Daily News… VENEZUELA’S CHAVEZ DIES Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez lost his battle with cancer, his death silencing the leading voice of the Latin American left and putting the oil-rich nation on a path to early elections. Vice President Nicolas Maduro, who struggled to stifle tears as he announced Chavez’s passing, said the government had deployed the armed forces and police «to accompany and protect our people and guarantee the peace.» Venezuela, still divided after an acrimonious election in October last year, declared a week of national mourning, and a senior minister said a new poll would be called within what are sure to be 30 tense days. Foreign Minister Elias Jaua said 58-year-old Chavez’s hand-picked successor Maduro would take over as interim leader pending the next election, declaring: «It is the mandate that comandante President Hugo Chavez gave us.» Hundreds of Chavez supporters crowded in front of the military hospital where he died, weeping and chanting «We are all Chavez!» and «Chavez lives!» as soldiers guarded the gate. «He was a man who taught us to love our fatherland,» said 40-year-old municipal worker Francis Izquierdo. «The comandante is physically gone but he remains in our hearts and we must continue building the fatherland.» International reaction was mixed, with many in Latin America and beyond hailing Chavez’s support for the poor but others expressing the hope that the iconic figure’s passing would lead to a more open political system. Venezuela’s closest ally, communist Cuba, declared its own mourning period for a leader who helped prop up their island economy with cheap fuel and cash transfers, and dubbed Chavez a «true son» of revolutionary Fidel Castro. But US President Barack Obama -- often a target of Chavez’s anti-American scorn -- was circumspect, pledging the United States would support the «Venezuelan people» and describing Chavez’s passing as a «challenging time.»

International News… VIETNAM TO BAN SHORT, FAT TRAFFIC POLICE IN HANOI Short, pot-bellied policemen will be banned from traffic duty in Vietnam’s capital Hanoi and given office jobs in a bid to improve the force’s public image. Details of the new height and weight restrictions were not available but the head of Hanoi’s traffic police said they were working on a list of cops who didn’t measure up and would be redeployed out of sight. «Police with pot-bellies, or who are too small, will be moved to office work to avoid their coming into contact with the public,» Colonel Dao Vinh Thang told AFP.
COMET PAN-STARRS HOLDS PROMISE A rare bright comet shows up in the northern hemisphere this week, cruising past Earth with promise of spectacular nakedeye viewings of the giant ball of ice and dust streaking the twilight sky with a blazing tail. Dubbed Pan-STARRS after the Hawaii-based telescope that first spotted it nearing our corner of the universe, the comet should be at its brightest from about Friday to the middle of next week, say astronomers. It is the first to pass within our line of sight this year -- squeezing between the sun and its nearest-orbiting planet, Mercury.
