Riot police, anarchists clash over control of Berlin street
Anarchists in black hoods flung rocks and fired flare guns at hundreds of riot police yesterday in a wild battle for control of a rundown Berlin street.
The violence began when police evicted leftist radicals from three houses they had been住. They were arrested.
At least 12 people were arrested in the mid-afternoon clash, but no injury figures were immediately available, said Berlin police spokesperson Werner Thronicker.
Right, and left-wing radicals have occupied many of former East Berlin's abandoned, run-down tenements since the borders between the two former German nations were opened last
Many of the squatters are members of western Berlin's veteran anarchist scene.
Thatcher could be challenged as Conservative Party leader
Michael Heseltine, a flamboyant former defense secretary, has two days left to decide whether to attempt the once-unthinkable: ousting Margaret Thatcher as conservative Party leader.
The crisis has thrown the party's normally well-disciplined legislators into turmoil. The leader of the party with the majority in the 660 member Commons is automatically the prime minister.
The nomination deadline is noon Thursday, and if there is a challenger, a secret ballot will be taken Nov. 20. Under the rules, Thatcher must get 50 percent of the votes cast and be 15 percent clear of the next place to avoid a runoff. The winners would be more new comers would be taken a week later.
Russian republic will remain in Soviet Union, Yeltsin says
MOSCOW — Boris Yeltsin, president of the Russian republic, said yesterday that Russia would not pull out of the Soviet Union and that he would support Ukraine's disputes with President Mikhail Gorbachev.
Yellins's remarks came a day after he met with Gorbachev for four hours. Previous agreements between the leaders have broken down, and economists said their future cooperation would be crucial to solving the country's economic crisis.
Gorbachev has been pushing the republics to negotiate a new union treaty to transform the country into a confederation of sovereign ephants. Such a treaty could slow or perhaps even halt the rapid fragmentation that began with Haiti's declaration of independence last March.

Israel agrees to see envoy still rejects U.N. inquiry

JERUSALEM — In an effort to avoid further U.N. Security Council criticism, Israeli officials yesterday offered to receive a U.N. envoy to treatiment of Palestinians under Israel occupation
The offer was billed as a compromise, and the government made it clear that its offer did not change Israel's rejection of a Security Council resolution condemning the Temple Mount bombing.
Sari Nusslebeli, a pro-PLO Palestinian leader in Jerusalem, rejected the Israeli proposal as a
"What the Palestinians need is tangible, effective international involvement," Nuseeb said.
The Palestine Liberation Organization has called for a U.N. force to protect the 1.7 million
An Israeli government official said the compromise proposal had been worked out in negotiations with the United States, which reportedly refused Israeli plea to veto any further U.N. criticism.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Israel had reached an understanding with the American embassy in Gaza.
Israel radio said the United States had agreed to work to remove the Temple Mount killings from its streets.
government had a guarantee that the United States would veto further criticism.
U. S. officials have said they want world attention shifted from Israel back to the Persian Gulf crisis, and they have pressured Israel to accept an investigation into the Temple Mount killings.
U. N. spokesperson Nadia Younes said in New York that Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar was "now considering sending an emissary."
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Thomas R. Pickering, said of the Israeli proposal, "I'm not sure that that is necessarily going to be true, but it is at this, and we'll be in touch with people about it."
After Israel's rejection of two Security Council votes and retaliate to cooperate with a U.N. investigation, Perez de Cuellar declared that Israel had failed to protect Palestinians.
Hes suggested a meeting by the 164 nations that signed the 1948 Geneva Conventions, which outline rules on treatment of civilians in war, to study ways to safeguard Palestinians in captured terrorists.

It was the worst violence in a month of nation wide student protests.
Rot ice fire fired water cannons and hundreds of rounds of tear gas at demonstrators, who pelled officers with rocks and bottles, smashed windows and looted stores.
Police headquarters said 104 officers were hurt, including 18 hospitalized. Police reported 52 arrests in Paris, and 12 youths were arrested for their involvement in a protest march in Montbéliard, in eastern France.
President Francois Mitterrand promised that steps would be taken to address student demands. They want more government spending to improve education. They also want a modern curriculum and hire more teachers.
The main throng of protesters in Paris was orderly, but hundreds of youths on the fringes ran wild. Many rioters wore masks and carried clubs. Protestors were boooted.

Police Chief Pierre Verbrugheg, who deployed 5,000 officers, told students they would not be allowed to follow their planned route and finish their march on the Champs Elysées.
Many students observed the orders, but a few hundred youths squared off against police at the Alma bridge. Police fired water cannons when they approached scattering the rooftops who were stuck and trampled.
Jesup promised more discussions with student leaders today and throughout the week, and said they would "always be on hand."

Those who couldn't come to Paris staged their own protests in dozens of smaller cities. About 150,000 students took part in demonstrations elsewhere in France.
