Giant panda in China bites third victim

Gu Gu is not your typical soft and cuddly giant panda. By John Vause [Decrease font] [Decrease font] [Enlarge font] [Enlarge font] (CNN) - Gu Gu is not your typical soft and cuddly giant panda. [Gu Gu has bitten three people, despite a sign that asks visitors to stay away from the rail.] Zhang Jiao was attacked by Gu Gu the panda when he fell into the pen at the Beijing Zoo on Wednesday. For the third time, he's tasted the flesh of an unwitting intruder in his pen at the Beijing Zoo. His most recent victim was -year-old Zhang Jiao, who told CNN he fell into the panda pen Wednesday while trying to catch a small toy thrown by his young son. "My son and I were playing with a panda doll, throwing it to each other, when I dropped with the toy" into the pen, Zhang said. The barrier around the pen is about 5 feet tall, but on the other side is a drop of 9 to 0 feet, and Zhang says he could not climb out. That's when Gu Gu went on the attack. The -pound giant panda sunk his teeth into Zhang's left leg before moving on to the right leg. "The panda is a national treasure, and I love and respect [him], so I didn't fight back," Zhang said. "The panda didn't let go until it chewed up my leg and its mouth was dripping with my blood." Zookeepers needed to use tools to pry open Gu Gu's jaws. Zhang said he never imagined a panda could be so vicious. "I always thought they were cute and just ate bamboo," Zhang said. According to Dr. Wang Tianbing, who treated Zhang, his wounds were severe, especially the damage done to the muscle and ligaments in his left leg. "Normally, we think the panda is very tender animal, but actually it's a bear, not a cat. If the animal thinks it will be hurt by human beings, it is very dangerous." Wang should know. In , he treated another one of Gu Gu's victims, a -year-old boy who climbed into the pen to get a closer look. A year earlier, state media reported that a drunken tourist tried to hug the panda, who bit him. In an odd twist, the tourist reportedly bit back. But being an endangered species and much-loved national icon means there's no "three strikes and you're out" for Gu Gu. In fact, there's a possibility Zhang may face charges for entering the panda pen. Zoo officials did not respond to CNN's request for an interview but are reportedly considering new measures to keep tourists out of Gu Gu's pen.

Nigeria militants release photos of hostages

A Nigerian militant group released pictures Sunday of two Britons identified as captive oil workers, saying the men were Read, VIDEO . [Decrease font] [Decrease font] [Enlarge font] [Enlarge font] (CNN) - A Nigerian militant group released pictures Sunday of two Britons identified as captive oil workers, saying the men were "alive and well" and that more such Western workers would be taken hostage if the country does not stop exporting its oil wealth. The photos, sent in an e-mail by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), show the men, identified as Robin Barry Hughes and Matthew John Maguire, standing on a dirt path wearing dirty shorts and flip flops. The pictures were "recent," MEND said in a written statement, but it is unclear when they were taken. MEND, formed in , has taken American and European oil workers hostages in the past. The group is calling for more of the African nation's oil wealth to be pumped into the region - instead of going to foreign investors - and the release of political prisoners. The United States Agency for International Development says more than 0 percent of Nigeria lives on less than a dollar a day - the population is among the 0 poorest in the world. Nigeria's federal government and oil companies split oil profits roughly . The money is then supposed to make its way down to the local governments to fund various projects, but little money actually reaches its intended destination. The country's anti-corruption agency estimates between $0 billion to $0 billion has been stolen or wasted over the last 0 years.

"We call for their immediate and unconditional release and will remain in close contact with their families," the spokeswoman said, though she declined to elaborate on whether the families had seen the photos. "Our thoughts are with them on this deeply distressful time." Violence in oil-rich Nigeria has been limiting crude supplies out of the country. MEND has been attacking oil pipelines in retaliation against government forces, limiting the amount of crude oil that can be exported. MEND also repeated its threat that the men would be held hostage until the Nigerian government releases one of the group's members, Henry Okah, who was taken into custody last year and, according to local reports, is charged with treason.

China tops world in Internet users

Learn more about China's Internet censorship » Don't Miss - Analyst: China Internet move part of global trend, Report: China targets Web sites with 'porn' content, Experts: Internet filtering and censorship rife, Transcript of interview with Wen Jiabao. Earlier this month, China released a blacklist of 9 major online portals and Web sites, including Google and Baidu, that it claims provide and spread pornographic or obscene content. The move came as several Chinese government agencies, including the Ministry of Public Security, launched a month-long campaign to clean up the Web, according to the state-run Xinhua news service. China has come under criticism for restricting Web access to ordinary citizens as well as on local and foreign media covering last year's summer Olympics in Beijing. The U.S. State Department noted in a 8 report that China had increased its efforts to "control and censor the Internet, and the government had tightened restrictions on freedom of speech and the domestic press" and bloggers. In an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria in September , Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao said, "the freedom of Internet in China is recognized by many, even from the West." "Nonetheless, to uphold state security, China, like many countries in the world, has also imposed some proper restrictions. That is for the safety, that is for the overall safety of the country and for the freedom of the majority of the people."

Israel, Hamas brush off U.N., keep fighting

[Relatives mourn a journalist and his wife who were killed in an airstrike on Gaza City.] A Palestinian inspects rubble Friday after an overnight airstrike in Rafah in southern Gaza. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel was disregarding the U.N. vote because the resolution will not be heeded by "murderous" Palestinian groups. The firing of rockets from Gaza into southern Israel on Friday, he said, "proves the U.N. resolution is not practical." "The state of Israel has never agreed that any outside body would determine its right to defend the security of its citizens. The IDF will continue operations in order to defend Israeli citizens and will carry out the missions with which it has been assigned in the operation," Olmert said. Shortly after the Security Council vote, Hamas also rejected the resolution, the Paris daily newspaper Le Figaro reported. The resolution "does not serve our interests nor that of the people of Palestine," said Hamas official Raafat Morra, speaking from Lebanon. "It does not take into account the aspirations and the principal objectives of the Palestinian people." Roughly 8 Palestinians and 3 Israelis, including 0 soldiers, have been killed since Israel began its air and ground assault, which it says is meant to stop Hamas militants from continuing to use the territory to lob rockets into southern Israel.

EU: Russia gas should restart immediately

The European Union has finalized a deal on sending monitors to supervise supplies of Russian gas through Ukraine, an EU spokesman said Friday. Read, VIDEO, PHOTOS, MAP . [Decrease font] [Decrease font] [Enlarge font] [Enlarge font] (CNN) - The European Union has finalized a deal on sending monitors to supervise supplies of Russian gas through Ukraine, an EU spokesman said Friday. [A Bulgarian man chops wood for heating after their gas supplies were cut.] A Bulgarian man chops wood for heating after their gas supplies were cut. "Conditions for sending the monitors are now and place and gas should start to flow immediately without further delay," Ferran Darradellas told CNN. The deal raised hopes that millions of Europeans would soon have their gas switched on again, two days after the Russian supplies flowing through Ukraine to the continent were shut off amid a dispute between Russian energy giant Gazprom and Ukraine's state-run gas company, Nafrogaz. Gas did not immediately resume flowing through the pipelines after the EU's announcement, however, Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kurprianov said. After a flurry of meetings Thursday, representatives from all sides were in further negotiations Friday about the composition of the monitoring delegations. All sides told CNN that monitors were heading to Ukraine, but the makeup of that delegation was still unclear. Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek was among those heading to the Ukrainian capital of Kiev on Friday to discuss the deal, a spokeswoman for the Czech EU presidency, Emma Smetana, told CNN.

The situation is rooted in a dispute between Ukraine and Russia over pricing and contractual terms dating back nearly a year. The two sides failed to reach agreement, leading Gazprom to shut off Ukraine's gas supply at the start of the year. Gas flowing through Ukraine to Europe initially continued to flow under international transit agreements, but that European supply was completely cut off Wednesday, leaving millions of Europeans facing an especially cold winter without gas. iReporter shivers in Ukraine Gazprom and Naftogaz blamed the other for shutting the European supply. The EU has called the situation "unacceptable." About a quarter of Europe's gas supplies come from Gazprom. Among Gazprom's accusations is that Ukraine siphoned off Russian gas intended for Europe when its own supply was cut. Ukraine denies allegations of impropriety and called for independent investigations.

Ssangyong is seeking court receivership and filed its application for protection from creditors with the Seoul Central District Court, the company said in a statement. During reorganization, Ssangyong plans to cut costs through voluntary retirement and paid leave, according to the statement. Ssangyong is the South Korean unit of China's Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. which holds a 1 percent share in the company. Ssangyong has been battered by the global financial downturn and credit crunch like many other automakers. A large portion of the company's profits used to come from SUVs, which was hurt by high gas prices earlier in the year before the credit crunch additionally cut into sales. Last year vehicle sales at Ssangyong dropped nearly 0 percent, the Yonhap news agency reported.

EU: Russia gas should restart immediately

The European Union has finalized a deal on sending monitors to supervise supplies of Russian gas through Ukraine, an EU spokesman said Friday. Read, VIDEO, PHOTOS, MAP . [Decrease font] [Decrease font] [Enlarge font] [Enlarge font] (CNN) - The European Union has finalized a deal on sending monitors to supervise supplies of Russian gas through Ukraine, an EU spokesman said Friday. [A Bulgarian man chops wood for heating after their gas supplies were cut.] A Bulgarian man chops wood for heating after their gas supplies were cut. "Conditions for sending the monitors are now and place and gas should start to flow immediately without further delay," Ferran Darradellas told CNN. The deal raised hopes that millions of Europeans would soon have their gas switched on again, two days after the Russian supplies flowing through Ukraine to the continent were shut off amid a dispute between Russian energy giant Gazprom and Ukraine's state-run gas company, Nafrogaz. Gas did not immediately resume flowing through the pipelines after the EU's announcement, however, Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kurprianov said. After a flurry of meetings Thursday, representatives from all sides were in further negotiations Friday about the composition of the monitoring delegations. All sides told CNN that monitors were heading to Ukraine, but the makeup of that delegation was still unclear. Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek was among those heading to the Ukrainian capital of Kiev on Friday to discuss the deal, a spokeswoman for the Czech EU presidency, Emma Smetana, told CNN. Don't Miss - Gas row flares as supplies to Europe cut, Explainer:  Russia cuts off Ukraine's gas, Gazprom:  Russia's most powerful company, Facing gas shortages? Send your stories, videos. The situation is rooted in a dispute between Ukraine and Russia over pricing and contractual terms dating back nearly a year. The two sides failed to reach agreement, leading Gazprom to shut off Ukraine's gas supply at the start of the year. Gas flowing through Ukraine to Europe initially continued to flow under international transit agreements, but that European supply was completely cut off Wednesday, leaving millions of Europeans facing an especially cold winter without gas. iReporter shivers in Ukraine Gazprom and Naftogaz blamed the other for shutting the European supply. The EU has called the situation "unacceptable." About a quarter of Europe's gas supplies come from Gazprom. Among Gazprom's accusations is that Ukraine siphoned off Russian gas intended for Europe when its own supply was cut. Ukraine denies allegations of impropriety and called for independent investigations.

During reorganization, Ssangyong plans to cut costs through voluntary retirement and paid leave, according to the statement. Ssangyong is the South Korean unit of China's Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. which holds a 1 percent share in the company. Ssangyong has been battered by the global financial downturn and credit crunch like many other automakers. A large portion of the company's profits used to come from SUVs, which was hurt by high gas prices earlier in the year before the credit crunch additionally cut into sales. Last year vehicle sales at Ssangyong dropped nearly 0 percent, the Yonhap news agency reported.

IDF: Overnight strikes target Hamas

The Israeli military said it carried out air attacks on 0 targets in Gaza and killed 5 Hamas fighters in battles overnight and Saturday morning. Read, VIDEO, PHOTOS, BACKGROUND . [Decrease font] [Decrease font] [Enlarge font] [Enlarge font] (CNN) - The Israeli military said it carried out air attacks on 0 targets in Gaza and killed 5 Hamas fighters in battles overnight and Saturday morning. [Smoke rises Saturday over Gaza City from artillery strikes.] Smoke rises Saturday over Gaza City from artillery strikes. Five Israeli soldiers were "lightly wounded," the Israel Defense Forces said Saturday. One mortar shell launched from Gaza landed in Israel overnight, the IDF said. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel was disregarding the U.N. vote because the resolution will not be heeded by "murderous" Palestinian groups. The firing of rockets from Gaza into southern Israel on Friday, he said, "proves the U.N. resolution is not practical." "The state of Israel has never agreed that any outside body would determine its right to defend the security of its citizens. The [Israel Defense Forces] will continue operations in order to defend Israeli citizens and will carry out the missions with which it has been assigned in the operation," Olmert said. The Cabinet also decided to continue humanitarian activity in Gaza and keep up efforts "to prevent the smuggling of war materiel into the Gaza Strip." The Cabinet was briefed on meetings that Israeli Maj. Gen. Amos Gilad had with Egyptian officials over a proposed Egyptian-French truce plan. Hamas also rejected the resolution, the Paris, France, daily newspaper Le Figaro reported. The resolution "does not serve our interests nor that of the people of Palestine," said Hamas official Raafat Morra, speaking from Lebanon. "It does not take into account the aspirations and the principal objectives of the Palestinian people." At least 2 Palestinians have been killed since Israel began its air and ground assault, a U.N. official said, citing numbers from the Palestinian Health Ministry. [Photo] See images from the offensive » The official said the Health Ministry is reporting that about 0 Palestinians have been wounded in the past two weeks. Thirteen Israelis, including 0 soldiers, have also have so far been killed, IDF said. One soldier was moderately wounded and two others were lightly wounded during the day, but no deaths were reported Friday. Israel has repeatedly defended its offensive, which it says is meant to stop Hamas militants from continuing to use the territory to lob rockets into southern Israel.

The Security Council called overwhelmingly for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza late Thursday, expressing "grave concern" at a mounting humanitarian crisis and heavy civilian casualties in the Palestinian territory. Fourteen of the council's 5 members voted in favor of Resolution , with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice abstaining from the vote on behalf of the United States. Rice said the United States prefers to wait on the results of ongoing Egyptian-brokered talks in Cairo between Israeli and Palestinian leaders. [Video] Watch why U.S. abstained from Security Council vote » The resolution "stresses the urgency of, and calls for, an immediate, durable and fully respected cease-fire which will lead to the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza." Although the resolution does not mention Hamas by name, it does condemn "all violence and hostilities directed against civilians and all acts of terrorism." A resolution from the council, particularly one that passes with such large support, can put international pressure on parties involved in a conflict. But they are in no way binding, and many in the past have been ignored by warring factions.

Prince Harry apologizes for racist remarks

Videos purportedly shot by Britain's Prince Harry and including offensive language prompted an official apology Saturday from the prince and the royal family. By Katy Byron [Decrease font] [Decrease font] [Enlarge font] [Enlarge font] (CNN) - Videos purportedly shot by Britain's Prince Harry and including offensive language prompted an official apology Saturday from the prince and the royal family. [Prince Harry apologized when video surfaced of him making offensive comments while on military duty in .] Prince Harry apologized when video surfaced of him making offensive comments while on military duty in . According to the British-based News of the World, which released the videos on its Web site, the videos show British soldiers while a voice presumed to be Harry's calls one solider a "Paki," and in another clip tells soldier wearing a cloth on his head that he looks "like a raghead." A spokesman for Prince Harry apologized in a statement released by St. James's Palace Saturday after the videos surfaced online, saying the prince "understands how offensive this term can be, and is extremely sorry for any offense his words might cause." The videos, filmed during his military service in , were shot by the prince, according to the Web site. In one video, a voice from behind the camera says "Ah, our little Paki Friend.Ahmed," as the camera zooms in on a soldier from across the room. The video does not show Prince Harry's face, but News of the World suggests that the voice is his. The soldiers were waiting for their flight to Cyprus for a mission, according to the Web site. The royal family said the 'paki' term was a nickname for a friend in his platoon. "There is no question that Prince Harry was in any way seeking to insult his friend," the St. James's Palace statement said. The second video was filmed after arriving in Cyprus, according to News of the World, and shows a British soldier with a cloth over his head. A voice, which the News of the World claims to be Harry's, is heard saying, "(expletive) me, you look like a raghead." In response to that comment, St. James's Palace said, "Prince Harry used the term 'raghead' to mean Taliban or Iraqi insurgent." The British Ministry of Defense said it was not aware of any complaints against Prince Harry and would investigate the allegations of inappropriate behavior, according to a written statement released Saturday. "Bullying and racism are not endemic in the Armed Forces," it said.

Zimbabwe opposition: 11 backers still missing

Zimbabwe's main opposition party has asked organizations such as the United Nations to help find 1 supporters who were allegedly abducted by government agents, a party spokesman said. [Decrease font] [Decrease font] [Enlarge font] [Enlarge font] HARARE, Zimbabwe (CNN) - Zimbabwe's main opposition party has asked organizations such as the United Nations to help find 1 supporters who were allegedly abducted by government agents, a party spokesman said. [Activist Jestina Mukoko arrives at court in Harare, Zimbabwe, last month.] Activist Jestina Mukoko arrives at court in Harare, Zimbabwe, last month. The 1 were among more than 0 MDC activists who have been taken since October by armed gunmen, said Nelson Chamisa, spokesman for the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). The kidnappers also seized the -year-old son of two abducted activists, Chamisa said. Thirty-two abducted activists, then in the hands of state security, appeared in court in December. They face charges of plotting to overthrow Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and bombing police stations in the capital, Harare. The activists deny the charges and have told courts that they were tortured while in police custody and coerced to confess to false allegations. The whereabouts of another 1 people are not known, Chamisa said. "Efforts by the MDC, relatives and the party's lawyers to locate their whereabouts have been fruitless as the police are claiming that they are not in police custody," he said. Don't Miss - Zimbabwe introduces $0 billion note, Zimbabwe court leaves activists in jail, Zimbabwe demands $0 fee from journalists, Zimbabwean lawyer: Law has broken down. The government of Zimbabwe has previously denied any wrongdoing in the matter, saying the activists face legitimate charges under Zimbabwean law. Calls to a police spokesman were not answered Sunday. The MDC has sought the support of the Southern African Development Community, African Union and United Nations, Chamisa said. The Southern African Development Community, formed in , is a loose alliance of nine majority-ruled states in southern Africa and is primarily aimed at coordinating development projects to reduce poverty. There has been a spate of kidnappings in Zimbabwe targeting mainly opposition supporters and human rights defenders. Chamisa said the party fears that the kidnapped activists have experienced "inhumane and degrading conditions during their detention." "Such behavior by Mugabe confirms that the regime is not sincere in working with us. I think it will only be fair to think of working together when we can account for every one of us," he said. Mugabe and MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai signed a power-sharing deal last September that was brokered by the former South African leader Thabo Mbeki on behalf of the SADC. The deal offered hope that Zimbabwe would not plunge into total economic chaos. But the pact has stalled over the allocation of key cabinet ministries, with Tsvangirai accusing Mugabe of grabbing all the key ministries such as defense, home affairs, local government, foreign affairs and finance. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe's worst humanitarian and economic crisis since its independence from Great Britain in 0 rages on, with a cholera epidemic that has claimed nearly 0 lives since August. Mugabe's government has declared the cholera epidemic a national emergency and called on international organizations for help. The U.N. says more than 5 million people are in dire need of food aid in a country that is facing acute shortages of essential items, ranging from fuel and electricity to cash and food. And those acute shortages, say economists, account for Zimbabwe's fast-dropping currency. The country is grappling with the world's highest inflation rate, officially estimated at 1 million percent. Mugabe's critics blame his economic policies for the crisis, but he accuses western nations of sabotaging the country's economy through sanctions.

China's tainted milk arrests reach 60

Chinese authorities have arrested 0 people in connection with the country's tainted milk scandal that killed six infants and sickened nearly 0 more, state media reported. Read, VIDEO . [Decrease font] [Decrease font] [Enlarge font] [Enlarge font] BEIJING, China (CNN) - Chinese authorities have arrested 0 people in connection with the country's tainted milk scandal that killed six infants and sickened nearly 0 more, state media reported. [Victims' relatives outside a court hold banners that read ] Victims' relatives outside a court hold banners that read "cannot deprive the victims' rights." The arrests have been made over the past several months, but most of the names or dates were not provided. "Twenty-one of them went on trial between December 6 and , including four executives of Sanlu Group," said Zhang Deli, the chief prosecutor in northern Hebei province, according to Xinhua news agency. "The court will announce the verdicts soon," Zhang told a session of the Hebei Provincial People's Congress. Tian Wenhua, former board chairwoman and general manager of Sanlu, pleaded guilty December 1 for her role in the scandal. She and three other executives are on trial for producing and selling fake or substandard products. They were arrested in late September. From early August to mid September, Sanlu Group produced 4 metric tons of melamine-tainted baby formula powder and sold 3 metric tons of tainted products made with contaminated milk, Xinhua reported. Chinese investigators found melamine in nearly 0 milk products from more than 0 companies, according to quality control official Li Changjiang, who was eventually forced to resign. Don't Miss - China milk exec faults lack of rules, China milk scandal executive pleads guilty, China dairies to compensate victims. The Ministry of Health has said the contamination likely caused the deaths of at least six babies. Another 0 infants suffered from urinary problems, such as kidney stones. The tainted formula came to light in September after babies who were fed milk powder produced by Sanlu Group, which has filed for bankruptcy, developed kidney stones. Melamine is commonly used in coatings and laminates, wood adhesives, fabric coatings, ceiling tiles and flame retardants. Some Chinese dairy plants added the chemical to milk products so they would appear to have a higher protein content. Victims of tainted baby formula were expected to be compensated by the 2 Chinese dairy producers that made the milk. "The enterprises offered to shoulder the compensation liability," the country's Dairy Industry Association said late last month, according to Xinhua. The dairies also raised money to cover medical bills for any after-effects suffered as a result of the poisoning, the association said. The group said victims will receive a one-time cash payment, but did not provide the amounts, according to Xinhua.

Hopes rise for Russia-Ukraine gas deal

Russia has said it will restore gas supplies to Europe after Ukraine dropped conditions that had angered Moscow. Read, VIDEO, PHOTOS, MAP . [Decrease font] [Decrease font] [Enlarge font] [Enlarge font] MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) - Russia has said it will restore gas supplies to Europe after Ukraine dropped conditions that had angered Moscow. [Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Ukraine had modified an EU-brokered gas deal.] A woman passes in front of a manometer set on a gas pipe in the Ukrainian city of Boyarka, near Kiev. Russia and Ukraine had earlier agreed to a deal brokered by the European Union to end a bitter, weeks-long standoff between the two countries. The dispute left countries from Turkey to the Baltics with reduced gas supplies during an unusually cold winter. Russia said the deal was off over the weekend because Ukraine - the key transit country - had attached unacceptable terms to the agreement. Russia responded furiously, with the country's president and prime minister and the head of Gazprom all weighing in. [Video] Watch what led to the breakdown in the deal » Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on television the attachment was unauthorized, and "ties up the existing problem (of transit) with issues that have nothing to do with it." Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller told Russia reporters the attachment was "an attempt to legalize the theft" of gas, Interfax reported. But Monday it appeared the deal was back on, and a delegation from Russia was heading to Brussels to sign the deal. "We held talks in Kiev this morning. After the talks the Ukrainian side signed the rules for monitoring natural gas transit via Ukraine without any additional remarks," Deputy Gazprom CEO Valery Golubev told reporters. Russia added that it was also hoping a deal would be done. "We keep our fingers crossed that this is not another game and we really have a proper document," Reuters.com quoted Putin's spokesman as saying.

Russia demanded sharply higher prices as of the beginning of the year, which Ukraine refused to pay. Russia shut off Ukraine's gas supply as the dispute escalated, and then cut all gas supplies to Europe on Wednesday. The Russian energy giant Gazprom and the Ukrainian company Naftogaz have been trading accusations about supply. The Russians have accused the Ukrainians of siphoning gas from the pipelines, while Ukraine says Russia has been pumping less than it should. The dispute has affected the supply of natural gas as far west as Germany and France. About a quarter of Europe's natural gas supply comes from Gazprom. Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the European Union, flew to Kiev and Moscow last week to broker the deal. Both sides agreed to allow international observers to monitor gas flow through the pipelines to end the argument about who was responsible for dips in supply. When the monitors are in place, Gazprom will start pumping gas for European consumers, Putin said Monday, according to Interfax. Even if a deal is signed, it could take from 0 to 0 hours for gas to be restored, Gazprom officials said, due to the need to rebuild pressure in the pipelines. At the moment, gas supplies are still off. The agreement does not resolve the dispute between Russia and Ukraine over prices for gas to Europe. It deals only with gas destined for Europe, which has already been paid for.

Arab nations split over brokering Gaza truce

[Israeli soldiers on the Israeli-Gaza border return after operations in Gaza.] A young Palestinian stands amid a wedding hall destroyed during Israeli strikes in Gaza City. Other Arab nations say they are attending an emergency meeting in Qatar, which has tried to take the lead in crafting an agreement between Israel and Hamas. For its part, Hamas is frustrated with the diplomatic tug-of-war. "We believed that the Arab summit was supposed to be held earlier," Hamas spokesman Mohammed Nizal said Wednesday. "Is it possible to get into the third week of this Zionist aggression against Gaza and the Arabs can't hold a summit for Gaza and to stop this aggression?" This issue has split the Arab nations into two camps - those, like Egypt, who want an end to Hamas' political influence, and others, like Qatar, who are more sympathetic to the organization, which rules Gaza. "What is happening in Gaza calls for a separate summit because of the blood that is being shed - our Palestinian brothers are in very difficult circumstances," said Qatar's Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim. Separately, Bolivia and Venezuela announced Wednesday they are breaking diplomatic relations with Israel over the conflict in Gaza. Venezuela's announcement came a week after it expelled Israel's ambassador and accused Israel of attempting to carry out "genocide" against the Palestinian people. Bolivian President Evo Morales said his government will ask that Israeli President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert be declared war criminals. Meanwhile, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon - who has repeatedly called for a halt in the fighting - headed to Jerusalem on Thursday after meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in the first of several days of talks around the region. Both Israel and Hamas, which has been firing rockets into cities in southern Israel, have ignored a U.N. resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire. [Video] Watch who may be responsible for the rockets » Ban is also scheduled to meet with Arab League leader Amr Moussa while in Cairo, Egypt, before heading to Jerusalem to meet with Israeli leaders. Israel has designated Hamas, which refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist, a terrorist organization and has refused to enter direct talks with the group. More than 0 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 0 wounded since the conflict began December , Palestinian officials said Wednesday. Israel said 0 of its soldiers and three civilians have been killed and more than 0 soldiers have been wounded. [Video] Watch Israeli pilot describe efforts to protect civilians » Israel's U.N.

"Evidence against Hamas abounds. Hamas terrorists launched rockets from school yards and rigged Palestinian schools with explosives as booby-traps," she said, accusing the militants of setting up shop in Gaza's largest hospital and exploiting Palestinian civilians. "Hamas' despicable and cynical use of targeting civilians is an appalling example of the toll terrorism takes on all civilians," Shalev said. Hamas is open to a cease-fire deal with Israel, but only if the Jewish state withdraws its forces from the Palestinian territory, according to Salah Bardwil, a spokesman for the Hamas Palestinian Legislative Council. "We are seeking all efforts to end the aggression and lift the blockade," Bardwil said. "We will not accept anything less than an immediate end to the aggression, the withdrawal of the troops, opening the crossings and lifting the blockade." "All crossings need to be opened and the siege must end." The Hamas spokesman said his delegation is still considering an Egyptian initiative for a cease-fire. "We submitted our suggestions after we discussed it back and forth with the brothers in the Egyptian leadership and we hope that this will lead to success, God willing," he said. Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev told CNN that he does not believe Hamas is interested in a lasting truce. "Hamas is under a lot of pressure and they would like nothing more than a time-out just to rearm, regroup and prepare for the next round," Regev told CNN. "And that's not the sort of cease-fire Israel will agree to." Elsewhere, Boliva broke diplomatic relations with Israel on Wednesday over its incursion into Gaza, President Evo Morales announced, saying his government wanted to declare Israeli President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as war criminals.
