淡水河谷称不会抢先与中国达成供货协议
淡水河谷公司称,在竞争对手必和必拓及力拓与中国谈妥铁矿石合同价之前,它不
会与中国就合同价格达成协议。虽然必和必拓已经与中国的一些钢铁企业谈妥了铁
矿石合同价格,但力拓迄今为止却未能与中方达成类似协议。
淡水河谷公司首席财务长巴博萨(Fabio Barbosa)说,这次从一开始,我们就采取了
跟随市场领头羊的策略。淡水河谷去年在力拓与必和必拓前与中国钢铁厂商达成了
供货协议,但中国公司后来却同意向力拓与必和必拓出更高的价格。
必和必拓本周表示,它已经基于一种将年度定价、季度定价、现货价以及指数定价
结合在一起的混合定价模式达成了一些铁矿石供货协议。中国市场目前没有一种确
定的价格行为。

Saudis reject call for Israel ties
Saudi Arabia has dismissed calls by the US government to mend
relations with Israel to help restart peace talks between the Israel
and the Palestinians.
Prince Saud al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister, said on Friday
that Riyadh would not consider forging links with Israel until it
agrees to withdraw from all occupied Palestinian territories.
"Incrementalism and a step-by-step approach, has not and, we
believe, will not lead to peace," al-Faisal said on Friday, after
holding talks with Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, in
Washington.
"Temporary security and confidence building measures will also not
bring peace."
Al-Faisal said that Israel must adhere to what is stipulated in the
Arab Peace Initiative, which has been endorsed by the 22-member Arb
League, in order for it to have a constructive relationship with
Saudi Arabia.
"What is required is a comprehensive approach that defines the final
outcome at the outset and launches into negotiations over final
status issues," he said.
Those final status issues include marking the borders of a future
Palestinian state, control of the city of Jerusalem, the right of
return of Palestinian refugees, security and water rights.
Barack Obama, the US president, Clinton and George Mitchell, the
Middle East peace envoy, have all called on Arab states to build
relations with Israel.
Measures such as opening trade offices, allowing academic exchanges
and permitting civilian Israeli aircraft to overfly their airspace
have been touted by Washington as a way for Arab nations to show
they are committed to peace in the region.
The Obama administration wants "the Arab states, including our
friends in Saudi Arabia, to work with us to take steps to improve
relations with Israel, to support the Palestinian Authority and to
prepare their people to embrace the eventual peace between the
Palestinians and the Israelis," Clinton said after talks with
al-Faisal.
"Saudi Arabia's continued leadership is absolutely vital to achieve
a comprehensive and lasting peace," she said.
Her remarks about the importance of Saudi Arabia to the process were
supported by more than 200 US politicians who urged King Abdullah,
the Saudi ruler, to push Middle East peace efforts forward with "a
dramatic gesture".
"We have been disappointed thus far to see the public reaction of
your government to President Obama's request," they wrote in a
letter to the monarch.
"We urge you to assert a strong leadership role and help lead the
Middle East to a new era of peace and reconciliation by stepping
forward with a dramatic gesture toward Israel akin to the steps
taken earlier by the leaders of Egypt and Jordan."
Egypt and Jordan are the only Arab nations which have diplomatic
relations with Israel.
But al-Faisal said Israel was ignoring the Arab Peace Initiative, a
proposal in which Arab states would formally recognise Israel in
return of its withdrawal from Arab territories occupied during the
1967 Arab-Israeli war.
"The question really is: 'What will Israel give in exchange for this
comprehensive settlement offer'?" he said.
"Israel hasn't even responded to an American request to halt
settlements [in the Israeli occupied West Bank], which President
Obama described as illegitimate," he said.
Iranian police clash with mourners
Iranian riot police have used tear gas and batons to disperse
hundreds of people who gathered to mourn protesters killed in unrest
after a disputed presidential election, witnesses said.
A number of protesters were reportedly arrested as they gathered
outside the cemetery south of Tehran, the Iranian capital, on
Thursday to mark 40 days since the deaths.
One of the protesters killed, Neda Agha-Soltan, has since become a
symbol of the opposition.
Al Jazeera's Alireza Ronaghi, reporting from Tehran, said the police
had prevented Mir Hosseini Mousavi, one of the defeated reformist
candidates in the disputed June 12 presidential election, from
standing at the Behesht-e Zahra cemetery longer than he was going to
be there to recite the Koran.
He said they had led him back to his car and forced him to leave.
Witnesses said Mousavi had managed to get out of his car and walk up
to the grave of Neda, who was killed on June 20.
Iran puts protesters on trial
About 100 Iranian protesters accused of rioting during recent
post-election violence have gone on trial in the capital, Tehran.
The suspects, including several prominent political figures, began
to appear before the revolutionary court on Saturday to face
allegations that they attacked security forces and destroyed
property, among other charges.
A number of those appearing on Saturday were reformists who served
in the government of Mohammed Khatami, a former president. They
included Mohammad Ali Abtahi, a former vice-president, Behzad Nabavi,
a former industry minister and deputy speaker of parliament, and
Abdollah Ramazanzadeh, a former government spokesman.
'Fatah conference to harden party line'
The Palestinian Fatah movement will attempt to bring its platform up
to date during a conference next week in Bethlehem - the first such
conference in 20 years - according to Saudi paper Al Wattan.
The paper, claiming to have obtained details of the draft of the
proposed platform, reports that Fatah aims to strengthen its
struggle against West Bank Jewish settlements, the security barrier
and the "Judaization of Jerusalem," using civil opposition and
"limited violent means."
The draft would also reject recognition of Israel as a Jewish state.
However, the draft also includes new clauses intended to set
negotiations with Israel in motion, which are currently frozen. It
reportedly supports the establishment of a united democratic
Palestinian state and supports the option of unilaterally announcing
sovereignty within the pre-1967 Six Day War borders. In case
negotiations fail, the new policy would also call on the UN to
handle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Palestinian refugee issue would be solved "according to UN
Resolution 194." The 11th clause of the resolution, which dates back
to December 1948, reads: "That the refugees wishing to return to
their homes and live at peace with their neighbors should be
permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that
compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not
to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under
principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by
the Governments or authorities responsible."
The resolution was never clear on the specifics, and both Israel and
the Palestinians highlight different parts of it as justification
for their claims. It is not clear how Fatah would by its own power
force Israel to accept and implement its interpretation of
Resolution 194.
The draft of Fatah's revised platform would also "insist on setting
up a new timetable for peace negotiations and halting all settlement
construction as a precondition of resuming negotiations," according
to Al Wattan.
The platform would also reportedly call to "open a strategic channel
with Iran" and exert international pressure on all relevant
countries to "prevent normalization with Israel so long as the
occupation continues."
The Jerusalem Post could not verify the accuracy of Al Wattan's
report.
