REUTERS - Pervez Musharraf taken into police custody: spokesman, Apr 19, 2013
"(Reuters) - Pakistani police took former president Pervez Musharraf into custody at their Islamabad headquarters on Friday, hours after a court had ordered him placed under house arrest, Musharraf's spokesman said. Mohammed Amjad said police had escorted the former army chief from his residence on the edge of the capital to a guest house at the city's police headquarters where he will spend two days on remand ahead of a court hearing. Amjad said the police had moved Musharraf because a senior police official had failed to issue paperwork needed to comply with the judge's order to detain him at his home. There was no immediate comment from police."

LIVEMINT - Two Earth-like planets that could host life discovered, Apr 19, 2013
"Washington: NASA scientists have discovered two new Earth-like planets in the habitable orbit of a Sun-like star, 1,200 light-years away, which could potentially host life. Using observations gathered by NASAs Kepler Mission, the team, led by William Borucki of the agency’s Ames Research Center, found five planets orbiting a Sun-like star called Kepler-62. Four of these planets are so-called super-Earths, larger than our own planet, but smaller than even the smallest ice giant planet in our Solar System. “The detection and confirmation of planets is an enormously collaborative effort of talent and resources, and requires expertise from across the scientific community to produce these tremendous results,” said Borucki."

GUARDIAN - North Korea demands withdrawal of UN sanctions as precondition to talks, Apr 18, 2013
"orth Korea has issued a detailed statement on its terms for dialogue with the United States, after weeks of tensions. The demands from the North's top military body include the withdrawal of all UN sanctions imposed due to Pyongyang's nuclear and missile tests, and a US pledge not to engage in "nuclear war practice" with the South. It said denuclearisation of the peninsula should begin with the withdrawal of US weapons. Seoul was swift to dismiss the North's conditions as incomprehensible and illogical. The foreign ministry spokesman Cho Tai-young said: "We again strongly urge North Korea to stop this kind of insistence that we cannot totally understand and go down the path of a wise choice." The Japanese news agency Kyodo said the prime minister, Shinzo Abe, had called for increased pressure on the North."
