PERRIER RECALLED
The company that made bottled mineral water chic is voluntarily recalling its entire inventory of Perrier from store shelves throughout the United States after tests showed the presence of the chemical benzene in a small sample of bottles. The impurity was discovered in North Carolina by county officials who so prized the purity of Perrier that they used it as a standard in tests of other water supplies. The Food and Drug Administration said it is testing supplies in California and other states. In a written statement issued last night, Ronald V. Davis, president of the Perrier Group of America Inc., said there was no significant health risk to the public. But the statement did not go into the details of the recall, how it would work, the number of bottles to be recalled and the impact on a company that has built its success on its product's image of purity and stylishness. William M. Grigg, a spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration, said his agency's Hazard Evaluation Board had collected samples of Perrier and found no immediate risk to the public from the benzene in the water. ''At these levels there is no immediate hazard,'' he said. ''The hazard would be that over many years, if you consumed about 16 fluid ounces a day, your lifetime risk of cancer might increase by one in a million, which we consider a negligible risk. You don't have to be concerned if you just had a bottle of Perrier.'' Mr. Grigg said the authorities had not determined the source of the benzene contamination, ''but North Carolina thinks this is a new problem.'' The North Carolina Health Department found the traces in bottles of Perrier in the last few days. After the state department notified the F.D.A., the Federal agency tested bottles in North Carolina and Georgia and confirmed the state's findings. Mr. Grigg said tests found that the amount of benzene contamination ranged from 12.3 to 19.9 parts per billion. The Federal Environmental Protection Agency has established a maximum contamination level of 5 parts per billion of benzene for public drinking water supplies. Dr. Ronald H. Levine, the state health director in North Carolina, said in a telephone interview from Raleigh that the benzene was first detected in Charlotte by the Mecklenburg County Environmental Health Department. ''They use Perrier water as their standard in their lab for testing other water,'' he said. He added that health officials started having trouble in the laboratory and specialists there concluded the problem was with the standard. The county authorities notified state officials, who confirmed the presence of benzene. Bottled in 1989 ''It was in a number of different lots that were bottled in 1989,'' Dr. Levine said. State officials reported their findings to the F.D.A. and the company, and issued a statement suggesting that the public not consume the product. Perrier water, sold in little pear-shaped green bottles, is drawn from a natural underground mineral spring in Vergeze, France, and is bottled only at the source. The company's statement said the French Ministry of Health had certified that there was no contamination at the spring. The company said the search for the source of contamination is focusing on the packaging and distribution process. Perrier is conducting an extensive internal investigation and is cooperating with Federal and state officials, the statement said. Cancer in Animals Benzene, a natural component of crude oil, has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals and is believed to do the same in humans. Reporters' telephone calls last night to the Perrier company and to Mr. Davis's home were not answered. The statement said Perrier had scheduled a news conference in Old Greenwich, Conn., today to discuss the recall. What impact the recall will have on user patterns and on Perrier itself was unclear last night. Told of Perrier's action, Sirio Maccioni, owner of Le Cirque restaurant in Manhattan, said: ''Oh, my God. Oh, my God.'' Then, after a pause, he added, ''Well, we have a lot of other water, the Saratoga, the San Pellegrino.'' 'Maybe We'll Sell Some Wine' Another restaurant owner, Andre Soltner, of Lutece in Manhattan, said, ''Oh, my God.'' Then he paused and added, ''Maybe we'll sell some wine now.'' Mr. Soltner said Perrier consumption was up twentyfold in his restaurant over the last five years. At Washington Square Bar and Grill in San Francisco, a bartender, Alan Sharf, said he had not heard that Perrier was being recalled, but he did not think a recall would affect business there.. ''It is pretty popular,'' said Mr. Sharf, ''but this being California, we have our local water, so it won't affect our business. It's pretty easily replaced.'' A bartender at Pierre au Tunnel, a French restaurant in midtown Manhattan, said: ''People think it's prestigious; it's an 'in' thing. We sell a lot of it.'' ''To me I think it's the biggest hype since the Beatles,'' said the bartender, who would give only his first name, Alan. A man who answered the telephone at the D'Agostino Supermarket at 74th Street and Broadway in Manhattan early this morning said that he had not heard of the recall and that Perrier was selling well. ''People buy it by the case,'' he said. Jesse Meyers, publisher of Beverage Digest, a newsletter for the soft drink industry, said, ''Perrier is the largest mineral water producer in the world and has for many years set worldwide standards in quality and production levels.''

POP MUSIC
INTERVIEW CONTINUES: Pete Fornatale 46:14 just beautiful. You know, the arguments about whether Dylan can sing or not saying he's a stylist, but when someone with a voice Dion 46:24 I think Dylan has a beautiful voice maybe listen to slow train come if he wanted to sing it sing, you know, he could. You know, he's, he's a funny if he ever came out and did a concert and just, I mean, actually sang the melody to something like, you know, come gather around you wherever you are. If he ever did to melody, they'd have to rebuild Madison Square Garden. Pete Fornatale 46:54 I know what you're saying. And, you know, I mean, you can have that conversation about Leonard Cohen, you could have that conversation about Tom Waits. These guys are giants. And when they do their own material, you're privileged to be witnessing it. But when someone with an instrument like yours, when Judy Collins does, just like Tom thumb's blues, it's, it's transcended what you just did with one too many mornings is transcendent. Dion 47:20 Well, I you know, I never considered myself having a voice. I consider myself I love to sing. And I don't mean that as a put down to myself, I think I'm a rhythm singer. So I try to sing like in I can't hold notes. So I get off on quick. You know what I mean? I you know, to me people with a voice, they hold notes, and sometimes even have tremolo that's why I liked Hank Williams. When I first heard Hank Williams, you know, see, I used to go to Italian weddings coming from the Bronx. And well, here I am growing up in the Bronx, and this little Italian section, I go to weddings, you know, my uncle Frank would get on stage and he'd sing his throat with a girl. That's the ugliest thing I ever saw in my life. So when I heard Hank Williams, you know, hone down on round. Tom, you know, he was like, had no tremolo at all. And he would bite the last word of every sentence and rip it off. And I'd go wow, that is cool. I just, you know, and the words would teach you how to live. This was something Yeah, this is something to listen to. Yes, they Well, that's what roped me in. Pete Fornatale 48:40 I want to get this out of the way because it's something someone mentioned to me. Is there any way with this record? Bronx in blue, that you're distancing yourself from rock and roll? Dion 48:51 Absolutely not. This is just, you know, you know, a lot of people see I've been reading, I did a few shows in New York. And I was reading some of the, the reviews or people interpreting what I was doing. And a lot of people get it. They just, they just, they tie in into everything I've done, you know, in ways. And if I sat in a room and sang songs that I that Phil Spector produced, I mean, songs that, you know, my songs that Phil Spector produced or sang songs that I did with a group, you know, from the Bronx vocal group, or I did. What, whoever was better if I sit in a room and sang all those songs with my guitar, it all sounds like Dion music. It's just like, you know, this album just is cut back. It doesn't have it's not produced. It's just done. Pete Fornatale 49:49 That is the way it should be. You you, you have a palette of many colors. Did you ever sing opera? That's the only thing I told you. Dion 49:57 I can't hold notes. So I would I would conduct Pete Fornatale 50:02 that's the only form I made a list of things that you've done songs and or albums about. And here's the list, blues, country, folk, rock and roll, folk rock, gospel, jazz standards, you know your way around a standard, where or when, in the steal of the night, those were as legitimate Dion 50:26 as they were when was a real stretch, a real stretch because, well, it's a song I would have never seen never. But the guy who own glory records at the time, Alan Sussel, it was his favorite song. And I really loved the man. And I said, we got to do an arrangement. And so I just stretched, you know, in fact, in fact, Joe Zito a jazz pianist, I set the Belmonts and I down and gave us notes, because there were a few notes, a few chords that we never heard of. So he just gave us some, you know, some harmonies on some of the changes. But that was a stretch Pete Fornatale 51:12 in retrospect that you're glad you did it? Dion 51:16 Well, I'm glad I did it for the reason I did it. You know, but as far as like having to do is it's hard to do that song because it's a stretch. And as I move on, it's more of a stretch Pete Fornatale 51:28 your solo version of in the Still of the night. It's called Porter, right. Not the five set, you're probably the only one who did both the five satins in the Scylla. Reporters. Absolutely. But you're side by side with Sinatra. It works. Dion 51:45 Yeah, well, there's some great songs back there, you know, no doubt about it. You know, I just you could, you know, in fact, back then, when I when I was coming up, just to show you like the crazy things you would not crazy, but you would want to ingest or, you know, everything that was in prep, there wasn't much. You know, there was a lot of showbusiness around you with the crooners. You know, like if I watched the victim mon on on Ed Sullivan, it looked like he just took a voice lesson. I'd rather watch Jimmy Duranty singing fairy tales can come true. It could happen to you. If you're young at heart, you know, I'd rather watch him sing communicate a song. But for me, I was walking in Pelham Bay one day, just show you how wild it was for me now that I look back on what I was doing. I'm walking in Pelham Bay, and I hear this ethereal music coming out of the synagogue. And I walk in I'm like, what is that? You know? Because it's like Dion 53:02 what? Hold on, you know, and I'm walking in. I'm looking around and the sky. Henry Rosenblatt comes out and he says you like that and brings me in the back and he starts playing me. His dad's music ersel Useless. I don't know how to say it and Yiddish but it Rosenblatt who was in the original Jazz singer with Al Jolson. And he was he was a canta a famous Jewish canta. Rosenblatt senior and he started playing me the records. I was in trouble with this stuff. So when I went back home, I wrote born a cry, you know, I wrote Dion 53:47 you know, who, who recently did this the hives? I bet you they don't know. It's like, fusion Jewish and rock and roll. It's kind of a fusion that's Jewish rock and roll. They don't know it. But, you know, the hives just, they end this show with it. They did it on two videos. I was like, knocked I wrote it when I was 16 You know, but it has that cantering in it my crew Dion 54:19 and my so I was like, you know, digesting all these different that's what we that's whatever I was exposed to, right. Pete Fornatale 54:30 But that's, you know, mix that all up. And, and you come out that's that's what I think is is unique about everything that you've chosen to put your stamp on. Want to talk about a dark time. The Beatles happen. The string of hits ends for you, plus you having terrible personal problems. Mid 60s, right. Did you think it was the end? Did you think it was all over? How How did you reconcile all of that? Dion 55:03 Well, I wasn't too conscious of that, that business change because I had found all these albums that John Hammond gave me. So I was kind of woodshedding. But I was using a lot of drugs drinking a lot in the mid 60s, you know, I was, I was one of those guys, you know, put me right in the mix. You know, they say, if you remember the 60s, you really weren't there. And you know, I don't remember the 60s, but the mid 60s, I would say what most bleakest, darkest emotional period of my life because, you know, I was, I was using these drugs, and it got worse and worse. And it's a funny thing about drugs, if you use them like I did, there's like three stages. The first stage is you have a lot of fun. The second stage is fun, and some problems. And then the third stage is like, problems, period, and it could kill you, and it did kill people. So I started seeing, you know, it's a funny thing, that rock'n'roll is we pride ourselves on being free, and, and knowing the truth, you know, truth and freedom, big thing to us, you know. And, you know, we'd like to express that and turn up the amps and let everybody know it right in your face. But I started seeing a lot of the guys I knew die very broken, not ever coming to the full knowledge of the truth, or never appropriating what they were singing about in their lives, they never really got their own message. So you know, it started to I started to wonder about that. I said, you know, how do you how do you actually be, you know, how does this become intrinsic? Yeah, it was saying these things, but how does it become part of you? And for me, I said a prayer one day, back in 68, and I haven't had a drug of a drink and 38 years, so my life really, totally changed around you know, Pete Fornatale 57:00 do you still perform in your own backyard? Dion 57:04 Who I don't remember that? Pete Fornatale 57:06 It is. You don't even have to try. It is just simply one of the best. coming out the other end of the experience that you just described, Dion 57:17 like an anti drug song that isn't an anti drug song. Pete Fornatale 57:20 It's a pro life song. It's yeah, it's good. Let's listen to it. I'm mixed bag ready. Gotta put that in. Its killer still, to this day, in your own backyard. That's Deon. He, it kind of helped put him back on the road to recovery and the road to the amazing career that he's had for himself. When did you become aware of the Beatles? And what did you think of them? Dion 57:44 You want to know? To be honest with you, I was never into the Beatles. I just wasn't, there was some great songs they did. But personally, I was like, I was hanging out in the village in the mid 60s with lightning Hopkins and the spoonful will come in around so I enjoy their music. And, you know, I was with Richie Havens, Tim Hardin, I was hanging out with and, and Mike Bloomfield, you know, they started the whole Butterfield. And so I was like, involved with all these guys in the village at the time I was had an apartment down then, when the village was the village, in the 60s. And the Beatles thing, like I was talking a little Richard and he was he wasn't a Beatle fan at all, because he thought that, you know, Ringo was you know, if you ever had like, like, Ringo was the farthest thing away from a black drummer, you could find it was almost like, you know, too rigid form or too confusing for like, you know, to really get something going so but, you know, the stones were a little different story. You know, I had a little go with them, you know, but they did it for me. And, you know Pete Fornatale 58:53 How did you find out that you were on the cover of Sergeant Pepper and what did that mean to you? Dion 58:59 You mean what did it mean for them? That's why I think so, so much. You gotta humble guys. John Lennon. John Lennon. It's a you know, when you're from the Bronx, you gotta go for these things. Dion 59:19 John Lennon loved Ruby baby, you know, he just and he took he actually took the photo off the cuff I met. I met John and George on 57th Street when they came in to do the madness. Carnegie Hall, one of the shows they did here for Sid Bernstein. And, and he liked, you know, where do you get that Ruby baby? He was like, he liked that song, you know? So I guess the, you know, somewhere they threw it on there. I never asked them. Pete Fornatale 59:53 It's, you're in a very select, very select group. And yet just another one of those Those honors that have come your way just by doing what you do and being who you are. And end of story. We're at the point now where you've come out the other side of your personal problems, and reclaiming your rightful place in the music business. So the question here is, who is Dick holler? And why was he important in your life? Dion 1:00:24 Well, he he brought me this little song, you know, when it was like... his email friend, Abraham candidum, and when he's gone, a lot of people but the good night, you know, it's like, and I thought, yeah, thanks. But it's I, you know, it sounded like a little, kind of an opportunist thing. And my wife said Dion, she said that, you know, that's a, that's a that's a gospel tune. It's talking about a state of love that does exist, and you have to work to make it real. You know, you know, and then I had somebody else, go ahead, you know, you could kill the dream of, but you can't kill the dream. And that's what that song I said, Whoa, ye. So I put, I got my guitar. And I put that arrangement to it. I'm gonna do the whole thing, because I don't have the whole thing but it's like.... Dion 1:01:30 So I did it like in because I was I was 1968. And I was hanging out with Tim Hardin. And Tim Horton was, he didn't sing louder than this says, You look to me, like Misty roses. So I was, you know, we were sitting, we would sit around the houses, you know, with the fireplace on down in the village, and we, and we get these acoustical guitars. And we, and I put the arrangement together like that. And I did it, you know, and never thought it would be, you know, it's sold millions of records. And I got was before email, and I must have got 5000 postcards from college students all over the country thanking me for making a very, very confusing time because Bob Kennedy was assassinated. I mean, Martin Luther King was assassinated. And Bobby Kennedy was at his funeral. And he said, Who's the next senseless victim that's going to get struck down by some assassins, you know, and a couple of months later, he was gone. It was out of frustration. We put the song together and the cards that I that I received, said, you know, thanks for making sense of something so horrible and horrendous. Thanks for bringing something good out of it, you know, that we're making it you know, giving us a solution. Pete Fornatale 1:02:54 It has retained all of its power these days, you are dedicating it to the troops. When you perform it, Dion 1:03:01 I dedicated to all those men and women of virtue, whether they are the people at 911, who were running up those steps, the firemen, the police officers, the health workers, you know, when push comes to shove those people that have that virtue, whether they're in the armed forces, fighting for our freedom, the you know, look at police officers, they they're out there guarding our kids, while we're here having fun with the hillbilly music or whatever we're doing Pete Fornatale 1:03:31 my youngest son is one of them. And why it's royalty. You know, Dion 1:03:35 we're around royalty around these guys. You've also fold Pete Fornatale 1:03:39 it in will the circle be unbroken into your arrangement of it and Dion 1:03:43 you it's on the original record? It's on the original record, it's just that I don't have the organ planet so I sang it the other night, but play the original record, you'll hear it in the middle of the organ playing with a circle being bound by and as a sitar in there and Pete Fornatale 1:04:04 see I thought I knew more about you than you did, but you can still teach. Dion 1:04:08 When it comes you probably do when it comes to the musical end of it Pete Fornatale 1:04:14 I yield I yield the floor to the gentleman from the Bronx. I listen, you did that you did that version of it at our 10th anniversary mixed bag party and I'd like to play it for our listeners today on mixed bag radio. That's Dion and a live version of Abraham Martin and John from what was the mixed bag 10th anniversary party. We're a little further along now than we were then then I'll have more with Dion after these messages Dion 1:04:42 I wish you would play the there's an arrangement and acoustical arrangement of it on new masters. That's really you'd really liked I think you'd I really want to play the next big thing but Pete Fornatale 1:04:59 no, no I just want you to get the song in the show. So if you want to do a setup I'm telling you for new masters Dion 1:05:04 there's an arranger, there's an acoustical arrangement of it on new masters. That's really different that people probably haven't heard. It's on an album called new masters and Pete Fornatale 1:05:21 Gret, We'll put it in post production, I'm going to say, let's listen on mixbag radio. That's Dion and an acoustic version of Abraham, Martin and John from the new masters collection. I'll have more with Dion right after this.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: LIAM GALLAGHER'S QUESTION TIME
TAPE_NUMBER: EN0006 IN_TIME: 10:25:25 LENGTH: 05:03 SOURCES: APTN/SINE RESTRICTIONS: All no access Internet, No re-use/re-sale of film/video/TV clips without clearance music/performance rights must be cleared FEED: SCRIPT: English/Nat xfa Title: Liam Gallagher Date: January 2000 Location: London Mr Northern swagger himself, LIAM GALLAGHER, is due to ruffle a few feathers as he speaks candidly about his new album, the Beckhams, the Internet, and manager of Creation Records, Alan McGee. No stranger to controversy, the OASIS frontman held nothing back as he promoted the band's latest album, STANDING ON THE SHOULDER OF GIANTS. The album is Oasis' first since summer 1997. It's also the first time the brothers have recorded without original band members Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and Paul 'Guigsy' McGuigan. Today, the line up reads NOEL and LIAM Gallagher, ALAN WHITE on drums, and new additions GEM on guitar and ANDY BELL on bass. There are one or two other changes as well - Liam Gallagher now plays guitar, and has written his first song to be included in Oasis material 'Little James', about his step-son, Patsy Kensit's child by former husband Jim Kerr. Liam, despite his image as today's archetypal rock and roll star, claims to have spent the recording of this album sober, so that his input to the project would be taken more seriously. Although he still claims to be 'rock and roll' he says that fatherhood has changed his outlook to life and it's this new outlook that has led to his attack on Posh Spice and David Beckham. The 33-year-old star, relating to what it's like to have a baby in the public eye, feels the couple are abusing their responsibility by welcoming celebrity photographers into their child's life for cash. Oasis shot to fame in 1994 with the smash-hit album DEFINITELY MAYBE, and followed it up in 1995 with (WHAT'S THE STORY) MORNING GLORY. They are recognised as the leaders of the early 1990's Brit-pop scene. As part of Creation Records, run by ALAN McGEE, the band's popularity has grown exponentially. However, the band recently dumped the label to record under their own label, Big Brother Records. The split from McGee was anything but smooth. The Oasis frontman savagely attacked the manager during the interview, calling him "a lousy businessman, record boss, whatever... mate!". The band's public image has been shaped as much by controversy like this as by its music. The two brothers happily indulged in public fighting and the usual rock star high jinks, but admissions of illegal drug use by both of them have generated much of the negative press in their native Britain. Noel went so far as saying taking drugs was as normal as "getting up and having a cup of tea in the morning" though he has since retracted this. The album title 'Standing on the Shoulders of Giants' is a quote from Sir Isaac Newton, referring to the debt owed by science to the work of great minds that have gone before. It's also the motto on the side of the British two pound coin. However, Noel philosophically admits that in Oasis' case, most will assume the title refers to the major bands that have influenced their music - The Beatles, The Who, and the Sex Pistols. Noel had promised a more dance orientated record that took the Oasis away from what detractors refer to as its Beatle-Karaoke mode. However, 'Standing...' sees Oasis once again wearing their Sixties' musical influences on their sleeve, although this is not something you would want to mention to Liam.

GVs of Cannes 2. SOT Charlotte Rampling (actress opening the festival): "Yes the MC, I am going to come on and I am going to give a hopefully an amazing speech which I will write, which I am trying to think about so that it will be really fantastic, and then you bring on the people,. I am going to bring on Francis Ford Coppola because we are having apocalypse Now the full version and Liv Ulman and her jury and introduce the people, you talk with them, you say things about the. so you are just the gracious person which makes the opening ceremony and the closing ceremony happen. 3. GV's Cannes 4. SOT Charlotte Rampling (actress opening the festival): " You have to be careful that there is not too much hype, it is getting a bit hypey and a bit sort of Loreal and a bit modely and a bit not really quite about sort of enough about cinema, and not being a purist because you know you need a lot of the other stuff to makes films and all that, but at festivals you don't really need quite such emphasis on all that. It would be nice if it didn't get too commercial. 6. Set up tents 7. SOT Colin Brown, Editor-in-Chief, Screen International (about this year's Cannes) " There is a tendency I think in the press, before the event to summarize Cannes in terms of which countries are represented and which aren't, whereas I think Cannes is fairly neutral to the actually nationalities of the films, they just say look at the film makers." 8. Film clip - La Repititon 9. Film trailer - Shrek 10. Sot Colin Brown - (who's gonna win) " Immediately this throws up the idea that the jury is going to favour very worthy films, slow moving, heavy subject matter and boy I think there will be at least a dozen that fall into that category" 11. VS File footage Jodie Foster: " Oh yes that was like my second day or something, but it was funny and they have it on film and they played it slow motion alot. All I can say is that it was the one day that I had my bloomers on and I am sure glad I did. 12. CA poster 13. SOT Colin Brown, Editor-in-Chief, Screen International " Who knows, it is not beyond the festival to make judgements based on aspects other than the quality of the films, equally it is not unknown for the press to build up rivalries where there are none, and I have heard nothing from either side, so it is all pure conjecture , but that is what, this festival is all about conjecture so you know." 14. Film clip - Moulin Rouge 15. Zoom out. Nicole Kidman arr. at press conference 16. WS Ewan McGregor, Nicole Kidman & director Baz Luhrmann 17. SOT Nicole Kidman: " Yes I mean obviously this would not be my choice if it was under different circumstances to sit in front of everybody and have questions about my personal life, but thank you for not asking one,." 18. CA wide of press conference 20. SOT Nicole Kidman: " In terms of wanting to promote this film I think it is important to promote it because it is not something that a public says yes this is what we want to go and see. I mean obviously it is a musical, we sing a lot of the film, it is very hard to describe in two sentences, and yet the reaction we are getting from almost everybody that sees it is that they have said they have never sen anything like it and that they enjoy it." 21. Film clip - Moulin Rouge 22. Film clip- Wingspan (Maybe I'm Amazed) 23. SOT Paul McCartney:" With Wings it was like, now I was married and we had babies and we are starting all over again in the light of this amazing success of the Beatles, which is a cheeky move if you think about it because we could have stayed up and done like a super group, but I asked Linda if she would be in the group and she didn't know how to play anything. So really what we were doing was what most groups do, is kind of start not really knowing what they are doing. " 24. Film clip - Wingspan (Band on the Run) 25.SOT Paul McCartney: "They were both great fun periods in my life, I loved the Beatles the Beatles were the best band in the world, you know, but Wings was very special for me because it was my family and we were attempting to do it all over again which is virtually impossible in the shadow of the Beatles, but we done, do it, you know. " 26. File footage Paul McCartney with Heather Mills 27. SOT Paul McCartney: " There is a chance that I may get married again, but obviously that is for us to decide and everyone will now, you know we will make it public , if it is going to happen. but it is a little bit embarrassing when people come up to you in the street and say congratulations on you impending nuptials, so it is very nice. I have to say look it is made up but thanks." 28. Film clip - Wingspan (Jet) FESTIVAL PREPARES TO OPEN WITH CAN-CAN The 54th Cannes Film Festival was getting underway on Wednesday with the official premiere of "Moulin Rouge", starring Nicole Kidman and British star Ewan McGregor. The annual film showcase which plays host to some of the biggest names in the film industry is expected to attract about 40-thousand people. A total of 22 films from all over the world were in competition for the prestigious Palme d'Or or Golden Palm award, this year, including productions from Japan and Iran. Despite the presence of new films from established filmmakers such as the Coen Brothers ("The Man Who Wasn't There"), David Lynch ("Mulholland Drive") and Sean Penn ("The Pledge"), many of the films in competition are from little-known directors, and few have been seen before. Colin Brown, editor of film industry weekly Screen International, says that's why this year's Cannes is proving one of the hardest to call. Ingmar Bergman's favourite actress Liv Ullman is heading the jury, after Jodie Foster caused controversy by dropping out earlier this year to star in David "Fight Club" Fincher's next film, "The Panic Room". British actress Charlotte Rampling will open the festival and present the awards when the extravaganza closes on May 20. Rampling is bilingual and last month received an honorary Cesar, France's equivalent of the Oscars. A veteran of the festival, she says Cannes needs to focus more on the films and less on the glamour to recpature its heyday. The opening movie, "Moulin Rouge" from director Baz Luhrmann, is a love story set in the famous Parisian nightclub at the turn of the 20th century. Kidman, who recently split with husband Tom Cruise, was due to be one of the first stars of the fortnight to walk up the famous red carpet when she attended the premiere at the town's Palais des Festivals. She spoke at a press conference to promote the film, pausing to thank the media from avoiding questions about her personal life. The film is a musical based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, and features a 20th century soundtrack including Christina Aguilera, Madonna, the Beatles, Missy Elliot and Pink. Scottish heart-throb Ewan McGregor stars as Christian, who leaves his family's home and heads off to the Montmartre district of Paris, known for its bohemian inhabitants, where sex, drugs and the Can-Can reign supreme. It's not long before Christian meets a courtesan named Satin (Kidman) and a love affair begins. One of the most eagerly anticipated films of the festival is the animated spectacular "Shrek", which features the voices of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz. A new cut of Francis Ford Coppola's harrowing Vietnam war movie "Apocalypse Now" will also be showcased at the festival. Paul McCartney was in Cannes before the big opening to showcase a television documentary on his second most famous band, Wings. The documentary accompanies the release of a new retrospective album, "Wingspan", a two-part compilation that combines Wings' Greatest Hits - among them "Mull of Kintyre", "Jet," and "Band on the Run" - and a second disc of lesser-known songs that document the band's history. It's directed by McCartney's son-in-law, Alistair Donald. The two-hour film, to be aired in the U-S on Friday by ABC, features McCartney home movies and the former Beatle giving a candid interview to his daughter, Mary. In the film, McCartney also talks about his near breakdown after The Beatles split and of his spell in a Japanese jail. He also reveals how he set about rebuilding his music career from scratch. At a press conference, McCartney denied reports that he was planning to marry his new partner Heather Mills.

Wide of police van transporting Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito entering prison after being sentenced to 26 and 25 years respectively STORYLINE Two years ago, as she waited to know whether she'd be found guilty of murdering her British roommate, Amanda Knox was so confident she thought she'd be flying home within hours. She never did. Still behind bars, still waiting for a verdict - this time by an appeals court - the American is a changed woman, family and friends say, more mature, more wary of people around her, increasingly anxious as the moment of truth approaches. The transformation is apparent from the outside. Gone is the Beatles sweater, the confident demeanour, the irreverent smile. Now 24, Knox is conservatively dressed, pale and thinner. At the time of Meredith Kercher's murder, "Amanda was a concentrated mix of sex, drug and alcohol," said Carlo Pacelli, lawyer for Diya "Patrick" Lumumba, the owner of a bar in Perugia who, shortly after the 2007 murder, was unjustly accused by Knox of being the murderer. "This is what emerges from the testimonies. She was not the same pretty girl as you see her now, after four years in detention," Pacelli said. When Amanda entered the spotlight in 2007, with her fair hair, blue eyes and photogenic looks, Knox immediately captivated audiences. Some called her an "angel face" devil, others saw a naive innocent girl caught in a catastrophic judicial mistake. Her father Kurt always tried over the years to communicate a different image of Amanda, fighting what he considered a distorted vision of her. "I think his portrayal of her personality is completely wrong. He obviously does not know who she is", he said recently in response to Carlo Pacelli's description of her daughter. "If I am asked who Amanda is, she is loving, she is caring, she is a family oriented person." Throughout the case, depending on who you asked, she was a she-devil and a femme fatale or a lovey-dovey naive girl. Recently a defence lawyer likened her to Jessica Rabbit - not bad, just drawn that way. Madison Paxton, a friend from University of Washington who has for a year moved to Perugia and visits Knox in prison for six times a month, told Associated Press what she believe are Amanda's feelings as the date of the verdict approaches. "As the verdict gets closer certainly when she is in court you'll be seeing her fear more prominently. She is very hopeful but that's something that she keeps really deep inside of herself because of the last time, the last verdict she was found guilty and she thought she would be going home," she said. Knox was convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering Kercher, a British student in Perugia, and sentenced to 26 years in prison. Co-defendant Raffaele Sollecito, an Italian who was Knox's boyfriend at the time of the crime, was convicted of the same charges and sentenced to 25 years. The deny wrongdoing and have appealed. Knox will know her fate within a week: She hopes to be freed after four years in jail, her accusers are asking the court to stiffen her penalty to life in prison. The appeals court may issue a decision as soon as Saturday, capping a nine-month trial where Knox has appeared at times tense, worn-out and tearful. During the first trial, she would smile to the court, and keep a breezy, even flippant behaviour throughout hearings that inevitably discussed a gruesome murder. In her first public statement to the court, Knox took on a casual, almost amused tone in discussing the presence of a sex toy - a pink rabbit-shaped vibrator - in the Perugia house she shared with the victim. Even as her family maintained she was always respectful and aware of the seriousness of the charges against her, Knox's behaviour didn't help her cause in the eyes of Italian public opinion. Now, she looks down as she enters the court. In recent hearings she held her hands clasped in front of her face as if praying. She has abandoned the "All You Need is Love" T-shirt she once wore in court for Valentine's Day for satin blouses and black trousers.

In her first public statement to the court, Knox took on a casual, almost amused tone in discussing the presence of a sex toy - a pink rabbit-shaped vibrator - in the Perugia house she shared with the victim. Even as her family maintained she was always respectful and aware of the seriousness of the charges against her, Knox's behaviour didn't help her cause in the eyes of Italian public opinion. Now, she looks down as she enters the court. In recent hearings she held her hands clasped in front of her face as if praying. She has abandoned the "All You Need is Love" T-shirt she once wore in court for Valentine's Day for satin blouses and black trousers.

Zoom out to wide of cemetery STORYLINE: The body of an Air France 447 flight attendant was buried in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday, more than three weeks after the Paris-bound flight disappeared with 228 people on board. Lucas Gagliano, 23, was the only Brazilian crew member working on the flight. A Rio de Janeiro native, Gagliano had relocated to France and had been working for the airline for more than two years. He had returned to Brazil to attend his father's funeral fifteen days before embarking on the flight on May 31st. Several hundred people attended his funeral at the Sao Joao Batista cemetery, including his mother, relatives and more than a dozen Air France employees in uniform. The Airbus A330 plane came down in the Atlantic after running into thunderstorms en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. The Brazilian military has led the search and recovery efforts for bodies and debris, while the French are in charge of investigating the crash and the hunt for the flight recorders, or black boxes. Rescue workers have recovered fifty bodies from the crash region near Brazil's Northeastern coast line. At least eleven bodies have been identified. In a written statement on Thursday, Air France Chief Executive Officer Pierre-Henri Gourgeon said two Air France employees had been identified. According to the release, the flight's pilot and a male flight attendant were identified. The airline could not confirm Gagliano as the identified crew member. The cause of the crash is unclear. The plane's two black boxes could be key to determining what happened. French officials said this week that military ships searching for the wreckage have detected sounds in the Atlantic depths but they are not from the flight recorders. Two French-chartered ships are searching an area with a radius of 50 miles (80 kilometres), pulling U.S. Navy underwater listening devices attached to 19,700 feet (6,000 meters) of cable. A French submarine is also searching.

Wide of vigil, pan to the church STORYLINE: Dozens of protesters, many of them of Iranian origin, demonstrated in parts of Europe on Thursday against Iran's attempts to silence dissent after a disputed election result. In Paris, around 50 Iranians protested in front of the Iranian embassy and in Berlin a candle-lit vigil was held. "European governments need to reconsider the relations with Iran, and also the economic sanctions, and what is most important, the Iranian resistance needs to be recognised as legitimate resistance," said Mansour Voyond, of the Iranian Society in Berlin. The protests came as Iran's embattled opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi vowed on Thursday that he wouldn't back down from challenging what he called a rigged presidential election despite the regime's increasing attempts to isolate him. Incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, proclaimed the landslide winner of the balloting, has accused US President Barack Obama of meddling in Iran's affairs. On his Web site, Mousavi levelled unusually strong criticism at the Islamic regime's leaders, saying they were "the main factor for the recent violence and unrest and have spilled the blood of the people." His allegation came nearly a week after supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned the opposition to end street protests or be held responsible for any "bloodshed and chaos." Khamenei has refused to order a new vote despite the biggest demonstrations in the country since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Various of people loading ballots and voting material into a truck STORYLINE: The Honduran president vowed on Thursday to ignore a Supreme Court ruling ordering him to reinstate the military chief he fired, escalating a showdown that has threatened the leftist leader's hold on power. President Manuel Zelaya's attempt to hold a referendum on reforming the constitution has pitted him against the country's top courts, the attorney general, military leaders and even his own party. "When the army rebels against the President, we are going back in time to the stone age, we are going back to the darkest days of the Honduran nation," he told his supporters at a rally. "Members of the armed forces, you are part of the people of this country, don't let anybody blackmail you, don't let anybody use you. Step up for this country that is in search of reforms and the change that will go down in history," he added. Zelaya fired General Romeo Vasquez as head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for refusing to support Sunday's non-binding referendum, but the Supreme Court ordered he be reinstated on Thursday. Zelaya, who sympathises with former Cuban President Fidel Castro and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, has argued that Honduras' social problems are rooted in the 27-year-old constitution. He has not specified what changes he would seek, but opponents accuse him of wanting to emulate Chavez by expanding presidential powers and allowing himself to run for re-election. The referendum asks voters if they want a formal election on whether to call an assembly to write a new charter. The president's dismissal of Vasquez prompted the chiefs of the army, navy and air force to resign. The president himself announced on Wednesday night that Defence Minister Edmundo Orellana had resigned. Vasquez said he could not support a referendum that the courts had declared illegal, but he ruled out the possibility of a coup. Attorney General Luis Alberto Rubi, who asked the court to reinstate the military chief, is also urging Congress to remove Zelaya from office. Zelaya, a wealthy ranch owner grappling with rising food prices and a sharp spike in drug violence, is currently barred from seeking re-election when his four-year term ends in January.

Margaret Chan, how ever, underlined the importance of close monitoring of the spread of the virus, adding that it is "highly unpredictable." Chan arrived in Russia for official talks on the A/H1NA pandemic with the Russian Cabinet. Since the swine flu emerged at the end of April, experts have feared that it could mutate into a virus that combines the contagious nature of swine flu with the virulence of avian flu. The WHO declared a global pandemic earlier this month. In a global update on Wednesday it reported 55,867 laboratory-confirmed cases of the A (H1N1) virus in 108 countries and 238 human deaths from the disease since late March. Only three swine flu cases have so far been confirmed in Russia, with experts predicting the first wave of swine flu in November.

Young boy dressed as Michael Jackson STORYLINE Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the "King of Pop" and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, has died. He was 50. Jackson died on Thursday at UCLA Medical Centre after being stricken at his rented home in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him. His brother Jermaine said it is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, he said the cause of his death "is unknown until results of the autopsy are known." Jermaine Jackson said his brother's personal doctor and paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his rented home in Holmby Hills. A team of doctors at UCLA Medical Centre also tried for more than an hour, Jermaine said. Los Angeles police Lieutenant Gregg Strenk said at a separate news conference that police robbery-homicide detectives have been ordered to investigate, which is common in a high-profile case. Strenk said the coroner's office, which will handle inquiries into the type of death, is taking possession of the body. Across the United States, people reacted in stunned disbelief as word spread of Jackson's death. Within minutes of Jackson's arrival by ambulance at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Centre people began arriving by the hundreds, the crowd quickly filling a grassy entrance outside the hospital. Overhead, news helicopters whirred noisily and TV trucks clogged streets. Hundreds of people gathered outside the hospital as word of his death spread. The emergency entrance at the medical centre, which is near Jackson's rented home, was roped off with police tape. As word spread a few minutes later that Jackson had died, several people burst into tears. Others stood silently, looking pensive, as they waited for official word from the hospital. Angela, one of the fans gathered outside the medical centre, said Jackson's death would affect an entire generation. Another fan in tears said she was in disbelief. A similar scene played out just a couple miles away, in front of Jackson's tony Holmby Hills home, where a Fire Department ambulance had arrived earlier to take him to the hospital. Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage. His 1982 album "Thriller," which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller," is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 million copies sold worldwide. He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves and his high-pitched voice punctuated with squeals and titters. His single sequined glove, tight, military-style jacket and aviator sunglasses were trademarks second only to his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance. Jackson ranked alongside Elvis Presley and the Beatles as the biggest pop sensations of all time. He united two of music's biggest names when he was briefly married to Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie, and Jackson's death immediately evoked that of Presley himself, who died at age 42 in 1977. As years went by, Jackson became an increasingly freakish figure, a middle-aged man-child weirdly out of touch with grown-up life. His skin became lighter, his nose narrower, and he spoke in a breathy, girlish voice. He surrounded himself with children at his Neverland ranch, often wore a germ mask while travelling and kept a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles as one of his closest companions.

People in front of White House fence STORYLINE: Throngs of people gathered at New York's Times Square on Thursday, stunned by the news on big screens that the "King of Pop", Michael Jackson had died. Gasps could be heard as newcomers read newsflashes that Jackson had died of a heart attack at age 50. People could be seen relaying the news to friends and family, making calls and sending text messages. Some in the crowd danced to Jackson's songs and called his name. Others stood in stunned disbelief. "I will always remember being in Times Square when Michael Jackson died," Michael Harris told AP Television. People danced and chanted Jackson's name outside the Apollo Theatre, where the billboard was cleared for the message, "In Memory of Michael Jackson. A True Apollo Legend." Jackson first performed at the Apollo Theatre with his brothers at age 9 in 1969. The Rev. Al Sharpton spoke to a crowd outside the theatre, many of whom clutched Jackson's pictures, played his music and imitated the singer-dancer's signature moonwalk moves. The civil rights leader remembered how Jackson called him in the middle of the night to ask to view James Brown's body after the soul legend's death in 2006. He said he last spoke with him a few months ago. In Washington DC people also reacted with sadness. The sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the "King of Pop" and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died on Thursday at UCLA Medical Centre after being stricken at his rented home in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles.

His single sequined glove, tight, military-style jacket and aviator sunglasses were trademarks second only to his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance. Jackson ranked alongside Elvis Presley and the Beatles as the biggest pop sensations of all time. He united two of music's biggest names when he was briefly married to Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie, and Jackson's death immediately evoked that of Presley himself, who died at age 42 in 1977. As years went by, Jackson became an increasingly freakish figure, a middle-aged man-child weirdly out of touch with grown-up life. His skin became lighter, his nose narrower, and he spoke in a breathy, girlish voice. He surrounded himself with children at his Neverland ranch, often wore a germ mask while travelling and kept a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles as one of his closest companions.

Wide of people crossing the street STORYLINE: People around the world reacted with sadness to news of the death of the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson, who passed away on Thursday aged 50. Uri Geller said Jackson once told him he was a "very lonely man" and that was because "nobody really understood Michael Jackson." "I think he was a happy man when fans were around him," added Geller. "He drank their love. He knew how to absorb their affection; the energy that they were emitting to him." Elsewhere, fans expressed their sorrow across Latin America and in Asia, where he was especially popular. Fans in Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong and the Philippines woke on Friday to the news of Jackson's death and spoke of their shock and sadness. Jackson died at UCLA Medical Centre in Los Angeles. Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, confirmed his office had been notified of the death and would handle the investigation. The circumstances of Jackson's death were not immediately clear. Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage. His 1982 album "Thriller" - which included the blockbuster hits "beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" - is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 (m) million copies sold worldwide. He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves and his high-pitched voice punctuated with squeals and titters. Jackson ranked alongside Elvis Presley and the Beatles as the biggest pop sensations of all time. He united two of music's biggest names when he was briefly married to Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie. As years went by, Jackson became an increasingly freakish figure - a middle-aged man-child weirdly out of touch with grown-up life. His skin became lighter, his nose narrower, and he spoke in a breathy, girlish voice. He surrounded himself with children at his Neverland ranch, often wore a germ mask while travelling and kept a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles as one of his closest companions. Jackson was preparing for what was to be his greatest comeback: He was scheduled for an unprecedented 50 shows at a London arena, with the first set for July 13.

He was besotted with illusions and he was a prankster himself and he'd do little things with the brothers, little humorous things, so when it came to manipulating the media well he had a field day and as you know that's part of history."

It became iconic, the military jacket with the frogging and the epilates and the spangley glove, the trousers that were short so you saw an expanse of white sock.

As we all know the personal things that were going on in his life I'm sure had some sort of stress on him but I just feel like he was more excited to come here and do it, versus stressed.

Medium shot Ricko Baird being interviewed JACKSON REMEMBERED Michael Jackson has left the world with a musical legacy that will live on for years. The dramatic death of the brilliant singer seems to have obscured his recent controversies and has kindled warmer memories of Jackson the child star and Jackson the show-stopping, moonwalking headliner. Albert Schilcher, Senior Director MTV Music said there is no denying the mark that his work has left behind. "When Thriller came out that really changed the way that people thought about music video. Before that it was all performance. He made this mini movie which was just sensational around the world and things were never quite the same after." One memory that will also live on is that of Jackson's distinctive fashion style. Michael Roberts, Vanity Fair's Style and Fashion editor said his look "became iconic, the military jacket with the frogging and the epilates and the spangley glove, the trousers that were short so you saw an expanse of white sock. It was very much a part of his not stepping too far out of childhood thing." Ricko Baird, singer in musical Thriller had the good fortune to work with Jackson as a choreographer. He remembered his high standards when it came to performing citing him as "a perfectionist, a genius musician, a master performer and just amazing."

The 50-year-old musical superstar died on Thursday, just as he was preparing for a series of 50 concerts starting on July 13 at London's O2 arena. He died at UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in the posh Los Angeles neighbourhood of Holmby Hills. Across the United States, people reacted in stunned disbelief on Friday as word spread that the star had passed away. The dramatic death of the singer seemed to obscure his recent controversies and kindle warmer memories of Jackson the child star and Jackson the show-stopping, moonwalking headliner. The worldwide chorus of grief united the famous - statesmen and superstars alike - and the legions of ordinary people who grew up with "Thriller" and "Beat It." Meanwhile, US authorities were seeking to clear up the mystery surrounding Jackson's death, including whether prescription drugs could have been a factor. The autopsy was scheduled to begin on Friday, though results weren't likely to be final until toxicology tests could be completed, a process that could take several days and sometimes weeks. In a news conference on Friday, Lieutenant Ed Winter, assistant chief coroner, said the likelihood was slim that the coroner's office would have anything to release Friday and said results could take six to eight weeks. Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases. Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine said it was believed that Jackson suffered cardiac arrest at his home. In Washington, members of the House of Representatives honoured Jackson's memory with moment of silence. Representative Diane Watson led the tribute to the "King of Pop" saying he had left behind a legacy, while Jesse Jackson Jr lead a prayer. In Times Square on Friday morning live television billboards and news tickers continued to tell the news as tourists and commuters watched on. Among them Carmen Hooker, a 58-year-old fan from Los Angeles, expressed her sadness. "I think he was trying to make a comeback and all his trials and tribulations. I was looking forward to him making a comeback and he dies," she said. Todd Ruoff, a 38-year-old New Jersey resident said he didn't think there would be another entertainer like Jackson. "You've got to think of the moon walk, his dance, his songs, the energy, you know there is really no one who is reminiscent of that type of performer and I don't know that there is going to be another one like him." Other people heading to work in the Harlem neighbourhood in New York City stopped at a makeshift memorial outside Harlem's Apollo Theatre, where Michael Jackson performed as a child. The tributes were being written on Friday on pieces of cardboard, and on newspapers bearing his photo. Fatimah Smalls was among those paying respects, said she had felt really close to Jackson. "We're not related by blood, but his music brought us together, and that's what the love is and that's why I'm here." Fans also gathered to remember him at Detroit's famous Motown museum, where they brought flowers, cards and teddy bears to a makeshift shrine. "He was a legend and I'd like to pay my respect to him, he was great," Larry Smith, a Jackson fan said. Others described how they had grown up listening to Jackson's music and how saddened they were by his death. Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer. An entertainer who united black and white music and one who broke racial barriers on MTV, becoming the first black artist to be prominently featured on the youth-oriented cable TV channel. He dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage. His 1982 album, "Thriller" - which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" - is the best-selling album of all time worldwide. Yet after selling more than 61 (m) million albums in the US and having a decade-long attraction open at Disney theme parks, Jackson died reportedly awash in about 400 (m) million US dollars in debt, on the cusp of a final comeback after well over a decade of scandal. As word of his death spread, radio stations began playing marathons of his hits. The public first knew him as a boy in the late 1960s, when he was the precocious, spinning lead singer of the Jackson 5, the singing group he formed with his four older brothers out of Gary, Indiana. Among their No. 1 hits were "I Want You Back," "ABC" and "I'll Be There."

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and US President Barack Obama walking in to news conference 2. SOUNDBITE: (English) Barack Obama, US President: "The chancellor and I discussed the tragic situation in Iran. Today, we speak with one voice; the rights of the Iranian people to assemble, to speak freely, to have their voices heard, those are universal aspirations. Their bravery in the face of brutality is a testament to their enduring pursuit of justice. The violence perpetrated against them is outrageous and despite the government's efforts to keep the world from bearing witness to that violence we see it and we condemn it." (FIRST RUN 1830 NORTH AMERICA PRIME NEWS - 26 JUNE 2009) 3. Wide side shot of Merkel and Obama 4. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President: "And I'm really not concerned about Mr. Ahmadinejad apologising to me. I would suggest that Mr. Ahmadinejad think carefully about the obligations he owes to his own people. And he might want to consider looking at the families of those who have been beaten or shot or detained." 5. Cutaway of news media 6. SOUNDBITE (German), Angela Merkel, German Chancellor: "Let me tell you yet again very clearly. We are not going to shirk our particular responsibility, but it needs to be brought in line, as the President says, with the legal situation we have in Germany. We are showing a constructive spirit and we will come to a result. I'm confident of that." 7. Merkel and Obama walk away STORYLINE: Standing next to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, US President Barack Obama said on Friday the United States and Germany shared "one voice" in condemning the Iranian effort to crush dissent. He said Iran's leaders could not hide the "outrageous" behaviour of clamping down violently on their people. "We see it and we condemn it," Obama said. Obama spoke in a joint White House appearance with Merkel after they held talks. The two leaders have met three times since Obama took office, allies linked by such international troubles as the war in Afghanistan and a worldwide recession. Keeping pressure on Iran, Obama hailed the Iranian people. "Their bravery in the face of brutality is a testament to their enduring pursuit of justice," Obama said. "The violence perpetrated against them is outrageous. In spite of the government's efforts to keep the world from bearing witness to that violence, we see it and we condemn it." Obama also scoffed at the idea that he should apologise to Iran's leaders for criticising their violent crackdown on demonstrators. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday compared Obama to his predecessor President George W Bush. Iran's violent post election chaos has captured the world's attention and elicited increasingly sharp condemnations from Obama. Iran's ruling clergy have widened the clampdown on the opposition since a bitterly disputed 12 June presidential election and scattered smaller protests have replaced the initial mass rallies. At least 17 people have been killed in a state-led crackdown on protesters. Ahmadinejad was proclaimed the landslide winner over opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi. On Iraq, Obama sought to offer perspective as sporadic but deadly bombings continued to unnerve the nation. US combat troops face a 30 June deadline to leave cities there, part of a broader and gradual withdrawal that is to end American involvement under Obama's watch. The president said bombings would continue, but overall Iraq's security had continued to dramatically improve." Obama said he hadn't "seen as much political progress in Iraq, negotiations between the Sunni, the Shia, and the Kurds, as I would like to see." Obama said Merkel had not committed to taking detainees from the US prison at Guantanamo Bay, but the German Chancellor said her country would not shirk its responsibilities. She was confident, she said, there would be a satisfactory resolution of the issue.

STORYLINE: The Los Angeles Fire Department on Friday released the emergency call from Michael Jackson's home in which the caller said the singer wasn't breathing or responding to efforts to revive him. The 911 call was reportedly made late on Thursday. The unidentified caller reported that a fifty-year-old male was on a bed, he wasn't breathing and wasn't responding to resuscitation efforts and was with his personal doctor at the time. Jackson was pronounced dead later on Thursday at University of California Los Angeles Medical Center. Medical examiners began an autopsy for Jackson on Friday morning, which was expected to last several hours. Additional laboratory tests, including toxicology tests, are likely and those results wouldn't be known for several weeks. Police investigating Jackson's death have seized a car that they said may contain drugs or other evidence. A police spokeswomen said the car belongs to one of Jackson's doctors whom police wanted to interview. She said she did not know the doctor's identity and stressed the doctor was not under criminal investigation.

Mid shot sign STORYLINE: Police investigating Michael Jackson's death were looking for one of the pop king's doctors after seizing a car that they said may contain drugs or other evidence. As medical examiners began an autopsy for Jackson, police towed a BMW from rented home "because it may contain medications or other evidence that may assist the coroner in determining the cause of death," a police spokeswoman said. She said the car belongs to one of Jackson's doctors whom police wanted to interview. Rayner said she did not know the doctor's identity and stressed the doctor was not under criminal investigation. The autopsy began on Friday morning and was expected to last several hours. An official determination on cause of death was not expected for weeks or longer, until more sophisticated tests are completed. In a transcript of the emergency call released by fire officials, a caller reports Jackson was on a bed and not breathing or responding to cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The unidentified caller said Jackson only was with his personal doctor at the time. The pop star died later on Thursday afternoon at University of California Los Angeles Medical Centre. As stores reported they were inundated with orders for Jackson's music, a chorus of grief for the megastar spread around the world, from statesmen to icons of music to legions of heartbroken fans. Diana Ross, who helped launch Jackson's career, said she couldn't stop crying at the sudden and shocking death. Lisa Marie Presley, briefly married to the pop icon in the mid-1990s, said he had confided to her 14 years ago that he worried about facing the same tragic fate as her father, Elvis Presley, who died of a drug overdose at age 42. "The world is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right," she wrote in a long, emotional statement on her MySpace page online. The White House also weighed in for the first time, with a spokesman saying President Barack Obama saw Jackson as a spectacular performer and music icon whose life nonetheless had sad and tragic aspects. The House of Representatives observed a moment of silence. Brian Oxman, a former Jackson attorney and a family friend, said Friday he had been concerned about Jackson's use of painkillers and had warned the singer's family about possible abuse. Oxman claimed Jackson had prescription drugs at his disposal to help with pain suffered when he broke his leg after he fell off a stage and for broken vertebrae in his back. After Jackson was acquitted on child molestation charges in 2005, prosecutors argued against returning to Jackson items including syringes, the drug Demerol and prescriptions for various drugs, mainly antibiotics, in different people's names. Jackson died after being stricken at his rented home in the posh Los Angeles neighbourhood of Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him for three-quarter of an hours there before rushing him to the hospital. His brother Jermaine said Jackson apparently suffered cardiac arrest, an abnormal heart rhythm that stops the heart from pumping blood to the body. It can occur after a heart attack or be caused by other heart problems. Jackson was preparing for a monster comeback bid - a series of 50 concerts that was to begin next month in London. A handful of bleary-eyed fans camped out throughout the night with media outside the Jackson family house in the San Fernando Valley and near his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. People heading to work in New York stopped to pay respects outside Harlem's Apollo Theater, where Jackson performed as a child. A producer said Sunday's BET Awards would be dedicated to Jackson because of his influence on music and pop culture. And a screening of Universal Pictures' "Bruno" in Los Angeles on Thursday night cut a scene involving Jackson's sister La Toya. Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer. His 1982 album "Thriller" - which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" - is the best-selling album of all time worldwide. Yet after selling more than 61 million albums in the U.S. and having a decade-long attraction open at Disney theme parks, Jackson died reportedly awash in about 400 million (m) US dollars in debt, on the cusp of a final comeback after well over a decade of scandal. The public first knew Jackson as a boy in the late 1960s, when he was the precocious, spinning lead singer of the Jackson 5, the singing group he formed with his four older brothers out of Gary, Indiana. Among their No. 1 hits were "I Want You Back," "ABC" and "I'll Be There." He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his backward-gliding moonwalk, his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves and his high-pitched singing, punctuated with squeals and titters. His single sequined glove, tight, military-style jacket and aviator sunglasses were trademarks, as was his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance. "For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words," said Quincy Jones, who produced "Thriller." "He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I've lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him." Jackson ranked alongside Presley and the Beatles as the biggest pop sensations of all time. He united two of music's biggest names when he was briefly married to Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie. Jackson's sudden death immediately evoked comparisons to that of Presley himself, who died at age 42 in 1977. As years went by, Jackson became an increasingly freakish figure - a middle-aged man-child weirdly out of touch with grown-up life. His skin became lighter, his nose narrower, and he spoke in a breathy, girlish voice. He often wore a germ mask while travelling, kept a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles as one of his closest companions and surrounded himself with children at his Neverland ranch, a storybook playland filled with toys, rides and animals. The tabloids dubbed him "Wacko Jacko." After the enormous success of "Thriller," Jackson had strong follow-up albums with 1987's "Bad" and 1991's "Dangerous," but his career began to collapse in 1993 after he was accused of molesting a boy who often stayed at his home. The singer denied any wrongdoing, reached a settlement with the boy's family, reported to be 20 million (m) US dollars, and criminal charges were never filed. Jackson caused a furore in 2002 when he playfully dangled his infant son, Prince Michael II, over a hotel balcony in Berlin while a throng of fans watched from below. In 2005, he was cleared of charges that he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at Neverland in 2003. He had been accused of plying the boy with alcohol and groping him, and of engaging in strange and inappropriate behaviour with other children. The case followed years of rumours about Jackson and young boys. In a TV documentary, he acknowledged sharing his bed with children, a practice he described as sweet and not at all sexual. Despite the acquittal, the lurid allegations that came out in court took a fearsome toll on his career and image, and he fell into serious financial trouble. Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley in 1994, and they divorced in 1996. Later that year, Jackson married Deborah Rowe, a former nurse for his dermatologist. They had two children together: Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., known as Prince Michael, now 12; and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11. Rowe filed for divorce in 1999. Jackson also had a third child, Prince Michael II, now 7. Jackson said the boy, nicknamed Blanket as a baby, was his biological child born from a surrogate mother.

Tracking shot over Jackson records and dvds to fan Leandro STORYLINE: People all over Brazil on Friday mourned Michael Jackson's death, recalling his many visits to South America's largest country. In Salvador's historical city centre, people from the band Olodum reminisced about playing drums alongside the the King of Pop during the filming of the 1996 video "They Don't Really Care About Us." More than one-hundred drummers participated in the video, including Jason de Jesus Queiroz, who was twelve at the time. Queiroz told TV Globo he still could not believe the 50-year-old singer was "gone." The video, which was directed by Spike Lee, also used the Rio de Janeiro shantytown Santa Marta as part of the backdrop of the song, which focuses on class inequality and racism. At the time, Santa Marta was controlled by drug gangs, which caused controversy around the filming since local media reported it was authorised by the community's infamous trafficker Marcinho VP. Today, residents in the revitalised community, which was declared drug-free by Rio de Janeiro's state government in 2008, only remember Michael Jackson's kindness and sensibility. "He chose to come here, as opposed to choosing some of Rio de Janeiro's other wonderful sights like Copacabana and the like. He chose to come into our community," DJ and Santa Marta native Thiago Firmino said. The ledge with a view of Rio de Janeiro's mountains and city landscape, where Jackson did most of the filming, is known as "Michael's ledge" within the community. Jackson impersonators gathered on the commemorative space to celebrate the artist's life. Santa Marta residents placed a memorial sash reading "Be with God Michael." Fan and impersonator Antonia Carlos Gomez said she wanted to keep a small piece of him with her always, as she showed off Jackson-inspired dance moves to local and international press. In Sao Paulo, fans gathered to express their sadness at the loss of their idol who had sold out two shows in Morumbi stadium in 1993. Leandro's devotion was printed all over his arms, with several large tattoos of Jackson's likeliness. Fans Kevin and Gustavo Alves were particularly sad because they had been planning to see Jackson in concert in London, for his "This is It" tour this summer. "His music was a source of happiness, love and hope for us all," Alves told TV Globo. Jackson visited South America's largest country three times. His first visit to Brazil was in 1974, when he was still performing with the Jackson 5.

Fans chanting "Michael" STORYLINE: Fans across the world on Friday reacted with shock and sadness to the death of Michael Jackson, one of the world's iconic pop idols. The 50-year-old musical superstar suffered cardiac arrest and died on Thursday, just as he was preparing for what would have been a series of 50 concerts starting July 13 at London's O2 arena. Word of Jackson's death jolted thousands, from Chinese students, to UK fans hoping to see their idol on stage this summer, to a generation of people around the world who have tried, in vain, to moonwalk. The dramatic death of the singer seemed to obscure his recent controversies and kindle warmer memories of Jackson the child star and Jackson the show-stopping, moon-walking headliner. A sombre crowd of about 100 young people gathered in Beijing for a candle lit vigil to mourn the singer's death. Fans arranged candles in the shape of the singer's name, held posters of the pop star and sang his songs. In the French capital Paris, hundreds of Jackson fans gathered in front of Notre Dame Cathedral. They held up his pictures, sang his songs, danced, cried and shouted in grief. Similar scenes took place in both London and Berlin. An autopsy was planned for Friday, though results were not likely to be final until toxicology tests could be completed, a process that could take several days and sometimes weeks. However, if a cause can be determined by the autopsy, they will announce the results, said a Los Angeles County Coroner Investigator. Jackson died at UCLA Medical Centre after being stricken at his rented home in the posh Los Angeles neighbourhood of Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him. His brother Jermaine said he was believed to have suffered cardiac arrest in his home but the cause of his death was unknown until results of the autopsy were revealed. Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage. His 1982 album "Thriller" - which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" - is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 (m) million copies sold worldwide. Jackson's death prompted broadcasters from Sydney to Seoul to interrupt programmes, while fans remembered a "tortured genius" whose squeals and sliding moves captivated a generation and who sparked global trends in music, dance and fashion.

Wide of audience clapping STORYLINE: With backing from Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, Honduras' leftist president pushed ahead on Friday with a referendum on revamping the constitution, risking his rule in a standoff against Congress, the Supreme Court and the military. Thousands of anti government protestors gathered in the capital Tegucigalpa on Friday and called for the president to step down and many shops, gasoline stations and some schools were closed for fear of disturbances. Meanwhile, government supporters began distributing ballots at 15 thousand voting stations across the country, defying a Supreme Court ruling declaring Sunday's referendum illegal and ordering all election material confiscated. President Manuel Zelaya had led thousands of supporters to rescue the material from an air force warehouse before it could be confiscated. Under Honduran law, soldiers are normally responsible for distributing ballots ahead of elections, but the military leadership has opposed the vote. Zelaya has fired military chief General Romero Vasquez for refusing to support the referendum and vows to ignore a Supreme Court ruling ordering him reinstated. Speaking to journalists on Friday, Vasquez denied that the military was planning a coup against the president, and said they were in fact trying to find a solution to the crisis. Zelaya has the vocal support of his fellow leftist Latin American leaders as he seeks to follow in the path of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in transforming his country through a constitutional overhaul. The Venezuelan leader and former Cuban President Fidel Castro have warned a coup is under way in Honduras and pledged their support for Zelaya. Zelaya says the constitution protects a system of government that excludes the poor, but has not specified what changes he will seek. Opponents fear he will try to extend his rule by lifting a ban presidential re-election. The showdown between the president and virtually all other circles of power in Honduras has plunged the impoverished Central American state into a political crisis with no solution in sight. Congress, led by members of Zelaya's own Liberal Party, has opened an investigation into his mental stability and could declare him unfit to govern. Zelaya lashed out at Congress late on Thursday for considering his ouster. "What congress is doing is wrong. Congress did not elect the president. The president was elected by the people. I can only be censured by the people, and the people censor me at the polls," he said. In Washington, the Organisation of American States held a session to discuss the situation in Honduras. Sunday's referendum has no legal effect - it merely asks people if they want to have a later vote on whether to convoke an assembly to rewrite the constitution. The Supreme Court, Congress and the Attorney General have all said the referendum he is sponsoring is illegal because the constitution says some of its clauses cannot be changed. The constitution, approved in 1982 as Honduras was throwing off two decades of nearly uninterrupted military rule, states that any politician who promotes presidential re-election will be barred from public service for 10 years. The showdown over Sunday's referendum has all but overshadowed the election campaign, which pits Porfirio Lobo of the opposition National Party against Liberal Party candidate Elvin Santos, who resigned as vice president last year complaining that Zelaya had been trying to sideline him in the government. Zelaya, whose four-year term ends in January, has seen his approval ratings fall over the past year as the country grapples with soaring food prices and a spike in drug violence that has saddled Honduras with one of the highest homicide rates in Latin America. At the same time, Zelaya began promoting the constitutional overhaul and deepened his alliance with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who has offered Honduras (m) millions of US dollars in agricultural investment.

Mid shot sign STORYLINE: Police investigating Michael Jackson's death were looking for one of the pop king's doctors after seizing a car that they said may contain drugs or other evidence. As medical examiners began an autopsy for Jackson, police towed a BMW from rented home "because it may contain medications or other evidence that may assist the coroner in determining the cause of death," a police spokeswoman said. She said the car belongs to one of Jackson's doctors whom police wanted to interview. Rayner said she did not know the doctor's identity and stressed the doctor was not under criminal investigation. The autopsy began on Friday morning and was expected to last several hours. An official determination on cause of death was not expected for weeks or longer, until more sophisticated tests are completed. In a transcript of the emergency call released by fire officials, a caller reports Jackson was on a bed and not breathing or responding to cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The unidentified caller said Jackson only was with his personal doctor at the time. The pop star died later on Thursday afternoon at University of California Los Angeles Medical Centre. As stores reported they were inundated with orders for Jackson's music, a chorus of grief for the megastar spread around the world, from statesmen to icons of music to legions of heartbroken fans. Diana Ross, who helped launch Jackson's career, said she couldn't stop crying at the sudden and shocking death. Lisa Marie Presley, briefly married to the pop icon in the mid-1990s, said he had confided to her 14 years ago that he worried about facing the same tragic fate as her father, Elvis Presley, who died of a drug overdose at age 42. "The world is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right," she wrote in a long, emotional statement on her MySpace page online. The White House also weighed in for the first time, with a spokesman saying President Barack Obama saw Jackson as a spectacular performer and music icon whose life nonetheless had sad and tragic aspects. The House of Representatives observed a moment of silence. Brian Oxman, a former Jackson attorney and a family friend, said Friday he had been concerned about Jackson's use of painkillers and had warned the singer's family about possible abuse. Oxman claimed Jackson had prescription drugs at his disposal to help with pain suffered when he broke his leg after he fell off a stage and for broken vertebrae in his back. After Jackson was acquitted on child molestation charges in 2005, prosecutors argued against returning to Jackson items including syringes, the drug Demerol and prescriptions for various drugs, mainly antibiotics, in different people's names. Jackson died after being stricken at his rented home in the posh Los Angeles neighbourhood of Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him for three-quarter of an hours there before rushing him to the hospital. His brother Jermaine said Jackson apparently suffered cardiac arrest, an abnormal heart rhythm that stops the heart from pumping blood to the body. It can occur after a heart attack or be caused by other heart problems. Jackson was preparing for a monster comeback bid - a series of 50 concerts that was to begin next month in London. A handful of bleary-eyed fans camped out throughout the night with media outside the Jackson family house in the San Fernando Valley and near his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. People heading to work in New York stopped to pay respects outside Harlem's Apollo Theater, where Jackson performed as a child. A producer said Sunday's BET Awards would be dedicated to Jackson because of his influence on music and pop culture. And a screening of Universal Pictures' "Bruno" in Los Angeles on Thursday night cut a scene involving Jackson's sister La Toya. Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer. His 1982 album "Thriller" - which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" - is the best-selling album of all time worldwide. Yet after selling more than 61 million albums in the U.S. and having a decade-long attraction open at Disney theme parks, Jackson died reportedly awash in about 400 million (m) US dollars in debt, on the cusp of a final comeback after well over a decade of scandal. The public first knew Jackson as a boy in the late 1960s, when he was the precocious, spinning lead singer of the Jackson 5, the singing group he formed with his four older brothers out of Gary, Indiana. Among their No. 1 hits were "I Want You Back," "ABC" and "I'll Be There." He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his backward-gliding moonwalk, his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves and his high-pitched singing, punctuated with squeals and titters. His single sequined glove, tight, military-style jacket and aviator sunglasses were trademarks, as was his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance. "For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words," said Quincy Jones, who produced "Thriller." "He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I've lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him." Jackson ranked alongside Presley and the Beatles as the biggest pop sensations of all time. He united two of music's biggest names when he was briefly married to Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie. Jackson's sudden death immediately evoked comparisons to that of Presley himself, who died at age 42 in 1977. As years went by, Jackson became an increasingly freakish figure - a middle-aged man-child weirdly out of touch with grown-up life. His skin became lighter, his nose narrower, and he spoke in a breathy, girlish voice. He often wore a germ mask while travelling, kept a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles as one of his closest companions and surrounded himself with children at his Neverland ranch, a storybook playland filled with toys, rides and animals. The tabloids dubbed him "Wacko Jacko." After the enormous success of "Thriller," Jackson had strong follow-up albums with 1987's "Bad" and 1991's "Dangerous," but his career began to collapse in 1993 after he was accused of molesting a boy who often stayed at his home. The singer denied any wrongdoing, reached a settlement with the boy's family, reported to be 20 million (m) US dollars, and criminal charges were never filed. Jackson caused a furore in 2002 when he playfully dangled his infant son, Prince Michael II, over a hotel balcony in Berlin while a throng of fans watched from below. In 2005, he was cleared of charges that he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at Neverland in 2003. He had been accused of plying the boy with alcohol and groping him, and of engaging in strange and inappropriate behaviour with other children. The case followed years of rumours about Jackson and young boys. In a TV documentary, he acknowledged sharing his bed with children, a practice he described as sweet and not at all sexual. Despite the acquittal, the lurid allegations that came out in court took a fearsome toll on his career and image, and he fell into serious financial trouble. Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley in 1994, and they divorced in 1996. Later that year, Jackson married Deborah Rowe, a former nurse for his dermatologist. They had two children together: Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., known as Prince Michael, now 12; and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11. Rowe filed for divorce in 1999. Jackson also had a third child, Prince Michael II, now 7. Jackson said the boy, nicknamed Blanket as a baby, was his biological child born from a surrogate mother.

Aston STORYLINE: The Los Angeles County coroner's office completed its autopsy on Michael Jackson on Friday but said that determining the cause of death will require further tests that will take six to eight weeks. Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey said Jackson's body showed no sign of trauma and foul play was not suspected. The pop star died after on Thursday after being stricken at his rented home in the upmarket Los Angeles neighbourhood of Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him for three-quarter of an hours there before rushing him to the University of California Los Angeles Medical Centre. His brother Jermaine said Jackson apparently suffered cardiac arrest, an abnormal heart rhythm that stops the heart from pumping blood to the body. It can occur after a heart attack or be caused by other heart problems. Dr Lori Mosca, Director of Preventive Cardiology at New York Presbyterian Hospital said it was not "uncommon" to administer CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) for that length of time but in "those situations it's very unlikely that the person will survive." The autopsy came as police investigating Jackson's death were looking for one of the pop king's doctors after seizing a car that they said may contain drugs or other evidence. Police towed a BMW from a rented home "because it may contain medications or other evidence that may assist the coroner in determining the cause of death," a police spokeswoman had said on Friday. She said the car belonged to one of Jackson's doctors whom police wanted to interview. She said she did not know the doctor's identity and stressed the doctor was not under criminal investigation. Brian Oxman, a former Jackson attorney and a family friend, said on Friday he had been concerned about Jackson's use of painkillers and had warned the singer's family about possible abuse. Oxman claimed Jackson had prescription drugs at his disposal to help with pain suffered when he broke his leg after he fell off a stage and for broken vertebrae in his back. After Jackson was acquitted on child molestation charges in 2005, prosecutors argued against returning to Jackson items including syringes, the drug Demerol and prescriptions for various drugs, mainly antibiotics, in different people's names. "Toxicology can certainly be done to check whether Demoral was present in a person's blood or urine and it can tell you the concentration that was in the patient's blood or urine," Dr Jane Prosser, a toxicologist at the NYU Medical Centre said. "It's up to the medical examiner to make the determination as to what may have happened to a person because someone can die with Demoral in their blood or they can die because there was Demoral in too high of a concentration." Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer. His 1982 album "Thriller" - which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" - is the best-selling album of all time worldwide. Yet after selling more than 61 (m) million albums in the US and having a decade-long attraction open at Disney theme parks, Jackson died reportedly awash in about 400 (m) million US dollars in debt, on the cusp of a final comeback after well over a decade of scandal.

The tabloids dubbed him "Wacko Jacko." Sherrell J. Aston, a doctor commenting on Jackson's plastic surgery claimed that it was an indication of "other psychological issues going on." "I think that the plastic surgery he had was just one manifestation of a lot of issues going on." Jackson was preparing for a monster comeback bid - a series of 50 concerts that was to begin next month in London.

Two STILL photos showing Dr Conrad Murray posing for a photo as he opens the Acres Homes Cardiovascular Centre at the Tidwell Professional Building, in Houston STORYLINE US police are seeking to speak to the doctor who was with pop icon Michael Jackson during his last minutes of life and who pumped his chest in a vain attempt to save his life. Authorities said they wanted to speak with the doctor, identified by the Los Angeles Times as cardiologist Conrad Murray, and said they had towed his car from Jackson's rented mansion because it could contain medication or other evidence. Police stressed that the doctor was not a criminal suspect. A spokesman for the Los Angeles County coroner, said there were no signs of foul play. He said Jackson was taking some unspecified prescription medication but gave few other details. Jackson died at UCLA Medical Centre after being stricken at his rented home in the upmarket Los Angeles neighbourhood of Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him. His brother Jermaine said he was believed to have suffered cardiac arrest in his home but the cause of his death was unknown until results of the autopsy were revealed. The autopsy was completed in a matter of hours, but an official cause of death could take up to six weeks while medical examiners await toxicology tests. No funeral plans had been made public. Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage. His 1982 album "Thriller" - which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" - is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 (m) million copies sold worldwide.

Fans chanting "Michael" STORYLINE: Fans across the world on Friday reacted with shock and sadness to the death of Michael Jackson, one of the world's iconic pop idols. The 50-year-old musical superstar suffered cardiac arrest and died on Thursday, just as he was preparing for what would have been a series of 50 concerts starting July 13 at London's O2 arena. Word of Jackson's death jolted thousands, from Chinese students, to UK fans hoping to see their idol on stage this summer, to a generation of people around the world who have tried, in vain, to moonwalk. The dramatic death of the singer seemed to obscure his recent controversies and kindle warmer memories of Jackson the child star and Jackson the show-stopping, moon-walking headliner. A sombre crowd of about 100 young people gathered in Beijing for a candle lit vigil to mourn the singer's death. Fans arranged candles in the shape of the singer's name, held posters of the pop star and sang his songs. In the French capital Paris, hundreds of Jackson fans gathered in front of Notre Dame Cathedral. They held up his pictures, sang his songs, danced, cried and shouted in grief. Similar scenes took place in both London and Berlin. An autopsy was planned for Friday, though results were not likely to be final until toxicology tests could be completed, a process that could take several days and sometimes weeks. However, if a cause can be determined by the autopsy, they will announce the results, said a Los Angeles County Coroner Investigator. Jackson died at UCLA Medical Centre after being stricken at his rented home in the posh Los Angeles neighbourhood of Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him. His brother Jermaine said he was believed to have suffered cardiac arrest in his home but the cause of his death was unknown until results of the autopsy were revealed.

His 1982 album "Thriller" - which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" - is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 (m) million copies sold worldwide. Jackson's death prompted broadcasters from Sydney to Seoul to interrupt programmes, while fans remembered a "tortured genius" whose squeals and sliding moves captivated a generation and who sparked global trends in music, dance and fashion.

Vandegraft playing anthem on guitar STORYLINE As thousands of US troops head to southern Afghanistan this summer to fight against the Taliban, medical personnel at Bagram Air Base say they've already seen an increase in casualties this year and they are braced for more. The Obama administration has ordered 21-thousand more troops into the violent region to bolster the roughly 40-thousand already in the country. The US military says the deployment will let coalition forces pressure parts of the Taliban-infested south where extremists have not yet been pursued. The flow of dead and wounded at the SSG Heath N. Craig Joint Theater Hospital is putting an enormous strain on the soldiers and the medical staff who must face it head on. They say there is nowhere in the world - except other war zones - where physicians face such intense situations day after day. Medevac flight medic Sergeant Rob Walters says his team "tend to see the worst of the worst all the time". "It's stuff you hear about but you can't imagine it until you've actually seen it and dealt with it," he explains. June 1 was a particularly difficult day. Two roadside bombs hit the same convoy of 10th Mountain Division soldiers only a couple of miles (kilometres) apart in Wardak, a province west of Kabul. The damage was so severe that one of the Humvees split in half. By the time the medevac helicopters arrived, four men were already dead. Back at Bagram, the emergency room waited for the medevac teams to deliver the injured and all medical staff were prepared to move fast. Three of the soldiers injured in the bombings had open fractures in their legs, raw and bleeding. Wounds from blasts and explosive devices are considered the hallmark injuries of the Afghan war - because armour covers the body's core, injuries to arms and legs are common. One of the surviving troops - private first class Anthony Vandegrift of Mililani, Hawaii - had broken both legs and his left eye was swollen shut. Vandegrift called his father while still on the emergency room table. Recovering from his injuries a day later, he spoke about that phone call. "I said, 'Hey dad, remember how you told me not to join the infantry? Well, I don't regret it, but I got blown up,'" Vandegrift says. Recalling the blast, he says it was "like a video game almost". "Everything went black and I just remember 'boom'....when I was able to move around I was upside down. My chunk of the Humvee was blown off from the rest," he says. Vandegrift counts himself lucky to have survived the blast. A record 151 US military personnel died in Afghanistan in 2008, the deadliest year so far since the 2001 invasion. 2009, however, is expected to be even bloodier. According to an Associated Press count, at least 70 US troops have been killed this year so far - a 75 percent increase over the 40 US troop deaths recorded through the first week in June last year.

Set up shot Patrick Ramage Global, International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) Whale Programme Director: SOUNDBITE: (English) Patrick Ramage Global, IFAW Whale Programme Director: "You're kind of seeing the final, the final desperate attempts by a dying industry to maintain itself here. But certainly, both the tone and substance (of the talks) are reflecting a steady drift towards the IWC becoming a conservation forum and away from being a whalers' club." 9. Cutaway of sea STORYLINE: The new head of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) said on Friday there were no guarantees that negotiators from pro and anti-whaling nations would settle their dispute within the 12-month deadline they have set themselves. Cristian Maquieira said he could not promise a final solution within a year, but hoped "at the very least we have the framework of an agreement at the end of that period." Maquieira was speaking at the end of the IWC's week-long annual meeting. Delegates from more than 80 countries attended the gathering in Portugal's Madeira islands, but remained split between nations which support whaling and those that demand its end. The deadlock has lasted since a 1986 ban on commercial whaling, angering conservation groups. Japan, Norway and Iceland continue to harpoon around 2,000 whales annually. They argue that many species, such as minke whales, are abundant enough to continue hunting them. The United States, Australia and the European Union want whaling to stop, or at least be reduced. Maquieira, a veteran Chilean diplomat who was elected IWC president on Thursday, said both sides would have to compromise. "In the final outcome, everybody's not going to get what they want. If they want to have an agreement they're going to have to swallow very difficult decisions," he said in an interview. Maquieira noted an improvement in the tenor of negotiations in recent years. In the past, delegates have stormed out of meetings and environmentalists were not allowed to attend. Conservation groups attending the Madeira meeting as official observers were mostly unhappy about the IWC's decision to extend the negotiations for another year. Other groups, however, said they were encouraged by IWC's willingness to address climate change and other environmental concerns. "You're kind of seeing the final, the final desperate attempts by a dying industry to maintain itself," said Patrick Ramage, of the International Fund for Animal Welfare, a US-based conservation group. The IWC was set up by whaling countries in 1949 to oversee their industry but it now has to deal with 21st-century threats to whales such as noise and water pollution.

STORYLINE: The Los Angeles Fire Department on Friday released the emergency call from Michael Jackson's home in which the caller said the singer wasn't breathing or responding to efforts to revive him. The 911 call was reportedly made late on Thursday. The unidentified caller reported that a fifty-year-old male was on a bed, he wasn't breathing and wasn't responding to resuscitation efforts and was with his personal doctor at the time. Jackson was pronounced dead later on Thursday at University of California Los Angeles Medical Center. Medical examiners began an autopsy for Jackson on Friday morning, which was expected to last several hours. Additional laboratory tests, including toxicology tests, are likely and those results wouldn't be known for several weeks. Police investigating Jackson's death have seized a car that they said may contain drugs or other evidence. A police spokeswomen said the car belongs to one of Jackson's doctors whom police wanted to interview. She said she did not know the doctor's identity and stressed the doctor was not under criminal investigation.

AP TELEVISION - AP CLIENTS ONLY Los Angeles - 26 June, 2009 15. Various of memorial at Hollywood Walk of Fame STORYLINE: Now that Michael Jackson has died, who will get custody of the children? Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe is the mother of two of the pop star's three kids, Prince Michael Joseph Jackson and Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson. A third child, Prince Michael II, better known as Blanket, was born to a surrogate mother. Rowe's former attorney, Iris Finsilver says she isn't currently representing her, but has no doubt she will seek custody of the children. But that may not be as easy as it sounds. New York family lawyer, Scott M. Banks says the court will look at several key factors that may trump her stature as their biological mother. "It's not a simple case. Ms Rowe has not seen the children for approximately ten years." Then there's Blanket. Where would he go? "The question then becomes, will a court be willing to award custody to a biological parent, when that parent has had no connection with the children for such a lengthy period of time?" Another issue is the Jackson family. Michael's mother has been in the children's lives since birth. "I suspect that the Jackson family is not going to go away too easily on this," said Banks. "(I think) they're going to use whatever their financial wherewithal to make sure, or at least attempt to make sure, that these two children, and also the third child, Blanket, stay together," Banks added. Rowe and Jackson married in 1996 and divorced in 1999. Jackson collapsed at his rented home in Los Angeles on Thursday and reports say he may have had a heart attack. Jackson's body was meanwhile released by the Los Angeles County coroner's office. Coroner Investigator Jerry McKibben said the body was returned to the singer's family on Friday night. The coroner's office, which has completed its autopsy, says there are no signs of foul play or trauma, but determining the cause of death will require further tests that will take six to eight weeks. The family is still trying to determine what kind of memorial to have for Jackson and when, and are debating between the idea of having a private ceremony or a grand celebration open to the public, a person close to the family said.

Wide of news conference STORYLINE: The United States on Saturday announced a new drug policy for opium-rich Afghanistan, saying it was phasing out funding for eradication efforts while significantly increasing its funding for alternate crop and drug interdiction efforts. The announcement came as foreign ministers of the Group of Eight industrialised nations prepared for a second day of talks in the Italian city of Trieste on the stabilisation of Afghanistan Speaking at the end of the talks the European Union's foreign policy chief Javier Solana said "a lot" had been accomplished, particularly with regard to preparations for Afghanistan's upcoming elections. "If the elections are credible, and I hope they will be credible and everybody is going to make an effort in that direction, the day after will be very important and a new page has to begin to be written in Afghanistan." President Hamid Karzai is the favourite in the August 20 vote in Afghanistan. On the fight against drugs the US envoy for Afghanistan, Richard Holbrooke, said that eradication programmes weren't working and were only driving farmers into the hands of the Taliban. The G-8 ministers "strongly appreciated" the US shift, which also includes an increase in annual US funding for agricultural development from a few million dollars to a few hundred million dollars, said Foreign Minister Franco Frattini of Italy, the current G-8 president. The shift was also welcomed by Antonio Maria Costa, the Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. "We published a report in which we said the eradication, the way it was done in 2007 and 2008 was not adequate," said Costa. "This year about 6500 hectares were eradicated that is definitely too little, at too high cost. We need to indeed shift and change the attitude regarding it. Afghanistan is the world's leading source of opium, cultivating 93 percent of the world's heroin-producing crop. The United Nations has estimated the Taliban and other Afghan militants made 50 (m) million US dollars to 70 (m) million US dollars of last year's opium and heroin trade. The UN drug office said in a report this week that opium cultivation dropped 19 percent last year, but was still concentrated in southern provinces where the Taliban insurgency is strongest. Agriculture was among the issues taken up at the G-8 meeting on Afghanistan on Saturday, with participants saying in their final statement that agricultural development was "key to the future of Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as other countries in the region." It called for expanded international cooperation in agriculture to boost employment and incomes and provide farmers with alternatives to poppy production. Ministers also urged greater cooperation among countries in the region to promote stability. "This is one of the least integrated regions in the global economy and we know from other parts of the world - Europe - that integration brings huge economic and political benefits, so we are trying to do the same in that region as well," said Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt. Frattini, in a final news briefing, noted that Afghanistan was a country that need to be "helped and encouraged to multiply the efforts that it is already honestly making and are being noticed." He added that successful efforts in tackling security threats in neighbouring Pakistan would in turn benefit Afghanistan. Foreign Ministers from Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and members of the Arab league took part in the discussions in Trieste. The shift in US policy follows a steady decrease in the number of hectares (acres) destroyed by eradication programmes. According to the UN report, opium poppy eradication reached a high in 2003, after the Taliban were ousted from power, with over 21,000 hectares (51,900 acres) eradicated. In 2008, only 5,480 hectares (13,500 acres) were cut down compared with 19,047 hectares (47,000 acres) in 2007. Costa said Afghan opium would kill 100-thousand people this year in the parts of world where demand for heroin is highest: Europe, Russia and West Asia. To fight it, he said major powers had to expand their counter-drug efforts to Pakistan as well as Iran, where half the 7,000 tons of exported Afghan opium transits, "causing the highest addiction rate in the world." Iran had been invited to attend the G-8 meeting on Afghanistan, because anti-drug efforts in Afghanistan have been identified as a key area where the United States and Iran can work together - part of President Barack Obama's outreach effort. But Italy withdrew the invitation after Iran failed to respond and after its bloody post-election crackdown on protesters, which has sparked international condemnation.

Firemen and fire engines inside compound STORYLINE Nearly 10-thousand supporters of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra rallied in Bangkok on Saturday, calling for the current premier to step down - the latest demonstration in the kingdom since Thaksin's ouster in a 2006 coup. Police mobilised 3,000 security officers and warned the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship - also known as the "red shirts" - not to block the office of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva as it did for several weeks in March and April. The UDD is calling for Abhisit to step down, the dissolution of parliament, and new elections. The rally at Sanam Luang field in central Bangkok was expected to go through the night on Saturday. By early evening, as many as 10-thousand supporters had gathered on muddy field amid sporadic downpours. Security was light as protesters sang songs and listened to fiery speeches. Thaksin, who remains in self-imposed exile since he was convicted on a corruption charge last year, is expected to address the crowd via telephone link. He remains hugely popular among the red shirts, who are largely drawn from Thailand's impoverished countryside, for his populist policies. Nutthawut Saikua, a leader of the UDD, said their demands haven't changed since the military forced them to end demonstrations in April following days of street clashes and riots that left at least two dead and more than 120 injured. Protest leaders accuse the country's elite - the military, judiciary and other unelected officials - of undermining the country's democracy and orchestrating the 2006 coup. Following his ouster, Thaksin's party again won elections and his allies formed two successive governments - both of which were stymied by the same "yellow shirt" protests that precipitated the coup. The yellow shirts argue that voters in Thaksin's rural base are too easily bought, and when they took to the streets last year - demanding Thaksin's allies relinquish power - they created havoc, shutting down Bangkok's two main airports for a week. When a court disqualified the pro-Thaksin prime minister on complaints of fraud in the 2007 election, ending the yellow shirts' demonstrations, Abhisit cobbled together a coalition. But the red shirts responded by launching their own protest in March. They backed down under threat of a military crackdown after their demonstrations became violent.

Mid of Gambari with Myanmar Foreign Minister U Nyan Win 5. Wide of meeting between the two STORYLINE The United Nations' special envoy to Myanmar met the country's foreign minister to prepare for a trip by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, a government official and state television said on Saturday. Details of the visit by envoy Ibrahim Gambari, who arrived on Friday, were not disclosed by the UN. But a government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to reporters, confirmed that Gambari met Foreign Minister U Nyan Win in the capital of Naypyitaw. State television later reported the two discussed plans for a visit by Ban. British Ambassador Mark Canning said on Friday that he also believed Gambari was setting the stage for Ban. Rights groups fear any such visit will lend legitimacy to the ruling junta's trial of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The Nobel Peace laureate is in prison and faces up to five years in jail on the charges she violated her house arrest after an uninvited American man swam to her closely guarded lakeside home last month and stayed two days. Her trial has sparked international outrage. Ban recently told The Associated Press that he was looking at the "appropriate timing" for a visit. Human Rights Watch and some governments have urged the UN chief not to visit now, arguing the trip could be exploited by the military government, which might portray it as an endorsement of the legitimacy of Suu Kyi's trial. But Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party supports the trip, and other countries say the alternative is to do nothing and miss an opportunity to have the secretary-general press for Suu Kyi's release and push for more open and inclusive elections next year. Gambari left Yangon, the country's commercial capital, on Saturday night for Bangkok. He did not meet Suu Kyi or members of her National League for Democracy. It was Gambari's eighth visit since 2006 when he was appointed the UN chief's special representative to promote political reconciliation here. The envoy has met with both junta leaders and Suu Kyi but failed to nudge the military regime toward talks with the pro-democracy movement. The UN has called repeatedly for political reconciliation in Myanmar, including the release of Suu Kyi. The country has been under military rule since 1962, and the junta refused to recognise the results of 1990 general elections won by Suu Kyi's party. Suu Kyi's trial has drawn outrage from the international community and from her local supporters, who say the military government is using the incident as an excuse to keep her detained through the 2010 elections.

The response of Iranian nation would be crushing. The (Iranian) response would cause remorse." 7. Zoom in to Ahmadinejad on stage 8. Pan of attendants STORYLINE Iran's president lashed out anew at the United States and President Barack Obama on Saturday, accusing him of interference and suggesting that Washington's stance on Iran's post-election turmoil could imperil Obama's aim of improving relations. "We are surprised at Mr. Obama," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in remarks to judiciary officials broadcast on state television. "They keep saying that they want to hold talks with Iran ... but is this the correct way? Definitely, they have made a mistake," Ahmadinejad said. He also used former US President George W. Bush as an example of how not to conduct relations with other countries. "He (Bush) spoke arrogantly. Didn't you see how God humiliated him? He has been buried in the history's trash bin forever. You should learn a lesson from his fate," Ahmadinejad said. Obama was strongly criticised at home and by many abroad, for his initial measured response to opposition allegations that Ahmadinejad was re-elected by fraud in the June 12 balloting and to the harsh crackdown on protesters. The Obama administration wants to improve contacts with Tehran, especially because of concern that Iran is developing nuclear weapons, and Obama appeared unwilling to jeopardise that goal with strong statements against Iran's authorities. But on Friday, he hailed the demonstrators in Iran and condemned the violence against them. "The violence perpetrated against them is outrageous. In spite of the government's efforts to keep the world from bearing witness to that violence, we see it and we condemn it," Obama said. Meanwhile, opposition supporters, faced with a senior cleric's demand that protest leaders be severely punished or even executed, enter the third week of their campaign against the election results in increasingly tight straits. Opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, who claims Ahmadinejad stole the election, says he will seek official permission for any future rallies, effectively ending his role in street protests. The opposition may have little opportunity to keep momentum going within the limits of the law, and the international attention that appeared to bolster their morale could be waning. Also, Mousavi's Web site, his primary means for communicating with supporters, remained down on Saturday; an aide told the Associated Press on Friday that the site had been hacked. Mousavi alleges he was robbed of victory through widespread and systematic fraud. The regime rejects the claim, refusing to consider new balloting, and on Friday, the Guardian Council, Iran's top electoral body, proclaimed the vote the "healthiest" held since the revolution. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has ruled out a re-vote. Since the election, opposition protesters repeatedly have clashed with security forces who arrested hundreds of people, including journalists, academics and university students. At least 17 people have been killed. The demonstrations petered out this week under an ever-intensifying crackdown. Mousavi, meanwhile, has sent mixed signals to supporters, asking them not to break the law while pledging not to drop his challenge. Amnesty International called the prospect of quick trials and capital punishment for some detainees "a very worrying development." It said Iran was the world's No. 2 executioner after China last year, with at least 346 known instances of people put to death. The group also called on the regime to release dozens of detained journalists it said faced possible torture. As the protests dwindle amid intensifying official pressure, the opposition may suffer from a decline in international attention. The protests and violence dominated Western news broadcasts for nearly two weeks, with the reports substantially bolstered by videos gleaned from Internet sites and by commentary from social networking sites. Such sites were a key pipeline for the opposition amid the tight restrictions on foreign media in the country. But along with the diminished action on the streets in Iran, other stories have arisen to siphon away attention, especially the death of pop star Michael Jackson.

Wide of vigil STORYLINE: Thousands of people gathered in a Paris street on Saturday for a "mass moonwalk" in memory of late pop star Michael Jackson. Tributes both personal and public were held by generations of fans all around the world, following the announcement of the singer's death on Thursday. The Paris event had been advertised in advance on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter as a way to honour the King of Pop, organiser Michael Bernier said. The crowd played Michael Jackson songs like "Don't Stop Till you Get Enough" and "Billie Jean" and performed his classic dance moves. In Berlin, thousands of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender revellers gathered for the annual Christopher Street Day parade and although the event was not dominated by Jackson's death, many participants paid tribute to the singer. In Tokyo, about two-hundred of Jackson's Japanese fans gathered for a candle vigil on Saturday evening. The fans held candles and listened to the star's music at Yoyogi Park. A fan danced the moonwalk in tribute to the King of Pop. Japan, which the star visited two years ago, has one of Jackson's strongest fan bases. The official cause of Jackson's death has not been determined and is not expected to be known for weeks. Brian Oxman however, a former Jackson attorney and a family friend, told NBC's "Today" show on Friday that he had been concerned about Jackson's use of painkillers and had warned the singer's family about possible abuse. Jackson appeared to have suffered a heart attack, a person with knowledge of the situation who was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity told the AP on Friday. A heart attack is a blocking of the arteries that deprives the heart of adequate blood and can cause cardiac arrest. Jackson's brother Jermaine said Thursday that it was believed the pop singer went into cardiac arrest, an interruption of the normal heartbeat that can be caused by factors other than a heart attack. In November 1993, Jackson cancelled the rest of his "Dangerous" world tour to seek treatment for addiction to painkillers prescribed after reconstructive scalp surgery. Coroner's officials said they released Jackson's body to his family late Friday night. The family is still trying to determine what kind of memorial to have for Jackson and when, and are debating between the idea of having a private ceremony or a grand celebration open to the public, the person close to the family said. The Los Angeles County coroner's office, which completed its autopsy on Friday, said there were no signs of foul play or trauma, but determining the cause of death will require further tests that will take six to eight weeks. The pop star left behind three children: Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., known as Prince Michael, 12; Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11; and Prince Michael II, 7.

Pan right of posting attributed to Lisa-Marie Presley STORYLINE The internet has experienced a peak in activity following the death of pop star Michael Jackson, who died in Los Angeles on Thursday. Millions of fans have inundated web sites such as "Twitter", "Yahoo!", "Facebook" and "YouTube" with their messages to share views and thoughts about their idol's death. Internet site Yahoo! web editor Beth Cabot said "16.4 million visitors" consulted the Yahoo! web site when the news broke about Michael Jackson's death. Cabot said people moved on to look for archive of the star's videos and lyrics. "That quickly turned to nostalgia and people looking for things like the lyrics to "Thriller", videos, searching for things like moonwalk, so, I think that what it really shows you is how the internet has become really essential to the way we process a huge event." Images from the death of other world icons such as US rock'n'roll star Elvis Presley, British musician John Lennon and Diana Princess of Wales showed crowds of people gathered in the streets to mourn and remember. The scene looks very different today, when it seems that social networking has replaced social gatherings. Clinical Psychologist Jill Webber said that the use of social networking websites was for people to share their grief and feel a "sense of support." "I think it's just sort of one more coping outlet that people can use to grieve in a healthy way," she said. But it's not just fans turning to the internet to express their feelings. Scores of celebrities who knew or worked with Jackson - or were simply awed by him - issued statements of mourning. A long message attributed to Jackson's ex-wife Lisa-Marie Presley also appeared online. Jackson collapsed at his rented home in Los Angeles on Thursday and reports say he may have had a heart attack. The body of Michael Jackson was meanwhile released by the Los Angeles County coroner's office. Coroner Investigator Jerry McKibben says the body was returned to the singer's family on Friday night. No funeral plans have been announced. The coroner's office, which has completed its autopsy, says there are no signs of foul play or trauma, but determining the cause of death will require further tests that will take six to eight weeks.

Medium of BMW (NOTE: UNKNOWN WHO IS INSIDE) pulling in through gate 20. Long shot of man with dogs inside the compound STORYLINE: Janet Jackson arrived at her brother Michael Jackson's Holmby Hills estate in Los Angeles on Saturday, where moving vans had arrived earlier in the day. Jackson, wearing dark glasses, drove up in a Bentley and went directly to the estate. Earlier, about eight movers had taken dollies and packing equipment through the gates. It wasn't immediately known what was being taken out. In Chicago the Rev. Jesse Jackson said Michael Jackson's family wants an independent autopsy following the pop star's sudden death at age 50. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights leader, said after a news conference that there are unanswered questions surrounding the King of Pop's death, including about the role of the personal cardiologist who was with him. The Los Angeles County coroner's office performed an autopsy on the singer's body on Friday but deferred a finding on the cause of death pending further tests that could take more than a month. Jesse Jackson says the family's wound from the pop star's death is being kept open by the mystery of the cause of death. Also on Saturday spiritual teacher and medical doctor Deepak Chopra said he had been concerned since 2005 that Michael Jackson was abusing prescription painkillers and most recently spoke to the pop star about suspected drug use six months ago. Chopra said Jackson, a longtime friend, asked him for painkillers in 2005 when the pop star was staying with him following his trial on sex abuse allegations. Chopra said he refused but added the nanny of Jackson's children repeatedly contacted him with concerns about Jackson's drug use over the next four years. He said she told him a number of doctors would visit Jackson's homes in Santa Barbara County, Los Angeles, Miami and New York. Whenever the subject came up, Jackson would avoid Chopra's calls, Chopra said. Meanwhile fans gathered outside the Holmby Hills estate, leaving messages and tributes at a makeshift memorial with balloons and images of the star. The same scenes were repeated outside the Jackson family compound in Encino, where most of the singer's family members have gathered to contemplate funeral arrangements and care for his three children. Jackson's family wants to know more specifics about what role AEG, the concert promoter that was staging his 50-date concert series at London's 02 Arena, was playing in his life, said the person, who requested anonymity because of the delicate nature of the situation. They also want to know more about the role of his advisers and representatives, who they believe were put in place by the promoter. AEG spokeswoman Natalie Whorms in London had no comment. Jackson never communicated to his family who he had in place to handle his business affairs, the person said, adding that they were told by the singer's phalanx of advisers that he likely had a will, but it may be many years old. The family is distrustful of what they are being told - but they are determined to find out more, the person said. The pop star left behind three children: Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., known as Prince Michael, 12; Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11; and Prince Michael II, 7. The elder children were born to ex-wife Deborah Rowe, while the youngest is his biological son, born to a surrogate mother. Rowe and Jackson married in 1996 and divorced in 1999.

Rosenfeld walking away STORYLINE: Ultra-Orthodox and secular Jews held opposing demonstrations over a car park in Jerusalem on Saturday. The Ultra-Orthodox were protesting against the opening of the car park near the Old City on Saturdays, the Jewish Sabbath, when religious Jews are forbidden to drive or work. It was the second consecutive day of demonstrations by Ultra-Orthodox Jews. Police said several thousand Ultra-Orthodox took to the streets, some shouting "Shabbes, Shabbes," the Yiddish word for "Sabbath." Some clashed with Israeli police and threw rubbish at them. Police reported 24 arrests. One six-year-old boy was slightly hurt by a stone thrown by protesters, police said. Four police officers were also lightly injured. Later on Saturday, police were reported to have turned water cannon on the Ultra-Orthodox demonstrators. Secular Jews, meanwhile, demanded that the car park remain open on the Sabbath and held a counter demonstration near Jerusalem's City Hall. "We are here to protest an Ultra Orthodox attempt to force their way of life on the pluralistic population in Jerusalem," said Shachar Fischer, who is a member of the 'Wake Up Jerusalem' organisation. Jerusalem Mayor Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat opened the parking lot on the request of police, who said illegal parking in the nearby Old City was blocking emergency vehicles, spokesman Stephan Miller said. He said the mayor tried to appease ultra-Orthodox concerns by not charging for parking and hiring non-Jews to administer the lot. But following violent protests three weeks ago, the mayor announced that the disputed car park would be closed for two weeks of dialogue, in an attempt to reach a compromise. On Thursday, the court approved the opening of an alternative location - the Karta car park - prompting the Ultra-Orthodox community to renew its protest.

Various of inmates dancing to "Hero", some holding banners showing their own heros, such as Princess Diana, The Dalai Lama, Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and former Beatle John Lennon STORYLINE: The Filipino inmates who shot to global fame with a Youtube video recreating the "Thriller" dance swayed and stomped again on Saturday in a behind-bars tribute to their idol, Michael Jackson. After being told of Jackson's death on Thursday in Los Angeles, the 1,500 inmates at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Centre hit the exercise yard, practicing for nine hours on Friday night, and into the early hours of Saturday morning, for the show. They took breaks only to eat or when it rained, said professional choreographer Gwendolyn Lador, hired by the prison to teach the inmates the dance. Prison Director, Byron Garcia, said Jackson was considered a "god" by some of the inmates. Some inmates said they felt sad because they had lost their idol and they felt pressure to perform well on Saturday. A crowd of 700 Cebuanos and foreign tourists watched the performance from a second-floor corridor, swaying to the music and applauding as the inmates stomped and clapped in unison in the hilltop prison. Other numbers included "Ben," "I'll Be There" and "We Are the World." The inmates then held up a 5-by-10 foot (1.5-by-3 metre) tarpaulin showing Michael Jackson holding a sword and his name written below it. Others waved the flags of the Philippines and other nations and banners showing some of their own heros, such as The Dalai Lama and Princess Diana. Before the show, the performers dedicated a prayer to Jackson's family. Garcia, who came up with the idea of adding synchronised dancing to poorly attended exercise sessions, said he was surprised by the popularity of the 2007 video, one of more than a dozen inmate dance numbers he has posted on YouTube. "Thriller" has attracted 24.3 (m) million hits since it was posted two years ago, with nearly a (m) million of them in the 24 hours since news of Jackson's death spread.
