| "They can't do it with just 300 inspectors, particularly because of the increase in seafood consumption we see in this country," warns Glickman. A federal jury found al Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui eligible Monday to become executed, deciding that his lies to FBI agents led straight away to at least one death in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001."You'll never get my blood, God curse you all," Moussaoui said afterward. He sat in his chair and prayed silently because verdict was read.Before the jury entered the courtroom around 4 p.m., Moussaoui seemed riled up, plus more animated than usual. He could be heard chanting and yelling from behind an indoor door, CBS' Stephanie Lambidakis reports.The only person to handle charges in this country in the nation's worst terrorist assault, Moussaoui now faces a second phase of his sentencing trial to discover if he actually will be put to death. That phase is to begin Thursday morning.The nine men and three women of the jury will hear testimony on if the 37-year-old Frenchman, who was in jail at the time of the attack, deserves to be executed for his role.It was a total victory for the government. A single "no" vote would have sent Moussaoui to prison forever and could have evaded an extra trial, CBS News correspondent Jim Stewart reports.The testimony will incorporate families of 9/11 victims who will describe the human being impact of the al Qaeda mission that flew four jetliners into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.Using types of the World Trade Center along with the Pentagon, family members are expected to illustrate where themselves were that day, Stewart reports. All of the names of the victims of the attack will be read aloud as well as their pictures shown.Court-appointed defense lawyers, whom Moussaoui has tried to reject, will summon experts to suggest he is schizophrenic after an impoverished childhood when he faced racism in France over his Moroccan ancestry. He may be portrayed as someone who would like to die and gain fame in al Qaeda, in accordance with Stewart."By this verdict, the jury has found that death is a possible sentence in cases like this," court spokesman Edward Adams said. Watch the jury's decision being announced. Stewart reports from your courthouse. On the key question prior to the jurors, they answered yes on whether at least one victim died Sept. 11 as a direct result of Moussaoui's actions. Another was the significance to the government of the information Moussaoui could have provided, says CBS News legal analyst Andrew Cohen."By endorsing the hyperlink between a terror trainee who never contacted the 19 actual 9/11 hijackers ... the panel rejected defense claims that our government was so blind, deaf and dumb before 9/11 that it would not have been able to properly process information from Moussaoui it doesn't matter how dramatic his story has been back then," Cohen said.For the key question before the jurors, they answered yes on whether at least one victim died Sept. 11 like a direct result of Moussaoui's actions. no previous page next 1/2
Ford Motor Co., hurt by falling sales of sport utility vehicles, is anticipated to close plants and cut thousands of jobs in North America included in a restructuring program to become announced Monday.Ford has refused to discharge details of the plan, dubbed the "Way Forward," this is expected to include product changes and cuts to Ford's salaried ranks. Ford has about 87,000 hourly workers and 35,000 salaried workers in North America and CBS News correspondent Tony Guida reports the organization will cut at least 25,000 jobs (video)."It's gonna be painful for some people," Ford Chairman and CEO Bill Ford said earlier this year at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.The assembly plants thought to be most at risk for closure come in St. Louis; St. Paul, Minn.; Atlanta; Wixom, Mich.; St. Thomas, Ontario; and Cuatitlan, Mexico. Those plants could be targeted because of their age, the items they make, their lack of flexibility or any other factors.States were scrambling to offer tax credits and other incentives to hold Ford from closing their facilities.Earlier this month, Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt and other state officials flew to Ford's headquarters in Dearborn to get a meeting with Ford executives. Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm said she outlined a deal of incentives to Ford a week ago. Granholm wouldn't disclose the details from the package and said she wasn't given any assurance that Michigan plants would be spared.Ford is expected to report a worldwide profit for 2005 in the event it releases earnings Monday. Nonetheless it lost more than $1.4 billion in its North American operations in the first nine months of a year ago.The No. 2 U.S. automaker may be hurt by falling sales of their profitable sport utility vehicles, growing medical and materials costs and labor contracts which have limited its ability to close plants and cut jobs. The United states union will have to agree to a number of the changes Ford wants to make."We don't like to see any jobs go away," UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said a week ago. "We're always in hope that down the path we'll be able to reverse one particular decisions."Ford also has seen its U.S. share of the market slide as a result of increasing competition from foreign rivals. The organization suffered its tenth straight year of business losses in the United States in 2005, and for the first time in 19 years, Ford lost its crown as America's best-selling brand to GM's Chevrolet. Ford sold around 2.9 million vehicles for the market share of 17.4 percent in 2005, down from 18.3 % the year before and 24 percent in 1990.The restructuring is Ford's second in four years. Under the first plan, Ford closed five plants and cut 35,000 jobs, but its North American operations failed to turnaround.Ford used just 79 percent of their North American plant capacity in 2005, down from 86 percent in 2004, in accordance with preliminary numbers released the other day by Harbour Consulting Inc., a firm that measures plant productivity. Electrical systems, rival Toyota Motor Corp. was operating at full capacity. In southern Afghanistan, the return to normalcy has opened the way to revelations about the former Taliban leaders that controlled the territory with an iron fist, reports CBS News Correspondent Richard Roth.Missing in Kandahar, a city spinning in enjoyment in the ordinary, is all the leadership which has vanished. This was the Taliban's stronghold, and though it has fallen to a coalition of militias armed towards the teeth, the Taliban's strongmen, it seems, have slipped away.Still, their departure has uncorked the built-up pressure of straightforward pleasures forbidden under the strict rule of supreme leader Mullah Omar, who is reportedly hiding in the mountains 100 miles northwest of Kandahar -- and who, it turns out, kept his own taste for the good life well-hidden.In "the house Osama built," Osama bin Laden's gift to his Taliban host, Omar lived secluded in air-conditioned comfort until American bombs delivered an eviction notice.American and British special operations troops in Kandahar are uncovering some darker secrets, too.A U.N. agency worked in a single Kandahar complex until al-Qaida moved in and turned it into a control center for terrorists. One of the evidence left behind when the Taliban left in a big hurry were a makeshift gym as well as a mass of paperwork: instructions for bomb-makers and computer hackers. Taking care of the remnants of al-Qaida here, and securing a city where it seems every man has a gun and every boy is learning to shoot, falls to Gul Agha. He is Kandahar's former warlord and new governor, dispensing patronage and hospitality, as well as a huge promise. "There'll be security on the streets within two weeks," he states. But in the past 20 years, exactly the Taliban achieved that kind of control. Agha's name means "Mr. Flower," nevertheless the local symbol here is still some grenades.©MMI CBS Worldwide Inc., All Rights Reserved
This story was written by CBS News Producer Alfonso Serrano. As Mexican presidential candidates race neck and neck perfectly into a fast-approaching election day, Mexico's thorny relationship with the United States regarding immigration has emerged as a standout issue and can prove to be decisive in the July 2 vote.Leading candidates — leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador with the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) and Felipe Calderon with the ruling National Action Party (PAN) — have stressed domestic topics in their campaigns. But U.S. President George Bush's decision for you 6,000 National Guard troops to the border and the subsequent boost in anti-Americanism could propel Lopez Obrador to victory. After linking Lopez Obrador to Venezuela's firebrand leader Hugo Chavez, Calderon had surged ahead with a double-digit lead in polls. But Lopez Obrador may have received an unintended gift from the United States when President Bush thought we would secure the U.S.-Mexico border with National Guard troops. Lopez Obrador immediately pounced on Mexican President Vicente Fox for not standing up to the United States. While you're on the campaign trail in Sinaloa, Lopez Obrador accused Fox losing the immigration struggle with the United States because he is too busy promoting Calderon's campaign. He added that Fox is often a "puppet" of the U.S. government.Days later Lopez Obrador surged to the top of national polls. "The border issue could give Lopez Obrador election victory," said Jorge Capetillo, a Latin America expert and professor with the University of Massachusetts. "It has definitely helped him."While the Iraq war along with the alleged mistreatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have recently fueled anti-Americanism worldwide, large sectors of Mexican society have regarded america with hostility for well over a century. Until the late 1980s, when former Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari ruled Mexico, high school history lessons began with stories of the United States "robbing" Mexican territory. Today, history books present loosing former Mexican territory to the United States in a more neutral way. But anti-Americanism remains a fundamental piece of Mexican nationalism. In poll after poll in your neighborhood, Mexico is consistently at the top of report on countries that most disapprove of U.S. policy."There has always been a strong anti-American sentiment in Mexican popular culture," said Pablo Caba?as, a political science professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City. "This sentiment is especially strong among the lower classes." no previous page next 1/2 Britney Spears has revealed what might be Hollywood's worst-kept secret: She's pregnant. Within a posting on her Web site, Spears told fans which she and husband, Kevin Federline, were expecting their first child together. Her publicist, Sonia Muckle, confirmed the singer's pregnancy Tuesday but refused to provide additional details."The time has finally arrived at share our wonderful news that we are expecting our first child together," the singer said. "There are reports which i was in the hospital this weekend, and Kevin and I just want everyone to know that is well. Thank you for your opinions and prayers."The couple were married in September. Magazines and tabloids have speculated for weeks that Spears, 23, was pregnant, documenting her expanding waistline and fuller figure, but she remained mum on the subject.However, she has previously expressed a wish to start a family. In an interview with folks magazine last fall, she said: "I wish to be a young mom. I can see us as a parent."While this will be Spears' first foray into parenthood, Federline, 27, has two kids with his ex-girlfriend, actress Shar Jackson. Spears and Federline met a year ago when he was a backup dancer for my child tour — and Jackson was pregnant making use of their son.Spears wed Federline just eight months after ending a 55-hour Vegas marriage to her childhood friend, Jason Alexander. Her second marriage offers endless fodder for tabloids, that have speculated that the union is within trouble — prompting an angry outburst from Spears to be with her Web site last month.Yet the couple have hardly hid in the limelight — last week, the pair announced they might document their courtship in a new reality series on UPN. The network promised "exclusive, never-before-seen private home videos" of these "personal love story."Spears' impending motherhood could be the ultimate indicator that the former teen princess is perhaps all grown up. Spears was cast as a possible innocent with a bit of sex appeal when she made her debut at 16 with all the multiplatinum " ... Baby, One More Time" and have become a youth icon. As she grew older, her image got sexier, plus more vampish.Her last album would be a greatest hits collection, containing sold nearly 1 million copies. no previous page next 1/2
Last year a group of American Roman Catholic bishops took a fantastic step: recommending that Dr. Martin Luther King be named a martyr with the Christian faith. That unprecedented honor would be an unusual tribute for a Baptist minister, as CBS News Correspondent Richard Schlesinger reported.But when the Vatican released its set of 44 possible new martyrs, the slain civil rights leader's name had not been on it. But the American bishops are continuing their efforts hoping that King will be considered down the road."It places Dr. King able of universal respect and acknowledgment," said Bishop Wilton Gregory, among the Americans who nominated King. "The Catholic Church recognizes the greatness, the courage, the bravery, the tremendous witness of integrity that is certainly found in Dr. King's life." Pope John Paul II had called for a list of people from different countries and other religions that could be honored by the church later that year as what he referred to as new martyrs. In the past, martyrs of the Catholic Church have gone on to become saints. Dr. King would not be eligible for sainthood, but some observers believe calling a non-Catholic political activist a martyr with the church could still be controversial."It's extraordinary," says the Rev. Harvey Egan, a theologian at Boston College. "There are lots of non-Catholics who think that the church has already been involved too much in politics and in non-Catholic things. So there will be controversy, I think, from that side." mulberry belt Congressional investigators learned that one in five nursing homes failed to report incidents and even make sure staffers had no history of abuse. In almost 8% of residents suffered actual harm. And in 256 homes across the country the abuse was serious it put elderly lives in jeopardy or actually resulted in death.
Bookmaking and high-stakes poker have always been a thing of smoky, back-room clubs in Nyc, and for good reason: Most organized gambling is prohibited in the Big Apple.But you wouldn't know it driving through Manhattan.Giant billboards, some several stories high, brazenly advertise Internet bookies like Sportsbook.com. Promotions on the gambling company BetUS.com air regularly on Sirius Satellite Radio. Fantasy football magazines at newsstands are packed with ads for Web casinos.But a growing number of state and federal law enforcement agencies say such ads are illegal."Gaming and bookmaking aren't legal in New York, so anybody that markets to a New Yorker may be in violation of New York state law," said Paul Larrabee, a spokesman for brand new York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.Questions on the legality of the ads come amid a big crackdown on Internet gambling. President Bush signed legislation Oct. 13 prohibiting charge card and electronic fund transfer companies from processing the financial transactions U.S. players often use to online wagers.Offshore Internet gambling companies are already promoting themselves heavily through the entire United States in recent years, contributing to confusion over if the sites, or even the ads themselves, are legal.The Justice Department has become warning since 2003 that publishers and broadcasters who advertise gambling sites could be prosecuted for aiding and abetting a criminal offense.Every state has its own rules regarding gambling, but use of "wire communications" to facilitate wagering on sports has been a federal crime for decades.Actual prosecutions of advertisers for promoting gambling are rare, however, and media companies accepting the ads insist they may be breaking no law.That position sometimes hangs over a loose interpretation of what constitutes a gambling ad.ESPN, for example, runs ads for on-line poker sites during its broadcasts with the Word Series of Poker, but says it lets you do so only for Web pages that don't actually process bets."We only accept advertising for educational, learn-to-play, for-free sites," said ESPN spokeswoman Keri Potts.Several of these so-called "educational" sites, however, are simply companion pages to full-fledged gambling operations, easily reachable with some mouse clicks or by changing recent characters of a Web address from ".net" to ".com." no previous page next 1/2 John 'J.J.' Jackson, who within the 1980s helped usher in the music video era as among the first MTV on-air personalities, has died. He was 62.Jackson, a longtime radio station dj, died of an apparent cardiac arrest Wednesday while driving home from dinner in La, friends and radio industry colleagues said Thursday."I spoke to him like two days ago. J.J. was at a great place," said Mark Goodman, a longtime friend who also worked Jackson as a 'VJ' when MTV launched almost 30 years ago. "It's incredible, so incredibly sad it happened such as this."In a statement, MTV said Jackson's passion for music and good humor helped set a dark tone for the cable music network rolling around in its formative years."He was a big part of the channel's success and we are sure he or she is in the music section of heaven, with many different his friends and heroes," the statement said. "He is going to be greatly missed."Jackson's career in broadcasting began in radio. He first gained prominence while working at WBCN in Boston inside the late 1960s, then moved in 1971 to Los Angeles where he took for the afternoon radio slot at KLOS.Inside the late '70s, he worked like a music reporter for KABC-TV, this was off to New York and MTV, where his musical knowledge, hewn over years in radio, helped ease his transition completely to another format for music, Goodman said."It was a great experience for him. He were only available in already knowing and becoming successful," Goodman said. "We were all thrust in the spotlight and he was able to take the items that happened at MTV with stride."After five years at MTV, Jackson returned to radio in L . a ., including a stint hosting a nationally syndicated display on the Westwood One Radio Network. Lately, he was hosting an afternoon slot at Los Angeles' KTWV."All individuals at The Wave (KTWV) are saddened from the news about J.J.," said Samantha Wiedmann, assistant program director for KTWV. "He was obviously a warm, kind person whose history in the industry speaks for itself."Goodman said Jackson have been divorced for some time. He had a daughter and 2 grandchildren in the Bahamas, Goodman said.
Tiger Woods was outraged Wednesday within an Irish magazine and a tabloid that linked photos of his wife to numerous pornography sites. His agent was checking out the merits of a lawsuit.The publisher, Dubliner Media Limited, issued an apology, saying it turned out a satire and didn't expect you to definitely take it seriously.Woods was some of those who did."My wife, yes, she's got been a model prior, and then she did do some bikini photos," Woods said. "But to link her to porn Sites and such is unacceptable, and I do not accept that at all. Neither does we."The Dubliner magazine wrote in its September issue about Elin Nordegren, his Swedish wife of nearly a couple of years."Most American golfers are married to females who cannot keep their clothes on in public places," the magazine wrote. "Is it a lot of to ask that they leave them at home for the Ryder Cup? Consider the evidence. Tiger Woods' wife are located in a variety of sweaty poses on porn sites."The Irish Daily Star gave it front-page treatment Wednesday using the headline, "Tiger's Fury at Naked Pictures."Inside the tabloid, it reprinted photos of Nordegren inside a bikini, along with a nude photo of the woman purported to be Nordegren. Woods vehemently denied it absolutely was his wife when it first came out three years ago."The publisher and staff in the Dubliner acknowledge that the satirical article was inappropriate and also sincerely apologize to Ernie els, his wife, Elin Nordegren and other Ryder Cup players in addition to their families for any offense that they've taken to it," said the statement.Mark Steinberg, Woods' agent at IMG, said he was debating whether or not to pursue a lawsuit."It's ridiculous," Steinberg said from IMG headquarters in Cleveland. "I can't say much now due to prejudice, because I'm not sure what we'll do later on. Everyone knew it (the nude photo) wasn't her. It's plain as day. You can see it's not factual. It's sort of ironic they bring it up immediately."It was the first topic Woods described at his news conference ultimately causing the Ryder Cup, which starts Friday in the K Club. He wasn't scheduled to speak to reporters until Thursday, but motivated to move the session to Wednesday. no previous page next 1/2 mulberry sales The long-simmering dispute between Palestinian president Yasser Arafat and Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas apparently came to a head Tuesday when Abbas resigned from the key body of the mainstream Fatah movement.CBS News reports the resignation had not been accepted by Fatah.He reportedly also threatened to give up as premier unless he received clear instructions from Fatah on how to proceed with negotiations with Israel.Hakam Balaawi, a Fatah official, said Abbas quit the Fatah Central Committee. Fatah, headed by Yasser Arafat, has been doing turmoil over declaration of a unilateral cease-fire since last month.Arafat also has been critical over the way Abbas has conducted peace talks.Another top Fatah official declared that Abbas' move might be a ploy targeted at forcing recalcitrant Fatah members to consent to the way he is handling contacts with Israel, adding that Abbas was prone to withdraw his resignation.Balaawi said, "I hope that Abu Mazen (Abbas) can change his mind and withdraw his resignation soon." Fatah officials were wanting to mediate a solution.Abbas has been Arafat's deputy in Fatah, the greatest Palestinian movement, for decades.Earlier in the day, militants from the radical Palestinian group Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for a bombing in central Israel that killed a 65-year-old woman, apparently violating last week's cease-fire pledge.But Islamic Jihad leaders in Gaza disassociated themselves from the bombing, and also said they remain devoted to the truce, reports CBS News Correspondent Robert Berger, again showing an internal split over relations with Israel.Islamic Jihad's political leader under western culture Bank, Sheikh Bassam Saadi, said Jenin-based militants probably staged the attack to be able to react to Israel's decision not to release prisoners connected to the group. But he stressed that "Islamic Jihad... is devoted to the (truce) and it remains so today."And Islamic Jihad's top spokesman in Gaza, Nafez Azzam, also distanced the gang from the claim, saying: "We do not know anything about the claim of responsibility ... and still committed to this initiative along with the truce. ... We stand by our word and our commitments."Meanwhile, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel Daniel Kurtzer Monday called Abbas (Abu Mazen) a "relatively weak man" who will "run away from problems." In line with the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Kurtzer was speaking Monday evening to about 150 rabbis and Jewish lay leaders in Jerusalem.Even though the truce has been accepted by most Palestinian groups, some renegade groups within Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction have rejected the cease-fire. Yesterday, one of these groups claimed responsibility for shooting dead a Bulgarian construction worker nearby the West Bank town of Jenin."Abu Mazen, we realize, is a relatively weak man," who will "run away from problems rather than try to solve them," Kurtzer said, adding that this U.S. goal from the Mideast is not to back Abbas but to remove Yasser Arafat and see the establishment of "a serious Palestinian constitution which will outlive its incumbent."
