Leading the news this morning:

Julia Gillard's hopes of forming the next government have been dealt a serious blow. A recalculation of the two-party preferred vote shows the Coalition now more than 1,900 votes ahead of Labor. The Prime Minister had previously said the party with the higher count should be allowed to form governments.

The Prime Minister and the Opposition leader today will continue wooing the four independents who hold the balance of power in the Lower House. Hobart-based independent Andrew Wilkie says he could make a decision on who he'll support in government as early as today.

The former girlfriend of Pakistani fast bowler, Mohammad Asif, says the player told her about match-fixing deals he made in Australia last summer. The actress Veena Malik says Asif admitted Pakistan would not win a match in 2010. Asif is one of four Pakistani players questioned by police in London as part of a match-fixing investigation.

A group of the world's leading scientists has found the UN's climate body in need of fundamental reforms. Their report recommends changes to the way the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is run and the way science is presented. The IPCC has faced increasing pressure since its 2007 climate assessment wrongly predicted that Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035.

And in Slovakia, at least six people were killed and 14 injured when a man went on a morning rampage with an assault rifle. The shooting happened in a housing estate in the capital Bratislava. At least six of the dead were members of the same family.

Three Australians and a New Zealander were killed when their charter plane burst into flames in Papua New Guinea. The Trans Air plane overshot the runway on Misima Island and crashed into trees. One of the men killed was a 61-year-old marine pilot from Sydney. Consular officials in Port Moresby and Canberra are working with authorities to contact the families of those on board.

The chief executive of the Hawthorn Football Club says the sport’s drugs policy has failed. One of the club's players Travis Tuck is the first player to be suspended under the AFL's three strikes policy. Stuart Fox says the club was completely unaware of Tuck's drug taking and couldn't provide him with a support network. Tuck will miss 12 AFL matches and will have to pay a 5,000-dollar fine.

Four Israelis have been killed near a Jewish settlement in the West Bank in what police are describing as a terrorist attack. They were shot just two days before new peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians begin in Washington. Israeli police say a car came under attack near the settlement of Kyriat Arba near Hebron. Islamist Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip issued a statement on Tuesday claiming responsibility, calling it a heroic operation.

Iraq's prime minister says his country is independent as the US formally ends combat operations seven years after they began. Nouri al-Maliki says the country's security forces will now deal with all threats, domestic or external. While many Iraqis have welcomed the withdrawal, some say they believe it's happening too soon.

Israel  has hinted at a compromise with the Palestinians as direct talks between Middle East leaders begin in Washington. Israel's defence minister said the Jewish state would be willing to hand over parts of Jerusalem to the Palestinians. The US President Barack Obama is hosting those talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Mr Obama says acts of violence in the meantime will not derail these talks.

Police in the United States have shot dead a man who was holding several hostages in the state of Maryland. The man took at least three hostages inside the headquarters of the Discovery Channel. Police say the man entered the building with a handgun, and was believed to have an explosive device strapped to his chest. All the hostages are now safe.

The sole survivor of a plane crash in Papua New Guinea is being treated in a north Queensland hospital. The New Zealand man was flown to Townsville on a plane chartered by Careflight New South Wales. Four men died when that Trans Air jet crashed at the end of a runway on Misima Island yesterday. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating the cause of the crash.

The New South Wales Premier Kristina Keneally is in damage control this morning after the resignation of a fourth minister in less than a year. The Ports and Waterways Minister Paul McLeay resigned yesterday after accessing pornographic and gambling websites on his work computer. He was caught out by a new internet filter in state parliament and a small number of other parliamentary internet users may require further investigation as well.

And leading the news this morning:

Independent MP Andrew Wilkie has described the Coalition's billion-dollar offer for Hobart hospital as reckless. Mr Wilkie yesterday announced that he'd support Prime Minister Julia Gillard's attempt to form government. And it means Labor is now just two seats away from forming government.

The Prime Minister has come under attack from the clubs industry for not consulting them properly over plans to put betting limits on poker machines. Ms Gillard won Andrew Wilkie's support yesterday on the condition she would implement new gambling prevention measures. Clubs Australia says the loss of revenue and the cost of installing the new system hasn't been researched.

The United States envoy to the Middle East has described direct peace talks between the Israeli and Palestinian leaders as productive. George Mitchell says the meetings with Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas reflect good faith and the seriousness of the purpose. The two have agreed to direct talks every two weeks.

The British Foreign Secretary William Hague has received the full support of his Prime Minister, following speculation about his private life. Mr Hague said he should have realized there might have been speculation about he and the male aide occasionally sharing a hotel room during the election campaign. Mr Hague declared rumors over improper relationships as utterly false.

An explosion has ripped through an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. The rig is on fire and the two-kilometre-long oil sheen has spread from the site. The explosion threw 13 people into the water, but all have been rescued.

Local stocks ended only slightly high today, but they kept their best weekly performance in the year. The All Ordinaries finished up 15 points. The ASX 200 put on just nine points but it put on about four per cent for the week. Fortescue Metal Shares fell today, the miner is being sued by one of its major shareholders over efforts to raise funds. Sigma pharmaceuticals also closed lower after saying it was facing possible class action in relation to capital raising. Shares in Telstra, however, gained ground after its Chinese subsidiary filed for an initial public offering with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Elsewhere in the region, Japan's Nekkei ended the session up just over half a percent. And the Australian Dollar is buying almost 91 US cents.

Well, the Australian service sector was sluggish in August, contracting for the fourth month in a row. A survey of about 200 companies by the Australian Industry Group and the Commonwealth Bank found the fading effects of stimulus measures and Federal election uncertainty impacted on demand.

However, there was a big rise in new vehicle sales during the month. Figures from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industry showed that just over 82,000 vehicles were sold in August. That's up four per cent on same time a year ago.

Residents in northeast and western Victoria are bracing for the worst today as floodwaters continue to rise. Sixty residents in the town of Wangaratta in the state’s northeast have been told to evacuate. In Victoria’s west, residents at Skipton near Ballarat have also been asked to leave their homes. More than 250 houses have already been flooded.

Work resumed this morning to clear fallen trees and damaged roofs in parts of New South Wales that were hit by a severe storm. One hundred thousand houses in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions lost power at the peak of the storm as winds of 100km/h brought down power lines.

The three federal independent MPs hope to decide either today or tomorrow just which party they’ll support to form government. Labor’s agreed to the set of parliamentary reform proposals put forward by Rob Oakeshott. But the Coalition says it’s important that any changes do not disadvantage the Opposition.

First it was the quake; now strong winds are threatening to do more damage to the New Zealand city of Christchurch. Strong aftershocks have continued to shake the shattered city after Saturday’s 7.1-magnitude quake. Police said the 130 km/h winds could bring down unstable bricks and masonry.

And American soldiers have been called in to help Iraqi forces battle insurgents just days after the US formally ended combat operations in the country. The insurgents attacked an army base in Baghdad, killing at least 12 people. An Iraqi officer says US forces exchanged gunfire with the attackers before Iraqi security forces stormed the building.

【生词】
brace   vt.
支住, 撑牢, 使绷紧

shattered   adj   broken into many small pieces

masonry   n.

Leading the news this morning:

After two weeks, Australians should find out today just who'll be getting the keys to the Lodge. The three independents yesterday wrapped up a deal with both major parties on parliamentary reform. And West Australian National's MP Tony Crook has confirmed he'll side with the Coalition. Now, that clears the way for Tony Windsor, Rob Oakeshott and Bob Katter to announce who they'll back to form a minority government.

It's another anxious day for residents in Victoria's flood-affected areas. Up to 200 homes are under threat in Shepparton in the state's northeast. Nearby in Wangaratta, dozens of people have been huddled in an emergency centre. And in western Victoria, floodwaters are expected to peak in Horsham this morning.

Residents of earthquake damaged Christchurch have been warned about the spread of disease. As the clean-up continues, New Zealand's government has approved an initial emergency package. Up to 2/3 of the city's 160,000 homes are now damaged.

In Pakistan, a suicide bomber has killed 19 people, including four children. The attacker rammed a truck laden with explosives into a police station in the country's northwest. The Pakistani Taliban is claiming responsibility for that attack.

And Greenpeace says it will appeal against the conviction of two Japanese anti-whaling protestors charged with stealing a box of whale meat. The pair received a one-year suspended jail sentence. They say they were trying to uncover corruption in the Japanese whaling industry.

Leading the news this morning:

While the uncertainty is finally over, now the hard work begins. Julia Gillard's first task will be sorting out her ministry after scraping back into government. She needs to find a spot for her predecessor Kevin Rudd, and she's also offered independent Rob Oakeshott a ministry. The Prime Minister knows she's just one vote away from losing power.

The new term of government will be marked by focus on regional Australia. Ms Gillard has promised Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor a 10-billion-dollar package for rural Australia. She's also pledging to restructure Parliament and the public service, as well as to meet better needs of regions.

The Liberal Party meets tomorrow for the first time since the election. Both Tony Abbott and Julie Bishop say they will be candidates for the leader and deputy leader positions. Mr Abbott says there will be changes to the line-up, and he believes Malcolm Turnbull will again take on a senior role.

It's been another anxious night for many victims of flood-affected areas of Victoria. Victoria State Emergency Service for these floodwaters have peaked in Shepparton in the state's northeast. Around 400 homes there remain isolated, but so far haven't been inundated.

And five days after the earthquake, large aftershocks are still rocking Christchurch. A state of emergency remains in place as teams of workers continue assessing damaged buildings. New Zealand’s Prime Minister John Key toured welfare centres in the shattered city overnight.

A policeman is in critical condition after being shot during a drug raid in Sydney's southwest overnight. Police were searching a Bankstown flat for drugs when it happened. Dozens of riot police descended on the area and residents were ordered to stay indoors. Police are now questioning eight men.

MPs are gathering in Canberra for the first time since the election. Some in Labor are demanding the party's national secretary Karl Bitar resign, blaming him for the disastrous campaign. The Coalition has labeled the minority government illegitimate.

Queensland state government is facing the same fate as its New South Wales counterpart. The latest Newspoll shows its primary vote has plunged to 29 per cent. Labor's worst performing state New South Wales has a 25 per cent primary vote.

Victoria's flood threat is easing. Floodwaters are slowly receding in Shepparton in Victoria's northeast. But hundreds of homes are still isolated. Emergency workers are keeping an eye on a badly damaged levee holding back the waters at Wangaratta. River levels are likely to remain high with rain forecast for the next couple of days.

BP's own investigation into the Gulf of Mexico oil spill exposes a litany of failures. It found a poor cement job in the well allowed oil and gas to escape. It points the finger not just at BP, but also the rig's owner Transocean and Halliburton which was responsible for the cementing.

Leading the news this morning:

The US President Barack Obama has joined international condemnation of a Florida church's plan to burn copies of the Koran. Mr Obama says the burning would be a “recruitment bonanza for Al Qaeda”. He's appealing to the congregation's pastor to consider the backlash the burning would prompt.

Independent Rob Oakeshott is expected to decide today whether he'll accept a spot in Labor's ministry. The prime minister has offered him a regional development portfolio. His announcement will clear the way for Julia Gillard to finalize her new ministry.

Parts of northern Victoria are on flood watch. A major flood warning has been issued for parts of lower Goulburn River.Residents in Echuca are preparing for waters to peak over the next few days.Further south in Wangaratta, work will start today to strengthen a damaged levee.

Investigations are continuing into the fatal shooting of a policeman in Sydney's southwest. Forensic investigators are at the Bankstown flat trying to piece together exactly what happened. The policeman died in hospital after being shot during a drug raid.

US stocks finished the week with the 7th gain in eight sessions. Improvement in the trade deficit and some better than expected jobs data pushed the Dow up half a per cent. Across the Atalantic, London's FTSE 100 hit a four-month closing high for the second day in a row. Australian stocks finished Friday session down half a per cent, but they were up for the week. And the dollars settled just over 92.5 US cents.


China's trade surplus narrowed to 21.7 billion dollars in August driven by a surprisingly sharp rise in imports. The country's exports were up by more than a third compared to a year ago and that was in line with forecasts. But imports surged 35 per cent which was well above market expectations.


And Virgin Blue has been dealt another blow in its bid to form an alliance with the rival airline. The ACCC's issued a draft ruling, blocking Virgin's plan to offer joint services between Australia and New Zealand with Air New Zealand. The ACCC says the deal would be likely to reduce competition in the market for trans-Tasman flights. That comes a day after US authorities tentatively blocked Virgin Blue's joint venture with Delta Airlines on routes between Ausrtalia and the US.

Leading the news this morning:

Complaints have already started about Julia Gillard's new ministry that hasn't even been sworn in. The prime minister has upset universities by splitting education between at least two ministers. They say putting higher education under Senator Chris Evans' skills portfolio devalues the sector. The Opposition is also questioning Kevin Rudd's ability as foreign minister to negotiate setting up an asylum seekers' processing center in East Timor.

Police say the trans-Tasman crackdown on alcohol-fuelled violence and anti-social behavior has been a success. More than 1,200 people have been arrested during the weekend's blitz. New South Wales led the tally with more than 700 arrests.

Victoria's arson squad has confirmed it's investigating a series of insulation fires at several locations. It's believed they are related to the Federal Government's bungled home insulation program. Police say it's an ongoing investigation and they can't give any more details.

The worst seems to be over in Victoria's flood emergency. While mopping-up continues in most of the flood-affected areas, the focus is now on the Murray River town of Echuca.

And Iran is set to release an American woman jailed more than a year ago. Sarah Shourd was charged with spying after straying across the country's border with two fellow hikers. But she will now be released on half a million dollars bail.

Leading the news this morning:

Labor's new frontbench will be sworn in today. In a last-minute change, Julia Gillard’s reinstated the Indigenous health portfolio. The government had been under fire from Indigenous groups for dumping that portfolio.

The Federal Opposition says Kevin Rudd's planned US trip shows he sees himself as a prime minister in exile. The incoming foreign minister will be representing Australia at the United Nations General Assembly in New York later this week.

Police in Melbourne are continuing to investigate whether a fatal shooting is connected to a criminal gang war. A man in his 30s was shot dead at an industrial estate of Williamstown in the city's west yesterday. Police are now looking into whether the killing is a payback for last month's murder of crime figure in the Macchour Chaouk.

New South Wales police are expected to hand down the inquiry into last week's fatal police shooting in Sydney's southwest today. Constable William Crews died after being shot during a drug raid on a Bankstown flat. Two men have been charged. There has been speculation that Constable Crews may have been accidentally shot by a fellow officer.

And at least 14 people have died in a plane crash in Venezuela. Officials say most of the 51 people on board have survived the crash. The plane came down on vacant land near a steel factory. It's not known what caused the crash. It's the first major crash in Venezuela since 2008.
