarks, delivered at a private dinner she attended with representatives of 27 other NATO member countries, was provided by her staff. Fogh Rasmussen also spoke about the importance of missile defence stating "we strengthen our collective defence, our territories and populations, by having a nuclear deterrent and, complimentary to that, also a missile defence shield." In her dinner remarks, Clinton made clear that as NATO embarks on a discussion about the future of its nuclear weapons policy, it should be guided by an agreed set of principles - starting with a commitment that decisions will be made by the group, not unilaterally by Washington. Clinton did not say that US nuclear arms should never be removed, but she made several points that appeared to exclude the possibility of bringing an early end to the presence of the weapons, which currently are stored on air bases in five European countries. In the event of war in Europe they would be assigned to combat aircraft flown by European crews - manifesting the basic tenet that allies must share the risks that come with a collective defence treaty hinged on a US nuclear protection guarantee. She added that it is the administration's "broad aim" to continue to reduce the role and number of nuclear weapons in its overall arsenal, which features about 5,000 strategic, or long-range, nuclear weapons - including about 3,000 that are in storage. She laid out a formula for linking any future reductions in US nuclear weapons in Europe to reciprocal actions by the Russians. The Russians are believed to have about 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons although they have never confirmed the number. Clinton's dinner talk on nuclear policy formally launched a discussion that is due to climax in November when Obama and other NATO government leaders gather in Lisbon, Portugal, to endorse a rewriting of the alliance's basic defence doctrine.

You really should be ashamed of doing things like that." SOUNDBITE (English) Gordon Brown, British Prime Minister and incumbent Labour prime ministerial candidate: "David, David, I have not authorised any leaflets like that." 25. Top shot of debate 26. SOUNDBITE (English) Gordon Brown, British Prime Minister and incumbent Labour prime ministerial candidate: ++Audio partly overlaid with cutaways of candidates++ "The issue for me is do not do anything that put this economic recovery at risk. We have fought so hard for so long over these last two years to make sure we get through what has been the worst global financial recession since the 1930s. And we've had to take ownership of our banks, we've had to call the world together in London to have a big summit so that we can make decisions that everybody will work together and we all decided that we would put resources into the economy. Unfortunately the Conservatives want to take these resources out far too early and they put thousands of jobs at risk. So I would say this evening, that David you are a risk to the economy; Nick you are a risk because of what you are saying on Iran and nuclear weapons to our security. Nick you would leave us weak, David you would leave us isolated in Europe. I think these are the problems that these parties have got to face up to. We have a credible long term plan for the future of Britain." 27. Reverse shot of candidates 28. SOUNDBITE (English) David Cameron, Conservative prime ministerial candidate: ++Audio partly overlaid with cutaways of candidates++ I don't know about you but I thought all of that sounded slightly desperate. It sounded like an attempt to frighten people instead of doing what I think we need to do in our country, which is to take and make a clean break from the last 13 years. To have new leadership to take the country forward, to solve the problems that we have. And I think the Conservatives are best placed to offer that because if you vote Conservative you know you can get fresh new leadership from a new team on May 7, rather than being stuck with what we have now. 29. Top shot of debate 30. SOUNDBITE (English) Nick Clegg, Liberal Democrats prime ministerial candidate: ++Audio begins on previous shot++ "What I've tried to do tonight is to show that if we do things differently we can be a force for good in the world. We can lead, we can shape the world around us, not just sort of complain about the world around us. Now we've talked about a number of things this evening, we've talked about Europe, Afghanistan, climate change, the Pope. We've talked about things closer to home as well: immigration, MPs' expenses, pensions. I believe on all those things, all those issues, we can act differently." 31. Wide of candidates at end of debate STORYLINE A poll shows British third party leader Nick Clegg has held on to his momentum after the second of Britain's three election debates, as party leaders clashed on a wide range of issues ranging from Britain's nuclear deterrent to negative campaigning and leafleting. The Liberal Democrat leader threw Britain's election wide open after what was widely seen as a breakout performance in Britain's first-ever televised debate last week. An initial poll gave Clegg a slight edge in the debate, but it appeared to be close to a three-way tie. Still, Clegg managed to keep some of his political stardust: respondents said the Liberal Democrats' 43-year-old leader seemed the most honest. Clegg shook up the race last week, emerging as a clear winner after giving a smooth and confident performance in Britain's first US-styled election debate and boosting his party's profile. Thursday's debate came as dozens of anti-war protesters and other activists clashed with police outside the studio in Bristol hosting the prime-time duel. Pro-Palestinian groups outside protested Israeli incursions in Gaza. Others held placards that read "Troops Home!" There are some 10-thousand British troops still stationed in Afghanistan. It was the closest Britain has come to the famous 1960 Nixon-Kennedy debate, every grimace and blemish were seen in high-definition television format. The candidates' performances make the razor-close May 6 election even harder to predict. Polls suggest that no party will win an outright majority. That situation could turn the Liberal Democrats into a kingmaker, bartering with both Labour and the Conservative for things they want, namely electoral changes that could weaken Britain's traditional two-party system. Brown was on the attack for most of the debate, ridiculing Clegg and Cameron, both 16 years his junior. Brown and Cameron both ganged up on Clegg for insisting that Britain should not continue to spend money on the Trident nuclear weapons system. "David you are a risk to the economy; Nick you are a risk because of what you are saying on Iran and nuclear weapons to our security," said Brown, 59. He also lashed out at Clegg, accusing him of being anti-American, and went after Cameron for being "anti-European." Clegg, whose Liberal Democrats voted against the US-led Iraq war and who has questioned British "subservience" to US interests, denied he was anti-American, but said Britain should re-evaluate how it deals with its trans-Atlantic ally. An automated telephone poll taken by ComRes after the debate showed that 2,691 viewers favoured Clegg by a tiny margin. About a third of viewers believed that Clegg won the debate, while 30 percent believed that Brown or Cameron won. The margin of error for that sample size is plus or minus 2 percentage points. Cameron, who gave a lacklustre performance in last week's debate, appeared to learn from his mistakes. He looked directly at the camera and seemed more confident on Thursday. He almost lost his temper when he accused Brown of allowing campaign leaflets that suggested a Conservative government would cut benefits for the elderly. "Will you withdraw the leaflets that are going out around the country saying that the Conservatives would take away things like the free bus pass. You really should be ashamed of doing things like that," Cameron demanded of Brown. "David, David, I have not authorised any leaflets like that," Brown replied. The testy exchange came after Brown had alleged that the Conservatives would take away benefits such as as free eye tests and free prescriptions. Both Labour and the Conservatives voted for Britain to go to war in Iraq, a stance that has hurt them with anti-war sentiment still strong in Britain. The Labour Party, which has been in power for 13 years, lost many seats in the 2005 general election when voters cast protest ballots against Tony Blair's decision to lead Britain into Iraq. Afghanistan, the latest nettlesome mission, in which 280 British troops have died, is now one of Britain's longest and most costly conflicts, draining government coffers as the country tries to recover from its worst recession since World War II. Clegg criticised the strategy in Afghanistan and said troops needed better equipment. An audience member asked whether the leaders backed Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Britain in September, and if they supported the church's stance on the sex abuse scandal, condoms, homosexuality and stem cell research. All three men said they supported the visit, which is due to cost taxpayers some 15 million pounds, (22.5 (m) million US Dollars.) Clegg, a former member of the European Parliament, once backed Britain adopting the euro and has talked about forging stronger ties with Europe. He stressed Thursday that Britain needs cooperation from other European countries if progress is to be made on terror, immigration, climate change and bank regulation. Cameron has long been a euro-sceptic and stood apart from both Clegg and Brown on Thursday when he suggested again there should be a referendum allowing British people to decide how they feel about being a part of the European Union. Clegg is unlikely to become prime minister because Britain's electoral system is not proportional so parties must win the majority of districts, not the popular vote. This puts smaller and newer parties at a disadvantage. Most core voters still either vote Conservative or Labour. Candidates managed to get across their campaign mantras throughout the debates, with the Conservatives warning that a hung Parliament and a coalition government could hurt the pound and Britain's credit rating and Brown insisting that a government shake-up could jeopardise an economic recovery. The British electorate has reached an all-time low for trust in politicians after an expenses scandal last year tarred all three major parties.

Various of British newspaper headlines for Thursday morning STORYLINE Representatives from all three British political parties claimed their candidate won the second election debate held in the English city of Bristol on Wednesday. But one poll gave Liberal Democrats leader Nick Clegg the advantage holding his own against Labour's Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the Conservatives' David Cameron over thorny issues such as Afghanistan, the Catholic sex abuse scandal and the special relationship with the United States. An initial poll gave Clegg a slight edge in the debate, but it appeared to be close to a three-way tie. Clegg shook up the race last week, emerging as a clear winner after giving a smooth and confident performance in Britain's first US.-styled election debate and boosting his party's profile. After the debate had finished, David Miliband, British Foreign Secretary said that Brown was "energised, decisive" and dominated the debate. While Liam Fox, Conservative MP and Shadow Defence Secretary, told a contrasting tale and described Cameron as "clear, strong, authoritative." "I thought on Europe he spoke up for Britain and I thought on expenses he spoke up for ordinary voters and I thought on immigration he spoke up for common sense and I think he looked every inch a potential prime minister tonight," he added. Paddy Ashdown, former leader of the Liberal Democrats said Clegg "mastered" the debate. Cameron, who gave a lacklustre performance in last week's debate, appeared to learn from his mistakes.

He almost lost his temper when he accused Brown of allowing campaign leaflets that suggested a Conservative government would cut benefits for the elderly. Brown denied he authorised the leaflets.

Samaranch running with Olympic torch STORYLINE A host of international figures and dignitaries paid tribute to former International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Juan Antonio Samaranch on Thursday at the funeral service for the man led the Olympics into the professional era. Tennis star Rafael Nadal was one of the pallbearers who helped carry Samaranch's coffin, draped in the Olympic flag, from Catalonia state headquarters to Barcelona's cathedral. At the cathedral a solemn and emotional service paid final homage to the 89-year-old Spaniard, who died on Wednesday from heart failure. Hundreds gathered inside the gothic cathedral to cap nearly 10 hours of tributes. During his 21 years in power, Samaranch transformed the nearly bankrupt IOC, in the process turning the Olympic Games into a thriving, multibillion dollar industry that cities around the world compete to host. IOC president Jacques Rogge said earlier in a private ceremony attended by about 100 people that Samaranch made the Olympics the premier sporting event in the world. Rogge was among a number of international figures who joined Juan Antonio Jr., Samaranch's daughter Maria Teresa, partner Luisa Sallent and other family members - including all seven grandchildren - to honour a "generous, compassionate man" who archbishop Lluis Martinez Sistach called "a universal Catalan." Spanish King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, and Prince Albert of Monaco were among the state leaders in attendance at the cathedral, while Cuba's Fidel Castro and Raul Castro paid their respects through one of the growing number of flower arrangements. Crown Prince Felipe called Samaranch a "colossal figure" in Spanish sports and a "universal" figure in world sports. Men and women of all ages streamed into the state headquarters' Salon Sant Jordi room in the afternoon to pay their respects, many bringing flowers. Nadal was among 30 Olympic athletes who alternated in carrying Samaranch's coffin down the Carrer del Bisbe street to the cathedral, including tennis greats Manolo Santana and Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and Olympic water polo champion Manel Estiarte. Before the start of Samaranch's time at the helm of the Olympic body, the IOC was cash-strapped, the Olympics were battered by boycotts, extremism and financial troubles, and no cities wanted to host the games. Samaranch changed all that when he came into office in 1980. His mastery of negotiation, persuasion and behind-the-scenes diplomacy helped do away with political boycotts and amateurism and bring in an explosion of commercialisation that helped to grow the popularity of the games. Samaranch created the Court of Arbitration for Sport, took over a male-dominated IOC that now has 20 women among its 100-plus delegates, and brought more female athletes into the Olympics. Samaranch is to be cremated and then laid to rest on Friday on Montjuic mountain, home to the city's Olympic stadium.
