The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called on the military government in Burma to concentrate on distributing aid to victims of cyclone Nargis rather than holding a constitutional referendum this weekend. The UN top humanitarian official John Holmes believes that as many as one and half million people may have been affected by the cyclone.

We are in touch, close touch with the Myanmar authorities to keep on pressing hard for more cooperation, for more facilitation or much greater ease of access if possible for waiver of visa and other requirements and for the expert staff who are needed to help the distribution. And I have to say I’m disappointed by progress we’ve seen.

A BBC correspondent says the Burmese army has began distributing significantly more aid in the worst-hit area, the Irrawaddy Delta, but nothing like enough to match the scale of the disaster.

Israeli Justice Ministry has confirmed that the Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is under criminal investigation on suspicion of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribe from a Jewish-American businessman.

In a brief televised statement, Ehud Olmert declared I never took bribes; I never took a penny for myself. Israeli Prime Minister said he would not resign unless he was formally charged. Mr. Olmert is alleged to have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a Jewish-American financier Morris Talansky. The Israeli Prime Minister is facing several investigations into alleged corruption but for the first time foreign observers are raising the possibility that peace efforts with the Palestinians could be deflected by the allegation swirling around the Israeli head of government.

Fighting in the Lebanese capital Beirut between pro-government groups and supporters of the opposition led by Hezbollah has continued into the night. Reports say at least seven people mainly civilians were killed and several others (were) wounded. The fighting started after the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah described recent government moves to curb its influence as a declaration of war. Spokesman for the American State Department David Foley condemned Hezbollah’s actions.

Certainly we call on Hezbollah to cease this violent action, and we call on Syria and Iran to stop their illegal assistance to Hezbollah, but certainly I could say that with them there is no suggestion of US military action in response to the renewed violence that’s not something that anybody is talking about.

A spokesman for the United States military in Iraq says they are unable to confirm reports that leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq Abu Ayyub al-Masri has been arrested. Earlier a defense ministry spokesman said Mr. al-Masri had been detained in the Northern city of Mosul.
