Kolkata Saturday May 7, 2011 www.thebengalpost.com WORLD11 Briefly Sri Lanka to discuss UN report Colombo: Sri Lanka will raise the issue of a UN panel report during a foreign ministerial meeting of the non aligned nations this month. A delegation headed by the external affairs minister G L Peiris will attend the meeting to be held in Bali, Indonesia on May 26 and 27, a government release said.—PTI UN flays Nepal over Maoist minister Kathmandu: UN human rights watchdog today slammed the Nepal government for appointing a Maoist leader as a minister, who is facing charges of abduction and murder. The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights (OHCHR) flayed the appointment of Agni Sapkota as the information minister in the communist-led coalition headed by Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal.—PTI Cambodia rejects Thai demands Jakarta: Cambodian foreign minister Hor Namhong on Friday rejected a Thai demand to withdraw troops from an 11th-century Khmer temple at the disputed border, saying Bangkok was not sincere about peace. “We never can withdraw our troops from our own territory. That should be very clear,” Hor Namhong told reporters. —AFP Karachi gambling den blast kills 3 Islamabad: Unidentified attackers lobbed a grenade at a gambling den in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi today, killing at least three persons and injuring 27 others. The attack occurred at the crowded Jhatpat Market in Lyari area of Karachi. Scores of people were present at the gambling den. The injured and the bodies were taken to two nearby hospitals. At least three persons were killed and 27 others injured in the attack, TV news channels reported.—PTI � A two months-old lemur cub hangs to its mother in Salzburg Zoo on Friday—AP SA minister’s wife gets 12 years Johannesburg: Sheryl Cwele, the wife of South Africa’s intelligence minister, was today convicted of drug trafficking for using young women as mules to smuggle cocaine into the country. Cwele, who is married to state security minister Siyabonga Cwele, was convicted along with Nigerian Frank Nabolisa in the High Court in the eastern city of Pietermaritzburg. Judge Piet Koen said Cwele and Nabolisa had clearly worked together to recruit two women as drug mules, according to the Sapa news agency.—AFP 1.5 tonnes of ivory seized in Kenya Nairobi: Kenyan authorities have seized nearly 1.5 tonnes of elephant tusks hidden in metal boxes at the country's main airport in Nairobi, officials said on Friday. The 115 elephant tusks weighing 1,446 kg had been coated with pepper, wrapped and sealed in the boxes in a bid to put off sniffer dogs, said Kennedy Onyonyi, senior deputy commissioner at the Kenya Revenue Authority. —Reuters West, Arabs pledge cash to rebels Tripoli: France on Friday expelled 14 Libyan diplomats loyal to the government of Muammar Gaddafi, the French foreign ministry said. France, the United States, Britain and others are trying to go beyond a Nato bombing campaign against troops loyal to Gaddafi to find other ways of helping an uprising that prised eastern Libya from his control but then stalled. The bombing and imposition of a no-fly zone, both intended to protect civilians, have not prevented scores being killed in government attacks on remaining pockets of rebellion in western Libya, notably the besieged cities of Misrata and Zintan. Amnesty International said on Friday that indiscriminate attacks on Misrata, including the use of snipers, cluster bombs and artillery in civilian areas, might amount to war crimes. “The scale of the relentless attacks that we have seen by al-Gaddafi forces to intimidate the residents of Misrata for more than two months is truly horrifying," said Donatella Rovera, Amnesty International's senior adviser in Libya. “It shows a total disregard for the lives of ordinary people and is in clear breach of international humanitarian law.” A coalition of Western and Arab Saleh still defiant, GCC exit deal stalls Sanaa: Yemen's opposition on Friday dismissed President Ali Abdullah Saleh's stance on a revised Gulf plan to ease him out of power, as security forces gathered in anticipation of mass demonstrations for and against him. The ruling party said on Thursday night that Saleh would not sign the deal until after representatives of the ruling party and the opposition had signed. Opposition leader Sultan Atwani told Reuters on Friday his coalition would not accept. The plan proposed by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) envisages Saleh stepping down 30 days after signing the deal in the hope that this will end three months of bitter protests demanding his resignation, in which at least 130 people have been killed. But the Opposition distrusts Saleh, a wily political survivor for over 30 years and until now a key ally of the United States and Saudi Arabia in the fight against al Qaida. “We won't accept unless the president signs as a party to the deal, and we call on the GCC and the United States and the European Union to put pressure on Saleh to sign the initiative,” Atwani said. The GCC offered a modified plan on Thursday in which 15 representatives from both the ruling party and the political opposition would ink the plan in Sanaa, instead of only Saleh and the head of the Opposition, but to no avail.—Reuters 10 films likely to create a splash 1.The Tree of Life 2.

He also said residents in the coastal city of Banias feared the army, which they said was posted 4 km away, might storm the city. Activists and witnesses said demonstrations broke out after the main Friday prayers in cities across the country of 20 million people, from Banias on the Mediterranean coast to Qamishly in the Kurdish east. International criticism has mounted against Assad, who has gone on the offensive to maintain his family's fourdecade grip on power and crush demonstrators dema- Kan shuts down of Hamaoka N plant Tokyo: Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said on Friday that Chubu Electric Power Co should halt all operations at its Hamaoka nuclear plant in central Japan, due to worries a strong earthquake could cause another nuclear crisis. Kan, who has been under fire for his response to a nuclear crisis at another plant triggered by the March 11 quake and tsunami, added the government would try to prevent the halt of the Hamaoka nuclear reactors from causing power supply problems. Companies served by two quake-affected utilities in Tokyo and the north have already been asked to curb electricity usage this summer when demand peaks. The shutdown at Hamaoka raises the risk of power disruptions in the Chubu � Protesters hold up banners during an anti-government rally in Sidon, in Syria on Friday—Reuters nding freedom. European Union governments agreed on Friday to impose asset freezes and travel restrictions against Syrian officials responsible for the violent repression, which rights campaigners say has killed more than 560 people. region, home to Toyota Motor Corp and many other major manufacturers. Kan said he made the decision “out of concerns for public safety,” given an 87 percent probability forecast by government experts that an earthquake with a magnitude 8.0 would hit the area served by Chubu Electric within the next 30 years. “If there were a major accident at Hamaoka nuclear plant, it would have an enormous impact on the entire Japanese society,” Kan told a televised news conference. The 3,617 megawatt Hama-oka plant accounts for about 7 percent of Japan's combined nuclear power generating capacity. It is located about 200 kilometres southwest of Tokyo and sits near an active earthquake zone.—Reuters London: The Cannes film festival is gearing up for what critics say should be a vintage year, with Hollywood stars out in force, revered directors there in droves and political controversy thrown into the mix. The world's biggest cinema showcase has suffered from studio cost-cutting and lacklustre lineups in recent years, but news that Terrence Malick's eagerly awaited The Tree of Life is in the main competition has cinephiles licking their lips. Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Sean Penn, Mel Gibson, French First Lady Carla Bruni and jury president Robert De Niro are among big names expected to walk the red carpet and hit the French Riviera party circuit. And in addition to Malick, movie lovers can admire the ple Gaddafi, in power since 1969. The rebel Transitional National Council has said it needs up to $3 billion to keep going in the coming months, and the UN World Food Programme said on Thursday that It was not immediately clear if Assad himself would be targeted under the sanctions, which follows last week's agreement in principle to levy an arms embargo on Syria. The measures will be approved on Monday if no member state objects.—Reuters Cannes 2011 boasts ‘one of the best lineups’ latest works from Pedro Almodovar, two-time Cannes winners the Dardenne brothers, previous Palme d’Or laureates Lars Von Trier and Nanni Moretti and Japan's prolific director Takashi Miike. “It’s the strongest lineup in ages,” said Mark Cousins, a film critic and regular Cannes attendee.“It’s the Malick that most excites. Some film makers make films about their home town, or their country, but Terrence Malick makes films about what it's like to be alive.” The Tree of Life stars Pitt and Penn in a family saga set in the Midwest during the 1950s. The long wait for its arrival, and a trailer featuring mysterious cosmic scenes, have raised expectations for what is only Malick's fifth feature. Penn also appears in Italian Libya's food supplies could run out in six to eight weeks. At Thursday's Libya Contact Group meeting in Rome, Kuwait pledged $180 million and Qatar promised $400-500 million to the I’M WATCHING YOU director Paolo Sorrentino's incompetition “This Must Be The Place”, in which he portrays a retired rock star who sets out to find his father’s executioner, an ex-Nazi war criminal living in the United States. Kicking off the May 11-22 marathon of screenings, press interviews, deal-making and late night revelry in the palm-lined Mediterranean resort will be Woody Allen’s romantic comedy Midnight in Paris, starring Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams. Much of the media's focus is likely to be on former model Bruni, who has a small role in the film and is at the centre of intense speculation in France over whether she is pregnant. By coincidence, Cannes also includes biopic La Conquete (The Conquest), which portrays Bruni’s husband, French France expels 14 Libyan diplomats Paris: France has ordered 14 people who served as Libyan diplomats under Muammar Gaddafi's regime to leave the country within two days, the French foreign ministry said today. “France has declared persona non grata 14 Libyan ex-diplomats posted in France,” the ministry said in a statement, indicating that Paris no longer recognised their diplomatic status. “Depending on their case, those concerned have a deadline of 24 to 48 hours to leave French national territory.” The ministry accused them of “"activities incompatible with the relevant UN resolutions ... and contrary to the protection of Libyan civilians,” citing the UN mandate under which international forces are bombing Gaddafi's strategic sites.

A US official said the administration was considering unblocking more than $150 million for humanitarian purposes and France said it was evaluating its contribution.—Reuters Kayani doesn’t back ‘no-first-use’ N-policy Washington: Pakistan's powerful army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani does not support Presid-ent Asif Ali Zardari's “no-first-use” nuclear policy, according to US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks. “Although he has remained silent on the subject, Kayani does not support Zardari's statement last year to the Indian press that Pakistan would adopt a 'no first use' policy on nuclear weapons. “Despite increasing financial constraints, we believe that the military is proceeding with an expansion of both its growing strategic weapons and missile programs,” the “scenesetter” cables sent by the then US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne Patterson prior to Kayani's Washington visit between February 20-27, 2009, said. The major US concern has not been that an Islamic militant could steal an entire weapon but rather the chance someone working in government of Pakistan's facilities could gradually smuggle enough fissile material out to eventually make a weapon and the vulnerability of weapons in transit. The cables, generated just months after the Mumbai terror attacks, also talk about Pakistan military and ISI providing support to terror groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba as a foreign policy tool.— PTI � A man walks past the outside wall of the Art In The Streets exhibit at the Geffen Contemporary at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles on Friday —Reuters President Nicolas Sarkozy, during the 2007 election and the collapse of his previous marriage to Cecilia.

Belgium's Dardenne brothers US drones kill 17 ‘militants’ in Pakistan Islamabad: US drone aircraft fired missiles into a house in Pakistan’s North Waziristan region on Friday, killing at least 17 suspected militants as Islamists protested against the killing of Osama bin Laden. Four drones took part in the first such attack since US special forces killed the al Qaida leader on Monday not far from Islamabad, further straining ties between the strategic allies whose cooperation is needed to stabilise neighbouring Afghanistan. Facing relentless suicide bombings by Islamic militants and struggling with a stagnant economy, Pakistan's leaders now face criticism from all sides on bin Laden. Both Islamists and ordinary Pakistanis are questioning how their leaders can just stand by while the United States sends commandos deep inside the country into a garrison city to eliminate the al Qaida chief. At the same time, suspicions that some Pakistani security forces might have known he was hiding in the country threaten to strain already uneasy ties with Washington. “The country's political and military leadership should immediately resign as they have failed to ensure the country's integrity,” said Fareed Ahmed Paracha, a senior leader of the biggest Islamist political party, Jamaat-e-Islami, at a rally in the eastern city of Lahore. “This is an attack on Pakistan's sovereignty,” said Paracha of the raid by US Navy SEALS that ended one of the most extensive manhunts in history. Meanwhile, about 1,500 Islamists demonstrated near the city of Quetta, capital of Baluchistan province in the southwest, saying more figures like bin Laden would arise to wage holy war against the United States.In Abbottabad, dozens of Islamists marched through streets calling on the United States to stay out of Pakistan.—Reuters have a chance to become the first directors to scoop the coveted Palme d'Or three times with The Kid With A Bike and festival favourite Almodovar will aim to lift his first Golden Palm with The Skin I Live In.
