UK elections: Hung parliament, Cameron to negotiate with Liberal Democrats, Voters turned away from polling stations in UK general elections (0:44)
In our top story, a day after general elections were held in the UK, results indicate there will be a hung parliament — where no party obtains the simple majority needed to pass legislation on its own — raising the prospect of a minority or coalition government being formed, which would require cooperation between parties.

With only one constituency not yet counted, David Cameron's Conservatives have taken 306 seats, incumbent Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Labour party 258 seats, and Nick Clegg with his Liberal Democrats with 57. Cameron has said he will negotiate with the latter party to try and form a coalition to attain more than 325 seats, or half those in the parliament.

After Labour's large losses at the polls yesterday, both in terms of seats and votes, Cameron said Brown has "lost his mandate to govern". Clegg, meanwhile, says he thinks the result allows the Conservatives to try to form a government first, contrary to past tradition, under which the incumbent prime minister and his party in a hung parliament try first to form a coalition.

Clegg described his party's performance as "disappointing" during the night, as they had failed to make any significant advances in their target seats. Overall, the general swing varied, with all parties failing to gain many of their targets, and suffering unexpected losses in others.

In a short statement outside Downing Street, Gordon Brown stated that if any negotiations between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats failed, he would be prepared to form an alliance with Nick Clegg, offering "far-reaching political reform", in reference to the Liberals' long held position that the UK's first past the post voting system must be reformed into some form of proportional representation system, historically opposed by the Conservatives.

Brown, however, has made it clear he has no intention of stepping down as PM, saying he has "a duty as Prime Minister to take all steps to ensure Britain has a strong, stable and principled government".

Under British parliamentary convention, in the event of a hung parliament, Brown remains Prime Minister and the Labour Government continues to operate until it is demonstrated it cannot command a majority. The Government effectively gave approval for talks to begin by giving civil servants permission to support all parties in hung parliament negotiations.

The turmoil in UK politics was also felt at the citizen level as scores of polling stations were unable to cope with one of the highest voter turn outs in thirty years, leaving thousands of voters unable to cast their vote in yesterday's general election.

Police had to intervene in some areas when angry voters refused to leave after the 10.00pm deadline and at other polling stations, voters were turned away before ten when the stations ran out of ballot papers. A late surge in voter registrations also saw hundreds of voters eligible to vote but unable to do so because electoral rolls had not been updated.

The Electoral Commission sets national standards for elections, and promised an inquiry into elections where people were unable to vote.

US stocks see 9% drop before making recovery, US economy added 390,000 jobs last month, unemployment at 9.9% (3:58)
Moving on now to the US economic sector; the latest figures from the US government say that the country's economy gained 290,000 jobs in April, the largest single-month gain since March 2006.

According to the Labor Department, excluding temporary workers for this year's census, the number of non-farm jobs increased by a seasonally adjusted 224,000.

The unemployment rate, meanwhile, increased from 9.7% to 9.9%; the apparent contradiction is because 195,000 people who previously gave up searching for jobs started looking for work again, entering the labor force and augmenting the jobless rate.

The increases were larger than expected by economic analysts; according to a survey done by MarketWatch, economists believed the country would have added 185,000 jobs for last month.

News of job growth was tempered, however, after US stock markets saw an unusually turbulent day yesterday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) losing almost a thousand points in thirty minutes, although later recovering somewhat to end the day with a smaller loss to close with down 3.30% or 347.80 points to a level of 10,520.

According to some reports, the quick loss happened because a trader mistyped an order to sell a large amount of stock, causing the stock price to go down enough to trigger orders to sell elsewhere in the market.

However, Chief investment officer at Fort Pitt Capital Group Charlie Smith said: "I think the machines just took over. There's not a lot of human interaction. We've known that automated trading can run away from you, and I think that's what we saw happen today."

Some stocks saw extreme, but short, changes; for instance, consulting firm Accenture saw its shares plummet from about $42 to four cents, although it later rebounded to close the day at $41.09 and stock for the Procter & Gamble company fell almost 37% during the sell-off, about 75 minutes to the closing bell.

Meanwhile, oil prices also dropped to lows not reached since February. Benchmark crude was down $2.86 to $77.11 in New York.

Delaware senator Edward Kaufman said of the situation, "The battle of the algorithms — not understood by nor even remotely transparent to the Securities and Exchange Commission — simply must be carefully reviewed and placed within a meaningful regulatory framework soon." Kaufman, along with senator Mark Warner from Virginia, called on Congress to investigate the cause of the mass sell-offs.

In the past three days, the DJIA has lost 631 points, or 5.7%, mainly over concerns about Greece's ailing, debt-burdened economy. Peter Boockvar an equity strategist for Miller Tabak, commented: "The market is now realizing that Greece is going to go through a depression over the next couple of years. Europe is a major trading partner of ours, and this threatens the entire global growth story."

And finally,

On this day in history (7:03)
In 1915, Leslie Morton, an eighteen year old lookout on the bow of the RMS Lusitania, spotted a torpedo in the water which had been fired from Unterseeboot 20, a German submarine commanded by Walther Schwieger. The torpedo struck Lusitania under her bridge and according to Schwieger's captains log, "An unusually heavy explosion takes place with a very strong explosive cloud. The explosion of the torpedo must have been followed by a second one ..."

At this point in his log, we wonders if the second explosion had been from the boiler or possibly coal or powder igniting, then continues his entry, stating "... The ship stops immediately and heels over to starboard very quickly, immersing simultaneously at the bow... the name Lusitania becomes visible in golden letters".

On board the Lusitania, an SOS is sent out and Captain William Thomas Turner, who was known as "Bowler Bill", gave the order to abandon ship. By now, water was flooding the ship's starboard longitudinal compartments, causing a 15-degree list to starboard. Captain Turner tried turning the ship toward the Irish coast in the hope of beaching her, but the helm would not respond because the torpedo had knocked out the steam lines to the steering motor. Meanwhile, the ship's propellers continued to drive the ship at 18 knots, forcing more water into her hull.

Despite Turner's efforts to beach the liner and reduce her speed, Lusitania did not answer the helm. According to Schwieger, who had been observing the disaster through U-20's periscope, there was panic and disorder on the decks. At 14:25, he finally dropped periscope and headed out to sea.

Later in the war, Schwieger was killed in action when, as commander of U-88, he was chased by HMS Stonecrop, hit a British mine, and sank on 5 September 1917. There were no survivors from U-88's sinking. Since the sinking of Lusitania, Schwieger had been condemned in the Allied press as a war criminal.

Captain Turner remained on the bridge of Lusitania until the water rushed upward and destroyed the sliding door leading onto the bridge, washing him overboard and into the sea. He had managed to take the ship's logbook and charts with him as he escaped the rapidly sinking Lusitania and found a chair floating in the water which he clung to. He was pulled unconscious from the water, and survived despite having spent three hours in the water.

By the time it was over, Lusitania sank in 18 minutes eight miles off the Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland, taking 1,198 lives with her.

In the aftermath of the sinking, the German government tried to justify it by claiming in an official statement that she had been armed with guns, and had "large quantities of war material" in her cargo. Lusitania had been carrying, according to her manifest, an estimated 4,200,000 rounds of rifle cartridges, 1,250 empty shell cases, and 18 cases of non-explosive fuses, but the cartridges were not officially classed as ammunition by the Cunard Line, the company who owned the vessel.

The sinking turned public opinion in many countries against Germany, and was instrumental in bringing the United States, which up to this point had been reluctant to enter into European hostilities, into World War I.

Talk:Ice Hockey: Detroit Red Wings beat San Jose Sharks 7-1 in fourth NHL quarter final match

Fail?
Um, it isn't the quarter finals, its the SEMI finals.. I dont know how you got a job but its game 5 in san jose, not GAME 6... So if san jose wins GAME 5, they go to the CONFERENCE FINALS... I think you should fix it up cause it's misleading and some false info.

 * It would also be nice if the article actually mentioned what sport they were playing. I know what the NHL is; I doubt a number of others I know do. I really doubt Petros in Greece has a clue. Even NHL is only mentioned in the title. Bluntly, this article should never have passed review in its present state. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 12:37, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Template:Peer reviewed/doc

See WN:REV for information on the relevant policy.

Description
This template is used to advertise on an article's talk page the result of a review. It is designed to be simple to use, yet informative.

Please consider returning an article to development with a comment on additional work needed prior to review, and notifying the original contributor, if you do not go through all the steps of the review process. A copy of the develop template with any parameters will display in red, and should ideally be placed at the top of the article to draw attention to it.

Use [Using Easy Peer Review]

 * First of all, make sure you are a reviewer, or this won't work. Also make sure you are on a page that is currently up for review (has review on it).  You will also need to have javascript enabled for this to work (which you probably already have).
 * Find the review tab. This should be on the drop down menu in vector (See image on right), or a tab on the top of the page in monobook (beside the history tab).
 * If all else fails, you can also get to it by typing  in the address bar and hitting enter. (This will work even if the article is not up for review, so make sure that the article is up for review before doing that.) If that doesn't work, it means the gadget did not load properly, in which case, notify user:Bawolff.
 * A form should popup (See [[media:EasyPeerReview-filling out.png|image]] for example). Fill it out, hit submit and the gadget should take care of the rest.

Use [manual]
It's highly recommended that you use the EasyPeerReview method above instead.

 * Revision ID is the number of the revision that has been reviewed. This is obtained from the History page of an article — it is the number after "oldid" in the current revision in the URL.
 * Status is pass for a passed section, n/a for not reviewed, or comments for a failed section.

Note: After placing this on the talk page, you must still remove review from the article, add publish, and create the opinion page with. Using Easy Peer Review avoids all these additional steps.

Checklist
When reviewing an article, you should check the following:
 * Copyright: The reviewer should check that the text and images are not copyright infringement.
 * Newsworthiness: The reviewer should check that the article agrees with our content guide and is newsworthy.
 * Verifiability: The reviewer should check that all information in the article is fully sourced, (using multiple independent sources is strongly encouraged) or has adequate Original Reporting notes.
 * Neutral Point of View: The reviewer should check that all information in the article is written in a neutral and unbiased manner, with no editorial commentary/advocacy or unsourced opinion.
 * Style: The reviewer should check that all information in the article complies with our style guide (on dateline, grammar and spelling, "inverted pyramid" structure, tone, wikilinks, categories, headline... etc.)

They're far too nice to mention it, but its time for the Liberals to stick the knife into the Labour party for stitching them up in 1997. Labour have had 13 years to inact their previous promise of inacting PR, the sudden conversion of the party to the rightness of PR is sickening.

User pages
Hi. I should explain about the user page. We're pretty aggressive about removing stuff like external links from user pages. Veteran users on en.wn get some leeway, which is generally not a problem partly because the veteran Wikinewsies are generally pretty subdued about what they put on their user pages.

Feel free to put a cross-project wikilink from your user page here to your user page on, say, German Wikipedia. --Pi zero (talk) 16:00, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Football: Falkirk relegated from Scottish Premier League

May 8, 2010

were today relegated from the Scottish Premier League (SPL), after they failed to beat away from home. It was their final game of the season. The teams fought out a 0–0 draw at, a game which did not see many shots on goal with only nine in the whole game. It is the first time Falkirk have been in the second tier of Scottish football since 2005.

Kilmarnock had previously been two points clear of twelfth position, occupied instead by Falkirk. The team in last place would be relegated, and, only needing a draw, Kilmarnock played a slow and defensive game. It is the first time Falkirk have been in the second tier of Scottish football since 2005. With only two shots on target the entire game, much of the credit for the draw went to each team's defensive line, putting in several last-ditch tackles to stifle attacks.

While Falkirk had the upper hand in the first half possession-wise, the contest was more even in the second. On 77 minutes, the Falkirk side had the ball in the net, but the goal was disallowed for a clear foul on the Kilmarnock goalkeeper. Shortly after, Kilmarnock clipped the crossbar with a effort. Falkirk had a glorious opportunity to win the game on 86 minutes, when the ball landed for with the goal empty, but the young midfielder put it over from ten yards.

Kilmarnock manager, speaking after the game, spoke of his experiences: "It was a long, long day. I wouldn't advise it for anybody to be honest, you know. It's the first time and hopefully the last time.

"They didn't really cause us any problems. We had a chance on the counter attack, we didn't take it, and then I think it was the 92nd or 93rd minute young Flynn missed a dottie of a chance. It could have been over and out. All credit to Falkirk."

When asked about his future at the club, Calderwood replied: "I'll see what the idea is. I wouldn't want to stay with too many games like this."

The manager of Falkirk,, also told his views on the game: "It was a very emotional day, you know, we're bitterly disappointed, but once again I couldn't ask any more from this group of players. The things we talk about, the desire, the effort, the application, they were in abundance today. They gave me their absolute lot. It just wasn't to be."

This was Pressley's first season as a manager, and he was questioned on his experience in the role: "I love it. It's been an emotional day today, but in terms of my three months in charge, it's been a terrific experience. I very much enjoy it here and hopefully we can certainly build for next season."

Falkirk will be replaced in the Scottish Premier League next season by, who bounced straight back into the top flight after their relegation in 2009.

Nineteen Spanish airports closed due to ash

May 8, 2010Spanish authorities have closed nineteen airports in the country due to an ash cloud from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland.

Nine airports were closed early this morning, and six more were closed at 12:00 local time (1000 ). At 15:30 local time, the remaining four airports were closed, including Spain's second largest airport at Barcelona. According to Eurocontrol, an agency that is responsible for aviation safety in Europe, said additional airports in Portugal and France were expected to be closed as well.

The closures are forecast to affect nearly 40,000 people, and over 400 flights are to be canceled. Limited traffic into the affected airports will be allowed to resume at 02:00 local time (00:00 UTC) Sunday morning. Authorities warned, however, that the cloud had the potential to affect air travel into next week.

The cloud of ash causing the latest closure is 1,200 (2,000 ) long, the result of recently intensifying eruptions from the volcano. Ash is rising up to 30,000 feet into the air, although Eurocontrol said the risk of ash contamination was particularly high up to 20,000.

An official at Eurocontrol said: "We hope that this incident won't be quite as devastating as last time. However, that depends on the spread of the ash cloud because there is a very extensive area over the north Atlantic if the winds change, there will be very significant closures in Europe today."

Thread:Comments:UK elections: Hung parliament, Cameron to negotiate with Liberal Democrats/—

Personally, I am not a fan of the Conservatives, but they received the largest vote share (in fact, their share was larger than Labour's 2005 victory), and so deserve to form the next government. That does not mean that the (grossly under-represented, due to the evils of FPTP) Liberal Democrats should compromise their principles, and—if no adequate compromise, preferably involving Lib Dem cabinet positions (but I'm not sure if that's fair if Labour are excluded) and a referendum on proportional representation—can be reached, Clegg should either attempt to make a deal with Labour (in the name of stability), albeit a temporary one, or force an early election by voting against the queen's speech. I don't think it would be wise for Clegg to miss out on this opportunity to reform the voting system, however, and I think Cameron is probably (somewhat complacently) open to a referendum, if not to the idea itself. The UK is practically unique in usually having a working majority, and—while expedient—it is not democratic enough for a First World country such as ours.

Thread:Comments:UK elections: Hung parliament, Cameron to negotiate with Liberal Democrats/Tories + Lib Dems/reply (3)

The Liberal Democrats are screwed either way. The Tories have no respect whatsoever for the welfare state while Brown's clowns in Labour want to use the threat of terrorism as a bludgeon to destroy British civil liberties in that fascist ID programme of theirs. In the past, I would have said that a government with Labour would be more in line with Liberal values, as Labour is ostensibly a party in the progressive tradition of politics, however "new labour" has espoused policies that do not even marginally resemble the principles upon which the party was founded. However the thought of letting the Tories (and that sodding tit Cameron) decide what to do with the social safety net is not at all a pleasant one. Really it's a rotten load of bollocks any way you slice it.


text:
Thread:Comments:UK elections: Hung parliament, Cameron to negotiate with Liberal Democrats/Clegg should agree to work with Labour on one condition...

That Gordon Brown resign as party leader. He should stick it to them in the form of an ultimatum, That they either shape up and ask their man to step down and let someone else lead the party, or he'll throw his weight behind the Tories, however useless and counterproductive that may ultimately be, it may be the only thing Clegg can do to get Labour to budge in terms of its policies. It is his one real bargaining chip, and he should not fail to take the opportunity to use it effectively.

Promo
Today on Wikinews : 65 people killed in China during torrential rains, Spain closes airports because of Iceland's pesky volcano and President Harry S Truman announces that Germany has surrendered and the war in Europe is over.

 * Sound credit The Internet Archive.

Today is Saturday, May 8th, 2010. I'm Dan Harlow and this is Wikinews.

Death toll from China rainstorm reaches 65 (0:42)
At least 65 people have been killed and 9,900 houses destroyed in southern China after torrential rainstorms hit the area over the past week. Fourteen people are missing, and 2.55 million people have been affected by the rains.

According to meteorologists, the inclement weather is expected to continue and China's state news agency reports that as much as 157 millimeters of rain fell throughout the region from Wednesday evening to Thursday afternoon.

The rains started when a heat wave in the southern part of the country mingled with a cold front from the north.

Nineteen Spanish airports closed due to ash (1:16)
Weather is also playing havoc in Europe as Spanish authorities have closed nineteen airports, including Spain's second largest airport at Barcelona, due to an ash cloud from the volcano in Iceland which has been erupting since last month.

The closures are forecast to affect nearly 40,000 people, and over 400 flights are to be canceled. Limited traffic into the affected airports will be allowed to resume at 02:00 local time Sunday morning. Authorities warned, however, that the cloud had the potential to affect air travel into next week.

The cloud of ash causing the latest closure is 1,200 miles long, the result of recently intensifying eruptions from the volcano. Ash is rising up to 30,000 feet into the air, although Eurocontrol said the risk of ash contamination was particularly high up to 20,000 feet.

Passengers who were not traveling by air, but rather on water, ran into trouble today in New York and more tragically in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Boat in DR Congo capsizes, 80 feared dead (2:06)
At least eighty people in DR Congo are feared dead after a boat capsized on the Congo River.

The boat was carrying 125 people when it turned over on Wednesday evening near the city of Kindu, the capital of the eastern Maniema province; 45 people were rescued from the waters, but the rest are missing, and some reports say twenty people were already confirmed dead. Rescue efforts are still ongoing.

It wasn't immediately clear why the accident happened; however, boats in the DRC frequently are overcrowded as they are a popular means of transport.

New York's Staten Island Ferry crashes, 60 injured (2:50)
Halfway around the globe, in New York City. according to the New York Police Department, New York City's Staten Island Ferry has crashed into a passenger terminal, causing over 60 injuries.

No life-threatening injuries have been reported, although a few of the passengers were transported by the NYFD to local city hospitals. The accident is still under investigation by the NYPD. In all, 252 passengers were aboard the ship, along with eighteen various crew members.

According to some of the passengers that were on the ship, the boat sped up right before hitting the dock, when it should have actually been slowing down so that it could let passengers on from the station. An early report of the investigation is that the captain of the ship mistakenly lost engine control.

The Staten Island Ferry is a major form of transportation between the two New York city boroughs of Manhattan and Staten Island. Five different ships carry approximately 60,000 passengers each day across the New York Harbor.

The ship, the Andrew J. Barberi, was also involved in another crash in 2003, where it crashed into the same dock and killed eleven people.

Two Egyptian peacekeepers killed in Darfur by gunmen (4:00)
Violence, once again, has flared up in Darfur where two peacekeepers from Egypt, working for the joint United Nations-African Union mission, were killed and three others injured by gunmen in an ambush yesterday. The incident happened near Edd al-Fursan in South Darfur. Nobody has, as of yet, claimed responsibility for the attack.

Darfur and the surrounding region are prone to violence, caused by a civil war; with these deaths, 24 peacekeepers have been killed since deploying to the area two years ago.

British National Party loses all seats in Barking & Dagenham after elections (4:33)
Following the elections in the UK, The British National Party has lost all 12 of its councilors in Barking & Dagenham, London. The new local council will be composed entirely of councilors from the Labour Party, with no BNP candidate placing higher than fourth in any of the authority's 13 wards.

Before the election, it had been considered possible that the BNP might control Barking & Dagenham Council, giving the party, which believes that immigrants, Muslims and non-whites represent a threat to the United Kingdom, control of a local authority for the first time in its history.

The BNP has no MPs but party leader Nick Griffin, as well as party member Andrew Brons, represent regions of northern England in the European Parliament.

Many anti-far right groups such as Unite Against Fascism, Searchlight and Hope Not Hate had been involved in campaigning in Barking & Dagenham, with marches, rallies and door-to-door canvassing taking place daily in the lead-up to the election.

The BNP also suffered from internal dissent late in the election, with its former webmaster launching a scathing attack on the party's internal operations and accusing it of corruption the day before voting booths opened. The party's finances are also under investigation by the Electoral Commission.

Finally, in the world of sports,

Falkirk relegated from Scottish Premier League (5:52)
Falkirk were today relegated from the Scottish Premier League, after they failed to beat Kilmarnock away from home in their final game of the season. The teams fought out a 0–0 draw at Rugby Park in a game which only saw nine shots on goal the entire game. It is the first time Falkirk have been in the second tier of Scottish football since 2005.

This was Steven Pressley's first season as a manager of Falkirk and he was questioned on his experience in the role stating : "I love it. It's been an emotional day today, but in terms of my three months in charge, it's been a terrific experience. I very much enjoy it here and hopefully we can certainly build for next season."

Falkirk will be replaced in the Scottish Premier League next season by the Caley Jags, who bounced straight back into the top flight after their relegation in 2009.

Still holding out a sliver of hope in the sport of hockey,

Detroit Red Wings beat San Jose Sharks 7-1 in fourth NHL quarter final match (6:41)
The Detroit Red wings beat the San Jose Sharks 7–1 in the fourth game of the quarter final match in the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs on Thursday night, reducing San Jose's series lead to three games to one and keeping the Wings playoff hopes alive. Game 5 of the series will be hosted by San Jose this evening.

The winning team in this best of 7 series will advance to the Conference Finals of the Western Conference, where they'll meet either the Chicago Blackhawks or the Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks are currently leading that series, 3 games to 1.

On this day in history (7:17)
In 1945, Allied forces in Europe formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Nazi Germany and the end of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. The act of military surrender was signed on 7 May in Reims, France, and ratified on 8 May in Berlin, Germany.

In the United States, President Harry Truman, who turned 61 that day, dedicated the victory to the memory of his predecessor, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had died of a cerebral hemorrhage less than a month earlier, on 12 April. Flags remained at half-staff for the remainder of the 30-day mourning period, which ended on May 12.

Here is Harry Truman announcing Germany's surrender:

 * Sound credit The Internet Archive.

More than one million people celebrated in the streets to mark the end of the European part of the war. Many hardships remained, however, including continued rationing of food and clothing, which lasted even longer in peacetime than it had during the war.

Outro
And those are the top headlines for Saturday, May 8th, 2010. As a public service to all of our listeners, remember that tomorrow is Mother's Day, so don't forget to celebrate mom as much as the world celebrated the end of WWII!

Multiple explosions in Russian coal mine, eleven dead

May 10, 2010

Reports suggest methane gas was to blame for two explosions in a Russian which are thought to have left up to twelve miners dead and eighty others unaccounted for. Local officials say at least 41 miners have been injured.

The explosions come after calls for coal mines in Russia to improve their poor safety records.

Over three hundred miners were underground when the first explosion occurred just prior to midnight on Saturday night and most of them were brought safely to the surface. However, officials report that eleven miners died in the first explosion.

Around three hours later a second explosion occurred and authorities on the surface lost contact with a rescue team below. Following the second explosion, an emergency services ministry spokeswoman told the media that rescue operations had been suspended indefinitely.

, the governor of Siberia's western region, has taken charge of the rescue operation. Tuleyev said the second blast had caused more injuries and destroyed the main air shaft. He also stated that there was a risk of more explosions.

"The rescue work will continue when the atmosphere in the mine is restored, but to conduct rescue work now means to send people to their death," he said. Reports suggest emergency workers are attempting to pump breathable air into the mine.

The mine, owned by Russian company, is the largest underground coal mine in Russia. A worker was killed after part of the mine collapsed in January 2010.

Landmine blast in Chattisgarh, India kills eight

May 10, 2010

Suspected guerrillas killed eight Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans in Chattisgarh, India yesterday, blowing up a bullet-proof police patrol in the  of the state. It was the first major attack by Maoists in the area since 76 people were killed in an ambush incident at.

The naxalites detonated an improvised explosive device near Pedakodepal village, located on in Bijapur, then opened fire at security men, confirmed by the Director General of Police of Chattisgarh. The driver of the vehicle was also killed in the incident. One jawan was severely wounded and another missing, he added. The injured are being treated in a hospital.

"It appears that the security personnel ignored the instruction not to travel in any kind of vehicle in the naxal-infested areas," Home Minister of Chattisgarh said. "The Maoists appear to be working with a better intelligence network and the forces need to be more alert."

Thread:Comments:UK elections: Hung parliament, Cameron to negotiate with Liberal Democrats/Tories + Lib Dems/reply (4)

I spent the 80's and 90's wanting to be rid of the Tories, the fact that Labour once they gained power would be no different was something I was told but hoped would not be true. I guess like many I've gravitated to the Liberals as they have as yet been untarnished by power.

7.2 magnitude earthquake hits Indonesia

May 9, 2010 A large earthquake, measured by the US Geological Survey as having a magnitude of 7.2, struck near, Indonesia earlier today.

The epicentre was 215 (130 ) south-southeast of, Sumatra, and 630 kilometres (390 miles) west of Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur, at a depth of 45 kilometres (28 miles), the USGS reports. The tremors started at about 13.00 local time (05.59 UTC). A local tsunami alert was made by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, but rescinded about an hour and a half later.

"Sea level readings indicate that a significant tsunami was not generated. Therefore, the tsunami watch issued by this center is now cancelled," the PTWC said in a statement on its website.

The Associated Press news agency quotes local media as saying some power lines were knocked down and some buildings damaged.

The epicentre of the temblor is near that of 2004's magnitude 9.2 earthquake, which generated a large tsunami and killed around 170,000 people. Indonesia is on a very tectonically active part of the world, the, and experiences earthquakes frequently.

Football: Chelsea beat Wigan to win fourth Premier League title

May 9, 2010 football team today won the English for the first time since 2006, with an emphatic win over. Chelsea, who went into the game top of the table, knew that had to beat  to have any chance of catching them.

The first goal came early, with French striker scoring from a  knock on, despite calls for offside, in the sixth minute. Just after the half-hour mark, was pulled down in the box by Wigan defender. This earned the defender a straight red card, and the resulting penalty was scored by Lampard. After half-time, a third goal came from, before Alenka converted an cross to extend the lead to four just minutes afterwards.

, Chelsea's top goalscorer this season, finally got onto the scoresheet with Chelsea's hundredth goal of the season, heading in from Lampard's lofted ball. When was fouled in the area by former Chelsea man, Drogba stepped up to take the penalty, scoring Chelsea's sixth. On 80 minutes, Drogba completed his hat-trick with a close-range rebound, as this became the third time Chelsea had scored seven in one game this season. Ashley Cole scored the eighth just before the end of the game with a low shot under the goalkeeper.

Chelsea captain, whose private life had been the subject of intense scrutiny over the course of the season, was exuberant over the title win: "Forget everything else, this is about Chelsea Football Club and our day today. It has been a hard three years not winning the Premiership and today we deserved it. It's been hurting inside of me for three years, seeing Man United lifting it season after season." , the winning manager, compared the win to that of former Chelsea manager : "Mourinho did some fantastic work and won two titles consecutively. This is my first and I hope to do the same as Mourinho. Now we have the opportunity to win the double and I hope that my players can, after these celebrations."

Manchester United 4 – 0 Stoke
Manchester United, who were hoping for a Chelsea slip-up to stand any chance of taking the title for a fourth year in a row, still recorded a comfortable win over Stoke City.

The scoring was opened by, who tapped in from close range just after the half-hour mark. Seven minutes later, experienced winger slotted past the goalkeeper from a low  through ball. Just before half time, forced a reflex save from.

In the second half, a own goal gave Manchester United their third goal of the afternoon after a cross from striker. Several shots were saved from either side, before made it four with a close-range header with six minutes to go.

Afterwards, spoke of his disappointment: "When we heard Wigan was down to 10 men, our hopes evaporated then. Losing this title makes you appreciate the achievement of winning the last three and also getting so near. We've got to try again."

Around the League
In other games: hit four against  in the London derby at ;  got a narrow 1–0 away win at ;  beat  at home; already relegated  managed a 4–2 victory over fourth-placed ;  edged  1–0 at ; relegated  held seventh-placed  to a goalless draw;  drew 1–1 with ; and  beat  2–1.

Back in London, Arsenal assured their third-place finish with a 4–0 victory over Fulham. Andrey Asharvin opened the scoring for Gunners in the 21st minute with strike partner Robin van Persie following 5 minutes later. Eight minutes after that, Arsenal went three clear when Chris Baird deflected the ball into his own net after Emmanuel Eboue flicked on a Theo Walcott cross. Substite Carlos Vela completed the day with a low shot in the right side of the goal.

Fourth-place Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Burnley needing win and for Arsenal to drop points to move up to third in the table. The game started brightly for the north London club, going 2-0 up on 32 minutes, with goals from Gareth Bale and. Just before the break, Wade Elliott slotted one home for Clarets. With Arsenal already up 3–0, the Spurs relaxed in the second half, having assured a place in European football with a victory in the mid-week. Ten minutes in Jack Cork headed home, while Martin Paterson and Steven Thompson finished of the comeback. The win moved Burley to 18th place in the table -- relegation as assured at the beginning the day -- and earned the Clarets and extra £800,000 from the Premier League in prize money. The victory was their second over a top-four club this season, winning 1–0 against Manchester United. Also earned points with draws with Manchester City and Arsenal. Burley had previously lost 5–0 at Tottenham.

Burnley manager Brian Laws addressed his future and praised club supporters after the game: "Everybody seems to question whether I'm going to be here next season, but we are planning for the future and I want to be part of that," Laws said, according the BBC. "It's a fantastic club with magnificent supporters who deserve to have another go at it in the Premier League."

Fifth-place Manchester City needed just one point to keep their spot -- having a decisive goal difference edge with sixth-place Aston Villa -- and they got the needed point with a one-all draw with West Ham. Both goals game within minutes of each other, with Luis Boa Morte putting the Hammers up with a chip in the 17th minute and four minutes later City levelled through a Sean Wright-Phillips header.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini praised fans in his post-match conference calling them fantastic as well as acknowledging the work of his players. "I think we played a good game and had plenty of chances to score," Mancini said. "It is important that we finished in fifth position and it is an important result for us."

Manchester City did not need the point after all was said and done, as Blackburn defeated Aston Villa at Villa Park. A late Richard Dunne own goal handed the Rovers the three points need to finish in the top half of the table.

Liverpool squeezed in the seventh-place spot, just two points above Everton. The Reds could not capitalize on Villa's defeat, though did earn a point in a goalless draw with relegation-side Hull. One of the so called "Big Four" of English football, the seventh-place finish -- while enough to qualify for the Europa League next season -- matches their lowest finish since the 1998–99 season. Since, Liverpool has always been as high as fifth and then only twice.

Assured the eighth spot at the start of the day, Everton played host to bottom-of-the table Portsmouth. American national keeper Tim Howard was denied the chance to square of against England keeper David James by Pompey manager Avram Grant, though substitute Jamie Ashdown filled in nicely. The game appeared to be headed to a goalless draw until Diniyar Bilyaletdinov slotted a goal to lift Merseyside club over the 60-point mark. Bilyaletdinov, a Russian national player, will get the distinction of scoring the last goal in the 2009–10 Premier League season.

Review of revision 1015845 [Passed]

 * I still note the article doesn't even specify what country this takes place in. Many non-UKers that don't follow football will likely not know where this is. Tempodivalse [talk]  23:30, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Fourth Title
it's chelsea's third title not fourth

 * It depends on how you define Premier League, but Wikinews isn't the only one to count it as 4.
 * 1955 (League Division One), 2005 (Premiership), 2006 (Premiership), 2010 (Premier League).
 * "Chelsea exorcised three seasons of frustration to claim the club's fourth league title" Guardian

 * --InfantGorilla (talk) 12:11, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

the title says fourth premier league title, not league title

 * Perhaps Wikinews was wrong (I say not.) Wikinews doesn't change the story after 24 hours, though sometimes people will add a retraction or correction when facts are wrong.  Please propose a course of action: I don't think an explanation of the old names of the Premier League will be controversial.  If it helps, Wikipedia uses the phrase: "highest league in English football" which is more accurate (List of English football champions).  --InfantGorilla (talk) 11:07, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Russia celebrates Victory Day

May 10, 2010 Russia yesterday celebrated, to commemorate the of Nazi Germany's surrender.

In a first for the annual celebrations, soldiers from other countries joined in the parade, including those from former Soviet allies in the war: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Poland.

Leaders from other countries were present at the event, including Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, the Polish acting president Bronislaw Komorowski, Israel's Shimon Peres, and China's president, Hu Jintao.

Media reports describe the events as being among the most elaborate since the Soviet Union fell apart two decades ago. Anti-aircraft rockets, mobile howitzers, and missiles rolled through Red Square, and 150 airplanes and helicopters performed a flyover shortly thereafter.

Russian President Dmitriy Medvedev speaking during the celebrations at, appealed for international solidarity: "Only together can we counter present-day threats. Only as good neighbours can we resolve problems of global security in order that the ideals of justice and good triumph in all of the world and that the lives of future generations will be free and happy."
