- "U.S.,
India reach deal on nuclear technology." ... "The
United States and India announced Friday a landmark deal on nuclear cooperation
for civil purposes that they said will benefit both countries and strengthen
international non-proliferation efforts." ... "But the deal is drawing
criticism as being too conciliatory to India and opening the way to the
spread of nuclear weapons." ... "Several steps need to be taken before
the agreement can be implemented. India must negotiate an inspection regime
with the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency,
and gain approval from the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group." ... "The
U.S. Congress must also review the deal. Many lawmakers and non-proliferation
experts have voiced concern about what they see as U.S. concessions to
New Delhi. In particular, the United States has agreed to ensure continued
delivery of nuclear fuel to India even if it tests a nuclear weapon and
the United States suspends cooperation, as required by law." ... "U.S.
officials said that a further Indian nuclear test is unlikely, although
the Indian government has maintained its right to test nuclear weapons
and the deal does not place India's considerable nuclear weapons arsenal
under international monitoring." -By Elise Labott

- "Guess
Who's Mad At George Allen Now? Confederate Group
Slams Va. Senator For Demeaning Rebel Flag." ... "[Virginia Republican]
Sen. George Allen's use [of] the word "macaca" for a young man of Indian
descent forced him to spend the past six weeks disputing claims that his
past is littered with racist language and a fondness for Confederate symbols."
... "What had been a warm-up race for a 2008 presidential [election] bid
has become the fight of Allen's political life. He had been a strong [2006
election] favorite over Democrat Jim Webb, a decorated combat veteran who
once served as President Reagan's Navy secretary." ... "Stories about how
the Confederate flag he kept in his home and a hangman's noose in his law
office have gained new currency. At a debate, Allen was startled and irritated
by a question about whether his grandfather was Jewish, then confirmed
it a day later." -AP

- "Outsourcing
outrage: Indian call-center workers suffer abuse."
... "While irate calls are a mainstay of customer service work in any country,
many Indian call-center workers say they regularly face particular abuse
from Americans, whose tantrums are sometimes racist and often inspired
by anger over outsourcing." ... "Such telephone tirades are fueled by outrage
over outsourcing, which is expected to move 3.4 million U.S. service-sector
jobs
overseas by 2015, according to the consultancy Forrester. Most of the work
comes to India, where young, low-cost employees now handle a range of American
tasks --they draw cartoons, interpret heart scans, adjudicate insurance
claims, reserve flights and chase debtors." -By Mike

- "Police
Keep Kashmiris From Crossing Border." ... "Pakistani
police fired tear gas to disperse Kashmiri villagers Monday when some tried
to cross into Indian territory during an unprecedented frontier ceremony
by the South Asian rivals to exchange aid for victims of the Oct. 8 quake."
... "The border opening that India and Pakistan agreed to last month was
supposed to have been a much grander gesture: letting Kashmiris cross at
five points to check on long-lost relatives and visit relief camps set
up along the frontier." ... "But India on Saturday said it was prepared
to open only one crossing, and on Sunday officials on both sides said bureaucratic
wrangling would delay chances for people to cross, partly because India
must be assured that no Muslim militants will head into Indian territory."

Pakistan and India following the quake, which is estimated to have claimed

arrives as toll tops 42,000." ... "The death toll
from the massive South Asia earthquake soared above 42,000 as the first
trickle of humanitarian aid began to flow into the region, authorities
said." ... "Meanwhile, 120 metric tons of ready-to-eat food arrived Tuesday,
enough to feed 240,000 people for five days, a World Food Programme spokesman
told CNN." ... "Another 80 million metric tons of food aid is in the pipeline,
Amjad Jamal said." ... "But he acknowledged the need was great and said
appeals were being made to the international community for additional donations
of food, supplies and money." ... "Even with many far-flung areas still
not reached, the death toll has hit 41,000 in Pakistan alone, with another
1,239 dead in India and one reported death in Afghanistan, officials have
said." -By Andrew Stevens, Satinder Bindra, Matthew

- "Quake
relief fights tough terrain: The Asian temblor is
being described as the worst disaster in Pakistan's history." ... "Relief
workers and military officials on both sides of the border in the Himalayan
region of Kashmir struggled to reach hundreds of villages cut off by the
worst earthquake to hit this region in a century. Estimates of the death
toll ranged Monday between 20,000 and 30,000. Relief agencies have put
out a massive appeal for food, tents, and medicines for an estimated 2.5
million people who are thought to be homeless - a number similar in scope
to the Indian Ocean tsunami." ... "Just as Americans voiced anger at the
slow response of emergency relief agencies in the wake of hurricane Katrina,
many Kashmiris in both the Indian and Pakistani portions of the divided
territory decried what they called a slow emergency response." ... "The
earthquake of Oct. 8 could be a crucial test of both the military-dominated
government of President Pervez Musharraf, as well as renewed peace efforts
between India and Pakistan, who both claim the quake-ravaged state of Kashmir."

Presses China Over Bird Flu Samples." ... "Chinese
authorities have yet to release samples gathered in the western province
of Qinghai, where at least 6,000 migratory birds have died, Wadia said."
... "Over the last two years, hundreds of millions of birds, including
poultry and wild birds, have died or been slaughtered across Asia because
of the H5N1 bird flu virus, which also has infected some humans, killing
more than 55 people in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia, which
reported three new human deaths from bird flu Wednesday." ... "Health experts
have warned that migratory geese and gulls in Qinghai could be poised to

seals nuclear agreement with India." ... "In a detailed
joint statement issued after talks on[e] day in Washington with Manmohan
Singh, India's prime minister, Mr Bush said he would seek agreement from
Congress to end more than four decades of sanctions that have barred full
US co-operation with India on civilian nuclear energy programmes." ...
"In return for the US pledges, India agreed that it was “ready to assume
the same responsibilities and practices and acquire the same benefits and
advantages as other leading countries with advanced nuclear technology.”"
... "This would include voluntarily placing its civilian nuclear facilities
under International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards, agreeing to additional
measures under the IAEA protocol, and co-operating fully in international
schemes to prevent the spread of nuclear enrichment and re-processing technologies."

contrast between China and India, the world's largest democracy, which
America is courting as a counter-weight to the communist nation." (1, 2)
