Israel to Build more Settlements
Palestinian and Israeli officials met today just outside
of Jerusalem in talks which yielded little progress on the
US-backed “roadmap”. No concrete agreements were
reached as to an Israeli withdrawal from the Occupied West
Bank and Gaza. This as Israel announced the completion of
what they described as the first stage of a “security
wall” around the West Bank which Palestinians denounced
as an apartheid wall. And as Awad Duaibes reports, Palestinians
have little confidence in the Israeli commitment to the US-backed
peace process as Israel announced today that it aims to expand
settlements in the Gaza Strip.

Training Terrorists or the Poor?
Under pressure from the United States, Pakistan government
plans to spend $100 million on reforming around 45,000 religious
seminaries, or Madrassahs, because of the fear that they included
training in the use of arms in their curriculum. However,
as Masror Hussain reports from Islamabad, Pakistan, Madrassahs
in Pakistan are unique as they offer education for the countries
poor.

Part 1: Vieques in South Korea
This week marks the 50th Anniversary of the Armistice that
ended the Korean War. But for residents of one village on
South Korea's west coast, the armistice marked the beginning
-- not the end -- of a US military bombing campaign. From
Meyhan- Ni South Korea, Aaron Glantz has the first of a two
part series on the US military's practice bombing range.

Tourism Continues to Kashmir
As the Indian Army moves ahead with it’s strikingly
Israel-like plan to build a fence along the Line Of Control
in Indian administered Kashmir, violence continues as does
the back and forth accusations between the Indians and Pakistanis
as to who is to blame. Yesterday India’s defense minister,
George Fernandes said that some 3,000 terrorists were being
trained in camps in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir. This as Pakistani’s
say that yesterday four people, including a government employee,
were killed in fresh separatist-linked violence overnight
in the Indian Held Kashmir. And as correspondent Shahnawaz
Khan in Srinagar reports, despite the recent spate of violence,
Kashmiri’s calling on the world to see for themselves
what is happening in their country.
