The M-ATV, or MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle
The U.S. military has begun deploying a new generation of relatively light-weight all-terrain armored vehicles to Afghanistan, which have enough armor to protect troops from deadly roadside bombs but are not too heavy for the country's relatively undeveloped road network.
This report is about the latest effort to reduce the record and rising casualty levels among U.S. troops in Afghanistan, as President Barack Obama considers sending tens of thousands more troops into harm's way. But it comes with a consumer advisory label: Warning, the following story unavoidably contains military acronyms and technical terminology.
The story really begins in Iraq several years ago, when insurgents first began using home-made roadside bombs against the High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or Humvee,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the main vehicle the troops were using.
The soldiers and marines quickly realized the light-weight Humvees did not have enough protection against the bombs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so they added some armor. That helped but not enough, and at the same time the bombs got bigger. So, the military created a new armored vehicle, a sort of cross between a Humvee and a tank, and called it the MRAP, the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protect vehicle. Officials say the vehicles have saved hundreds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], maybe thousands, of lives along Iraq's well-developed road network.
"MRAPs are lifesavers," says Assistant Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter. But,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he explains, the MRAPs did not work so well in Afghanistan. "The terrain in Afghanistan is different from Iraq, it's more uneven, the roads are less easy to traverse. And for that reason, we've had to create an all-terrain version of the MRAP,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said.
The challenge for designers was to create a vehicle with the protection provided by an MRAP but about 25 per cent lighter. And so, an acronym within an acronym was born -- the M-ATV, or MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle.
"This vehicle here will similarly be a lifesaver in Afghanistan," he added.
And the U.S. military needs a 'lifesaver' in Afghanistan. American casualties have jumped from fewer than 40 per month until June of this year, to 70 or more every month since then. Officials say like in Iraq, the main killers are roadside bombs.
Standing outside the Pentagon Monday in front of one of the hulking desert sand colored new vehicles designed to protect against those bombs, Assistant Secretary Carter extolled the M-ATV's virtues.
"It has a lot more survivability than other vehicles that are in Afghanistan right now, a great deal more. Believe it or not, it's very easy to drive. So it's a wonderful vehicle and it's going to be a lifesaver,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said.
Although smaller than the MRAP, the M-ATV is still an imposing vehicle,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], half-again as tall as the average person and weighing in at 18 metric tons.
They look like an extra-large version of the World War Two jeep, but enclosed, with small blast-proof windows, a protected machine gun position on top and a variety of high-tech gear inside and out. The U.S. military is buying more than 6,000 of the M-ATVs, at a cost of nearly a million and a half dollars each, including all their equipment, spare parts and transportation to Afghanistan. U.S. officials say other countries with troops in Afghanistan want to buy some of the vehicles, too.
The MRAP and M-ATV project director, Marine Corps Brigadier General Michael Brogan, says the new vehicles will protect troops on Afghanistan's roads, without destroying the roads or getting stuck on them. He says it will also enable the troops to be less predictable in their movements, and get away from areas where the bombs are planted.
"This is really designed to get us off the road network,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to be able to go cross-country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to go the places that up-armored HUMVEEs go, not be stuck to the road network, which makes us predictable," he said.
General Brogan says because of some technical innovations M-ATVs are not nearly as cumbersome as MRAPs, but rather are almost as maneuverable as the much lighter and more lightly armored Humvees, even in the sands of Afghanistan.
"The tires are larger than you would find on a HUMVEE, so the ground pressure, which is really what matters, isn't all that much different from an up-armored HUMVEE,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Brogan. "The fact that this four-wheel independent suspension, the amount of horsepower in the engine, the tractive effort that's delivered to the drive train allows the vehicle to go off road in soil and terrain characteristics similar to what an up-armored HUMVEE can carry. So this is a very capable platform,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he added.
For security reasons, officials will not say how large a bomb the M-ATVs can withstand. But they expect the arrival of hundreds, and eventually thousands, of the vehicles in Afghanistan will help reverse the trend of U.S. casualties, and will enable the troops to travel safely throughout the country.

As some 60 percent of the world's population uses a cell phone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the mobile handset is emerging as a key driver behind social change in developing countries. The UN-affiliated International Telecommunication Union commented Monday on a report that the world's mobile phone subscriptions exceeded 4.1 billion (61.1 percent) at the end of 2007.
In late 2002,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a billion handsets were owned worldwide. Since one person sometimes has more than two mobile phones in developed nations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the ratio of the population to mobile subscription was 1:111 in Europe. Internet subscription also more than doubled from 11 percent in 2002 to 23 percent in 2007.
In Africa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where few banks are available, with an increasing popularity of money remittance via mobile phones,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], subscriptions of cell-phone services rocketed 14 times to 28 percent between 2002 and 2007.
More than 100,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 new base stations are being built annually in the world. Some 90 percent of the world's population lives in an area with cellular service coverage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], except the Antarctic.

Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, leave the Guildhall in Windsor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], England,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], after their civil wedding ceremony
Britain's Prince Charles and his long-time love,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Camilla Parker Bowles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], have married in a private civil ceremony in the town of Windsor, just outside London.
The prince, wearing black formal attire,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Mrs. Parker Bowles, in an oyster silk coat and matching chiffon dress,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], smiled and waved to a crowd of well-wishers as they walked together into the Windsor Guildhall for the brief ceremony. The bride also wore a matching straw and lace hat with feathers.
Only about 30 guests - among them Charles' sons Prince William and Prince Harry - attended the wedding. Thousands of people standing outside the 17th-century Guildhall loudly cheered the two young princes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whose mother,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Princess Diana,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], died in a car crash nearly eight years ago.
Charles' parents, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, did not attend the wedding, but will join a wedding blessing service,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, at St. George's Chapel in the royal family's Windsor Castle. Prime Minister Tony Blair and 800 of the newlyweds' friends and family also will be at the castle.
The marriage is the second for both Charles and Mrs. Parker Bowles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who were lovers for more than 30 years, including the time they both were married to others.
Mrs. Parker Bowles will be known in the future as the Duchess of Cornwall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and under current British law she would become queen if and when Prince Charles succeeds his mother on the British throne.

President Bush, left,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], meets with a member of a Marine combat patrol unit at Al-Asad Airbase in Anbar province,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Iraq,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Monday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 03 Sept. 2007 President Bush and his Secretaries of State and Defense are on a surprise visit to Iraq's western al-Anbar Province for meetings with senior Iraqi leaders, who made a rare trip to the region to see them. The president and his team will also meet with senior U.S. officials, and local tribal leaders who have switched their allegiance from al-Qaida to the coalition. VOA's Al Pessin reports from the remote al-Asad Air Base.
The president made an unannounced detour to Iraq while on his way to Australia for regional meetings, bringing Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice with him. Air Force One touched down at this sprawling, dusty air base, in a province that has gone from being the most violent and anti-government part of Iraq to one of the country's main security success stories.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates and senior military officers are also attending the meeting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell says the meetings bring together the president's "war council" with top Iraqi leaders that will play a key role in decisions the president must make about the future of U.S. policy toward Iraq,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including troop levels.
Morrell says this may be the president's last chance to meet with the top U.S. commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker, before they give highly-anticipated testimony to the Congress next week, shortly after the president returns from Australia.
Their reports will assess the surge of U.S. forces,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the new counter-terrorism strategy and the performance of Iraqi leaders and their army and police forces in forging national reconciliation and contributing to security.
A senior official traveling with Secretary Gates says these meetings will be "instrumental" in the decision-making process,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Many members of congress are calling for the start of a U.S. troop withdrawal this year, but combat commanders have said that would be too soon. But the commanders acknowledge that the surge forces will begin to return home next April, at the latest, and it would be difficult for the U.S. military to replace them.
U.S. officials say Iraqi politicians have just a few months to forge some sort of national reconciliation in the environment of enhanced security the surge has provided.
President Bush and his team are also meeting with local Sunni tribal leaders,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whose decision earlier this year to reject al-Qaida and work with U.S. and Iraqi forces has dramatically improved security in al-Anbar.
But the senior official traveling with Secretary Gates calls the change "unexpected" and "almost serendipitous." The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, says al-Qaida alienated local people with the extent of its violence and its extremist views, and the tribal leaders came to see their future as better tied to the government in Baghdad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even though it is mostly Shiite.
But he says the tribal leaders might not have chosen to work with the government if the United States had not demonstrated its commitment to restoring order in Iraq. The official says Secretary Gates wants to do what he can to help solidify that relationship through this visit, and by increasing U.S. and Iraqi aid to al-Anbar.
The meetings involving President Bush and Secretaries Rice and Gates also include the commander of all U.S. forces in the Middle East, Admiral William Fallon, and the top U.S. military officer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], General Peter Pace. It is exceptional for so many senior U.S. civilian and military officials converge anywhere in the world for meetings with foreign leaders. But with so much attention focused on next week's progress reports, the senior official says there was no better way to assess the situation than to meet in person with the Iraqi officials and look the U.S. commanders "in the eye."

Korean is becoming a popular language in Malaysia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Universiti Teknologi MARA's main campus in Shah Alam,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], about 25 km from Kuala Lumpur,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has several students who are eager to learn Korean. They were handpicked by the Malaysian government for scholarships to learn Korean in preparation for the study of engineering at partner universities in Korea. The Korean classes at the university are top-notch, covering everything from grammar to pronunciation.
"The Korean Program actually started in Malaysia in 1985,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad started the Look East Policy, so we've had it for many years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but this is UiTM's 10th year to host the program,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," a student said.
Having followed an intensive schedule of 20 hours a week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some of the students have already caught the knack of it. Once a week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they test their language skills in role play.
Teams of four come up with their own scripts to put on plays. Sometimes their pronunciation and their acting skills draw laughter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but at other times they draw applause and envy.
"The Korean Wave is really catching on in Malaysia thanks to TV programs and pop songs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," a Korean language instructor at the university said. "After coming across such songs or dramas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], many people become interested in learning Korean. I hear Korean language programs are being installed at major universities all over Malaysia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and many private language academies are also offering classes."

The average Korean household spent W38,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],188 (US$1=W922) per month on congratulations and condolences last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the National Statistics Office said Monday. Annually, the average household paid out W456,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],256 at events like weddings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], graduations, and funerals.
The total amount of money that was exchanged for congratulations and condolences in 15,887,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 households nationwide reached W7.28 trillion. That's 0.9 percent of Korea's GDP,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or 6.5 percent of the total household consumption expenditure.
Statistics showed urban households with more than two members spent an average of W42,345 per month for congratulations and condolences,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], exceeding W40,000 for the first time in nine years since the financial crisis of 1997.
That means the average household spend 1.6 percent of its monthly expenditure of W2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],650,000 on congratulations and condolences.
Song Tae-jung, an economist at the LG Economic Research Institute,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said, "Spending for congratulations and condolences increased gradually from W30,000 to W50,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 to W100,000,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even though household income hasn't increased. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], from a macroeconomic view, the money is transferred between households so its impact on consumption is weak."

With much of North Korea's foreign aid remaining suspended because of the nuclear standoff that began in late 2002,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the country is desperately in need of food supplies.
Following a recent visit to the North, members of Caritas International,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Catholic relief organization,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], found daily food rations reduced to just 250 grams of rice. That's not even half the average requirement.
A Catholic relief organization recently visited North Korea,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and reported that malnutrition and hunger continue to plague the already poverty-stricken country.
While North Koreans plant rice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Caritas International says the food shortage has led to a rations cut and that the North is still struggling to feed its people.
"The food situation is still fragile and basically everybody is trying to make ends meet, trying to find food. The rations have been reduced from 300 grams per person per day to now 250 grams. And that, of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is less than 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 calories,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and you cannot live on that."
The majority of North Korea's 22,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].5 million population must rely heavily on international food assistance because of a reported collapse in Pyongyang��s state-run farming industry in the mid-1990s after years of mismanagement and the loss of Soviet subsidies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Video clippings from the relief confederation's visit to the North also show thousands of workers rebuilding Ryongchon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where thousands of homes were destroyed after the deadly rail blast in April.
Many children and adults are still in hospitals recovering from the horrific explosion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Caritas is one of many global organizations that's trying to reach the hungry and sick, and has said it is essential to the aid effort that the nuclear dispute be resolved in order to gain better access to North Korea.

Sun sets at the snow covered field near Suzhou,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], China,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 04 Feb 2008
Roads, railways and air traffic are slowly returning to normal in China, where the worst snowstorms in 50 years have stranded millions of travelers trying to get home for this week's Lunar New Year holiday. As VOA's Stephanie Ho reports from Beijing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the severe weather also affected the shipment of fresh vegetables throughout the country.
China's main north-south freeway reopened Monday after weeks of snow and ice storms cut off transport and seriously disrupted supplies of food and fuel during the country's peak holiday season.
Authorities are still warning drivers about possible traffic jams on the Zhuhai-Beijing freeway. They say they need to leave lanes open for emergency vehicles and trucks carrying supplies.
More than 10,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 vehicles had been backed up along a 75-kilometer-long section of the road,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while soldiers worked to remove ice.
Chinese authorities are forecasting more snow and cold temperatures in the coming days. On China Central Television,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], broadcast nationwide, the weather announcer repeated the government's warning to travelers not to go out on the roads unless absolutely necessary.
She also announced that Chinese airlines have begun flying several additional daily flights from the snow-hit regions to other parts of the country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where transportation may be easier. This way travelers may still be able to return home in time for the Lunar New Year holiday, which starts Wednesday evening.

At the Jian supermarket in Beijing, business was brisk as people completed their last minute Lunar New Year shopping.
Like most Beijing residents,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one of the women working to repackage fresh vegetables in the supermarket says the storms farther south have not had a noticeable impact on the Chinese capital. Despite the increased demand for fruits and vegetables around the Lunar New Year, Beijing planned in advance and so has what it needs.
She points out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though, that the snows have killed many crops in the south. One solution has been to ship more fruits and vegetables from the north to the south, rather than the usual south to north. She says, for example,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that means her relatives in Hunan are paying much higher prices for northern cabbage, a Beijing winter mainstay.

Ahmed Ali al-Kateb and Abbas Mohammad Hasan al- Khafaji are effectively stateless,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Mr. al-Kateb is a 28-year-old Palestinian who was born in Kuwait, where he spent most of his life. He arrived in Australia in December 2000. When his application for asylum was rejected,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he asked to be sent to either Kuwait or Gaza. The Australian government has been unable to get him accepted in either place.
Mr. al Khafaji is an Iraqi who fled with his family to Syria in 1980. He was detained when he arrived in Australia in January 2000. When his asylum request was turned down, he asked to be repatriated to Syria,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which refused to accept him.
After Friday's ruling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his lawyer, Jeremy Moore,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], says Australia should be ashamed of the way Mr. al Khafaji has been treated. "The government's made a mistake. This man should never have been locked up for the period that he was locked up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said. "He should've been granted refugee status. He's entitled to that and he's entitled to live in Australia as a refugee."
Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone welcomed the court ruling and denies that asylum seekers were treated unfairly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The Australian government accepts more than 10,000 people a year after they have applied for and received refugee status overseas. In what it says is an effort to stop human trafficking and illegal immigration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the government detains all asylum seekers who enter the country without proper documentation. They can be held for three or four years as their asylum applications are processed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and appeals are heard.
That uncompromising approach has drawn international criticism from human rights groups,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
