US/Chinese Diplomatic Standoff – Trans-Tasman Bum Deal – HIV Positive Teacher admits Abuse – Patty Burton – Tiger To NZ
- US/CHINESE DIPLOMATIC STANDOFF: America is demanding the return of a crippled spy plane on Chinese land and China is demanding an apology, because they say the US plane deliberately rammed a Chinese fighter jet and violated Chinese air space. Tonight the chances of the plane or its crew going anywhere look slim. China says it may yet put the crew on trial for violating its airspace and killing one of their pilots.
