_Confusion over Kabila's departure for Kinshasa _

[13][LINK]

_Confused:_ Frederick Chiluba

_AGENCIES in Lubumbashi_
Confusion reigned yesterday over the departure of Zaire's
self-declared president Laurent Kabila for his first visit to the
capital, Kinshasa, since it fell.

Zambian President Frederick Chiluba's plane arrived at Lubumbashi
airport yesterday, apparently to transport Kabila to Kinshasa, and
alliance troops secured the airport.

But alliance officials gave contradictory signals on the timing of the
departure, with one saying he may not now go until later in the week.

To compound the confusion, an advance party of senior alliance
officials boarded a chartered Boeing 727 bound for Kinshasa and then
got off again, leaving the plane on the tarmac.

Kabila declared himself president on Saturday, changing Zaire's name
to the Democratic Republic of Congo, a day after Alliance of
Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congo seized Kinshasa.

Last Friday, ex-president Mobutu Sese Seko relinquished power and
fled.

Alliance finance commissioner Mawampanga Mwana Nanga said the group
would stick to its long-standing policy of holding elections within a
year, but he said supporters of Mr Mobutu would be excluded from a
transitional government.

Asked if and when there would be elections, he said: "Definitely. The
president [Kabila] has said within 12 months.

"There will be a time for electioneering and campaigning, but this is
the time when we need to come together.

"The president has said and repeated 'elections within 12 months'."

The US and South Africa have led appeals to the alliance to form a
broad-based government in the wake of the victory including members of
the civilian opposition to Mr Mobutu.

Individual politicians but not political parties would be represented
in the transitional government and Mobutu supporters would not be
involved.

In Paris, a French government official said Mr Mobutu had not
requested shelter in France.

The official said that if Mr Mobutu asked to go to France, his request
would be examined, but recalled that Morocco and South Africa had both
offered to take in the former leader.

China yesterday signalled its recognition of the new regime. "We
respect the choice of the Zairean people," Foreign Ministry spokesman
Shen Guofang said in Beijing.

_Reflected glory pays off in Harriman sale _

Connections to some of the century's most powerful men made Pamela
Harriman's reputation in life - and made a success of her estate sale
at Sotheby's in New York.

Her one-time father-in-law Sir Winston Churchill's painting of liquor
bottles sold for US$184,000 (HK$1.42 million).

"A newly discovered artist," said auctioneer and Sotheby's president
Diana Brooks as she sold the oil painting, which had been expected to
fetch US$40,000 at most.

The US ambassador to France and Democratic Party icon died aged 76
after suffering a stroke in February.

Books, bank cheques and notes inscribed to Harriman or her relations
by Churchill, president John F. Kennedy and other political figures
grossed US$4.7 million.

The sale included artworks by Picasso, Georges Seurat, Pierre Auguste
Renoir and Alexander Calder.

"The sale items sort of conjured up all the various lives that she
lived and all the important and powerful men associated with her
life," Sally Bedell Smith, author of Harriman's biography Reflected
Glory, said.

About 800 people attended the sale.

An unnamed European foundation bought the presentation copy of the
1963 Nuclear Test Ban Treaty which Kennedy signed for US$46,000, and
the signing pens. Kennedy's pen went for US$27,000 and the pen used by
Harriman's last husband, then undersecretary of state and chief treaty
negotiator, William Averell Harriman, sold for US$4,600.

The foundation at Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' auction last year paid
US$1.4 million for the treaty-signing desk.

The most expensive item was a John Singer Sargent painting of a
staircase which sold for US$1.4 million.

Actress Whoopi Goldberg sat in the second row and bought a leather,
stuffed donkey for US$1,495 and coasters with a family crest for
US$2,875. She also tried to buy a picture of Churchill smoking a
cigar.

The sale ends tomorrow.

_Great things:_ Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone says his wedding to longtime girlfriend Jennifer
Flavin was one of the "great things" in his life, and that she would
make a "wonderful wife".

The Rocky and Rambo star confirmed in a statement in Los Angeles that
the wedding took place at the weekend at London's Dorchester Hotel.

"I had two great things happen to me in the past year: the birth of
our beautiful daughter, Sophia Rose, and now my marriage to Jennifer,"
Stallone said.

British press reports said Flavin, 28, pregnant with the couple's
second child, wore a £20,000 (HK$252,000) white satin Armani dress.
The couple's eight-month old daughter had a cream chiffon dress for
the ceremony.

After the civil ceremony, the couple went to Blenheim Palace, Winston
Churchill's birthplace near Oxford, where a chapel ceremony was held
followed by a reception.

According to witnesses at the Park Lane Hotel, where rooms cost up to
£2,000 a night, the star looked relaxed before the ceremony. Stallone,
50, smiled, waved, and then punched the air in a sign of victory to
admirers before leaving for the Dorchester.

Meanwhile, in Miami, Florida, where Stallone lives, his neighbours
protested against plans to close off streets around his residence.
Local officials allow street closings in private areas as long as it
does not affect traffic. But 22 residents claim a former local
official who represents Stallone, Rosario Kennedy, lied to obtain
approval.

_Accident victim sues Jackson _

The family of a teenager who claims he was run over by a van carrying
Michael Jackson has filed a US$9.6 million (HK$74.2 million) lawsuit
against the pop star in a Sao Paulo court.

The boy, Marcio de Paula, broke a thighbone, underwent three
operations and now has one leg shorter than the other, Brazil's Globo
television reported,

Jackson and his entourage were fleeing a crowd of children outside a
toy factory in Sao Paulo in October 1993. Jackson has denied being in
the van and said he only visited the 16-year-old boy in the hospital
at the family's request.

In 1994, the teenager sued Jackson for US$20 million in a federal
court in New York, saying the Prince of Pop had promised financial
help after the crash, but had only given the boy a toy car set.

According to Globo, negotiations between the de Paula family and
Jackson broke down after the family asked for US$1.3 million to
settle.

_Chang 'serves tobacco firms' _

_AGENCIES in San Francisco and Dallas_
Anti-tobacco advocates and Asian-American groups appealed yesterday to
tennis star Michael Chang to stop participating in the Salem Open and
other tournaments sponsored by cigarette companies.

The groups said that by playing in the tournaments and appearing in
advertisements for them, Chang was helping tobacco companies sell
cigarettes to young people in Asia.

"Asian youth, especially girls, are a major target of US tobacco
companies and these companies are using Michael's popularity as a role
model to legitimise their deadly product," said Rod Lew, a spokesman
for the American Lung Association of Alameda County.

That branch of the association, along with the Chinese Progressive
Association, the Vietnamese Community Health Promotion Project and the
Asian Pacific Islander Tobacco Education Network, began a
letter-writing campaign to Chang on Monday.

_Diana's 'mirage of happiness' _

[13][LINK]

_Empathy:_ Diana

The mother of Princess Diana has spoken of her youngest daughter's
wedding to Prince Charles as "just a mirage of happiness".

Twice-divorced Frances Shand Kydd admitted to Hello! magazine that the
married life of Princess Diana had mirrored her own, with both women
marrying men 12 years their senior and separating amid a blaze of
publicity.

"I felt empathy with Diana," said Shand Kydd, 61. "There have been
similarities, right down to our engagement rings. They were both just
mirages of happiness."

Shand Kydd, recently convicted of drink-driving, lives on the Scottish
island of Seil.

She divorced Diana's father, Earl Spencer, when Diana was seven and
married Peter Shand Kydd, whom she also divorced.

Diana's brother, also called Charles, is divorced too.

_Pamela's sex claims denied _

__
A film company suing actress Pamela Anderson Lee for backing out of a
movie deal said she had not objected to sex scenes when she first read
the script and gave no hint she would withdraw from the project.

But the former Baywatch star's lawyer told the court there was no
binding agreement and that Lee had the right to decide what to do with
her body and "didn't want to do simulated sex".

The Private Movie Co. alleges she broke a deal to star in Hello, She
Lied to make Barb Wire.

Lee's attorney said: "We didn't have mutual assent. The producers
didn't have a memo, didn't have a signed napkin."

The judge will deliver his verdict next week.

_Perplexing tale of two Congos _

_REUTER in Brazzaville_
Congo has yet to make an official response to the sudden reappearance
of a country with the same name next door. Unofficially, confusion has
begun.

For more than a quarter of a century, Zaire was easily distinguished
by name from its much smaller neighbour.

Laurent Kabila's civil war victory and his forces' entry into the
capital Kinshasa at the weekend have changed all that.

Kabila, rejecting the name chosen by ousted president Mobutu Sese
Seko, has renamed Africa's third-largest country the Democratic
Republic of Congo - its name between 1964 and 1971.

The newly renamed Voice of Congo radio station broadcasts to its
listeners in Congo, but can also be picked up across the Congo River
in Congo. Those who wish can also tune in to Radio Congo broadcasting
to the two Congos from the other bank.

"It is something we will have to get used to and we will have to find
ways to distinguish each other," radio technician Gregoire Bassafoula
said in Brazzaville, capital of the Congo on the river's northern
bank.

Brazzaville and Kinshasa were founded by competing colonialists in the
1880s. France and Belgium wanted ports on the lowest navigable stretch
of the river, the main route to the interior.

The colonial distinction was made between the French Congo and the
Belgian Congo. When in 1960 the two countries won independence they
tried to avoid confusion by putting the names of their capitals after
the country - Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Leopoldville, later
Kinshasa.

Congo derives from the Kongo kingdom established in the 14th and 15th
centuries near the Atlantic coast.

In 1971, Mr Mobutu changed the name of the former Belgian Congo to
Zaire, a Portuguese corruption of another local name.

The whole of Congo-Brazzaville, with not more than three million
people, has less than half the population of Kinshasa and is dwarfed
by the 40 million people across the river. There is little doubt in
Brazzaville about who will have to give way when it comes to names.

_Russia _

_Moscow apologises for intercepting plane carrying Chechen delegation _

_AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE_
_Updated at 4.20pm:_
Moscow apologised on Wednesday for an incident in which Russian
fighter jets intercepted a plane taking a Chechen delegation to an
international conference in The Hague, and said the trip could go
ahead.

Russian Security Council Secretary Ivan Rybkin, the head negotiator
with Chechnya, told Echo Moscow radio that ''over-zealous officials
must not be allowed to break the fragile trust built between the
Russian Federation and Chechnya.''

''Certain officials are too slow to grasp the meaning of the agreement
on peace and the principles of relations between Chechnya and
Russia,'' he said.

The incident late on Tuesday was the first row since the historic May
12 signing of a peace agreement between Russia and Chechnya, which
ended a 21-month war last year, leaving the tiny North Caucasus
republic with de facto independence.

Chechen Vice President Vakha Arsanov, who was heading the delegation
to the Netherlands, described it as a ''gross and shameful violation''
of the peace accord and ordered all Russian officials out of the tiny,
separatist republic.

The plane was on its way to Odessa, Ukraine, where it was to make a
stopover The plane was on its way to Odessa, Ukraine, where it was to
make a stopover bbefore continuing to The Hague for a four-day
conference on the Chechen-Russian conflict.

Shortly after taking off from their capital Grozny, the Chechens were
ordered to land in the southern Russian town of Mineralnoye Vody and
go through customs or return to Grozny.

Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin issued an order on
Wednesday that the Chechen leaders must be allowed to travel, Interfax
quoted the Security Council spokesman as saying. This had been
co-ordinated with Russian customs, aviation and foreign ministry
officials, he said.

ITAR-TASS quoted the Kremlin's representative in Grozny saying that a
team of Russian customs officials had arrived in the city and that the
Chechen delegation was now free to leave for The Hague.

After the conference, organised by the Dutch Institute of
International Relations and the Carnegie Endowment, the delegation was
to visit a number of Arab countries.

Freedom of travel for the Chechen leaders, mostly former guerrilla
commanders in the devastating war, is a particularly sensitive topic.

Chechnya insists it is independent and Moscow says the region is still
part of Russia, but the Muslim republic is landlocked and its
declaration of independence has not been recognised abroad.

_Middle East _

_US scolds Israel on plans for buildings _

_AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE in Jerusalem_
The US has told Israel that a quarter of the homes in Jewish
settlements in the West Bank are empty and that further building in
the occupied territory is unjustified, reports said yesterday.

The Haaretz newspaper, quoting senior US officials, said US Mideast
envoy Dennis Ross presented the results of a US investigation into
Jewish settlements at a meeting of Israeli and Palestinian officials
last week as part of his effort to revive the deadlocked peace
process.

"There is no need to expand settlements because all the settlers can
live in units found in existing settlements," one official told
Haaretz in an interview apparently designed to counter Palestinian
claims that Washington was not being tough enough with Israel on the
settlement issue.

Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority has refused to return to peace
negotiations until Israel halts all building of Jewish housing on
captured Arab lands where Palestinians hope to create an independent
state.

But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused any freeze
on settlement building, saying expansion is necessary to allow for
"natural growth" of Jewish communities.

The US official countered that the settlement building was politically
motivated "to satisfy the coalition partners of the Prime Minister,
like the National Religious Party" - a far right, pro-settlement
group.

Israeli-Palestinian peace talks broke down on March 18 when Israel
began to build the Jewish settlement of Har Homa in east Jerusalem,
which the Palestinians hope to make the capital of a future state.

The US study asserted 9,939 out of 41,000 housing units in West Bank
settlements were empty, or 26 per cent. In the Gaza Strip, 56 per cent
of Jewish houses were unoccupied, it said.

The figures were compiled from information gathered up to February
with the help of satellite photographs.

US officials said their West Bank figures did not include annexed east
Jerusalem, but they asserted the rate of occupancy of Jewish
apartments in the disputed sector of the city was very low.

The US figures were disputed both by settler groups and the
anti-settlement Peace Now movement, which said its data showed only 12
per cent of homes in the occupied territories were unoccupied.

"This is a real exaggeration," Peace Now spokeswoman Hagit Hayaari
said. "If it were 26 per cent, it would serve our interests, but it
isn't."

The head of the settlers' council, Pinhas Wallerstein, said there were
only "a few" empty apartments in the West Bank. "You won't find any
empty in settlements near Tel Aviv or Jerusalem," he told Israel
radio.

He added that some 3,000 apartments built in the early 1990s, but
whose sale was frozen by the previous Labour government to facilitate
peace negotiations with the Palestinians, were finding buyers now that
Mr Netanyahu had lifted the freeze on settlement expansion.

Since coming to power a year ago, Mr Netanyahu's Government has
approved construction of 2,218 new housing units in the West Bank and
is preparing authorisations for nearly 7,000 more, the US report said,
according to Haaretz.

An estimated 140,000 settlers live in the West Bank, home to about 1.4
million Palestinians.

_Refugees _

_Numbers of displaced drop to 34 million as havens dwindle _

_ASSOCIATED PRESS in Washington_
The flow of refugees, asylum-seekers and other displaced people has
fallen to a seven-year low of 34 million people - partly as a result
of shrinking expectations of safe haven, the US Committee for Refugees
said yesterday.

The United States and Germany were among 15 countries named in the
non-government committee's annual World Refugee Survey as places where
guarantees of asylum had deteriorated.

Other reasons for the lower refugee population included last year's
repatriations of nearly two million people to Rwanda and other African
countries as well as Afghanistan, and the end of the peak flow from
the former Soviet Union.

The report voiced concern that "asylum for refugees around the world
is eroding in more countries than ever before, as governments -
including those traditionally friendly to refugees - either close
their borders completely or offer 'pseudo-asylum' that lacks adequate
protection".

A US State Department spokeswoman, Julie Reside, declined to comment
on the report yesterday but said officials were looking at its
conclusions. The US led the list of donor countries to international
refugee relief agencies last year, with US$389 million (HK$3 billion),
the report said.

But the US ranked ninth on a per capita basis, with US$1.47, compared
with leader Norway's US$13.25.

Rwandans fleeing violence to other African countries and refugees "in
other corners of the globe" in 1996 found themselves in
"pseudo-asylum", the report said.

In the case of Rwanda this was defined as places "dominated by the
very brutal thugs who had butchered and hacked their way through a
three-month killing spree inside Rwanda in 1994".

Westerners watching television identify refugees as people fleeing
with their baggage from acute danger, but a growing problem is that
"refugees find themselves today in situations blocking every place
they need to run", committee director Roger Winter said at a news
conference releasing the survey.

_United States _

_Congress battle looms over military review _

_REUTER in Washington_
The military marched into a political minefield yesterday, asking
Congress to close more domestic bases while making only small troop
cuts and spending billions on weapons for the 21st century.

Despite strong opposition from lawmakers, President Bill Clinton
quickly supported the proposal that would batter US communities by
adding to the 98 big domestic bases already being closed after the
Cold War.

Defence Secretary William Cohen unveiled the plan at a news
conference, pressing Congress to agree to two rounds of domestic base
closures, in 1999 and 2001, to save money for jets and other arms,
while paring just 61,700 troops from the 1.4 million-member military.

The Quadrennial Defence Review, or QDR, has already drawn sharp
criticism from Congress because it seeks sensitive base closures but
would scrap virtually no big arms programmes.

"I don't think closures are called for at this time," Senate
Republican Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi said.

But Mr Clinton said Mr Cohen and the military Joint Chiefs of Staff
had managed their study of force structure "brilliantly". He urged
Congress to help US forces retain the dominance shown over Iraq in the
1991 Gulf War.

"They believe it is in our national security interest and I'm going to
do my best to be supportive," said Mr Clinton.

The review plan, which requires Congressional approval, would retain
the current total of about 100,000 US troops in Europe and the western
Pacific and keep the military prepared to fight two wars at once, for
example in the Middle East and Korea.

"If you want to keep bases, then you cannot expect to modernise," Mr
Cohen said, adding that he expected fireworks when testifying before
Congress yesterday and today.

General John Shalikashvili, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
said base closures were preferable to deep troop cuts now.

"It would make very little sense to break the force today to pay for
tomorrow's", he said.

Closures are an explosive matter in communities that depend on local
military salaries, especially after Congress has already axed dozens
of facilities in four previous rounds of realignment commissions and
closures.

_Northern Ireland _

_Britain ready to talk to IRA wing _

_AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE in Belfast_
The IRA's political wing, Sinn Fein, may hold talks with British
officials in Belfast as early as tomorrow, the Northern Ireland Office
(NIO) said yesterday.

The meeting, which would be the first since the IRA broke a cease-fire
15 months ago, was proposed by Prime Minister Tony Blair in a speech
in Belfast on Friday as a way of restarting the stalled peace process.

Mr Blair stressed that such meetings with civil servants could be held
without the precondition of a restored IRA cease-fire - a change of
policy from the former Conservative government which broke off all
contacts with the republicans pending a new cease-fire.

The NIO said the meeting might be held tomorrow in Stormont Castle
outside Belfast, where multi-party peace talks that began last June
are set to resume in a few weeks after a long recess.

It comes after Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams met Irish government
officials in Dublin on Saturday.

Sources in Belfast said the upcoming meeting was likely to be between
a delegation headed by Sinn Fein deputy leader Martin McGuinness and
senior NIO officials.

There have been no direct contacts between the British Government and
Sinn Fein since the IRA bombed London's Canary Wharf in February last
year, killing two people and causing damage estimated at £100 million
(HK$1.26 billion).

Mr McGuinness was expected to ask the Government to confirm whether
Sinn Fein would be admitted to the peace talks immediately after a
declaration of an "unequivocal" IRA cease-fire.

The absence of an IRA truce has been the reason for Sinn Fein's
exclusion.

Mr Adams indicated earlier yesterday a cease-fire could be restored if
the IRA got a clear commitment from the Government to enhance the
peace process.

"Sinn Fein believes an unequivocal restoration of the IRA cessation
would represent the most important . . . initiative on the IRA's
part."

_Bipartisan peace concert sparks riots, 54 arrests _

_Out of harmony:_ an arrested protester is led away. _Reuter photo_

_REUTER in Nicosia_
Calm returned to the Cypriot capital yesterday after a night of
disturbances sparked by Greek Cypriots opposed to a UN-sponsored peace
concert in the no-man's land dividing the city.

Fifty-five people, including 39 policemen, were slightly injured
during nearly three hours of pitched battles between youths and riot
police in the heart of the city on Monday night. Fifty-four people
were arrested, police said.

"Their aim was to break through the roadblocks and to terrorise
people. When that failed they resorted to all this hooliganism,"
police spokesman Glafcos Xenos said yesterday.

At the site, town workers began cleaning up streets strewn with
smashed window glass, smouldering rubbish bins, bricks and stones.
Groups of youths, most of them just curious onlookers, remained
gathered in the town until the early hours.

"Police are on the alert for any possibility of further incidents," Mr
Xenos said.

The Turkish-Greek pop concert took on a political meaning in the face
of opposition from various factions on both sides of the Cyprus
divide.

Opposition by Greek groups to the free, bipartisan concert was
underlined by a protest concert in the Greek Cypriot-populated half of
the capital which attracted about 5,000 people - about 1,000 more than
the estimated audience at the peace concert.

The Greek Cypriot groups saw the concert as an attempt to peddle
Turkish propaganda while disregarding the fact that Turkish forces
still occupy the northern third of the island.

Turkey occupied northern Cyprus in 1974 in an invasion sparked by a
brief Greek Cypriot coup engineered by the military which then ruled
Greece.

On the Turkish side, witnesses reported far-right Turkish "Grey Wolf"
nationalists threw stones at a bus carrying a Turkish singer to join a
Greek pop star at the peace concert. Windows were broken but there
were no injuries, they said.

_Lay virgins renew 'no sex' vow _

_REUTER in Plymouth, England_
Twenty consecrated virgins from around the nation gathered at Plymouth
Cathedral to renew their lifelong vows of chastity.

The Mass marked the 25th anniversary of the revival of committed lay
virgins - the forerunners to nuns in the Catholic Church. The
tradition ended in Britain in the third century.

The Vatican revived the holy rite in 1970 and two years later
Elizabeth Bailey, 64, became the first officially consecrated virgin
in almost 900 years. Britain now has almost 100 of them, aged from 21
to 65.

Speaking to "her sisters in the life of consecrated virginity" Ms
Bailey said: "We have all embarked on a journey of faith.

"None of us knew when we took that step what problems would arise."

Plymouth's Bishop Christopher Budd, who has six consecrated virgins in
his diocese, said: "It is always going to be a minority vocation. I
don't think you will get hordes signing up."

In taking the no-sex pledge, women are betrothed to Jesus and devote
their lives to prayer and good works.

Among those attending the service were several much younger women.
Asked if she was considering the vow, 24-year-old Judy Toms said:
"Definitely not. It's a bit too late for that."
