ANNAN HAILS KENYA TALKS PROGRESS !

Ex-UN chief Kofi Annan has announced considerable progress in talks between Kenya's government and opposition aimed at ending the political crisis.
Talks have been adjourned until Friday, as negotiators consult on a compromise agreement.
The deal is understood to involve the creation of a prime ministerial post, the BBC's Adam Mynott reports.
At least 1,000 people have died in violence since the December poll, which the opposition alleges was rigged.
"I am beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel," Mr Annan said after negotiators from President Mwai Kibaki's government and the opposition Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) adjourned their talks on Thursday.
Our correspondent adds, however, that the compromise discussed by the two teams includes elements that will make the constituencies on both sides unhappy.

The rivals have agreed in principle on a grand coalition as a solution to the crisis, but discussions had reached deadlock over how it would work in practice.
The creation of a post of prime minister - which does not exist under the current constitution - was one of the opposition's demands.
Najib Balal, a senior ODM member, told the BBC on Thursday that the opposition would be prepared to accept the post of prime minister provided it carried the necessary authority and power.
