I need to make clear that this is not justification for the danger I put Ryan Hollweg in and the damage I have caused the game. SNT.62298.13108 The Associated Press indicated that criminal charges against Simon are being considered. SNT.62298.13109 According to a spokesperson for Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice, no decision has been reached on bringing charges, but that prosecutors would review the tape. SNT.131531.13110 Astronomers have discovered an extrasolar planet that may eventually collide into its sun. SNT.131531.13111 The planet, called WASP-18b, orbits its star in under one day, and is 10 times larger than Jupiter. SNT.131531.13112 The planet's name is derived from the group that discovered it, WASP (Wide Angle Search for Planets). SNT.131531.13113 Tidal interactions between the planet and its star are pulling them together, and it will likely crash into its star in under one million years. SNT.131531.13114 The planet is relatively much closer to its star than Earth is to the Sun. SNT.131531.13115 Earth is a distance of 93 million miles from the sun, whereas WASP-18b is only 1.4 million miles from its star. SNT.131531.13116 Professor Andrew Collier Cameron of St. Andrew's University commented on the inherent problems with the planet: The problem with this planet is that it's very massive and very close to its star. SNT.131531.13117 It should be creating tidal bulging that makes it spiral into its star. SNT.131531.13118 Coel Hellier of Keele University led a group of researchers that discovered the planet. SNT.131531.13119 Their study of WASP-18b was published in the August 27 issue of the journal Nature. SNT.131531.13120 Scientists had a 1 in 2,000 chance of discovering the planet. SNT.131531.13121 There are 300 planets which are known to orbit stars other than the Sun. SNT.8006.13122 The military reported that after taking the youth to an isolated area they searched him and found another four explosives. SNT.8006.13123 The Hawara checkpoint has seen this kind of trouble before. SNT.8006.13124 In April 2004, soldiers there arrested a 16-year-old, also Palestinian, with a suicide bomb strapped to his body. SNT.8006.13125 The teenager, Hussam Abdo, later told an Israeli newspaper he was on a mission to kill Israeli soldiers. SNT.8006.13126 Israeli radio noted that this is the third Palestinian child in the past two months caught attempting to transfer explosives past Israeli checkpoints. SNT.116620.13127 Raouf Amin el-Araby, a 52-year-old Egyptian doctor who has been serving the Saudi Royal family for 20 years, was convicted of malpractice. SNT.116620.13128 Egyptian newspapers reported that he was accused of driving a Saudi princess to addiction, reportedly after treating a Saudi princess with painkillers. SNT.116620.13129 Initially sentenced to 7 years and 700 lashes, he has been sentenced to 15 years and 1500 lashes, 70 a week, after making an appeal. SNT.116620.13130 Family members, friends and colleagues gathered in outrage and grief outside the headquarters of Egypt's doctors union, calling upon King Abdullah to pardon Raouf. SNT.116620.13131 1,500 lashes is unprecedented in the history of Islam, read one banner carried by protesters. SNT.116620.13132 Who is responsible for the humiliation of our doctors abroad? read another. SNT.116620.13133 The Egyptian Organization for Human Rights (EOHR) and the foreign minister are working hard to find a way to return Raouf home quickly. SNT.116620.13134 Hafez Abu Saeda, the director of EOHR, stated that the princess was prescribed the same medication that she was receiving in the United States, so it is obvious that the doctor was not at fault for her addiction. SNT.116620.13135 Protests in Egypt have driven the Egyptian foreign ministry to seek a solution, partly out of concern that negative repercussions may damage relations between Cairo and Riyadh. SNT.116620.13136 A human rights lawyer said that he was given the first 70 lashes last week and he will get 70 more this week. SNT.33276.13137 Several thousand Muslims protested today in Paris, France, as well as the eastern city of Strasbourg, against the publication of caricatures of the prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper and the re-publication of some of these caricatures in French newspapers: the daily France Soir and the weekly Charlie Hebdo. SNT.33276.13138 The protesters consider that these caricatures insulted their prophet, and thus, they contend, their religion and themselves. SNT.33276.13139 Charlie Hebdo is a weekly paper known for its extremely acerbic positions against organized religion; it often mocks Catholicism, the largest religious denomination in France. SNT.33276.13140 Some banners claimed that freedom of speech should not imply the possibility of insulting religious figures. SNT.33276.13141 Other banners claimed that French society was applying dual standards. SNT.33276.13142 Some protesters demanded a law against islamophobia; France does not have blasphemy laws and has a tradition of anticlericalism. SNT.33276.13143 Many of the female protesters wore a scarf to hide their hair, and some wore a hijab or veil. SNT.33276.13144 The French government enacted a law prohibiting conspicuous religious symbols in government-operated schools, a move widely considered to be targeting the veil and scarf, which many consider a sign of subordination of females. SNT.33276.13145 The protest was followed at a distance by a large complement of CRS and other police forces. SNT.83139.13146 Libertarianz party president, Craig Milmine, and the party leader, Bernard Darnton, spoke exclusively to Wikinews journalist Gabriel Pollard about the political philosophy, libertarianism in New Zealand. SNT.83139.13147 This article follows on from interviews with republican, Lewis Holden; and monarchist, Noel Cox. SNT.83139.13148 The idea of libertarianism is where consent is required for all actions between people, and that these interactions are voluntary. SNT.83139.13149 Over four million people will be given freedom to run their own lives as Mr Milmine said. SNT.83139.13150 He says the Government doesn't follow this generally accepted principle. SNT.83139.13151 They take money without consent, order us around, and tell us what we can and cannot put in our bodies. SNT.83139.13152 Their party website states, We will put paid to bloated government bureaucracy and its authoritarian inclinations. SNT.83139.13153 Mr Darnton said that one of the biggest jobs of Libertarianz is to show New Zealanders how their lives could be better. SNT.83139.13154 We just smile and get on with the next thing. SNT.83139.13155 Libertarianz is, as Mr Milmine says, principled opposition to the idea of a large nanny-state government in New Zealand. SNT.83139.13156 A burglar stealing your TV is in the wrong because they are taking without permission. SNT.83139.13157 The government steals a proportion of your wealth every year, the fact that they allow a minor amount of input from you into how they are going to distribute the stolen loot does not change the fact that they stole it in the first place. SNT.83139.13158 Mr Darnton also describes the current system of governance as a game. SNT.83139.13159 What's right or wrong doesn't really matter as long as the red team or the blue team or whoever is scoring more points. SNT.83139.13160 The reason this political philosophy, underpinned by objectivism, isn't well accepted in the New Zealand culture is because New Zealanders are generally wary of major change, vote for the party they always have, and vote for the party they think will win, not the one they want to win, Mr Darton believes. SNT.83139.13161 These sorts of behaviour reinforce the big parties, even though neither have much to offer, Mr Darton said, What Libertarianz is proposing is something quite different to anything any other party is putting forward. SNT.83139.13161-2 Mr Milmine sees New Zealanders accepting libertarianism because, Slowly people see that the government doesn’t solve their problems, it caused them in the first place. SNT.83139.13161-3 And when this is followed by a significant minority, Mr Milmine says, the change will happen very quickly. SNT.83139.13162 Although Mr Milmine does say that he cannot predict what will happen to New Zealand if it were to change to a libertarianism state, because it is asking me to predict the interactions of over four million people when they are given freedom to run their own lives. SNT.83139.13163 As well as changing the system of Government, Libertarianz also propose New Zealand becoming a republic and removing the constitutional monarchy. SNT.83139.13164 Mr Darnton said, The monarchy is so distant in New Zealand that I don't think becoming a republic would make a big difference in many people's lives. SNT.83139.13164-2 Mr Milmine says, A head of state has a valid role to play as a check on the power on the government, but it cannot perform this role if it is toothless. SNT.83139.13165 Although Mr Darnton believes that New Zealand will eventually become a republic, he is wary of making a push to it too quickly. SNT.83139.13166 He cites anti-prosperity and the governmental interference as issues that could make it into a written constitution and making it harder to shift later. SNT.83139.13167 While Mr Milmine says they would run into problems with people disagreeing with the Treaty of Waitangi if it were placed into a written constitution. SNT.83139.13168 And the final question asked to both Craig Milmine and Bernard Darnton was whether they were a Holden or a Ford fan. SNT.83139.13169 Mr Milmine said he preferred Subaru – I prefer the rallies – they allow more freedom while Mr Darnton bluntly said, No, I'm not. SNT.33264.13170 According to federal prosecutors, Lewis Scooter Libby Jr., the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, told a grand jury that his superiors authorized him to disclose to reporters information from the U.S. National Intelligence Estimate. SNT.33264.13171 Portions of the report included still-classified information on Iraqi weapons capability leaked in June and July 2003. SNT.33264.13172 Libby's claim of authorization was revealed in a letter by special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald, written January 23 and included in papers filed in court by Libby's defense team on Monday. SNT.33264.13173 Although this letter did not say which superiors Libby referred to, the National Journal reported on Thursday that their sources said this included his immediate boss, V.P. SNT.33264.13174 Mr. Libby was obliged to step down after he was indicted on charges that he lied about his role in exposing the identity of Valerie Plame Wilson, a C.I.A. operative, to the journalist Robert Novak in July 2003. SNT.33264.13175 Federal prosecutors plan to use the confession to establish that Mr. Libby was part of the Bush administration's public relations campaign to rebut Mr. Wilson's op-ed column in The New York Times. SNT.33264.13176 The column stated that there was little evidence to support the administration's claims that Saddam Hussein was pursuing weapons of mass destruction. SNT.195983.13177 Jonathan Ross presented his final episode of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on the BBC after more than nine years. SNT.195983.13178 He also finished hosting his programme on BBC Radio 2. SNT.195983.13179 Ross announced his departure from the BBC in January 2010, having decided not to renew his contract with the broadcasting organisation. SNT.195983.13180 The guests that appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on Friday were English football player David Beckham, American actor Mickey Rourke and Jackie Chan, an actor from Hong Kong. SNT.195983.13181 Ross has stated that he was ashamed of few programmes and that [t]he vast majority are shows I am proud of. SNT.195983.13182 He felt grateful, lucky and honoured to have been able to work at the BBC. SNT.195983.13183 When talking about his programme on BBC Radio 2, during his final pre-recorded three-hour-long edition broadcast yesterday, Jonathan Ross commented: It has been a tremendous experience for us - obviously I like to think that the place has always been a little livelier while we are around. SNT.195983.13184 There were certain periods when it was a little too lively, but it's been a great experience and a learning experience, bizarrely for people of our age. SNT.195983.13185 The final song to be played at the end of the show was Drive-In Saturday, performed by David Bowie. SNT.195983.13186 Jonathan Ross is expected to present a new television chat show on commercial British channel ITV at some point in the future. SNT.195983.13187 It is believed that Graham Norton will be the replacement for Jonathan Ross as of 2011. SNT.81747.13188 There are two things one can expect on a trip to see Michael Musto at the offices of the Village Voice: a 20-minute round-trip wait for the elevator and rapid fire answers from one of the most recognizable gossip columnists in the United States. SNT.81747.13189 Musto, in addition to his appearances on Countdown with Keith Olbermann and the E! network, has been writing his column for the Voice since 1984. SNT.81747.13190 He has recently compiled the best of them in a book released this year titled, La Dolce Musto: Writings by the World's Most Outrageous Columnist. SNT.81747.13191 He was Carrie Bradshaw, replete with a prodigious use of puns, before Sex and the City was a thought. SNT.81747.13192 His column is a romp through his life, spats and opinions on socio-political issues. SNT.81747.13193 As David Thigpen of the Chicago Tribune wrote, Musto is a funny and caustic satirist who masquerades as a gossip and nightlife columnist. SNT.81747.13194 Musto, a Columbia University graduate, is a rarity in today's celebrity world: he is accessible. SNT.81747.13195 He often corresponds with his readers and his public functions are a mix of parties, nightclubs, academic lectures, university panels and film premieres. SNT.81747.13196 He is friendly and frank, and he welcomes people to join him in his world (I just got a message that Michael Lucas died! he says staring wide-eyed at his phone; the message turned out to be false). SNT.81747.13197 Wikinews reporter David Shankbone spoke with Musto about his life and his relationship to the world of celebrity journalism. SNT.187350.13198 According to Democratic Senator Mark Begich from Alaska, the U.S. Department of the Interior has decided to halt all new Arctic exploratory oil drilling applications until 2011. SNT.187350.13199 The response is believed to be caused in part by the two current oil spill disasters (that of the Deepwater Horizon Incident and more recently the Alaska oil pipeline malfunction). SNT.187350.13200 However, Begich is not happy about the actions taken by the White House. SNT.187350.13201 I am frustrated that this decision by the Obama administration to halt offshore development for a year will cause more delays and higher costs for domestic oil and gas production to meet the nation's energy needs, Begich claims. SNT.187350.13202 Last September, the state of Alaska made a public notice about Shell's desire to drill off the coast of the Beaufort Sea, placing experimental drilling rigs at two drill site location: Torpedo and Sivulliq. SNT.187350.13203 Shell is committed to undertaking a safe and environmentally responsible exploration program in the Chukchi Sea and Beaufort Sea in 2010, said Shell Oil Company President Marvin E. Odum to the U.S. Department of the Interior's Mineral Management Service (MMS). SNT.187350.13204 Odum follows with, I am confident that we are ready to conduct the 2010 Arctic exploratory program safely and, I want to be clear, the accountability for this program rests with Shell. SNT.187350.13205 Chuck Clausen, director of the Alaska project at the National Resources Defense Council is not so optimistic: SNT.187350.13205-2 Hazards present in the Arctic can include frigid temperatures, presence of sea ice, gale-force winds, intense storms and heavy fog ... SNT.187350.13206 Odum believes that the climate in the arctic will make any spill easier to clean up because, Arctic conditions create differences in responding to oil in cold and ice conditions. SNT.187350.13207 Differences in evaporation rates, viscosity and weathering provide greater opportunities to recover oil. SNT.187350.13208 In Arctic conditions, ice can aid oil spill response by slowing oil weathering, dampening waves, preventing oil from spreading over large distances, and allowing more time to respond. SNT.187350.13209 However, Clausen believes that there are no current systems to remove oil from icy ocean waters. SNT.187350.13210 This is not the first time that President Obama's administration has taken the environmentally cautious path in Alaska. SNT.187350.13211 The President put Bristol Bay off limits to oil and gas exploration until 2017. SNT.187350.13212 Bristol Bay currently is one of the top salmon fishing grounds in the state. SNT.187350.13213 Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is expected to give a speech at Thursday's White House address, regarding the suspension of Arctic oil drilling projects. SNT.384571.13214 Terry Knutsen, a man who achieved some notoriety in the 1960s with the novelty song Curse of the Hearse, was seriously injured in a collision late Wednesday evening, according to sources close to the singer. SNT.384571.13215 Mr. Knutsen, 70, routinely billed himself under the stage name Terry Teene and some sources indicate he may have recorded as many as 300 songs. SNT.384571.13216 Yesterday morning, local media reports indicated that his condition was listed as critical, but a source close to Mr. Knutsen described his condition yesterday morning as grave. SNT.384571.13217 Mr. Knutsen has performed for many years throughout Texas as a professional clown. SNT.384571.13218 He made a brief (uncredited) appearance many years ago on one episode of the hit television show In Living Color. SNT.384571.13219 Sources indicate he also had minor roles in various films. SNT.34427.13220 Simon Crean, Shadow Minister for Regional Development, has accused the Howard Government of abandoning regional development and showing no commitment to rural Australia. SNT.34427.13221 In a media release timed to coincide with the ten-year anniversary of the Howard Government, Mr. Crean said that the privatisation of Telstra and a failure to reform the Regional Partnerships program demonstrated the government's lack of commitment to the bush. SNT.34427.13222 The Minister for Transport and Regional Services has failed to clean up the Regional Partnerships program, four months after a Senate Inquiry recommended major changes, he said. SNT.34427.13223 AU$1.1 million dollars spent on the Gunnedah Grains to Ethanol project has been wasted - it still hasn't produced a single litre of ethanol. SNT.34427.13224 Likewise Beaudesert Rail, the recipient of $5.7 million in Government grants, has not travelled a single kilometre. SNT.34427.13225 Regional Partnerships program provides government assistance for projects in regional areas. SNT.34427.13226 According to a government media release, there is $360.9 million available under this program for the period 2005-06 to 2008-09. SNT.34427.13227 Mr Crean also criticised the National party for [selling out] rural and regional Australia - on Telstra, on trade and on essential services. SNT.34427.13228 Last week's revelation that Telstra plans to get rid of 5000 payphones after privatisation show the serial contempt of the Bush by the Coalition. SNT.34427.13229 The Minister for Transport and Regional Services, Warren Truss, has distanced himself from the Telstra announcement, saying that Telstra has an obligation to maintain services. SNT.34427.13230 Certainly, there is a still a demand for payphones around Australia. SNT.34427.13231 Telstra are expected to provide those kinds of services, he said. SNT.34427.13232 I think the time will come when we will move on to new technology and some of those systems that were more important in the past will be less important in the future but there are still many Australians who still depend on payphones and community telephone systems. SNT.34427.13233 Warren Truss' office was contacted to provide a response to Mr. Crean's criticisms, but had not responded by the time this article was published. SNT.149697.13234 A court martial got underway today accusing a Canadian soldier of murder for shooting a member of the Taliban on an Afghan battlefield. SNT.149697.13235 Captain Robert Semrau's case is believed to be a military and legal first. SNT.149697.13236 Semrau, 38, is facing four charges for the 2008 death. SNT.149697.13237 He is accused of second-degree murder, attempted murder, behaving in a disgraceful manner, and negligently performing a military duty. SNT.149697.13238 It is alleged that he shot the man twice despite him being an unarmed and seriously wounded prisoner. SNT.149697.13239 Court documents set a scene in which 36-year-old Semrau was in charge of a small group of soldiers caught in an ambush on October 19 last year. SNT.149697.13240 The Canadians were mentoring some new Afghan recruits, who were under British command. SNT.149697.13241 A United States Apache assault helicopter provided assistance to the group, who were in Lashkar Gah, Helmand, strafing the area. SNT.149697.13242 After beating back their attackers the soldiers discovered a fighter with injuries deemed to be so severe that medical aid would be ineffective, along with a dead man. SNT.149697.13243 Shortly afterwards, with only Semrau near the man, two gunshots were heard. SNT.149697.13244 At least one eyewitness claims to have watched Semrau shooting the militant with his field rifle. SNT.149697.13245 Troops then moved on and the man's body was never recovered. SNT.149697.13246 Captain Semrau was not investigated for two months, when his superiors heard of the alleged killing. SNT.149697.13247 He was ultimately arrested by the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service a month later and charged. SNT.149697.13248 He is now set to go on trial before Colonel Mario Duti, a military judge, and a five-member panel. SNT.149697.13249 The Canadian Press contacted Michel Drapeau, a retired lawyer and colonel. SNT.149697.13250 He says he believes it to be the first time Canada has launched a court martial for the death of a prisoner on the battlefield. SNT.149697.13251 I can't remember any such incidents in the past 50 years and in the Second World War, I don't believe there was such a court martial. SNT.149697.13252 There are a few recorded instances of alleged extra-judicial killing by Canadian soldiers, but no court martials for murder. SNT.149697.13253 Two Canadian soldiers faced a murder charge for the death of a teenager in Somalia in 1993 but the case was dropped; some evidence emerged during the inquiry that suggested another man may also have been killed illegally. SNT.149697.13254 More anecdotally, Canadians have been accused of similar murders in Korea and of shooting German prisoners for revenge during the second world war. SNT.59717.13255 Microsoft Corp. is establishing, in Shanghai, China, a center for research and development. SNT.59717.13256 It will be Microsoft's first research and development center of this kind outside the U.S. SNT.59717.13257 Microsoft decided to take this step because of several setbacks that occurred in its online services working in China. SNT.59717.13258 The company's new research and development center is to be established in Shanghai's Zizhu Science Park. SNT.59717.13259 At this location, where another giant, Intel Corp, already has its research office, Microsoft plans to develop Internet software. SNT.59717.13260 It will have a special technical support team that will work on Microsoft's MSN Messenger. SNT.59717.13261 The company hopes to make its online communication tool popular among Chinese teenagers and young professionals. SNT.59717.13262 However, the software giant lacks a facility to work with its well-known MSN service. SNT.59717.13263 Investing in its communication tool may strengthen the company's leading position on the Chinese market. SNT.59717.13264 Setting up the MSN research and development center in Peoples Republic of China implies that Microsoft looks forward to taking advantage of the Chinese market, which represents a quite flexible environment. SNT.59717.13265 This statement was made by Doug Crets, who works at Media Partners Asia as a Hong-Kong-based analyst. SNT.580609.13266 Around 9:40am (Wednesday) Sydney time and 2:40pm (Tuesday) California time, on ABC News 24 (of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation), a reporter covering the United States election said the network would call California for Barack Obama before the polls closed. SNT.580609.13267 The reporter went on to explain that the media in the United States avoids doing this so as not to affect voter turnout, but as they are reporting in Australia, this is not a local concern and they are not concerned about making predictions about race results. SNT.580609.13268 Going into the elections, Obama was already forecast to win in California, with RealClearPolitics predicting he would win by 14 points. SNT.580609.13269 ABC OTUS had also predicted Obama would win the state. SNT.580609.13270 Predicting election results before actual returns has been a problem historically, such as when Florida was called for Al Gore before all the votes had been counted. SNT.49042.13271 The Scugog flag controversy has now came to an end. SNT.49042.13272 The controversy began when councillor Lynn Philip Hodgson lowered the town hall flag out of respect for a fallen Canadian soldier. SNT.49042.13273 Rather than an issue of patriotism, the controversy dealt with union contracts which may have specified that the raising and lowering of flags was a role reserved only for union members. SNT.49042.13274 I thought I was doing the right thing at the time and I still think I did, Hodgson said yesterday. SNT.49042.13275 The public reaction to the lowering of the flag in a timely manner needs to be addressed, said Drebit. SNT.49042.13276 The union dropped the grievance and said it was all a misunderstanding. SNT.161255.13277 An extensive vaccination campaign across 19 West and Central African countries is to begin today in an attempt to stem a year-long polio epidemic in the region. SNT.161255.13278 The United Nations and international aid agencies plan to immunize 85 million children under five. SNT.161255.13279 More than 400, 000 volunteers and health workers will take part in the campaign, visiting children in their homes. SNT.161255.13280 The current polio epidemic has been going on for a year and there have been outbreaks in the last six months in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal and Sierra Leone. SNT.161255.13281 These countries will be the focus of the campaign, along with Benin, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Niger, Nigeria and Togo. SNT.161255.13282 Efforts last year failed to halt the disease because not enough children were vaccinated. SNT.161255.13283 The program failed in part because local religious leaders told parents that the vaccines would sterilize their children, or cause AIDS. SNT.161255.13284 As well as targeting more children, today's campaign features better training for volunteers. SNT.161255.13285 Vaccinations will be repeated on 26 March in the six key countries, and again on 24 April for all 19 countries involved. SNT.161255.13286 The campaign is funded by Rotary International who have provided $30 million. SNT.161255.13287 In 2009 the World Health Organization reported that approximately 1,600 children were paralysed by the virus worldwide. SNT.31106.13288 At least eight people have died in a fire in a multi-storied office center, namely, in the office belonging to the Russian Savings Bank (Sberbank), in the Russian Pacific port city of Vladivostok, the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry said Monday. SNT.31106.13289 A spokesman said that the blaze broke at about 12:00 local time (02:00 UTC) on the sixth floor of the building. SNT.31106.13290 Some of the victims died when they jumped out windows in an attempt to escape the flames. SNT.31106.13291 In addition to the fatalities, another 15 people were hospitalized with burns and injuries. SNT.31106.13292 According to firefighters, serious breaches of fire-safety regulations were partly to blame for the deaths. SNT.31106.13293 A door to the attic was locked and people could not escape through an emergency exit. SNT.31106.13294 A team of investigators led by the deputy prosecutor of the Maritime Territory, Sergei Luchaninov, is looking into how the fire started. SNT.107193.13295 South African media have reported that police staff in South Africa were arrested on allegations of fraud. SNT.107193.13296 Police said Saturday that nine people including six employees of the South African Police Service were arrested in Mpumalanga. SNT.107193.13297 A spokesperson for the police service, Captain Leonard Hlathi, said that the other three individuals have resigned from the police. SNT.107193.13298 Hlathi said that the individuals were arrested for fraud, corruption and theft, and allegedly defrauded South Africa of approximately R2.5-million (about US$327,000) between 2003 and 2007. SNT.107193.13299 This was a syndicate that has cost the police service more than R2.5million and we believe we have made a breakthrough, said Hlathi. SNT.107193.13300 Hlathi told the South African Press Association that the investigation began in April 2007 and showed that the suspects registered companies in the South Africa police database, though no existing files were found for the companies themselves. SNT.107193.13301 He said that three out of the five companies were found not to exist. SNT.107193.13302 The suspects were arrested on Friday by the Mpumalanga organized crime unit. SNT.107193.13303 We have a warrant of arrest that we are happy to execute against you right away. SNT.107193.13304 You are now under arrest on charges of fraud and you have the right to remain silent if you so wish, said Superintendent Obed Ngwenya, police organized crime unit head, prior to arresting one of the individuals. SNT.107193.13305 The individuals arrested appeared in the Nelspruit magistrate's court on Friday. SNT.107193.13306 They were released with a subsequent court date set for June 21. SNT.45880.13307 While whole blocks of Beirut are leveled to rubble and civilians flee by the thousands, the U.S. administration is, according to the New York Times expediting a delivery of bombs to Israel. SNT.45880.13308 An op-ed piece in the Sydney Morning Herald concludes that the sale of more American arms to the Israeli arm will cause anger and might be used to justify Iran supplying missiles to Hezbollah. SNT.45880.13309 According to Arab political analysts the decision to rush more bombs to Israel will increase existing anti-American feelings in the Middle East and will help radicals. SNT.45880.13310 The rushing of more bombs to Israel is consistent with US policy, according to a report issued three days ago by the World Policy Institute which indicates that Israel has always been the largest recipient of military aid from the United States. SNT.45880.13311 According to Frida Berrigan, co-author of the review entitled 'U.S. Military Assistance and Arms Transfers to Israel: U.S. Aid, Companies Fuel Israeli Military', U.S. military aid to Israel is about $3 billion a year. SNT.45880.13312 This equates to about 20% of the Israeli military budget annually. SNT.45880.13313 According to Berrigan, in an interview given to Democracy Now on Friday, just on the 14th of July while calling for restraint the U.S. also sold $120 million worth of jet fuel to the Israeli military assisting their bombing campaign of Lebanon. SNT.45880.13314 In fact, Berrigan said, since the Bush administration came into power, about a total of $6.3 billion worth of weapons sold to Israel. SNT.45880.13315 Berrigan also added that if in fact the United States wanted to cut military aid at this time they have precedent to do so, citing as an example the Reagan administration's cut of military aid and freezing of weapons sales to Israel during its last invasion of Lebanon in 1981, during the then conflict's first 10 weeks. SNT.45880.13316 Israel claims they have been using precision-guided munitions in order to neutralize Hezbollah and to minimize harm to civilians. SNT.45880.13317 However, U.N. and Lebanese officials estimate at least 360 Lebanese civilians have been killed and more than 1,000 wounded, with about 700,000 people already displaced since Israel's bombings began. SNT.45880.13318 According to the United Nation's emergency relief co-coordinator, Jan Egeland, nearly one third of casualties resulting from the Israeli offensive in Lebanon have been children. SNT.45880.13319 Egeland, who visited Lebanon today denounced the Israeli strikes and appealed for safe passage for aid, saying civilians were paying a disproportionate price in the attacks targeting Hezbollah strongholds. SNT.45880.13320 He said civilians are paying a disproportionate price in Lebanon and northern Israel and stated that A disproportionate response by Israel is a violation of international humanitarian law. SNT.45880.13321 In many capital cities around the world including the Middle East, as well as Europe, Canada, Latin America and the United States thousands of people took part in demonstrations against the Israeli strikes. SNT.45880.13322 In London people marched to the US embassy and shouted slogans such as George Bush, terrorist and Down, down, USA. SNT.45880.13323 In Tel Aviv 1,000 Israeli Jews and Arabs also turned out to denounce their country's actions, gathering in Rabin Square and brandishing placards reading war is disaster and Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies. SNT.107318.13324 Doctors performing a Caesarian delivery in a Darwin, Australia hospital were stunned to discover a rare ovarian ectopic pregnancy. SNT.107318.13325 According to Robin Cahill, general manager of the Darwin Private Hospital, ovarian pregnancies occur in only 1 in every 40,000 fertilisations. SNT.107318.13326 An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilised egg implants in a woman's body in a location other than the uterus. SNT.107318.13327 The most common place for an ectopic pregnancy to occur is the Fallopian tubes, accounting for roughly 95% of all ectopic pregnancies. SNT.107318.13328 Ectopic pregnancies are generally discovered early, especially as they tend to cause bleeding in the mother, and tend to miscarry or be terminated due to the health risks they pose. SNT.107318.13329 The mother, Meera Thangarajah, however, suffered no complications during her pregnancy, and an ultrasound performed mid-way through the pregnancy did not discover the complication. SNT.107318.13330 The hospital's obstetrician Andrew Miller says that having an ovarian pregnancy survive to full-term is unheard of. SNT.107318.13331 The British Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists agrees, with a representative saying the odds of a successful ovarian pregnancy are no more than one in a million, taking into account both the difficulty of bringing such a pregnancy to term and the tendency for the pregnancy to be terminated when it is discovered early. SNT.107318.13332 The baby, a girl, was named Durga, a Hindu name meaning goddess, and weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces (2.8 kg). SNT.107318.13333 The father, Ravi Thangarajah, says that doctors told him he was one of the luckiest men in the world. SNT.5705.13334 The play is scheduled to open March, 18, as part of the Theater Festival of Curitiba. SNT.102879.13335 In the past two months, Parker Somerville, a videographer for the website TMZ.com, transitioned from an average guy leading an ordinary life, to living in an extraordinary voyeuristic existence, and back again to the beginning. SNT.102879.13336 Simply put, it was a transition from reality to reality, with a two-week detour in reality television. SNT.102879.13337 Somerville was a former contestant on the CBS reality TV staple Big Brother, currently in its ninth installment. SNT.102879.13338 Evicted on Day 14, Somerville hoped to have another chance to play the game, but came in second in the special America's Choice poll to bring back a former HouseGuest (the poll results were eventually not used at all and nobody was brought back). SNT.102879.13339 Now freed from a three-week sequester, Somerville was interviewed by Wikinews reporter Mike Halterman and he discussed his thoughts on Big Brother, how he and his fellow HouseGuests were portrayed and received, and what he plans to do now that his experience is, for the most part, over. SNT.102879.13340 Somerville will return to Big Brother on finale night in five weeks. SNT.102879.13341 Big Brother airs on CBS in the United States, Global in Canada, and E4 in the United Kingdom. SNT.118386.13342 The Coast Guard reported yesterday that a cargo ship laden with cement sank overnight in the Philippines, killing the vessel's chief engineer. SNT.118386.13343 A passing ship rescued the 19 others, while a coast guard rescue boat itself required rescue in strong waves in the region after getting into difficulties before losing contact. SNT.118386.13344 MV Maria Lourdes, a 639-ton vessel, had been transporting 22,000 bags of cement from Iligan City in Lanao del Norte and was headed towards a town in Occidental Mindoro when the starboard main engine failed. SNT.118386.13345 While running on only the port main engine, strong waves battered the ship until shortly after 7:00 p.m. Tuesday night, when she went down at Antique. SNT.118386.13346 The Coast Guard received word on the emergency at 7:03 p.m. from Candano Shipping Lines. SNT.118386.13347 Vessel 3504 was dispatched to aid the stricken ship, but the boat was also troubled by strong waves and eventually contact was lost. SNT.118386.13348 A passing ship rescued the survivors from the Maria Lourdes instead. SNT.118386.13349 Vessel 3504's crew were located on Sibay Island by the Philippine Air Force. SNT.118386.13350 The seven-man crew had abandoned the boat to rough seas and sought refuge on the island. SNT.44324.13351 People came across Canada to Ottawa to celebrate Canada's 139th birthday. SNT.44324.13352 About 25,000 people including Prime Minister Stephen Harper, his wife and their two children were there. SNT.44324.13353 Military veterans, medal-winning Olympic athletes and some of Canada's biggest names in music were there. SNT.44324.13354 Canadian artists like Colin James and Annie Villeneuve performed in front of the Peace Tower. SNT.44324.13355 Since Canada has two official languages (English and French) some artists were from Quebec and sung in French. SNT.44324.13356 Prime Minister Stephen Harper urged Canadians to pay tribute to the soldiers and aid workers in Afghanistan. SNT.44324.13357 Let's show our appreciation, today and every day, to those who do it best for us in Afghanistan and around the world, Harper said. SNT.44324.13358 Our diplomats, our development workers and brave men and women of the Canadian Forces. SNT.44324.13359 Michaëlle Jean noted Canada's prosperity, including in her remarks a thank you to the people who toil to provide the country with a safe and plentiful food supply. SNT.44324.13360 Bill Graham released a statement describing Canada as being like no other country, made up of individuals, representing all ethnicities and all religions, bound together by our shared values of family, community, tolerance and freedom. SNT.44324.13361 Musicians performed in front of the Peace Tower, and fireworks ended the show. SNT.99007.13362 George W. Bush, the president of the United States has visited Tennessee, which was hit by over 25 tornadoes which caused over 33 deaths. SNT.99007.13363 In the visit Mr.Bush said that the government has got a role to play in repairing the damage from the tornado and that anyone who has been affected should call 1-800-621-3362 to find out the help that is available. SNT.99007.13364 Later in the speech Mr.Bush said that he's sorry you're going through what you're going through, to the residents of Macon County, which he was visiting. SNT.99007.13365 He continued by saying that life sometimes is unfair and you don't get to play the hand that you wanted to play, and that he believes the question is when you get dealt the hand, how do you play it? SNT.99007.13365-2 He continued by saying that the community of Macon County is going to be as strong as ever. SNT.123105.13366 Andry Rajoelina, who ousted Madagascan ex-president President Marc Ravalomanana earlier this week, officially became the leader of the country, after being sworn in on Saturday. SNT.123105.13367 National television broadcasted the inauguration, which occurred at a soccer field in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar. SNT.123105.13368 Tens of thousands of people attended the event, although approximately 2,000 supporters of Ravalomanana held protests in the capital's Democracy Square. SNT.123105.13369 We proclaim today the end of the dictatorship, said the new president, promising to tackle corruption that was rife under Ravalomanana. SNT.123105.13370 Earlier this week, then-president Ravalomanana gave up his power to military forces, which subsequently gave Rajoelina control over the government. SNT.123105.13371 Many foreign powers, among them the United States and France, have denounced the change in leadership as a coup. SNT.123105.13372 Norway and the US have both frozen all non-humanitarian aid to Madagascar, whilst the African Union suspended Madagascar's membership. SNT.123105.13373 The South African Development Community (SADC) stated that it completely rejected the legitimacy of the new president. SNT.49886.13374 At least three assailants tried to storm the U.S. embassy in the Rawda area of Damascus, Syria. SNT.49886.13375 According to reports, there was an exchange of gunfire and explosions were heard due to a car being blown up. SNT.49886.13376 A Chinese diplomat was injured by a stray bullet while he was standing on top of the Chinese embassy building, located close to US embassy. SNT.106636.13377 A bus crash in France's Loire Valley has left seven of the Moroccan passengers dead. SNT.106636.13378 22 of the 32 on board were injured, four critically, after the bus smashed into a concrete pillar on the A10 near Blois in the small hours of yesterday morning. SNT.106636.13379 The bus had departed Tiznit in South Morocco on Wednesday and was headed to the Parisian suburb of Les Mureaux. SNT.106636.13380 It had been hired by Aziz, a French company that provides buses to tourists and small traders heading between France and Morocco. SNT.106636.13381 Media images show the vehicle's front end stuck several feet up the pillar, with the roof trapped against the top of the bridge it supported by the pillar. SNT.106636.13382 The entire wreck is left leaning at about a forty degree angle back towards the road, and has left the road at a fairly steep angle directly into the pillar. SNT.106636.13383 The remains of a trailer it was towing can be seen still attached at the rear of the coach. SNT.106636.13384 Transport Minister Dominique Bussereau, who visited the scene shortly after the accident, said that The incredible state of the bus showed that the impact was extremely violent. SNT.106636.13385 The pictures showed the bus was in the livery of travel company Labat. SNT.106636.13386 The French Interior Ministry took the rare step of activating an emergency plan to ensure rapid response from large numbers of rescuers and resources. SNT.106636.13387 The scene was attended by four helicopters, 140 firefighters and 25 police officers, who had to free multiple victims from the wreck. SNT.106636.13388 Six died immediately, and the seventh victim died shortly afterwards. SNT.106636.13389 All the deceased were adults, and included one of the two drivers, the other of whom was seriously injured. SNT.106636.13390 Investigators believe no other vehicles were involved, but the exact circumstances remain unclear. SNT.106636.13391 Is this linked to a mechanical problem, drowsiness or a totally different cause? Bussereau said at the scene. SNT.106636.13392 His ministry's accident investigation bureau will conduct a major investigation inquiry, and a separate investigation will be launched by local prosecuters. SNT.106636.13393 One possible cause is that the driver fell asleep at the wheel. SNT.106636.13394 Investigators are also examining the bus to try to determine any sign of mechanical trouble. SNT.106636.13395 There was good weather in the region of the town of Suevres, where the accident occurred, and very little traffic was using the road at the time, thought to be around 2.50am (0050 GMT). SNT.106636.13396 Morocco's King Mohammed VI has announced he will personally pay for care of the injured and repatriation of those killed. SNT.106636.13397 He also asked the ambassador to France to pass on his condolences. SNT.110989.13398 American celebutante and businesswoman Paris Hilton has bashed a recent presidential campaign ad by 2008 U.S. presidential hopeful John McCain in which he compared his rival Barack Obama to celebrities such as Hilton and Britney Spears. SNT.110989.13399 In McCain's TV ad, it was stated that Obama was the biggest celebrity in the world. SNT.110989.13400 Hilton recorded and uploaded a video to comedy website Funny or Die, in which she mocked McCain by calling him a wrinkly white-haired guy. SNT.110989.13401 I am Paris Hilton, and I am a celebrity too, she states at the beginning of the video, but not before images of the Star Wars character Yoda and the cast of The Golden Girls are paraded across the screen apparently comparing the characters to McCain. SNT.110989.13402 Only I am not from the olden days, and I am not promising change like 'that other guy'. SNT.110989.13403 I'm just hot, remarked Hilton, adding, I guess I am running for president, since McCain's TV ad showed her. SNT.110989.13404 McCain's advertisement, released early this week, states, Is the biggest celebrity in the world ready to help your family? SNT.110989.13404-2 According to the Boston Globe and video displayed on its website, the narrator then points out that the real Obama promises higher taxes, more government spending. SNT.110989.13405 Bill Burton, a spokesman for Obama, responded to the ad: SNT.110989.13405-2 Is the biggest proponent of George Bush’s tired, failed policies ready to bring about change? SNT.110989.13405-3 Another day brings another dishonest attack from John McCain. SNT.110989.13406 While Senator McCain knows that Senator Obama has proposed cutting taxes for 95% of American families, what he’s not telling us is that he wants to give $4 billion in tax breaks to the oil companies, continue giving tax breaks to corporations that ship our job overseas, and provide no direct tax relief for more than 100 million middle-class families. SNT.110989.13407 Hilton appears in good spirits in her video and even thanks McCain for endorsing her. SNT.110989.13408 And I want America to know, that I am like totally ready to lead.
