Eight Chinese, gunman killed in Philippines hostage drama
A sacked police officer seized a tourist bus and opened fire at his hostages, killing eight of them, before he was shot dead by police ending an over 10-hour-long hostage drama in a seaside park in Manila city Monday. Eight of the dead were Chinese passengers held for more than 10 hours inside the air-conditioned bus in a seaside park in Manila city, the Philippine government said. The hostage-taker, dismissed police officer Rolando Del Rosario Mendoza, was also killed in an exchange of gunfire with the police assault team, authorities said. There were 15 Chinese tourists and a Filipino driver being held in the bus when the violence erupted. The driver escaped from the bus when Mendoza began to open fire in an angry outburst after seeing his brother, who was helping in the negotiations, dragged away by police. Seven Chinese hostages survived the assault but suffered various injuries. One woman cried hysterically as she was helped out of the vehicle, whose glass windows were shattered. Philippine President Benigno Aquino III expressed sorrow over the tragic ending and ordered a probe into the standoff, which began more than 10 hours earlier. “With the rest of the Filipino people, I wish to offer our deepest condolences to the families of the victims whose lives were lost in the hostage situation,” he said. “I have directed the fullest cooperation with the Hong Kong authorities on the part of our officials,” he added. Armed with an M16 assault rifle, Mendoza seized the bus and demanded that authorities reconsider his dismissal from the force in February 2009 due to extortion and harassment. He warned authorities of violence if his demand was not met. There were 25 people inside the bus when it was seized, including 20 Chinese tourists, a travel guide from Hong Kong and four Filipinos. Six Chinese tourists, including three children, and three Filipinos were subsequently freed unharmed as “gifts” to negotiators, who were optimistic of a peaceful resolution. Before Mendoza opened fire, a 44-year-old Chinese woman told DZXL radio station that she and her 15-year-old daughter were among the hostages. “We are okay but we are afraid,” she said. It could not be determined if the mother and daughter were among the fatalities or survivors. The hostage-taking played out on live national television, giving Mendoza a chance to see most of the movements of the police from inside the tourist bus. Hong Kong leader Donald Tsang criticised the Philippines for its handling of the crisis and said he was “deeply saddened” by the deadly outcome. “This is a major tragedy … that Hong Kong residents trying to make a pleasure trip to Manila should end up with death and casualties,” he said. “This is very tragic. That way it is handled, particularly the outcome, I find it very disappointing.” The Hong Kong government issued a travel alert, urging all residents to avoid travel to the Philippines. In March 2007, a similar hostage-taking occurred when a disgruntled civil engineer armed with a grenade took over a bus with 30 children and teachers near the Manila City Hall. All hostages were freed unharmed after a 10-hour standoff. The suspect, owner of a day-care centre where the children were pupils, served jail time for the hostage-taking but is now free.

New Mexico Education Demos After Eight Killed
Police claim that "radical groups" contributed to the violence, saying what happened in Oaxaca state "was practically an ambush". Protesters have launched rockets at riot police in Mexico, amid new demonstrations against education reforms that left eight people dead on Sunday. Another 100 people were injured when police tried to stop a highway from being blocked in the southern Oaxaca state at the weekend. Teachers and their supporters took to the streets again on Monday, carrying a makeshift coffin, amid allegations of police repression. Speaking on local radio, federal police chief Enrique Galindo attributed the violence to "radical groups", saying that few teachers had been involved. Mr Galindo said about 2,000 protesters had been on the streets on Sunday, some of them carrying gasoline bombs and powerful fireworks. He ordered armed officers to move in when gunshots had been confirmed. "It was a radical change of scene," Mr Galindo said. "It was practically an ambush." Speaking at a news conference, Mr Galindo showed pictures of a police helicopter that had been hit by bullets. He also said three federal police officers were being held in Nochixtlan. State prosecutor Joaquin Carrillo said seven civilians - none of them teachers – had died of bullet wounds on Sunday.
Gambhir’s unbeaten ton helps India beat Kiwis by eight wickets
Stand-in cricket captain Gautam Gambhir struck a flawless unbeaten century as India beat New Zealand by eight wickets in the second One-day International here Wednesday to go two-up in the five-match series. Chasing a target of 259, Gambhir remained unbeaten on 138 from 116 balls, as India achieved the target in 43 overs. Gambhir’s decision to bowl first also proved right as S. Sreesanth claimed four wickets to restrict New Zealand to 258 for eight in 50 overs at the Swai Mansingh Stadium. While chasing, Gambhir and Murali Vijay (33) dominated with their 87-run opening partnership, that set the tone. With the in-form Virat Kohli (64), Gambhir was also involved in 116-run stand for the second wicket that took the match beyond New Zealand’s reach. Earlier, while batting, New Zealand, who were three wickets down for 96 runs, revived their innings through opener Martin Guptill (70) and Scott Styris (59) to put up a respectable total. New Zealand lost their first wicket with just 14 runs on the board when Sreesanth had Jamie How caught behind. The Indian pace trio — Sreesanth (4-47), Ashish Nehra (1-45) and Munaf Patel (1-34) — bowled a disciplined line, not allowing Guptill and Kane Williamson to score freely. New Zealand were 62 for the loss of one wicket in 15 overs, before Williamson, who made 29 off 46 balls, found his stumps rattled by a typical Munaf delivery that nipped back and went through the gate. Ross Taylor (15) failed to cash in on the dropped chance by R. Ashiwn and could add only 32 runs with Guptill, before Yusuf Pathan removed him through his first ball, caught by Kohli at mid-wicket. Guptill, who struck three fours and a six in his 102-ball stay, and Styris then dropped anchor to add 65 runs. Styris hit five fours and a six in 56 balls. Ashiwn dismissed Guptill and India bowled well in the slog overs to put skids on New Zealand scoring. Sreesanth got the wickets of Jamie How, Styris, Daniel Vettori (31) and Kyle Mills.
