Led Zeppelin Walk Red Carpet for New Film
Led Zeppelin walks red carpet for new film "Celebration Day." Full story: British rockers Led Zeppelin walk the red carpet on Tuesday for the New York premiere of their new film. [Robert Plant, Vocalist of "Led Zeppelin"]: "We didn't change popular music. We just joined in with everybody else - just had a great time, and you know very well that nobody ever imagined that the great trivias of teenage rock and roll would last on and last on. Maybe it didn't. Maybe this is just one of them phenomenas. It's quite interesting, really.." The film is called "Celebration Day" and is based on a charity concert in London in 2007. It was the first big show the band did in 27 years after they broke up in 1980. Founding members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and the son of the late drummer John Bonham, all met up on the red carpet. Page, the lead guitarist of the band, says he thinks the movie really shows their synergy. [Jimmy Page, Guitarist of "Led Zeppelin"]: "People will get a chance to see the communication between us on stage and the passion that we have. I think that's conveyed very well within the film." Jason Bonham says he was honored to be able to play in his father's place. [Jason Bonham, Son of Late John Bonham]: "It's an ultimate dream come true. Anybody here if they could find an instrument, if you had the chance to play with Led Zeppelin, you'd take it in any form account. So I am looking forward to watching this as anybody else." The band broke up in 1980 ... From: NTDTV Views: 202 6 ratings Time: 02:12 More in People & Blogs

Kate Goes Solo to Newcastle as William Attends Funeral
The Duchess of Cambridge carried out her first official trip to England's northeast alone on Wednesday. Her husband, Prince William, canceled his appearance to go to the funeral of his former nanny who died last month. Inside Newcastle Civic Centre, Kate met representatives from a number of community organizations. She tried her hand at the Paralympic sport of boccia, a game similar to lawn bowling. Competing with her were two students from Percy Hedley, a school that teaches children with cerebral palsy and motor disorders. Kate also visited a community project in Elswick Park, where she met young community gardeners. She told the children she grows her own vegetables at home. Meanwhile, Kate's husband, Prince William, joined other mourners at the funeral for his former nanny, Olga Powell. Powell cared for William and Prince Harry when they were young boys, including the difficult period during their parents' breakup. The former royal nanny, who was in her 80s, died from a heart attack last month. She had worked for the Prince and Princess of Wales from the 1980s until the early 1990s.

French Police Discover Terror Network, Bomb-making Chems
French police discovered bomb-crafting materials and weapons during an investigation into suspected radical Islamists across France, according to Paris prosecutor Francois Molins. On Wednesday, Molins spoke at a news conference, where he said 12 suspects were arrested over the weekend, and that the police discovered the chemicals and guns in a garage in Torcy, a suburb east of Paris, on Tuesday. The garage belongs to one of the suburbs, and as such, the dozen would be held for another 24 hours. [Francois Molins, Paris Prosecutor]: "I can say that at this stage in our operations we have discovered in addition to a pump-action shotgun and handguns, bags containing potassium nitrate, sulphur, saltpetre, recipients like pressure cookers, car lightbulbs. These are products and instruments that are useful for the manufacture of what are called improved explosive devices." The prosecutor said that the police had discovered a dangerous terror network. They had been investigating a grenade attack against a kosher grocery in the town of Sarcelles. The alleged leader of the group was killed on Saturday in Strasbourg in an exchange with the police. [Francois Molins]: "We can say that we are clearly and objectively confronted with a terror cell that is extremely dangerous. Everything will be done, using all the powers that are conferred on us by the law to put an end to these actions and to prevent any further commission of a terrorist attack in France."

Contaminated Chinese Strawberries Poison 11000+ Germans
On Monday, the German Federal Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection announced that frozen strawberries from China caused the food poisoning more than 11-thousand people in eastern Germany. Over 30 have been sent to the hospital. The Robert-Koch Institute in Germany found a norovirus in a bag of suspected strawberries. One Chinese food expert told the Deutsche Welle newspaper, "In China, shoddy products are sold to the Chinese people. But the best (products are) exported to other countries." The Huffington Post reports that most of the strawberries were given to kids at schools and child care centers.

Keepers in China dress up as panda bears
Caretakers at the Wolong Nature Reserve in Sichuan Province are trying a new method for luring a panda cub into a crate. It's not particularly pleasant though. The caretakers dressed up in panda suites and covered themselves with panda feces and urine. Once they passed the panda inspection they distracted the mother with bamboo. Caretakers played around the crate to show the cub there was nothing to fear. Once two-year-old Taotao climbed into the crate, the caretakers quickly closed the latch. Taotao is being released into the wild where they hope he will help repopulate the panda population. Pandas are on the endangered species list, with less than two-thousand remaining in the wild.

Senior Chinese Officials Skips IMF and World Bank Meetings in Japan
The IMF and World Bank are having their annual meetings in Tokyo today but a few faces were missing from the expected line up. The governor of China's Central Bank, Zhou Xiaochuan, and China's Finance Minister, Xie Xuren, will not be in attendance. In their place will be Yi Gang, Vice Head of the People's Bank of China and Vice Finance Minister, Zhu Guangyao. It's not customary for lower level officials to lead a delegation to meetings of such international importance, but according to the Chinese regime, the senior officials were unavailable. The official reason for the last minute change has been blamed on a scheduling conflict. But Chinese state media has linked the Chinese regime's islands dispute with Japan to the delegation swap. There is also speculation that the officials wanted to stay in China ahead of the leadership transition on November 8th%mdashthe preparation for which has consumed the Communist leaders in recent months. Japan's Finance Minister Koriki Jojima said it is regrettable the senior Chinese officials could not attend. He suggests the political snub only hurts the Chinese regime itself. [Koriki Jojima, Japanese Finance Minister]: "As was noted in the question, I was told that Finance Minister Xie and Central bank Governor Zhou would not be attending. As the Tokyo meetings are very important meetings, having a country's representatives not participate is very regrettable." Jojima ended on a positive note, saying that at least China did not pull out ... From: NTDTV Views: 13 2 ratings Time: 02:05 More in News & Politics

Chinese Activist Urges Bo Xilai's Eldest Son to Leave China
Chinese democracy activist Tang Baiqiao has urged the first-born son of disgraced official Bo Xilai to leave China, saying he may be in danger there. Tang, a student leader during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, developed an unlikely friendship with Li Wangzhi when they attended Columbia University between 2001 and 2003. Li was born to Bo Xilai and his ex-wife Li Danyu, and has been living in China, after working for Citigroup in the United States. In an interview with New York Times last week, Li Danyu recounted Bo Xilai accusing their son of plotting to kill Gu Kaiai%mdashBo Xilai's current wife who's now serving a commuted life sentence for the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood. Earlier this year there were unconfirmed reports that Bo Xilia had put Li Wangzhi under house arrest late last year. In April, Li gave an interview with Bloomberg saying he was in China, but was not under detention. Still, Tang Baiqiao says given the complex factional infighting within the Communist leadership, his former classmate may be in danger. Now living in the US, Tang is urging Li to leave China. [Tang Baiqiao, Chinese Democracy Activist] "From my understanding of the Communist Party's power struggle, and its current situation, these two factors give me the feeling that Li will not do well in China, so I've decided to urge him to leave after some careful thought." In his April interview with Bloomberg, Li Wangzhi said he had not seen Bo Xilai for five years. Li took up his ... From: NTDTV Views: 17 2 ratings Time: 01:44 More in News & Politics

Chinese Migrant Worker's Hilarious Petition Goes Viral
It's an unbelievable piece of satire in a country known for iron-fisted censorship and harsh handling of petitioners. Miao Cuihua, most likely a pseudonym, is doing what countless other migrant workers have done in the past%mdashprotest against unpaid wages. But she's skipped the queue at the petition office. Instead, Miao has created a video that not only demands she receives her quote, "blood and sweat money," but also mocks the Chinese regime's propaganda machine%mdashand it's gone viral. Above her reads "Migrant Worker Unpaid Salary News Conference" Her rambling rhetoric that follows could be lifted from any of China's scripted foreign ministry briefings. [Miao Cuihua, Unpaid Wages News Agency]: "We are regretted to hear that the official of the Bureau of Civil Affairs said 'I represent the government. When I say not to give you money, you won't get money. What can you do? We propose to peacefully, reasonably, and legally request payment. Harmony is precious. Society stability is the priority. So never appeal illegally.'" The language she uses is typical of China's well-educated elite, not a migrant worker who mixes concrete for a living. Her video has been online since May, but in the past few days it's exploded. [Xie Liusheng, Shenzhen City Rights Activist for Migrant Workers]: "It is very interesting. It satirizes the government's corruption from another angle." [Chen Yongmiao, Beijing-based political commentator]: "In China, if those migrant workers don't use this kind of ...

One Pussy Riot Member Released
One Pussy Riot member freed on appeal by a Russian court, two others have their sentences upheld. Full Story: A Moscow court has freed one member of the punk band Pussy Riot on appeal on Wednesday, but the sentences for two others were upheld. The three were convicted of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred. Cheers were heard when the Moscow city court announced the suspension of 30-year-old Yekaterina Samusevih's sentence. However, Nadezhda Tokonnikova, 22, and Maria Alyokhina, 24, had their two-year prison sentences upheld. The three were jailed in August for staging an anti-government protest at Moscow's main cathedral. Samutsevich's lawyer argued that her client had been thrown out of the cathedral before it took place. During the appeal hearing, the women had said their actions were political and not meant to offend the faithful. They said that the convictions had discredited the justice system. Family members and other defense lawyers expressed joy over Samutsevich's release, but felt the others should have been as well. This case had sparked widespread international outcry, with many governments condemning the sentences. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev had suggested that suspended sentences would have been punishment enough. However, President Vladimir Putin defended the sentences last week as just. Defense lawyers said that they would continue the appeal process. For more news and videos visit ☛ ntdtv.org Follow us on Twitter ☛ http Add us on ...

Rihanna Tops Nominations, Lady Gaga Honored In Iceland
R%B star Rihanna and rapper Nicki Minaj led nominations for the American Music Awards with four apiece on Tuesday, edging out stiff competition from pop sensations Justin Bieber and One Direction. Rihanna, 24, was nominated in the top category - artist of the year - where she will compete with Bieber, Katy Perry, pop-rockers Maroon 5 and Canadian rapper Drake. Minaj scored two nods for her album "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded." Bieber landed three nominations this year. The American Music Awards will be celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and will be broadcast live from Los Angeles on November 18. The surviving members of British rock band Led Zeppelin and son of late drummer John Bonham arrived in New York on Tuesday to talk to the press ahead of their US premiere of their concert film "Celebration Day." The group reunited five years ago at London's O2 Arena to pay tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records which signed Led Zeppelin in 1968. It was one of the few times the band performed together since breaking up following the death of drummer Bonham in 1980.

The 18-year-old woman, named by newspapers as Gaby Scanlon, drank the cocktail during a night out with friends on Thursday. After suffering breathlessness and gastric pain, she was rushed to hospital in the city of Lancaster, where she was diagnosed with a perforated stomach. Normally the liquid nitrogen should burn off the drink, but in this case it did not happen.

Gastroenterologist Colin Harris said that in spite of her operation, the woman should be able to live a relatively normal life.

Skydive From Space Postponed
The attempt to set a new world record by skydiving from space has been postponed due to strong winds. Full Story: Felix Baumgartner will have to wait another day or so before breaking a world sky diving record. The 43 year old "Fearless Felix" had planned to jump from an altitude of 120000 feet -- but technicians said strong winds would have prevented his ultra thin balloon from functioning.

[Art Thompson, Technical Project Director] "The reality is that we have a person's life at stake, and so our primary concern is making sure that we're launching in the best conditions possible to be able to get him into the air." Baumgartner wants to break the current record for highest-altitude freefall of more than 102000 feet. If successful he would be the first parachutist to break the sound barrier. A Red Bull Stratos team spokesperson said the earliest next launch attempt would be Thursday.
