2cm NEWS MAKER Italy's Bettino Craxi Moves Closer To Corruption Trial FORMER Italian Socialist leader Bettino Craxi moved a step closer on Tuesday to standing trial for corruption when a key member of the MP's jury examining his case came out in favour of lifting his parliamentary immunity. Roberto Pinza, a Christian Democrat, told reporters he would recommend that a parliamentary commission should vote to lift Craxi's immunity. The commission, which is not bound to follow Pinza's lead, will make its decision on Tuesday or Wednesday. If the vote goes against Craxi, the issue of his immunity goes to the full chamber. Former prime minister Craxi is under inquiry by Milan inves- tigating magistrates who want to put him on trial on charges of corruption and breaking party funding laws. Craxi, who resigned as Socialist leader last month, has denies the charges, claiming he is the victim of a legal vendetta. He has urged the commission not to lift his immunity from prosecution. He has hinted he will make potentially sensational revelations implicating other political leaders if he is forced to stand trial. (Rtr).

The resolution also expressed council "readiness" to support the result of the elections for a constituent assembly which will lead to the formation of a new go- vernment "for all Cambodians" by September. "In voting for the resolution, we have committed ourselves to supporting only the government which will emerge from the elec- tions as the sole legitimate aut- hority for all of Cambodia," said U.S. Ambassador Madeleine Albright. But the resolution stopped short of recognising any future Cambodian government. "There comes a point when the process is in the hands of the Cambodians and if they start deviating from the peace agreements, we're not going to say that is all right," said one Western diplomat. China's delegate, Chen Jian, however, left open the hope the Khmer Rouge would participate at a future date. "Only when all the Cambodian participate fully in the peace pro- cess, can the success of the peace process in Cambodia be guaran- teed," he said. The Khmer Rouge, which holds about a fourth of the coun- try, has refused to join the May 23-27 election by allowing people in its region to register before the United Nations closed voter lists at the end of January. Khmer Rouge Isolated By strongly endorsing the peace process, the resolution ef- fectively isolated the Khmer Rouge, a move which could either lead to partition of the country or renewed fighting. The United Nations is spen- ding $1.4 billion annually on a peace-keeping force of 15,000 and close to 5,000 civilians. numbers. The Khmer Rouge, militarily the strongest faction in Cambo- dia, were held responsible for up to a million deaths when it ruled the country from 1975 to 1978. It sought total dissolution of the current Vietnamese-backed government in Phnom Penh be- fore the elections, although this was not in the peace agreement. The group also insists there are large numbers of Vietnamese forces still in the country. The resolution for the first time expresses concern to reports that "a small number of foreign military personnel" are serving with government forces in viola- tion of the peace agreements, and calls for the "immediate removal of all foreign forces, advisors of military personnel from Cambodia." The Security Council also de- manded that all parties take Secretary-General Boutros measures to put an end to all acts Boutros-Ghali has said a conside- of violence and all threats and in- rable number of these forces timidation "committed on politi- should remain behind after the cal or ethnic grounds" -- a refe- elections and the Security Coun- rence to actions by both the cil endorsed his report without Khmer Rouge and Phnom Penh committing itself to any specific government forces.

The Statistics Bureau repor- ted that retail turnover, aided by post-Christmas sales, rose 4.2 per cent in January to Australian $8.1 billion ($5.7 billion). Economists had expected a rise of about 3,5 per cent. "The growth in retail trade is further evidence of the conti- nuing recovery in the Australian economy," Treasurer John Daw- kins said in a statement. Economists were more cau- tious, noting the rise in January was offset by December's fall of 3.7 per cent.

Keating and Dawkins also reaffirmed their belief that inte- rest rates would fall after the March 13 election. Comments by Keating on Monday cast doubts on a cut. "Interest rate reductions are a possibility after the election," Keating told reporters in Mel- bourne. Dawkins also said a rate cut was possible, although a final decision would depend on the health of the Australian dollar. (Rtr).

Up to 15 cult members may also have died in the ensuing shootout. Cult followers appear willing to die to fulfil a prophecy that Ko- resh is the Messiah and the end of the world is near. "People in the compound are firmly committed to this endea- vour and they are willing to die for their leader," Ricks said. By Koresh's count, 90 adults and 17 children remain barrica- ded in the compound. Complex Fortification Cult members have been busy fortifying the complex, and have taunted agents surrounding the farm by sticking what appear to be automatic weapons through holes in the side of a building, Ricks said. Federal authorities have ta- ken greater precautions by bri- nging in heavily armoured M-1 Abrams tanks to replace the lig- hter armoured personnel car- riers. Koresh claims to have enough firepower, possibly roc- Koresh still contends he will walk out if he receives a message from God, but refuses to specu- late about when that might oc- cur, the FBI said. Last week the FBI said discus- around personal matters and scriptures. But on Monday the FBI relayed a much more hostile sions with Koresh revolved tone of conversation. Throughout discussions with Koresh, he had indicated he has been prepared for this confronta- tion since 1985," Ricks said. "That he has stockpiled extensive arms and ammunition. At times he has challenged us and he has tried to provoke us into action." Resolution But authorities remain com- mitted to a peaceful resolution, and Ricks said the more than 400 federal agents and police who have ringed the cult's compound have no intention of being drawn into a fight. A mass suicide appears unli- kely, as it is contrary to the reli- gious beliefs of Koresh, who Ricks said does not want to fulfil his prophecy by taking his own life. (Reuter).

During the meeting with mem- bers of the House Budget Com- mittee at the White House, Clin- ton "agreed to accept $55 billion in additional cuts over five years," said White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers.

Kuala Lumpur - Russia, pushing hard to sell MiG-29 fighter jets, has offered to buy one million tonnes of Ma- laysian palm oil worth $400 mil lion a year if the arms deal is se- cured, a Malaysian minister said on Tuesday. "Palm oil is one of the counter- trade items under the proposed deal," Primary Industries Minis- ter Lim Keng Yaik said. "It is willing to import one mil- lion tonnes for its own consum- ption and for distribution to other (Commonwealth of Independent States) republics," he told reporters. Lim, speaking after talks with visiting Uzbekistan Foodstuff Minister Nematulla Khamidov, did not give other details of the proposed palm oil-for-planes deal.
