They were in a party of six that decided to climb a mountain to explore the Great Wall of China when they became trapped by the snowstorm. More than 150 people searched for the group in waist deep snow after the alarm was raised. Heavy snow fell in many parts of northern China, including Beijing and Hebei, over the weekend.

Wen Jiabao Requests Probe Into Family's Wealth
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao is asking for a formal investigation into the finances of his family, according to Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post. It follows a New York Times article suggesting Wen's extended family has amassed a multibillion-dollar fortune. Wen and his family have denied the Time's claims. Two Beijing lawyers confirmed that Wen's family had engaged them to dispute the allegations. They've also not ruled out taking legal action against the Times. If Wen's investigation request is true, it may be an attempt to clear his name. The outgoing Premier has been one of the main advocates of anti-corruption in the Chinese regime. It may also set the stage for wider disclosure of the financial interests of Chinese leaders%mdasha move that has so far met resistance from the broader base of communist officials.

Animals Abandoned After Hurricane Sandy reunited with their owners
Pets left behind by Hurricane Sandy are returned to their owners. If that is not possible they are taken to safe shelters Hurricane Sandy left destroyed towns in her wake, but she also left thousands of animals stranded and abandoned. This past week the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) stepped in to help save pets that were left to fend for themselves during the superstorm. Many cats and dogs across the states of New York and New Jersey were brought to mobile trailer units to receive medical treatment and to be reunited with their owners. The ASPCA Field Investigations and Response teams regularly conduct work following natural disasters, including hurricanes. They often work in conjunction with other animal rescue operations, including the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and the Animal Rescue League (ARL). The teams expect to continue to conduct land and water search-and-rescue missions for the remainder of the Hurricane Sandy recovery period.

China's New Leaders Will Inherit Media Revolution
China will see a changing of the guard beginning November 8, and there is a media revolution happening in China that new leaders may find impossible to stop. All information in China has been tightly controlled, as well any news released to outside media. State-controlled media like 'the Peoples Daily' have functioned as the Communist Party's mouthpiece by reporting events but applying the Party's spin. Many events do not get reported at all. But these media face pressure to keep up to an Internet community that is almost instant in reporting uncensored news on anything and everything. [Du Feijin, Director, Political Department, Peoples Daily]: "Now especially as the media environment has changed, if you don't report it, the Internet will anyway, right?" China has an online community of over 500 million people, and 60 percent of them use twitter-like microblogs, or 'Weibo' in Chinese, to post, debate and gossip. No matter how the regime tries to restrict the spread of politically sensitive content, a young urban middle class with smartphones and laptops look for information online rather than in traditional media. [Jia Mingjie, Internet Savvy User]: "Now you can find a lot of sources of information and news items which are more truthful, and you can find them more easily. Now, as soon as something happens, all you have to do is look on your microblog and you'll know about it." Some officials appear to favor this new online media. Others fear it will bring down the ...

Toyota Upbeat about Global Profits Despite China Setback
Japanese carmaker Toyota remains upbeat over this year's profits, despite the recent turmoil in its Chinese market. In September protests erupted in China over Japan's nationalization of the Senkaku, or Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea. Japan, China, and Taiwan all lay claims to the islands, which are believed to contain rich deposits of oil and natural gas in the surrounding waters. During the demonstrations, Chinese protesters overturned Japanese cars and targeted dealerships with Japanese vehicles. Toyota, Honda, Nissan and other Japanese car makers all suffered a drop in sales following the conflict. Now however, Toyota reports that it expects to make a yearly profit of $9.7 billion, despite the impact from China. [Satoshi Ozawa, Executive Vice President]: "We compiled the financial results on the assumption that there will be an impact of 200000 vehicles in the second half of the year from October to next March." With the Chinese economy slowing and anti-Japan sentiment still strong in China, Toyota says it expects to lose almost $375 million dollars in sales. [Satoshi Ozawa, Executive Vice President]: "We assume there will be a 30 billion yen impact to the net profit in our financial results." China makes up just 12% of Toyota's market, so its overall performance is somewhat insulated from the poor figures there. Toyota also reported positive earnings in North America and Southeast Asia, filling the gap that China left. Despite the recent set back in China ...

Dalai Lama, "No Alternative Except Some Political Reform" in China
At a news conference in Japan today, the Dalai Lama said China needs political reform. He warns that China's next leader will have to make political reforms to catch up with the economy's expansive growth. [Dalai Lama, Tibetan Spiritual Leader]: "Now Hu Jintao's era past, now Xi Jinping coming president. I think there's no alternative except some political change, so political reform. Economy reform already there, so lot of sort of development. So that's also brought some good things." The Buddhist leader says the methods the Chinese regime uses to maintain stability are actually working against them. [Dalai Lama, Tibetan Spiritual Leader]: "And using force brings suspicion, fear. That's just opposite of the harmony. So the goal, harmony, wonderful. Stability, wonderful. But method, use secrecy, censorship and bully." Speaking of the controversial Diaoyu or Senkaku islands, the Dalai Lama says things would be different if China made democratic reforms. [Dalai Lama, Tibetan Spiritual Leader]: "More democratic principles, then many issues can solve, at least reduce these problems. So this issue with the islands, I think can be much easier to deal." The Dalai Lama says nationalism has reached an unhealthy extreme in China, which will hurt the country in international politics. [Dalai Lama, Tibetan Spiritual Leader]: "Chinese people must love their country, their nation but go extreme.

CCP Expels Former Railway Minister Liu Zhijun
Bo Xilai was not the only official to be purged from the Party over the weekend. State-run Xinhua News Agency reports that Communist leaders have endorsed the expulsion of China's former railway minister Liu Zhijun from the Party during the 7th plenary session of the Central Committee. Liu was sacked last year for corruption, "serious disciplinary violations", and failing to ensure safety standards that led to the deadly Wenzhou train crash in July last year. Other announcements from the plenum include the appointment of two new vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission. The commission is in charge of the People's Liberation Army. An amendment to the Communist Party constitution was also passed during the plenum, though the details have not been released.

GIANT Black Marlin Caught off Australia Coast
Amateur video shows a fisherman catching a giant black marlin off the coast of Australia. Full Story: A massive haul. A New Zealand fisherman made a catch of a lifetime on Friday. Out looking for marlin, Douglas Perry made a catch of a lifetime, reeling in a half ton fish. [Douglas Perry, Fisherman]: "It was pretty awesome. We saw it hit the bait and then it started to pull the line out and oh, very, very powerful and a real experience." He was aboard the Moana III, off the coast of Queensland, Australia, and he captured the catch on video. The excursion was part of a research program, tracking giant marlin as they migrate around the world. The boat's skipper has been making these fishing trips for some 20 years , and in that time, Daniel McCarthy thinks this was one of the largest. [Daniel McCarthy, Fisherman]: "Yeah, it's certainly right up the top of the spectrum there. You don't see too many fish of that calibre. We catch a lot of large marlin but you only see one every now and again that's sort of in the 1200 pound range so it was a pretty special day." It was a particularly tough catch too. The two had to put the boat in reverse when the 544 kilogram marlin refused to be reeled in.

New Zealand PM Accused Of Calling David Beckham "Thick"
The New Zealand Prime Minister is under fire for allegedly calling David Beckham "thick". Full Story: New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key was grilled by a TV presenter over insulting comments he is said to have made which caused a social media storm. A New Zealand radio station claims Key described legendary footballer David Beckham as "a nice guy" but then used colorful language to deride his intelligence. On Monday, Key said he did not want to elaborate on comments he said were off the cuff and off the record. [TV Presenter] "Can I just clarify that you are saying that you didn't call David Beckham thick?" [John Key, New Zealand Prime Minister] "No, what I am saying is that somebody has overheard a personal conversation and that's their recollection of it. I am just not going to engage in discussions about that. That's their view." Key's comments have been ridiculed across the Twittersphere. Former England football captain Beckham was one of London's celebrity Olympic ambassadors and took part in the opening ceremony.

US Elections 2012: The Final Push
National polls show Obama and Romney neck and neck in the presidential race, but media pundits suggest Obama may just edge it come Tuesday... Full Story: The final weekend of the 2012 US election campaign saw President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney on a hectic schedule across America's key swing states. Ohio in particular has become a central battleground, and no Republican has ever reached the White House without winning this state. National polls continue to show a race that is virtually even, but Obama appears to be pulling ahead in the swing states, and most media pundits are making him favorite. Despite concerns that Hurricane Sandy would delay the US Department of Labor's monthly report, on Friday statistics revealed 171000 new jobs in October. This is a boost for Obama; the fragility of the economic recovery has been the main issue of the election. Romney focussed instead on the unemployment rate of 7.9%. It has been decades since a president has won re-election with a jobless rate this high. Hurricane Sandy's impact on the election will be smaller than expected. Despite last week's devastation, power has returned to most of Manhattan, and the military have stepped in to ease the fuel shortages in New Jersey. With just one day now to go, President Obama is banking on star power. His rally on Monday evening in Colombus will include Jay-Z and Bruce Springsteen.

Prince Charles "A Few Sausages Short Of A Barbie"
Description: As Charles and Camilla touch down in Australia, the Prince admits the jet-lag is getting to him... Full Story Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, arrived in Australia on Monday as part of their 13-day Diamond Jubilee Pacific tour. First stop was the small town of Longreach in the state of Queensland. The Royal couple watched a demonstration by the Royal Flying Doctor Service at the Qantas Museum Hangar. They also toured the Stockman's Hall of Fame, a museum dedicated to the cattle trade. Camilla briefly held a baby Red Kangaroo. Later in the day the Prince sported a traditional Akubra hat, as he met local families at a community barbecue. [Prince Charles, Britain's Prince of Wales]: "It is more than 15 and a half thousand kilometers from London to the Stockman's Hall of Fame and I'm so jet-lagged that I feel a few sausages short of a barbie." Prince Charles said it was the Duchess of Cornwall's first official visit to Australia, and admitted to being caught out by the country's strict customs and quarantine regulations when they arrived.

Staten Island Residents Furious Over Slow Sandy Response
Staten island residents say that they've been largely overlooked by those directing post-Sandy response efforts. Full story: It's been days since Hurricane Sandy lashed the East Coast, and residents of Staten Island, one of the harder hit areas, say they've been forgotten in the recovery efforts. [Colleen Wood, Resident, Staten Island]: "Nobody came here. Nobody came. We called the insurance company, they said it's going to be days for anybody to come down. So FEMA is supposed to come and help, hopefully, just the house and see what the government can help." Many in this neighborhood on the south shore are without power and water. Some have lost their homes. Most such as Richard Fox are dealing with massive damages. More galling is the other stuff they've had to handle with almost no help.

Tempers Flare Over Gas Shortage in New York
Days after Sandy, residents in New York struggle with the gasoline shortage, causing tempers to rise in fuel stations. Full story: Frustration grew on Friday (November 2) over fuel shortages, for New York residents trying to return their lives to normal after Hurricane Sandy. The hurricane brought a record storm surge to coastal areas when it slammed into the US Northeast on Monday. In the lower portion of Manhattan empty gas stations were seen without customers, lights, or security personnel. But 20 blocks from one working station in Midtown, cars lined up to fill their almost empty tanks. [Ramon Gonzales, New Yorker]: "Now I'm here, in front of the pumps and now they're saying they're not giving any gas except for emergency vehicles. I have kids in my car, my wife is in there. I can't even move the car; it's empty. They want me to leave. Where am I supposed to go? Another eight hour line?" Gonzales had been waiting for three and a half hours and had an argument with a police officer. On the other hand, some managed to keep their cool amidst the long wait in the cold.

Everybody has a reason to be upset but, you know, some people are just lashing out more than others. So, I just, kind of, keep in mind that people are upset.

Early Voting Underway Across the US
Some Americans cast their ballots early ahead of next week's elections. Full story: The official US election polling day is Tuesday November 6th, but early voting is in full swing in nearly all 50 states. Election officials say they expect a record 40 percent of voters to cast their ballots early... although who they vote for is anyone's guess. The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll has both President Barack Obama and his opponent Mitt Romney nearly neck and neck. [Arlene Hollis, Early Voter]: "I identify with President Barack Obama. I think that he understands my people, my base, the middle class, I think he gets it. That's where he came from, so I think he understands me. I don't think Mitt Romney has any clue about it." [Ronnie Aiken, Early Voter]: "I've just been a conservative and I think the way the government is going is too socialist and I just can't vote for that. I think that Mitt Romney is a businessman, he knows what's going on in the world and he's just going to be a better president." In 2008 President Obama's campaign focused heavily on early voting leaving Republicans to pick up the slack, which is why this time around both candidates have stressed early voting in their campaigning.

More Grassroots Support for Persecution Victim
Residents from Zhengding County in Hebei province are rallying behind a victim of persecution, despite the threat of crackdown by authorities. Li Lankui is a practitioner of the Falun Gong spiritual practice. On June 1st, Zhengding police detained Li during a security sweep ahead of a visit by an US official, Iowa Governor Terry Branstad. 703 local residents protested Li's detention, by putting their thumb prints on an appeal letter for Li's release. Li's supporters say local authorities retaliated, and began questioning those who participated in the appeal letter. According to rights group, the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, Hebei police also cracked down on other Falun Gong adherents. One practitioner, Yang Yinqiao, reportedly fell to her death in nearby Shijiazhuang city, as she tried to get away from security agents. Despite the security clampdown, Zhengding residents have continued to stand up for Li Lankui. Three more appeal letters, each with hundreds of fingerprints, have surfaced. Hebei resident Mr Cao says the wave of support indicates that the Chinese regime is losing grip on the public it has tried to control with high-pressure tactics. [Mr Cao, Heibei Resident]: "I sympathize with Falun Gong. The public is slowly waking up. It used to be high pressure threats, but now the public no longer wants to remain silent, and are standing up to it. I think the Communist Party's iron fist rule is about to come to an end."
