BRIDGING DIFFERENCES ON KURILS DISPUTE

By Doug Struck Washington Post Service

TOKYO - Fifty five years after the end of World War II, the leaders of Japan and Russia appear unable to resolve a dispute over four small islands and conclude a formal end to the distant war

In a three-day visit here. Russia's President Vladimir Putin has spoken warmly of cooperation with his hosts, and Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori who has presented him with a robot dog that barks Russian tunes."Our relations are at their highest level" since the two countries established relations in 1956. Mr Putin said on his arrival Sunday.

But they have tailed to solve the problem of ownership of four cold, rocky islands which came to Russia at the end of World War II. The dispute is the biggest complication preventing Japan and Russia from signing a formal peace treaty to end the war and improve relations.

Mr. Putin acknowledged the issue, and promised to continue talks to endorse a plan pushing fora peace treaty so they can focus on more pressing security and economic


issues.

Mr. Putin is scheduled to depart Tuesday morning after signing 15 noncontroversial agreements with Mr. Mori on issues ranging from the environment to energy, to cooperation in disposing of Russia's aged nuclear submarine fleet,

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a constitutional monarchy. According to her constitution the governing of the nation is vested in the Sovereign and three coordinate branches - the legislative, the executives and the judicial. Thus the monarchy in Great Britain is not absolute but constitutional, the Queen's powers are limited by Parliament.

Parliament is the legislative branch of Government It consists of the House of Commons (the Commons) and the House of Lords (the Lords). Its sessions are held in the Palace of Westminster.

There are many political parties in Great Britain: you name a party and they have it. but due to the so-called majority electoral system only two major political parties may win a majority in the House of Commons. In Great Britain these parties are the Labour Party and the Conservative Party (The Tory).


All the organs of mass media aid the state in strengthening the idea that the bipartisan system is the only possible one. The B.C., for instance, gives only the two major parties liberal programme time for party political broadcasts.

The political party which has a majority in a newly elected House of Commons is the ruling party: its leader becomes Prime Minister and forms a government which includes only members from his party (executive branch of government). Thus, the party which is in majority in the House of Commons possesses practically both legislative and executive powers.

The party which is second in majority in the Commons is called the Opposition. The Opposition, the so called shadow cabinet, is supposed to criticise the ruling party.

Note: At present the Queen of Great Britain is Elisabeth II. her husband is Philip Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh ( ), their tour children are Charles (the Prince of Wales - ), Princess Ann, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward

The Queen's grandchildren are William and Harry ( - ) The crown in Great Britain is hereditary.

CONSERVATIVE CONFERENCE

The Conservative leader Duncan Smith delivered a speech to the 2003 Tory party conference in Blackpool yesterday that was nasty, brutish and long. The long torrent of vicious adjectives which he poured over the Labour government - double-dealing. deceitful, incompetent and the rest of it - was not just questionable; it was a charge against the prime minister who is actionable

ATTACKS AT BLAIR FALL FLAT

The labour reaction to Duncan Smith speech was immediate. "These are the desperate words of a desperate man. Duncan Smith's speech has left the Tories more divided, more incoherent and more extreme than ever", the Labour party chairman angrily said

Smith's remarks on the European Union and the way it works show he is a tool or else not worthy of high office, or else he is telling a calculated falsehood, in which


case he is not fit for such office.
