INTERVIEW NEW YORK PANEL Mariana Romo-Carmona 1:26:33 Yes I think that lesbian and gay families have a wonderful opportunity to begin to question and challenge the notion of traditional family because I think that there is no traditional family anymore. Anyway, I think that lesbians and gays have had children have been parents have been part of families forever. And I think that what's happening now is that we're the first generation of openly gay parents. And so for us it's has become a political issue has become a way to try to, to be able to be happy with our children to be able to have the kind of family life the kind of family joys that other people have Robert Lipsyte 1:27:14 Yeah so probably Wayne, I'm probably wrong to ask a proud new father. But in terms of the the new family, the alternative family, the extension of the family, it's more than parents and children one would think, Wayne Steinman 1:27:28 Well it's clearly more than parents and children, I would, I don't see our parenting as recapitulating or in any way mimicking heterosexual society, lesbians and gay men have the unique situation we where we choose to become parents, we don't have the pressures of traditional heterosexual relationships, forcing married people to have children. This is something that we have chosen to do. My partner and I chose to have a child because we wanted it we have a warm and loving home and we wanted to share that home. I think that the the way society views lesbians and gay men who are parenting, you know, it unfortunately, lends itself to certain types of criticisms, which are totally unfounded where you know, where they interject our sexual orientation, where that is such a minor portion of our day to day raising of our children. I think we need to look at it in a much broader spectrum. Robert Lipsyte 1:28:27 Yeah, well, let's look at it from a special point of view. Gabrielle, what's your take on this? Gabrielle Lowe 1:28:34 What's my take on? Robert Lipsyte 1:28:35 Are you heterosexual? Gabrielle Lowe 1:28:36 Yes. But I don't really think that's an issue. I think that it's more important to talk about what it's like growing up with gay parents as opposed to straight parents or whatever. I mean, I don't think that's really, that has anything to do with it. My mother was very honest with me always. And I think it was really important. She was proud of what she was. She is proud of what she is. She's the strongest person I ever met. And I it was always to me, it was always something that was interesting. That was set her apart a little bit, but it was never something that I worried about. Robert Lipsyte 1:29:16 Ginger, I wonder what your panelists particularly the the nursing father has to say?

So a lot of my knowledge about foreign affairs isn't just what I studied in school, you know, I studied international relations when I was in college- it's not just the work that I do on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, it's actually having the knowledge of how ordinary people in these other countries live.

SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Vox pop, Resident: "It was afternoon, the earthquake started, our house collapsed and now everything is broken, our television, our dish, everything." 20. Close up box in rubble STORYLINE: A strong quake shook a wide area of South and Central Asia on Sunday, killing at least one person, injuring several more, damaging buildings in the Afghan capital and sending people scrambling into the streets in five countries. The late afternoon quake on Sunday was felt in parts of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. The US Geological Survey in Golden (USGS), in the American state of Colorado, said the quake measured at seven point two - enough to cause severe damage. Pakistani and Indian seismologists measured the quake at six point seven. The USGS said the epicentre was about 240 kilometres (150 miles) northeast of Kabul in the Hindu Kush mountains. The US institute called the quake the strongest in the region since another seven point two quake on December 30, 1983. Earthquakes and seismic activity are common in this part of the world and particularly in the Hindu Kush mountains, though they are not usually felt over such a wide area. In the Afghan capital of Kabul, at least a dozen people were hospitalised with injuries and 26 houses were badly damaged or destroyed. Residents of poor neighbourhoods of mud, brick and wood homes fled into the streets with their children. In the war-shattered city, it was difficult to ascertain which buildings were damaged because of the quake and which were victims of two decades of civil war. However, residents said they saw dust rising into the air from buildings collapsing during the quake. Four children were reported to have received treatment at Kabul's Children's Health Hospital. One man was pronounced dead at Kabul's Italian-run emergency hospital, a hospital spokesman said on condition of anonymity.

Indonesia Aceh - Aftermath of earthquake and tsunami close to epicentre

Rescue crews trying to fold victim''s arms 11. Various of cracks in road STORYLINE: Towns were levelled and bodies were wedged in trees and debris by massive tsunamis that struck northwestern Indonesia Sunday, a result of the 8.9-magnitude quake centred just off Sumatra''s coast. Some 1,902 were reported dead throughout Indonesia, and Aceh province on Sumatra island - torn by separatist violence for years - was the hardest-hit part of the vast archipelago. Video footage showed destroyed buildings amid floodwaters. Rescue crews removed victims from debris and placed them in makeshift morgues. The scope of the disaster became apparent only after waves as high as six metres (20 feet) crashed into coastal areas throughout the Indian Ocean and Andaman Sea. The death toll climbed throughout the day and was expected to grow even higher as more bodies were discovered. The US Geological Survey''s Web site recorded the magnitude-8.9 earthquake off the west coast of northern Sumatra, 1,620 kilometres (1,000 miles) northwest of Jakarta. It was centered 40 kilometres (25 miles) below the seabed. Aftershocks struck in the magnitude-7 range. The earthquake was the world''s fifth most powerful since 1900 and the strongest since a 9.2 temblor slammed Alaska in 1964, US earthquake experts said. Towns nearest the epicentre were levelled by tidal waves, which were blamed for most of the deaths. Indonesian officials warned the death toll could rise dramatically. A spokesman for Indonesian state-owned Garuda Airlines said Banda Aceh''s airport was flooded and planes were unable to land. Keywords - Indian ocean earthquake tsunami
France Polanski - Lawyer comments on US extradition request
NAME: FRA POLANSKI 20091023I TAPE: EF09/0997 IN_TIME: 10:38:18:06 DURATION: 00:02:11:04 SOURCES: AP TELEVISION DATELINE: Paris, 23 Oct 2009 RESTRICTIONS: SHOTLIST: 1. Exterior of Palais de Justice in Paris 2. Herve Temime, Roman Polanski's French Lawyer walking towards camera 3. SOUNDBITE: (French) Herve Temime, Roman Polanski's French lawyer: (Q: Were you hoping the US weren't going to go ahead with the extradition request?) "Nothing more, I have nothing more to say, Mr Polanski will be notified of the US extradition request. He will oppose this request and continue to ask to be released until the request is examined. We will reiterate once again that he will commit himself to stay in Switzerland as long as the procedure takes place and offer the strongest and most suitable guarantees required by the Swiss judicial system." 4. Temime walking away STORYLINE: The United States has asked Switzerland to hand over Roman Polanski to authorities in California, where he could serve up to two years in prison for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl, Swiss authorities said on Friday. The US Justice Ministry said in a statement that Washington filed its formal extradition request late on Thursday. The 76-year-old filmmaker has been in Swiss custody since his arrest on September 26 as he arrived in Zurich to attend a film festival. The request has been forwarded to Zurich authorities, who will hold a hearing on an unspecified date to decide whether Polanski should be sent back to Los Angeles. "He will commit himself to stay in Switzerland as long as the procedure takes place and offer the strongest and most suitable guarantees required by the Swiss judicial system," Polanski's French lawyer Herve Temime said in Paris on Friday. If extradition is approved, Polanski may appeal the decision to Switzerland's top criminal court and, theoretically, to the Federal Supreme Court. That means the director of such film classics as "Rosemary's Baby" and "Chinatown" could remain in a Swiss jail for months more of legal wrangling, even though legal experts say he has little chance of avoiding a return to the United States after 31 years as a fugitive. The maximum sentence Polanski can receive in California is two years, the US Justice Ministry said. Polanski, who won a 2003 directing Oscar in absentia for "The Pianist," was accused of raping the 13-year-old girl after plying her with champagne and a Quaalude pill during a modelling shoot in 1977. He was initially indicted on six felony counts, including rape by use of drugs, child molesting and sodomy. Polanski pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of unlawful sexual intercourse. In exchange, the judge agreed to drop the remaining charges and sentence him to prison for a 90-day psychiatric evaluation. Polanski was released after 42 days by an evaluator but the judge said he was going to send him back to serve the remainder of the 90 days. Polanski then fled the country on February 1, 1978, the day he was to be sentenced. A French native who moved to Poland as a child, Polanski has lived in France since fleeing the United States. France does not extradite its citizens.
