Indian families aborting more girls

Posted: 24 May 2011 11:51 AM PDT

Photograph: Janet Wishnetsky/Corbis Families in India are increasingly aborting their second child if they know it to be a girl and they already have a daughter, a study shows. Scientists estimate that up to 6 million girls have been aborted in India over the past decade by couples who do not want a large family and are determined to have a son. The practice is more widespread among wealthier and better educated Indian families, who are better able to afford the prenatal tests and medical intervention they want. While it has been known that there has been a tendency to abort girls in India since the first census in 1871, the latest evidence suggests that the practice is common throughout the country. The research, published in the Lancet, suggests that the Indian government's attempt to tackle the issue by outlawing ultrasound scans that identify the sex of a foetus has not worked. The Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act was passed in 1996 to stop medical staff telling parents the sex of a foetus. "It is unlikely that this act has been effective nationally because few health providers have been charged or convicted," write the authors, Prof Prabhat Jha from the University of Toronto and colleagues from India, including the former registrar-general of India, Dr Jayant Banthia. "We are not surprised by this lack of prosecution given that most primary care is with unregulated private providers." This year's Indian census revealed that there are about 7.1 million fewer girls than boys under the age of six. The gap has grown substantially since the 2001 census, which found 6 million fewer girls, and the 1991 census, 4.2 million fewer. The researchers used census data to estimate the absolute numbers of abortions for reasons of sex selection. They used information on more than 250,000 births in national surveys to work out the difference in the girl-boy ratio in second births in families where the first child was a girl. They found that the ratio in second births where the first child was a daughter fell from 906 girls per 1,000 boys in 1990 to 836 in 2005 – a drop of 0.52% a year. But there was no decline in the ratio among couples whose first child was a son. The authors estimate that between 3 million and 6 million girls were aborted from 2000 to 2010. Over the 30 years from 1980 to 2010, there could have been as many as 12 million abortions of girls. In a commentary, two leading experts point out that the desire to have a son appears to influence the behaviour of expatriate Indians too. Higher ratios of sons to daughters in second births, when the first child was a girl, have been found among Indians living in the US.

India accused of map censorship

Posted: 24 May 2011 11:45 AM PDT


The Economist magazine has accused India of hostile censorship after being forced by the country's authorities to cover up a map in its latest edition. India says the map, which depicts the disputed area of Kashmir, is incorrect because it shows the region as divided between Pakistan, India and China. Kashmir is claimed by both India and Pakistan in its entirety but has been divided since 1948. It has been the cause of two wars between them. Nearly 30,000 copies of the latest edition of The Economist are being distributed in India with a blank white sticker placed over a map of Kashmir. The map was to be used to illustrate a cover story on the border between India and Pakistan which it describes as the world's "most dangerous".

Colombian cocaine shipment seized

Posted: 24 May 2011 11:41 AM PDT


The Colombian security forces say they have seized a massive haul of cocaine in the port city of Cartagena.

Sniffer dogs found more than 12 tonnes of the drug hidden in a shipment of brown sugar destined for Mexico. It is believed to belong to one of Colombia's most powerful drug gangs, the Rastrojos. In another development, police at Bogota airport arrested a Mexican national who had arrived with $2.8m (£1.7m) in his hand luggage. Sniffer dogs checking a ship bound for Veracruz in Mexico alerted their handlers to the presence of drugs in the hull of the vessel. Laboratory tests revealed a large shipment of brown sugar had been laced with cocaine. Investigative teams are still testing the sugar, which had been packed into 33,450 units of 500g each, to determine the exact concentration of cocaine. However, officials say it already amounts to more than 12 tonnes of the drug. It is one of largest hauls of cocaine seized in Colombia over the past years. 'New enemy' Police said it came from the Valle del Cauca region, in the south- west of Colombia. The area is the stronghold of the Rastrojos, a drug gang which exports large amounts of cocaine to Central America and Mexico. The Colombian government recently declared criminal gangs its new enemy and promised to devote more resources to the fight against them. In January, Defence Minister Rodrigo Rivera told Colombian news magazine Semana drug gangs were increasingly taking control of drug-trafficking networks from Colombia's left- wing Farc guerrillas. Also on Monday, police officers detained a Mexican national, Jesus Ochoa, who is from Culiacan in the state of Sinaloa. Officers said they suspected the cash was payment for drugs shipments to Mexico's Sinaola cartel. "It's one of the biggest cash seizures in recent years," the customs authorities said in a statement.

Tepco confirms extra partial fuel rod meltdown at plant

Posted: 24 May 2011 11:38 AM PDT


The company said that the rods were in its Number 2 and Number 3 reactors. Tepco has been trying to contain radiation from the plant, crippled by the 11 March earthquake and tsunami. The company said that it planned to stick to its timetable of getting the radiation under control by January. Tepco's announcement came on the same day that a team from the United Nations' atomic watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), kicked off a visit in Japan. 100 hours Earlier this month, Tepco had revealed that rods at its Number 1 reactor melted down. It was thought that a similar problem had occurred in the other reactors but it was difficult to confirm. "Based on our analysis, we have reached the conclusion that a certain amount of nuclear fuel has melted down," Ken Matsuda, a Tepco spokesman told the BBC. He said the analysis came from a report that Tepco was required to submit to Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (Nisa). The spokesman added that most of the fuel from the Number 2 reactor had melted approximately 100 hours after the earthquake, which measured 9 on the Richter scale, struck Japan. The meltdown in the Number 3 reactor took place about 60 hours after the quake. Mr Matsuda said the new discovery would not alter Tepco's plans. The company has said that it wants to reach a "cold shutdown" of the power plant by January, and has been trying to cool the reactors and get the unstable fuel rods back under control. "This result does not change our work," he said. Radiation monitoring Earlier in May, Tepco revealed that the damage sustained by the Number 1 reactor immediately after the earthquake and tsunami was far more severe than initially thought. Professor Nobumasa Akiyama of Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo said Tepco's new revelation reinforces that idea. In an effort to better understand the current situation in Japan specialists from the IAEA are joining other international experts in Tokyo for a fact- finding mission. They are expected to submit a report on Japan's handling of the nuclear crisis to present to the IAEA's member states. The group is expected to visit the Fukushima nuclear plant, though details have not been finalised. Professor Akiyama said that the IAEA had come under criticism for its reaction to the Fukushima crisis. "First of all, it has not been able to provide the information on what's going on on the ground," he said. "Secondly, it hasn't been able to provide a prescription for the solution of the crisis." Mr Akiyama said the nuclear agency would be expected to provide more guidelines for nuclear safety after the visit to Japan this week. He added that it may need to be beef up its funding and staff if it was going to be able to fulfil its mandate. Tepco confirms extra partial fuel rod meltdown at plant The problems with the Fukushima nuclear plant have raised questions over Tepco's future Fukushima nuclear plant Related Stories Viewpoint: Tepco's future options Tepco boss 'takes responsibility' Restructuring likely for Tepco Based on our analysis, we have reached the conclusion that a certain amount of nuclear fuel has melted down." Ken Matsuda Tepco Analysis Japan's government has faced some criticism at home, and from its neighbours, over its handling of the crisis at the Fukushima nuclear power station. The Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano has said the team from the International Atomic Energy Agency is being welcomed into the country to demonstrate transparency. Led by Mike Weightman, Britain's chief inspector of nuclear installations, the 20 experts from a dozen countries are expected to visit the crippled plant. They'll also meet officials as they compile a report which will be presented to member states of the IAEA next month. The aim is to learn lessons to improve nuclear safety worldwide, and to share expertise. Roland Buerk BBC News, Tokyo image of Roland Buerk

Mubarak to be tried over deaths

Posted: 24 May 2011 11:36 AM PDT


Egypt's ousted President Hosni Mubarak and his two sons are to be tried over the deaths of anti- government protesters, judicial officials say.

Mr Mubarak, who was ousted in February, is being detained at a hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. He and his wife also face allegations of illegally acquiring wealth while they were in power for 30 years. The couple's two sons, Alaa and Gamal, are being held in Cairo's Tora prison and also face fraud charges. The three men have been charged with "premeditated murder of some participants in the peaceful protests of the 25 January revolution," the country's state news agency reported the prosecutor general as saying. More than 800 people died in the weeks-long crackdown that preceded Mr Mubarak's departure. The charges come after renewed calls for protests on Friday to demand the trial of the Mubarak family as well as the lifting of emergency law. Egypt's military-led administration appears to be responding to public pressure to bring the former first family to trial, says the BBC's Jon Leyne in Cairo. Frozen accounts The 83-year-old former leader was admitted to Sharm el- Sheikh's military hospital in April with reported heart problems. He and his wife Suzanne - who was also recently examined for possible heart problems after falling ill - have already been questioned at the Red Sea resort on charges of profiteering. Reformers in Egypt believe the Mubarak family accumulated a fortune worth tens of billions of dollars while in power. The Mubaraks have denied this, and little hard evidence has yet been made public. However their bank accounts in Cairo and in Switzerland have been frozen. Suzanne Mubarak was not mentioned in Tuesday's charges announcement, but her situation may have brought the latest development about, adds our correspondent. The 70-year-old was released from custody last week after she returned turned over a villa in a Cairo suburb and $3m (£1.9m) held in bank accounts in Egypt. Her release prompted a backlash, with many fearing the Mubaraks may be negotiating some form of amnesty. More than 20 Mubarak-era ministers and businessmen linked to the regime have been detained since February's uprising. Earlier this month, former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly was sentenced to 12 years in jail on charges of money-laundering and profiteering. Adly also faces separate charges of ordering troops to fire on demonstrators. He could face the death penalty if convicted.

Queen greets Obama on state visit

The Queen welcomes President Obama to Buckingham Palace

The Queen has greeted US President Barack Obama, and his wife Michelle, at the start of his first UK state visit.

The Obamas also met other senior royals at Buckingham Palace and later David and Samantha Cameron at Downing Street on day one of the three- day trip. The couple laid a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey and are attending a state banquet at Buckingham Palace later. It came after David Cameron and Mr Obama spoke of "essential" UK-US ties. 'Common interests' In ajoint article in the Times, Mr Obama and Mr Cameron said of their countries' relationship: "Ours is not just a special relationship, it is an essential relationship - for us and for the world. "When the United States and Britain stand together, our people and people around the world can become more secure and more prosperous. "The reason it thrives is because it advances our common interests and shared values. It is a perfect alignment of what we both need and what we both believe." The presidential pair's visit to Westminster Abbey included an impromptu meeting with choirboys, when Mr Obama was teased by his wife for his lack of singing talent. "He insisted on speaking to each one of them and shaking their hands," the Dean, Dr John Hall said. "He said that he liked to think he could sing and Mrs Obama said 'Well, he can't really, he can dance'." Mr Obama briefly met the prime minister in Downing Street ahead of talks on Wednesday. They then left together for a surprise visit to the Globe Academy in Southwark, south London, where they teamed up for a table tennis match against schoolboys. The leaders' talks are likely to focus on the Middle East and the ongoing conflict in Libya. In their article, they also vowed not to abandon the protesters fighting for democracy in Arab countries, writing that they would "stand with those who want to bring light into dark, support those who seek freedom in place of repression, aid those laying the building blocks of democracy. "We will not stand by as their aspirations get crushed in a hail of bombs, bullets and mortar fire. "We are reluctant to use force, but when our interests and values come together, we know we have a responsibility to act." BBC diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall said the two countries were anxious to play up their closeness. "Security is the secret glue at the core of the special relationship, and that bond is being strengthened," our correspondent said. "Behind the flags and formalities, be sure there are tensions, but in this era of tightened budgets and sudden crises, there's a new eagerness to work together." Mr Obama arrived in the UK from the Republic of Ireland a day ahead of schedule on Monday, to avoid any disruption from a volcanic ash cloud. After the president and his wife joined the Queen at Buckingham Palace they briefly met the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge before moving to the palace gardens where there was a ceremonial welcome, including a 41-gun salute. There was an exchange of gifts, with the Obamas presenting the Queen with a collection of memorabilia and photographs from her parents' 1939 visit to the US. They received a selection of letters from the royal archives, between past US presidents and English monarchs. When President Obama was shown letters and artefacts charting Britain's loss of the American colonies, he joked: "That was only a temporary blip in the relationship." Michelle Obama was also given an antique brooch made of gold and red coral in the form of roses.

Thousands face ash flight delays

Posted: 24 May 2011 11:25 AM PDT



Airports affected include Londonderry, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Prestwick, Durham Tees Valley, Newcastle and Carlisle, air traffic services company Nats said. The UK's emergency response committee, Cobra, met to discuss the knock-on effects of the ash cloud. Air traffic management body Eurocontrol said about 500 flights were cancelled across Europe on Tuesday. UK air traffic control service Nats said the ash cloud would continue to affect flights from some airports in Scotland and northern England from 1900 BST on Tuesday until 0100 BST on Wednesday. Transport Secretary Philip Hammond, who led the Cobra talks, said although there would be widespread disruption for Scottish airports, it was unlikely to last long. "At the moment the model suggests that disruption later in the week is likely to be limited, but of course the weather patterns are changing all the time," he said. The Met Office said the ash had reached northern Scotland and would spread across much of the UK by the end of the day. But forecasters said changing wind patterns made it hard to predict its exact path and concentrations would vary between regions. The following airlines announced cancellations:

Berlusconi scandals weakening his grip on power amid challenge from rivals

Posted: 24 May 2011 11:21 AM PDT


Gianfranco Fini, the Italian politician who brought last year's political crisis to a head when he urged Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to step down in November, said again on Sunday that it would "be a good idea" for Berlusconi to resign, and called for a new round of elections. The repeated calls from Fini are part of a series of developments which indicate that Berlusconi's fragile hold on power may be slipping. In addition to Fini's remarks, opposition lawmakers have been criticizing the prime minister's handling of a series of sex and influence peddling scandals. A debate opened on Monday ahead of a confidence vote that could force one of Berlusconi's closest allies to step down from his ministerial post, and the government' s approval levels continued to erode. At the heart of the latest crisis is the case of a Moroccan- born erotic dancer reported to have had sexual relations with Berlusconi as a minor. She was recorded telling a friend she had asked for millions of euros in return for keeping quiet. The girl, Karima el Mahroug -- best known by her stage name " Ruby the Heart Robber," has since backtracked from some of the early reports. And in a televised address on Saturday, Berlusconi insisted he had "done nothing [he] should be ashamed of." But the story will not die, and now it is appearing to start to weaken the prime minister's hold on power, which he won with a paper-thin victory in a Dec. 14 confidence vote in parliament. Experts say that the latest comments from Fini may again make the former Berlusconi ally a rallying point for anti- Berlusconi sentiment. It comes at a bad time for the 74-year-old prime minister, who is fighting charges related to his relationship with el Mahroug and a recent decision reversing part of a controversial immunity law that had protected him from prosecution. He is also trying to spark growth in Italy's sluggish economy while preventing allies from deserting his coalition, something that could make his government crumble. Berlusconi could lose at least one key ally this week: Sandro Bondi, the Minister of Culture, is up for a confidence vote that could force him to resign if he loses. The debate started on Monday and the vote could take place on Wednesday or Thursday. Bondi, who is under investigation for two walls that collapsed in the ancient archeological site of Pompeii on his watch, is one of Berlusconi's most faithful allies.

Suicide bombing in Kazakhstan, casualties reported

Posted: 24 May 2011 11:20 AM PDT


ALMATY, Kazakhstan: A suicide bomber blew himself up outside the headquarters of the security services in the Kazakh capital Astana early Tuesday, causing casualties, the Interfax news agency said. A car with one or two people inside exploded outside the entrance to the headquarters at around 3:30 am (0130 GMT) and body parts of the passengers were blown out by the force of the blast, witnesses told the agency. One witness showed the agency a video filmed on a mobile phone showing a headless body of a man lying around 10 metres (yards) from the centre of the explosion. A press secretary for the KNB security services told the agency, however, that a car simply caught fire outside the entrance. "A car just caught fire and blew up. Nothing special happened here. Any car can catch fire in any place," spokesman Kenzhebulat Beknazarov told the agency. The blast came just days after a suicide bombing outside the headquarters of the security service in the northwestern Kazakh city of Aktobe on May 17, which wounded three people including a member of the security services. Such attacks until now have been hugely rare in Kazakhstan, the most stable state in Central Asia which has been run since even before the fall of the Soviet Union by strongman President Nursultan Nazarbayev.

Pakistan returns US helicopter from Osama bin Laden raid

Posted: 24 May 2011 11:01 AM PDT


WASHINGTON: Pakistan has returned to the United States wreckage of a US helicopter destroyed during the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, a Pentagon official told Reuters on Tuesday. The delivery of the wreckage meets a key US demand of Pakistan in the wake the May 2 mission to kill the al Qaeda leader, which Islamabad branded a violation of its sovereignty. Pakistani officials were kept in the dark about the U.S. raid in Abbottabad, only 30 miles (50 km) from Pakistan's capital. "It (the wreckage) was returned over the weekend and is now back in the United States," Pentagon spokesman Colonel Dave Lapan said. The US Navy SEAL team blew up the helicopter damaged during the raid to prevent sensitive technology from falling into enemy hands.
