Top Chinese Communist Party delegates had assembled in Beijing for the start of the Party's 17th Congress. The week-long meeting held every five years is mainly designed to approve broad aims and / the makeup of the Party leadership.

You must have expected to feel nerves from the Communist Party, but bear in mind, one fact, 这里内容敏感,还是回避下,谢谢合作
The Cuban President Fidel Castro has spoken live on television for the first time since falling ill last year. He spoke by telephone to the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez who was broadcasting his weekly program from Havana to mark the 40th anniversary of the death of the revolutionary leader Che Guevara. Shirley Garden reports.
President Castro phoned in to discuss Che Guevara's legacy and the two leaders laughed and joked together for several minutes. Mr. Chavez told the Cuban leader that there was electricity in the air. Fidel Castro appeared to go to great lengths to convince viewers that the broadcast was live saying on air that he could see Hugo Chavez moving his left hand. The program was shown in both Cuba and Venezuela.
The United Nations' Envoy Ibrahim Gambari is in Thailand on the first stop of a tour of the region to discuss the crises in Burma. The military government in Burma has so far been resistant to calls for reform. As part of his trip, Mr Gambari will visit China and India, two of Burma's main trading partners. He's expected to urge them to add their weight to calls for greater democracy in Burma.
Counting is taking place in Togo after parliamentary elections that were for the first time in two decades contested by all of the country's opposition parties.

A Kremlin spokesman says President Vladimir Putin has been warned of a possible plot to kill him when he visits Iran on Tuesday. Mr. Putin is currently in Germany for talks later today with Chancellor Angela Merkel expected to focus, among other things, on Tehran's nuclear program. The spokesman would give no details of the alleged plot, but the head of the State Duma Security Committee Gennady Gudkov said he believed the reports could well be true.
For me, this report has not come as a big revelation, because unfortunately today there are enough radical organizations, forces and movements of extremist nature oriented against Russia which would like to settle a score with the Russian president. There are certainly organizations of this kind in Tehran which in recent times have unfortunately been a stronghold of radical Islamic Organizations.
The Iranian government has described the reports as totally baseless and part of a psychological war being waged on Iran by western intelligence services.
South Africa had beaten Argentina by 37 points to 13 in the 2nd semi-final of the Rugby World Cup in Paris. From there Alex Sanford reports.
They caused an upset in the first game of the tournament by beating the host nation France, but this time, the World Cup dark horses, Argentina, met their match. The favorite South Africa were too strong scoring three first half tries to build a convincing lead. A brief second half revival wasn't enough for Argentina. A lack of discipline cost them dearly later on, and South Africa's victory by 37 points to 13 was thoroughly deserved. Argentina have surprised and delighted many of this World Cup and voluntarily confirmed their status as a major rugby as well as footballing nation, but it's the 1995 world champion South Africa who meets the current title holders England in next week's final.
