42248 IRAQ: 6TH ANNIVERSARY OF 1ST IRAQI MISSILE ATTACK ON TEL AVIV CELEBRATED 1/19/97 EF97/0056 16:17:54 00:01:43 APTV VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) English/Nat
Thousands of Iraqis rallied in Baghdad on Saturday to celebrate the 6th anniversary of the first Iraqi missile attack on Tel Aviv in 1991.
It's called "Science Day" when people turn out to show their loyalty to President Saddam Hussein who ordered the strikes during the second Gulf War.
Thousands of people rallied in the centre of Baghdad, in the Al-Mosstansirya-seq quarter, to mark the anniversary of the 1991 missile attack on Israel.
Carrying portraits of Saddam and banners swearing their allegiance - Iraqis honoured their president for ordering the attacks on Tel Aviv.
It's an annual event - schools and government offices also carry out their own forms of celebration.
At the martyr monument people showed the "V" for victory sign and remembered the night of 18th January, 1991, when Iraq released 39 missiles over Tel Aviv, the Occupied Territories and the Allied Forces in the desert.
"Science Day" also pays tribute to the Iraqi scientists who made the long-range missiles.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"They call this science day because these Iraqi rocket hits on Tel Aviv in 1991
were with rockets made by Iraqi scientists, not supported by other scientists from all over the world".

Officially at least, Iraqis see the day as one of victory.
Much of the weaponry and scientific installations were destroyed during the Gulf War and its aftermath.

A huge crowd of opposition supporters greeted the inauguration of Bulgaria's new president Sunday, as protests continue against the country's socialist government.
Petar Stoyanov became Bulgaria's second democratically elected head of state in a brief ceremony inside Parliament but then joined an opposition rally outside the cathedral.
Bulgaria's capital Sofia has been rocked by almost two weeks of protest rallies calling for new elections.
An estimated forty thousand people filled the square in front of Sofia's Saint Alexander Nevski cathedral to welcome the new president.
Petar Stoyanov overwhelmingly won last November's elections as the candidate of the anti-Socialist opposition front.
On Sunday he - and his deputy Todor Kavaldziev - were sworn in front of a Parliament driven by political conflict.
For the past 13 days - tens of thousands of protesters have rallied in Sofia and other cities across the country demanding a change of government.
But opposition deputies suspended their boycott of the legislature for the occasion and sat together with members of the Socialist Party, former Communists, whom they want to oust from power.
The Socialists have led five of seven governments in Bulgaria since 1989 and been widely blamed for Bulgaria's economic misery - annual inflation is running at over 300 percent.
Stoyanov will have a tough task ahead if he is to turn the country around - but he has something the government does not - popular support.

42252 USA: CHICAGO: STEVE FOSSETT EXPECTED TO LAND IN INDIA OR BANGLADESH 1/19/97 EF97/0057 19:42:59 - 20:08:18 00:01:12 CLTV No Access Chicago VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) English/Nat
An American millionaire's dream of being the first balloonist to circumnavigate the globe looks set to be thwarted.
Steve Fossett is expected to land either in India or Bangladesh around 0700 GMT Monday.
The trip that began in St. Louis six days ago was cut short due to fuel shortage.
The balloonist may not have achieved his ambition but he has made the record books by flying twice as far as anyone else in a balloon.
The daring balloon attempt by a 52-year-old securities trader looks set to finish in failure Monday despite having set new records for distance and duration.
Steve Fossett's dream of being the first balloonist to travel around the world non-stop was thwarted after six days due to short supplies of fuel.
Fossett - who lifted off in his silver-coloured Solo Spirit balloon from Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Monday night - was forced to use up fuel stocks after he was initially refused permission to cross Libyan airspace.
It is anticipated that Fossett will land along the east coast of India, south of Calcutta.
Floating at 20,000 feet above India on Sunday, Fossett and his
supporters back in the Midwest plotted a landing before he began
passing over the rugged mountains of Southeast Asia or the Pacific
Ocean.
SOUNDBITE:
" If he's thinking proper, he'll realise that he's gonna drift towards up into the Himalayas, and he'll want to try to land as soon as he can just before or just after sunrise before he gets any closer to the Himalayan mountains."
SUPERCAPTION: Bo Kemper Member of support team
Fossett already has far eclipsed his own distance ballooning record, 5,435 miles (8,746 kilometres) on a 1995 flight from Seoul, Korea, to
Canada.
SOUNDBITE:
"You have to remember this has never been done. Steve's just gone half way around the world. The other two teams that have ever tried this went at the most 4-hundred miles. Steve's gone over 7-thousand miles. He's been travelling up to five miles above the earth. I mean this is an unbelievable physical feat. Technologically it shows that we can do it. And I think the thing that people have to remember is that we've had tremendous competition from the Swiss and the English. An American has broken the record and will probably have his name on two of the three most prestigious titles in aviation."
SUPERCAPTION: Bo Kemper, Member of the support team
The American planned to stay aloft until early Monday so he'd
beat not only a world distance record for ballooning but
also the record for longest time spent in the air.
By noon Saturday, Fossett had travelled 9,600 miles (15,500
km) .
Inside the cabin, temperatures ranged from zero degrees to
10 degrees F (-18 C to -12 C); outside it was 30 to 50 F
below (-35 to -45 C).
Fossett's cabin heaters don't operate in the oxygen-starved altitudes above 24,000 feet (7,315 m), and he is expected to capitalise on the strong winds above that great height all day.
But at night, Fossett planned to drop to about 18,000 feet (5,500 m) in order to get the heaters working again.
The physical strain on Fossett was also cited as a reason
to abort the mission.
The millionaire failed his first round-the-world attempt one year
ago.
His current adventure was the third transglobal attempt this year.
British businessman Richard Branson's Global Challenger balloon was forced down by equipment problems in the North African desert January 8 after lifting off from Marrakech two days earlier.
Swiss psychiatrist Dr. Bertrand Piccard and his crew ditched in the Mediterranean four days later after kerosene fumes filled their cockpit.
The American stockbroker should take solace on his return to earth that although he did not fulfil his dream, the record breaking balloon flight has made him master of the sky.

Thousands of opposition supporters gathered on Sunday in Belgrade as their protests continued into their 61st successive day,
As police again blocked streets around the main city square, many brought their dogs along for the walk, mocking police containment of the demonstrations to pedestrian zones.
Opposition leader Vuk Draskovic expressed concern that as the pressure on Milosevic increases, his next move may be to provoke bloodshed.
It was the dogs day out in Serbia Sunday, as demonstrators brought canine pets to the 61st consecutive day of rallying.
10 thousand protesters gathered in the centre of Belgrade, some clutching stuffed animals, doing their best to comply with the protest organisers' request that the theme of the day's protest be dogs.
The protest mocked the police containment of the demonstrators in a pedestrian zone, the slogan for the day: 'If we can't walk, let's walk our dogs.'
As opposition leader Zoran Djindjic was securing the support of German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel in Bonn, at the rally his colleague Vuk Draskovic expressed concern over the next possible move by an increasingly desperate Milosevic.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I am very afraid that Mr Milosevic has decided to solve the problem of annulling election results of the people of Serbia by producing a bigger and the biggest problem. By producing bloodshed in Kosovo."

At the second day of Paris's premiere haute couture fashion event Sunday - it was Olivier Lapidus and Torrente's turn to show off their wares.
The feature of Lapidus's show was his choice of "bio-fibres" - fabrics extracted from vegetables, fruits and flowers.
Over the next week some of the world's top designers will exhibit at the event organised by the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne.
When Olivier Lapidus's designs took centre stage at the spring/summer haute couture fashion event in Paris Sunday - all talk was about his choice in fabrics.
The designer had chosen to work with "bio-fibres" - extracted from vegetables, fruits and flowers.
Early in the show a model appeared on the catwalk dressed in a shirt with real flowers.
37 year old Olivier Lapidus, son of Ted, has proven to be experimental in the past.
The youngest of the French high fashion designers - last July Lapidus unveiled a solar energy garment.
The Lapidus motto - research enables industry to advance and industry helps fashion to progress.
Lapidus would like to turn the European agricultural surplus into a range of textiles.
One of the most beautiful of the Lapidus creations was the red evening dress modelled later in the show.
This gown was made with silk, grape vine and blackcurrant.
And then came the wedding gown - traditionally a designer's show stopper.
The gown was modelled by Olivier Lapidus's fiancee.
The designer joined her on the catwalk to receive his applause - she will wear the bridal gown at their March wedding.
Backstage there was congratulations for the innovative Lapidus collection.
The young designer explained his philosophy on haute couture.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Haute Couture for me is a laboratory. It is not only the past, it is not only the history, the museum if you want, it is not only naked women with you know many embroideries. Haute couture has to be alive. Haute couture has to bring something to people and this is why I try to make new things in haute couture. And this time those fibres from roses from you know flowers, fruit, vegetable, whatever - they are going to give maybe 300 new fibres in the normal textile field."
SUPER-CAPTION: Olivier Lapidus, French designer.
The theme of the Torrente spring summer haute couture collection was "distant travels, to the southern seas, to Polynesia."
The philosophy behind these designs - fashion which is simple, pure and rhythmic.
The models showed off body hugging cocktail dresses and suits with slim fitted coats and straight cut double breasted jackets.
Madame Rose Torrente-Mett also showed off her taste for extreme sophistication through her range of evening gowns.
As tradition requires - she also joined the models on the catwalk after revealing her bridal gown.

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has arrived in Hebron to the cheers of more than 60- thousand jubilant Palestinians.
They are celebrating the Palestinian take-over of most of the city after three decades of Israeli occupation.
Arafat said he hoped the agreement on Hebron would be a step towards bringing a lasting peace to the rest of the Middle East - including Syria and Lebanon.
Before leaving for Hebron - in a triumphant return to the city he last saw more than 30 years ago - Yasser Arafat inspected a guard of honour in Ramallah.
His helicopter then whisked him off to the city whose future he's spent so many months negotiating.
He landed just outside the former Israeli military headquarters where Palestinian activists were jailed during Israeli rule. The building will now serve as the Palestinian police H.Q..
As he was driven from the landing pad to the building, Arafat threw kisses to the crowd which was chanting "Long live Palestine" and "Long live Arafat."
He told the crowd of more than 60-thousand people that Hebron is a "liberated city" but he said Palestinians don't want confrontation with the Jewish settlers - they want peace.
He also said peace must now spread to the rest of the Middle East.
SOUNDBITE:
"But (I call for) a just and comprehensive peace not only in Egypt, and Jordan and Palestine but also in Syria and Lebanon so that peace is just and comprehensive and lasting in the whole of the Middle East."

As the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat arrived in Hebron for the first time in nearly three decades, Jewish settlers are still angry that the city has been handed back to the Palestinians.
Arafat's government took control of 80 percent of Hebron on Friday after months of negotiations with the hard-line government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
As thousands of Palestinians gave their leader Yasser Arafat a hero's welcome into Hebron, the mood in the Jewish sector was much more sombre.
The people of H2 - as the 20 percent of Hebron remaining under Israeli control will be known - were not celebrating.
This area in the heart of the city is home to about 500 Jewish settlers and about 15-thousand Palestinians and is heavily guarded by Israeli police.
The settlers say they will not give up their fight for Hebron which is considered holy to both Jews and Muslims.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The Jewish community now has to survive, but after the survival you'll see the revival, it will not be only survival"
SUPER CAPTION: Benny Elon, Member of Knesset for right-wing Moledet party
Despite Arafat saying he did not want confrontation with the Jewish settlers - attitudes remained unchanged and Arafat's visit was not welcomed.
A settlers' spokesman said it was a desecration to allow their "arch enemy" Arafat into the city.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The Israeli government that we elected, allowed our arch enemy to come into Hebron. The man who's hands are soaked with the blood of so many Jewish men, women and children is despicable. We feel that this is a desecration of the sanctity of the second holiest city of the Jewish people in the land of Israel."
SUPER CAPTION: David Wilder, Hebron Settlers' spokesperson
The potential difficulties of life under the new regime are still yet to be fully realised.
The dividing line between H1 - the Palestinian controlled part of Hebron and H2 - the Israeli controlled sector - has been kept deliberately vague.
Israeli army commanders said the vagueness was intentional - to
avoid cutting the town in two and to permit free movement.
But new checkpoints have sprung up on either side and there are fears a new "Berlin" may have been created - a city divided by imaginary lines and centuries old hatreds.

42258 SOUTH AFRICA: ONE OF WORLD'S HIGHEST RATES OF RAPE 1/19/97 EF97/0056 16:08:47 00:03:09 ALL APTV EXCEPT SHOT 1 = SABC Please Note: legal restrictions may apply to footage of rape victims who are minors. VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) English/Nat
South Africa has one of the highest rates of rape in the world. It is estimated that a woman is raped every 34 seconds.
And police believe many more cases go unreported.
Many believe crime and violence are getting out of control. They are calling for the government to crack down on violent crimes and bring back the death penalty for rapists.
It's a crime that happens every day in South Africa.
Only a few rare cases, like the recent plight of four Johannesburg teenagers raped in their homes during two separate attacks in two weeks, hit the headlines nation-wide.
Groups of armed men broke into the victims' homes and tied up family members before robbing the houses and raping four girls aged from thirteen to twenty-four.
Eight suspects allegedly involved in the attacks appeared in court last week and were denied bail.
SOUNDBITE:
"He tied us all in the bedroom. Like he told us to shut up. He doesn't want our lives, he just wants money. And then he said that I must get up so I got up. He took me to the bathroom and he raped me. And he just left me there."
SUPERCAPTION: Fourteen-year-old rape victim
South Africa's Human Rights Commission last week revealed that over 31-thousand rapes were reported to police during the first half of last year.
But the figure gives only a partial idea of the tragedy - police believe only one in thirty- five cases of rape are reported.
For those who have suffered this crime, or who have to deal with family members victims of rape, pain and anger become a daily reality. But many have decided to fight back.
SOUNDBITE:
''I would like to send a message to all rapists that your days are numbered. That you have messed with the wrong people. And that we can fight back. This is it. This is it."
SUPERCAPTION: Jane, Mother of teenage rape victim
The families of the recent Johannesburg rape victims organised a public meeting calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty, abolished in 1995 after the A-N-C won the country's first democratic elections.
They launched a campaign named "Camelot" - Campaign Against Murderous Empowered Laws of Treason - calling on citizens to press for changes in legislation to crack down on rapists and child abusers.
They want to see men accused of rape being denied bail, and those convicted, being surgically castrated within 24-hours of sentencing.
Their pleas are addressed to South Africa's Justice Minister, who is spearheading the move towards the creation of special "rape courts".
These courts will help magistrates and prosecutors deal more efficiently with the rape cases when they are separated from the general case roll.
Magistrates will be required to ensure unfair cross-examination of rape victims is not carried out and that they are handled with compassion.
New legislation to get tough on rapists is to be presented to South Africa's parliament in the first half of this year.
SOUNDBITE:
"And our courts must send a signal to society that we are not prepared to tolerate this kind of crime. And therefore heavy sentences will have to be imposed."
SUPERCAPTION: Dullah Omar, Justice Minister
Being security conscious has become a way of life for women in South Africa. Those who can afford weapons learn how to use them. Shooting ranges around the country have many women members, and most offer shooting instructions for women.
Self-defence seminars and classes are also popular. During these sessions women are taught how to react when being attacked.
And how not to think like a victim, but to adopt a calm attitude during a violent attack.
Women feel threatened by the ever increasing violent crimes.
Locking doors, checking where and when you walk or whether you're being followed is an everyday reality for women living in South Africa.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
''It is not the way I want to live. I want to be free and have freedom of movement, go wherever I want to go at any time of the day. Not thinking of someone who is following me or thinking of my safety."

Groups like People Opposing Woman Abuse believe the reasons for the country's rampant rape crimes cannot be attributed to a single factor.
They're pushing the government to set up an intensive education campaign to teach girls from an early age what their rights as women are.
SOUNDBITE:
"South Africa has a very high general rate of violence and crime. And I think that contributes towards the situation. I think it also stems from the patriarchal society we live in."

A senior U-N Envoy has added her voice to the chorus of criticism facing the Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic.
Elizabeth Rehn, the organisations Human Rights Envoy in the former Yugoslavia urged the President to acknowledge the election triumphs of opposition parties.
She announced that her delegation fully supported the OSCE report on the November 17 election result, which recognised the opposition's victory.
Elizabeth Rehn's comments underline the growing international pressure on President Milosevic to accept the result of November's poll.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The whole system of elections must be renewed."
SUPER CAPTION: Elizabeth Rehn, U-N Human Rights Envoy
The basis of the international disquiet is a report from a delegation of OSCE (Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe) members, led by the former Spanish Premier Felipe Gonzalez.
They ruled that the Serbian opposition had won local elections in 14 big cities and towns throughout the country.
SOUNDBITE: (English)

SUPER CAPTION: Elizabeth Rehn, U-N Human Rights Envoy
The OSCE delegation had originally been invited to look at the results by the Serbian President himself, but Milosevic has shown little sign of accepting the report's findings.
The government's refusal to act triggered mass protests across the republic which have been going on for nine weeks.
Rehn's comments came as she held talks with the Yugoslav Foreign minister Milan Milutinovic and Serbia's opposition leaders, but she did not meet the Serbian president.
She later denied reports that Milutinovic had claimed student protesters were being paid to demonstrate

About five hundred Sunni Muslim demonstrators set fire to an Iranian Cultural Centre in the Pakistani city of Lahore, Sunday, following the death of an Islamic leader in the city the day before.
The leader of a prominent Sunni group was among 25 people killed when a bomb in a motorcycle exploded outside a courthouse.
Militant Sunnis have blamed Iran - which is predominantly Shi'ite - for the bomb attack and demanded the government sever its links with Tehran.
There was still anger on the streets of Lahore as fire fighters put out the blaze which had destroyed the Iranian Cultural Centre.
A few demonstrators - a fraction of the number which had earlier attacked the building - threw pieces of debris at the authorities tackling the fire.
Also gutted in the blaze was the office of Pakistan's Senate Leader - Wasim Sajjad - which was next door.
The mob was acting in revenge for the killing of 25 people - including Zia-ur Rehman, a leader of a Sunni Muslim group called the Guardians of the Friends of the Prophet.
They died when a motorcycle bomb exploded outside a court in the city.
Eight thousand people attended Rehman's funeral which was held in his hometown of Jhang, about 200 kilometres (125 mile) southwest of Lahore.
Rehman and another leader - Azim Tariq - were at the Lahore Sessions Court for their trial on murder charges - Tariq was seriously wounded.
Both the men Tariq and Rehman were candidates in next month's general elections, but after the bombing the authorities decided to postpone elections in Rehman's central Punjab constituency.
No-one has claimed responsibility for the bombing but the Guardians are blaming Pakistan's Shi'ite minority - saying they are backed by Iran.
Sunni radicals have vowed to seek revenge for the bombing, a threat that has police worried about retaliatory attacks against Pakistan's minority Shiite Muslims

Astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis and space station Mir have sealed the hatches connecting the two vessels Sunday in preparation for undocking.
NASA still has to decide if the US shuttle will stay in space for an extra day to complete tests on exercise equipment for the new international space station.
The Shuttle crew had earlier experienced difficulty assembling a treadmill and lost data when a computer failed.
The crews of the Atlantis space shuttle and the Mir space stations said their good-byes Sunday.
They held a farewell party for John Blaha who's being replaced after four months in space.
Astronaut Jerry Linenger will now be staying with the Russian crew aboard Mir for 4 and a half months.
He thanked his Mission Control team-mates for getting him to the space station.
UPSOUND:
I just want to say thanks for getting me up here. You all did a great job, I appreciate it and I'll see you all in the summer."

After waving goodbye, the Russian team closed the hatch leading to
Mir in preparation for the crafts separation later Sunday.
The Atlantis astronauts then tested lights illuminating the so-called docking vestibule that bridges the two spacecraft.
After that, U-S astronaut Mike Baker slipped the Atlantis hatch into place and the Atlantis crew depressurised the vestibule.
Elsewhere in the shuttle, the crew continued tasks to prepare for Sunday night's separation and return to Earth later next week.
Inside the Spacehab module, astronaut Marsha Ivins stowed gear received from the Mir station, including food for Blaha.

42263 ALBANIA: TIRANA: PROTESTS OVER MONEY LOST IN PYRAMID SCHEMES 1/19/97 EF97/0057 19:35:50 00:03:01 APTV VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) Albanian/Nat
About 25-thousand demonstrators took to the streets of central Tirana Sunday, demanding that the government take responsibility for the money they lost in pyramid schemes.
Clashes broke out when police tried to push back protesters using batons and water canons.
Over half a million Albanians have invested in these phoney investment schemes promising sky-high interest rates. Many have forfeited all their savings.
Demonstrators, backed by the opposition parties, blame the government for their losses.
Violence broke out in Albania Sunday as twenty-five thousand demonstrators rallied in the capital Tirana and several other cities.
They are calling for the government to take responsibility for their losses following mass investments in fictitious companies.
Chants of ''down with dictatorship'' mingled with those demanding ''We want our money,'' as protesters in several cities battled police and lobbed stones at government buildings.
In Tirana riot police blocked the streets leading into Skanderbeg Square.
Attempting to push back the protesters, they beat their batons against their shields, but then charged the demonstrators - several were injured.
Plainclothes officers stopped opposition party leaders trying to address the crowd - smashing their megaphones and beating them. Several people were thrown into police vans.
Rexhep Nejdani, the deputy chief of the Socialists, suffered arm injuries.
Supporters trying to shield the opposition leaders were also clubbed by police.
A wave of unrest has swept across Albania over the past week after two pyramid schemes began to collapse.
An estimated 5-hundred-thousand of Albania's three-point-two million citizens have invested money in scams involving fictitious investment companies and charities offering double-digit interest rates.
As elsewhere in post-Communist eastern Europe, pyramid schemes have popped up in poverty-ridden Albania, offering sky-high interest rates to citizens with average monthly wages of sixty to eighty dollars.
Early investors made fortunes in the funds. But because the schemes pay the first investors with the money from later ones, they require a steady stream of new contributors.
Without that, they crumble - as in the case of two of Albania's 10 funds that failed to pay out over the past week, sparking violent demonstrations
The demonstrations against the funds have quickly turned against the government, which investors blame for allowing the get-rich-quick schemes to operate in Albania.
Myfit Muro, from the southern port of Vlaro, sold his house and has invested over 10- thousand dollars (10- million leks) in a pyramid scheme. He's lost everything and now plans to emigrate to Italy.
SOUNDBITE:
The president must say if we will get the money or not. Why did the government allow three or four people to collect all the money of the Albanians and cheat them? Where was the government and the president then? How could they operate without a licence? If I open a shop I need a licence. How could they operate without it?
The people have given the president their vote and he cheated them.

SOUNDBITE:
I used to work as a butcher in Italy. I have just come back to Albania with 36 (m) million Italian liras (24-thousand dollars), which I deposited at Gjallica (one of the two funds that went bust). I do not expect to get the money back. All the companies are collapsing.
Q: What will you do?
I will emigrate again together with my six brothers.
Q: Whom do you blame for this?
I do not know. We have remained like fish without water. All our money is now at Gjallica.
SUPERCAPTION: Astrit Dalip, victim of pyramid schemes
On Saturday, President Sali Berisha said the government would offer jobs and bank credits to the people most affected by the investment fund failures.
The government last week froze 255 (m) million dollars in assets of some of the funds.
Opposition leaders have accused some of the pyramid-scheme companies of having financed the Democrats' campaign for the May elections.

42276 PERU: ARCHBISHOP OF LIMA CARDINAL LANDAZURI'S FUNERAL 1/19/97 EF97/0057 19:51:01 - 20:37:17 - 21:00:53 00:02:35 APTV VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) Spanish/Nat
President Fujimori and other Peruvian government officials took a break from the month- old hostage crisis to spend part of Sunday saying farewell to Cardinal Landazuri - the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Lima.
The cardinal died last Thursday aged 83 after a long battle with cancer.
Mr Fujimori is still refusing to back down over the key demand made by Marxist rebels holding 73 hostages at the Japanese Embassy.
The rebels are insisting the Government release more than 300 Tupac Amaru guerrillas before beginning mediation talks.
Another hostage ventured outside the Japanese ambassador's residence in Lima Sunday.
He was identified as the Japanese embassy second secretary Akihisa Ouyigama.
His task - to take batteries out of cars parked in the compound.
One police officer outside the compound speculated that the rebels needed the batteries to power their radios.
On Saturday afternoon - two other hostages made an appearance outside the residence.
Rebels had sent them onto the roof to arrange rebel banners on the side of the building.
The Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement has accepted a government proposal for mediation by Canada's top envoy.
But there's no sign either side is ready to back down over the key issue of the status of 300 jailed guerrillas.
The rebels say it is the government's refusal to negotiate on this issue that is keeping them from the negotiating table.
President Alberto Fujimori says he'll talk about them - but won't release them.
Meanwhile, President Fujimori joined thousands of mourners at Lima's Roman Catholic Cathedral to say farewell to the city's Archbishop - Cardinal Juan Landazuri Ricketts Sunday.
The 83 year old Archbishop died three days ago after a long battle with cancer.
The funeral gave the President and other government officials an opportunity to show it is business as usual despite the month-long stand-off.
Meanwhile, police have ordered journalists from three international news agencies to abandon a rooftop next to the Japanese ambassador's house.
The reporters had been paying the owners of the private home which is within police lines.
Police say it's for security reasons, but there is talk that the order was given by the government to limit coverage of the crisis.
Since the crisis broke out on December 17 the rebels have enjoyed international publicity for their cause.

Two of Mexico's top celebrities, Lucero and Manuel Mijares, wed late Saturday in a lavish ceremony broadcast live on national television.
At least 300 guests crowded the centuries-old San Ignacio Loyola chapel for the ceremony.
Thousands of fans gathered outside for a glimpse of the happy couple, holding up traffic for hours in downtown Mexico.
Soap opera or reality?
For millions of fans across the Spanish-speaking world it was hard to tell the difference as two of Mexico's biggest artists - who have sold millions of pop records - tied the knot.
Lucero entered the chapel on the arm of her father, Antonio Hogaza.
She wore an off the shoulder organza dress, embroidered in pearls.
He wedding to Manuel Mijares married Saturday in a ceremony was estimated to have cost 14 (m) million dollars.
But they won't have to pay for all of it.
According to local press reports, television rights were sold to broadcasters for about eight (m)illion dollars.
There was traffic mayhem as thousands of people gathered at the chapel to get a closer look of the happy couple.
The ceremony was performed by Mexico's archbishop and even the Pope sent a greeting.
Guests included members of the elite of Mexican society and celebrities.
The musical portion of the event included 'Pomp and Circumstance No. 1,' as well as pieces by Verdi, Vivaldi, Mendelssohn, and Chopin, played by an orchestra directed by Carlos Esteva.
The newlyweds will take a 45-day sea cruise for their honeymoon to Japan and the Far East.

42279 SERBIA: BELGRADE: PROTESTERS BRING PETS ALONG TO DEMONSTRATION 1/19/97 EF97/0057 19:38:59 00:03:04 AGENCY COMMON VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) Eng/Serbo-Croat/Nat
The ever-imaginative protest movement in Serbia has brought out its latest weapon onto the streets of Belgrade - thousands of family pets.
On the 61st successive day of demonstrations, the protesters decided to mock the way the riot police are preventing them marching anywhere but pedestrian zones.
They were boosted by comments from a senior U-N envoy who urged President Slobodan Milosevic to acknowledge the results of the disputed November 17 poll.
It was a dog day afternoon in Belgrade Sunday, as pro-democracy supporters brought animals of all shapes and sizes along to the latest protest rally.
Barks punctuated the music and whistles as German shepherds rubbed rumps with poodles as about 10,000 protesters gathered in the centre of Belgrade.
SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat)
"He came to protest and to show that even the four legged citizens of Serbia are against this regime."
SUPER CAPTION: Pro-democracy demonstrator
The protest mocked the police containment of the demonstrators in a pedestrian zone.
The slogan for the day: 'If we can't walk, let's walk our dogs.'
Some demonstrators clutched stuffed animals, birds, cats and wind up toys doing their best to comply with the organisers' request that the theme of Sunday's protest be dogs.
After nearly two months of continuous protests, organisers have tried to keep up interest by introducing daily themes.
In the main city square, the emphasis of the rally was on peace.
Opposition leader Vuk Draskovic expressed concern an increasingly desperate Milosevic may attempt to provoke bloodshed in an effort to win the battle for power..
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I am very afraid that Mr Milosevic has decided to solve the problem of annulling election results of the people of Serbia by producing a bigger and the biggest problem. By producing bloodshed in Kosovo."

His concerns follow recent accusations by the Serbian government that the opposition coalition Zajedno (Together) triggered a recent car bomb attack in Pristina.
That attack that has been blamed by others upon an ethnic Albanian separatist organisation.
Elsewhere in Belgrade - a senior U-N envoy added her voice to the chorus of criticism facing the Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic.
The U-N Human Rights Envoy in the former Yugoslavia, - Elizabeth Rehn - urged the President to acknowledge the election triumphs of opposition parties.

The basis of the international disquiet is a report written by international delegate from the O-S-C-E (Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe) led by the former Spanish Premier Felipe Gonzalez.
They ruled that the Serbian opposition had won local elections in 14 big cities and towns throughout the country.

The O-S-C-E delegation had originally been invited to look at the results by the Serbian President himself, but Milosevic has shown little sign of fully accepting the report's findings.

The secretary-general NATO arrived in Moscow Sunday on a mission to ease Russian fears over the alliance's expansion plans.
Javier Solana is expected to hold five hours of talks on Monday with Russia's Foreign Minister about moves to extend NATO membership to former members of the Warsaw Pact.
Solana wants to establish a new relationship between Russia and NATO before it designates its new members at a July summit.
NATO Secretary General Javier Solana arrived in Moscow Sunday night for talks with Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov.
The 16-nation alliance is eager to establish a new relationship with its old adversary before its summit this summer.
That gathering will decide which countries NATO will allow to join.
The meeting with Primakov, closed to the press, will take place Monday at a government residence outside Moscow.
It is expected to last at least five hours.
Moscow opposes NATO's plans to take in as many as a dozen new members, including many of Russia's former allies in the defunct Warsaw Pact.
However, Primakov said last week that Moscow might be satisfied if NATO provided guarantees that it would not move its military infrastructure, above all nuclear weapons, onto the territory of new members.

42191 BOSNIA: CANADIAN SOLDIERS STAND ACCUSED OF MISCONDUCT UPDATE 1/18/97 EF97/0053 16:09:36 00:01:54 APTV VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) Serbo-Croat/Nat
Forty-seven Canadian soldiers stand accused of sexual misconduct, drunkenness and other abuses in Bosnia.
The abuses allegedly took place on a U-N Peacekeeping mission to protect a mental hospital in central Bosnia in 1993 and '94.
Physical abuse of patients, excessive drinking and sex with interpreters and nurses -- are some of the charges being levied against the Canadian 12th Armored regiment.
Their army commander says the soldiers face disciplinary hearings that could end their military careers.
The Canadian 12th Armoured regiment was assigned to protect a mental hospital in Bakovici, Bosnia located in the war zone.
The regiment was part of the UN peacekeeping forces in Bosnia.
Until the accusation surfaced the mission had been depicted as heroic and successful.
A report on the alleged abuses says the soldiers engaged in consensual sex with nurses at a mental hospital, bought black-market alcohol and abused patients.
Staff at the mental home in Bakovici have confirmed that the incidents took place.
But they claim they were in no position to do anything about it at the time because the country was in the middle of a civil war.

Originally 57 members of the Canadian 12th Armored regiment were named and accused of committing various offences.
Ten of the soldiers left the army, leaving 47 soldiers still subject to military discipline.
The soldiers were on a tour in 1993 and 1994 in Bosnia.
During the conflict the hospital was for some time in the hands of the Croats and subsequently controlled by the Bosnian Serbs.
The report blames much of the wrongdoing on inexperienced leadership.

41972 CHILE: SANTIAGO: UNDERGROUND TRAIN NETWORK TO GET FACE-LIFT 1/20/97 EF97/0060 21:13:14 00:02:27 APTV VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) Spanish/Nat
Santiago's underground train network is getting a facelift.
Leading artists from Chile and beyond have been given the task of smartening up the modern and efficient but otherwise drab metro .
Riding the metro in the Chilean capital has become something of a cultural experience.
Several stations have been transformed into temples of contemporary art.
This mural by Mario Toral - Visual Memory of the Nation - is one of several that are delighting Santiago's commuters.
Measuring more than 100 feet (30 metres) long and 60 feet (20 metres) wide, it's being billed as Latin America's largest mural.
Completed last May, the enterprise took the internationally renowned painter and a team of assistants two years to execute.
The painter also hopes to complete a second segment of the same size which will narrate Chile's history after the Spanish conquest.
Most recent of the works is "Tiles for Santiago" by Portuguese artist Rogerio Ribeiro which graces the walls of Santa Lucia station and was inaugurated by the president of Portugal last November.
The work is composed of 44-thousand tiles depicting historical episodes common to both Portugal and Spain.
Santiago's travelling public has contemplated the changes with a mixture of bemusement and enthusiasm.

So far four stations have been transformed into works of art.
But metro directors say 13 more projects are underway.

"We've been developing from hanging oil paintings in the stations to more important works where the whole station is used: tiles, stonework, for example, which are more durable and represent a more global use of the stations."
SUPER CAPTION: Daniel Fernandez, Metro director
The scheme has breathed new life into a modern and efficient but otherwise drab metro.
And it's all been achieved at no cost to the public.
Each station has been sponsored by a private company, with the sole incentive that they can afterwards use the artwork for publicity.

Specially trained dogs have become an invaluable tool to emergency and rescue workers around the world.
Their acute sense of smell has saved countless lives after avalanches or earthquakes.
For one dog in South Africa, sniffing out the cause of a fire is all in a day's work.
Tilly has an uncanny ability to help arson investigators.
She's been highly successful and both Tilly and her trainer are now off to the United States to share their knowledge at an international police investigations' conference.
Eighteen months ago Tilly was trained by Inspector Kim Yates to become an arson investigator.
The idea of using dogs to sniff out flammable liquids at fire scenes first started in the United States, but Tilly has been such a success that she and her owner are off to teach American dogs new tricks.
After a fire has been put out, she sniffs through the debris, and lies down when she finds the cause.
Last year Tilly investigated two hundred and forty-two fires.
And of all the samples she identified, ninety percent tested positive for arson.
According to her trainer, she can sniff out a fraction of a millilitre of petrol in a building after a blaze.
She has been trained to distinguish between the petroleum released from burnt plastics and other petroleum based liquids used to start a fire.
Tilly's reputation for having one of the best noses in the fire investigation business has won her widespread acclaim.
Now, she along with her owner have been invited to the U-S to help train other dogs in her specialised skills.

Mission Controllers at NASA may decide to lengthen the American Shuttle's stay in orbit for an extra day.
Earlier in the flight the crew of Atlantis had problems assembling an exercise treadmill to be used on the international space station being built later this year.
The shuttle is currently docked to the Russian space station "Mir" where it picked up one America astronaut and dropped off his replacement.
The crew of the American Space Shuttle and Russian Space Station "Mir" say their goodbyes as the Atlantis prepares to return to earth.
The U-S astronaut John Blaha who has been on board the Mir for four-months - and is being replaced by Dr. Jerry Linenger.
But NASA may force Blaha to stay in space for an extra day as experiments on exercise equipment haven't gone to plan.
The equipment will be needed on the planned international space station to help space travellers fight the typical loss of bone and muscle mass in weightlessness.
As astronauts on the Atlantis prepare to undock from the "Mir" on Sunday night they're planning to squeeze in time on the treadmill to gather the necessary data.
If all goes well the Atlantis could land on Wednesday.
