Wikinews:Briefs/April 27, 2010

Intro
From wikinews, the free news source, this is the audio wikinews brief for Tuesday, April 27th, 2010. I'm Dan Harlow and here are today's top stories:

Sudanese president declared winner of elections (0:17)
Sudanese president, Omar al-Bashir, has been declared the winner of this month's elections, after the first multiparty polls in 24 years. In a separate election, Salva Kiir, a former rebel leader, was declared president of the semi-autonomous southern Sudan.

According to the Sudanese election commission, al-Bashir won 68% of the vote, while Salva Kiir obtained 93% of the vote out of slightly more than 2.5 million total votes.

Two of al-Bashir's main opponents withdrew before the voting began, accusing the polling process of being rigged and observers along with the opposition have complained of fraud.

Al-Bashir is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes, although al-Bashir denies the allegations.

Gulf of Mexico oil spill expanding; submarines to try to stop leak (1:10)
Officials are using a robotic submersible vehicle to stop an oil leak after an explosion destroyed the Deepwater Horizon oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico last Thursday.

An estimated 42,000 gallons of oil a day have been leaking from a pipe on the ocean floor called a riser, which is a spring tensioned pipe that runs between the sea floor and the rig. The remotely operated submersible is attempting to engage a device known as a blowout preventer, which is a large valve which can seal the well shut to prevent a sudden release of pressure within the well, such as the one that may have caused the rig to explode. According to BP, the company that operates the well, the attempt is the first of its kind in the world.

The environmental impact of the spill on wildlife is currently unknown; there have been no reports of animal casualties, though whales were seen in the vicinity of the spill yesterday. Officials say an oil slick on the surface of the ocean is estimated to cover an area about 48 by 39 miles at its widest points and that it could begin to impact coastal regions by Thursday.

Should the submersibles fail in their attempt to close the blowout preventer, two other possible ways to contain the oil spill are possible. One option would be to install a large dome over the leak and send the collected oil to the surface, where it would be collected by ships. This has been done before, although only in shallow water. The second option is to drill an entirely new well that would intersect the original, although this could take months to complete.

115 of the 126 workers on board the rig at the time of the explosion were rescued, however, 11 still remain missing.

Snap election fails to end political deadlock in Nauru (3:04)
A snap election on the island nation of Nauru in Micronesia, has failed to end a political deadlock with all eighteen members of parliament having been re-elected. President Marcus Stephen called this early election in the hopes that he could gain a clear mandate in Parliament which is currently evenly split with nine Members of Parliament representing both political parties. Because neither side can decide who should be speaker of the house, a government cannot be formed.

President Stephen has attempted to revitalize Nauru, but during his term in office, he has been faced with numerous issues. Nauru was once one of the richest countries in the world due to its phosphate mineral deposits, but because of bad investments, the nation has become one of the poorest and now relies upon aid from Russia. For the time being, Stephen will remain in power with a caretaker government.

Hungarian conservative party wins majority in parliament (4:01)
The conservative party of Hungary, known as Fidesz, a Hungarian acronym which translates into "Alliance of Young Democrats", has won a two-thirds majority in parliament, according to official results.

With about 99% of all votes counted, Fidesz is projected to have won 263 seats in the 386-seat parliament, ending eight years of Socialist government.

The incumbent Socialists placed a distant second, obtaining 59 seats, while the far-right Jobbik took 47 seats. A new Green party, called Politics Can Be Different, received sixteen seats, and an independent candidate took the remaining seat.

With this power change, Fidesz now has the ability to unilaterally alter the constitution, having more than the required two-thirds majority - or 258 seats - needed to do so.

Viktor Orbán, the leader of Fidesz, is widely considered to take office as Prime Minister.

Smoke bomb thrown in Ukrainian parliament during naval base debate (5:03)
Chaos broke out in the Ukrainian parliament as several smoke bombs were thrown during a debate about the extended lease on a Russian naval base in Ukraine. Members of parliament were seen fighting on the chamber floor while opposition MPs threw eggs at the speaker of the house.

It is not clear who threw the smoke bombs, although opposition MPs were thought to be responsible, but the debate continued despite the lingering smoke and chaos. The speaker had to be protected by two aides holding umbrellas and politicians held handkerchiefs to their mouths.

Along with the brawling MPs, thousands of people waited outside the parliament building protesting the extended lease.

The Russians have offered Ukraine cheaper supplies of Russian natural gas in exchange for a further 25 years on the lease of the naval base which was currently set to end in 2017.

After the chaos had calmed down, MPs voted on the agreement and the deal extending the lease was backed 236 to 214. The deal was then put forward in the Russian lower house of parliament, where all 410 Russian MPs voted in favor of the deal.

New Zealander William Trubridge breaks freediving world record, Australian rules football: 2010 Gippsland Football League round 3 - Morwell v Traralgon (6:17)
In sports today, 29-year-old William Trubridge from New Zealand set a new freediving record on Sunday, reaching a depth of 116 meters (380 feet) in the Atlantic Ocean, holding his breath for four minutes nine seconds — breaking the world record for the deepest free immersion dive.

Trubridge wore a silicon-coated wetsuit and used the breaststroke and a set of fins to plunge into world's deepest blue hole, a submarine cave, in a bay west of Clarence Town on Long Island, in the Bahamas.

Trubridge already holds nine world records, and the dive put him into first place in the "Vertical Blue Suunto Dive-Off" competition.

On the other side of the planet, at Morwell, Victoria, in Australian rules football, Traralgon cemented the top spot in round three of the 2010 Gippsland Football League with a thirty-three-point win over Morwell.

Traralgon are on top in the series with three wins, ahead of Maffra on percentage and a game clear of Sale and Morwell. Drouin rounds out the top five a game further back.

 * Music credit Bagatelle in A minor ("Für Elise"), WoO 59, by Ludwig van Beethoven

In 1810, Ludwig van Beethoven composes his famous piano piece, Für Elise. While it is uncertain who Elsie was, perhaps a mistress or a friend whom rejected his marriage proposal, whoever she was, his love for her has endured for two centuries through this beautiful composition.

US official warns of Hezbollah missile threat

April 29, 2010US Defense Secretary, along with Israeli defense minister , warned yesterday that that the guerrilla group Hezbollah was in possession of more weapons than some governments.

Gates, after meeting with Barak, said that both Syria and Iran were responsible for providing weapons of "ever increasing capability" to Hezbollah, although he declined to confirm that the group had gained possession of ballistic missiles called that are capable of reaching targets within Iran. According to Gates, Hezbollah's military capabilities were "obviously destabilising for the whole region."

Barak said that missiles owned by Hezbollah had the potential to "disrupt the very delicate balance in Lebanon," although he stated that a military conflict as a result of the transfer of weapons to Hezbollah was unlikely. He said that "We [Israel] do not intend to provoke any kind of major collision in Lebanon, or vis-a-vis Syria," though he added that "we are watching closely these developments and think that they do not contribute to stability in the region."

Syria has denied the charges of providing Hezbollah with weapons, saying that Israel intended to "further strain the atmosphere in the region." The country's prime minister also commented that Israel was only trying to find an excuse for military action.

Hezbollah in 2006 launched thousands of missiles into Israel during the 2006 Lebanon War, and Israel is concerned that it has replenished its armament to the extent that it could attack Israel on behalf of Iran if the latter, which provides both arms and monetary aid to Hezbollah, came under attack from Israel. These concerns were confirmed by an American report released last week, which said that Hezbollah had indeed rearmed itself to higher levels than during the 2006 conflict.

User talk:Rintu~enwikinews

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 Rintu. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Rintu~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.

Controversial wind farm approved by US government

April 30, 2010

The US government today approved plans for a controversial wind power project off the coast of in Massachusetts, which, if built, would be the nation's first offshore wind farm.

The company responsible for the project,, received a permit from the federal government to commence construction of the wind farm, which was announced by Interior Secretary in Boston. Salazar said in statements at the event that he was "approving the Cape Wind project," which would "be the first of many projects up and down the Atlantic coast." Massachusetts governor said that "America needs offshore wind power, and with this project, Massachusetts will lead the nation." He also commented that "Cape Wind is good for our environment and good for our energy needs," despite opposition from some groups.

Construction of the wind farm in the near future is not certain, as there are additional regulatory procedures the company must complete, and opponents have threatened to take the project to court. According to the leader of the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, a group opposed to the wind farm's construction, numerous permits related to the project were being appealed, and close to a dozen parties intend to sue the project, claiming it violates environmental regulations.

Supporters of the project say that it will provide up to 75% of the power for the region, and will benefit the environment by providing a clean and renewable source of power, as well as providing hundreds of new jobs in the area during construction of the wind farm. Opponents, which included deceased US Senator, claim it will destroy the natural beauty of the region, and will raise the costs of electricity in the area.

Thai police, protesters in violent clashes; at least one dead

April 29, 2010Protesters in Thailand clashed today with government police, killing at least one soldier and wounding eighteen more in what media reported as being a "very tense and intense standoff."

The violence, unusually outside of the center of Bangkok, included Thai security forces firing on protesters, apparently with both rubber bullets and live ammunition, which police had been authorized to use in self-defense. The conflict took place along a highway that a convoy of protesters was travelling along; government forces were trying to disperse the demonstrators.

Casualties of the fighting included one dead — a soldier apparently killed by friendly fire — and at least eighteen injured, including eight demonstrators. Government forces had, according to reports, fired both into the air and into the protestors from behind defenses such as razor wire and concrete pilings in an attempt to disperse the crowd.

The demonstrators have largely paralyzed the city of Bangkok for the past seven weeks in protests that have killed at least 26 people. Largely rural and urban poor, they say they will not leave until the Thai prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, resigns and new elections are held; many support former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, and consider they were deprived of their votes when he was ousted in a coup in 2006. The fighting has led to constant rumors of a military crackdown on the city.

Thread:Comments:Stephen Hawking: aliens "almost certain to exist," could invade Earth/Comments from feedback form - "i think that this news should ..."/reply

People are entrenched in their belief systems and get irate when somebody tries to help correct errors in the logic. Robert Milikan proved the electrical charge of an electron by the oil drop experiment using electrical charge to levitate a drop of oil and knowing the mass.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil-drop_experiment

In this video a guy levitates a heavy metal ball using high frequencies.

http://secretsun.blogspot.com/2009/03/david-sereda-on-nasa-ufos-time-travel.html

The errors can be explained more simply using the Pythagorean Theorem. People think of it as a two dimensional equation f(x), but it is a three dimensional equation f(x,y) and does not compute in a two dimensional plane. The Pythagorean Theorem is the equation of a cone. It is also a simpified equation of a circle, hence a circle is three dimensional. When you get closer to the origin, it does not compute and becomes three dimensional causing levitation.

F(x,y)=X^2+y^2

Increasing electrical charge or increasing frequency gets us closer to the center. The contour integral of nothing is a pole in a circular path. As you get closer to the center, you get levitation. This can be seen in 3D anamorphic art.

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/115/283204027_5247242acb_o.jpg

This has nothing to do with electrons, protons and neutrons.

Thread:Comments:Dale Ogden, 2010 California gubernatorial candidate, talks with Wikinews/On global warming

Just thought I'd point out that not all libertarians, or even all Libertarian Party members, are in agreement with Mr. Ogden's views on global warming. My own views are more in line with those of the Cato Institute perhaps most cogently summarized in the "Climate of Extremes: Global Warming Science They Don't Want You to Know" book.

The central thesis is that there is some degree of human contribution to global warming, but that it's small and that the degree of warming itself is also small and won't have sufficiently dramatic effects to justify the extremely burdensome remedies often proposed and advanced, which would in any case have very modest or negligible effects themselves.

I also believe that market forces created by decline in the supply of fossil fuels will motivate exploration of alternatives without the help of regulation. In fact, these alternatives already show significant promise at current energy prices, though there's still a need to develop the technology to maturity. In a way, it's a good thing that the reserves are finite, because if they were not, the growth trend of fuel usage, extrapolated sufficiently far into the future, would indeed bring about the catastrophe that climate change proponents predict. The increasing costs of extraction and viability of alternatives will, however, dampen the rate of growth of fuel consumption and the "end of the world" will run out of gas, to most people's relief.

Wikinews:Briefs/April 28, 2010

Intro
From Wikinews, the free news source, this is the Audio Wikinews Brief for Wednesday, April 28th, 2010. I'm Dan Harlow and here are today's top stories:

Suicide bombing in Afghanistan kills three, 35 injured (0:17)
A suicide bombing near an airfield in Kandahar, Afghanistan yesterday killed at least three people and injured a further 35.

According to a commander of southern Afghan armed forces, Sher Mohammed Zazai, the explosion hit the airfield as well as a compound giving logistical help to NATO troops.

A correspondent for Al Jazeera in Kabul reports at least three suicide bombers were involved in the attack. The news agency also attributed the attack to the Taleban.

This attack comes soon after the United Nations said it would be closing its Kandahar office temporarily due to concerns about security. At least twenty civilians, among them eight children, have been killed in attacks in Kandahar since April 12.

Officials: US drone strike kills five in Pakistan (1:05)
Across the border in Pakistan, officials have said that missiles fired from a U.S. drone aircraft killed at least five suspected rebels in the northwest part of the country near the Afghan border on Monday.

Authorities say three missiles struck a compound about 25 kilometers east of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan.

This is the second drone strike made by a US unmanned aerial vehicles in the area within two days; on Saturday, seven people were killed in another such attack.

On this day in history (1:37)
In 1789, about 1,300 miles west of Tahiti, near Tonga, Fletcher Christian, the master's mate on board the Royal Navy ship HMAV Bounty, led a mutiny against the ship's commander William Bligh.

Outro
And those are the top headlines for Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Talk:US official warns of Hezbollah missile threat

Iran?
This line "that are able of reaching targets within Iran" does not seem to be clear. It implies that Hezbollah would want to launch the missiles into Iran, which is not true since Iran has been a staunch supporter of Hezbollah. It might be more accurate to say the missiles could reach targets within Israel? This line in the BBC article reads, "the group had obtained long-range Scud missiles capable of hitting targets across the Jewish state." Turtlestack (talk) 20:23, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

This is how a flying saucer works. Once you levitate, you can travel through time because time and distance are perpendicular.

Proof:

E=mc^2

m=E/c^2

m=E/(meters/seconds)^2

When meters=0, m=Infinity

When seconds=0,m=0

m=Infinity*Cosine(0)=Infinity

m=Infinity*Cosine(90)=0

Wikinews talk:Briefs/April 28, 2010

Newsworthiness
Tempodivalse, you bring up a good point. I've been wondering why we publish these briefs as well for the exact reason you bring up. I've only been publishing them because that's what the last person did so I just kinda went along with it. But, in all honesty, I'd be fine not having to publish these since it's better for the reader just to go to the main article anyway and it would be one less thing to have to do. Turtlestack (talk) 03:37, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, imo, the point of these are to provide a readable version for AW and to publicize the project so that Turtlestack can get more help from other and we can possibly pull in a larger audience. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  03:42, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, they weren't published. To be published means passing a peer review, have the publish, and be sighted. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  03:45, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * We've published briefs in the past? I don't recall ... to the contrary, we generally add category:No publish to them. Mikemoral, I can understand your idea that this helps publicise the project, but to me it seems rather silly to be publishing almost verbatim duplicate articles. Maybe just advertise audio wikinews in a template on the main page or something instead? Tempodivalse [talk]  03:46, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * IIRC, there are other pages besides User:Brian McNeil/test Main that use a template for the PE and for AW. And the one that link to -- Mike moral  ♪♫  03:50, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that if someone hosts the audio file on their site, say such as a blog that archives posts, then they will probably want to point the link to a specific date here at wikinews, such as "Category:April 13, 2010". However, most sites would only want to stream the AW and just have a link somewhere that plays the most recent AW with a link pointing to wikinews.org and not a separate summary page. I think the only thing that would be needed is just to add the AW file so that it shows up whenever someone starts clicking through individual dates in the archives. Turtlestack (talk) 04:25, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * (unindent) News briefs should not be published. (they should not be category:No publish either). They should have category:Brief on them. Bawolff ☺☻ 20:46, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Do I just use the code

and should I also use :

as well?

I'm still learning all the code, so just let me know what I should add to the template. Thank you. Turtlestack (talk) 21:30, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Just use:

(and really the category:Wikinews audio and Category:Audio Wikinews News Briefs are superflous). Don't do review either. category:Brief and the date category are the two really important ones (we didn't used to use them. I don't know why they were introduced). Cheers. Bawolff ☺☻ 21:55, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool, thank you. I'll update the code on the templates. Should I also go back and change it on the previous briefs that I already published (starting on April 16) or just leave them as is? Turtlestack (talk) 22:55, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

"Protesters in Thailand clashed today" ?? No, it was yesterday, Wednesday; keep in mind you are writing for a world-wide audience. And far too many commas... Doesn't name the location and road like real news articles have.

User talk:Cyanide~enwikinews

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 Cyanide. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cyanide~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.

UN official: DR Congo is ‘rape capital of the world’

April 30, 2010

A top United Nations official has called the Democratic Republic of the Congo the "rape capital of the world". The UN's special representative on sexual violence in conflict,, said that the UN Security Council needs to "punish the perpetrators in DR Congo".

Data collected by the UN shows that 200,000 cases of sexual assault have been reported in the last 14 years, 8,000 of which occurred last year and 1,244 of which occurred in the first three months of 2010. The UN's mission has been trying to combat the problem by escorting women when they go to market and working closely with the local officials.

Wallstrom released a statement after returning from a visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She said: "Women have no rights, if those who violate their rights go unpunished. If women continue to suffer sexual violence, it is not because the law is inadequate to protect them, but because it is inadequately enforced.

The issued a report in April showing that in, an eastern province in DR Congo, 60% of the women raped were raped by armed men. More than half were raped in their own home, and more civilians are committing the attacks than ever before.

Despite the country's war ending in 2003, DR Congo is still plagued with militia violence.

Algerian driver released by hostage takers in Niger

April 30, 2010

An Algerian driver has been released by his hostage takers in Niger. The man was abducted on April 20 along with a French tourist he was driving.

The Frenchman, who is in his 70s, is still being held hostage; the pair were taken at gunpoint near the Mali and Algerian boarders. The gunmen are reported to have links to al-Qaeda.

It is reported that the driver was released in the last few days and has already returned to Algeria. Apparently, he was released in the Mali desert and made his own way back to Algeria. "Some people riding camels found him wandering. After some explanations, they took him to Algeria," said a Nigerien military source to the Reuters news service.

The pair were abducted only days after four countries near the Sahara opened a military base to combat al-Qaeda. The vicinity in which the kidnapping took place is known as the "red zone"; foreign offices recommend that tourists avoid the area near the Sahara.

Hostage takings have become more frequent with governments having more trouble controlling the problem. Recently the Mali government sparked a row with Mauritania over the release of four militants.

"Bigoted woman": controversial Gordon Brown remarks caught on air

April 29, 2010 UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown is now at the centre of controversy when, on Thursday, a live microphone caught him describing a voter he had talked to as being a "bigoted woman".

The incident occurred after Brown, encouraged by his advisors to interact with ordinary people more often before next week's parliamentary elections, went for a walkabout in the town of, located near Manchester. There, he spoke with Gillian Duffy, aged 65, who challenged him on topics such as health and education, before asking about immigration: "All those Eastern Europeans what are coming in, where are they flocking from?" she asked him.

Brown responded by saying that "[a] million people come from Europe, but a million people, British people, have gone into Europe." The prime minister, upon finishing the discussion, said it was "very nice to meet you" and returned to his car.

Unbeknownst to him, however, the Sky News microphone attached to his lapel was still turned on and picked up the conversation that followed inside the vehicle: "That was a disaster ... they should never have put me with that woman," Brown said. "Whose idea was that? It’s just ridiculous." When an aide asked what Duffy had said, Brown responded: "Everything, she was just a bigoted woman that said she used to be Labour [...] I don't know why Sue [an aide] brought her up towards me."

The PM, upon being informed what had happened, returned to Duffy's home to personally apologise. "Sometimes you do make mistakes and you use wrong words, and once you’ve used that word and you’ve made a mistake, you should withdraw it and say profound apologies, and that’s what I’ve done," he said. During an interview with the BBC, Brown is seen with his head in hands as the comments were replayed.

Duffy, speaking to reporters immediately after having talked with the PM, described Brown as being "very nice", but later said she was "very upset" when informed what Brown had said off-camera. "Why has he come out with words like that? He's supposed to be leading the country and he's calling an ordinary woman who's come up and asked questions that most people would ask him," she said in an interview with the BBC.

"[...] It's going to be tax, tax, tax for another twenty years to get out of this national debt, and he's calling me a bigot," later adding: "I want to know why — them [sic] comments I made there — why I was called a bigot." A spokesman for Brown said: "Mr Brown has apologised to Mrs Duffy personally by phone. He does not think that she is bigoted. He was letting off steam in the car after a difficult conversation. But this is exactly the sort of conversation that is important in an election campaign and which he will continue to have with voters."

Media and opposition parties react
Some political analysts have said the gaffe may hurt Labour's chances in the upcoming elections; the party had managed to narrow the Conservatives' lead in recent opinion polls.

The Conservatives responded to the incident — dubbed by some media outlets as "Bigotgate" — with Shadow chancellor George Osborne saying that "general elections [...] do reveal the truth about people."

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg, meanwhile said: "You should always try to answer the questions as best you can. He has been recorded saying what he has said and will have to answer for that."

Andrew Russell, a politics lecturer for, commented on the situation. "A politician in a stronger position could recover from this. What we know is that Gordon Brown is not in that position."

Thread:Comments:"Bigoted woman": controversial Gordon Brown remarks caught on air/Yup

Of course this will hurt his campaign, even though what he said was true. People hate being reminded that they are bigots. Everyone who hears this story will paste their own idea of what a sweet old nanna is like on top of this woman who might be a total nutbar. Then its like Gordon Brown insulted your grandma. Its entirely possible that these same people, upon meeting said woman, would react identically to Mr. Brown, however no one will take this into consideration when they crucify him come election.

Taliban commander reportedly alive, despite claims of January death

April 30, 2010According to Pakistani intelligence, the leader of the in Pakistan,, is still alive, contradicting claims by US and Pakistani officials that he was killed in a January drone attack.

At the time of the attack, officials reported that Mehsud was killed along with ten other rebels, but Pakistani sources now say he was only wounded in the attack. According to unidentified sources, his authority within the Taliban had significantly diminished after the attack, and is now overshadowed by other commanders such as. Four officers from Pakistan's main spy agency said that they believed Mehsud was alive, citing both surveillance of the Taliban, as well as reports from sources within the Taliban.

Despite his apparent survival, US defense officials downplayed the significance of the revelation. A spokesman for the Pentagon in Washington, DC said that there was "no evidence" that Mehsud was "executing or exerting authority over the Pakistan Taliban as he once did", adding: "I don't know if that reflects him being alive or dead, but he clearly is not running the Pakistani Taliban anymore."

The Taliban continuously denied reports Mehsud was killed, although they refused to offer proof such as videos, saying it could pin Mehsud to a specific location. According to the BBC, however, claims that Mehsud had been killed were always suspect, as the Taliban neither officially announced his death nor announced a new leader that would have taken his place - both common practices.

Wikinews:Briefs/April 29, 2010

Intro
From Wikinews, the free news source, this is the Audio Wikinews Brief for Thursday, April 29th, 2010. I'm Dan Harlow and here are today's top stories:

US official warns of Hezbollah missile threat (0:16)
US Defense Secretary Robert Gates, along with Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak, issued a statement claiming that Hezbollah, the Shi'a Islamist political and paramilitary organization based in Lebanon, is in possession of more weapons than some governments.

Following a meeting with Barak, Gates said that both Syria and Iran were responsible for providing weapons of "ever increasing capability" to Hezbollah, although he declined to confirm that the group had gained possession of ballistic missiles called Scuds that are capable of striking targets across Israel. Gates said of Hezbollah's military capabilities, that they were "obviously destabilizing for the whole region.". Barak reiterated the sentiment of destabilization in the region, but does not foresee a military conflict over the current situation.

Syrian Prime Minister 	Muhammad Naji al-Otari denied arming Hezbollah and added that Israel is only trying to find an excuse for military action.

During the 2006 Lebanon War, Hezbollah launched thousands of missiles into Israel and according to an American report released last week, Hezbollah had indeed rearmed itself to higher levels than during the 2006 conflict.

Thai police, protesters in violent clashes; at least one dead (1:32)
There was more violence in Thailand today as protesters clashed with government police killing at least one soldier and wounding eighteen.

The conflict took place along a highway that a convoy of protesters was traveling along when Thai security forces, attempting to disperse the demonstrators, fired on protesters, apparently with both rubber bullets and live ammunition, which police had been authorized to use in self-defense.

The demonstrators have largely paralyzed the city of Bangkok for the past seven weeks in protests that have killed at least 26 people. Largely rural and urban poor, the protesters say they will not leave until the Thai prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, resigns and new elections are held. Many support former PM Thaksin Shinawatra and believe they were deprived of their votes when he was ousted in a coup in 2006.

New Jersey students protest proposed budget cuts (2:25)
An estimated 18,000 New Jersey public school students walked out of classes Tuesday, in protest of Governor Chris Christie's proposed budget cuts. Spurred by a Facebook event calling on students to skip classes and picket their local school boards, the leader of the group, former student Michelle Ryan Lauto, said that she wanted to draw attention to the issue and show the govenor that students are not apathetic towards the quality of their education.

The state's largest teachers union, the New Jersey Education Association, said that the students should not walk-out on classes. The governor's office also responded to the protests stating that they hoped this was just a case of youthful rebellion and not a one sided view of the current budget crisis in New Jersey. The demonstration came soon after voters in 59% of the state school districts opposed a proposal to increase property tax levies to pay for schools.

"Bigoted woman": controversial Gordon Brown remarks caught on air (3:24)
UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has caught himself up in a bit of a row, now being called "Bigotgate", when a live microphone caught him describing a voter he had talked to as being a "bigoted woman". The incident occurred after Brown, encouraged by his advisors to interact with ordinary people more often before next week's parliamentary elections, spoke with 65 year old Gillian Duffy. Duffy challenged him on topics such as health and education, before asking about immigration.

Unbeknownst to him, however, the Sky News microphone attached to his lapel was still turned on and picked up the conversation that followed inside his vehicle. Brown commented that the discussion was "a disaster" and he wondered aloud which of his advisors allowed Duffy to speak with him. When an aide asked what Duffy had said, Brown responded: "Everything, she was just a bigoted woman that said she used to be Labour".

Duffy, speaking to reporters immediately after having talked with the PM, described Brown as being "very nice", but later said she was "very upset" when informed of what Brown had said off-camera. The PM, upon being informed of what happened, returned to Duffy's home to personally apologize.

Some political analysts have said the gaffe may hurt Labour's chances in the upcoming elections having recently managed to narrow the Conservatives' lead in recent opinion polls.

Sixteen-year-old boy charged with murder over use of Playstation in Chile (4:52)
A sixteen-year-old boy from Santiago, Chile has been charged with the murder of his brother after the pair got in a fight over whose turn it was to use their PlayStation 3. Police reported that the sixteen-year-old had stabbed his eighteen-year-old brother in the chest after he turned the PlayStation on without his younger brother’s permission. If convicted, the boy could face five years in prison.

The boys were home alone when the attack occurred; their guardian, a Belgian woman who adopted the pair after their birth mother abandoned them ten years ago, had been visiting her home country.

On this day in history (5:28)
In 1945, Heinrich Wicker, a German Non Commissioned Officer, formally surrendered the Dachau concentration camp to the 42nd Rainbow Division of the United States Army. Approximately 32,000 prisoners were liberated and 300 SS camp guards were taken into custody; some of whom were shot and killed after surrendering by American troops who were horrified upon seeing the conditions of the camp.

Thread:Comments:Gulf of Mexico oil spill expanding; submarines to try to stop leak/Drill Baby Drill/reply (4)

It is amazing Transocean, owning 140 operational rigs worldwide, utilizes no preventive technology for this scenario. I remember there was safety system for natural gas lines in the home that would drop a ball bearing into the pipe during an earthquake. This would block the gas, limiting the risk of explosion or fire. Is it not as simple as this? How about a large depleted uranium rod/stopper that drops down the line if certain shear or torsion tolerances are surpassed. A locking mechanism may be required, a more stable metal or even an activation button but you get the idea.
