(ROUGH CUT -- NO REPORTER NARRATION) Leaders from Africa and around the world arrived at the African Union headquarters in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa to celebrate the organization's 50th anniversary Saturday.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and President of Brazil Dilma Rousseff were among the foreign dignitaries who attended. Latin America's leading economy has launched a drive to expand its economic ties with Africa, a sign of how crises in the rich world are pushing faster-growing emerging economies to trade and invest among themselves, economists say.

Khan supporters allege vote rigging official
Hundreds of supporters of Imran Khan, the former Pakistani cricketer turned politician, say the national election earlier this month was rigged. Holding signs and waving party flags, demonstrators marched through the streets chanting 'we will protest'. The May 11th election saw former Prime Minster Nawaz Sharif make a triumphant comeback- but for parties who did not fare well, like Khan's, claims of vote rigging are rampant. Khan, who is recovering from an injury incurred while campaigning, spoke to supporters via video link from his home in Lahore. Today we are protesting peacefully, he said. But if our voice is not heard, these protests can become ugly. Khan and his party supporters have vowed to continue demonstrating until the the election commission grants recounts in 25 constituencies.

Forklift Operator Swallowed by Hole in Warehouse Floor official
A forklift operator is swallowed by a hole in a warehouse floor.Recently, a man working in a New Jersey warehouse fell through a concrete floor while operating a forklift.Danny Rodriguez fortunately survived the traumatic incident. He had been moving pallets with the piece of machinery when the ground beneath him essentially opened up. Workers described the massive hole as about 30 to 40 feet wide and over 6 feet deep. The gap was filled with spilt soy sauce and cooking oil, as both of those ingredients were commonly stored in the rented space. When the concrete cracked open, Rodriguez went straight down. That position helped him to avoid serious injury. In another scary report from last year, a water main break resulted in a major sinkhole in California. A bus had descended into the gap and two male rescuers rushed to the scene to save the driver.According to a witness, both men fell in the hole which contained so much water that it was over their heads.

Bahraini protesters clash with police over raid on cleric's home official
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Hundreds of Bahraini Shi'ite Muslims angered by a raid last week on a top cleric's home clashed with police on Friday (May 24), while thousands more gathered in the cleric's village for a peaceful sit-in against their Sunni-led government. The raid by security forces on the home of Ayatollah Sheikh Issa Qassim on May 17 infuriated the opposition and drew condemnation from neighboring Shi'ite power Iran. Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, has been in turmoil since mass pro-democracy protests erupted in 2011 and has become a hot spot in a region-wide tussle for influence between Iran and Sunni Arab states such as Saudi Arabia. The mass protests were crushed but smaller demonstrations continue, led by Bahrain's Shi'ite majority, who want the Gulf Arab state's Sunni rulers to call elections and create a constitutional monarchy. The raid on the ayatollah's house prompted main opposition group Al-Wefaq to annou

Ecuador's Correa sworn in for third term in office official
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Ecuador's President Rafael Correa began his third term in office on Friday with an inauguration ceremony attended by Latin American leaders and Spain's Prince Felipe. Correa, a member of an alliance of left-wing Latin American presidents, won re-election in February this year with about 57 percent of the vote. Correa has won broad support from the country's low-income majority with heavy spending on welfare, health, education and infrastructure projects. But the U.S.-trained economist has irked investors by using anti-capitalist rhetoric, defaulting on $3.2 billion of debt, making oil companies sign less-profitable service contracts and pushing through a new constitution that gave him more power. Critics call Correa a dangerous authoritarian who has curbed media freedom and controlled state institutions. Correa is expected to continue spending heavily on the poor and implementing policies to give the state mor

A street crumbles after shelling in Syria as battles rage on official
An entire street is wiped out in a rebel stronghold in Syria. The video, which could not be independently verified by Reuters comes as President Bashar al-Assad, is battling to seize the town which controls access to the coast. It's a struggle that could prove an important test of Assad's ability to withstand the revolt. The conflict in the country has gone on for more than two years and has killed more than 80,000 people. Syria's divided opposition leaders have failed to back a plan by their outgoing leader for President Bashar al-Assad to cede power gradually to end the country's civil war -- an obstacle to international peace talks expected next month. No one is giving up the fight, as rebels convene in the town to join the battle. Footage reportedly from Homs shows smoke rising after rebels attack a military airport. Fighting has intensified ahead of proposed peace talks -- where it is still unclear who will be sitting down at the table.
