President Dmitry Medvedev of Russia has called for the maximum punishment for those found liable for the fire in a nightclub in the city of Perm, where 109 people died. He called it a criminal act. More than 100 other people were injured in the blaze. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes reports from Moscow.

President Dmitry Medvedev didn't mince his words in describing Friday night's nightclub disaster. He said those responsible had neither brains, nor conscience. It's now increasingly clear what happened inside the Lame Horse nightclub in the city of Perm. Fireworks were set off inside a room with a low and highly flammable ceiling. The ceiling caught fire and started to produce thick black smoke. Hundreds of revelers then tried to flee, but there was only one exit. In the ensuing panic, nearly half of them were overcome by fumes or trampled under foot.

The joint United Nations-African Union mission in the Sudanese region of Darfur says five of its peacekeepers have been killed in the past two days. Two peacekeepers were killed on Saturday in a camp for the displaced. James Copnall reports from Sudan.

Gunmen in civilian clothes opened fire on peacekeepers distributing water to internally displaced people. The attack took place 65km to the south of the regional capital El Fasher. The attackers stole a vehicle which they later abandoned according to UNAMID. On Friday three peacekeepers died in an ambush in the North Darfur settlement of Saraf Omra, about 200km to the west of El Fasher. The UNAMID spokesman said it was too early to tell if the two attacks were linked. Twenty-two peacekeepers have now been killed since the mission was set up nearly two years ago.

Ahead of the opening of next week's summit in Copenhagen, the joint chairman of the United Nations Panel on Climate Change have issued a robust defence of the science behind the current consensus on global warming. The chairman said they're confident because it's based on a transparent and unbiased assessment of the work of hundreds of scientists worldwide. Roger Harrabin reports.

Climate skeptics who’ve been saying that leaked e-mails from climate scientists proved that essential data have been altered to exaggerate the case for human influence on global warming. Today their claims were rejected by the UN's official panel on climate change. A statement from the joint chairs of the science working group of the panel avoids judgment on the content of the e-mails, which appear to show the research is trying to quieten the voice of rival scientists with a different point of view. These e-mails are subject to an inquiry.

Demonstrators calling for an effective agreement at next week's climate summit in Denmark have taken to the streets of several European cities. The largest protest was in London, where police estimated 20,000 joined this Stop Climate Chaos march.

The spokesman for the authorities in Guinea has said the country's military leader Captain Moussa Dadis Camara is out of danger after what he said would’ve been a successful operation in a Moroccan hospital. Captain Camara was shot on Thursday, and the military aide accused of that attack has spoken for the first time since the incident. Major Aboubacar Diakite, known as Toumba, said he was hiding in a safe place somewhere in Guinea and that he was in contact with other soldiers.

Police in Italy have confiscated art estimated to be worth more than 150 million dollars, which they believe was owned by the former head of a multi-national company Parmalat. Nineteen works of art including pieces by Van Gogh, Picasso, Cezanne and Modigliani were seized at homes of the relatives of Calisto Tanzi.

At the Chilean capital Santiago several thousand people have been accompanying the coffin of the Chilean singer Victor Jara, who has been re-buried 36 years after he was killed by troops in the aftermath of a military coup. From Santiago, Gideon Long reports.

Mr. Jara's widow, Joan, now a white hair woman in her 80s, led the funeral cortege as it wound through the streets of Santiago to the cemetery. The coffin was draped in the singer's trademark red-and-black woolen poncho. And well-wishers scattered red carnations over the hearse as it passed. Some brought guitars and many sang the songs that made Victor Jara a national icon. For much of this week Chileans have been filing past Mr. Jara's coffin to pay their last respects. Among them was Chile's President Michelle Bachelet, who was also persecuted by the Pinochet government and spent years in exile.

The Iranian Foreign Minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, has telephoned his Swiss counterpart to complain about the recent referendum vote in Switzerland to ban the building of new minarets on mosques. Mr. Mottaki told the Swiss minister, Micheline Calmy-Rey, that the vote had damaged the image of Switzerland in the eyes of Muslims. The Swiss ambassador in Tehran was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry.

俄罗斯彼尔姆市(Perm)一家夜总会发生大火，造成109人死亡，总统梅德韦杰夫呼吁对相关责任人实行最高惩罚。他称，这是犯罪行为。另有100多人在大火中受伤。Rupert Wingfield-Hayes在莫斯科报道。

梅德韦杰夫总统在描述周五晚夜总会的灾难时毫不讳言。他说，相关责任人既没有头脑，也没有良知。“跛马Lame Horse”夜总会大火发生时的状况逐渐明晰。当时，夜总会室内燃放了烟花，而夜总会的天花板非常低，非常易燃。后来天花板着火，开始产生浓烟。数百名狂欢者企图逃离，但是只有一个出口。在随后发生的恐慌中，几乎一半的人被浓烟熏倒或者被踩踏。

苏丹达尔富尔地区联合国－非盟混合维和部队表示，在过去的两天，共有5名维和人员被杀害。其中两人周六在流离失所人员临时安置帐篷内被杀害。James Copnall在苏丹报道。

维和人员正在向内迁人口分配饮用水，身穿平民服装的持枪者向维和人员开火。袭击发生在距离该地区首府El Fasher 65千米处。据联合国非洲联盟特派团(UNAMID)所说，袭击者偷了一辆车，随后遗弃。周五，三名维和人员在达尔富尔北部Saraf Omra定居点遭遇伏兵遇难，位于El Fasher西部大约200千米处。UNAMID发言人称，现在断言两起袭击之间是否有关联还为时过早。自两年前该任务开始以来已有22名维和人员遇难。

在下周的哥本哈根峰会之前，联合国气候变化小组主席发表声明，强烈为目前关于全球变暖方面的共识的科学辩护。他说，他们对此有信心，因为这是基于全世界数百名科学家透明公正的评估工作的。Roger Harrabin报道。

气候怀疑论者称，气候科学家之间邮件的泄漏证明必要的数据被修改以夸大人类对全球变暖的影响。今天，他们的言论受到联合国气候变化小组官员的反驳。来自气候变化小组科学工作者的声明避免对邮件的内容做任何评价。这些邮件似乎表明他们的研究是为了平息持不同观点的反对派科学家的声音。相关部门正在对这些邮件进行调查。

在欧洲几个城市，示威者走向街头，呼吁下周在丹麦举行的气候峰会能够达成有效协议。其中抗议规模最大的是在伦敦，警方估计，共有20,000人参加了“制止气候混乱”的游行。

意大利警方没收了价值超过1.5亿元的艺术品。他们称，这些艺术品应该属于跨国公司Parmalat前总裁。这些艺术品共有19件，包括梵高，毕加索，塞尚和莫迪利亚尼的作品，都是在Calisto Tanzi的亲戚家中查获。

在智利首都圣地亚哥，数千人陪伴着智利歌手维克托·哈拉的棺柩。维克托·哈拉在36年前的军事政变后被军队杀害，这次重新下葬。圣地亚哥，Gideon Long报道。

维克托·哈拉的遗孀Joan已是一位80多岁的白发老人。她带领着葬礼行列沿着圣地亚哥的街道向墓地行进。棺木上覆盖着这位歌手标志性的红黑相间羊毛斗篷。灵车经过之处，悼念的人们纷纷献上康乃馨。一些人带着吉他，许多人演唱了使维克托·哈拉成为全国标志性人物的歌曲。本周的大多数时间，智利人都前往哈拉的灵柩，向他表示最后的敬意。其中包括智利总统米歇尔·巴奇莱特。巴奇莱特也曾受到皮诺切特政府的迫害，流亡了多年。
