A senior official in the party of the Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has given the strongest indication yet that the parliamentary election due next month will be postponed. He said a delay of about two months will be realistic. xx reports from Islamabad.

The decision on whether or not to postpone the elections will not be taken officially until the Election Committee holds its emergency meeting on Monday. But this is the clearest indication yet that voting is unlikely to take place as scheduled on January 8. A spokesman for the government has told the AP news agency that he expects it to be delayed by up to two months. The announcement coincides with the reading of Ms Bhutto's will by her 19-year-old son Bilawal, who many believe will be named as her successor. The PPP is deciding whether to take part in elections or not.

 

Intense discussions are under way in Kenya to end the deadlock over Thursday's presidential election. Both President Mwai Kibaki and his main opponent Raila Odinga are claiming victory and made widespread accusations of vote-rigging. Mr. Odinga has demanded a full revaluation of the count.

Raila Odinga spoke publicly for the first time since polling day. He said he had won the presidential race and he called for a full revaluation of the results that the Electoral Commission of Kenya has been announcing here at their headquarters in Nairobi. A report quoting an official from President Kibaki's party says they will be prepared to accept such process. It might take many hours or even days to complete. It is now approaching three days since polls closed. Tension and anger is growing because of the huge delay.

The Election Commission in Pakistan says the violence which erupted following the assassination of the opposition leader Benazir Bhutto has hindered preparations for next month's parliamentary elections. It's to hold an emergency meeting on Monday to decide if the vote can still go ahead. More than 30 people have been killed in the unrest. One of Ms Bhutto's political rivals, the opposition party leader Nawaz Sharif is visiting her grave today. xx reports from Islamabad.

Other opposition leaders have joined Nawaz Sharif to call for a boycott of the elections, insisting it would be impossible for candidates to campaign in public in the current climate. The US State Department has been pushing for the elections to go ahead if it's safe to do so, and the government hasn't announced plans to postpone them. But there may be practical reasons why the elections may not be held. The Chief Election Commissioner has called an emergency meeting in Islamabad for the 31st because of the law and order situation.

But the spokeswoman for the Pakistan People's Party Sherry Rehman dismissed the official account as nonsense.

To hear that Ms Bhutto fell from an impact from a bump on the sunroof is absolutely ... it's rubbish, it's dangerous nonsense, because it implies that there was no assassination attempt when that has been shown on all private television channels. She did not concuss her head against the sunroof.

A team of scientists in London is developing a technique which could allow surgeons to carry out complex procedures without having to cut into patients' skin. The team at Imperial College has been given four million dollars to build and test a surgical robot called the i-Snake. Mark Saunders reports.

The i-Snake, a long tube housing special motors, sensors and imaging tools, has the potential to allow complex heart and bowel operations to be carried out without making any incision. The device would be inserted into the patient through the mouth or another orifice. Conventional keyhole surgery requires several cuts to be made. The i-Snake could mean cheaper, less invasive treatment. Operations would be faster and recovery time quicker.

BACKGROUND

Ms Bhutto's two terms as prime minister, from 1988-90 and from 1993-96, both ended in controversy and charges of corruption against Bhutto and her husband.

Nawaz Sharif was elected prime minister in 1990 as the PML won a majority position in the national assembly. He stepped down in 1993 after feuding with President Ghulam Ishaq Khan, but was elected again in 1997.

 

With about half the votes counted in the general election in Kenya, it's clear that the cabinet of President Mwai Kibaki has been emphatically rejected, but the battle for the presidency between Mr. Kibaki and his leading opponent Raila Odinga will be very close. Our East Africa correspondent Karen Allen reports from Nairobi.

Voters have delivered a clear message to President Kibaki's government: they are dissatisfied with this delivery and they want change. Twenty cabinet ministers including prominent figures like the Vice President and Foreign Minister have lost their seats and a number of junior ministers have also gone. But all eyes are focused on the presidential race. It looks like voter turnout has reached record levels here in Kenya. Raila Odinga, the main challenger, has maintained his lead, but as more votes poured in overnight, the gap between him and President Mwai Kibaki, who's fighting for a second term, has significantly narrowed.

 

emphatically reject

The Supreme Court has emphatically rejected efforts by voucher proponents to force unwilling states to fund private religious education with public money.

When Ceylon Tamils demanded self-determination within the Sri Lankan state, this was emphatically rejected by the government.

The official news agency in China says Beijing will consider allowing the people of Hong Kong to elect their own leader directly by 2017. The move comes in response to a report submitted by Hong Kong's Chief Executive Donald Tsang which requested direct elections by 2012. From Beijing here's James Reynolds.

During a televised press conference in Hong Kong, the territory's Chief Executive Donald Tsang said the target date for universal suffrage had now been defined, the year 2017. We must treasure this hard-earned opportunity. Up till now, Hong Kong's leader, its Chief Executive, has always been chosen by an 800-member election committee. This committee is loyal to Beijing.

At least 28 people are thought to have been killed in an oil pipeline explosion in the commercial capital Lagos. From there Alex Last has sent this report.

Police said the accident occurred in the early hours of Christmas morning near a village on the coast just outside Lagos. Dozens have gathered with buckets and jerry cans to collect fuel leaking from a pipeline when it suddenly exploded. Rescue workers who arrived at the scene described seeing dozens of charred bodies. They said it's still not clear just how many died, nor is it clear if the pipeline was deliberately tapped into. But such incidents are all too common in Nigeria, where 77% live in poverty and many are willing to take huge risks to obtain free fuel. Last year more than 250 people were killed in a similar pipeline explosion in Lagos.

 

Many of them are thought to have been made between 5000 and 10000 years ago.
