It is estimated that 35,000 people will live and work in the area. The ratio between tenancy and tenant ownership is 45:55. With the expansion of Hammarby Sjstad, development of the area's municipal and commercial services is also taking place. Investment in public transport increased. Many different parties have been involved in making it possible for the district to be financed. When the entire construction project is finished the cost will total 5.6 billion US dollars. Stockholm has taken the initiative for the establishment of Hammarby Sjstad together with around 25 different construction companies. The construction companies' investment represents just over 80 percent of the costs of the whole project. The net investment from Stockholm city is 250 million dollars. Other funding comes from the government agencies such as the Swedish Rail Administration (rail transport) and the Swedish Road Administration (routing of the Southern Link road). &$&$Environmental ambition for Hammarby Sjstad&$&$ Stockholm set stringent environmental requirements for buildings, technical installations and the traffic environment right from the beginning. The aim of the environmental programme is to halve the total environmental impact in comparison with an area built in the early 1990s. When Hammarby Sjstad was built, nature was preserved as far as possible, and new green spaces were created. The land was decontaminated and old industrial land was transformed into attractive residential areas with fine parks and open spaces. As transport has a heavy environmental impact, a major public transport initiative was taken in the area with the cross-rail service Tvrbanan, bus services and a ferry service on the lake Hammarby Sj between the southern and northern ends of the new district. The ferry is operated by the City of Stockholm and is free.

Klaus, who has been skeptical of the treaty, which is designed to change the workings of the European Union, said he respects the ruling of the Constitutional Court. Before Klaus signed the pact, it had been approved by all other26 EU member nations.

Citizens of New York City went to polls on Tuesday for the general election of the city. Mayor Michael Bloomberg is seeking for his third term. (Xinhua/Shen Hong)&$&$ Tuesday is also marked in some major cities that are electing mayors, including New York, Boston, Atlanta and Houston. Although Obama's name is not on the ballots, the elections are portrayed by Republicans as "referendums" on his presidency and Democratic administration, which have been featured by economic stimulus measures, health care reform and withdrawal from the Iraq war. 　　KEY BATTLEFIELDS On Nov. 4, 2008, Obama made history not only as the first African-American president but also the first Democrat to win a presidential race in Virginia since the 1960s. However, Democrats are less likely to keep the state blue on Tuesday, as earlier polls showed Republican candidate for governor Bob McDonnell had a double-digit lead over his Democratic rival Creigh Deeds. Even the support from Obama and incumbent governor Tim Kaine, who is the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, seems making no help to their party fellow. In the race for the state's lieutenant governor, Republican Bill Bolling also led Democrat Jody Wagner by about 15 points. While Democrats tried to downplay their bleak prospects in Virginia gubernatorial elections, it was still considered by analysts a sign of Republicans' comeback. "The Republicans could show they are competitive in Virginia, and also send a national message that they are able to come back in the Obama era," said Mark Rozell, a political science professor at George Mason University. The other gubernatorial race in New Jersey is caught in a tie between the current Democratic governor, Jon Corzine, and his Republican challenger Chris Christie. The climate does not favor Corzine, the only governor who seeks reelection in 2009, since his political life is mostly judged by his performance in the latest economic crisis and the wave of job loss. A drama got the New York 23rd congressional district election more national spotlights than it should have. Dede Scozzafava, the candidate picked by local Republican leaders for she being able to reach out to independent and even Democratic voters, was forced to withdraw her nomination after the party's conservative wing insisted supporting another candidate torun for the office. It has signaled the Republican Party that it may have a hard time to mend splits in the party before challenging Democrats in the midterm elections next year.

"The U.S. approach toward Iran has been in contradiction with the slogan of bringing change to its policy," Khamenei was quoted as saying. "On the one hand, Americans talk of negotiations, and on the other hand, they continue to threaten," Khamenei told a group of students on Tuesday. Referring to the nuclear talks between Iran and the world major powers, he said the Iranian nation will not bow to any conditions which would undermine its rights. "If anyone intends to violate the rights of the Iranian nation, the nation will firmly stand up to them and will make them kneel down," he added. Khamenei said as long as the United States wanted "to turn backt he time and seek dominance over Iran," it could by no means compel the Iranian nation to retreat, the report said. He made the remarks on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the seizure of the U.S. embassy in 1979. Iranian government has organized an anti-U.S. rally on Wednesday before the ex-U.S. embassy in Tehran to mark the anniversary of the embassy seizure.

Iran's envoy to the international nuclear watchdog said Monday Iran is ready to take part in the next round of talks with world powers over the fuel provision for a Tehran research reactor, the official IRNA news agency reported. Also, Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Monday that Iran would consider the enrichment of high-grade uranium in its own country if the talks with six world powers fail. Under a UN-brokered nuclear fuel deal, Iran should ship out most of its existing low-grade enriched uranium to Russia for further enrichment and then to France where it would be processed into fuel rods with a purity of 20 percent. The head of the UN nuclear agency Mohamed El Baradei on Monday urged Iran to give a quick response to the fuel deal proposal. Iran has sent an oral indication to the IAEA asking for amendment of the draft agreement. The details of the amendment have not been made public yet. &$&$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802508 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90853/6802508.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:37:05 +0800 &$Chairman of the Czech Constitutional Court Pavel Rychetsky reads a verdict during the closely followed session in the city of Brno November 3, 2009.

Sarkozy looks a lot younger than 12 in the picture. The publicity shots in 1967 showed the young Sarkozy in a blue T-Shirt and blonde hair which is said to have been tinted for the ad. He held a model plane and was telling a story about flying to China. The extraordinary news means that both Sarkozy and the First Lady Bruni were former models who now inhabit the Elysee Palace. The photo of Sarkozy was ignored for more than 40 years until recently when former employees of Bonux confirmed it was indeed an image of the president. It is said that the job was given to the president by his father Pal Sarkozy who was an advertising copywriter with the Bonux brand at the time. &$&$By People's Daily Online/Agencies&$&$ ]]> 6802477 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802477.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:05:11 +0800 &$Source:Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802476 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90855/6802476.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:04:39 +0800 &$Flamingoes fly in Amboseli National Park near Mount Kilimanjaro, with an elevation of 5,895 meters (19,340 ft), March 22, 2007.(Xinhua/Reuters Photo)&$&$ "Of the ice cover present in 1912," Thompson and his colleagues write in the paper, "85 percent has disappeared and 26 percent of that present in 2000 is now gone." However, researchers studying the mountaintop, including those involved in this study, differ in their conclusions on how much of the melting could result from human activity or other climatological influences. Some studies have suggested the ice loss is due primarily to what some see as local factors: less snowfall and more sublimation -- a process that turns ice directly into water vapor at below freezing temperatures. The new study appears to strengthen the argument that global warming is to blame in addition to sublimation. "This is a very thorough documentation of the changes in the Kilimanjaro glaciers," says Kevin Trenberth, head of the climate analysis section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., who was not part of the study. Trenberth says he has no doubt "that the glaciers are retreating and have continued to retreat." The "snows of Kilimanjaro" were made famous in the Ernest Hemingway short story of that name in 1938, in which the main character notices "as wide as all the world, great, high and unbelievably white in the sun, was the square top of Kilimanjaro." &$&$Source:Xinhua/Agencies&$&$ ]]> 6802473 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90853/6802473.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:03:01 +0800 &$Source:Xinhua/Agencies&$&$ ]]> 6802471 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802471.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:02:10 +0800 &$Source:Xinhua/Agencies&$&$ ]]> 6802469 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802469.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:02:10 +0800 &$Source:Xinhua/Agencies&$&$ ]]> 6802465 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90851/6802465.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:00:03 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802464 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90851/6802464.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:59:38 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802381 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90782/6802381.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:30:38 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802373 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90782/6802373.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:27:55 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802371 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90782/6802371.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:27:08 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802368 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90782/6802368.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:25:39 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802364 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90782/6802364.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:23:26 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802360 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90782/6802360.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:22:30 +0800 &$Source: Xinhuanet/Agencies&$&$ ]]> 6802353 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90853/6802353.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:18:35 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802349 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90782/6802349.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:21:13 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802287 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90855/6802287.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:47:26 +0800 6802235 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90851/6802235.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:26:18 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ...]]> &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802234 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90851/6802234.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:25:38 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ...]]> &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802233 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90851/6802233.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:25:18 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ...]]> &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802232 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90851/6802232.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:24:58 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802231 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90851/6802231.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:24:36 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802221 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802221.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:24:04 +0800 6802220 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802220.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:23:57 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802218 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802218.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:23:50 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802217 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802217.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:23:43 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802214 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802214.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:23:36 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802213 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802213.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:16:45 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802212 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802212.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:16:26 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802211 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802211.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:16:04 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802208 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802208.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:14:37 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802207 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802207.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:14:13 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802200 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6802200.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:08:55 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802197 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90856/6802197.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:08:24 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802195 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90851/6802195.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:07:48 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802194 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90851/6802194.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:07:54 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6802079 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90853/6802079.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:46 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801917 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90855/6801917.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:46 +0800 &$World and Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt feeds a cheetah cub with a bottle at the headquarters of the Kenyan Wildlife Service in Nairobi, capital of Kenya, on Nov. 2, 2009.

(Xinhua Photo)&$&$ "The cheetah has now become my good friend. Initially I was scared of them but I have now overcome the fear," the Jamaican sprinter said in Nairobi. The Kenyan government promptly awarded him a Certificate of Adoption at the function attended by Kenya's Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Kenya has about 800 cheetahs that the government has marked as endangered species. Bolt has spent four eventful days in Kenya where he has been on charity tour of conservation matters through Zeitz Foundation -- the brainchild of Jochem Zeitz who is CEO of the sportswear that sponsors him Puma. Earlier, Bolt was hosted by President Mwai Kibaki and Premier Odinga. On both occasions he showed the "Lightning Bolt" when he was asked to display his trademark pose. The Jamaican sprinter has attained iconic status in Kenya that has surpassed that of local athletes. There is no doubt that his visit to the country will reverberate among his fans for a long time to come. Most Kenyans will henceforth follow his progress in the sprints that he promised to dominate for the next ten years. &$&$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801907

(Xinhua Photo)&$&$ The U.S. envoy made the remarks at a meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan, where he renewed his country's commitment to attaining lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East, the Jordan News Agency Petra reported. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reiterated on Monday her country's commitment to the two-state solution before attending a meeting with Morocco's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Taieb Fassi Fihri, on the sidelines of the6th meeting of the Forum for the Future. At the meeting with Mitchell, the Jordanian King called for freezing all "unilateral Israeli measures that threaten opportunities to attain peace, especially the creation of settlements and measures that threaten the identity of Jerusalem and the holy sites in the city." The King emphasized the need to invest the opportunity at hand to launch "serious and effective" Palestinian-Israeli peace talks that address all final status issues between the two sides, including borders, the issue of Palestinian refugees and Jerusalem. Abdullah II said future peace negotiations should be in accordance with a specific timeframe to realize the two-state solution. The King urged the United States to continue to play a leading role in creating the "suitable environment" for launching peace talks that can realize the ultimate objective of the two-state solution, which envisages the creation of a viable, independent and geographically connected Palestinian state that lives side by side with Israel in peace and security. The King held a separate meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Monday, where he reiterated Jordan's support to the Palestinians' rights, especially their right to statehood, calling on the international community to intensify efforts to create the appropriate atmosphere for peace talks to succeed. The Jordanian leader and Abbas underlined the need for Israel to halt creation of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories and all unilateral measures that undermine peace efforts. Abbas and Mitchell also held a meeting in Amman. The two sides discussed peacemaking efforts. Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said Mitchell reiterated the U.S. position of rejecting the continuation of Israeli settlement activities and that the United States will not go back on this position. Since U.S. President Barack Obama took office, the United States has repeatedly called on Israel to halt settlement activities, a matter that the Palestinians set as a condition for the resumption of peace talks, which came to a halt since the election of the right-wing Israeli government earlier this year. &$&$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801573 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90854/6801573.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:51 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801570 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90854/6801570.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:51 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801563 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90855/6801563.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:51 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801560 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90855/6801560.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:51 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801554 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90856/6801554.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:52 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801545 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6801545.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:52 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801540 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6801540.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:52 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801537 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6801537.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:52 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801532 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90851/6801532.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:52 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801525 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90853/6801525.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:52 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801519 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90853/6801519.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:52 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801516 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6801516.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:52 +0800 &$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]> 6801508 http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90852/6801508.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:53 +0800 &$Afghan President Hamid Karzai waves as he waits to meet U.N.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in Kabul November 2, 2009. Ban made a surprise visit to Afghanistan on Monday as pressure grew to abandon plans for a risky run-off vote after the withdrawal of Karzai's only rival. (Xinhua/Reuters Photo)&$&$ President Barack Obama said Monday that the United States is looking forward to a closer cooperation with Afghan government led by President Hamid Karzai, but urging Kabul to improve governance and fight against corruption. Obama, after meeting with Sweden's Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt in the White House, told reporters that he has phone called Karzai for congratulating the Afghan leader for winning the presidential election. According to Obama, he also asked Karzai to make "a much more serious effort to eradicate corruption," and to realize that it is the time for the United States and Afghanistan to "write a new chapter based on improved governance." Reports here said the United States has been dissatisfied with Karzai, who ruled Afghanistan since the Taliban was overturned in 2001, for his failure to secure the country from Taliban attacks, governmental corruption, drug-trafficking and his close ties with warlords. After top challenger Abdullah Abdullah withdrew from the presidential run-off election set on November 7, the Afghan Independent Election Commission on Monday announced the run-off election has been canceled with Karzai winning the election. Accused Karzai of failing to meet his demands for a fair and transparent vote, Abdullah said Sunday that he decided to quit the election. The first-round election was held on August 20, with preliminary results by Afghan election authority showing Karzai won 54.6 percent. However, an UN-backed investigation panel accused the election of widespread fraud and pushed Karzai's total to below the 50 percent, which is needed to avoid a runoff. "Although the process was messy, I'm pleased to say that the final outcome was determined in accordance with Afghan law," said Obama, adding that the United States would continue to partner with Karzai and his government in "achieving prosperity and security in Afghanistan." "We are looking forward to consulting closely with his government in the weeks and months to come to assure that the Afghan people are actually seeing progress on the ground," said the president. Earlier on Monday, Obama's spokesman Robert Gibbs said Washington recognized Karzai as the legitimate leader of Afghanistan and would continue conversation with Kabul over "governance, civil society, and corruption" in order to ensure that "we have a credible partner in our efforts to help secure the country." The Obama administration, who vowed to disrupt, dismantle and defeat al-Qaeda and its extremist allies, has been reviewing an overall strategy of the war in Afghanistan, and considering whether to send additional troops to the war-torn country. General Stanley McChrystal, top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, warned that the United States would lose the war against al-Qaeda and Taliban without rapidly sending up to 40,000 additional troops to Afghanistan.
