SOUNDBITE: (English) Barack Obama, US President: "I also spoke this morning with German Chancellor Merkel regarding economic and financial developments in Europe. We agreed on the importance of a strong policy response by the affected countries, and a strong financial response from the international community. I made clear that the United States supports these efforts and will continue to cooperate with European authorities and the IMF during this critical period." ABC - No access North America/internet 4. Obama leaving press conference STORYLINE US President Barack Obama said on Friday that he agreed with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on the importance of a strong policy response to the current economic crisis in Greece, by those countries in Europe directly affected, as well as by the international country. The German Bundestag, or parliament, had earlier on Friday approved Germany's contribution to the financial bailout package for debt laden Greece - a decision Chancellor Angela Merkel said was in German citizens' best interests. The lower house of parliament had voted 390 votes in favour and 72 against, with 139 abstentions, to authorise granting as much as 22.4 billion Euros (28.6 billion US Dollars) in credit over three years, part of a wider 110 billion Euro (140 billion US Dollar) package backed by eurozone members and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The upper house of parliament - representing Germany's 16 states - later added its approval. Bailing out Greece is unpopular in Germany, which has Europe's largest economy. European leaders met later in Brussels in an attempt to persuade world markets that the spiralling contagion from Greece's debt crisis would not spread to other countries with vulnerable state finances, such as Portugal and Spain, and derail Europe's economic recovery. The emergency meeting of the 16 leaders of the eurozone was originally was called to sign off on the emergency bailout package for Greece, but ended up being a frantic effort at crisis management. "I made clear that the United States supports these efforts and will continue to cooperate with European authorities and the IMF (International Monetary Fund) during this critical period," Obama said. The White House said that Obama is being updated regularly regarding the situation in Greece, during his daily briefings. The IMF board of directors planned to meet on Sunday in Washington to approve a 40 billion US Dollars loan to Greece as part of the rescue package.

Various of closed banks STORYLINE The German parliament on Friday approved Berlin's share of the rescue package for debt-laden Greece - a decision Chancellor Angela Merkel said was in German citizens' best interests. The lower house of parliament voted 390 votes in favour and 72 against, with 139 abstentions, to authorise granting as much as 22.4 (b) billion Euros (28.6 (b) billion US Dollars) in credit over three years. That is part of a wider 110 (b) billion Euro (140 (b) billion US Dollar) package backed by eurozone members and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Merkel's centre-right governing coalition was joined by one of the three opposition parties in approving the aid. The upper house of parliament - representing Germany's 16 states - later added its approval. Germans dislike the idea of rescuing another country from its financial irresponsibility, but Merkel welcomed what she called "a very important decision that makes clear that we are protecting the currency in the interests of our citizens." The aid bill now needs only the signature of President Horst Koehler, a former head of the IMF, who can refuse to sign on constitutional grounds but barely ever does. Merkel was meeting later on Friday with other European leaders to discuss rescue plans and make an attempt to persuade world markets that the spiraling contagion from Greece's debt crisis would not spread to other countries with vulnerable state finances such as Portugal and Spain and derail Europe's economic recovery. Prior to her departure for Brussels, she said leaders would have a "fundamental discussion that must make clear that the primacy of politics in securing the stability of the euro has absolute priority for us." Bailing out Greece is unpopular in Germany, which has Europe's largest economy. Merkel long took a tough line on aid, and her opponents have accused her of dragging her heels ahead of a regional election this weekend. Friday's decision by Germany's parliament was cautiously welcomed on the streets of Athens. Meanwhile, banks across the Greek capital closed on Friday afternoon in memory of three people who died after an Athens bank was firebombed earlier in the week. Banks shut their doors at midday. An impromptu shrine, with flowers and candles, has been set up at the burnt out facade of Marfin Bank, where the three bank workers lost their lives on Wednesday during protests against the government's austerity measures. Wednesday's deaths - the first such fatalities in protests in nearly 20 years in Greece - have shocked the public in a country where violence during demonstrations is frequent but rarely results in casualties. One Athens resident said the way the three workers died was "unfair" and added that he believed the protesters had deliberately intended to kill people. "This is not the way to protest," he added. Greek borrowing costs hit another record high on Friday and shares on the Athens stock exchange plunged amid losses in European markets and fears that Greece will have difficulty implementing its austerity plan. Greek lawmakers on Thursday approved drastic austerity cuts which were needed to secure international rescue loans worth 110 (b) billion euros (140 billion US dollars). The cuts, worth about 30 (b) billion euros (38.18 billion US dollars) will slash pensions and civil servants' pay and raise consumer taxes. The euro-zone nations have pledged to contribute 80 (b) billion euros (100 billion US dollars) to the bailout plan for Greece over the next three years, with the rest coming from the International Monetary Fund. The international rescue loans are aimed at containing the debt crisis and keeping Greece's troubles from spreading to Portugal and Spain. Fears of Greek default have undermined the euro, and while the current package should keep Greece from immediate bankruptcy, its long-term prospects are unclear. The country's growth prospects are weak, and the population's willingness to accept cutbacks may wane, leading some economists to predict an eventual debt restructuring somewhere down the road.

Only yesterday we took very strong measures, an adjustment package with a majority in Parliament, showing the will to move forward and we are determined to move forward. We have done our part. At the same time there is unprecedented volatility throughout the world and the world economy. That is why today's meeting here in Brussels is so important. We will reaffirm our confidence in our economies and our common currency and this I believe is a very important message for the global economic recovery. A recovery that will bring back growth, jobs, welfare to our people to our citizens in our countries and to all of Europe. We can do this, we must do this, we will do this together." POOL - AP CLIENTS ONLY 7. Papandreou walks into Council STORYLINE The German Chancellor on Friday urged European leaders to sharpen the core rules underpinning the euro to avoid future debt crises like the one which has pushed Greece to the brink of chaos and threatened other fragile eurozone nations. Angela Merkel spoke as the 16 leaders of the eurozone began arriving for an evening summit in Brussels to finalise the Greek rescue plan and assess how such financial crises might be avoided in the future. She said European leaders must act fast to contain the crisis. In Germany, where bailing Greece out is unpopular, both houses of parliament approved the rescue package on Friday and sent it to President Horst Koehler for his signature. "I'm happy that the German parliament and the German president signed the aid package for Greece. The Greeks themselves have also agreed on an ambitious plan and I believe that based on that together we have taken an important step towards ensuring the safety of the euro," Merkel said. She called for tougher rules to keep wayward governments in line, adding that her European colleagues should also consider changes to the 1992 treaty that laid the groundwork for the shared currency. The euro has rules to stop governments from undermining it with reckless spending, limiting deficits to 3 percent of gross domestic product. But those rules were shown to lack teeth when even big countries such as Germany and France broke them without much in the way of consequences. After the euro dropped to its lowest level in 14 months and nervous bond markets dumped Greek debt, a summit originally called to sign off on the bailout and draw lessons for the future turned into one of crisis management. Despite angry demonstrations by tens of thousands in Athens, in which three people died, Greek lawmakers on Thursday approved painful spending cuts that will secure vital foreign loans to stave off bankruptcy. "We have done our part," Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou told reporters as he arrived for the summit. "At the same time there is unprecedented volatility throughout the world and the world economy. That is why today's meeting here in Brussels is so important." "We will reaffirm our confidence in our economies and our common currency and this I believe is a very important message for the global economic recovery... We can do this, we must do this, we will do this together," he said. Earlier, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso met with European Union President Herman Van Rompuy to assess the financial fallout of the past days which has financial markets testing the euro's robustness. Merkel, whose country holds the key to any solution, spoke on Friday with US President Barack Obama, who said he supported the effort to deal with the financial crisis in Europe. EU leaders have insisted for days the Greek financial implosion is a unique combination of bad management, free spending and statistical cheating that doesn't apply to other eurozone nations, such as troubled Spain or Portugal. They said the bailout should keep the problem from spreading to other countries by giving Greece three years of support and preventing a default when it has to pay 8.5 (B) billion EUR (11.3 billion US dollars) in bonds coming due May 19. Along with the eurozone meeting, the G-7 finance ministers were holding a teleconference on Friday on the crisis, according to Japan's finance minister. A French official who was not authorised to be named because of his office's policy, said no completely new decisions were to be expected from Friday's meeting but that some emergency measures could be discussed. After struggling to get ahead of the crisis for weeks, European governments are now underlining their determination to act by speeding approval of their contributions to the a 110 (b) billion EUR (140 billion US dollars) emergency loan package for Athens.

AP TELEVISION - AP CLIENTS ONLY 18. Cameron leaves party headquarters, vehicle pulls away STORYLINE Conservative leader David Cameron claimed the right to govern Britain, appealing to the centre-left Liberal Democrats on Friday to join him in forming a government and attempting to calm financial markets spooked by an unresolved election. Cameron's Tories won the most seats in Thursday's vote but did not take enough seats to form a majority, prompting a competition with Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Labour party for support from the third-place Liberal Democrats. Cameron told reporters a stable government was needed quickly to calm markets and said the Tories would promise to implement parts of Liberal Democratic election manifesto, but stopped short of offering to fulfil their demand of electoral reform. He offered the party, and their leader Nick Clegg, an all-party committee of inquiry to examine the issue. "I want to make a big, open and comprehensive offer to the Liberal Democrats," Cameron said. "I want us to work together in tackling our country's big and urgent problems: the debt crisis, our deep social problems and our broken political system." Brown went further in a similar public approach to the Liberal Democrats, saying he agreed with their demands. "My view is clear, there needs to be immediate legislation on this to begin to restore the public trust in politics and to improve Parliament's standing and reputation, a fairer voting system is central," Brown said in comments clearly aimed at the third-place party. Clegg did not immediately respond in public but said earlier that the party that had gained the most seats and the most votes, the Conservatives, should have the first right to seek to govern. "I think it is now for the Conservative party to prove that it is capable of seeking to govern in the national interest," he said in a statement outside his party headquarters. Labour came second in Thursday's vote, which for the first time since the 1970s produced no outright winner. The Conservatives gained the largest number of seats but fell short of the parliamentary majority needed to govern alone. The final results for Thursday's vote in the UK gave the Conservatives 306 seats, Labour 258, and Liberal Democrats 57. At least 326 of the House of Commons' 650 seats are needed to form a government. As sitting prime minister, Brown would traditionally be given the first chance to put together a government. His left-of-centre Labour Party is seen as a more natural coalition fit with the Liberal Democrats. Many of the Conservative party's old guard distrust the Liberal Democrats' pro-European leanings and fiercely oppose its call for proportional representation, which would make it hard for any single party to hold power alone, effectively shutting out the Conservatives indefinitely. Labour is much more amenable to demands for electoral reform, but even a deal with the Liberal Democrats would leave them a few seats short of a majority, meaning they would have to turn to Scottish and Welsh nationalists for further support. Although Britain has no written constitution, senior civil servants have been preparing furiously to lay out the rules and avoid market-rattling uncertainty in the event of a so-called hung parliament, a result in which no party secures a majority. The last time a British election produced such a result was in 1974. A period of political wrangling and confusion in one of the world's largest economies could unsettle global markets already reeling from the Greek debt crisis and fears of wider debt contagion in Europe. Britain's budget deficit is set to eclipse even that of Greece next year, and whoever winds up in power faces the daunting challenge of introducing big government spending cuts to slash the country's huge deficit.

First of all from a good point of view the volcano is now erupting only to about 20-thousand (6000 metres) feet whereas it was going up to 30-thousand (9000 metres) over the last 48 hours. So that will be somewhat we hope less ash but of course we don't know exactly what will happen. The weather prospect is that it is not expected that the potential ash cloud will come onto the European mainland to any significant extent. There is a slight possibility that it could touch the extreme west of Spain and Portugal but that is a slight risk at this time. " 8.

Various aerials of grey and white smoke plumes rising from the volcano 10. Aerial zoom in to volcano crater, plumes of ash rising ++MUTE++ STORYLINE Ash from the Eyjafjallajokul volcano will probably not affect European flights, but it might cause some disruptions on transatlantic ones, officials said on Friday. "There will be some congestion in the Spanish and the Portuguese airspace so there may be some delays on the departures of flights but all of the transatlantic flights will be able to operate today," said Brian Flynn, the Deputy Head of operations at Eurocontrol, a Brussels agency that determines the air routes that airliners use across the continent. Eurocontrol said that as the ash cloud has expanded southward, it has squeezed the air space available to trans-Atlantic flights, creating a traffic jam in Spanish air space. The agency warned airliners detouring along the southern edge of the spreading cloud to expect delays of up to 100 minutes. Ireland reopened its western airports on Friday but warned that a 1,000-mile-long (1,600-kilometre-long) cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland was still lurking offshore. The Irish Aviation Authority, which ordered a half-dozen airports shut overnight, quickly reopened them once it became clear that the cloud was staying sufficiently far from Ireland's Atlantic coast, at least until the winds shift once again. Until Iceland's Eyjafjallajokul volcano stops its emissions, the key to the future course of Europe's ash crisis will be the prevailing Atlantic winds. When the winds blow to the northeast toward the unpopulated Arctic, typical in springtime, the danger to aircraft is minimised. But when they shift southward, as happened both this week and in mid-April, airlines' ability to land and depart safely can be jeopardised. The glacier-capped volcano, about 900 miles (1,500 kilometres) northwest of Ireland, has shown no signs of stopping since it began belching ash on April 13. It last erupted from 1821 to 1823. In Iceland, a civil protection official Agust Gunnar Gylfason said the eruption intensified on Wednesday and the volcano continued to emit a higher volume of ash on Thursday. He said the ash plume's maximum altitude was oscillating between 20-thousand and 30-thousand feet (6,000 and 9,000 metres). Until recent days, the ash had remained below 20-thousand feet (6,000 metres) Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: infoaparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.

Protestors throwing stones at jeep as they drive away, Halamish settlement in background STORYLINE U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell met Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Friday, part of a trip to the region to get peace talks up and running between Israel and the Palestinians. Mitchell was in the West Bank to secure Palestinian agreement on indirect peace talks with Israel, and to try and bridge their vast differences on what a future Palestinian state should look like. The two met at the Palestinian presidential compound in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Abbas had agreed to indirect peace talks, but said he still required the formal backing of Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) leaders who will meet on Saturday. The Palestinians refuse to enter direct negotiations unless Israel halts all settlement construction in east Jerusalem and the West Bank. Meanwhile on Friday, approximately 50 protesters, including Palestinians, Israelis and foreigners, clashed with Israeli soldiers and border policemen near the west bank village of Nabi Saleh. The clashes erupted during a weekly protest over a spring claimed by both Palestinians and Jewish settlers. The protestors hurled rocks towards the soldiers and policemen and the soldiers fired tear gas in retaliation. The Palestinians claim the settlers took over the spring, and that since then they have not been able to access it. An Israeli army spokesperson said that Israeli forces broken up the demonstration but made no comment on the status of the spring and access to it. Earlier on Friday Mitchell had met Israeli President Shimon Peres in Jerusalem. Peres declared Israel was ready to reach an agreement on Palestinian statehood, but first wanted its security concerns addressed.

Devotee taking photograph 9. Pan of Dalai Lama walking down corridor STORYLINE The Tibetan exile movement must press forward with its talks with the Chinese government despite almost no progress from years of negotiations, the Dalai Lama said on Friday. In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, the exiled spiritual leader warned that it could be decades before any benefits of such talks with China are obvious. "So far, dialogue failed, but that does not mean in future no possibility," the Dalai Lama said in his private compound in Dharmsala, the Indian hill town where he has lived since fleeing Tibet more than five decades ago. He said Tibetans were prepared to keep waiting for an improvement in their relationship with Beijing. "We wait now 51 years. Now another 10, 20 years we can wait," he said. The Dalai Lama has said he hopes talks will bring some form of autonomy for Tibet within China that would allow the Tibetan culture, language and religion to thrive. But Beijing frequently accuses the Nobel Peace laureate of seeking independence for Tibet. "Now, whole world knows we are not seeking independence, but then it is Chinese officials who always repeat, we are splittist," the Dalai Lama said. But he added that increasing sympathy for the Tibetan cause among Chinese intellectuals indicates that Beijing's policies could change. He also said there had been vague signs from Beijing that some of the top Chinese leadership might be ready to moderate its stand on Tibet. Talks between China and the Dalai Lama's envoys resumed in January for the first time in 15 months but made no apparent progress on the Tibetans' proposal for more autonomy in the region. Beijing refused to even talk about granting Tibet more latitude, limiting those discussions to the future of the exiled spiritual leader. The Dalai Lama fled his homeland in 1959, nine years after Communist troops marched into the Himalayan region. Beijing claims Tibet has been a Chinese territory for centuries, but many Tibetans say they were effectively independent for most of that time and that migration to the region and restrictions on Buddhism are threatening their cultural heritage.

Close of Chinese tourists STORYLINE China opened a tourism office in Taiwan on Friday, its first official presence on the island since the island split from the mainland amid civil war in 1949. The officials from both sides were hoping that the opening of the office would strengthen tourism links between Taipei and Beijing. About 600-thousand Chinese tourists visit Taiwan annually. China's National Tourism Administration chief Shao Qiwei attended the gala ceremony that marked the opening of the office. "This tourism bureau is China's first official institution based in Taiwan in 61 years. It has set a remarkable page in the history for Taiwan and China, And it's also a milestone for enhancing both sides' regular exchange," Shao said during the ceremony. Taiwan opened its tourism office in Beijing on Tuesday. Since taking office in 2008, Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou has actively promoted ties with Beijing. Cross-straits relations, which have been more hostile in the past, are at their warmest in years under Ma's tenure. Since he was elected, the two sides have resumed high-level dialogues, set up regular direct transportation links and allowed a greater number of Chinese tourists to visit in the hope of boosting Taiwan's economy. Taipei and Beijing are expected to sign a landmark trade agreement next month. Despite the split 60 years ago, China considers the self-ruled, democratic island of Taiwan as a renegade territory, and ultimately wants reunification. Taiwanese officials are hopeful that tourism will aid in promoting better relations and understanding overall. Since 2008, Taiwan began allowing mainland Chinese to visit as part of group tours, while Taiwanese have been coming to do business in China for years. Last year, Taiwan got about one (m) million Chinese visitors, while China recorded about four (m) million Taiwanese.

Various of children waving South African flags STORYLINE The World Cup trophy went on display in Cape Town on Friday, ahead of its countrywide tour of South Africa. The solid gold trophy was unveiled in the Khayelitsha township, on the Cape Flats outside Cape Town, following an unexpected visit a day earlier by South Africa's former president Nelson Mandela. Hundreds of football fans turned out to get a glimpse of the trophy on Friday, many waving South African flags and wearing brightly coloured costumes. Organisers said over 400-thousand people will get to see the trophy as it visits a total of 38 cities and townships before the 2010 tournament kicks off on 11 June. The 36-centimetre (14.2 inch) high trophy will be transported between venues in a special helicopter, organisers said. Football's biggest prize made a 130-thousand-kilometre (80-thousand-mile) journey across the world, where it visited 86 nations, before arriving in the 2010 host country earlier this week. Having begun its 134-thousand kilometre journey in Zurich, Switzerland, it is finally in the country where it will be presented to the World Cup's winning team after the final in Johannesburg on 11 July. The Cup tour will also take in The Waterfront and Athlone in Cape Town. As at all locations, around 800 people will get the chance to be photographed with the 18-carat gold trophy through a competition. According to FIFA rules, only heads of state and victorious captains and coaches may touch the World Cup Trophy. Having replaced the Jules Rimet Trophy, it was first awarded in 1974.
