　　Questions 6 to 10

　　United Nations

　　UN Secretary General Kofi Annan cancelled a two-week trip to Asia, which was scheduled to start on Saturday because of the debate over the UN budget and other urgent political issues, the organization announced on Thursday. Deputy spokeswoman Marie Okabe said the Secretary General had informed the governments of China, the Republic of Korea, Japan, and Vietnam that he was postponing the visit.

　　Vienna, Austria

　　Two US allies in Iraq are withdrawing forces this month, and a half dozen others are debating possible pullouts or reductions, increasing pressure on Washington as calls mount to bring home US troops. Bulgaria and Ukraine will begin withdrawing their combined 1250 troops by mid December. If Australia, Britain, Italy, Japan, Poland, and South Korea reduce or recall their personnel, more than half of the non-American forces in Iraq could be gone by next summer. Japan and South Korea help with reconstruction, but Britain and Australia provide substantial support forces, and Italy and Poland train Iraqi troops and police. Their exodus will deal a blow to American efforts to prepare Iraqis to take over the most dangerous peace-keeping tasks and craft an eventual US exit strategy.

　　Honduras

　　More than 30,000 people in Honduras have been left homeless by tropical storm Gamma, which killed 34 people there earlier this month, and flooded low-lying areas, the government spokesman said on Thursday. Some 90,000 people were affected by the November 18th to 20th storm, which also damaged banana farms. The relevant government departments have deployed 5 teams across the nation to conduct damage assessments in collaboration with local officials.

　　Haiti

　　Armed kidnappers hijacked a school bus carrying 14 children on Thursday, and a US missionary was shot and abducted while driving outside Haiti’s capital, police said. The separate kidnappings came 5 weeks before national elections are to be held to restore democracy and stability in the troubled nation. Police said they did not appear to be politically related. The bus was taking the children to school when several armed men stopped it, boarded it, and drove off down a main road heading west from Porter Prince, the capital. Police Commissioner Francois Henry Douso said. He also said the captors contacted the children’s families and demanded 50,000 US dollars for their release. The children are aged 5 to 17.

　　Vietnam

　　Vietnam on Friday started construction of a 2.4 billion US dollar hydro-power plant, promising to take good care of the nearly 100,000 people in three provinces who will be displaced by the project. “I asked the governments of the three provinces to do a good job in relocating people and resettling them, so that the people will have a better life than in their old homes.” Prime Minister Phan Van Khai said in a nationally televised speech at the long chain earthquake-prone northern Soong Nam Province. Vietnam’s power consumption has increased by some 15% annually in recent years, and the Soong Nam plant will generate nearly one fifth of the country’s power output when completed, said Voo Duk Fin, Deputy General Director of State Utility Electricity of Vietnam Corporation.
