Comments:Russian prime minister resigns at President Vladimir Putin's request

WTF????????!!!!! What is this? MUST KNOW MORE. This could be WWIII!

Call me paranoid, but I don't think well of Putin, he calls the U.S. imperialist, nationalizes industry and press, and it seems to me that he rigged his approval rating to be the very best... I remember him saying about wanting more time as president. Might this be the new soviet union stuff? Look at this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6598411387536744034&q=putin&total=17081&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=6 I hope I am wrong about this... but it looks like the former KGB agent is the next Stalin. Time to shine NATO, the question is: will this be a new cold war? Or will it get hot, like atomic bomb hot?Contralya 14:01, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Two words...
Oh shit... Anyway, that's a very very bold move of Putin to do that, I have a feeling the UN is going to be PISSED. Kwsn 18:13, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Yea, they should tear him a new one. I am sure he gets hassled because of his strict control of the media already. I hope this takes some pressure off the U.S., people always seem to forget what we were fighting against in the cold war. Do you think his objective is to secure his permanent presidency?

The thing is about what he is doing, it is mostly an internal affair of Russia, they know the world would be against them in open war, and that too many soviet allies are aligned with the west now to fight a cold war. I wonder what his relations to the terrorists and N Korea, Iran, Venezuela and Cuba are? You never know, KGB agents are trained to lie well. Though that is a little paranoid. Just being prepared for the worst; you never know when you may need to take up arms and become a partisan :D .Contralya 21:48, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Overreacted, please apologize
Whoever wrote the article originally was exaggerating, perhaps to get viewers? But in any case, I have studied sudden change in government in the past, were someone could kick the staff out and replace them with hand picked pawns... And you shouldn't joke around like that with someone like Putin (if you look at the video I posted above) and I am sure it would lead many to believe that he was trying to force more terms as president. Whoever wrote the article originally owes me an apology! Part of the reason I come here is because this site doesn't exaggerate like other news services seem to.

Comments:Russia tests 'world's biggest non-nuclear bomb'

Americans have a seemingly identical bomb (at least the BLU-82). Since the media over there is controlled by the government, it's probably not the biggest. I mean, they probably lied about their new missiles too. And if the explosion is as big as a nuke's, doesn't that mean they are practically the same thing in warfare? I know that nukes have fallout and radiation wile conventional explosives don't, but using a explosive as powerful as that would still warrant nuclear retaliation. Contralya 16:42, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * The Russians are sabre-rattling, but for who's attention? Jcart1534 16:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Anyone reminded of a piece of fabric they put at the north pole? This, the cluster nukes, and the flag, indeed seem to be about collecting respect or attention, making themselves not seem weak. Is it to boost the morale of his people? Is it to attract allies? Or is it perhaps so that Russia doesn't seem weak? You can never know what goes through the heads of those commies in the Kremlin. They may be capitalizing (pun intended) on popular opinion being against the U.S., though NATO could beat Russia any day. No doubt that foreign relations of the U.S. will improve after the 08 elections.

What does it matter having a conventional explosive as powerful as a nuke? Do they really think that using one against a city would not provoke nuclear retaliation? Contralya 22:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Comments:Ontario Votes 2007: Interview with NDP candidate Paul Johnstone, Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound

Should I be expecting a lot of election news on wikinews? Contralya 16:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes! The Ontario provincial election is coming up in October. User Zanimum is lining up a lot of interviews. --Jcart1534 16:53, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm going to try for every candidate in every riding. (I'll be setting the rest to be posted at the start of the day after I receive them, that way they'll appear at the bottom of the list on the front page, to cause less distraction for the 99.9% of readers from outside Ontario.) Whether many people will respond is still an open question, but hopefully they do. October 8th is the last day you'll have to put up with these, btw, as the 10th is the election and they aren't allowed to promote themselves on the 9th; the media can cover about election issues, but I figure if they haven't got the interview in by then, they don't want to win. --  Zanimum 17:32, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Jon Stewart to host 80th Academy Awards

September 13, 2007 Jon Stewart is to return as host of the Academy Awards. It will be the second time he has hosted the awards, having first done it in 2006. The 80th Academy Awards ceremony will be presented at the Kodak Theatre on February 24, 2008.

When Stewart last presented the Oscars, he received mixed reviews. Tom Shales called him, "a sad and pale shadow of great hosts gone by." However, Roger Ebert called his performance a "home run". The 2006 awards performed poorly in terms of ratings. It attracted 38.9 million viewers, compared to 39.9 million last year when it was hosted by Ellen DeGeneres and 42.1 million when hosted by Chris Rock in 2005.

However, the producer for the Oscars, Gil Cates, said that, "He is smart, quick, funny, and loves movies. What else could one ask for?" Stewart is said to be thrilled to be asked to host the awards again, "Because third time's the charm."

Stewart is most famous as host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show.

Former Philippine President Joseph Estrada found guilty of plunder

September 12, 2007 Former Philippine President Joseph "Erap" Ejercito Estrada was found guilty by the Sandiganbayan (anti-graft court) for plunder but found him not guilty on a count of perjury.

The Philippines’ 13th President was arrested in April 2001 after being ousted in a peaceful revolution in January of the same year for allegedly amassing US$ 85 million (PhP 46=US$) from kickbacks and for failure to declare his true assets and liabilities as a requisite for any public elected or appointed official.

After almost six years of trial, Estrada faces a lifetime of imprisonment or at least 40 years in prison.

The former president's son, Senator Jose "Jinggoy" Estrada and personal lawyer Edward S. Serapio who also faced similar charges of plunder and perjury were proclaimed not guilty.

A special division of the anti-graft court was created to specifically hear the case of Estrada and found beyond reasonable doubt that the former President was guilty of plunder.

The court's decision stated that Estrada received money from illegal gambling and collected commissions from the sale of publicly listed Belle Corp. shares.

The court stated that it found not enough evidence to tie Estrada to charges of misappropriating tobacco excise taxes and amassing wealth deposited in the so-called "Jose Velarde" account.

The 262-page decision stated that, "The predicate acts alleged [in the two cases] were linked by the fact that they were plainly geared towards a common goal which was the accumulation of ill-gotten wealth ... and that they shared a pattern or a common method of commission which was the abuse or misuse of the high authority or power of the presidency."

As a result of the court's decision, the state will forfeit Mr. Estrada’s accounts that includes P545.29 million (US$11.5 million) credited to the Erap Muslim Youth Foundation and the P189-million (US$ 4.10 million) Velarde account, including the so-called Boracay Mansion in New Manila, Quezon City.

Estrada, who was also a popular movie actor said in an interview after the verdict that the three person panel of judges of the anti-graft court were "pressured" to ensure the legitimacy of the incumbent administration of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Mrs. Arroyo assumed the office of the President on January 20, 2001 when a peaceful uprising forced Mr. Estrada to step down from office.

The 70-year-old former President declared this Sunday that his lawyers will appeal should the court find him guilty and he is prepared to face incarceration. Estrada added that he will not ask for any form of pardon from incumbent President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo who assumed office when Estrada was ousted.

Mr. Estrada proclaimed before members of media after the verdict was read saying, "I submitted myself to the rule of law when I allowed the impeachment proceedings against me to take its course. I did not resort to influence, the trial nor to any acts that may constitute obstruction of justice, whitewash or cover-ups."

The former president re-emphasized his position that he will never ask for any form of pardon from Mrs. Arroyo's administration and he was prepared to serve his sentence at the National Penitentiary among the common people with no special privileges.

Estrada, has been on detention by virtue of a "house arrest" at his rest house at Tanay in Rizal Province, east of the capital Manila. "I am at peace with myself notwithstanding the guilty verdict because you, my beloved countrymen, have overwhelmingly acquitted me," Estrada added.

The Philippine government placed the entire military and police on its highest level of alert, more than a week ahead in preparation for the Estrada verdict.

Traffic around the anti-graft court was re-routed and classes from among nearby schools were also suspended to pre-empt any possible security problems resulting from pro-Estrada supporters.

On May 1, 2001, thousands of Estrada supporters amassed before Malacañan Palace to protest the incarceration of the former President and attempted to unseat Mrs. Arroyo to restore Estrada.

The office of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo appealed before the public to "let the rule of law prevail."

Mrs. Arroyo stated during a speech before a mix group of delegates at the Presidential palace calling for "peace and reconciliation" after the verdict has been rendered.

The president has also called for an end on "political drama," to allow the country's economy progress to move forward with no fear from political instability.

Scandinavian Airlines System landing gear failures prompt grounding of Bombardier Q400s

September 12, 2007 The second landing gear failure on a Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) de Havilland Canada Dash 8 (also known as a Bombardier Q400 following Bombardier's purchase of de Havilland Canada from Boeing) within the space of a week has prompted the grounding of many of the twin-engined turboprops.

On September 9, Scandinavian Airlines Flight 1209 suffered a right landing gear failure during landing at Aalborg Airport, Denmark. A fire broke out during the crash, and five people sustained injuries. This was followed today by the similar crash of Scandinavian Airlines Flight 2748 at Palanga Airport, Lithuania. No-one was injured.

The accidents have resulted in Bombardier recommending the grounding of all Q400s, which have undertaken more than 60,000 flights, as a "precautionary measure". This affects leading carriers around the world, including SAS, Alaska Air 's Horizon Air subsidiary, Flybe, Japan Airlines, Austrian Airlines Group and Augsburg Airways, and covers around 60 aircraft.

SAS and Horizon Air have grounded 27 and 15 aircraft respectively, while Flybe have grounded six. Another airline, Porter Airlines, which operates the type exclusively against any others, have pointed out that their aircraft have not undertaken enough flights to be affected by the measures.

The landing gear are manufactured in the United States by Goodrich Corporation. One industry analyst, Cameron Doerksen, said that he felt that although the incidents and groundings obviously constitute bad publicity, he feels it would not influence the decision of a carrier considering whether to purchase Q400s. Bombardier declined 17 cents, or 2.7 percent, to C$6.23 on the Toronto Stock Exchange and SAS fell 6 kronor, or 4.8 percent, to 118 kronor in stock exchanging in Stockholm. Goodrich stock rose 19 cents to $64.96 on the New York Stock Exchange.

The groundings have caused hundreds of flights to be cancelled, leaving thousands of passengers stranded every day. The cost to SAS alone is estimated at 10-15 million Swedish kronor per day.

2007 Rugby World Cup: Tonga, Fiji and Italy win

September 12, 2007 In the 2007 Rugby World Cup, Tonga started their campaign with a 15-25 win over the United States. Fiji won their opening match by four points in a close contest against Japan.

Romania, playing their first match of the tournament, led Italy just after half time but eventually fell to a 24-18 defeat.

In Pool A, Tonga raced to an early lead after Finau Maka scored a try in the second minute and Pierre Hola added the conversion. However the United States pinned them back for most of the first half with Pierre Hola scoring just two penalties for Tonga, giving them a 13-0 lead. Shortly before half time Mike Hercus scored a penalty for the United States to take the score to 13-3 at the interval.

The Americans controlled the game for much of the second half. Mike MacDonald scored a try for the Americans to pull the score back to 13-8, but Tonga hit back with a try from Joseph Vaka. Louis Stanfill scored a try to close the gap to three points, but Viliami Vaki scored with ten minutes remaining to claim the victory for Tonga.

The win takes Tonga to third place in Pool A with four points, behind South Africa with five and England on points difference. The United Stated have no points from two defeats.

Fiji overcame Japan in a dramatic encounter in Pool B. Nicky Little kicked Fiji to an early lead, but Shotaro Onishi scored two penalties to give Japan a 6-3 lead in the 30th minute. Fiji went ahead with a try from Akapusi Qera, and Japan's Onishi scored a penalty just before half time reducing Fiji's lead to one point.

Onishi scored another penalty after the restart and Japan led once more. Qera scored his second try for Fiji in the 49th minute, but Luke Thompson scored a try for Japan two minutes later. A try from Seru Rabeni once again gave Fiji the advantage, but Japan were kept in the match by a Tomokazu Soma try. Fiji stretched their lead to 11 points after Kele Leawere scored a try, and a last minute Luke Thompson try was not enough to snatch the win for Japan.

Fiji are third in the pool with five points, behind Australia and Wales on points difference. Japan are fourth, taking one point from this defeat.

In Pool C, Italy led Romania 8-0 at half time through an early try from Santiago Dellapè and a David Bortolussi penalty.

Romania took the lead early in the second half after Alexandru Manta and Marius Tincu scored tries. Italy regained the lead after they were awarded a penalty try due to several fouls from Romania. Ionut Dimofte scored two penalties for Romania to keep them in the game, but Ramiro Pez scored three to keep Italy ahead.

Italy are third in Pool C with four points, behind New Zealand and Scotland with five each. Romania are fourth, earning one point in this match.

Comments:Rudy Giuliani embraces "missile diplomacy"

He must be using it as a metaphor for overwhelming force, rather than literal missiles. It is not like the terrorists have cities, there would be nothing to target the missiles at. Look at Hamas, they are just an organization and they put their missile launchers in civilian cities to make it look like Israel is attacking civilians, thus giving them more supporters. This article is a little mis-leading. Though he could be talking about obliterating Iran, but what about all of those western leaning civilians? A CIA backed popular revolution is the best way to resolve the Iran problem. So what if it has been done before, it needs to be done again. You should see all of those mass arresting and beatings of reporters and many protesters. Remember those students who chanted 'down with the dictator!'? Contralya 22:10, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

There are only 3 nations that make up North America, if you compare this to Europe, Asia, or Africa, you have less national diversity. I was making a joke, since I read that a poll in Alberta said that more than 40% favored succession. You should both be ashamed of yourselves, and pull the bug out of your rear.

Did you forget to read this part of the message I said?

"(please don't take offense canadians) I do feel for them though, they really do need more support from their federal government"

And what makes you think I am American? I just thought of a joke wile reading about Alberta separatism on WIKIPEDIA.

Let's watch and see who kowtows to big oil
Now we get to see plainly who is going to lick the boots of big oil. With elections coming up, pay attention and ask your candidates to weight in on this. As for above, I think 40% is wishfull thinking from the south. Alberta is now being made up of east coasters looking for work, who will most likly not want to leave Canada. Those East coast people are as patriotic as anything.Greenknight 14:49, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Succession?
Any Albertan who even suggests succeeding from Canada should be hanged for treason! (I'm dead serious on this) --206.116.168.12 13:00, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Massive earthquakes strike Indonesia

September 13, 2007 According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) a second massive earthquake, magnitude 7.8 struck Indonesia at 6:49 a.m. (local time) [23:49 (UTC)]. The epicenter of the earthquake was located 185 kilometers (115 miles) south, southeast of Padang, Sumatra, Indonesia with a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles). Just hours ago on September 12, a massive 8.4 quake struck in the same region killing six people and injuring hundreds.

Several aftershocks have rocked the same area, the latest measuring 7.1, had a depth of 10 km. It was first reported to be a 7.3 aftershock. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) had issued a tsunami warning saying that the quake had the potential to "generate a destructive local tsunami and sometimes regional destructive tsunamis along coasts located usually no more than a thousand kilometers from the earthquake epicenter," but it was later lifted because no tsunamis were generated. Australia was also included in the warning. An advisory was sent out for the 6.5 aftershock stating that there was "no widespread tsunami threat based on earthquake historical data."

There is no word on injuries, deaths, or damage, but the USGS states that damage could be "moderate to heavy." The quake was felt in Singapore where buildings are reported to have shook.

Australian PM will not serve full term if re-elected

September 13, 2007

Speaking on the ABC's 7.30 report on Wednesday, Australian Prime Minister John Howard, admitted that if he is re-elected at the forthcoming election he will not serve a full three-year term as Prime Minister.

The announcement follows a Liberal party meeting early on Wednesday where Mr Howard told his party that they needed to unite behind him before the election amid intense leadership speculation. Mr Howard told his party that he would step aside in favour for treasurer Peter Costello late into his next term if re-elected.

If Howard is re-elected he will enter his fifth consecutive term as Prime Minister. Mr Howard is now aged 68.

Mr Howard told ABC that he needed to be honest with the electorate about his intentions. “I won’t find it easy, if I am re-elected, to retire. I won’t find it the least bit easy because I am very committed to this job and I will not like leaving it. But everything comes to an end. . . and we must be honest and candid and adult about it,"

"I'm asking people to vote for somebody who levels with them," he said.

The Prime Minister said he still had vision and would step aside only after he achieved what he intended to achieve. "If the Australian people are good enough and kind enough to re-elect me again, there are a lot of things I want to do and I would want to approach those things with enormous energy,"

"But I would expect, well into my term, that after those things have been implemented and bedded down I would probably or certainly form the view well into my term that it will make sense for me to retire,"

"I would expect, although it would be a matter for the party to determine, that Peter would take over. That's the honest position."

Julia Gillard, deputy leader of the Labor Party, which is in opposition to Howard's coalition said that Mr Howard has no plans for the country's future.

"I saw a man who didn't have plans for this nation's future, other than asking to be re-elected so that he can retire."

"The Prime Minister's revealed his plans for retirement but he hasn't revealed his long-term agenda for this country's future, and how can you have a long-term agenda when you're not staying for the long term?" said Ms Gillard.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Muhammed. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Muhammed~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Microsoft launches BizTalk Server 2006 R2 with RFID integration in Taiwan

September 13, 2007 On Tuesday, Microsoft launched BizTalk Server 2006 R2 with Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) technology in Taiwan. Microsoft Taiwan held a launch seminar with "Pulse the Operations with the Communication of Enterprises" topic and invited hardware and software companies to highlight the integration of RFID, SOA, and EDI with BizTalk Server 2006 R2.

At the press conference, Steven Martin (Director of Product Management for BizTalk® Server Product Group at Microsoft Corp.) mentioned the improvements to BizTalk Server 2006 R2 and the lower costs, which could increase the opportunities for enterprises. Martin also praised Taiwan for having an environment conducive to the development of RFID technology, and suggested that was the reason Microsoft Global Headquarters chose Taiwan as the first location for the product launch. Aside from seminars and exhibitions, Microsoft Taiwan also welcomed Chang Jung Christian University, Telecommunication Laboratories of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd., Tekho Inc., Formosa Petrochemical Co., Ltd., and Quanta Computer lnc. to introduce their solutions from their earlier integration and show the strength of RFID technologies in Taiwan.

After the launch series in Taiwan, Microsoft Global Headquarters announced that the next launch for BizTalk Server 2006 R2 would be Sydney, Australia on September 13, followed by Chicago, United States on October 2.

—68.146.113.189 05:26, 13 September 2007 (UTC)—68.146.113.189 05:26, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Although Trudeau did much for Canada's international image and the Quebec-Canada problem, he was also the author of what I consider two major catastrophies in this country.

trudeau and his liberal government were responsible for the downsizing of the Canadian Armed Forces. Canada used to have one of the best Armed Forces in the world. After Truedeau was finished with his butchery, our forces were in dire need of more soliers, more equipment, and more money so that not only could the Forces operate efficiently, but the members could feed their families properly.

The second thing that he did was put this country into debt. Canada is still trying to recover from the debt that Mr. Trudeau and his liberals caused in Canada. When my father built his home, he took out a thirty year fixed mortgae at seven percent. He was earning a higher return on his dollar by keeping his money in the bank than by paying off his morgage. Mr. Trudeau borrowed money to enable my father and his generation to borrow money at such low interest rates. Unfortunately, two generations later, and the debt is not paid off.

Why is it that Canadians and the world look at Mr. Trudeau for the good things he accomplshed but turn a blind eye to the damage that he caused every Canadian after his death. Even now, we have soldiers being killed overseas as an indirect result of Mr. Trudeau . Our Armed Forces are still trying to come up with the cash to buy modern up-to-date equipment for our soldiers fighting in other countries. Perhaps, if Mr. Trudeau had kept his hands off of our Armed Forces during the time he was in power, we would still have a modern and efficient armed forces.

Let's face it, none of our Prime Ministers are perfect. Hwoever, if we are going to praise a man for the good he did, we must also remeber the damage he did also.

Brian Mulroney who hid $250,000.00 in MILA'S panties,

The plan to spring Brian Mulroney from jail must have seemed like a long shot. Brian Mulroney who hid $250,000.00 had been assessed by the Canadian authorities as highly dangerous. The prison, in Kingston, was suitably secure.

It was therefore the optimist among Mulroney's associates ( MILA ) who had the simple idea of faxing the prison authorities from a local grocery store with bogus instructions that "demanded" Brian Mulroney be released. Only an optimist might have believed officials would free their friend on the basis of an absurdly fabricated decree from the Canada's highest court: a document with no letterhead and one littered with spelling and grammatical mistakes. 99.237.239.92

 * Costello, who is considered current Australian Prime Minister John Howard's likely successor when he retires, said he was not expecting an easy rise to the Prime Ministership, admitting that the forthcoming federal election would be difficult.

 * The treasurer said "If you read polls, then Rudd is in front and he's already carrying on as if he's got the election in the bag,"

 * "I would say an election is not over until all of the votes have been counted on the polling day, and I think it will be a hard-fought election."

October 14, 2007

 * Australian Prime Minister calls federal election
 * The Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard has announced that the Australian federal election will be held on November 24, 2007. Howard visited the Governor General of Australia Michael Jeffries earlier today and then announced the news.

 * Mr Howard, the Prime Minister of Australia for over 10 years now, said that the country's "best years lie ahead", but only if the "right leadership" team is in power.

 * "Is it a Government that has a proven track record in those areas? Or is it an inexperienced group of men and women, 70 per cent of whom are former trade union officials?", Mr Howard said. "The right leadership has the experience to further expand the prosperity of the Australian economy."

October 15, 2007

 * Australia Votes 2007: Opposition transport minister speaks to Wikinews on Central NSW freeway
 * In late September, the Howard government announced that it would fund a $20 million engineering study into the construction of a Bells Line expressway across the Blue Mountains, linking Sydney to the Central West of NSW. At the time of the announcement, Federal opposition transport minister, Martin Ferguson accused the federal government of "pork-barreling" on the issue.

 * In an interview with Wikinews, the shadow transport minister warned that a Bells Line expressway could not be built for many years, regardless of the outcome of any study and that people in the Central West want "better roads now". Mr Ferguson said that a Rudd Labor government would upgrade the Great Western Highway now and spend up to $5 million investigating the Bells Line expressway proposal as part of a broader study into the transport needs of Central Western NSW in the medium to long term. He said that $200 million had already been promised by the opposition to upgrade the Great Western Highway between Mount Victoria and Lithgow.

 * The new tax cuts are based on new projections for growth in the Australian economy. The Treasury estimates that the economy will expand by 4.25% in the 12 months to June 2008, up from growth of 3.75% predicted in May.

 * The Government has challenged the Labor opposition to announce their tax policy immediately.

 * "The biggest, boldest tax plan that we've seen in a long time is presented yesterday, it deals with participation, competitiveness, building capacity in the Australian economy, and what does Kevin Rudd say? Nothing," treasurer Peter Costello said. "He better have an answer today."

October 19, 2007

 * Australia Votes 2007: Labor releases tax plan
 * Labor has released its tax plan, following the announcement from the Liberal/National coalition that they would provide tax cuts costing $34 billion if re-elected.

Experts said that Mr Rudd came across as believable and enthusiastic while Mr Howard appeared too negative.

 * On the economy, the Labor leader said that the cost of living had increased in Australia and that increasing the childcare rebate to 50 percent would help struggling families.

 * "Thats putting several thousand dollars extra into the family budget," he said.

 * The Prime Minister tried to reassure voters on industrial relations, one of the key topics of the election saying that despite his Workchoices legislation being controversial it has largely achieved what the government aimed it to do. "Our whole design with WorkChoices was to underpin further growth in the Australian economy. It wasn't easy. It was heavily criticised, but the general evidence is WorkChoices has been good for the Australian economy," said the Prime Minister.

 * Australia Votes 2007: Treasurer says Labor tax plan contains error
 * Australian Treasurer, Peter Costello has attacked the opposition Labor party's tax cuts saying they contain a "basic error". The error Mr Costello claims could cost 45 percent of Australians an additional $600 a year in tax.

 * Speaking at a joint press conference with the Prime Minister, Mr Costello accused Labor of failing to increase tax thresholds. "In order to meet the goal of having 45 per cent of taxpayers on a 15 cent threshold or less you have to keep lifting those thresholds ... and they made a basic error," said the Treasurer.

Two suspects killed in UK bank robbery

September 13, 2007 Two suspected bank robbers were shot and killed by police after an attempted attack against an armoured bank van in Chandler's Ford, near Southampton. A third person is believed to have fled the scene in a blue Volvo, though this has still not been confirmed.

The suspects were thought to have been followed to the site as part of a Metropolitan Police operation and were shot by members of the Flying Squad after they attempted to rob an armoured van. They were shot after Police ran out of nearby toilets and confronted the assailants. The IPCC are already investigating the incident.

The incident occurred at the HSBC bank in the Central Precinct, Chandler's Ford at around 10.10 a.m. BST. Local schools in the area have been locked down although the threat to the local area is low, with police on scene in large numbers.

2007 Twenty20 World Championship: West Indies vs Bangladesh

European Commission might impose embargo on Chinese products

September 13, 2007 The European Commission (EU) is considering the imposition of an embargo on Chinese toys and consumer products. The EU Commissioner for Consumer Protection, Meglena Kuneva, said the aim is to increase pressure on the Chinese government to intensify its quality control in the manufacture of toys, toothpaste and certain food items.

Mattel, the world's largest toy producer, recently launched a massive product recall of Chinese-made products because their paint may contain excessive amounts of lead.

China has until October to respond with a detailed plan on how it will increase its monitoring of product safety; if it fails to respond, Kuneva announced, some products will be banned.

In testimony before the European Parliament on the twelfth of September, Kuneva underlined the necessity to protect children from possible harm: "My main message to our Chinese counterparts was that Europe does not and would not accept compromises when the safety of consumers, and in particular of children, is at stake."
