The Hezbollah guerilla movement has made defiant public statements in Lebanon and Iran about its conflict with Israel as the American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice seeks terms for an end to the hostilities. The Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said Dr. Rice had returned to the Middle East to try to impose her conditions on Lebanon. For her part Dr. Rice who's opened talks with Israeli leaders said peace negotiations would involve hard and emotional decisions. From Beirut here is Kim Ghattas.
Sitting in front of a Lebanese national flag and a yellow Hezbollah flag, Hassan Nasrallah spoke for about half an hour on Al Manar, the Hezbollah-backed television station. He said Israel had not made a single military achievement and had in fact suffered a serious defeat. He warned that Hezbollah's shelling of F on northern Israel on Friday was just the beginning and he said many cities in the center of Israel would be targeted. The Shiite leader dismissed the visit of Condoleezza Rice to the region, saying she only came to serve her project of a new Middle East and to serve Israel.
The British Prime Minister Tony Blair has again defended his decision not to call for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. In a BBC interview he insisted Hezbollah was primarily to blame for the conflict and called for its removal from southern Lebanon and for an end to its rocket attacks on Israel. Mr. Blair urged Syria and Iran to bring pressure on Hezbollah otherwise he said they would be confronted.
"Confront them by making it clear that both for Syria and for Iran we are not going to welcome them into the international community, we are going to step up our action against their surrogates like Hezbollah unless they are prepared to recognize that people in Lebanon should be free to decide their government democratically, and that government's, and that state's, proper army should have control of the whole of the territory."
Hezbollah militants fired around 100 rockets into Israeli towns in their latest attacks. Israeli military sources say the total of rockets fired at Israel is about 1,700 since the fighting began almost three weeks ago. For its part the Israeli army says it’s withdrawn from Lebanese border town of Bint Jbeil the scene of some of the fierce fighting in the region. However Israel has kept up its air and artillery bombardment on southern Lebanon and the capital Beirut.
Israeli soldiers have killed two Palestinian militants in the West Bank city of Nablus including a man said to be a local leader of the Islamic Jihad group. Reports said undercover Israeli troops searching for militants shot the two men during an operation to arrest the Islamic Jihad leader.

The leader of the rebel Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda Joseph Kony is expected to take part in discussions on Sunday aimed at persuading the LRA to start peace talks after 20 years of conflict. His deputy Bens Arty has already met Ugandan and southern Sudanese community leaders in a remote jungle clearing on the border between Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The aim is to persuade rebel leaders to come to the next round of talks in the southern Sudanese capital Juba. From Sudan Jonah Fisher has more.
Four of the wives of Joseph Kony have been brought to him. It's the latest in a series of efforts to persuade Mr. Kony that now it's the time to make peace. Two months ago southern Sudan presented him with 20,000 dollars in cash. Having met Mr. Kony's deputy for a preparatory talks, it's expected the delegation of elders and church leaders from Uganda and southern Sudan will speak with the LRA's leader on Sunday. Despite offers of an amnesty from Campalar, Mr. Kony and four other rebel leaders are worried that if they go to Juba they will be arrested and handed over to the international criminal court.
Security has been tightened in the Democratic Republic of Congo as it prepares for Sunday's presidential and parliamentary elections. More than 30 candidates are challenging the head of state Joseph Kabila for the presidency. And 9,000 candidates are competing for 500 parliamentary seats. The US Assistance Secretary of State for African affairs Jendayi Frazer told reporters in Congo that the international community wouldn't tolerate any faction trying to spoil the vote.
"The US government's support has been and will remain constant to the people of Congo. We view this election as a historic opportunity and a positive development in Congo's future. I think we and the international community will stand together in trying to discourage and hold accountable those leaders, who would try to instigate any such political violence being a poor loser."
In athletics, the World and Olympic 100 meters champion Justin Gatlin has revealed that he failed to drugs test in April. Mr. Gatlin said he was told by the United States Anti-Doping Agency that he tested positive for testosterone or its precursors after taking part in a relay race.
