Thousands March In Paris Against Gay Marriage

Thousands of people have marched through the streets of Paris to protest against President Francois Hollande's plan to legalise gay marriage and adoption by June.

Protesters waving pink-and-white posters walked through Paris in near freezing temperatures, many of them couples with children in tow, in strollers or on their fathers' shoulders.

"I am perfectly happy that homosexual couples have rights and are recognised from a civil point of view," said protester Vianney Gremmel. "But I have questions regarding adoption."

Cardinal André Vingt-Trois, a Catholic leader who launched the opposition with a critical sermon in August, met protesters in southern Paris and expressed his "encouragement that Christians express what they think."

Leaders of most faiths in France have spoken out, stressing problems for children that they saw emerging from same-sex marriage rather than addressing the argument among supporters that it was simply an issue of equal rights for gay adults.

Spectators watch the crowds on the march gathering

"The French are tolerant, but they are deeply attached to the family and the defence of children," said Daniel Liechti, vice-president of the National Council of French Evangelicals.

Support for gay marriage in France has slipped by about 10% to under 55% since opponents began speaking out, according to surveys, and fewer than half of those polled recently wanted gay people to win adoption rights.

Under this pressure, politicians have dropped a plan to also allow lesbians access to artificial insemination.

Organisers insist they are not against gays and lesbians but for traditional marriage and only allowed approved posters and banners to be displayed.

Slogans included "marriagophile, not homophobe," "all born of a father and mother" and "paternity, maternity, equality".

Organisers reserved five high-speed trains and 900 buses to bring protesters from provincial towns to the capital - some before dawn - to join Parisiennes and display the extent of the opposition that has built up in recent weeks.

Same-sex weddings are legal in 11 countries including Belgium, Portugal, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Norway and South Africa, as well as nine US states and Washington DC.

NYC Flu Outbreak Is Public Health Emergency

A public health emergency has been declared in New York after nearly 20,000 flu cases have been reported this season.

Officials are tackling the worst influenza outbreak in several years and an immunisation programme has been expanded to reduce the spread of the illness.

Pharmacists are not usually authorised to vaccinate children under 18 but New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has suspended this order to increase the number of people being protected.

The 20,000 reported cases are more than four times the 4,400 positive laboratory tests reported for the whole of the previous season.

"We are experiencing the worst flu season since at least 2009, and influenza activity in New York state is widespread, with cases reported in all 57 counties and all five boroughs of New York City," Mr Cuomo said in a statement.

"Therefore, I have directed my administration, the State Health Department and others to marshall all needed resources to address this public health emergency."

The flu season in the US got under way a month early, in December, driven by a strain that tends to make people sicker. That led to worries that it might be a bad season, following one of the mildest flu seasons in recent memory.

The latest numbers do show that the flu surpassed an "epidemic" threshold last week. That is based on deaths from pneumonia and influenza in 122 US cities.

The government doesn't keep a running tally of adult deaths from the flu, but estimates that it kills about 24,000 people in an average year. Nationally, 20 children have died from the flu this season.

Flu usually peaks in mid-winter. Symptoms can include fever, cough, runny nose, head and body aches and fatigue. Some people also suffer vomiting and diarrhoea, and some develop pneumonia or other severe complications.

Israel Evicts Palestinians From Protest Camp

Palestinian protesters have been forced out of a camp they set up in an area earmarked for a Jewish housing project.

Israeli police backed by bulldozers evicted the group from the West Bank hilltop in the early hours of Sunday, two days after 200 Palestinian activists pitched tents in an area known as E1.

The protesters had ignored Israeli orders to leave until police moved in.

One Palestinian legislator, Mustafa Barghouti, said: "Hundreds of Israeli police came from all directions, surrounding all those who were in the tents and arresting them one by one."

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said no arrests had been made.

"They were told they were trespassing and carefully escorted from the site one by one," he said. "Nobody was hurt on either side."

About 500 police took part in the operation, he added. He said the tents were not dismantled and that a decision on that would be made later.

Protest organisers said six people were hurt as they were carried away by police and vowed that the protest would not be the last of its kind.

In documents released to the media, Israeli state lawyers argued that if the protest were allowed to continue there was a danger that right-wing Israeli settlers, "some of them extremists", would head for the site to stage counter-demonstrations which could result in "breaches of the peace against Palestinians and security forces".

Israel announced it was moving forward with the E1 settlement after the UN recognised a de facto state of Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in November.

Palestinians say E1 would be a major blow to their statehood aspirations because it blocks east Jerusalem from its West Bank hinterland.

The construction plans drew unusually sharp criticism from some of Israel's staunchest allies including the US, which is strongly opposed to the E1 project.

Israeli officials have said construction may be years away if it ever happens, and some doubt whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu really intends to develop E1 or is pandering to hard-liners ahead of Israel's January 22 election.

Costa Concordia Shipwreck Anniversary Service

By Robert Nisbet, in Porto Santo Stefano

Survivors of the Costa Concordia shipwreck - and relatives of the 32 people who died when the cruise liner ran aground - have marked a year since the disaster with a series of events near the rusting wreckage.

The unveiling of memorials to the victims, a minute's silence and a mass in their honour at the church on the island of Giglio, where many of the survivors were treated after they were forced to abandon the listing ship, were held to recall the tragedy.

The first event of Sunday's day-long commemoration was the return to the sea of part of the massive rock that tore into the hull of the 112,000-ton ocean liner on January 13, 2012, and remained embedded as the vessel capsized.

A crane on a tug lowered the boulder onto the reef off Giglio. Affixed to it was a memorial plaque. Survivors and relatives of the dead embraced as they watched the ceremony from another boat.

The commemoration will also include a symbolic launch of lanterns into the sea at the moment the ship hit the rock which gouged a 230ft gash in the hull.

The 952ft-long cruise liner, which is twice the weight of the Titanic, hit Le Scole reef after the captain sailed within a few hundred yards of the island.

Captain Francesco Schettino is under investigation for manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning the vessel before all the passengers were evacuated.

He remains under house arrest, but has not been formally charged.

The Concordia shortly after it struck rocks

The ship had 4,252 passengers and crew and was on a six-port cruise when the captain decided to stage a "sail-past" to honour a retired seaman who lives on Giglio, off the coast of Tuscany.

Captain Schettino insists the cruise company had permitted the route on several other occasions, and that his actions in steering the stricken ship onto an underwater ledge spared the lives of many others.

Some survivors, who were offered 11,000 euros  (£9,100) compensation by Costa Cruises, were asked not to attend Sunday's event because the small island is already crowded with victims' relatives and media.

Many are now seeking civil claims against the American parent company Carnival.

The operation to right the ship is now running over budget and behind schedule because of the enormous technical challenges faced by the salvage team.

Over 400 engineers are planning to attach giant metal floats to either side of the ship - some 11 storeys high - before using a series of pullies to slowly stand the vessel.

She will then be towed to a port, possibly in Sicily, where it could take two years to dismantle the ship and sell remnants for scrap.

The salvage cost, to be mostly covered by insurance payouts, has now risen from 300m euros (£248m) to 400m euros (£331m), and is described as the biggest operation of its kind ever attempted.

The delay has been caused by environmental fears, the hard nature of the bedrock, and the position of the ship which must now be slowly shifted on its axis.

It should be refloated by the end of September at the latest.

Aaron Swartz Family Blame Prosecutors For Death

The family of internet activist and programming whizz-kid Aaron Swartz have said they blame prosecutors for his death after he took his own life aged 26.

Mr Swartz killed himself in his Brooklyn apartment weeks before he was to go on trial on accusations that he stole millions of journal articles from an electronic archive in an attempt to make them freely available.

If convicted, he faced decades in prison and significant fines.

In a statement his family said: "Aaron's death is not simply a personal tragedy. It is the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach.

"Decisions made by officials in the Massachusetts US Attorney's office and at MIT contributed to his death."

Mr Swartz was considered to be a pioneer of efforts to make online content freely available.

He was a prodigy who as a young teenager helped create RSS, a family of web feed formats used to gather updates from blogs, news headlines, audio and video for users.

He co-founded the social news website Reddit, which was later sold to Conde Nast, as well as the political action group Demand Progress, which campaigns against internet censorship.

But Mr Swartz struggled with depression.

"Surely there have been times when you've been sad," he wrote in a 2007 blog post. "Perhaps a loved one has abandoned you or a plan has gone horribly awry. Your face falls. Perhaps you cry. You feel worthless."

He wrote that "depressed mood is like that, only it doesn't come for any reason and it doesn't go for any either".

Mr Swartz pleaded not guilty to allegations that he stole the documents from JSTOR, a subscription service used by Massachusetts Institute of Technology that offers digitised copies of articles from academic journals.

Prosecutors said he intended to distribute the articles on file-sharing websites.

The prosecution "makes no sense," Demand Progress executive director David Segal said in a statement at the time. "It's like trying to put someone in jail for allegedly checking too many books out of the library."

He was "an extraordinary hacker and activist," the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an international nonprofit digital rights group based in California wrote in a tribute on its home page.

He "did more than almost anyone to make the internet a thriving ecosystem for open knowledge, and to keep it that way," the tribute said.

His family's statement went on to say: "Aaron's insatiable curiosity, creativity, and brilliance; his reflexive empathy and capacity for selfless, boundless love; his refusal to accept injustice as inevitable - these gifts made the world, and our lives, far brighter.

"We're grateful for our time with him, to those who loved him and stood with him, and to all of those who continue his work for a better world."

Costa Concordia: Hunt For Russel Rebello's Body

By Nick Pisa, Sky Reporter

Missing waiter Russel Rebello last spoke to his family six days before the Costa Concordia went down.

In a phone call, he wished his wife and son a happy new year, adding how sorry he was work had taken him away from the celebrations.

Witnesses have said the last positive sighting of the Indian-born 32-year-old was as he made his way to a muster station at the restaurant at the back of the Costa Concordia, on deck five of the ship.

He is one of two people whose bodies have still not been recovered a year after cruise ship hit rocks and ran aground.

The crew member's brother Kevin has maintained a constant vigil, shuttling from his home in Milan to the island of Giglio every few weeks.

Kevin has also set up a Facebook page in memory of his brother in which he asks anyone who may have any information to contact him.

This weekend, Kevin made the journey to Giglio to gather with survivors and rescuers to remember the tragic events of January 13 last year.

The ship ran aground off the Italian island of Giglio

He said: "I've not lost hope. I know the official search stopped a long time ago but I will continue to look for my brother's body.

"I watch every news bulletin or programme on the Concordia in the hope of finding some piece of information that will help me find my brother.

''I'm doing it not only for my own peace but also for the sanctity of my parents who are both very old.

"All they want is to give my brother a proper Christian burial. They want a tomb so that they can go there and pray for him. We are all very religious.

''For us this is something that has not stopped it has continued for weeks, months, and now we have reached the first anniversary.

"The circumstances for us are very different as we do not have a body, and we are not the only ones in that situation - one of the female passengers is also still missing.

''Those 30 people who lost loved ones on the Concordia have some closure as they have a body that they have buried and maybe a gravestone to pray at, but we don't have anything.

"More than anything we would just like to find Russel's body so we can bury him and draw a line on what happened.''

Kevin paid tribute to the islanders on Giglio and said: ''They have been so welcoming and friendly towards me. They have made me feel welcome and at home each time I go to Giglio - the mayor above all has been very friendly and warm. Giglio has become my second home."

Kevin Rebello was among those attending Sunday's memorial service

Kevin revealed he has had several phone conversations with the Concordia's captain, who is accused of multiple manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning the ship while dozens of the 4,200 passengers and crew were still on board and waiting to be rescued.

Francesco Schettino has not been charged but is living under court-ordered restrictions pending a decision on whether to indict him.

Kevin, who runs a fitness centre in Milan, said he bore no grudges against the captain, who is said to have altered the ship's course so he could carry out a sail-by-salute of Giglio and took the Concordia onto rocks, tearing a fatal 70-metre gash in its hull.

He said: ''We last spoke the day after Christmas. I wished him a merry Christmas - it was the fourth time we have spoken and we both wished each other a merry Christmas. We have never gone into the details of what happened that night. It's not up to me to judge him, that is for a court.

''I know many people would be surprised to hear that I have no bitterness towards him because people think he was responsible for what happened to my brother, but do you think by not speaking to him I will get my brother back?

''He said he regretted the incident, but what I will say is that I'm not so sure it was ultimately his fault - I think there were others involved and many people had a share of responsibility.''

Kevin added: ''All we want is for my brother's body to be found - this is very hard for all of us and I wouldn't wish it on any other family.

"My brother has a son Rhys, who is four years old - he doesn't really understand what has happened but when he is older we will tell him what a kind and good man his father was.

''We just want a body so that we can put an end to this - no-one can give us the answer to the question we want, my parents have been crying all the time, they just want my brother's body so they can grieve for him properly.

A Facebook page has been set up to help find Russel Rebello (second left)

''Of course we understand that it is a difficult job, it is a massive operation and it's not something that can be done in a matter of days or weeks. When I am not on Giglio I keep track by looking at the webcam pointed on the Concordia.

''My only other prayer apart from getting my brother's body back is that no-one is killed or seriously hurt while working on salvaging the Concordia.''

Kevin also revealed how for the first time he was apprehensive about returning to Giglio for the commemoration.

'I'm looking forward to going back as I'm always made so welcome - but this time will be exactly a year after my brother was lost. It will be difficult for me and for the others there.

''When I see the ship I will be thinking of my brother, of how kind and helpful he was and how the last time he was seen he was giving life jackets out to the passengers and crew. That's the sort of man he was, he would always help people and he was always happy and smiling.

''It's difficult to put into exact words but I think this time it will be frightening to see the ship.

"A lot of people have said how it looks like something from the movies, but this isn't Hollywood this is real life.''

Beijing Pollution 'Hazardous' For Third Day

By Mark Stone, China Correspondent, Beijing

Severe pollution is affecting large areas of northern China for a third consecutive day.

In the capital Beijing, a layer of smog blanketing the city remains at a level considered hazardous.

On Saturday, the pollution was literally off the scale at a figure well beyond that considered dangerous to human health.

According to an unofficial air quality monitor on the roof of the American Embassy in Beijing, the Air Quality Index on Saturday afternoon hit 886. Any figure above 300 is considered "hazardous".

By Sunday morning, the level had dropped to 391 which is still well into the hazardous bracket.

According to the World Health Organisation, levels of the smallest pollution particles, called PM2.5, should not be more than 25 micrograms (mcg).

At levels of 100mcg, the air is considered unhealthy. The official Chinese government reading by Sunday afternoon was 446, less than Saturday's 886 but still very high.

The Beijing skyline without pollution

On Beijing's streets, it is hard to see more than about 150 metres. The skyscrapers which dominate parts of the city are barely visible.

The pollution is so bad that it is possible to smell the air and even taste it. Residents are being urged to remain indoors but few appear to be listening to the advice.

Beijingers are used to severe pollution but not usually on quite such a level.

Yu Jianhua, from the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau, said the current weather conditions were preventing the smog from dispersing.

"Beijing has got warmer and wetter. We are facing large quantities of polluting emissions and they are not diffusing very quickly. The air is severely polluted," he said.

Mr Yu urged people to use public transport rather than their own vehicles to reduce emissions.

Even Beijing's underground network is affected. The smog was visible hanging in the air at a number of station platforms on Saturday.

Fumes from the ever-increasing number of vehicles on the city's streets contribute, but the factories surrounding the city also cause significant pollution.

Beijing is flanked on two sides by mountains. The air is dry, cold and hangs over the city. If there is no wind, all the factors combine to create the smog.

Experts also believe that the different pollutants can combine to create an even more toxic mix.

Vance Wagner is an American engineer who works on clean transportation for China. His blog Live In Beijing provides a detailed analysis of the issue.

"The atmosphere is quite the chemical soup. While direct emissions matter, a lot of air pollution is secondary, meaning that it is caused by directly emitted pollutants interacting with each other in the atmosphere, giving rise to new forms of 'secondary' pollution," he writes.

Last year, the Chinese government asked the American Embassy not to publish the figures from its monitor. The Americans refused, insisting that the information was for the benefit of its personnel.

"By recording pollution and publishing the results we are providing members of the mission community and the broader American community in China with information so that they can make better daily decisions about their outdoor activities," US spokesman Nolan Barkhouse told Sky News.

The Chinese authorities publish their own figures for the same air.

At the same time as the US monitor was recording a figure of 736, the official Chinese figure was 500 - still well beyond the hazardous level.

There is an important political dimension to the issue too, with anti-government protests around the country often connected to environmental concerns.

China's international image as a world leader is also severely dented by problems like this in its capital city.

Despite claims by the Communist Party's incoming leadership that it is trying to tackle the issue, there is still a level of denial.

The official government-controlled news agency Xinhua was describing the bad air as "fog" on Saturday.

Egypt: Hosni Mubarak Gets Retrial Over Deaths

Ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has won an appeal over his life sentence for failing to prevent the deaths of hundreds of protesters.

The 84-year-old was convicted and jailed in June last year after some 900 protesters lost their lives in the 2011 uprising that toppled his 29-year regime.

He, and his former security chief Habib al Adli, who is also serving a life sentence on the same charges, will be retried.

The reasoning for the decision was not explained by the court, but it was met with cheers from Mubarak supporters at the building.

Mubarak, who appeared in the dock on a stretcher during his trial, was moved to a Cairo hospital last month after slipping in a prison bathroom.

His health has deteriorated since he was jailed. The state news agency reported him clinically dead at one point as he slipped into a coma following a stroke.

He recovered, but was reportedly deeply depressed by the election of the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi as president.

Mohamed Abdel Razek, one of the former leader's lawyers, said: "The retrial will be based on the same evidence used in the previous trial. No new evidence will be added to the case."

He added that the new panel of judges could consider Mubarak's health when issuing a verdict.

No dates have been set for any of the retrials. Mubarak remains in custody.

Mubarak's two sons, Gamal and Alaa, are in prison while on trial for alleged insider trading and using their influence to buy state land at a fraction of its market price.

The pair were acquitted of corruption charges in the same case as their father - but will be retried after Judge Abdel Rahman accepted an appeal by prosecutors against the not guilty verdicts.

India Gang Rape: New Attack On Bus Passenger

Six men have been arrested after a woman travelling on a bus in India was gang-raped - just weeks after a similar attack provoked outrage.

The latest victim had boarded the bus to her village when she was abducted and taken on a motorbike to a house in Gurdaspur district, bordering the city of Amritsar, in the northern Punjab province.

The driver and conductor were joined by another five men and they took it in turns to rape the woman throughout Friday night, before she was dropped off at her village in the morning.

Police officer Raj Jeet Singh said a seventh suspect was being hunted.

"After raping the victim throughout the night, one of the accused dropped her near her in-laws' house the next morning where she narrated the whole incident to her sister-in-laws," he said.

The extent of the victim's injuries are yet to be established.

Last month a 23-year-old medical student died after being gang-raped on a bus in Delhi, sparking nationwide protests about violence against women.

The five men charged with murder over the December 16 attack appeared in court for the first time on Monday.

Demonstrators have called for tougher punishments for sex crimes in India

The victim, and her male companion who was beaten up by the assailants, were thrown off the moving bus. She died in hospital 13 days later.

The accused, who could face the death penalty if convicted, are also charged with kidnap, robbery and conspiracy.

There is a sixth suspect who claims he is 17 - if this is confirmed, he is likely to be tried in a juvenile court where the maximum sentence is three years in a reform facility.

Protesters have called for the police to be more vigilant and sensitive to the growing incidence of sexual assault.

Sky's India correspondent Alex Rossi said the latest attack was "strikingly similar" to the Delhi rape - but it remains to be seen if it will prompt demonstrations on the same scale.

He said: "The woman has been sent for a medical examination, and they have started the wheels of justice.

"The alleged culprits will appear in court on either Monday or Tuesday."

Mali: British Military Plane Leaves For Mission

The first British military plane destined to assist the French operation in Mali has left for the first stage of its mission, Sky sources say.

The RAF C17 is stopping off in Paris first to load before a 10-hour flight to the West African country and will not arrive there before tomorrow, the sources added.

It comes after Downing Street confirmed the Prime Minister had agreed to provide "logistical military assistance" to the French.

David Cameron spoke to Francois Hollande on Saturday evening as France attempted to contain al Qaeda-linked rebels in the north of the West African country.

French fighter jets and attack helicopters launched fresh strikes on Islamist strongholds in northern Mali on Sunday.

Prominent Islamist leader Abdel Krim  - nicknamed "Kojak" - is reported to have been killed in the strikes.

French troops prepare to board a flight to Mali from a base in Chad

A 600-strong multi-national West African force, authorised by the UN Security Council to help the Mali government reclaim control of the north of the country, is also on its way to the capital Bamako. It will be commanded by General Shehu Abdulkadir of Nigeria.

In addition, Burkina Faso, Niger, Senegal and Togo have all pledged around 500 troops this weekend, while Benin has said it will send 300 soldiers.

French military strikes on the country have already claimed the lives of at least 100 rebels in a fight over the strategic town of Konna.

Eleven Malian soldiers are reported to have been killed and a further 60 wounded in the recent fighting.

Mr Hollande has raised his country's terror threat level amid fears of retaliatory attacks in France.

He said France "has to take all necessary precautions" in the face of a terrorist threat, including "surveillance of our public buildings and our transport network".

The UN's Sahel envoy Romano Prodi, left, and President Dioncounda Traore

A Downing Street spokesman said last night: "The Prime Minister spoke to President Hollande this evening to discuss the deteriorating situation in Mali and how the UK can support French military assistance provided to the Malian government to contain rebel and extremist groups in the north of the country.

"The Prime Minister has agreed that the UK will provide logistical military assistance to help transport foreign troops and equipment quickly to Mali.

"We will not be deploying any British personnel in a combat role.

"Both leaders agreed that the situation in Mali poses a real threat to international security given terrorist activity there.

"They discussed the need to work with the Malian government, regional neighbours and international partners to prevent a new terrorist haven developing on Europe's doorstep and to reinvigorate the UN led political process once the rebel advance has been halted.

"The National Security Council, which was already due to meet on Tuesday, will now consider the situation in Mali and discuss what needs to be done to secure a lasting political settlement in Mali."

Islamist rebels seized a swathe of northern Mali last spring

One French pilot has died in the military action after hundreds of French soldiers were deployed in the country.

Mr Hollande took action in Mali at the request of interim President Dioncounda Traore, who has declared a state of emergency.

Western governments expressed alarm on Thursday after an al Qaeda-linked rebel alliance captured Konna, a gateway towards the capital Bamako 600km (375 miles) south.

The Malian army has said it was attacking the "last pockets of resistance" by insurgents in Konna after they recaptured it with the help of the French.

Mr Hollande said the "terrorist groups, drug traffickers and extremists" in northern Mali "show a brutality that threatens us all." He vowed that the operation would last "as long as necessary".

The West African regional bloc ECOWAS has now authorised the immediate deployment of troops to Mali.

The bloc's commission president, Kadre Desire Ouedraogo, said it made the decision "in light of the urgency of the situation".

French Mirage 2000 D aircraft en route to the Mali operation

For the past nine months, the Islamic militants have controlled a large swathe of northern Mali, a lawless desert region where kidnapping has flourished.

Mr Hollande said the operation was aimed in part at protecting 6,000 French citizens in Mali, including seven who are being held captive.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Senegal and Nigeria also responded to an appeal from Mali's president for help to counter the militants.

Late last year, the 15 nations in West Africa, including Mali, agreed on a proposal for the military to take back the north, and sought backing from the UN.

The Security Council authorised the intervention but imposed certain conditions, including the training of Mali's military, which has been accused of serious human rights abuses since a military coup last year sent the nation into disarray.

Al Qaeda's affiliate in Africa has been a shadowy presence for years in the forests and deserts of poverty-stricken Mali.

Most Malians adhere to a moderate form of Islam, but in recent months the terrorist group and its allies have taken advantage of political instability, taking territory they use to stock weapons and train forces.

The Islamists have insisted they want to impose Sharia only in northern Mali, though there long have been fears they could push further south.
