Ronaldo breaks scoring record

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo set a La Liga record of 40 goals in a season when he netted twice in the 8-1 rout of Almeria on Saturday.

The Portuguese former World Player of the Year bundled in at the far post after only four minutes at the Bernabeu, taking him past the previous best mark of 38 jointly held by Hugo Sanchez and Telmo Zarra.

Former Real striker Sanchez bagged his tally in the 1989/90 campaign and ex-Athletic Bilbao frontman Zarra in 1950/51.

"This record is for the team and for the fans," the 26-year-old told Spanish television after the side's last game of the season.

"I'm generous with my colleagues because they are with me. This is a team game. I thank them for the 40 goals, which was the objective for everyone.

A run of 11 goals in Real's last four league games made it 53 scored in all competitions this season, including six in the Champions League and seven in the King's Cup, where he netted the winner in the final against Barcelona.

Ronaldo's second against Almeria took him past the 52 scored in all competitions this year by Barcelona's World Player of the Year Lionel Messi.

Bangladeshi peacekeepers safe in Sudan

All the Bangladeshi peacekeepers working in the UN mission in Sudan are safe, said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Directorate yesterday, amid escalating crisis between the North and South Sudan.
Sudan's northern army has taken control of the disputed Abyei region and is clearing it of armed groups from the South. South has denounced seizure as an act of war.
The North had attacked the oil-rich area with 5,000 troops, killing civilians and southern soldiers, a southern military spokesman told the BBC.
South Sudan is due to become independent in July, but Abyei's status remains to be determined after a referendum on its future was shelved.
In a fighting, a mortar shell destroyed a car near the UN sector headquarters in Abyei, while two members of army were killed by mortar shells in the Egyptian camps of the UN.
"However, all Bangladeshi peacekeepers in Sudan are safe," said the ISPR press release signed by its Assistant Director Md Noor Islam.
The UN has called for an end to fighting between the two sides.

India, US start $50m fund for clean technology

The United States and India announced a joint $50 million fund to promote research in clean energy technologies on Wednesday, a step seen as part of efforts to whittle down their differences over how to fight climate change.
The fund will help establish the Indo-US Joint Clean Energy Research and Development Centre, which will finance academia, institutions and industry from both countries to undertake the research.
"This is the first collaborative research effort of its kind, where Indian and US researchers will be jointly selected," US Ambassador to India Timothy J. Roemer said in a statement.
"It elevates the US-India clean energy cooperation to a new level and is a testament to the strength of our continued strategic partnership."
In the global fight against climate change, two of the world's most populous democracies sit on the opposite end of the debate, their differences a major hindrance in achieving an international agreement on curbing global warming.
Under existing rules, only rich countries have to meet binding emissions targets and report actions regularly. But developed nations led by the United States, which never ratified Kyoto, want emerging economies such as China and India to take on a greater share of climate actions.

Biman's DC-10 stuck in Jeddah

Some 223 passengers of a Biman flight suffered a lot yesterday as a DC-10-30 aircraft remained grounded at King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah of Saudia Arabia due to a technical glitch.

An official of Biman Bangladesh Airlines said they had to suspend operation of the aircraft and cancel its flight scheduled for 9:30am local time on Jeddah-Chittagong-Dhaka route due to a leakage in the hydraulic line in one of its wings.

The national carrier sent spare parts and technicians from Dhaka to Jeddah in a flight today at 1:00am. It might require only a couple of hours to repair the leakage, the official told The Daily Star.

After hours of misery, the passengers were taken to local hotels. The Biman authorities will bear all the expenses, according to Biman sources.

Biman will accommodate as many as it can in the next Jeddah-Sylhet-Dhaka flight scheduled for 6:00pm today, they added.

A top Biman official said they will have to revise the schedules of other flights due to the technical glitch detected during the aircraft's flight to Jeddah.

"We've already asked the next flight to land in Dhaka first to offload passengers before flying to Sylhet," said another Biman official seeking anonymity.

The Chittagong-bound passengers will take another domestic flight from the capital to reach their destination, he added.

Biman has a fleet of 12 aircrafts including four DC-10s. It is the only airline in the world which still operates 34-year-old DC-10s, mentioned sources in Biman.

Bangladeshi firms lease African land


Two Bangladeshi companies have leased 40,000 hectares of farmland in Africa as part of a government drive to improve food security in the country, said a foreign ministry official yesterday.
The companies have leased the land in Uganda and Tanzania. Another firm will sign a deal for a further 10,000 hectares in Tanzania this week, said Farhadul Islam, a director of the foreign ministry.
“The government strongly supports companies leasing farmland in Africa. The aim is to bring most of the farms' output back to Bangladesh to ease food shortages,” he told AFP.
“African countries offer unique opportunities for farming investment,” he said, adding “Companies from China and other countries are everywhere in Africa.”
Abdul Matlub Ahmad, owner of Nitol Group, said his company signed a deal with the Ugandan government last month to lease farmland to grow rice.
“Under the deal, we can bring some 80 percent of our output back to the country after payment of some annual fees. We shall some employ 25,000 workers--some 90 percent from Uganda,” he told AFP.
Matlub said the group and other Bangladeshi businessmen are looking for further land lease deals in Tanzania, Benin and Guinea.
“These governments are interested to strike agreements with us. I think it will open up vast new opportunities for Bangladeshi entrepreneurs,” he added.
Since Bangladesh identified overseas farming as a key way of improving food security late last year, local businessmen have also scoured Africa for suitable land to lease, foreign ministry official Islam said.
Over the last few years, Bangladesh has become a major importer of rice and wheat, with grain imports up 86 percent year-on-year to $882 million for the last seven months of 2010, according to the central bank

Nato strikes Pakistan army post

Helicopters with the Nato force in Afghanistan wounded two Pakistani soldiers yesterday in a cross-border attack, local officials said, a day after the US tried to smooth a row over the killing of Osama bin Laden triggering a strong message from Pakistan.

The two choppers opened fire on an army checkpoint in a restive tribal region in Pakistan's northwest after they were shot at, a Western military official in Kabul said.

The incident took place in Wacha Bibi, 50 kilometres west of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan tribal district, local security officials said.

The Pakistan army lodged a "strong protest" with Nato in Afghanistan over what it says was violation of Pakistani air space.

"Pakistan army has lodged a strong protest and demanded a flag meeting," with Nato officials, a military statement said.

"Two Nato helicopters violated Pakistan air space today at Admi Kot Post, North Waziristan, in the early hours of the morning.

"The troops at the post fired upon the helicopters and, as a result of exchange of fire, two of our soldiers received injuries."

Washington considers the tribal belt a hotbed of al-Qaeda, where Taliban and other militants plot attacks on US troops in Afghanistan and on Western targets.

"Two Nato helicopters committed the airspace violation and shelled an army checkpoint, injuring two soldiers," a senior local security official told AFP.

It comes after the United States launched a raid from Afghanistan on May 2 that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden near Islamabad, in an attack that embarrassed and angered the Pakistani military and leadership.
