And here is the news from the Voice of America. I’m David DeForest from VOA News Centre in Washington. U.S. President Barack Obama says (inaction) on climate change could leave future generations with an irreversible catastrophe. Mr. Obama called on world leaders today to move boldly, (swiftly) and together to combat the problem. He addressed world leaders gathered in New York for a climate change (summit). "Each of us must do what we can when we can to grow our economies without endangering our planet. And we must all do it together. We must (seize) the opportunity to make Copenhagen a significant step forward in the global fight against climate change." Officials hope to make progress toward a global climate (treaty) that governments planned to finalize during a December meeting in Denmark. Mr. Obama said the security and stability of each nation and all peoples are in (jeopardy) and the time is running out to reverse the effects of climate change. But Mr. Obama said the current trend is (reversible). More than 90 heads of state are attending the U.N. meeting. U.S. President Barack Obama is hosting a joint meeting of the Israeli and Palestinian leaders in New York today in an effort to restart Middle East peace talks. All sides have been careful not to raise hopes about the meeting which will take place on the (sidelines) of the United Nations General Assembly. Honduran security forces have broken up (demonstrations) outside the Brazilian embassy where deposed President Manuel Zelaya has taken refuge. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has (appealed) for calm and dialogue. She met in New York with Costa Rican President Oscar Arias. VOA's David Gollust reports. The dramatic return of Mr. Zelaya dominated a (previously-scheduled) meeting on Honduras between Clinton and the Costa Rican leader, both of whom expressed hope that the latest turn of events does not lead to violence. The (left-leaning) elected Honduran leader was arrested by the military and deported three months ago in a dispute over his efforts to stage a (referendum) that would have allowed him to remain in office beyond the end of his term, which ends in January. Though officials in Tegucigalpa (contend) that Mr. Zelaya's ouster and replacement with interim President Roberto Micheletti was legal, the United States and other Organization of American States member countries say it was a coup d’état, and the Obama administration has (suspended) most aid to Honduras. Earlier this month, the United States revoked travel visas for members of the interim government and warned that it might not recognize the results of the country's upcoming (presidential) election planned for November 29.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (boasted) about his country's military power at an army parade today during the military procession commemorating the start of the Iran-Iraq war in 1980. The president said no country would ever dare to attack Iran, because it is more experienced and powerful than ever before. The parade was marred by the crash of an air force plane that killed seven people. State media reports the crash occurred in a (rural) area south of Tehran. There was no word on the cause of the crash. A major U.S. newspaper is reporting the U.S. Department of Defense has told its top (commander) in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, to delay submitting a request for additional troops. The Wall Street Journal quotes defense officials today as saying the Obama administration asked for the delay so it can be sure the U.S. is using the right (strategy) before looking into additional troop requests. French riot police in northern France have cleared, then (bulldozed) a squalid refugee camp populated by several hundred illegal migrants trying to cross into Britain. Police and the migrants scuffled briefly today before authorities in the ports of (the) Calais moved into the rickety shelters’ kitchens and a (mosque). French Immigration Minister Eric Besson described the camp as a place where people were exploited by human traffickers. All U.S. government (facilities) in South Africa have been closed for the day because of what US officials say is a security threat. A notice on the U.S. embassy websites says the move was based on information from a regional security office. Rebels in Ethiopia's Ogaden region deny helping Somalia's Islamists attack on a town on the Somali-Ethiopian border.
