Hot Issue Reports


Iran FM Meets IAEA Chief


Iran's Foreign Minister has met with International Atomic Energy Agency Director General, on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference to discuss Tehran's nuclear programme.


Manouchehr Mottaki said that he had a "very good meeting" with Yukiya Amano, new chief of IAEA, on nuclear fuel swap 4.


"Today I had a very good meeting with Mr. Amano. We discussed and exchanged views on a wide range of issues and the proposal that is on the table."


Mottaki said he was confident of a deal with the IAEA on shipping 5 Tehran's low-enriched uranium abroad in exchange for higher-grade fuel that could be used in a civil-purpose reactor 6.


He stressed that there is a political will for the swap while modalities and mechanisms 7 to enrich uranium abroad still need to be clarified.


U.S. and German officials, however, remain suspicious. While noting "the door for diplomacy 8 with Iran remains 9 open," U.S. National Security Adviser James Jones said that Iran's "puzzling defiance 10" compels Washington and its allies to a second track of increased pressure.




UN Envoy for NKorea Arrives in South for Talks


UN Secretary-general Ban Ki-moon's top political adviser, Lynn Pascoe, is in Seoul and has been meeting with the South Korean nuclear envoy ahead of his upcoming trip to North Korea.


Pascoe, the UN under-secretary-general for political affairs, met with South Korean nuclear envoy Wi Sung-lac to discuss the relationship between the UN and South Korea and his upcoming visit to Pyongyang.


"Well, we had an excellent discussion as always we would about the things with the ROK and UN in various issues. And we also talked some about the trip and what's going on, and we talked about things we may be doing together in the future."


Pascoe said that the entire range of issues would be discussed while he is in North Korea from February 9th through 12th, including North Korea's nuclear capabilities 11 and its return to the six-party talks.


North Korea, which has tested an atomic bomb, walked away from the international disarmament talks last year.


The other participants, China, the US, Japan, South Korea and Russia, have been trying to get the talks back on track.


Pyongyang has pushed Washington for a peace treaty to formally end the Korean War and a lifting of sanctions first.


The United States, however, insists that no discussion about political or economic sanctions can take place before the disarmament talks resume.




Deal Reached over Justice, Policing in Northern Ireland


The two biggest parties in Northern Ireland have reached a power-sharing deal on devolution of policing and justice power from London, signaling an end to a long search for lasting peace in the region.


British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced that Northern Ireland will take over its own policing and justice powers on Apr. 12.


"We are closing the last chapter of a long and troubled story and we are opening a new chapter for Northern Ireland. Let it be said of times to come, that after decades of violence, years of talks, weeks of stalemate, this is the day we have secured the future, a lasting peace, power being where it should be, in the hands of the people of Northern Ireland, the strongest answer to those who would bring violence back to our streets, and today's agreement is the opportunity for a fresh start."


The deal came after two weeks of negotiations 12 between the Democratic Unionist Party and the Republican Sinn Fein, ending a threatened collapse 13 of the government in which the two parties share power.


 


G7 Finance Ministers Meet on Global Economic Stability


Finance ministers from the group of seven most industrialized countries have ended their meeting in Canada to discuss cooperation on global economic and financial stability and balanced development.


Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, the chair of the meetings, said the major concern of the discussions is economic recovery and financial stability.


"There are differences of action that have occurred between several countries, with respect to that issue and I hope we'll make some progress in our informal discussions on the issue. I mean we're all agreed that there needs to be some protection of the public with respect to failures of the systemically important institutions."


Flaherty said that the G7 cannot play the leading role it once did, but it will continue to evolve in an ever-changing world while contributing, through frank and open discussion, to a more stable and prosperous world for all.


 


NATO Chief Says Situation in Afghanistan is Improving


NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen says the situation in Afghanistan is improving after a difficult year.


Rasmussen was speaking during a two-day NATO meeting in Istanbul, Turkey, about the war in Afghanistan."Tens of thousands of additional forces are now deploying 14 to Afghanistan. The Afghan security forces are growing in number and capability 15. The NATO training mission in Afghanistan is now up and running. And transition to Afghan lead will begin this year."


Rasmussen also praised the 36 countries that offered to send more troops.


The international forces will exceed 140,000 troops when the 30,000 new U.S. troops and 10,000 allied 16 reinforcements are deployed 17 this year.


Major world powers decided 18 last week to boost Afghanistan's military to 171,600 by October 2011, up from the current 98,000 troops.


Meanwhile,a motorcycle bomb struck a crowd watching a dog fight on Friday in southern Afghanistan, killing 19 at least three people and wounding more than two dozen others.


The blast on the outskirts 20 of Lashkar Gah, capital of Helmand province, came as NATO and Afghan forces are preparing to launch a major offensive against the Taliban in the area.


The explosives-packed motorcycle was parked near the dog fight, according to the deputy provincial 21 police chief.


Dog fighting was forbidden under the Taliban regime but has emerged as a popular pastime in many parts of Afghanistan after the hard-line Islamist movement was ousted 22 in 2001.


 


New Bomb Attack Injures 7 Civilians 23 in Pakistan


A bomb attached to a motorcycle has hit a security convoy 24 passed through a busy area in Pakistan's southwestern city of Quetta in Baluchistan province, wounding seven civilians.


No one claimed responsibility, but authorities have blamed Baluch nationalists for previous attacks aimed at security forces.


Syed Muhammad Ali Khan witnessed the bombing on Saturday.


"I saw one motorbike was standing 26 in which a bomb was planted. All of sudden the blast happened in which one of my cars was damaged and my three relatives were injured. A hotel window was also broken and a few people were also injured inside the hotel."


Nationalists in the impoverished 27 southwestern province have waged a violent campaign for years to demand more autonomy and a greater share of income from the area's natural resources for its residents.


Meanwhile, thousands of minority Shiite Muslims have attended a mass funeral for those killed in a pair of bombings in Pakistan's largest city of Karachi.


At least 31 people died and 170 others were wounded on Friday when suspected Sunni militants 28 targeted a bus carrying Shiite worshippers and then attacked a major hospital treating victims of the first bomb.


Allama Mirza Yusuf Husain is one of the mourners.


"They are the anti-country elements, who are also the enemies of Islam, and they are committing such heinous 29 crimes. They are not entitled to be called human beings. They are wolves and beasts in the guise 30 of humans."


Friday's blasts coincided with Arbaeen, the final day of the annual 40-day mourning period for Husayn bin 25 Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad.


Witnesses said about 7,000 mourners attended the funeral.


Karachi has a history of religious violence between Shiite and Sunni Muslims, and the city has been tense in recent weeks due to clashes between rival political parties that have left dozens dead.


Ten U.S. Missionaries 31 Face Charges of Child Kidnapping in Haiti


Ten American missionaries accused of trying to take three dozen children out of Haiti without permission have appeared at a closed hearing in the capital Port-au-Prince.


Jean-Louise Martine is Chief of Staff of the Haitian Judiciary Department.


"They are waiting here to receive further instructions. The judge will meet with them here and question them."


A lawyer for the 10 missionaries told reporters he would ask the judge to grant them "provisional release," a type of bail 32 without money posted until their trial, the date of which has not yet been set.


The investigating judge charged the Americans on Thursday with kidnapping for trying to take 33 children across the border into the Dominican Republic on January 29th without documentation.


Each of the Americans was charged with one count of kidnapping, which carries a sentence of five to 15 years in prison, and one of criminal association, punishable by three to nine years.


U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told reporters in Washington on Friday that she would let the Haitian judicial 33 system decide.


"We are providing consular 34 services; we have full access to them. The American ambassador is speaking with his counterparts in the Haitian government. Obviously, this is a matter for the Haitian judicial system. We are going to continue to provide support."


The Baptist group, most of whose members are from two Idaho churches, says it was rescuing abandoned children and orphans 35.


At least two-thirds of the children involved in the case, ranging in age from 2 to 12, have parents, although some parents say they gave them up willingly because the missionaries promised the children a better life.


 


Toyota President Offers Apology over Prius brakes problem


Toyota Motor Corporation's president says the automaker is still deciding what to do about the braking problems on its new Hybrid 36 Prius.


Akio Toyoda was speaking at a hastily called news conference in Nagoya, Japan, late on Friday.


"I apologize from the bottom of my heart for all the concern that we have given to so many customers in so many countries. But believe me, Toyota's car is safe, but we're trying to (improve) our product (to make it) better.




Toyoda says his company is moving as quickly as possible with a global recall of 4.5 million vehicles, about half of which are in the United States.


Japan's transport minister Seiji Maehara says the government has learned that Toyota planned to carry out either a recall or a voluntary repair over brake problems with its Prius hybrid.


But he added the automaker has not yet informed the transport ministry 37 which option it will take.


Toyoda, the grandson of Toyota's founder 38, took office last year. He has been widely criticized for not coming out sooner to answer questions about the flood of quality problems that have hit Toyota.




Former President Says Ukraine's Political Situation is Unpredictable


Ukraine's former president says while the country's situation is unpredictable as a presidential election approaches on Sunday, there is no threat of a revolution like the one in 2004 that brought the current leaders to power.


Leonid Kuchma says Ukrainians are disappointed with outgoing President Viktor Yushchenko and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who together led the Orange protests six years ago.


"There is no threat of a revolution, no doubt about this, despite the loud declarations by Yulia Vladimirovna Tymoshenko. She has the right to declare this. Of course, she doesn't want to lose power, but she is aware of the prevailing 39 public opinion."


Russia-friendly opposition 40 leader Viktor Yanukovych is facing off against Tymoshenko in Sunday's vote.




Kiev authorities said on Friday they had received a permit application from Yanukovych supporters for a rally of up to 50,000 people around the city the day after the vote.


Tymoshenko accused Yanukovych on Thursday of plotting to steal the vote and pledged to stage mass street protests in a replay of the 2004 Orange demonstrations 41.


Tymoshenko helped lead the Orange revolt, which rallied hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians demanding economic and political reform.


 


Competition Turns White-hot Before Ukrainian Presidential Run-off


The competition has turned white-hot between Ukrainian presidential hopeful Viktor Yanukovych and his bitter rival Yulia Tymoshenko two days before the presidential election runoff vote.


Friday was the last day the presidential candidates were allowed to campaign and make speeches.


During the taping of a local television talk-show debate, Yanukovych promised to lay his opponent's legacy 42 to rest.


"I've traveled across Ukraine several times over (to) practically all of its regions, and I sense the mood of the people, and people want change. People came to vote with this mood during the first round. More than 70 percent of voters favored change, and I don't think anything will change in the runoff."


If Yanukovych wins, it will be an impressive reversal of fortune.


His Kremlin-backed election as president five years ago triggered the mass Orange protests, and his win was thrown out on grounds of fraud.




Tymoshenko, the prime minister, has accused Yanukovych of once again plotting to steal the vote and has vowed 43 to mobilize her army of supporters to stop him.


"What we all need is the confidence that no one will change our choice, no one will be able to falsify or diminish it. What matters most is what kind of country we want to build, and when we talk about the two possible roads, we should focus on the main principle on which democracy rests: the right of a people to freely choose the government in their own country."


Yanukovych won 35 percent of the vote to Tymoshenko's 25 percent in the first round of voting last month.


Tymoshenko is expected to close at least some of the gap by picking up votes splintered among candidates in the first round.




Snow Paralyzes US Capital


A blizzard 44 battered 45 the US capital of Washington and mid-Atlantic states on Saturday, with emergency crews struggling to keep pace with the heavy, wet snow that piled up on roadways, toppled trees and left thousands without electricity.


A record 75 centimeters or more was predicted for Washington, where heavy, wet snow and strong winds threatened to clog 46 roads and paralyze the region's transportation and commerce.


Airlines cancelled flights, schools closed and the federal government sent workers home, where they could be stuck for several days in a region ill-equipped to deal with so much snow.


"I have to change the time I'm traveling, and I have to go today instead of Monday because of the expected snow storm."


"I actually changed my flight, because the one to Philly (Philadelphia) just keeps being cancelled, so I just changed. I am not going anywhere, I am going back home."


Before the heavy snow started falling, shoppers jammed aisles 47 and emptied stores of milk, bread and shovels 48.


Across the region, transportation officials were deploying thousands of trucks and had hundreds of thousands of tons of salt at the ready.


The storm comes less than two months after a December 19th storm dumped more than 40 centimeters of snow on Washington.

China Daily: Chinese Universities Should Be Granted Autonomy


Premier 49 Wen Jiabao has said good universities in China must be unique and independent and have the right to preside over their own affairs.


Wen is seeking opinions from the academic circle for a work report that he will present at the annual session of the National People's Congress early next month.


In reality, the government runs most universities the way it governs various departments under its auspices 50. Most university presidents and deans of various departments are from the upper echelons 51 of government and enjoy a wide range of benefits. Some universities they run are very utilitarian 52, and everything they do is linked with money.


An editorial in China Daily addresses the reasons why some university presidents show little or no concern for whether their academic environments are good enough for professors and students to really delve 53 into what they are teaching and learning.


The editorial says it is no wonder then that academic scandals have been emerging one after another. There is also the increasingly prosperous business of selling dissertations 54 or having them published for those who need diplomas, degree certifications or promotions 55.


The editorial emphasizes that Wen is greatly concerned about these academic problems and says it is right for universities to be autonomous 56 and manage their own affairs such as enrolling 57 students and hiring or dismissing professors.


But much needs to be done before universities are granted autonomy. University presidents should be elected from among professors rather than nominated by higher education authorities. Both professors and students should have the right to decide whether their presidents should stay or go.


The editorial concludes that autonomy can only be granted when a system is in place to ensure that it will be employed to improve a university's quality.


 




Beijing Times: Universities Should Not Link Salaries with Workloads 58


Our next topic today also concerns education.


A few professors at Peking University's Law School have been up in arms about a new salary distribution system in which their salaries will be determined 59 by the number of classes they teach and articles they publish in academic journals.


The professors fear that such a system may force them and others to focus solely 60 on work quantity rather than quality.


An editorial in the Beijing Times agrees with the professors, saying there has long been an outcry over universities that link salaries with workloads. It also says decisions by university leaders always backfire, and the salary issue is just one such case.


The editorial argues that university leaders tend to measure improvements in academic quality by dramatic increases in the number of articles that professors publish in renowned 61 academic journals, while the public measures it by enhanced academic value and contributions to research work.




When it comes to university internationalization, school officials believe they should hire more Chinese scholars who have returned from overseas, while the public believes the schools should strive to be on same level as world-renowned universities.


The editorial concludes by saying that to help universities make the right decisions in educational reform, more voices should be heard from average teachers and the general public.
