Heading the Late Night News, a hero's welcome home for the youngest sailor ever to sail
solo around the world.
The ending of Zaire's humanitarian crisis causes more dangers for the refugees.
And Michael Jackson spending an unexpected extra night in Sydney.
The Late Night News with Tracy Spicer.
Good evening.
First tonight, the hero's welcome for teenage sailor David Dix.
Thousands packed to the Fremantle waterfront to welcome David home after his record-breaking
round-the-world voyage.
The 18-year-old said he was overwhelmed by the reception in his home port.
His global odyssey finally complete, teenage adventurer David Dix today sailed into historic
waters.
At 18, he's the youngest person to sail solo non-stop around the world.
Almost nine months after they bade him farewell, thousands of people flooded Fremantle to deliver
a hero's welcome.
The first time on dry land since February and a brief chance to shake out those sea
It's nice to feel on land.
Yeah, it's excellent to be back, seeing all the familiar landmarks.
I still can't comprehend how you could endure the hardship that you have over those past
264 days.
A time when he was forced to endure massive seas, broken equipment and even celebrating
his 18th birthday alone.
But for David, the struggle was worth it for such an amazing experience.
Among his first homecoming requests, a cool beer and a kiss from girlfriend Corinne Jones.
We've definitely brought us both together, I reckon, because now that I can do this and
I can wait for him, I can do anything.
But his biggest thanks save for his mother Patricia and sailing legend John Sanders,
who, along with some of David's mates, helped to escort him through some pretty hectic homecoming
waters.

Victorian police have smashed a multi-million dollar amphetamine ring and arrested a number
of people at gunpoint.
But after seething drugs and firearms, police now fear interstate dealers will try to move
into Victoria.
The Victorian drug squad rates this as its most successful raid ever.
Big enough to drive amphetamine manufacturers out of business.
If we haven't smashed it, we've made a very big dent in it.
More than 80 police were involved in the three-part operation.
First two men were arrested at gunpoint in the car park of a fast food outlet.
Then an amphetamine factory was raided in central Victoria.
The third phase involved search warrants on 19 premises across Melbourne.
24 people were arrested and more than $1 million worth of amphetamines and cannabis were recovered.
Fresh firearms, including military-style weapons, were also seized.
Police believe this bust will virtually dry up amphetamine factories in Victoria, but
now fear an influx from interstate suppliers.
It's quite obvious there's entrepreneurs right throughout Australia who'll see that
opening in the market and they'll remove their product into the state.

The brutal murder of an Adelaide doctor while on a house call is threatening after hours
Three teenagers have now been charged over the death of Dr Peter Goh.
Dr Goh's body was found in Scrubbland almost 10 hours after he disappeared.
The 52-year-old locum had been called to a house in Elizabeth North around 5 in the morning.
Police were called when he found to return home.
They found signs of violence, including blood at the scene.
But Dr Goh and his four-wheel drive were missing.
Mid-afternoon his body was found near One Tree Hill.
The death has been described as a tragedy by past President of the Australian Medical
Association, John Emery.
And he predicts incidents like it must impact on health services.
I think we're going to see increasing difficulty getting locums to work for locum services.
It's hard enough now.
It's very poorly paid.
30 bucks on a call basically for taking that sort of risk at those sorts of hours is just
unacceptable.
And Dr Emery says the widespread use of escorts or security guards for locums during after
hours calls is not economically viable.
So I think we're going to see increasing load on the public hospital casualties.
That's the only way people are going to be able to get services if this continues.
A 15-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl were charged with Dr Goh's murder after his Toyota
Land Cruiser was found at Yardunda, more than 100 kilometres northeast of Adelaide.
And another 15-year-old boy was charged overnight.
All three are expected to appear in the Elizabeth Youth Court this week.

The King of Pop thrilled thousands of fans at a rare public appearance outside the Sydney
Opera House.
Michael Jackson then wound up the first leg of his Australian tour with a visit to Sydney's
Children's Hospital.
When the King of Pop makes one of his rare public appearances, his loyal subjects hang
on his every word, follow his every movement.
As Michael Jackson arrived at the Sydney Opera House, the heavens threatened to open as more
than a thousand fans screamed.
Jackson's record company rewarded its biggest selling artist with a special presentation.
An eight-metre statue flown in from Prague was towed into Sydney Harbour and a series
of framed awards.
Jackson's record sales have already topped $75 million.
With a slight giggle, he told the assembled crowd he was full of sorrow at the prospect
of leaving Sydney.
I want you to know I love each and every one of you very much.
The crowd surged towards its hero crushing many young fans.
Several had to be rescued and treated for minor injuries.
Despite Jackson's brief appearance, he made a lasting impression.
Michael was completely blown away with today.
He really loved it.
Jackson then went to the Prince of Wales Hospital to spread his own special brand of hope and
joy to the young patients.
He now heads to Brisbane for the second leg of his tour.
But the elements took a hand in the superstar's itinerary tonight, forcing him to remain in
Sydney.
Thousands of fans ignored the wet and windy evening as they waited in vain outside the
hotel Michael Jackson is to stay in when he reaches Brisbane.
Storm activity most of the way between Sydney and Brisbane forced Jackson to put off his
flight north until the morning.
He's now due in Brisbane at 10 in the morning.
When the late night news continues, Africa's refugee crisis continues as millions face
death walking home.
And odd companions as Pope John Paul appears to fate Fidel Castro.
The new boom sport on our beaches, bodyboarders and the surf culture of the 90s.
I'd say at the moment there are more bodyboards being sold in Australia than surfboards.
And the best riders from around the world are visiting South Australia gaining an even
bigger following.
It's really easy, it's really easy for parents to be able to bring their kids down the beach
and participate in the sport together.
All up I'd be away from home six, sometimes eight weeks a year.
We do keep in touch on the telephone of course.
But it would be really nice if Sandra could leave the kids with her mum and meet up with
me over here.
Just to be closer.

If you're a bargain hunter, isn't it good to know that in over ten countries worldwide
you'll find cash converters.
People sell goods to cash converters for all sorts of reasons, but if you're a buyer you
only need one reason.
Huge savings on a huge range of electronics, home appliances, jewellery, sporting goods
and so much more.
It's why cash converters is now the largest second hand goods chain on earth.

Tens of thousands of Rwandan Hutus streaming back to the homes they fled more than two years
ago are facing yet more hardship.
Aid workers say the flood of people is so great they simply can't provide enough food,
water and medicine to save everyone or stave off disease.
Dawn and for the army of returning refugees it is time to resume their long march back to Rwanda.
Up to three quarters of a million of them may now be on the move.
Many squeezed into the little streets of Goma,
the town that has become the funnel for them to cross the border and go back home.
Some refugees have fallen sick along the wayside.
This hospital has reported the first confirmed cases of cholera,
a haunting echo of the epidemic that killed thousands in Goma two years ago.
And by the border today we found this four-year-old boy.
His name is Bienfe.
He is starving and he has been abandoned in Goma by his parents.
An aid worker told me that Bienfe was so weak he had become a burden to his mother and father.
The food that was meant for refugees like Bienfe has instead been looted today by a mob of Zaireans
who overran lorryloads of relief supplies and fought each other for every scrap.
Goma is once again in the grip of anarchy.
People here are utterly desperate for food and they're simply not enough to go round.
By the time the refugees themselves had joined in the fight for food,
quite literally only the crumbs were left.
Every hour 15,000 refugees have been crossing into Rwanda
and the relief agencies just can't cope anymore.
A tracing unit has been set up in Gisenyi to try to match lost children with their anxious parents.
400 were brought to the centre yesterday and even more today.
In contrast to 1994, agencies are being told to concentrate their aid on the Rwandan side,
presumably to attract refugees across the border once and for all.
Yesterday we were allowed four people in, today three and we're being blocked.
They keep telling us on the Zairean side that we're just needed here and not over there,
so we're completely blocked and it's a problem.
There's nothing we can do over there.
So the Zairean rebels have achieved in a matter of weeks
what the UN and its agencies failed to do in nearly two and a half years.
The stranglehold the extremists held over the refugees has been broken.
All this must surely lead to a re-examination of the way in which the international community
deals with the political aspects of a humanitarian crisis.
Unlikely allies have condemned the international community's handling of such crises
and sanctions that cause starvation and ill health.
Cuban President Fidel Castro was supported by Pope John Paul
when he lashed out at the World Food Conference in Rome.
It was Pope John Paul II himself who, in delivering a keynote speech
on the first day of the World Food Summit, opened the door for a meeting with the Cuban leader.
By denouncing trade embargoes, which he said were not thought out properly,
the Pope appeared to deliberately tune into the Cuban issue.
When Fidel Castro swept into Rome, complete with a wall of bodyguards,
he delivered his own scathing speech, dismissing the summit for setting shamefully inadequate goals
and blasting the more than 30-year-old US sanctions on his own country as unethical and unjust.
Why is it that criminal policies and absurd blockades that include food and medicine
are being added to all this with the purpose of annihilating whole populations out of hunger and diseases?
The stage is now set for an extraordinary meeting of two ideological foes.
The Pope, as head of the Roman Catholic Church, helped defeat communism in his native Poland,
and Fidel Castro, the Marxist revolutionary, is one of the last giants of the Cold War era.
The Vatican's announcement that they'll meet during a private papal audience has been waited with bated breath.
Italian government of Romano Prodi immediately endorsed the scheduled meeting
by laying out the red carpet for the Cuban president.
If this historic meeting goes off as planned, it could pave the way for a papal visit to Cuba,
where the Pope would encounter a Roman Catholic population
which has not been able to freely practice its religion for almost 40 years.
17 people have been confirmed dead, with 39 missing after the bombing of military apartments
in the southern Russian Republic of Dagestan.
Chechen rebels have denied any involvement, and Russian officials describe it as an attempt to derail peace talks.
The explosion destroyed a large section of the building used to house officers and their families.
Several children are known to be among the dead.
Emergency teams from as far away as Moscow have been searching for survivors,
with many people still thought to be under the rubble.
Military officials say the blast was deliberate and caused by the equivalent of 50 kilos of TNT placed in the basement.
Some Russian politicians are already blaming Chechen separatists, but they say they were not involved.
There have been suggestions that it could have been the work of hardliners
from either side in the conflict, trying to disrupt the peace process.
Boris Yeltsin, who looked well in his first published photograph since his heart surgery,
expressed sympathy for the families of the victims.
He said decisive measures would be taken to discover who was behind the explosion
and to re-establish order in the region.
Tragedy in Egypt too, where at least 20 people died when a Nile River tourist boat capsized in a storm.
The ferry Princess Jihan was carrying 128 people when it ran into storms and strong currents 600 kilometers south of Cairo.
Blustery winds blew the vessel against a bank where it capsized.
Rescue workers recovered the bodies of six foreign tourists
and are still searching for at least 14 others believed trapped on lower decks.
The others were rescued by local fishermen who ferried them to dry land.
Still ahead, the Prime Minister promises a pay rise for low-income earners
and a pregnant giraffe heading for an eight-month confinement.
Here we go again!
Stop, Boris, wait a minute!

Christmas is the time when families come together
to enjoy each other's friendship, gifts and food.
And it wouldn't be Christmas without the traditional Lions Christmas Cake.
It's a delicious one and a half kilogram family size cake

Prime Minister John Howard has promised a relief for low-income earners
