THE REPORTER SOUND FROM THE SEGMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE. Celebrated from the 13th to the 19th of March every year, the Fallas are giant creations of styrofoam, wood and paper mache, created in honor of St. Joseph, patron of all carpenters. They are built by an ensemble of Valencia's competing clubs. The Fallas represent a huge investment of money and personnel during a whole year. The creations are burned to the ground on the last night of the festival in huge bonfires. This act of faith and pyromania brings tears to the women and evokes strong emotions from the men. The whole town of Valencia participates with a week long celebration of parades, bands, firework displays and the daily Mascaleta. The Mascleta is a long tradition of the loudest kind. The event takes place every day at 2pm in the city hall square. It features firework artists competing on who can be the best "noise maker" by creating a symphony of sound. All is done to the applause of the adoring Valencians. Off the Beaten Path: The Festivals program travels to the mountainous region of Castillon and the hill town of Morella for some black truffle cooking. We meet a weaver who uses 300-year-old traditional machines to create the beautiful garments worn in the Fallas Festival.
TURKEY: DIG FOR ANCIENT TREASURE (V)
TAPE_NUMBER: EF00/0553 IN_TIME: 18:52:23 LENGTH: 01:38 SOURCES: APTN RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: Eng/Turkish/Nat XFA Archaeologists in southeastern Turkey are racing against time to salvage Roman treasures which will be submerged by the waters of the Euphrates River within three weeks. Three Turkish archaeologists aided by local workers are working round the clock to excavate and remove mosaics and frescoes that adorned two Roman villas uncovered last September. But they appear to be losing the battle as water levels swell behind the walls of the newly constructed Birecik Dam. The archaeologists now face the reality that they will have to surrender many undiscovered treasures to the depths of the Birecik lake. 0001 The Roman city of Zeugma lies in the shadow of one of Turkey's largest dam projects. 0007 When the Birecik dam is finished - and it almost is - much of Zeugma will disappear under a lake 15 metres deep. 0014 Archaeologists are working flat out to salvage what treasures they can. Two ancient Roman villas will be lost - and with water levels rising at 30 centimeters a day, they could be completely submerged as early as June. The archaeologists say they do not have enough time or resources to rescue all the buried treasures: 0033 SOUNDBITE: (English) "Unfortunately no. We only have three weeks to finish our work. It's absolutely not enough for us." SUPER CAPTION: Yusuf Yavas, Turkish Archaeologist 0041 The mosaics and other treasures uncovered in Zeugma are being stored at a museum in the regional capital. The most precious finds were 14 well-preserved mosaic floor panels which archaeologists believe were crafted by the most popular artist of the time. 0056 The mosaic base depicting the sea god Poseidon flanked by lesser deities and a dozen frolicking fish, eels and shrimps, used to be a swimming pool. 0106 Also uncovered was a bronze statue of Mars, together with carved columns and figurines and thousands of coins and seals. 0115 The dam-building project aims to irrigate arid lands, produce cheap electricity and bring jobs to an economically deprived area. Officials say it would cost too much to delay it. 0126 The archaeologists say they'll carry on working until they're ankle-deep in water. But many of Zeugma's ancient treasures will be buried forever in the depths of Birecik lake.

Starting from June 1, toys that "could have a direct effect on the safety of babies and children" have to bear the mark of "CCC" (China Compulsory Certification) before they can be sold in China, according to a statement issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (GAQSIQ) and the Certification and Accreditation Administration (CAA) on Thursday. The targeted toys including baby carriers, shooting toys, dolls,electric, plastic and metal toys, according to the statement. "Some baby carriers have sharp edges that could cut kids and small parts can easily be swallowed by children," said Zhu Guangpei, CAA's deputy director. China unified its compulsory inspection system by setting up the "CCC" product certification system in 2003 as part of its commitment for entry into the World Trade Organization. A little over 80 percent of the toys on the market have been certificated by the end of April, according to statistics with the quality watchdog. The two administrations urged more toy manufacturers to apply for the certificates, adding they would also launch a crackdown on counterfeit certification symbols. 12:28:25 070613#014 Name: 070613#014 Title: CHINA FOOD SAFETY ap0730g Type: APTN FEED In point: 08:32:50.16 Out point: 08:34:17.20 Duration: 00:01:27.02 Clip Locations BROWSE,PDR A Tape ID 1593 Source APTN Notes 1Dopesheet AP-APTN-0730: ++China Food Safety Wednesday, 13 June 2007 Government official says China has food safety issues under control SOURCE: AP TELEVISION DATELINE: Beijing, 12 June 2007 SHOTLIST: 1.

Various of confiscated clothes STORYLINE: China invited foreign reporters to a rare visit of a food safety lab in Beijing on Tuesday in an attempt to play down international concerns about tainted food exports. Beijing said the problems were not as bad as reported and displaying seized counterfeit products to show that authorities were enforcing safety measures. Reporters visited the food safety lab and storehouse where bogus goods from chewing gum to soy sauce were stacked on shelves and arrayed in rows. China's poor safety record has increasingly come under scrutiny as its goods make their way to global markets. Major buyers such as the United States, Japan, and the European Union have pushed for Beijing to improve inspections. The pressure has increased in recent months as U.S. inspectors have banned or turned away Chinese exports including wheat gluten tainted with the chemical melamine, blamed for dog and cat deaths in North America. Monkfish containing life-threatening levels of Pufferfish toxins, drug-laced frozen eel and juice made with unsafe colour additives have also been on the growing list of unacceptable products. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has also stopped all imports of Chinese toothpaste to test for a deadly chemical reportedly found in tubes sold in Australia, the Dominican Republic and Panama. In response, China has gone on the offensive. In the past week, the country has highlighted at least four American products as unsafe or not up to Chinese safety standards. Safety officials have urged better surveillance at all levels and promised to set up a food recall system, the country's first, by year end. At the Beijing food lab, technicians wearing white coats tested packages of spring rolls, dumplings and other frozen foods for toxic chemicals. In another room, a variety of fake products were displayed including Wrigley's chewing gum, Shiseido skin care products and Levi's jeans. 12:30:45 070814 china toys2 Name:070814 china toys 2 Title:CHINA TOYS 2 Type:FEED-LINES In point:15:27:05.22Outpoint:15:30:34.11Duration:00:03:28.21 Clip LocationsBROWSE,PDR D Tape ID SourceABC NotesMATERIAL FOR NY DopesheetCHINATOY (file video of China toy factory producing stuffed Barneydolls.NOTMATTEL). 12:36:40 070726#027 Name: 070726#027 Title: CHINA SAFETY APTN EVNY Type: EVN FEED In point: 09:32:36.06 Out point: 09:34:44.19 Duration: 00:02:08.13 Clip Locations BROWSE,PDR A Tape ID ----- Source APTN Notes toy factory + EU REAX Dopesheet China safety EVNY Date Shot: 26-JUL-2007 Location: JIANGSU Country: CHINA Source: GBAPTN Shotlist: Jiangsu - 25 July 2007 1.

So I'll wait for this report in October and then I will be ready to say publicly and to announce what we have achieved. I'm really very much result-oriented in my policy." 10. factory workers making stuffed toy Dopesheet: The European Union's consumer commissioner has urged China to stick to its commitment to be more transparent about actions it takes against manufacturers who make goods recalled in Europe. "This is very important for us to keep trust and confidence in our trade and our partnership," Meglena Kuneva said after visiting a toy factory in the eastern province of Jiangsu on Wednesday. Figures from the China Toy Association show that toy exports exceeded 17 point eight (b) billion US dollars last year. The United States and the EU were the two biggest markets. Exports to the EU reached four point six (b) billion US dollars and more than a half of all the toys sold in Europe came from China. An EU report showed that last year, toys for the first time overtook electrical appliances in terms of RAPEX notifications. RAPEX is Europe's alert system for dangerous consumer products. Choking caused by small parts, injuries from sharp edges and chemical risks were the top three threats. The report did not say how many of the dangerous toys were from China, but it did say that about half of all the unsafe products had originated here. Chinese officials accompanying Kuneva on her visit stressed that each new type of toy was subject to compulsory testing before production started and that random factory inspections and sample testing also helped ensure quality control of Chinese toys. "The commitment for improvement is taken on the side of the Chinese government and also on the side of the local authorities," Kuneva acknowledged. "I'll wait for this report in October and then I will be ready to say publicly and to announce what we have achieved. I'm really very much result-oriented in my policy," she added.
