NEWS MAKER Hanan Ashrawi Hopes Delegate To Leave Within Hours PALESTINIAN negotiators said on Sunday they hoped to leave within hours for peace talks in Washington but were awai- ting assurances from the United States that they would not be harassed by Israel. "We still have a few things to finalise prior our leaving and I hope this will be done by this morning, spokeswoman Hanan Ashrawi said. The Palestinian delegation asked for assurances after Israeli border guards rejected five of its members from crossing the Al- len by Bridge into Jordan on Friday, saying they did not have the right papers. Ashrawi said Palestinian negotiators had been in contact with the U.S. State Department since the delegation delayed its de- parture for Washington. "We have received assurances from the Americans. They said we will have a detailed written agreement on the status and treatment of the delegation," Ashrawi made it clear. She said the United States was mediating between Palesti- hians and Israeli officials "at the highest levels". After a three-hour delay at the bridge on Friday Israeli autho- rities said five of the Palestinians aged under 35 did not have permits allowing them to return immediately after the peace alks Without permits, they must remain abroad at least nine months. The five were support staff attached to the delegation. The authorities suggested the Palestinians make written re- quests to receive permits at the bridge. An Israeli official said their refusal showed they do not want to settle the issue quietly. "They took advantage of the situation and turned it into a me- dia event," said a spokesman for Israel's military co-ordinator in the occupied terriories. "They refused to sign and then left, Now, the problem is theirs," Hanan Asharawi said. Ashrawi said none of the delegates to previous rounds of talks had been asked to obtain the permits. "This is neither a technical nor a minor issue. It's matter of substance," sehe said. Ashrawi said if the delegates left on Sunday they would try to arrive in Washington by Monday morning in time for the start of the talks. The Israeli delegation left for Washington early on Sunday, Israel radio said. (Rtr). gail to be gay A 19b0x Jonh Bryan Involved In Royal Scandal THE 40TH anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's accession to the throne has turned out to be a year of royal scandal and upsets -- even bringing criticism of her role as a mother. The poolside frolics of the Duchess of York with a rich Texan, John Bryan have crowned of public relations disasters casting a pall over celebrations marking four decades since the queen took the throne in 1952. The sovereign has sought to rise above the rows, going ahead with public duties as gossips chatter about her children's troub- led marriages and their luxury liver. The familiar royal smile has barely slipped. But the questioning mood has also been directed at the queen herself as a dynastic leader and constitutional monarch in a country which strives for a "classless society" but remains obses- sed with its lords and ladies. Some newspapers have expressed sympathy for the queen, saying her regal aura must not be diminished by family troubles. But the less reverent have wondered openly whether the mother might be partly to blame for the children's failings. One theory debated in the press is that the queen's dual duty to her royal her family could have affected her children's ability to form long-term love relationships. (Rtr). SENIN, 24 AGUSTUS 1992 Bali Post South Korean Minister In China To Set Up Ties Beijing- South Korea's foreign minister arrived in Beijing on Sunday to establish diplomatic relations with China, ending four decades of Cold War hostility and breaking ties with an angry Taiwan. Lee Sang-ock stepped off a spe- cial Asiana Airline at just past noon at the special Beijing air- port reserved for dignitaries and I was met by a senior Chinese fo- reign ministry official. The two talked for about 25 minutes in a VIP room, He and cunterpart Qian Qic- hen will meet later on Sunday at the Diaoyutai State Guest House. The two are expected to sign an agreement on Monday es- tablishing diplomatic ties. The official Chinese press was taciturn on the event despite what analysts saw as a conside- rable diplomatic victory for China. The People's Daily on Sunday said only: "During the (August 23-25) visit, the two foreign mi- nisters will sign agreement on normalising relations between the two countries." When the ink on the communi- que is dry, the book will be closed on China's Korean War role when it fought side-by-side with com- munist ally North Korea against South Korea in the early 1950s. It will also spell the end of Tai- wan's diplomatic with South Korea. As a result Taiwan will have diplomatic ties with only 29 sta- tes -- none of them in Asia -- be- cause of its rivalry with China, which has claimed sovereignty over the island since the end of the civil war in 1949. Taiwan's Foreign Minister Freden Chien said on Saturday that Taipei would break ties with South Korea when Seoul estab- lished official relations with China. Chien announced Taipei would also cancel all trade privi- leges to Seoul and suspend bila- teral air links. "We are expressing the stro- ngest action and anger towards South Korea," Chien said. Several dozen Taiwanese de- monstrators, chanting "Korea -- you have betrayed our trust!", hurled eggs at Seoul's embassy in Taipei and trampled on South Korean flags. Possible North Korea's Reaction It is not clear yet how North Korea will react to what Pyo- ngyang no doubt sees as a be- trayal by China, its closest comrade. North Korea, its economy in tatters following a withdrawal of aid from the former Soviet Union, is not likely to be pushed aside by its main benefactor Beijing, di- plomats said. It will be pushed to improve ties with South Korea now that China has done so, they said. The agreement Lee and Qian will sign include the establis- hment of ambassadorial-level ties, South Korea's recognition of the one-China policy, maintai- ning neighbourly ties and China's support for inter-Korean efforts to solve the Korean di- spute, the South Korean agency Yonhap said. The two sides already conduct substantial trade, totalling about $5.8 billion in 1991 against $3.8 billion in 1990. China ran a $65 million surplus with South Korea last year. In Sunday some South Ko- reans accused President Roh Tae-woo of abandoning old ally Taiwan without any prior notice to clinch ties with China. "What President Roh Tae-woo did was very wrong. He showed the whole world that South Ko- rea was nothing but a selfish na- tion that betray friends" said a 27-year-old white-collar worker, who asked to be called Kim. "It's just not right. We shouldn't be doing this to them. Have we forgotten the past? We owe them much more than this," said Lee, a 22-year-old student majoring in politics. (Rtr). Bush, Clinton Campaign Hard Woodstock, Georgia- President George Bush, buoyed by opinion polls showing him narrowing the popularity gap with Bill Clinton in the wake of the Republican National Con- vention, wetn vote-hunting on the Arkansas governor's home turf of the southern state on Saturday. At a rain-soaked outdoor rally outside Atlanta, Bush saoght to identify himself with southern values of family pride, deep reli- gious belief and service in the mi- litary in a bid to keep Clinton from stealing support in the Sunbelt. The Democratic challenger on Saturday defended his stance on the Gulf War against Iraq, critici- sed by Bush as indecisive, saying Bush had distorted his position Clinton as an out-of-step liberal who would team up with the "gridlocked liberal Democratic Congress" to burden the country with more taxes and government spending. The November 3 election is "a choice between different agen- das...and it's a choise about the character of the man that your want to lead this great nation for the next four years," Bush said. New polls Most analysts expect a very close overall election outcome despite widespread discontent with Bush over a sluggish eco- nomy. Their views are supported by new polls which show a consi- derable tightenning of the race. A Newsweek poll taken after points, and a survey conducted by the Los Angeles Times showed behind by eight per cent. Polls look very good. There's a range of them, but they all show that we re getting very close," White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said. Speaking to another huge, friendly crowd in Hoover, Ala- bama, the 68-year old president shed out at the press, saying: "They don't know good news when they see it." Bush's salvoes were mild after Representative Newt Gingrich, who suggested in awarm-up speech that the Democratic Party espoused the same family values as film maker Woody Allen, who has ackowledged having a love affair with the adopted daughter Farrow.

Yugoslav civil war has sunk hopes of a "new world order" of peace and progress proclaimed by U.S. President George Bush following the collapse of commu- nism and the allied victory over Iraq in the Gulf War. "Yugoslavia defeated the ini- tiatives of every single authority available to the international community," says analyst John Zametica in a pamphlet just pub- lished by the London-based In- ternational Institute for Strate- gic Studies. "The heralded new world order appeared a farcical proposition in the light of the Yugoslav expe- rience.'

The fighting kept Europe at an awkward moment, with the Cold War just over but no reliable structures in place to deal with the problems of the brave new world that was emerging. The Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, seen by many as the great hope for the future, had no mechanisms to tackle serious crisis and quickly gave up, confining itself to mee- tings of officials to review the si- tuation. A separate EC conference on Bosnia-Herzegovina has met this year in Lisbon and London but with no greater results because the Bosnian factions -- Moslem, Serb and Croat -- could not agree or because their agreements did not stop the fighting.

Moslem Women Report Two Missing, Two Dead Mass Rape New York- Moslem women in a town captured by Serb forces in north Bos- nia were raped by their captors, who told some victims they were following orders, according to accounts of some 20 women inter- viewed by New York Newsday. A story in the newspaper Sunday editions recounts in detail allegations of abduction and rape of about 40 young women from Brezevo Polje, a small town in Bosnia-Herzegovina which Serb forces took over. The women, 25 of whom were examined by a gyneclogical team, were interviewed at a refugee centre and agreed to be photographed and quoted, but identified only by first name and age, the newspaper said. Newsday said the mass rapes appeared to be part of a war po- licy by the Serb forces. We have orders to rape the girls," Mirsada, 23, said her abduc- tor told her. He also said he was "ashamed to be a Serb" and added "everything that is going on is a war crime," according to the account. "We want the world to know about our truth. All mothers, all women said Enada, 17, who wrote out her statement and gave it to the chief gynecologist at Tuzla Hospital with the request that it be passed on to Newsday. The newspaper said the Brezevo Polje incident was just one of a number of indications that systemised rape has gone on during the conquest of Bosnia. Four other refugees at the centre, from another town, were quo- ted as saying they had been detained for 10 days by their Serb captors and raped nightly by three or more men. The chief gynecologist examining the women said some women were not raped but instructed to tell others that they have been. "They were raped because it was the goal of the war," said Dr Melika Kreitmayer. "My impression is that someone had an order to rape the girls." (Rtr).
