Death toll soars to 5,489 in Nepal earthquake
The death toll from Nepal's earthquake has climbed to 5,489 with a total of 11000 others being injured.
135,000 houses have been destroyed and a further 93,000 damaged.
Official data shows that Sindhupalchowk is the worst-hit district with some 1600 people having died when the powerful quake hit Nepal on Saturday.
China is trying to evacuate around 6,000 people from a border town in Tibet.
Zham Town in Nyalam County has been at high risk of landslides11 following the strong quake in neighboring Nepal.
The displaced will be accommodated at a resettlement site some 300 kilometers away from their homes.
"Families with private cars are leaving in succession and we are trying to dispatch vehicles from police stations in the county to transfer those without private cars, but the vehicles have not arrived yet. We have arranged police officers to escort the people to safety on foot."
The rest of the displaced will arrive later today.
Around 1,000 tents have been set up with water and power supplies already in operation at the resettlement camp.
Access to Zham Town was cut off until Tuesday after rescuers reopened the No. 318 road that was blocked by landslides triggered by Saturday's quake and its aftershocks.
The quake has left nine people dead in the hillside town, which lies at a busy land crossing between Tibet and Nepal in the southern part of the Himalayas.
The death toll from the quake in Tibet now stands at 25, with 4 still missing and nearly 800 injured.
Abe's speech triggered strong opposition14
Anchor:
Despite pressure from various groups in the US, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has delivered a speech to the US Congress which many observers say fell short of their demands for the Japanese leader to acknowledge Japanese wrong-doing during World War II.
CRI's chief Washington correspondent Xiao Hong has the story.
Ann:
During his address to the joint15 session of the U.S. Congress, visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says he will uphold the views of previous leaders on his country's World War II history.
However, many have been left disappointed by his statement, saying it has steered-clear of the thorny16 issues.
Congressman17 Mike Honda says Abe had an opportunity to make history by acknowledging and expressing remorse18 over Japan's wartime atrocities.
"This is utterly19 shameful20 and shocking that Prime Minister Abe continues to evade21 his government's responsibility of systematic22 atrocity23 that was perpetrated by the Japanese imperial army against the so-called comfort women."
Estimates are some 200-thousand women across Asia were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese army during World War II.
Today, only around one-hundred of the so-called "comfort women" survive.
One of them, an 87-year-old woman from South Korea, sat in the Gallery during Abe's speech, waiting for an apology from the Japanese Prime Minister.
At the same time, a 95-year-old U.S. veteran who endured the Bataan Death March in the Philippines at the hands of the Japanese military, was also left without the apology he had been hoping for.
Jan Thompson, President of the American Defenders24 of Bataan and Corregidor Memorial Society, says if only one line or one sentence was mentioned in Abe's lengthy25 speech, it would have brought some comfort to the old man and his family.
"The Prime Minister says history is harsh. We agree with the Prime Minister that history is harsh. But we offer the caution that history is ultimately harsher on those that deny it."
Grace Han Wolf, the first Korean-American woman elected to the town council in northern Virginia, says the Prime Minister is trying to portrait Japan as a world leader of the future.
However, she says his speech is just a re-packaging of the same old thing.
"A country that wishes to take the stage as a leader of the future, but will not acknowledge and recognize and earn up to its past. And I think going to be impossible for Japan to really be perceived as a world leader until they do take an active and direct role for recognizing their past."
The speech by Abe before the US Congress comes just weeks ahead of his much more widely-anticipated speech to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.

Abe's Speech Sparks Anger among Neighbors
Chinese Foreign Ministry26 Spokesperson Hong Lei has reiterated28 that Japan should deal with historical issues with a sense of responsibility.
Hong Lei made the remarks on Thursday at a regular press conference in response to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's speech to the US Congress.
"The Chinese side has always urged the Japanese government and Japanese leaders to deal with historical issues with a sense of responsibility and to stay true to its statements and commitments about reflecting upon its history of aggression30. Only by doing this can Japan convince the international community and build friendly relationships with its Asian neighbors."
South Korea has also expressed strong regret over Abe's speech to US lawmakers.
Foreign Ministry spokesman, Noh Kwang-il, said the speech lacked a sincere apology.
The spokesman noted32 that the speech was a missed opportunity for Japan to apologise for past wrongdoings.
"As Japan has made clear during the speech at the US Congress, it is important to gain trust and build harmonious33 relationships with the international community by admitting the past and reflecting on their previous wrongdoing, in order to contribute to world peace. However, Japan's conduct is inconsistent in that it is moving in the opposite direction."
North Korea also criticised Abe for failing to apologise for Japan's wartime sex slavery and urged him to stop covering up Japan's "past wrongdoings".
It's the first time a Japanese leader has addressed a joint meeting of the US Congress.
In his speech, Abe offered condolences for Americans killed during World War II, but stopped short of apologising for wartime atrocities.
He also suggested that he would not use the phrases "heartfelt apology", or "colonial rule and aggression" in his forthcoming statement in August to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two.

Protests against Police Violence Held in Cities
Several US cities, including Baltimore, New York and Denver, have seen protests against police violence and racial profiling.
Two days after the worst riot in decades, a demonstration34 ended peacefully on Wednesday in Baltimore, where an African American man died in police custody35, causing civil unrest.
Baltimore police commissioner36 Anthony Batts says he is satisfied with the peaceful protests.
"I was very pleased with what took place in the city last night. For the most part, I think the curfew worked extremely well. Like I said, much like the mayor had predicted, we got people off the street. There wasn't a whole lot moving. I think the same thing is going to happen now."
However, 16 more adults and two juveniles37 have since been arrested, which brings the total number of arrests since Monday to more than 250.
In New York City, police have arrested more than 60 people.
Over a thousand protesters have gathered there to voice anger against police violence.
Faith Laugier is one of those protesters.
"The police are not there to protect the people. They are there to protect and worry about property. Windows can be replaced, this guy's spine38, his life can't be. He is gone."
25-year-old black resident Freddie Gray died on April 19 after suffering spinal39 injuries while in police custody.
His death triggered riots in Baltimore- nineteen buildings and dozens of cars were burned on Monday. Local government authorities had to enforce a curfew in the city and stationed 3,000 National Guard troops and police there.
Police are due to give their findings on Gray's death to prosecutors40 on Friday. But no information will be made public since prosecutors still have to decide whether to bring charges.
The US Department of Justice is conducting a separate probe into possible civil rights violations42 in Gray's death.
The former Chief Executive of Hong Kong Special Administrative44 Region Tung Chee-hwa has urged legislators to vote for Hong Kong's universal suffrage package tabled last week at the Legislative45 Council.
The package signifies a major constitutional development for the Hong Kong SAR.
It has been designed for the selection of the next chief executive through "one man, one vote" universal suffrage in 2017.
Tung says the region should stick to its own principles for the development of its democracy.
"The return of Hong Kong to China in 1997 was inevitable46 whereas the realization47 of "one man, one vote" is a major opportunity and choice the time has bestowed48 upon us. Every country and every region has its own principle for the development of democracy, and the truth is, the constitutional reform proposal endorsed49 by the Standing50 Committee of the National People 's Congress is constitutional, lawful51, sensible and justifiable52."
Tung stresses that the proposal is not the ending of Hong Kong's constitutional reforms, but instead the beginning of the adaptation of the "one man, one vote" or 'one person one vote' concept, and tampering53 with the process will eventually push Hong Kong into a no-win situation.
"Passing the reform proposal marks not only a major improvement of Hong Kong's democracy, but also a moment when the general public in Hong Kong finally find a way out after years of debates, wrangling55, and protracted56 clashing in the Occupy Central movement."
The current Legislative Council has a total of 70 members.
The proposed universal suffrage package needs to secure support from at least 47 Legislative Council members.
China, S Korea, Japan to Step up Anti-Pollution Coop
Anchor:
Environment ministers from China, South Korea and Japan have signed a joint action plan to tackle environmental issues over the next five years.
The top targets that the three countries will take on include air pollution, sand storms and mercury contamination.
Luo Wen has more.
Reporter:
The 17th Tripartite Environment Ministers Meeting between China, South Korea and Japan has been held in Shanghai.
Ministers signed the Tripartite Joint Action Plan on Environmental Cooperation on Thursday, agreeing on lists of specific joint activities in nine priority areas.
The nine priority areas include air quality improvement; biodiversity; chemical management and environmental emergency response.
Chinese environment minister Chen Jining says China has made progress in combating air pollution, as the average density57 of fine particle matter or PM 2.5 in 74 cities adopting a new air quality index has dropped.
"In the first quarter of this year, the decreasing trend sped up. The average PM 2.5 density in 74 cities decreased by 16 percent. PM 2.5 density in cities in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was reduced by more than 27 percent. "
Japanese environment minister Mochizuki Yoshio proposed that the three countries will step up their cooperation in the fields of monitoring technologies and emission58 reduction measures.
"China, Japan and South Korea will continue their discussion about policies combating air pollutions. Such discussions have been successfully held twice before. We will share information and jointly59 carry out research in terms of monitoring technologies, survey methods and emission reductions measures… At this meeting, we have agreed to build two working groups in charge of air pollution."
South Korean environment minister Yoon Seongkyu added that dust and sand storm forecasting will be another priority for the trilateral cooperation initiative.
"The three countries will build a research group composed of 30 experts. Each country will dispatch 10 people for studies related to dust and sand storms. Actually, the trilateral cooperation regarding monitoring and forecasting of sand storms started in 2002. "
According to Yoon Seongkyu, the meeting agreed a research plan on dust and sand storms over the next five years, aimed at improve forecasting accuracy.
The Tripartite Environment Ministers Meeting was first held in 1999. The three countries rotate the hosting of the meeting annually60.

Grand parade marks 40th anniversary of end of war
Anchor:
Vietnam has commemorated61 the liberation of Saigon, an event which marked the end of the Vietnam War which plagued the country for over three decades.
Our reporter Guo Yan has the details:
Reporter:
Some 6,000 children, women, veterans and soldiers marched towards the Presidential Palace --known also as the Reunification Palace.
Most of the spectators were war veterans and members of the ruling party.
Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung addressed the ceremony.
"I call on Vietnamese people at home and abroad to uphold the sense of patriotism64, the tradition of humanity and tolerance65; to rise above the past and differences; to sincerely engage in national reconciliation66."
Phan Thi Thuy took part in the parade.
"I'm here today with many others and we are gathered to remember our country's memories. When I watch the reenactments, I am very touched by our nation's patriotism"
Also present were some of those who documented the deadly war, shocking international viewers who were previously67 unaware68 of the true horrors of conflict.
Tim Page is a former Vietnam War photographer.
"It's good to see Vietnam becoming robust69, becoming strong, organized. I want to see the corruption70 gone."
The Liberation of Saigon not only marked the end of the war, but also a decade of U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
And He believes that the movement helped bring about change.
"You can tell from Vietnam there is a certain skepticism in America, what ever there religious disposition72 is. They do remember Vietnam, they do remember being sold a bill of goods and they remember all the boys that came back in body bags or limbless or had to go to the VA hospital that is underfunded. I think there is a healthy skepticism that would rise to the occasion if we got into a ground war big time."
Estimates of casualties during the Vietnam War reach into the millions.
The Vietnamese government has said it claimed the lives of up to 4 million people, while the U.S. Defense73 Ministry has said 58,000 U.S. troops were killed.

China's top legislature has passed an amendment77 to the country's Advertising Law that restricts baby formula advertising, with the aim of promoting breastfeeding.
CRI's Tu Yun has the details.
Reporter:
The new amendment stipulates79 that "Dairy products, drinks and other food advertisements that claim to be partial or complete substitutes for mother's milk shall be banned from the mass media or public venues80".
The move has been welcomed by people who champion breastfeeding as the best source of nutrition for newborns, as breastfeeding improves babies' immune systems and reduces the likelihood of obesity81 in adulthood82.
Statistics show that less than one third of infants younger than six months were 100 percent breastfed in China in 2008.
And the number is declining.
In order to reverse this situation, the Chinese government has set a goal to raise the number of babies to 50 percent by 2020.
And it has introduced measures to encourage breast feeding, such as building dedicated83 rooms in public venues for new mothers.
Hospitals are also encouraging new mothers to feed their babies themselves.
"In our hospital, unless the mothers need medication or a baby needs treatment, we encourage new mothers to breastfeed their babies as soon as possible. 90 percent of the mothers in our hospital breastfeed their babies."
China enacted85 a law to prohibit the advertisement and promotion86 of breast milk substitutes twenty years ago. However, its enforcement lacks teeth as the punishment is limited to warnings, confiscation87 or small fines.
This time, the maximum fine for a violation41 amounts to one million yuan, which is over 160-thousand US dollars.
However, Zhang Dianyuan, a professor at Fudan University's School of Journalism88 says the new regulation may not be strictly89 enforced:
"The big dairy companies may not be able to change the law, they could use their big public relations influence to avoid punishment. For medium and small companies, the penalty for violating the rule is very low, and they can make a lot of money by violating it."
What professor Zhang says is based on China's baby formula market.
China has about 16 million new-borns every year and the baby formula market is worth 18 billion yuan.
Many companies are prepared to take the risk of being fined to make profits in this enormous market.
Meanwhile, some mothers say they will still buy formula products, as they are not really affected by advertising. Their knowledge about baby formula products mostly comes from friends and peers.
" The ads for baby formula products won't affect me. I talk to my friends and then decide whether to use milk powder."
"My friends and I share our experiences with formula milk. I've also looked for some information online."
The change in the law only restricts ads in the mass media, but there is not a clear definition of just what that phrase means.
And an increasing number of formula products are using new marketing90 techniques, employing new media and peer to peer marketing.

Kiss, The Doobie Brothers honored at ASCAP Music Awards
American rock bands 'Kiss' and 'The Doobie Brothers' were among the honorees at the 32nd annual ASCAP Pop Music Awards, held in Los Angeles.
The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers celebrated134 artists of the most performed ASCAP pop songs of 2014.
Gene54 Simmons said the secret to the band's success, which has spanned 41 years, is all about timing136.
"Maybe it's fair to say that you have to have the right thing at the right place and the right time. Not sure if we had the same work ethic137 and the same shows and everything else during the Renaissance138 period, I don't know if people would look at us like aliens, so we happened to have come out at that right time."
The Doobie Brothers received the Voice of Music Award.
Max Martin won Songwriter of the Year, and John Legend's "All of Me" took Song of the Year.
Past winners include Sean "Diddy" Combs, Sir Paul McCartney, Stephen Sondheim and Joni Mitchell.
