Roman Catholics attend mass in Rio for World Youth Day

Around 400,000 Roman Catholics have joined a ceremony on Copacabana Beach in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro to mark the opening of World Youth Day. The highlight of the festival will be a visit on Thursday by Pope Francis. The Pope arrived in Brazil on Monday, making his first trip abroad since becoming head of the Roman Catholic Church. His visit is taking place under tight security, after weeks of protests against the government and corruption. Tuesday's evening Mass at Copacabana Beach was led by Rio's Archbishop Orani Joao Tempesta. He welcomed pilgrims to the five-day festival, which is expected to draw about 1.5 million people from around the world. The Pope, who is from neighbouring Argentina, had no public events scheduled for Tuesday and spent time at a private residence. He is expected to greet large crowds at Copacabana on Thursday. There was transport chaos shortly before the e

US President Barack Obama has urged a revamp of the housing market

Speaking in Arizona, Mr Obama said action was needed to ensure that the rebounding US property market does not simply "re-inflate the housing bubble". He wants to replace the two lenders with a system leaving the onus of loan risk primarily on the private sector. The US had to prop up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the 2007-09 recession.

'Bets went bad' Speaking at a high school in Phoenix on Tuesday, Mr Obama said it was time to "turn the page on this kind of bubble-and-bust mentality". "For too long these companies were allowed to make huge profits buying mortgages, knowing that if their bets went bad, taxpayers would be left holding the bag," the president said. "It was 'heads we win, tails, you lose.

Meteor shower Perseid how to get the best view

Meteor s from the Perseid shower streak past stars above the Los Padres national forest in California on 12 August 2009. One of the year's best astronomical events will light up the sky for the next five nights. Best of all, it's really easy to observe. You don't need telescopes or cameras, just a deckchair, blankets and a hot thermos to keep you company. Wait until late at night. If the sky is clear, find the darkest site you can with a clear eastern horizon. Plonk yourself down in the chair facing east, cover up with the blanket and wait. The Perseid meteor shower is expected to peak in the pre-dawn skies on both 12 and 13 August. The Perseids were once part of comet Swift-Tuttle. At 27 kilometres across, this is one of the largest. It orbits the sun every 133 years and last passed by in 1992. Whenever it approaches, the heat of the sun disintegrates its ice, creating a dusty tail and replenishing the Perseid stream. The Earth passes throug
