MOSCOW (AP) — A half-cen-tury-old tourist boat with 188 peo-ple on board listed and sank quicklyin one of the world’s largest reser-voirs amid wind and rain Sunday,authorities and survivors said, anddozens of children were believed tobe among the 101 people missing.Two bodies were recovered.
About 30 children gathered in acockpit in the double-decker Bul-garia moments before it sank intothe reservoir on the Volga River, a
survivor told the Interfax newsagency. Russia’s Vesti 24 televisionquoted another survivor as sayingthat the boat “tilted to the right andsank within minutes.”
Crew members had time to openonly two lifeboats, and could re-lease only one from the ship, sur-vivors told the Itar Tass newsagency.
By early Monday, only two bod-ies had been recovered from the 20-meter-deep (66-foot-deep) waters of
the giant Kuibyshev reservoir, 3kilometers (2 miles) from shore.
The regional emergency min-istry of Tatarstan said two menmanaged to swim to shore, while apassing riverboat picked up an-other 83 people and the lifelessbody of a woman. The body of an-other woman was found later, au-thorities said without giving details.All aboard were believed to beRussian.

Shuttle Makes Final Hookup With Station CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — As the miles melted between At-
lantis and the International Space Station, the emotions grew — in orbitand on the ground.
At Mission Control on Sunday, lead flight director Kwatsi Alibaruhodeclared “this is it” as he gave the OK for the final docking in spaceshuttle history. Flashbacks to the shuttle’s very first space stationdocking — with Russia’s Mir in 1995 — flooded his mind as viewed theshuttle on the screens. He was a NASA trainee back then.
About 240 miles above the Pacific, the station’s naval bell chimed asalute — one of many landmarks, or rather spacemarks, of this finaltwo-week shuttle mission that are being savored one by one.
“Atlantis arriving,” called out space station astronaut Ronald GaranJr. “Welcome to the International Space Station for the last time.”
“And it’s great to be here,” replied shuttle commander ChristopherFerguson.
Train Derails In India, Killing At Least 31 FATEHPUR, India (AP) — Rescuers searched for survivors in the
wreckage of a packed express train that derailed in northern India onSunday afternoon, killing at least 31 people, while officials said a sec-ond train derailment hundreds of miles (kilometers) to the northeastappeared to have been caused by a remote-controlled bomb.
Rescuers were working to reach the second derailment, which oc-curred late Sunday night in a rural area of Assam state, injuring at least100. The two railway incidents did not appear to be related.
In the first crash, the Kalka Mail train was on its way to Kalka, in thefoothills of the Himalayas, from Howrah, a station near Kolkata in east-ern India, when 12 coaches and the engine jumped the tracks at Mal-wan station, near the town of Fatehpur in Uttar Pradesh state, seniorrailway official A.K. Jain said.
The cause of the derailment was not immediately clear but it ap-peared that the driver applied the emergency brakes, Jain said.
At least 31 people were killed and rescue workers pulled at least 100injured passengers out of the wreckage, said Brij Lal, a state police offi-cial.
Panetta In Iraq To Meet Officials, CommandersBAGHDAD (AP) — From one war front to another Sunday, Pentagon
chief Leon Panetta hopped from a U.S. outpost in Afghanistan’s south-ern desert to Baghdad, where he sought to encourage Iraqi leaders todecide soon whether they want a residual American military force be-yond year’s end.
He refused to say whether the Obama administration wants the ex-tension, but he expressed concern at a spike in U.S. deaths caused bywhat American officials believe are sophisticated explosive devicesmade in Iran.
Panetta prepared for talks Monday with Prime Minister Nouri al-Ma-liki and other senior members of a government politically divided morethan a year after national elections. Iraq has gone that long without de-fense or interior ministers, whose departments are responsible for themilitary and police.
The approximately 46,000 U.S. troops remaining in Iraq are to de-part by the end of 2011 under an agreement negotiated in 2008 by theBush administration, which went to war in 2003 to topple Saddam Hus-sein’s government.
Asking even a few thousand to stay longer carries political risk lead-ers in both countries.
Murdoch Flies To UK To Cope With Scandal LONDON (AP) — Rupert Murdoch touched down in London on Sunday
to take charge of his media empire’s phone-hacking crisis as his best-sellingSunday tabloid, the News of the World, published its last. The scandal liveson despite his sacrifice of the 168-year-old paper at the heart of it.
The scrapping of the News of the World has not tempered British angerover improprieties by journalists working for Murdoch, and his $19 billiondeal to take full control of satellite broadcaster British Sky Broadcasting re-mains in jeopardy.
The 80-year-old News Corp. CEO was seen reading the paper’s last issuein a red Range Rover as he was driven to the east London offices of his U.K.newspaper division, News International. Later, at his London apartment, hemet with News International’s chief executive, Rebekah Brooks, who ledNews of the World when its reporters committed some of the most egre-gious ethical lapses.
The drama gripping media watchers in Britain and beyond has ex-panded at breakneck pace following allegations News of the World journal-ists paid police for information and hacked into the voicemails of youngmurder victims and the grieving families of dead soldiers. Three peoplehave been arrested, including Prime Minister David Cameron’s former com-munications chief.

WASHINGTON — The Obamaadministration’s decision to sus-pend $800 million in aid to thePakistan’s military signals atougher U.S. line with a critical butsometimes unreliable partner inthe fight against terrorism.
President Barack Obama’schief of staff, William Daley, said ina broadcast interview Sunday thatthe estranged relationship be-tween the United States and Pak-istan must be made “to work overtime,” but until it does, “we’ll holdback some of the money that theAmerican taxpayers are commit-ted to give” to the country’s pow-erful military forces.
The suspension of U.S. aid, firstreported by the New York Times,followed a statement last week byAdm. Mike Mullen, chairman ofthe U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, thatPakistan’s security services mayhave sanctioned the killing of Pak-istani journalist Saleem Shahzadwho wrote about infiltration of themilitary by extremists. His bat-tered body was found in June.
The allegation was rejected byPakistan’s powerful military estab-lishment, including the Inter-Ser-vices Intelligence Agency, whichhas historic ties to the Talibanand other militant groups andwhich many Western analysts re-gard as a state-within-a-state.
George Perkovich, an expert onPakistan with the Carnegie Endow-ment for International Peace inWashington, said Mullen’s com-ments and the suspension of aidrepresent “the end of happy talk,”where the U.S. tries to paper overdifferences between the two na-tions.
Daley, interviewed on ABC’s“This Week,” suggested the deci-sion to suspend military aid re-sulted from the increasingestrangement between the U.S. andPakistan. “Obviously there’s still alot of pain that the political systemin Pakistan is feeling by virtue ofthe raid that we did to get Osamabin Laden,” Daley said.
Defense Secretary Leon Panettatold reporters traveling with him to
Afghanistan on Sat-urday that the U.S.would continue topress Pakistan inthe fight against ex-tremists, includingal-Qaida’s newleader, Ayman al-Zawahri.
“We have tocontinue to em-phasize with the
Pakistanis that in the end it’s intheir interest to be able to go afterthese targets as well,” Panettasaid. “And in the discussions I’vehad with them, I have to say that,you know, they’re giving us coop-eration in going after some ofthese targets. We’ve got to con-tinue to push them to do that.That’s key.”
The U.S. has long been un-happy with Pakistan’s evident lackof enthusiasm for carrying thefight against terrorists to its tribalareas, as well as its covert sup-port for the Taliban and anti-In-dian extremist groups.
But tensions ratcheted up inJanuary, when CIA security con-tractor Raymond Davis shot andkilled two Pakistanis who he saidwere trying to rob him. Theyspiked in May, when U.S. forceskilled bin Laden during a covertraid on a home in Abbottabad, thelocation of Pakistan’s militaryacademy.
In the U.S., there was anger atthe possibility that some Pakistanofficials had harbored the terror-ist leader. In Pakistan, there wasoutrage that the U.S. operationhad violated its sovereignty.
The $800 million in suspendedaid represents 40 percent of the $2billion in U.S. military aid to Pak-istan, and according to the Timesincludes money for counterterroroperations.
The report said some of themoney represented equipmentthat can’t be set up for trainingbecause Pakistan won’t give visasto the trainers. About $300 millionwas intended to reimburse Pak-istan for the cost of deploying100,000 troops along the Afghanborder, the newspaper said.
