BEIJING (AP) — Design flaws in signal equipment and human error caused last weekend's high-speed train crash in China that killed at least 39 people, a railway official said Thursday.
The preliminary finding comes in the face of public anger about the government's handling of the accident near Wenzhou in Zhejiang province.

Premier Wen Jiabao, who arrived in Wenzhou on Thursday to check on the investigation and the conditions of the survivors, has called for a sweeping and transparent probe into the crash between two bullet trains, which also hurt more than 190 people.
Six train cars derailed and four fell about 65 to 100 feet (20 to 30 meters) from a viaduct Saturday night after one train plowed into the back of another train that had stalled after being hit by lightning.
An Lusheng, head of the Shanghai Railway Bureau, said there were design problems with the signal light equipment at the Wenzhou South Station and dispatchers did not send any warnings after the lightning strike.
"After the lightning strike caused a failure, an interval signal machine that should have shown a red light mistakenly upgraded it to a green light instead," An said in comments carried by state broadcaster CCTV.
The Beijing National Railway Research and Design Institute of Signal and Communication, which designed the signal equipment, on Thursday issued a letter of apology to the families of the victims and the injured passengers.
It said it would cooperate with the investigation and would "have the courage to assume responsibility and accept the punishment deserved."
Wen's visit comes a day after more than 20 relatives of people who died in the crash gathered at the Wenzhou South Station, holding banners demanding answers regarding the accident's cause, Chinese media reported.
"After such a big thing has happened, the railway departments cannot hide behind while they let the local governments deal with it and solve it. They are slow and won't show their faces. Is it the government that wants to protect them, or has the government been threatened by them?" one man surnamed Lin who lost his elder brother, Lin Xiao, in the crash, told the Yangcheng Evening News.
The government has ordered a two-month safety campaign for its railway system amid questions about how the crash occurred. Wen called for the campaign to be widened to target all transport infrastructure, coal mines, construction sites, and industries dealing with dangerous chemicals.
The accident was the biggest blow yet to China's burgeoning high-speed rail ambitions that have been highlighted as a symbol of the countries rising economic and technological prowess.
Rapid expansion of the services has been dogged by concerns about safety, corruption scandals and criticism that schedules are impractical and tickets too expensive for ordinary Chinese. Open just one month, the much-hyped 820-mile (1,318-kilometer) Beijing-Shanghai line has been plagued by power outages and other malfunctions.
Saturday's accident outside the eastern city of Wenzhou prompted an outpouring of anger among the public and even in the usually docile state media, with questions posed over the cause of the crash and the government's handling of the aftermath.
The firing of three top officials at the Shanghai Railway Bureau did little to tamp down criticism that authorities made only passing attempts to rescue survivors while ordering tracks swiftly cleared to restore service.

China high-speed crash shows leaders struggle to keep up


BEIJING (Reuters) - The backlash over a train crash that killed at least 40 people has handed a stinging lesson to China's ruling Communist Party, struggling to keep up with a public whose thirst for candour and accountability is outrunning traditional top-down controls.
The popular anger unleashed by last Saturday's high-speed rail accident in eastern China and echoing this week across the Internet and in an emboldened press, has shown that China's heady economic growth has not inoculated leaders from widespread popular distrust of secretive and remote officialdom.
The surge of anger hasn't approached any level that would challenge Party rule. But it has served as a warning to Beijing leaders that censorship is a weak weapon against opinions speeding across the Internet.

ANALYSIS - Libya rebel killing takes shine off opposition gains


LONDON (Reuters) - The still-unexplained killing of Libya's rebel military commander will further undermine outside confidence in an already fragmented opposition, with some suspecting an internal feud is to blame.

BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - Libyan rebels said on Friday the gunmen who shot dead the rebel military chief were fighters of an allied militia, in apparent confirmation of deep rifts among the forces struggling to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi.

There had been widespread speculation as to whether Younes had been killed in an internal rebel feud or by Gaddafi forces which had penetrated the Benghazi-based movement.

Parts of North Korean land mines wash up in South

  • South Korean army soldiers search for North Korean land mines near the demilitarized …
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Parts of North Korean land mines washed down a swollen river into South Korea, and troops searched for other mines that may have been dislodged by deadly landslides and flooding that has stricken the peninsula.
Two wooden North Korean mine boxes were found in a river in Cheolwon on the South Korean side of the Demilitarized Zone. The boxes were empty, the detonators and explosives believed to have been lost in the current, a Defense Ministry official said Friday.
Soldiers were searching the area for other North Korean mines, said the official, who requested anonymity based on department rules. He said accidental dislodgement was suspected rather than North Korea intentionally sending the mines downstream.
North Korean mines have floated south on river currents in the past. Dozens of wood box mines swept south after heavy rains last year, killing a South Korean and injuring another.
There were fears, too, that South Korean land mines may be buried in the debris of a deadly landslide in Seoul.
The mines are a reminder of the continued danger of war on the Korean peninsula. The DMZ is heavily mined, but South Korea has also buried the weapons over the years mainly to defend military installations.
Some of those mines were planted decades ago at Wumyeon Mountain in southern Seoul, where a landslide on Wednesday killed 16 people. Most of the mines had been removed between 1999 and 2006, but 10 mines have not been accounted for, officials said.
About 140 South Korean soldiers gripping metal detectors searched for land mines on Wumyeon Mountain and around South Korean army installations near the border to prevent them from harming people.
Torrential downfalls since Tuesday have severely disrupted life in Seoul and its surrounding areas, submerging streets filled with idled cars, flooding subway stations and forcing businesses to shut. At least 50 people have been killed.
Weather conditions greatly improved Friday with little rain, a welcome relief from days of downpours. Traffic problems eased and many people returned to homes. In Gyeonggi province near Seoul, some searching was still going on for bodies or possible survivors, though most efforts focused on cleanup.
The official death toll of 50 does not include 11 other people who died in accidents amid the rains that emergency officials say were caused by negligence. They cited a man who was drunk and went swimming in the floodwaters and drowned.
Heavy rains also pummeled North Korea, destroying homes and buildings, state media have reported in recent days.
The Korean Central News Agency said late Friday that the country is suffering "seriously" from flooding, with more than 1,605 acres (650 hectares) of cropland flooded in North Hwanghae province and roads, houses and public buildings destroyed.
"A detailed survey is now under way and necessary measures have been taken to recover from the damage," the report said.
North Korea is particularly susceptible to damage from flooding due to poor drainage and widespread deforestation, according to agronomists.

Review: ‘Khap’ is a social-drama gone horribly wrong!

Review: ‘Khap’ is a social-drama gone horribly wrong!























Spicezee Bureau 

Issue based films come with a huge risk of stirring communal passion among audiences, who aren’t gracious enough to accept art for art’s sake. In such a scenario, Ajai Sinha’s ‘Khap’ tries to take up the burning issue of honour killings of couples marrying in same-clan in most parts of North India.



Khap - Unrealistic, hasty and unartful


What is it all about?
Can you have a candy gloss feel, a romantic duet, a separation song, in a thought provoking issue based genre film...? Well Ajay Sinha accomplishes this feat with tremendous ease. The movie shifts genre faster than your TV channel remote without any remorse.
Exactly... who ever watches this flick will share the same sentiment - WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? One film old helmer Ajai Sinha (Stop in 2004 starring Tejaswini Kolhapure and Om Puri) in the company of his four writers Ishan Trivedi, Vinod Ranganath, Vijay Verma and Alok Lal fail to tell us what exactly is 'Khap', what it does and from where it comes from.
The concept of Khap is ancient; written references are found as far back as Rig Vedic times. It was a system of social administration and organization in the republics of Northwestern Indian states such as Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. 'Khap' is a term for a social-political grouping and used in a geographical sense. Other parallel terms are Pal, Ganasangha, Janapada or republic.
