Extractions: But from the U-N in New York, correspondent John Shovelan reports Dr. Blix told the Security Council that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein hasn't accounted for many banned weapons. Dr Blix's report highlighted limited Iraqi co-operation. "Today three months after the adoption of Resolution 14-41, the period of disarmament through inspection could still be short if, I quote, immediate active and unconditional cooperation with the IAEA were to be forthcoming. " He also reported that a panel had found Iraq's new missile systems breach limits set by the U-N. But he also questioned U-S satellite photos which Secretary of State Colin Powell said were evidence Iraq was concealing weapons. The French Foreign Minister said the report wasn't grounds for war. A French proposal would give inspectors at least one more month.

"As you may imagine, that severely started to impact our ability to conduct our business."

Extractions: Destination Profile Vietnam is located on the Indochinese peninsula bordered to the north by China, to the west by the Lao People's Democratic Republic and the Kingdom of Cambodia, and to the south and east by the Pacific Ocean.

Vietnam offers a variety of climatic conditions from tropical in the south to temperate in the north. In the south, the tropical rainy season which lasts from May to November is characterised by heavy but short showers in the late afternoon. The winters in the far northern hills, however, can be harsh. Average temperatures vary from about 27 degrees Celsius in the south to around 21 degrees Celsius in the north. more details...
