The Turkish Army says it has targeted a group of fighters on the Kurdish PKK movement in Iraq inflicting heavy casualties. Turkish and Kurdish television station said the army used artillery and air attacks against the guerrillas. The PKK denied that its fighters had come under fire. The incident came a day after the Turkish government said that it had authorized the army to enter northern Iraq to confront PKK fighters based there. From Istanbul, Sarah Rainsford reports.
The Turkish military says it targeted up to 60 PKK fighters inside northern Iraq and claims to have inflicted what it called significant losses. The operation was announced on Saturday on Turkey's main military websites. But the statement here does not specify what form the operation took. It says only that the PKK group was detected using intelligence and came under intense fire. The Iraqi Kurdish authorities say they have no information about any incursion.
The first of more than a hundred million Russians have begun voting in an election for a new parliament. The first ballots were cast in the Russian Far East and voting will continue until the final voters to go to the polls in Kaliningrad on the Baltic Coast. Richard Galpin reports from Sibiria.
Although the result of this election is widely believed to be a foregone conclusion, the vote is still important. The result would help determine what the Russian President Vladimir Putin will do next. He has to stand down after presidential elections are held in March. He's made it clear he wants to continue in some form of significant leadership role. The high stakes have added to concerns about attempts to manipulate the result in turnout figure. There are many reports of voters and businesses coming under pressure.
The president of Chad Idriss Deby has dismissed his Defense Minister following a week of clashes between government troops and rebels. Mahamat Nour, a former rebel leader, took up the ministerial post in March after signing a peace deal with the government. Stephanie Hancock reports.
As part of Mahamat Nour's price of a ministerial role, he was supposed to organize for his fighters to be disarmed and assimilated back into the Chadian army. But progress has been extremely slow and distrust between the President and his own Defense Minister has been growing almost daily. When large scale fighting broke out last week between another rebel group and the Chadian army, the government was suspicious that the defense minister's former fighters had taken up arms and were battling government soldiers.
A French official says the six major powers have agreed to work on a new UN Security Council resolution against Iran. The five permanent council members along with Germany met in Paris to discuss Iran's nuclear activities. On Friday, the European foreign policy chief Javier Solana held what he called disappointing talks with the Iran's negotiator Saeed Jalili.

The former South African leader Nelson Mandela has addressed a charity concert in Johannesburg to mark World AIDS Day. Mr. Mandela called on people to make a personal commitment to stop the spread of the disease.
Big ambitious plans are needed to deal with the pandemic, but what truly matters are the small acts of kindness that come from a place of real love and compassion.
French police are hunting three suspected members of the Basque separatist group ETA, who shot dead a Spanish policeman and badly wounded his colleague in Southwest France. They were taking part in a surveillance operation with French police. Steve Kingston has the details.
The plain-clothed officers from Spain had been part of a surveillance team in the town of Capbreton, close to Biarritz . They were shot as they returned to their car after leaving a cafe. Visiting the scene with her Spanish counterpart, the French Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said it appeared there had been a chance encounter between the officers and the suspects inside the cafe, and that the policeman had apparently been killed after their cover was blown.
A 77-year-old Italian man has been arrested after shooting dead his wife as she lay in hospital. Police in the Tuscan city of Prato said the man shot his wife who was being treated for Alzheimer's disease, three times in full view of hospital staff. The man told police he did it because he couldn't stand to see her suffering.
The commander of the international peacekeeping force for Darfur, General Martin Luther Agwai, has said only a third of the 26,000 troops pledged will be ready to be deployed next month when the mission is due to begin. General Agwai said he expected a maximum of 9,000 soldiers and policemen to be on the ground in January, including the six and a half thousand African union soldiers that are already deployed.
