One by one, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and other international delegates are gearing up for day two.

The group is in Geneva for talks at the United Nations headquarters on Iran\'s nuclear program.

The world leaders are pressing Iran for details of its proposal to resolve their decade-old nuclear dispute.

Iran released some of those details in the first day of talks, but both sides say much work remains to be done.

Western diplomats stress they want Tehran to back up its friendly language with concrete actions, such as curbing uranium enrichment.

Only then could Western nations consider reducing economic sanctions against Iran.

Bayan Patroller Catherine Boncales sent this CCTV video clip of the earthquake in Cebu City. The video clips were taken at and around Y & B Angel\'s Enterprise at Barangay Carreta, North Reclamation Area, Cebu City near SM City Cebu.

A 7.2-magnitude earthquake collapsed buildings and roofs and cracked roads Tuesday morning in the central Philippines, killing at least 20 people and injuring 33 others.

Fifteen of the fatalities were in Cebu, the country\'s second most important city, civil defence office spokesman Reynaldo Balido told reporters.

The quake was felt across the central region, and people rushed out of buildings and homes, including hospitals, as aftershocks continued. Offices and schools were closed for a national holiday, which may lower casualties.

The temblor struck about 56 kilometres deep below Carmen town on Bohol Island and did not cause a tsunami in the seas around the archipelago.

At least four were killed on Bohol, said the island\'s Gov. Edgardo Chatto.

 Five others died when part of a fish port collapsed in Cebu city, across the strait from Bohol, officials said. Two more people died and 19 were injured when the roof of a market in Mandaue in Cebu province collapsed. A woman died after being hit on the head when the quake toppled a building.

The quake struck at 08:12 local time (10.12AEST) about 5km east of Balilihan, in the Bohol region of the archipelago, at a depth of 56km, the US Geological Survey reported.

The epicentre was 629km from the capital Manila.

People rushed out of buildings and homes, including hospitals as aftershocks continued.

Amnesty International: Syrian Refugees Detained Illegally In Egypt
Amnesty International: Syrian Refugees Detained Illegally In Egypt
  • Order:
  • Duration: 2:57
  • Updated: 17 Oct 2013
Amnesty International has accused Egypt of unlawfully detaining and deporting hundreds of Syrian refugees, many of them women and children fleeing civil war at home. "Instead of offering vital help and support to refugees from Syria, the Egyptian authorities are arresting and deporting them, flouting human rights standards," Sherif Elsayed Ali, Amnesty's head of refugee and migrants' rights, said in a statement on Thursday. Ali said Egypt was failing "abysmally to meet its international obligations to protect even the most vulnerable refugees." Amnesty said hundreds of refugees who fled Syria, including scores of children, face either deportation or ongoing detention in poor conditions. It said the Egyptian navy had intercepted around 13 boats carrying refugees from Syria in their attempt to reach Europe. Quoting the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, it said 946 people had been arrested by Egypt while attempting the crossing, and that 724 remained in detention. Last week, Amnesty said 12 people drowned when a boat carrying refugees from Syria sank off the coast of Alexandria. On October 3, more than 300 people, including several Syrians, died when their vessel capsized trying to reach the Italian island of Lampedusa. Collective deportations Egyptian authorities say the country has taken in more than 100,000 Syrian refugees, with some trying to leave for Europe aboard overcrowded ships. In a statement, the foreign ministry said the content of Amnesty's report was "inaccurate and does not reflect the reality of [Syrians'] situation in the country... they are treated in a dignified way." "There is no policy of deportation of our Syrian brothers and the vast majority of them live in peace," the ministry said. Egypt has recently required Syrians and other nationals to acquire visas from Egyptian consulates abroad prior to arrival in the country. The media has often accused refugees of backing the Muslim Brotherhood and of being involved in the political violence that erupted in Egypt after the ouster of president Mohamed Morsi. Amnesty said that, in most cases, those arrested were being kept in detention under orders of the national security agency, even after the public prosecution orders their release. It cited the case of a nine-year-old boy from Aleppo arrested on a boat with a family friend and detained and denied access to his mother for four days. Amnesty said that, during a visit to a police station in Alexandria, it found 40 Syrian refugees unlawfully and indefinitely detained there. Among them were 10 children, the youngest being one-year-old twins. Several lawyers said they were prevented from representing refugees detained in police stations along Egypt's Mediterranean coast, the group said. Lawyers also told Amnesty that, in at least two instances, refugees were collectively deported to Damascus.

Day Two of Iran Nuclear Talks Begin in Geneva
Day Two of Iran Nuclear Talks Begin in Geneva

  • Updated: 17 Oct 2013
One by one, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and other international delegates are gearing up for day two. The group is in Geneva for talks at the United Nations headquarters on Iran's nuclear program. The world leaders are pressing Iran for details of its proposal to resolve their decade-old nuclear dispute. Iran released some of those details in the first day of talks, but both sides say much work remains to be done. Western diplomats stress they want Tehran to back up its friendly language with concrete actions, such as curbing uranium enrichment. Only then could Western nations consider reducing economic sanctions against Iran. A U.S. administration official says it would be quote "proportional to what Iran puts on the table."

Bayan Patroller Catherine Boncales sent this CCTV video clip of the earthquake in Cebu City. The video clips were taken at and around Y & B Angel's Enterprise at Barangay Carreta, North Reclamation Area, Cebu City near SM City Cebu. A 7.2-magnitude earthquake collapsed buildings and roofs and cracked roads Tuesday morning in the central Philippines, killing at least 20 people and injuring 33 others. Fifteen of the fatalities were in Cebu, the country's second most important city, civil defence office spokesman Reynaldo Balido told reporters. The quake was felt across the central region, and people rushed out of buildings and homes, including hospitals, as aftershocks continued. Offices and schools were closed for a national holiday, which may lower casualties. The temblor struck about 56 kilometres deep below Carmen town on Bohol Island and did not cause a tsunami in the seas around the archipelago. At least four were killed on Bohol, said the island's Gov. Edgardo Chatto. Five others died when part of a fish port collapsed in Cebu city, across the strait from Bohol, officials said. Two more people died and 19 were injured when the roof of a market in Mandaue in Cebu province collapsed. A woman died after being hit on the head when the quake toppled a building. The quake struck at 08:12 local time (10.12AEST) about 5km east of Balilihan, in the Bohol region of the archipelago, at a depth of 56km, the US Geological Survey reported. The epicentre was 629km from the capital Manila. People rushed out of buildings and homes, including hospitals as aftershocks continued.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Regrouping after a feud with Congress stalled his agenda, President Barack Obama is laying down a three-item to-do list for Congress that seems meager when compared with the bold, progressive agenda he envisioned at the start of his second term. But given the capital's partisanship, the complexities of the issues and the limited...
