McCain backs government takeover of mortgage giants
AFP, Albuquerque. New Mexico
Republican presidential hopeful John McCain backed a government takeover of two mortgage giants Saturday while his Democratic rival warned that taxpayers should not bail out their shareholders.
Asked whether Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae -- which underwrite millions of US mortgages - should be placed in a conservatorship, McCain said "I think it has to be done."
"We've got to keep people in their homes," McCain told Face the Nation in an interview set to be broadcast Sunday.
But McCain said the temporary takeover should not be a blank check to the executives who were paid massive salaries while they mismanaged the mortgage giants.
"There's got to be restructuring, there's got to be rcorgani zation, and there's got to be some confidence that we've stopped this downward spiral," McCain said.
"This is the kind of cronyism, corruption, that's made people so justifiably angry."
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are government-chartered, shareholder-owned firms which own or guarantee nearly half of die nation's mortgages totaling more than five trillion dollars.
They buy mortgages from smaller institutions, repackage them and resell them as securities: a critical function in keeping liquidity in the housing market.
HK Disneyland lures Chinese as it marks third birthday
AFP, Hong Kong
Hong Kong Disneyland will celebrate its birthday on Friday after three difficult years, as its new managing director juggles a grab for Chinese visitors with a battle over how to fund expansion.
The theme park has struggled to attract enough visitors since it opened to great fanfare in 2005, and has faced criticism it failed to understand both the local and mainland China markets.
But a shift to more Chinese-friendly marketing earlier this year was reinforced by the appointment of managing director Andrew Kam, whose career has been spent selling another US icon, Coca-Cola, to China.
"I have yet to go into the details of the plan we will set for next year, but it will be fairly aggressive in terms of (visitor) growth, " Kam told a small group of reporters this week just two days after starting his job.
"We are going to invest more resources in developing these markets ... China is probably the single largest market outside Hong Kong for us - we are looking for expansion there," he added. AFP

Taiwan mulling further package to lift sagging economy
AFP, Taipei
Taiwan plans to take more steps to prop up a sluggish economy that has shaken the public's faith in the new government more than three months after it took office, officials said Sunday.
Top government officials, including Vice Premier Paul Chiu and Finance Minister Lee Sush-der, said the measures would be discussed during Thursday's cabinet meeting.
The officials declined to provide details, but local media reported that they include lowering the stock transaction tax and individual income tax.
Legislators Lai Shyh-bao and Chiu Yi of the ruling Kuomintang have pledged to pass a bill to reduce the 0.3 percent stock transaction tax, a move Chiu said would be a "wonder drug" to the pummelling stock market.
But the opposition cast doubt over the effects of lowering that tax, alleging it would do little to boost investor confidence.

AFP, Tehran
Iran's inflation hit 27.6 percent in the calendar month of Mordad that ended August 21, the central bank said Sunday, as Iranians were again battered by rising prices of basic foodstuffs and goods.
The consumer price index (CPI) in urban areas increased by 27.6 percent compared to the same month in the previous year, the Etemad newspaper quoted the bank as saying.
The figures confirm that prices are on an upward trajectory in the nation of 70 million people, with the poor hit the hardest.
Inflation in urban areas for the Iranian month ofTir which ended July 21 touched 26.1 percent, while the two months prior to that registered CPI increases of 25 and 24 percent respectively.
The central bank report only provided the figure for urban areas, where more than two-thirds of the Iranian population live.
