Millions of files, including extremely harsh videos showing sexual assaults on very young people, were confiscated, with one arrested mans camera containing images of his 13-year- old niece and a neighbours child, aged just two. auStralia: An explosion on a boat carrying asylum seekers was caused by passengers intentionally setting fire to the vessel, an inquiry has concluded. Five people died when the boat, carrying 47 asylum seekers from Afghanistan and two crew, exploded as it was being escorted by the navy to Christmas Island, where the government processes refugee applicants. The boat sank and the survivors were saved by the navy. iSrael: The government and military have retained high- powered international lawyers and set up a joint task force to fend off attempts by Palestinians and their supporters to try Israeli officials on war crimes charges abroad. For nearly a decade, activists have turned to courts outside Israel in an effort to try Israeli political and military officials outside the jurisdiction of their own courts, none of which have succeeded. romania: The coalition government yesterday collapsed after Social Democratic Party ministers quit in protest at the firing of the interior minister. Party leader Mircea Geoana said they resigned in solidarity with Dan Nica, who was fired by Prime Minister Emil Boc (pictured) over comments he made about potential fraud in upcoming elections.

Ronald Tackman, 54, was wearing a suit while waiting to appear before a judge but slipped into a locked area behind a court where an official spotted him and, thinking he was a lawyer, let him out. On the verge of collapse: A house in Padang, Sumatra was severely damaged in the first earthquake New quake takes death toll to 1,100By MILES ERWINA SECOND large earthquake, heavy rain and blackouts are severely hampering ef- forts to rescue thousands of people bur- ied under rubble on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The death toll has already reached 1,100 but it is feared thousands more could have lost their lives. The city of Padang, with a population of 1million, had no help overnight as the airport was damaged and the main road cut off by the 7.6 magnitude earthquake that hit on Tuesday. A second earthquake, measuring 6.6 on the Richter scale, hit 320km (200 miles) north of the western city in the early hours of yesterday. Speaking to Metro from Padang, Hani- zam Ghani, a worker for Action Aid, said conditions on the ground were being se- verely disrupted by the weather. People are living in makeshift tents, built from anything they can find. They are camped outside their houses, too scared to go in- side but too scared to leave. Support is beginning to arrive but we do what we can. Its pitch black at night and people are digging with their hands in the dark. She said two hospitals had collapsed and children were buried in the remains of several schools that were destroyed. Inel Rosnelli from Oxfam said: Many people are still trapped in the buildings. Most of the victims seem to be in the cen- tre of the town and everything is blocked. Traffic cannot move because of the de- struction.
