South Korea president arrives in Beijing for visit
South Korean President Park Geun-hye is now in Beijing for her first state visit to China since taking office four months ago.
During her four-day tour, Park will hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping as well as the Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and top legislator Zhang Dejiang.
Discussions will focus on bilateral ties and issues of common concern, including the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
Kwon Young-Se is South Korean ambassador to China.
"President Park has advocated a trust-building course for the Korean Peninsula and has proposed a plan for a peaceful cooperation in northeast Asia. In doing so, she mentioned that major countries in northeast Asia should make their due contribution to world peace and prosperity."
Kwon Young-Se says leaders from both sides will also work to exploit more potentialities for the future development of bilateral ties.
"The two countries have achieved impressive development in economic and personnel exchanges. In comparison, some people don't think we have fully achieved such exchanges in security and foreign affairs as expected. So, it is hoped that Park's state visit to China will provide an opportunity to create a desirable blueprint for the future development of the bilateral relations,"
Besides Beijing, Park will also visit Xi'an, capital city of Shaanxi Province in western China.

China dispatches security forces to join UN peacekeeping mission
The Chinese government has decided to dispatch almost 400-peacekeepers to join the UN peacekeeping mission in Mali.
The team includes a security patrol squad.
This is the first time China has sent security forces to join UN peacekeeping missions.
Defense ministry spokesman Yang Yujun says they are not combat troops.
"There are no combat troops in UN peacekeeping missions. UN peacekeepers are aimed at protecting peace, avoiding conflicts and monitoring ceasefire deals. They don't get themselves involved into military conflicts. The Chinese peacekeepers this time will mainly take the security responsibilities of the mission headquarters and campuses."
Currently there are some 16-hundred UN peacekeepers from China on duty around the world.
The country has dispatched some 22-thousand peacekeepers to join UN missions since 1990.

Rudd said he would "identify a date for an election", suggesting that he would not stick with the date set by Gillard.
Now for more on Rudd's swearing in, we are joined on the line by Brian Costar, Professor of Victorian State Parliamentary Democracy.

Egyptian president calls for forming commission to amend constitution
The Egyptian President is calling for the formation of an independent commission to amend the country's constitution.
In a televised address, Mohamed Morsi says he wants to see all political forces and parties involved in the process.
"This committee will be made up of members from all political parties and powers who are all invited to meet with me starting tomorrow, and choose the chairman of this committee, and to decide from previous propositions what their new propositions for the constitution are. I myself will propose the outcome to the parliament in its first session as a suggestion from the president."
Morsi is also calling for the formation of a commission to deal with national reconciliation.
The call comes just days ahead of planned mass-demonstrations against his rule.
Sunday's demonstrations will coincide with the one-year anniversary of him taking office.
Morsi has assigned his interior minister to set up specialized units to deal with any violence stemming from the demonstrations.
In a move to try and placate them, Morsi has ordered all his ministers to appoint deputies under the age of 40.
Presidency spox confirms Zuma cancels foreign trips,
South African President Jacob Zuma has cancelled an overseas trip after visiting former leader Nelson Mandela in the hospital.
The 94-year-old's condition is said to have deteriorated in the past 48-hours.
Mac Maharaj is President Zuma's Spokesman.
"President Zuma was briefed by the doctors who are still doing everything they can to ensure his well being. President Zuma has decided to cancel his trip to Maputo, Mozambique, today, the 27th June, where he is due to attend a SADC summit of regional infrastructure investment conference."
Mandela has been in hospital since June 8th with a recurring lung infection.
Emotional crowds continue to gather outside the hospital, adding messages of support for Mandela.
Brazilians protest near stadium
Police in Brazil have used tear gas to stop protesters from approaching a football stadium.
Brazil was playing Uruguay for the Confederations Cup match at the time.
Some 50-thousand protesters marched to the stadium in Belo Horizonte.
A small number of them tried to push past police lines.
About 20 people were detained.
The crowd repeated the demands they have made since the protest escalated last week, which is more spending on education and health and a crackdown on corruption.
"I think something is going to change. I am certain the politicians are going to think twice before giving themselves a raise, freely, before working just three days a week… So the people have to keep protesting."
They also complained about the high cost of the 2014 World Cup, for which the Confederation Cup is a dress rehearsal.
Wednesday has also seen peaceful protests in Brasilia turn violent when police had used tear gas to clear the area in front of the National Congress building.
President Dilma Rousseff has already introduced a series of measures to answer some of those demands.
However, political analysts say sporadic protests may become a feature of daily life in Brazil for the foreseeable future.

Housing prices and real estate market
Anchor:
It's being reported it's becoming more difficult for homebuyers here in China to apply for public housing mortgages.
The process for bank approvals is now said to be open-ended.
Previously it used to take one to two weeks to secure a mortgage.
Right now only four commercial banks in Beijing are still offering discounts on benchmark mortgage rates for first-time home buyers.
Analysts are suggesting small and medium-sized property developers might be getting ready to cut their housing prices later this year because of a shortage of working capital.
For more on this situation, Paul James spoke with our Financial Commentator Cao Can.

China vows policy continuity to steady market expectations
State Council has announced it is to maintain its current economic policies.
The statement is meant to try to stabilize market expectations.
The cabinet says China's economic condition has been generally stable this year.

European finance ministers strike deal in Brussels
European finance ministers have struck a deal in Brussels in a new attempt to share out the cost of future bank failures saving taxpayers from footing the bill.
Jeroen Dijsselbloem is the Dutch Finance Minister:
"That's a major shift from the public means from the taxpayer, if you will, back to the financial sector itself, which will now become for a very large extent, responsible for dealing with its own problems."
After the 2008-2009 financial crisis, Ireland, Britain and Germany had to pump billions into ailing banks to avoid the collapse of the financial system.
But ordinary taxpayers were left with the bill.
The new rules force bank creditors and shareholders to be the first to take the losses.
France and Germany were split over how much leeway governments should have on how shareholders with more than 100-thousand euros in any given bank should share the burden of the institution's collapse.
The French side argued the new EU rules should allow countries more freedom in deciding how banks' creditors are dealt with while Germany pushed for stricter rules.
UK double-dip recession revised away
The latest data shows the UK economy did not suffer a double-dip recession at the beginning of 2012.
The Office for National Statistics or ONS announced the update following a major annual revision of Britain's economic data.
According to the ONS, the growth was flat in the first quarter of 2012, which has been revised from an earlier estimate of a 0.1 percent contraction.
That means the country did not suffer the two consecutive quarters on contraction, which commonly define a recession.
Meanwhile, the Office added growth in the first quarter of 2013 was unrevised at 0.3 percent compared with the previous quarter.
China Construction Bank opens Taipei branch
China Construction Bank, CCB, one of the mainlands largest commercial banks, has officially opened its Taipei branch.

A new study shows Shanghai children have the highest incidence of childhood asthma among 10 major cities in China - a level almost 56-percent higher than the average of those other cities.
Though several of those cities regularly register worse overall air pollution than Shanghai, officials say outdoor pollution is not the only factor contributing to childhood asthma and other allergy-related illnesses.
Children living in areas with high humidity, where it's hot in summer and cold in winter, have a higher incidence of asthma.

Special Reports
Agricultural insurance
Anchor
According to a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in December 2011, China became the second-largest agricultural insurance market in the world after the United States.
This has helped farmers recover from unexpected losses.
But the system is still far from complete.
Zhang Wan has the story.
Reporter: Recently, many places in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region have frequently been experiencing extreme weather conditions such as hailstorms, heavy winds and floods, which have led to big losses in crop production.
Many local cotton growers in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region complain that recent hailstorm has brought them big losses, and it's too late to replant crops in their fields now as it is already late June. Here is Yuan Jinjiang, a local farmer.
"I can do nothing to recover the losses this year, all that I can do is to start all over again next year."
Yuan says thanks to government-subsidized agricultural insurance, local farmers like himself can receive several hundreds or several thousand yuan in insurance claims.
Maimaitijiang Aishan, a local farmer says, with subsidies by the government, local farmers only paid 30 yuan per mu of field for the insurance.
"Without buying the insurance, there would be no insurance claims to cover our losses, and we would get not a penny in revenue this year."
However, there are also some farmers arguing the insurance claim is far from enough compared to their losses. For example, the average cost of one mu of field is about 1000 yuan, but farmers only receive 600 yuan of claim for each mu of field.
Liu Yonghu, head of a county in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region explains more about the government-subsidized agricultural insurance.
"The current implemented government-subsidized agricultural insurance is the kind of low cost and low claim insurance, which provides wide coverage. Or let's say, this insurance may only insure the materialized cost of planted cotton."
As for the government-subsidized insurance, most premiums are paid by the central government and the local government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, but meanwhile, local county government is also expected to pay 15 to 20 percent of the premium.
Aimaierjiang Awuti, head of a local county, says that 20 percent of the premium means 20 million yuan has to be invested into the insurance, it has caused them great pressure.
The Chinese government now shoulders 80 percent of agricultural insurance premiums. In Heilongjiang, every yuan paid by a farmer is subsidized by 0.75 yuan from the county government, 1.25 yuan from the provincial government and 2 yuan from the central government.
According to the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, from 2007 to 2011, China's central government budget spent 26.4 billion yuan on agricultural insurance subsidies. And the country has pledged to continue to support agricultural insurance with favorable financing and taxation policies.

Federer, Sharapova Suffers Shock Defeat; Bunch of Players Withdraw
Anchor:
Wednesday has been one of the most dramatic days in recent Wimbledon history, with a slew of top players now out of the tournament.
CRI's London correspondent Tu Yun has the details.
Reporter:
Just when you thought defending men's champ Roger Federer would enjoy a wide-open draw after Rafael Nadal's early exit, the seven-time Wimbledon champion has been handed a "Waterloo" defeat in the second round for the first time in almost ten years.
116th ranked Sergiy Stakhovsky outperformed the defending champion 6-7, 7-6, 7-5, 7-6.
The 27-year-old stunned center court in only his second-ever meeting with the Swiss powerhouse.
"When you play Roger Federer in Wimbledon, it's like playing two persons. First you play Roger Federer. And then you play his ego, and on the Center Court of Wimbledon, where he's historical I would say, that's like playing two against one."
Despite the historical early exit, the 17-time grand slam champion seemed quite calm in the press conference room.
"He was uncomfortable to play against. I think he served and volleyed really well. It was difficult to get into that much rhythm clearly against a player like that. It's a great number. I can be proud of it. But moving on from here."
On the women's side, another equally stunning upset, with 3rd seed Maria Sharapova being handed an early-exit from the All-England club.
131st ranked Michelle Larcher de Brito of Portugal did need five match points, but eventually dumped Sharapova 6-3, 6-4.
"From what I felt, there was like dead grass on the top, and that made it quite slippery. But I just tried to be more careful."
The slippery courts have also taken their toll on the competition.
So far seven players have been forced to withdraw because injury.
They include 6th-seeded male Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, women's 2nd seed Victoria Azarenka and Belgium's Steve Darcis, who shocked Rafael Nadal in the first round.
For CRI, I'm Tu Yun at Wimbledon.

Itlay takes on Spain for the other final berth at Confederations Cup
In football,
Italy is now only hours away from taking on Spain in the Confederations Cup semi-final game.
The game will be Italy's first meeting with the Spaniards since being routed by them 4-0 in the Euro 2012 final.
The odds look heavily in Spain's favour again.
Unbeaten in their last 25 matches, Spain has only lost to Italy once in eight meetings since the 1994 World Cup finals.
Gianluigi Buffon is a veteran goalkeeper:
"For us, surely, the next goal is to prove that the distance between us and them is not as large as seen in that final (Euro), but for sure the fact is that they are a benchmark for all teams and it is a very good team."
The winner of this game will go on to face Brazil, who earlier beat Uruguay 2-1 in the other semi-final.
The final will take place on Sunday in Rio de Janeiro's iconic Maracana stadium.
Annual NBA Draft gets under way in Brooklyn
This year's NBA Draft will take place later on at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Noel ended his lone collegiate season in February, tearing the ACL in his left knee.
But many pundits have him going first overall to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The 6-foot-11 freshman led the nation in shot blocking and his conference in rebounding.
Other well sought-after prospects include Victor Oladipo, National Co-Defensive Player of the Year and Kansas Jayhawks shooting guard, Ben Mclemore.
