South Korea ferry trial: Captain HK protests thin as formal talks agreed Lee Joon admits error of judgment
have backfired on the government. When police fired tear gas and pepper spray on unarmed demonstrators on September 28, it caused an upsurge in support for protesters and brought tens of thousands of Hong Kong residents into the streets. The protesters are demanding a wider say in the inaugural 2017 elections for Hong Kong’s top official, known as the chief execu-
tive, than China’s central government is prepared to give them. Beijing, which controls Hong Kong but allows far more liberty here than on the mainland, insists candidates be screened by a committee of mostly pro-Beijing tycoons and other elites, raising fears of communist leaders’ tightening grip. L a t e M o n d ay, L a u Kong-wah, the territory’s undersecretary of constitutional affairs, said the government
and students had agreed on terms for talks, saying the two sides would enter discussions on an equal footing. Lester Shum, a leader of the Hong Kong Federation of Students, confirmed the agreement, but said they had not discussed or reached a consensus on the agenda. A date for the talks had not been set. On Monday, chief executive Leung Chun-ying, who has rejected the protest-
Along with the captain, eleven other members of the crew are also facing trial on lesser charges. GWANGJU, Oct 7 (AFP): The ship’s captain at the heart of South Korea’s ferry disaster acknowledged during his murder trial Tuesday that he had erred in leaving an inexperienced crew member at the helm when the vessel capsized. Testifying for the first time in court, Lee Joon-Seok also denied allegations by some of the crew that he was playing games on his mobile phone when the 6,825-tonne Sewol ran into trouble. The passenger ferry capsized and sank on April 16, with the loss of more than 300 lives — most of them school pupils. The findings released Monday of a five-month investigation by state prosecutors,
Fight against Ebola ‘top national security priority’: Obama HOUSTON, Oct 7 (PTI): US President Barack Obama has declared fight against Ebola “a top national security priority” and said that authorities would increase screening for the virus at airports both in America and in West Africa. Obama made the announcement on Monday after being briefed by Dr Thomas Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, Obama did not specify how screening would be changed. Frieden said that officials would explore a variety of

options. Obama also called for more help from other countries in fighting the outbreak in Africa. In Dallas, where the Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan remains in critical condition despite taking a trial drug, officials acknowledged that their city was on edge as it waited to learn if those he stayed with and medical workers became infected while caring for him. According to CDC, the maximum incubation period for the virus is 21 days, but symptoms typically appear in eight to 10 days.
Duncan, a 42-year-old Liberian who apparently contracted the virus before flying to the US, began complaining of symptoms on September 24 and was hospitalised in isolation on September 28. The 10-day threshold, therefore, will pass by the middle of this week. Thus far, none of the 10 people who officials say are at high risk -- three who shared an apartment with Duncan and seven health care workers -- have displayed any symptoms. An additional 38 people who are considered at lower

WASHINGTON, Oct 7 (PTI): Indian-American Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal has called for the extermination of the ISIS, saying the terrorist group has declared a war on the US and mere containing the outfit is the not the way forward. “I know the President doesn’t like to use these terms. we are in a war with ISIS. They’ve declared war on us, and whether he wants to call it that or not, that is a fighting conflict. We need to win that. We need to exterminate ISIS,” Jindal, believed to a potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate, said in his maiden foreign policy speech. “This is not about containing them. It’s not about expelling them. It’s about hunting them down and killing them. Obviously, we’ve got to complete that effort. America must prepare our defense forces not just to be able to win wars but to decisively win wars, to act as a deterrent against future conflict,” he said in his address to the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a Washingtonbased top US think-tank. Asserting that the world cannot accept a nuclear-armed Iran, he said that is not only an existential threat to Israel and other US allies in the region but a threat to the US as well. “I worry - almost a year ago now, the US, we announced this reprieve with Iran. We’ve seen no meaningful followthrough, no meaningful action since that time,” he said. “They’re only strengthening their abilities. They’re only hastening the day to which they will become a nuclear power, and the time for us to take decisive actions are running out,” he said.

concluded that a deadly combination of cargo overloading, illegal redesign and poor helmsmanship had caused the disaster. Under questioning by prosecutors in court, Lee, 69, said he knew that crew member Cho Jun-Ki, who was steering the ship after working the Sewol for only six months, did not have the required skill and experience. Lee, when asked if he should have taken the helm as the ship entered a channel notorious for its strong underwater currents, replied: “Yes, I guess so.” The Sewol, which was overloaded and top heavy following an illegal refit, made a sharp turn in the channel,
causing it to list sharply to one side. This caused the cargo to shift, and the ferry was unable to right itself, eventually turning full turtle and sinking. The bespectacled Lee, dressed in a khaki prison uniform with the number 3114, appeared tense and stammered during his testimony, in the court in the southwestern city of Gwangju. Lee and three senior crew members are accused of “homicide through wilful negligence” — a charge that can carry the death penalty. Eleven other crew are being tried on lesser violations of maritime law. The captain and crew were vilified for abandoning the ferry while hundreds were still trapped inside, and criticised for ordering passengers to remain where they were when the ship began listing. Asked where he was when the ferry ran into trouble, Lee said he was in his cabin “smoking and changing clothes”. He denied the allegation that he had been playing games on his phone. “No, I wasn’t playing a game. I wouldn’t know how to. I was just holding the smartphone,” he said. Lee has insisted that the ferry owners are the real culprits as it was their decision to habitually overload the vessel.

The protests have been largely peaceful despite disturbances after tear gas was deployed by police last week.
ers’ calls for him to resign, said in a TV address that the government would seek “a sincere dialogue on political reform.” At the same time, he urged the end to the blockade of the streets and issued veiled warnings that the authorities would eventually need to “restore social order.” “I hope that the protesters gathering on the roads, especially students and young people, could think this over: While fighting for a better future and democracy for Hong Kong by way of civil disobedience, should you also consider the prolonged disruption caused to the general public by the Occupy Central movement?” he said, referring to one of the protest group’s names. Primary schools in districts that were affected by the protests reopened Tuesday, a day after high school classes resumed. Civil servants returned to work after protesters cleared the area outside the city government headquarters, a focal point of the demonstrations that began September 26. But the city’s legislature, located in the same complex, postponed two meetings on Tuesday. Crowds also thinned markedly at two other protest sites. But traffic slowed to a crawl as drivers jammed nearby roads in the crowded city to divert around the occupation zones.

HONG KONG, OCT 7 (AGENCIES): The crowds of protesters who filled Hong Kong’s streets thinned dramatically on Tuesday after student leaders and the territory’s government agreed the previous night to hold talks in coming days to discuss protesters’ demands regarding electoral reforms. Just a couple days after tens of thousands of demonstrators filled the city’s streets over the weekend, only a few dozen students — who have formed the core of the protest movement — holding some stretches of occupied highway and traffic, once again snarling the city’s streets. One young protester sleepily brushed his teeth as rush hour began, spitting into a storm drain along the blockaded six-lane highway that cuts through the heart of Hong Kong’s business district. Nearby, a sleeping protester leaned back in a nylon chair, his mouth open and his eyeglasses askew. Despite their dwindling numbers, student leaders insisted the movement was far from defeated, and vowed to walk away from negotiations if the police used force to clear away the remaining demonstrators. “It’s up to the government now. This is the first step, but the pressure has to continue,” said Alex Chow, a student leader. E a r l i e r c r a c k d ow n s
