President Bush has urged the Chinese President Hu Jintao, who is making his first official visit to Washington, to allow more freedom for his people. In an elaborate welcoming ceremony on the White House lawn, President Bush said that China had become successful because its people were enjoying economic freedom. China, he said, could grow even more successful if its people were allowed greater political and religious freedom as well.
"I'll continue to discuss with President Hu the importance of respecting human rights and freedoms of the Chinese people. China has become successful because the Chinese people are experienced the freedom to buy and to sell and to produce, and China can grow even more successful by allowing the Chinese people the freedom to assemble, to speak freely and to worship. "
In his response President Hu made no reference to human rights but promised that China would try to help resolve nuclear disputes with both Iran and North Korea.
The United States Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has announced plans for stronger action against businesses employing illegal immigrants. He said those who entered the US illegally couldn't be allowed to think they were safe once when they were inside the country. James James Coomarasamy reports from Washington.
Secretary Chertoff said the US government was sending a signal to employers that when they hire immigrant workers they face a clear choice between a legal regulated path and strong sanctions. He said this was a key to solving the nation's immigration problems. The arrests come just days before the US Senate is due to resume its debate on how to reform America's immigration rules. The Bush administration is promoting the idea of a guest worker programme, but this is being criticized by some congressional Republicans as being soft on law-breakers.
The Hamas-led government in the Palestinian territories has announced the formation of a new force comprised of members of Palestinian armed groups. The Interior Minister Said Siyam said the force would support the police in its duties. The BBC correspondent in Gaza says Hamas appears to be trying to bring the various armed groups into the government system instead of having them challenge it from outside.
The largest political group in the Iraqi parliament -- the Shiite Alliance is due to meet late today Friday to nominate a new prime ministerial candidate in an effort to end 4 months of political crisis. The talks follow the decision by the current Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari to hand his controversial nomination back to the alliance and to support whoever becomes the new Shiite candidate. Mr. al-Jaafari has faced strong opposition from Kurdish, Sunni and secular groups.

The Nepalese capital Kathmandu is still under an extended curfew after tens of thousands of people took to the streets demanding that King Gyanendra give up direct rule and restore democracy. Police opened fire on some protestors who defied the curfew, killing 3 people. Daily protests against the Nepalese king have continued for 2 weeks and the opposition has called for another rally on Friday. From Kathmandu, Sanjoy Majumder reports.
The announcement that curfew is to be extended was made on state radio. No reason has been given for the extension, but the administration will be keen on keeping a lid on any further display of public sentiment that was witnessed earlier today. Tens of thousands of Nepalese gathered along the periphery of the city centre, defying shoot-to-kill orders. They chanted pro-democracy slogans as armed police and security forces looked on. In one neighbourhood, police opened fire on a group of protestors, leading to 3 deaths, according to hospital sources.
The United Nations chief emergency coordinator Jan Egeland has warned that the aid operation in the western Sudan region of Darfur could collapse in weeks or months because of lack of funding. Mr. Egeland was speaking after addressing members of the Security Council on the situation in Darfur where tens of thousands people have been killed and some 2 million driven from their homes since the conflict began. From the UN, Susannah Price reports.
The UN's top humanitarian official Jan Egeland said he didn't think the world realized how bad the situation really was in Darfur. He said that 3 million people needed help each day, but humanitarian workers were struggling to keep the aid flowing, and he warned that the lack of security coupled with a shortage of funds meant the aid operation could collapse in weeks or at the most months. He called on governments to take action to prevent Sudan from collapsing as Rwanda did during the genocide more than a decade ago.
Nearly 30, 000 doormen in New York City are threatening to go on strike unless their demands for a new pay contract are met in the next few hours. Residents of expensive apartment blocks in Manhattan are hiring private security staff and making plans to take up their own rubbish. Building owners say they are imposing a pay freeze because of rising costs.

The Nepalese capital Katmandu is still under extended curfew after tens of thousands of people took to the streets demanding that King Gyanendra give up direct rule and restore democracy. Police open fire on some protestors who defied the curfew killing 3 people. Daily protests against the Nepalese king have continued for 2 weeks and the opposition has called for another rally on Friday. From Katmandu Sunjoy Madranda reports.
The announcement that curfew is to be extended was made on state radio. No reason has been given for the extension but the administration will be keen on keeping a lid on any further displayed public sentiment that was witnessed earlier today. Tens of thousands of Nepalese gathered along the periphery of the city center defying shoot-to-kill orders. They chant the pro-democracy slogans as armed police and security forces looked on. In one neighborhood police opened fire on a group of protestors, leading to 3 deaths according to hospital sources.

He said that 3 million people needed help each day but humanitarian workers were struggling to keep the aid flowing and he warned that the lack of security coupled with a shortage of funds meant the aid operation could collapse in weeks or at the most months. He called on governments to take action to prevent Sudan from collapsing as Rwanda did during the genocide more than a decade ago.

President Bush has urged the Chinese President Hu Jintao, who is making his first official visit to Washington, to allow more freedom for his people. In an elaborate welcoming ceremony on the White House lawn President Bush said that China had become successful because its people were enjoying economic freedom. China, he said, could grow even more successful if its people were allowed greater political and religious freedom as well.
I'll continue to discuss with President Hu the importance of respecting human rights and freedoms of the Chinese people. China has become successful because the Chinese people are experience the freedom to buy and to sell and to produce and China can grow even more successful by allowing the Chinese people the freedom to assemble, to speak freely and to worship.
