North Korea plan OKs some nuclear facility inspections
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — North Korea can be dissuaded from building nuclear weapons, Vice President Al Gore said yesterday, adding that North Korea must see that the world is determined to keep it non-nuclear.
Gore, speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," acknowledged that it was difficult to predict the actions of the isolated regime but that it was "most unlikely" that the dispute about North Korea's nuclear program would lead to war.
"I think that it's very likely that the world will find a way to deal with this problem. But North Korea should not misunderstand or underestimate the resolve of the world community," he said.
It is a difficult problem, Gore said, and "our basic roadmap for dealing with it is to do everything we can to explore the possibility that North Korea does not want to build nuclear weapons and to try to persuade them not to do so."
He said that economic sanctions remain an option if North Korea refuses to open up its facilities to inspections, and the administration is working "in a deliberative and careful and determined way" to ensure the cooperation of China and other countries in whatever steps are taken.
"We'll have more discussions among ourselves tomorrow," and that it would be "premature to make a shift in our approach right now," he said.
Gore said there were "some good things" and "some bad things" about a recent North Korean proposal that would allow limited international inspection of its nuclear facilities.
He said the administration was "in the midst of studying this very carefully."
Administration sources said North Korea was willing to permit the International Atomic Energy Agency to resume inspections of some facilities but had refused the U.S. demand that it revive talks with South Korea on denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
The CIA believes North Korea may have enough nuclear material for one or two weapons. The country denies having a nuclear weapons program but has barred full inspection by the atomic energy agency.
A document, issued by the Vatican on Saturday, provides guidelines on how to integrate Church of England members, including the "exceptional circumstances" of married priests. The priests were ordained in a faith that allowed marriage and sexual relations.
Vatican may accept clergy who leave Anglican church
The Church of England decided last year to allow women priests. Over 30 Anglican clergymen have quit in protest.
The Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — Vatican leaders and British clergy met Friday to discuss plans for accepting Anglican clergy—including married priests—who leave their church to protest its decision to ordain women.
The document was released as Pope John Paul II lauded efforts to fight discrimination against women and racial minorities.

Weekend earthquakes shake Oregon, Alaska
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — Earthquakes caused moderate damage in Alaska and Oregon this weekend.
The quake struck about 2:20 p.m. and measured 5.4 on the Richter scale, said Pat Jorgenson of the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, Calif.
The earthquake heavily damaged at least one building in Klamath Falls, Ore., Saturday afternoon, witnesses said. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
In Alaska, an earthquake rattled Prudhoe Bay on the coast of the Arctic Ocean early Saturday. A smaller earthquake shook the central Aleutian Islands only hours later.
The quake measured 5.7 on the Richter scale, said Guy Urban, a representative for the Alaska Tsunami Warning Center.
