June 27, 2006 HONG KONG - A high-level Vatican delegation is in Beijing for secret negotiations on the possible reopening of diplomatic relations, a report said.
It would be the first time senior Vatican officials have visited China on a formal diplomatic mission since 2000, when talks halted following Beijing's protest about the Vatican's canonisation of 120 Chinese martyrs. The South China Morning Post said the delegation, which arrived in the capital on Sunday, was led by a senior Holy See negotiator and a senior official of the Vatican Secretariat of State. |

Associated Press June 27, 2006 CLINTON, Mo. - A three-story Elks Club building partially collapsed as its members gathered for a dinner, trapping 10 people inside. Six of the 10 were pulled out early Tuesday.
All six of the victims walked out, some with the assistance of rescuers, and most were immediately put onto gurneys for transportation to an area hospital - one of them taken by helicopter. A seventh victim, who didn't have much strength because of previous medical problems, was expected to be taken from the building, said Kansas City Fire Chief Smokey Dyer, who was coordinating the rescue effort. |
