BODIES RECOVERED FROM AIR FRANCE IN ATLANTIC.

Seventeen bodies recovered from a remote part of the Atlantic where an Air France jet came down a week ago were being transported by ship Monday to this Brazilian archipelago.
Those remains, and dozens of structural components from the plane also plucked from the waves, were expected to arrive in Fernando de Noronha on Tuesday.
From the archipelago, the bodies would be flown to the mainland coastal city of Recife for identification using dental records and DNA from relatives, air force spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Henry Munhoz told reporters late Sunday in Recife.

DAYCARE FIRE IN MEXICO,35 DEATH.

The death toll from a fire at a daycare center in northern Mexico rose to 35 children with another 40 or more hospitalized, many in extremely grave condition, the government said on Saturday. As flames blocked the center's doorway, employees and neighbors used cars to punch holes through a wall and stumbled over unconscious infants and toddlers as they tried to rescue them. Smoke inhalation killed many children, who ranged in age from a few months to about 3 years old, before rescuers could reach them, authorities say. Injured children were being flown to the Shriners children's hospital in Sacramento, California, which specializes in burns, an official at the hospital told Reuters. In less serious condition, six adults, presumably daycare employees, were also in hospitalized in Hermosillo. More than 140 children were in the ABC daycare center when the fire broke out, said Daniel Karam, head of Mexico's social security institute. It was unclear where or how the fire started, although it may have broken out in a nearby warehouse or a tire shop. "I have ordered the attorney general, along with local authorities ... to investigate as soon as possible to find out exactly what happened and identify whoever may be responsible," Calderon said. The president said he was rushing medical assistance to overwhelmed medical staff in Hermosillo, including air ambulances and specialists in reconstructive surgery. The government earlier said 31 children were dead, but four died in the hospital overnight.

BODIES FOUND FROM AIR FRANCE CRASH IN ATLANTIC.

Brazilian search crews on Saturday retrieved the first bodies from a crashed Air France flight in the Atlantic, and the plane's maker said it had detected faulty speed readings on the same type of jets. Navy ships found the bodies of two men and debris including a blue seat with a serial number matching Air France flight 447, a rucksack containing a vaccination card, and a briefcase with an Air France ticket inside, rescue officials said. "This morning at 8:14 a.m., we confirmed the rescue from the water of pieces and bodies that belonged to the Air France flight," air force spokesman Jorge Amaral told reporters in the northeastern city of Recife. Brazilian air force planes and navy ships have been scouring a swathe of the Atlantic about 1,100 km (683 miles) northeast of Brazil's coast since the Airbus A330-200 plane disappeared on Monday, killing all 228 people on board. The crash of the flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris was the world's deadliest air disaster since 2001 and the worst in Air France's 75-year history. Fears have grown that many bodies sank or were devoured by sharks. Theories about the crash have focused on the possibility that airspeed sensors malfunctioned, leading the pilots to set the wrong speed as the plane passed through storms. French air investigators said on Saturday that Airbus had detected faulty speed readings on its A330 jets ahead of last week's crash and had recommended clients replace a sensor. The head of France's air accident agency (BEA) said in a news conference that it was too soon to say if problems with the pressure-based speed sensors were in any way responsible for the disaster. "Some of the sensors (on the A330) were earmarked to be changed ... but that does not mean that without these replacement parts, the (Air France) plane would have been defective," BEA chief Paul-Louis Arslanian said. Airbus confirmed it issued a bulletin asking the plane's 50 or so airline operators to consider changing the speed sensors, known as Pitot tubes, but it said it was an optional measure to improve performance and not related to safety. The date of the bulletin was not immediately clear, and an Air France spokesman said he did not yet know whether the sensors had been changed on the stricken jet.

JEWES ARE NOT FREEZE THE SETTLEMENTS IN WEST BANK.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that Israel would continue to build within Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, defying US President Barack Obama's call for a freeze. But in a nod to Washington three days before Obama addresses the Muslim world from Egypt, Israel moved against one of the dozens of outposts settlers have erected without authorisation, removing three caravans near the Palestinian city of Nablus. Speaking to parliament's Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee in Jerusalem, Netanyahu called for "reason and logic" in dealing with settlements in the West Bank, territory Israel captured in a 1967 war. Obama has called for a full settlement freeze, under a 2003 peace "road map" that also obliges Palestinians to rein in militants. The World Court has described all Israeli settlements on occupied land as illegal. "You can't freeze life" in the settlements, an Israeli official quoted Netanyahu as telling the committee in comments that echoed statements the prime minister made last week. "Freezing life would not be reasonable." Netanyahu has said construction has to go on in settlements to accommodate the "natural growth" of families who live there. The road map's construction freeze also applies to "natural growth". He has proposed that Obama accept understandings Israel reached with former president George W. Bush allowing building within existing settlement blocs while barring Israel from building new settlements and expropriating more Palestinian lands, officials said.

SOUTH ASAIN HUNGER AND HOW TO STOP IT.

The hunger of this south Asia can't stop. From the Mugal period to till now. Hunger is the main problen to devlop in South Asia. British are leave this South Asia 62 years ago.The number of hungry people in South Asia has jumped by 100 million in the past two years, aggravated by high food and fuel prices and the global economic slowdown, a UN report said on Tuesday. It names the worst affected countries as Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan. More than 400 million people are now chronically hungry in South Asia, the region's highest level in 40 years, the report said, adding calorie intake has remained stagnant or fallen in many countries despite rising per capita incomes. More than 1.18 billion people, or three quarters of the region's population, survive on less than $2 a day, the report said. Nearly half of children under five are malnourished, the worst level in the world including Sub-Saharan Africa. "We are on the verge of a crisis," Aniruddha Bonnerjee, a consultant for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), told reporters in New Delhi after releasing the report. The region shed millions of jobs since the financial crisis hit, especially in the export sector as global demand fell. The report covered Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. High prices have forced the poorest families in the region, who spend the bulk of their income on food, to cut back on other essentials such as health and education and borrow money at high interest, the report said. That makes the poor more vulnerable to future shocks and dents their prospects of lifting themselves out of poverty, especially neglected groups such as women and children. "The potential loss of capacity and productivity amongst a generation of children and young adults ... should be of major concern to countries dependent on an able energetic and young population to fuel economic growth and future prosperity," the report said. The slowdown has also hit industries such as tourism in South Asia and remittances sent from more developed countries. India's economy, the region's biggest, which grew at around 9 percent a year in the recent boom, is seen to slow to about 6 percent in 2009/10. Countries such as India did not make use of the good years to tackle poverty and hunger, UNICEF said. "We are in the midst of a recession," Bonnerjee said. "When you had growth rates of eight, nine and in some cases 15, 16 percent, we made no progress on malnutrition, on hunger, on including women and children in the society. How are we going to do it now?"

THE PESHAWER NOW FIRE BOLL,GUN BSTTLE,BOMBS...

Two bombs exploded on in a market in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar on Thursday, killing six people, and gunmen on rooftops ambushed police as they arrived at the scene, officials and witnesses said. The attack came hours after the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for Wednesday's suicide car-bomb and gun attack in the eastern city of Lahore that killed 24 people, saying it was in revenge for an army offensive in the Swat region. Militant violence in nuclear-armed Pakistan, an important U.S. ally, has surged since mid-2007, with numerous attacks on the security forces, as well as on government and Western targets, and the Taliban on Thursday threatened more violence. The bombs were planted on motorbikes and went off in the Storytellers Bazaar in Peshawar's old city causing extensive damage. Six people were killed and about 70 wounded, provincial government minister Bashir Ahmed Bilour told Reuters. Soon afterwards, gunmen on rooftops began firing at police in the narrow lanes below. Television showed pictures of policemen firing back while colleagues strapped on bullet-proof vests. Police later said two gunmen had been killed and two suspects detained. "Two terrorists have been killed but the operation is continuing. We're carrying out searches as others could be hiding," city police chief Sifwat Ghayyur told reporters.

USA TROOPS'LL BE BACK HIS COUNTRY 2012.

The United States could have fighting forces in Iraq and Afghanistan for a decade, the top Army officer said, even though a signed agreement requires all U.S. forces to be out of Iraq by 2012,Gen. George Casey, Army chief of staff, said Tuesday his planning envisions combat troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for a decade as part of a sustained U.S. commitment to fighting extremism and terrorism in the Middle East."Global trends are pushing in the wrong direction," Casey said. "They fundamentally will change how the Army works."He spoke at an invitation-only briefing to a dozen journalists and policy analysts from Washington-based think-tanks.Casey''s calculations about force levels are related to his attempt to ease the brutal deployment calendar that he said would "bring the Army to its knees."Casey would not specify how combat units would be divided between Iraq and Afghanistan. He said U.S. ground commander Gen. Ray Odierno is leading a study to determine how far U.S. forces could be cut back in Iraq and still be effective. Casey said his comments about the long war in Iraq were not meant to conflict with administration policies.President Barack Obama plans to bring U.S. combat forces home from Iraq in 2010, and the United States and Iraq have agreed that all U.S. forces would leave by 2012. Although several senior U.S. officials have suggested Iraq could request an extension, the legal agreement the two countries signed last year would have to be amended for any significant U.S. presence to remain.As recently as February, Defense Secretary Robert Gates repeated U.S. commitment to the agreement worked out with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki."Under the Status of Forces Agreement with the Iraqi government, I intend to remove all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of 2011," Gates said during an address at Camp Lejeune. "We will complete this transition to Iraqi responsibility, and we will bring our troops home with the honor that they have earned."The United States has about 139,000 troops in Iraq and 52,000 in Afghanistan.Obama campaigned on ending the Iraq war as quickly as possible and refocusing U.S. resources on what he called the more important fight in Afghanistan.That will not mean a major influx of U.S. fighting forces on the model of the Iraq "surge," however. Obama has agreed to send about 21,000 combat forces and trainers to Afghanistan this year. Combined with additional forces approved before President George W. Bush left office, the United States is expected to have about 68,000 troops in Afghanistan by the end of this year. That''s about double the total at the end of 2008, but Obama''s top military and civilian advisers have indicated the total is unlikely to grow much beyond that.Casey said several times that he wasn''t the person making policy, but the military was preparing to have a fighting force deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan for years to come. Casey said his planning envisions 10 combat brigades plus command and support forces committed to the two wars.When asked whether the Army had any measurement for knowing how big it should be, Casey responded, "How about the reality scenario?"The reality scenario, he said, must take into account that "we''re going to have 10 Army and Marine units deployed for a decade in Iraq and Afghanistan."Casey stressed that the United States must be ready to take on sustained fights in the Middle East while meeting its other commitments.He reiterated statements made by civilian and military leaders that the situation in Afghanistan would get worse before it gets better. "There''s going to be a big fight in the south," he said.Casey added that training of local police and military in Afghanistan was at least a couple years behind the pace in Iraq, and it would be months before the U.S. deployed enough trainers. There''s a steeper curve before training could be effective in Afghanistan, requiring three to five years before Afghanis could reach the "tipping point" of control. He also said the U.S. had to be careful about what assets get deployed to Afghanistan. "Anything you put in there would be in there for a decade." As Army chief of staff, Casey is primarily responsible for assembling the manpower and determining assignments. He insisted the Army''s 1.1-million size was sufficient even to handle the extended Mideast conflicts. "We ought to build a pretty effective Army with 1.1 million strength," Casey said. He also noted that the Army''s budget had grown to $220 billion from $68 billion before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. He said the Army is two-thirds of the way through a complete overhaul from the Cold War-era force built around tanks and artillery to today''s terrorist-driven realities. The Army has become more versatile and quicker by switching from division-led units to brigade-level command. Casey said the Army has moved from 15-month battlefield deployments to 12 months. His goal is to move rotations by 2011 to one year in the battlefield and two years out for regular Army troops and one year in the battlefield and three years out for reserves. He called the current one-year-in-one-year-out cycle "unsustainable."

N.KOREA SHOWS THUMB TO WORLD!N.KOREA TEST NUCLEAR BOMB.

North Korea's second underground nuclear test has shown the world that it's only a matter of time before the secretive regime develops the ability to mount an atomic weapon on a missile, analysts say.Monday's blast - by all accounts larger than its first one in 2006 - indicates the impoverished country will keep using nuclear development in efforts to bolster its regime and raise its stature against its main perceived adversary, the United States. The test has also raised fears of increased proliferation.North Korea's defiance in carrying out the explosion, which followed its first test in October 2006 that resulted in censure and sanctions by the United Nations, has met widespread condemnation and cast more doubt over prospects for stalled talks aimed at the country's denuclearization.President Barack Obama said the blast and North Korea's test firings of short-range missiles off its coast "pose a grave threat to the peace and security of the world," while the North responded Tuesday by launching more missiles. And on Wednesday, the North warned South Korea that its decision to participate in a U.S.-led program to intercept ships suspected of carrying weapons of mass destruction is equal to a declaration of war.North Korea is believed to have processed enough plutonium over the years for at least a half dozen nuclear bombs.That is paltry compared to the massive arsenals of nuclear powers such as the United States, Russia and China or even newer members of the atomic club like Pakistan.Still, North Korea is making measurable progress and showing its determination to posses a credible enough threat to protect its regime, and is unlikely to back down anytime soon given its increasingly strident tone on the world stage.The North is now "more of a threat because they have more data and information about their bomb design," said Daniel Pinkston, a Seoul-based analyst for the International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based think tank devoted to conflict resolution. "They're demonstrating this decisiveness."The size of the explosion is still under debate and will require more analysis to determine. Initial estimates have ranged from a few kilotons to a Russian figure of between 10 kilotons and 20 kilotons.The latter range, considered way too high by analysts including Pinkston and David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security in Washington, would be comparable to the U.S. weapons that destroyed the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.Evidence suggests North Korea's ultimate goal is to mount a nuclear warhead on a missile, but analysts vary in their assessment of how close the country is to achieving that objective."It's a weapons program aimed at putting something on a missile to create a credible deterrent," Albright said. He said he thinks North Korea has the ability to mount a weapon now, though he added that questions remain about how reliable it would be.Yoon Deok-min, a professor at South Korea's state-run Institute of Foreign Affairs and National Security, said North Korea appears to still be in the process of mastering the miniaturization technology required to place a warhead on a missile, though he called its ultimate success just "a matter of time."He said its development of a nuclear-tipped missile is the "worst case" security scenario, noting the country has already deployed intermediate-range ballistic missiles that can travel as far as 1,860 miles (3,000 kilometers). That would easily put South Korea and Japan into range and almost reach the U.S. island of Guam.

THE DAVIL OF LANKA WAS GONE UP.

Sri Lankans wave the national flag in Colombo yesterday as they celebrate their country's military victory over the Tamil Tigers.Sri Lanka's military declared a final victory yesterday in its decades-old conflict with the Tamil Tigers, after routing the remnants of the rebel army and killing its leader Velupillai Prabhakaran.The army said its commandos had overrun the last sliver of Tiger territory, killing the last 300 davil and decimating the rebel leadership. It said Prabhakaran(Raban) and two deputies tried to flee in a van, but were shot dead."All military operations have come to a stop," army chief Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka announced."Now the entire country is declared rid of terrorism," Fonseka said, adding the "dead bodies of terrorists are scattered over the last ditch."His statement marked the end of one of Asia's oldest and most brutal ethnic conflicts which left more than 70,000 dead from pitched battles, suicide attacks, bomb strikes and assassinations.The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) emerged in the 1970s, with all-out war breaking out in the early 1980s as they pursued their struggle for an independent Tamil homeland on the Sinhalese-majority island.Officials said all rebel leaders were now dead.A senior defence ministry official told AFP that Prabhakaran and his two deputies had tried to flee advancing troops in an ambulance and another van but were ambushed by commandos."He was killed with two others inside the vehicle," the official said.State television and the office of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse confirmed the news, and a formal announcement of his death was expected to be made at 1230 GMT.The defence ministry said troops also killed Prabhakaran's deputies -- Sea Tiger leader Colonel Soosai and LTTE intelligence chief Pottu Amman.Also killed were the rebel leader's 24-year-old son Charles Anthony, the group's political wing leader B Nadesan, and the head of the LTTE's defunct Peace Secretariat, S Pulideevan.The pro-rebel Tamilnet website said the LTTE leadership had appealed to the Red Cross to be evacuated, and that "initial reports indicate a determined massacre by the Sri Lanka Army."In a dramatic announcement, the Tamil guerrillas had acknowledged Sunday that their battle for an independent ethnic homeland had reached its "bitter end" -- signalling Asia's longest running civil war was all but over.The separatist rebels were once one of the world's most feared guerrilla armies, and ran a de facto mini-state spanning a third of the island before the government began a major offensive two years ago.A last gasp appeal for peace talks -- rather than a surrender -- was flatly rejected by the government, and the defence ministry sent in troops with a brief to capture "every inch of land" for the first time in decades of war.The capital Colombo, which has been frequently hit by Tiger suicide attacks over the past quarter century, saw street celebrations -- with residents setting off firecrackers and waving flags."This is a victory against terrorism. I am very proud of our forces, of what they have done," said Ashani de Silva, a Colombo student, as national flags were put up over shops, homes, offices and cars.Victory euphoria also gripped Sri Lanka's stock exchange, with the main index jumping 6.45 percent.Authorities had been determined to capture, kill or recover Prabhakaran's body amid fears his escape could have led to an attempt to rebuild the LTTE and usher in a new cycle of violence.The Sri Lankan government's moment of triumph has also come at the cost of thousands of innocent lives lost in indiscriminate shelling, according to the United Nations. The UN's rights body now wants a war crimes probe.The International Committee of the Red Cross, the only neutral organisation that has been allowed to work in the war zone, has for its part described "an unimaginable humanitarian catastrophe."The European Union on Monday also called for an independent enquiry into alleged human rights violations, saying it was "appalled by the loss of innocent civilian lives as a result of the conflict and by the high numbers of casualties, including children."The estimated 250,000 people displaced by the war are being moved into state-run "welfare villages" -- camps ringed by barbed wire and another source of international alarm.Rights workers, aid groups and journalists are also being denied free access to the north.

WHERE IS DEMOCRACY?

Police clamped tight security on Myanmar's Insein Central Prison on Monday where opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi faces trial on charges that could jail the Nobel Peace laureate for up to five years.The military regime has ignored international outrage at what outside groups call trumped up charges against Suu Kyi, accused of breaking the conditions of her house arrest set to expire on May 27 after six years of detention.Armed police manned barricades on the road outside the prison in Yangon, where dissidents have called for "silent rallies" until Suu Kyi is freed. The area was calm early on Monday.Former student demonstrators and monks involved in 2007 street protests crushed by the military said in a joint statement they will "oppose this latest atrocity using any means until Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is freed".The American intruder who triggered the case against Suu Kyi and her two female companions by sneaking into her lakeside villa in Yangon, is also expected to stand trial on several charges.If convicted, Suu Kyi faces 3 to 5 years in jail.Her lawyer, Kyi Win, said the 63-year-old was "quite well" after being treated for low blood pressure and dehydration before she was charged last Thursday."She is ready to tell the truth that she never broke the law," he said after being allowed to meet Suu Kyi for one hour at her prison guest house on Saturday.
