USA: NASA MAY EXTEND SPACE SHUTTLE'S STAY IN ORBIT FOR EXTRA DAY
English/Nat
Mission Controllers at NASA may decide to lengthen the American Shuttle's stay in orbit for an extra
day.
Earlier in the flight the crew of Atlantis had problems assembling an exercise treadmill to be used on the international space station being built later
this year.
The shuttle is currently docked to the Russian space station "Mir" where it picked up one America astronaut and dropped off h
is replacement.
The crew of the American Space Shuttle and Russian Space Station "Mir" say their goodbyes as the Atlantis prepares
to return to earth.
The U-S astronaut John Blaha who has been on board the Mir for four-months - and is being replac
ed by Dr. Jerry Linenger.
But NASA may force Blaha to stay in space for an extra day as experiments on exercise e
quipment haven't gone to plan.
The equipment will be needed on the planned international space station to help space travellers fight the typical loss of bone
and muscle mass in weightlessness.
As astronauts on the Atlantis prepare to undock from the "Mir" on Sunday night they're planning to squeeze in time on the
treadmill to gather the necessary data.
If all go

A huge crowd of opposition supporters greeted the inauguration of Bulgaria's new president Sunday, as protests co
ntinue against the country's socialist government.
Petar Stoyanov became Bulgaria's second democratical
ly elected head of state in a brief ceremony inside Parliament but then joined an opposition rally outside the cathedral.
Bulgaria
's capital Sofia has been rocked by almost two weeks of protest rallies calling for new elections.
An estimated
forty thousand people filled the square in front of Sofia's Saint Alexander Nevski cathedral to welcome the new pr
esident.
Petar Stoyanov overwhelmingly won last November's elections as the candidate of the anti-Socialist opposition front.
On Sunday he
- and his deputy Todor Kavaldziev - were sworn in front of a Parliament driven by political conflict.
For the past 13 days - tens of thousands of protesters have rallied in Sofia and othe
r cities across the country demanding a change of government.
But opposition deputies suspended their boycott of the legislature for the occasion and sat together with membe
rs of the Socialist Party, former Communists, whom they want to oust from power.
The Socialists have led five of seven governments in B
ulgaria since 1989 and been widely blamed for Bulg
aria's economic misery - annual inflation is running at over 300 percent.
Stoyanov will have a tough task ahead if he
is to turn the country around - but he has something
the government does not - popular support.

An American millionaire's dream of being the first b
alloonist to circumnavigate the globe looks set to be thwarted.
Steve Fossett is expected to land either in India or Bangladesh around 0700 GMT Monday
.
The trip that began in St. Louis six days ago was cut short due to fuel shortage.
The balloonist may not have achieved his ambition but h
e has made the record books by flying twice as far as anyone else in a balloon.
The daring balloon attempt by a 52-year-old securities trader looks set to finish in failure Monday despite having set new records for
distance and duration.
Steve Fossett's dream of being the first balloonist to travel a
round the world non-stop was thwarted after six days due to s
hort supplies of fuel.
Fossett - who lifted off in his silve
r-coloured Solo Spirit balloon from Busch Stadium in St. Louis on
Monda
y night - was forced to use up fuel stocks after he was initially refused permission to cross Libyan airspace.
It is anticipated that Fossett will land along the east coast of India, south of Calcutta.
Floating at 20,000 fe
et above India on Sunday, Fossett and his
supporters back in the Midwest plotted a landing before he began
passing over the rugged mountains of Southeast Asia or the Pacific
>Ocean.
" If he's thinking proper, he'll realise that he's gonna drift towards up into the Himalayas, and he'll want to try to land as soon as he can just before or just after sunrise before he gets any closer to the Himalayan mountains."
SUPERCAPTION: Bo Kemper Member of support team
Fossett already has far eclipsed his own distance ballooning record, 5,435 miles (8,746 kilometres) on a 1995 flight from Seoul, Korea, to
Canada.
"You have to remember this has never been done. Steve's just gone half way around the world. The other two teams that have ever tried this went at the most 4-hund
red miles. Steve's gone over 7-thousand miles. He's b
een travelling up to five miles above the earth. I mean this
is an unbelievable physical feat. Technologically it s
hows that we can do it. And I think the thing th
at people have to remember is that we've had tremendous co
mpeti
tion from the Swiss and the English. An American has brok
en the record and will probably have his name on two of
the three most prest
igious titles in aviation."
SUPERCAPTION: Bo Kemper, Member of the support team
The American planned to stay aloft until early Monday so he'd
beat not only a world dist
ance record for ballooning but
also the record for longest time spent in the air.
By noon Saturday, Foss
ett had travelled 9,600 miles (15,500
km) .
Insid
e the cabin, temperat
ures ranged from zero degrees to
10 degrees F (-18 C to -12 C
); o
utside it was 30 to 50 F
below (-35 to -45 C).
Fossett's ca
bin heaters don't operate in the oxygen-starved altitudes above 24,000 feet (7,315 m), and he is expected to capitalise on the strong winds above that great height all day.
But at night,
Fossett planned to drop to about 18,000 feet (5,500 m) in order to get the heaters working again.
The physical strain on Fossett was als
o cited as a reason
to abort the mission.
The millionaire failed his first round-the-world attempt one year
ago.
His current adventure was the third transglobal a
ttempt this year.

Thousands of opposition supporters gathered on Sunday in Belgrade as their protests continued into their 61st successive day,
As police again blocked streets around
the main city square, many brought their dogs along for the walk, mocking police containment of the demonstrations to pedestrian zones.
Oppositio

It was the dogs day out in Serbia Sunday, as demonstrators brought canine pets to the 61st consecutive d

10 thousand protesters gathered in the centre of Belgrade, some clutching stuffed animals, doing their best to comply with the protest organisers' request that the theme of the day's protest be dogs.
The protest mocked the police containment of the demonstrators in
a pedestrian zone, the slogan for the day: 'If we can't walk,
let's walk our dogs.'
As opposition leader Zoran Djindjic was securing the suppo

At the
second day of Paris's premiere haute couture fashion event Sunday - it was Olivier
Lapidus and Torrente's turn to show off their wares.
The feature of Lapidus's show was his choice
of "bio-fibres" - fabrics extracted from vegetables, fruits and flowers.
Over the next week
some of the world's top designers will exhibit at the event organised by the Chambre
Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne.
When Olivier Lapidus's designs took centre stage at the spring/
summer haute couture fashion event in Paris Sunday - all
talk was about his choice in fabrics.
The designer had chosen to work
with "bio-fibres" - extracted from vegetables, fru
its and flowers.
Early in the show a model appeared on the catwalk dressed in a shirt with real flowers.
37 yea
r old Olivier Lapidus, son of Ted, has proven to be experimental in the pa
st.
The youngest of the French high fashion designers - l
ast July Lapidus unv
eiled a solar energy garment.
The Lapidus motto - research enables industry to advance and industry helps fashion to progress.
Lapidus would like to turn the European agricultural surplus into a range of textiles.
One of the most beautiful of the Lapidus creations was the red evening dress modelled later in the show.
This gown was made with silk, grape vine and blackcurrant.
And then came the wedding gown - traditionally a designer's show stopper.
The
gown was modelled by Olivier Lapidus's fiancee.
The designer joined her on the catwalk to receive his applause - she will wear the bridal gown at their March wedding
.
Backstage there was congratulations for the innovative Lapidus collection.<
br/>The young designer explained his philosophy on haute couture.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Haute Couture for me is a labor
atory. It is not only the past, it is not only the history, the museum if you want, it is not only naked women wit
h you know many embroideries. Haute couture has to be alive. Haute couture has to bring something
to people and this is why I try to mak
e new things in haute couture. And th
is time those fibres from roses from you know flowe
rs, fruit, vegetable, whatever -
they are going to give ma
ybe 300 new fibres in the normal textile field
."

The theme of the
Torrente spring summer haute couture collection was "distant travels,

The philosophy behind these des
igns - fashion which is simple, pure and
rhythmic.
The models show

cktail dresses
and suits with slim fitted
coats and straight cut double breasted jackets.
Madam

Palestinian lea
der Yasser Arafat has arrived in Hebron to the cheers of more than 60- thousand jubilant Palestinians.
They are celebrating the Palestinian take-over of most of the city after
three decades of Israeli occupation.
Arafat said he hoped the
agreement on Hebron would be a step towards bringing a lasting peace to the rest of the Middle East - including Syria and Lebanon.
Before leaving for Hebron - in a triumphant return to the city he last saw
more than 30 years ago - Yasser Arafat inspected
a guard of honour in Ramallah.
His helicopter then whisked him off to the city whose fu
ture he's spent so many months negotiating.
He landed just outside the former Israeli m
ilitary headquarters where Palestinian activists
were jailed during Israeli rule. The building will now serve as the Palestinian police H.Q..
As he was driven from the landing pad to the building, Arafat threw
kisses to the crowd which was chanting "Long live Palesti
ne" and "
Long live Arafat."
He told the crowd of more than 6
0-thousand people that Hebron is a "liberated city
" but
he said Palestinian
s don't want confr
ontation with the Jewish settlers - they want peace.
He also said peace must now spread to the
rest of the Middle East.
"But (I call fo

only in Egypt, and Jordan an
d Palestine but also
in Syria and Lebanon so th
at peace is just and c
omprehensive and lasting in the whol

As the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat arrived in Hebron for the first time in nearly three decades, Jewish settler
s are still angry that the city has been handed back to the Palestinians.
Arafat's government
took control of 80
percent of Hebron on Friday after months of negotiations with the hard-line government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
As thousands of Palestinians gave their leader Yasser Arafat a hero's welcome into Hebron, the mood in the Jewish sector was much more sombre.
The people of H2 - as the
20 percent of Hebron remaining under Israeli control will
be known - were not celebrating.
This area in the heart of the city is home to about 5
00 Jewish settlers and about 15-thousand Palestinians and is heavily guarded by Israeli police.
The settlers say they will not give up their fi
ght for Hebron which is considered holy to both Jews and Muslim
s.

settlers - attitudes remained unchanged
and Arafat's visit was not welcomed.
A settlers' spokesman said i
t was a desecration to allow their "arch enemy" Arafat into the city.

"The Isr

The potential difficulties of life under the new regime are still yet to be fully realised.
The dividing line between H1 - the Palestinian controlled part of Hebron
and H2 - the Israeli controlled sector - has been kept deliberately vague.
Israeli army commanders said the vaguenes
s was intentional - to
avoid cutting the town
in two and to permit free movement.
But new checkpoints have sprung up on either side and there are fears a new "Berlin" may have been created - a city divided by imaginar

South Africa has one of the highest rates of rape in the world. It is estimated that a woman is
raped every 34 seconds.
And police believe many more cases go unreported.
Many believe crime and violence are getting out of control. They are calling for the gove
rnment to crack down on violent crimes and bring back the death penalty for rapists.
It's a crime that happens every day in South Africa.
Only a few rare cases, lik
e the recent plight of four Johannesburg teenager
s raped in their homes during two separate attacks in two weeks, hit the headlines nation-wide.
Groups of armed men broke into the victims' homes and tied up family members before robbing the houses and rapi
ng four girls aged from thirteen to twenty-four.
Eight suspects allegedly involved in the attacks appeared in court last week and were denied bail.
"He tied us all in the bedroom. Like he
told us to shut up. He doesn't want our lives, he just wants money. And then he said that I must get up so I got up. He took me to the
bathroom and he raped me. And he just left me there."
SUPERCAPTION: Fourteen-year-old rape victim
South Africa's Human Rights Com
mission last week revealed that over 31-thousand rapes were reported to police during the first half of last year.

The families of the recent Johannesburg rape victims organised a public meeting calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty, abolished in 1995 after the A-N-C won the country's
first democratic elections.
They launched a campaign named "Camelot" - Campaign Against Murderous Empowered Laws of Trea
son - calling on citizens to press for changes in legislation to crack down on rapists an
d child abusers.
They want to see men accused of rape be
ing denied bail, and those convicted, being surgically castrated within 24-hours of sentencing.
Their pleas are addressed to South A
frica's Justice Mini
ster, who is spearheading the move towards the creation of special "rape courts".
These courts will help magistrates and prosecutors deal more efficiently with the rape cases when they are separated
from the general case roll.
Magistrates will be required to ensure unfair cross-examination of rape victims is not carried out and that they are handled with com
passion.
New legislation to get tough on rapists is to be presented to South Africa's parliament in the first half of this year.
>"And our courts must send a signal to society that we are not prepared to tolerate this kind of crime. And therefore heavy sentences will have to be imposed."

Being security conscious has become
a way of life for women in South Africa. Those who can afford weapons learn how to use them. Shooting ranges around the country have many women members, and most offer shooting instructions for women.
Self-defence semin
ars and classes are also popular. During these sessions women are taught how to react when being attacked.
And how not to think like a victim, but to a
dopt a calm attitude during a violent attack.
Women feel threatened by the
ever increasing vi

Locking doors, checking
where and when you walk or whether you're being foll

About five hundred Sunni Muslim demonstrators set fire to an Iranian Cultural Centre in the Pakistani city of Lahor

>The leader of a prominent Sun

bomb in a motorcycle exploded outside
a courthouse.
Militant Sunnis have blamed Iran - wh

demanded the government sever its links with
Tehran.
There was still anger o
n the streets of Lahore as fire fighters put out the blaze
which had destroyed the Iranian Cultural Centre
.
A few demonstrators - a fraction of the number which had earlier attacked the building - threw pieces of debris at the authorities tackling the fire.
Also gutted in the blaze was the office of Pakistan's Senate Leader - Wa
sim Sajjad - which was next door.
The mob was acting in revenge for the killing of 25 people - including Zia-ur Rehman, a leader of a Sunni Muslim grou
p called the Guardians of the Friends of the Prophet.
They died when a motorcycle bomb exploded outside a court in the city.
Eight thousand people atten

Rehman and another leader - Azim Tariq - were at the Lahore Sessions Court for their trial
on murder charges - Tariq was seriously wounded.
Both the men Tariq and Rehman were ca
ndidates in next month's general elections, but after the bombing the authorities decided to postpone e
lections in Rehman's central Punjab constituency.
No-one has claimed respons

Sunni ra

bombing, a threat that has police worried about retaliatory attacks against

About 25-thousand demonstrators took to the streets of central Tirana Sunday, demanding that the government take responsibility for the money they lost in pyrami
d schemes.
Clashes broke out when police tried to push back protesters using batons and water canons.
Over half a million Albanians have
invested in these phoney investment schemes promising sky-high interest rates. Many have forfeited all their savings.
Demonstrators, backed by the opposition part
ies, blame the government for their losses.
Violence broke out in Albania Sunday as twenty-five thousand demonstrators rallied in the capital Tirana and several other cities.
They are calli
ng for the government to take responsibility for their losses following mass investments in fictitious companies.
Chants of ''down with dictatorship'' mingled with those demanding ''We want our money,'' as protesters in several cities battled police and lobbed stones at government buildings.
In Tirana riot police bl
ocked the streets leading into Skanderbeg Square.
Attempting to
push back the protesters, they beat their batons aga
inst their shields, but then charged
the demonstrators - several were injured.
Plainclothes officers stopped opposition party leaders trying to address the crowd - smashing their megaphones and beating them. Several people were thrown into police vans.
Rexhep Nejdani, the deputy chief of the Sociali
sts, suffered arm in
juries.
Supporters trying to shield the oppositio
n leaders were also clubbed by
police.
A wave of unrest has swept across Albania over the past week after two pyramid
schemes began to collapse.
An estimated 5-hundr
ed-thousand of Albania's three-point-two million citizens have invested money in scams involving fictitious investment companies and charities offering
double-digit interest rates.
As elsewhere in post-Communist eastern Europe, pyra
mid schemes have popped up in poverty-ridden Albania, offering sky-high interest rates to citizens with average monthly wages of sixt
y to eighty dollars.
Early investors made fortunes in the funds. But be
cause the schemes pay the fir
st investors with the money from later on
es, they require a steady stream
of new contributors.
Without th
at, they crumble - as in t
he case of two of Albania's 10 fu
nds that failed to pay out over the p
ast week, sparking
violent demonstrations
The demonstrations agai
nst the funds have quickly turned against the government, which investors blame for allo
wing the get-rich-quick schemes to operate i
n Albania.
Myfit Muro, from the southern port of Vlaro, sold his house and has invested
over 10- thousand dollars (10-
million leks) in a pyramid scheme. He's lost everything and now plans to emigrate to Italy.
The president must say if we will get the money or not. Why did the government allow three or four people to collect all the money of the Albanians
and cheat them? Where was the government and the president then? How could they operate without a licence? If I open a shop I need a licence. How could they operate without it?
The people have given the pr
esident their vote and he cheated them.

I used to work as a butcher in Italy. I have just come back
to Albania with 36 (m) million Italian liras (24-thousand dollars), which I deposited at Gjallica (one of the two fu
nds that went bust). I do not expect to get the money back. All the companies are c
ollapsing.
Q: What will you do?
I will emigrate again together with
my six brothers.
Q: Whom do you blame for this?
I do no
t know. We have remained like fish without water. All our money is now at Gjallica.

On Saturday, President Sali Berisha said the gove
rnment would offer jobs and bank credits to the people most affected by the investment
fund failures.
The government last week froze 255 (m) million dollars in assets of some of the funds.
Opposition leaders have accused some of the pyramid-scheme companies of having financed the Democrats' campaign
for the May elections.

Rebels had sent them onto the roof to arrange rebel banners on the side of the building.
The Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement
has accepted a government proposal for mediation by Canada's top envoy.
But there's no sign either side is ready to back down over th
e key issue of the status of 300 jailed guerrillas.
The rebels say it is the governme

Forty-seven C
anadian soldiers stand accused of sexual misconduct, drunkenness and other abuses in Bosnia.
The abuses allegedly
took place on a U-N Peacekeeping mission to protect a mental hospital in central Bosnia in 1993 and '94.
Physical abuse of
patients, excessive drinking and sex with interpreters and nurses -- are some of the charges being levied against the Cana
dian 12th Armored regiment.
Their army commander says the soldiers face disciplinary hearings that could end their military car
eers.
The Canadian 12th Armoured regiment was assigned to protect a mental hospital in Bakovici, Bosnia located in the war zone.
The regiment was part of the UN peacekeeping forces in Bosn
ia.
Until the accusation surfaced the mission had been depicted as heroic and successful.
A report
on the alleged abuses says the soldiers engaged in consensual sex with nurses at a mental hospital, bo
ught black-market al
cohol and abused patients.
Staff at the mental home in Bakovici have confirmed that the incidents took place.
But they claim they were in no position to do anythi
ng about it at the time because the country
was in the middle of
a civil war.

Original
ly 57 members of the Canadian 12th Armored regi
ment were named and
accused of committing various offences.
Ten of the soldi
ers left the army, leaving 47 soldiers still s
ubject to military discipline.
The soldiers were on a t
our in 1993 and 1994 in Bosnia.
During the conflict
the hospital was fo
r some time in the hands of the Croats and subsequently controlled by the Bosnian Serbs.
The report blames much of the wrongdoing on inexperienced leadership.

Santia

/>Leading artists from Chile and beyond have been given the task of smart
ening up the modern and efficient but otherwise drab metro .
Riding the metro in the Chilean capital has become something of a cultural experience.
Several stations have been transformed into temples of contemporary art.
This mural by Mario
Toral - Visual Memory of the Nation - is one of several that are delighting Santiago's commuters.
M
easuring more than 100 feet (30 metres) long and 60 feet (20 metres) wide, it's being
billed as Latin America's largest mural.
Completed last May, the enterprise too
k the internationally renowned painter and a team of ass
istants two years to execute.
The painter also hopes to complete a second segment of the same size which will narrate Chile's history after the Spanish conquest.
Mo
st recent of the works is "Tiles for Santiago" by Portuguese artist Rogerio Ribeiro which gra
ces the walls of Santa Lucia station and was inaugurated by the president of Portugal last November.
The work is composed of 44-thousand tiles depicting historical episodes common to both Portugal and
Spain.
Santiago's travelling public has contemplated the changes with a mixture of bemusement an

Specially trained dogs
have become an invaluable tool to emergency and rescue workers around the world
.
Their acute sense of smell has saved countless lives after avalanches or earthquakes.
For one dog in South Africa, sniffing out the cause of a fire is all in
a day's work.
Ti
lly has an uncanny ability to help arson investigators.
She's been highly successful and both Tilly and her trainer are no
w off to the United States to share their knowledge at an international police investigations' conferenc
e.
Eighteen months ago Tilly was trained by Inspector Kim Yates to become an arson investigator.
The idea of using dogs to sniff out flammable liquids at fire scenes fi
rst started in the United States, but Tilly has been such a success that she and her owner are off to teac
h American dogs new tricks.
After a fire has been put out, she sniffs through the debris, and lies down when she finds the cause.
Last year Tilly investigated two hundred and forty-two fires.
And of all the samples she identified, ninety percent tested positive for arson.
According to her trainer, she can sniff out a fraction of a millilitre of petrol in a building after a blaze.
She has been trained to distinguish between the petroleum released from burnt plastics and other petroleum based liquids used to start a fire.
Tilly's reputation for having one of the best noses in the fire investigation business has won her widespread acclaim.
Now, she along with her owner have been invited to the U-S to help train other dogs in her specialised skills.

Publishing houses from around 80 countries are taking part in the Cairo International Book Fair - the second largest in the world.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak opened the two week event which is expected to attract more than three (m) million visitors of all nationalities.
It's one of the Egyptian capital's biggest cultural events - The Cairo International Book Fair.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak inaugurated the 29th fair - the largest in the Middle East and the second largest in the world.
Mubarak and Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzoury toured one of the seven exhibition halls where state and private-run publishing houses from 80 countries are exhibiting.
They also met a number of foreign publishers.
The book fair continues for 13 days and is run by the Egyptian General Book Organisation.
Some four (m) million books are on display but there's also CD-roms and artistic and cultural activities such as literary seminars and poetry readings.
The fair is being held in the slower weeks of Ramadan.
The Nasser City Fair grounds are open all day except during sunset when Muslims go home to break their fast.
One exhibition that has already proved popular with visitors is the Greek stand.

A huge crowd of opposition supporters greeted the inauguration of Bulgaria's new president Sunday, as protests co
ntinue against the country's socialist government.
Petar Stoyanov became Bulgaria's second democratical
ly elected head of state in a brief ceremony inside Parliament but then joined an opposition rally outside the cathedral.
Bulgaria
's capital Sofia has been rocked by almost two weeks of protest rallies calling for new elections.
An estimated
forty thousand people filled the square in front of Sofia's Saint Alexander Nevski cathedral to welcome the new pr
esident.
Petar Stoyanov overwhelmingly won last November's elections as the candidate of the anti-Socialist opposition front.
On Sunday he
- and his deputy Todor Kavaldziev - were sworn in front of a Parliament driven by political conflict.
For the past 13 days - tens of thousands of protesters have rallied in Sofia and othe
r cities across the country demanding a change of government.
But opposition deputies suspended their boycott of the legislature for the occasion and sat together with membe
rs of the Socialist Party, former Communists, whom they want to oust from power.
The Socialists have led five of seven governments in B
ulgaria since 1989 and been widely blamed for Bulg
aria's economic misery - annual inflation is running at over 300 percent.
Stoyanov will have a tough task ahead if he
is to turn the country around - but he has something
the government does not - popular support.

An American millionaire's dream of being the first b
alloonist to circumnavigate the globe looks set to be thwarted.
Steve Fossett is expected to land either in India or Bangladesh around 0700 GMT Monday
.
The trip that began in St. Louis six days ago was cut short due to fuel shortage.
The balloonist may not have achieved his ambition but h
e has made the record books by flying twice as far as anyone else in a balloon.
The daring balloon attempt by a 52-year-old securities trader looks set to finish in failure Monday despite having set new records for
distance and duration.
Steve Fossett's dream of being the first balloonist to travel a
round the world non-stop was thwarted after six days due to s
hort supplies of fuel.
Fossett - who lifted off in his silve
r-coloured Solo Spirit balloon from Busch Stadium in St. Louis on
Monda
y night - was forced to use up fuel stocks after he was initially refused permission to cross Libyan airspace.
It is anticipated that Fossett will land along the east coast of India, south of Calcutta.
Floating at 20,000 fe
et above India on Sunday, Fossett and his
supporters back in the Midwest plotted a landing before he began
passing over the rugged mountains of Southeast Asia or the Pacific
>Ocean.
" If he's thinking proper, he'll realise that he's gonna drift towards up into the Himalayas, and he'll want to try to land as soon as he can just before or just after sunrise before he gets any closer to the Himalayan mountains."
SUPERCAPTION: Bo Kemper Member of support team
Fossett already has far eclipsed his own distance ballooning record, 5,435 miles (8,746 kilometres) on a 1995 flight from Seoul, Korea, to
Canada.
"You have to remember this has never been done. Steve's just gone half way around the world. The other two teams that have ever tried this went at the most 4-hund
red miles. Steve's gone over 7-thousand miles. He's b
een travelling up to five miles above the earth. I mean this
is an unbelievable physical feat. Technologically it s
hows that we can do it. And I think the thing th
at people have to remember is that we've had tremendous co
mpeti
tion from the Swiss and the English. An American has brok
en the record and will probably have his name on two of
the three most prest
igious titles in aviation."
SUPERCAPTION: Bo Kemper, Member of the support team
The American planned to stay aloft until early Monday so he'd
beat not only a world dist
ance record for ballooning but
also the record for longest time spent in the air.
By noon Saturday, Foss
ett had travelled 9,600 miles (15,500
km) .
Insid
e the cabin, temperat
ures ranged from zero degrees to
10 degrees F (-18 C to -12 C
); o
utside it was 30 to 50 F
below (-35 to -45 C).
Fossett's ca
bin heaters don't operate in the oxygen-starved altitudes above 24,000 feet (7,315 m), and he is expected to capitalise on the strong winds above that great height all day.
But at night,
Fossett planned to drop to about 18,000 feet (5,500 m) in order to get the heaters working again.
The physical strain on Fossett was als
o cited as a reason
to abort the mission.
The millionaire failed his first round-the-world attempt one year
ago.
His current adventure was the third transglobal a
ttempt this year.

At the
second day of Paris's premiere haute couture fashion event Sunday - it was Olivier
Lapidus and Torrente's turn to show off their wares.
The feature of Lapidus's show was his choice
of "bio-fibres" - fabrics extracted from vegetables, fruits and flowers.
Over the next week
some of the world's top designers will exhibit at the event organised by the Chambre
Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne.
When Olivier Lapidus's designs took centre stage at the spring/
summer haute couture fashion event in Paris Sunday - all
talk was about his choice in fabrics.
The designer had chosen to work
with "bio-fibres" - extracted from vegetables, fru
its and flowers.
Early in the show a model appeared on the catwalk dressed in a shirt with real flowers.
37 yea
r old Olivier Lapidus, son of Ted, has proven to be experimental in the pa
st.
The youngest of the French high fashion designers - l
ast July Lapidus unv
eiled a solar energy garment.
The Lapidus motto - research enables industry to advance and industry helps fashion to progress.
Lapidus would like to turn the European agricultural surplus into a range of textiles.
One of the most beautiful of the Lapidus creations was the red evening dress modelled later in the show.
This gown was made with silk, grape vine and blackcurrant.
And then came the wedding gown - traditionally a designer's show stopper.
The
gown was modelled by Olivier Lapidus's fiancee.
The designer joined her on the catwalk to receive his applause - she will wear the bridal gown at their March wedding
.
Backstage there was congratulations for the innovative Lapidus collection.<

SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Haute Couture for me is a labor
atory. It is not only the past, it is not only the history, the museum if you want, it is not only naked women wit

to people and this is why I try to mak

They are celebrating the Palestinian take-over of most of the city after
three decades of Israeli occupation.
Arafat said he hoped the
agreement on Hebron would be a step towards bringing a lasting peace to the rest of the Middle East - including Syria and Lebanon.
Before leaving for Hebron - in a triumphant return to the city he last saw
more than 30 years ago - Yasser Arafat inspected
a guard of honour in Ramallah.
His helicopter then whisked him off to the city whose fu
ture he's spent so many months negotiating.
He landed just outside the former Israeli m
ilitary headquarters where Palestinian activists
were jailed during Israeli rule. The building will now serve as the Palestinian police H.Q..
As he was driven from the landing pad to the building, Arafat threw
kisses to the crowd which was chanting "Long live Palesti
ne" and "
Long live Arafat."
He told the crowd of more than 6
0-thousand people that Hebron is a "liberated city
" but
he said Palestinian

ontation with the Jewish settlers - they want peace.
He also said peace must now spread to the
rest of the Middle East.
"But (I call fo

As the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat arrived in Hebron for the first time in nearly three decades, Jewish settler
s are still angry that the city has been handed back to the Palestinians.
Arafat's government
took control of 80
percent of Hebron on Friday after months of negotiations with the hard-line government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
As thousands of Palestinians gave their leader Yasser Arafat a hero's welcome into Hebron, the mood in the Jewish sector was much more sombre.
The people of H2 - as the
20 percent of Hebron remaining under Israeli control will
be known - were not celebrating.
This area in the heart of the city is home to about 5
00 Jewish settlers and about 15-thousand Palestinians and is heavily guarded by Israeli police.
The settlers say they will not give up their fi
ght for Hebron which is considered holy to both Jews and Muslim
s.

settlers - attitudes remained unchanged
and Arafat's visit was not welcomed.
A settlers' spokesman said i
t was a desecration to allow their "arch enemy" Arafat into the city.

"The Isr

so many Jewish men, women and children is des

SUPER CAPTION: David Wilder, Hebron Settlers' spokesperson
The potential difficulties of life under the new regime are still yet to be fully realised.
The dividing line between H1 - the Palestinian controlled part of Hebron
and H2 - the Israeli controlled sector - has been kept deliberately vague.
Israeli army commanders said the vaguenes
s was intentional - to
avoid cutting the town
in two and to permit free movement.
But new checkpoints have sprung up on either side and there are fears a new "Berlin" may have been created - a city divided by imaginar
y lines and centuries old hatreds.

South Africa has one of the highest rates of rape in the world. It is estimated that a woman is
raped every 34 seconds.
And police believe many more cases go unreported.
Many believe crime and violence are getting out of control. They are calling for the gove
rnment to crack down on violent crimes and bring back the death penalty for rapists.
It's a crime that happens every day in South Africa.
Only a few rare cases, lik
e the recent plight of four Johannesburg teenager
s raped in their homes during two separate attacks in two weeks, hit the headlines nation-wide.
Groups of armed men broke into the victims' homes and tied up family members before robbing the houses and rapi
ng four girls aged from thirteen to twenty-four.
Eight suspects allegedly involved in the attacks appeared in court last week and were denied bail.
"He tied us all in the bedroom. Like he
told us to shut up. He doesn't want our lives, he just wants money. And then he said that I must get up so I got up. He took me to the
bathroom and he raped me. And he just left me there."

South Africa's Human Rights Com
mission last week revealed that over 31-thousand rapes were reported to police during the first half of last year.
But the figure gives onl
y a partial idea of the tragedy - police believe only one in thirty- five cases of rape are reported.
For those who have suffered this cri
me, or who have to deal with family members victims of rape, pain and anger become a daily reality. But many have decided
to fight back.
''I would like to send a message to all rapists that your days are numbered. That you have messed with the wrong people. And that we can
fight back. This is it. This is it."

The families of the recent Johannesburg rape victims organised a public meeting calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty, abolished in 1995 after the A-N-C won the country's
first democratic elections.
They launched a campaign named "Camelot" - Campaign Against Murderous Empowered Laws of Trea
son - calling on citizens to press for changes in legislation to crack down on rapists an
d child abusers.
They want to see men accused of rape be
ing denied bail, and those convicted, being surgically castrated within 24-hours of sentencing.
Their pleas are addressed to South A
frica's Justice Mini
ster, who is spearheading the move towards the creation of special "rape courts".
These courts will help magistrates and prosecutors deal more efficiently with the rape cases when they are separated
from the general case roll.
Magistrates will be required to ensure unfair cross-examination of rape victims is not carried out and that they are handled with com
passion.
New legislation to get tough on rapists is to be presented to South Africa's parliament in the first half of this year.
>"And our courts must send a signal to society that we are not prepared to tolerate this kind of crime. And therefore heavy sentences will have to be imposed."

Being security conscious has become
a way of life for women in South Africa. Those who can afford weapons learn how to use them. Shooting ranges around the country have many women members, and most offer shooting instructions for women.
Self-defence semin
ars and classes are also popular. During these sessions women are taught how to react when being attacked.
And how not to think like a victim, but to a
dopt a calm attitude during a violent attack.
Women feel threatened by the
ever increasing vi
olent crimes.
Locking doors, checking
where and when you walk or whether you're being foll
owed is an everyday reality for women living in
South Africa.

About five hundred Sunni Muslim demonstrators set fire to an Iranian Cultural Centre in the Pakistani city of Lahor

amic leader in the city the day before.
>The leader of a prominent Sun
ni group was among 25 people killed when a
bomb in a motorcycle exploded outside
a courthouse.
Militant Sunnis have blamed Iran - wh
ich is predominantly Shi'ite - for the bomb attack and
demanded the government sever its links with
Tehran.
There was still anger o
n the streets of Lahore as fire fighters put out the blaze
which had destroyed the Iranian Cultural Centre
.
A few demonstrators - a fraction of the number which had earlier attacked the building - threw pieces of debris at the authorities tackling the fire.
Also gutted in the blaze was the office of Pakistan's Senate Leader - Wa
sim Sajjad - which was next door.
The mob was acting in revenge for the killing of 25 people - including Zia-ur Rehman, a leader of a Sunni Muslim grou
p called the Guardians of the Friends of the Prophet.
They died when a motorcycle bomb exploded outside a court in the city.
Eight thousand people atten
ded Rehman's funeral which was held in his hometown of Jhang, about 200 kilometres (125 mile) southwest of Lahore
.
Rehman and another leader - Azim Tariq - were at the Lahore Sessions Court for their trial
on murder charges - Tariq was seriously wounded.
Both the men Tariq and Rehman were ca
ndidates in next month's general elections, but after the bombing the authorities decided to postpone e
lections in Rehman's central Punjab constituency.
No-one has claimed respons
ibility for the bombing but the Guardians are blaming Pakistan's Shi'ite minority - saying they are backed by Iran.
Sunni ra
dicals have vowed to seek revenge for the
bombing, a threat that has police worried about retaliatory attacks against
Pakistan's minority Shiite Muslims

About 25-thousand demonstrators took to the streets of central Tirana Sunday, demanding that the government take responsibility for the money they lost in pyrami
d schemes.
Clashes broke out when police tried to push back protesters using batons and water canons.
Over half a million Albanians have
invested in these phoney investment schemes promising sky-high interest rates. Many have forfeited all their savings.
Demonstrators, backed by the opposition part
ies, blame the government for their losses.
Violence broke out in Albania Sunday as twenty-five thousand demonstrators rallied in the capital Tirana and several other cities.
They are calli
ng for the government to take responsibility for their losses following mass investments in fictitious companies.
Chants of ''down with dictatorship'' mingled with those demanding ''We want our money,'' as protesters in several cities battled police and lobbed stones at government buildings.
In Tirana riot police bl
ocked the streets leading into Skanderbeg Square.
Attempting to
push back the protesters, they beat their batons aga
inst their shields, but then charged
the demonstrators - several were injured.
Plainclothes officers stopped opposition party leaders trying to address the crowd - smashing their megaphones and beating them. Several people were thrown into police vans.
Rexhep Nejdani, the deputy chief of the Sociali
sts, suffered arm in
juries.
Supporters trying to shield the oppositio
n leaders were also clubbed by
police.
A wave of unrest has swept across Albania over the past week after two pyramid
schemes began to collapse.
An estimated 5-hundr
ed-thousand of Albania's three-point-two million citizens have invested money in scams involving fictitious investment companies and charities offering
double-digit interest rates.
As elsewhere in post-Communist eastern Europe, pyra
mid schemes have popped up in poverty-ridden Albania, offering sky-high interest rates to citizens with average monthly wages of sixt
y to eighty dollars.
Early investors made fortunes in the funds. But be
cause the schemes pay the fir
st investors with the money from later on
es, they require a steady stream
of new contributors.
Without th
at, they crumble - as in t
he case of two of Albania's 10 fu
nds that failed to pay out over the p
ast week, sparking
violent demonstrations
The demonstrations agai
nst the funds have quickly turned against the government, which investors blame for allo
wing the get-rich-quick schemes to operate i
n Albania.
Myfit Muro, from the southern port of Vlaro, sold his house and has invested
over 10- thousand dollars (10-
million leks) in a pyramid scheme. He's lost everything and now plans to emigrate to Italy.
The president must say if we will get the money or not. Why did the government allow three or four people to collect all the money of the Albanians
and cheat them? Where was the government and the president then? How could they operate without a licence? If I open a shop I need a licence. How could they operate without it?
The people have given the pr
esident their vote and he cheated them.

Q: What will you do?

On Saturday, President Sali Berisha said the gove
rnment would offer jobs and bank credits to the people most affected by the investment
fund failures.
The government last week froze 255 (m) million dollars in assets of some of the funds.
Opposition leaders have accused some of the pyramid-scheme companies of having financed the Democrats' campaign

The secretary-gene

Javier Solana is expec

talks on Monday with Russia's Foreign Minister about moves to extend NATO membership to former memb

Solana wants to es

NATO Se

The 16-nation alliance is eager to
establish a new relationship with its old adversary before its summit this summer.
That gathering will decide which countrie

The meeting with Primakov, closed to t

.
Moscow opposes NATO's p
lans to take in as many as a dozen new members, including man

However, Primakov said last week that Moscow might be satisfied if NATO provided guarantees
that it would not move its military i

BOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) Serbo-Croat/Nat
Forty-seven C
anadian soldiers stand accused of sexual misconduct, drunkenness and other abuses in Bosnia.
The abuses allegedly
took place on a U-N Peacekeeping mission to protect a mental hospital in central Bosnia in 1993 and '94.
Physical abuse of
patients, excessive drinking and sex with interpreters and nurses -- are some of the charges being levied against the Cana
dian 12th Armored regiment.
Their army commander says the soldiers face disciplinary hearings that could end their military car
eers.
The Canadian 12th Armoured regiment was assigned to protect a mental hospital in Bakovici, Bosnia located in the war zone.
The regiment was part of the UN peacekeeping forces in Bosn
ia.
Until the accusation surfaced the mission had been depicted as heroic and successful.
A report
on the alleged abuses says the soldiers engaged in consensual sex with nurses at a mental hospital, bo
ught black-market al
cohol and abused patients.
Staff at the mental home in Bakovici have confirmed that the incidents took place.
But they claim they were in no position to do anythi
ng about it at the time because the country
was in the middle of
a civil war.

Original
ly 57 members of the Canadian 12th Armored regi
ment were named and
accused of committing various offences.
Ten of the soldi
ers left the army, leaving 47 soldiers still s
ubject to military discipline.
The soldiers were on a t
our in 1993 and 1994 in Bosnia.
During the conflict
the hospital was fo
r some time in the hands of the Croats and subsequently controlled by the Bosnian Serbs.
The report blames much of the wrongdoing on inexperienced leadership.

Santia
go's underground train network is getting a facelift.
/>Leading artists from Chile and beyond have been given the task of smart
ening up the modern and efficient but otherwise drab metro .
Riding the metro in the Chilean capital has become something of a cultural experience.
Several stations have been transformed into temples of contemporary art.
This mural by Mario
Toral - Visual Memory of the Nation - is one of several that are delighting Santiago's commuters.
M
easuring more than 100 feet (30 metres) long and 60 feet (20 metres) wide, it's being
billed as Latin America's largest mural.
Completed last May, the enterprise too
k the internationally renowned painter and a team of ass
istants two years to execute.
The painter also hopes to complete a second segment of the same size which will narrate Chile's history after the Spanish conquest.
Mo
st recent of the works is "Tiles for Santiago" by Portuguese artist Rogerio Ribeiro which gra
ces the walls of Santa Lucia station and was inaugurated by the president of Portugal last November.
The work is composed of 44-thousand tiles depicting historical episodes common to both Portugal and
Spain.
Santiago's travelling public has contemplated the changes with a mixture of bemusement an
d enthusiasm.

"We've been developing from hanging oil paintin
gs in the stations to more important works where the who
le station is used: tiles,
stonework, for example,
which are more durable and represent a more global use of the stations."
SUPER CAPTION: Daniel Fernandez, Metro director
The scheme has breathed new life into a modern and efficient but otherwise drab metro.
And it's all been achi
eved at no cost to the public.
Each station has been sponsored by a private company, with the sole incentive that they can aft
erwards use the artwork for publicity.

Specially trained dogs
have become an invaluable tool to emergency and rescue workers around the world
.
Their acute sense of smell has saved countless lives after avalanches or earthquakes.
For one dog in South Africa, sniffing out the cause of a fire is all in
a day's work.
Ti
lly has an uncanny ability to help arson investigators.
She's been highly successful and both Tilly and her trainer are no
w off to the United States to share their knowledge at an international police investigations' conferenc
e.
Eighteen months ago Tilly was trained by Inspector Kim Yates to become an arson investigator.
The idea of using dogs to sniff out flammable liquids at fire scenes fi
rst started in the United States, but Tilly has been such a success that she and her owner are off to teac
h American dogs new tricks.
After a fire has been put out, she sniffs through the debris, and lies down when she finds the cause.
Last year Tilly investigated two hundred and forty-two fires.
And of all the samples she identified, ninety percent tested positive for arson.
According to her trainer, she can sniff out a fraction of a millilitre of petrol in a building after a blaze.
She has been trained to distinguish between the petroleum released from burnt plastics and other petroleum based liquids used to start a fire.
Tilly's reputation for having one of the best noses in the fire investigation business has won her widespread acclaim.
Now, she along with her owner have been invited to the U-S to help train other dogs in her specialised skills.

Publishing houses from around 80 countries are taking part in the Cairo International Book Fair - the second largest in the world.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak opened the two week event which is expected to attract more than three (m) million visitors of all nationalities.
It's one of the Egyptian capital's biggest cultural events - The Cairo International Book Fair.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak inaugurated the 29th fair - the largest in the Middle East and the second largest in the world.
Mubarak and Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzoury toured one of the seven exhibition halls where state and private-run publishing houses from 80 countries are exhibiting.
They also met a number of foreign publishers.
The book fair continues for 13 days and is run by the Egyptian General Book Organisation.
Some four (m) million books are on display but there's also CD-roms and artistic and cultural activities such as literary seminars and poetry readings.
The fair is being held in the slower weeks of Ramadan.
The Nasser City Fair grounds are open all day except during sunset when Muslims go home to break their fast.
One exhibition that has already proved popular with visitors is the Greek stand.
Although it's a small display, the murals and paintings shown in books and on CD-rom depicting the Greek influence on Egyptian history are particularly eye-catching.
