Thousands of mourners line the streets as Nelson Mandela's body is driven to lie in state

Thousands of mourners lined the streets of South Africa this morning as Nelson Mandela's body was moved to lie in state in the capital - inside the building which once housed the apartheid government he fought for five decades.
South Africans formed a guard of honour for their former president this morning as his body was transported through Pretoria in a casket draped in the national flag, in a hearse surrounded by outriders, to lie in state for the first of three days.

PHOTO:The symbolic handshake between Obama and Fidel Castro's brother Raul that could change history

SYMBOLIC HANDSHAKE THAT COULD CHANGE HISTORY

Today's handshake between Barack Obama and Raul Castro was an extraordinary symbolic moment, which could show that the two presidents are ready to improve ties between their countries.

Cuba and the U.S. were extremely close for decades, before an army led by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara overthrew the government of the island nation in 1959.

The next year, America imposed an economic embargo against Cuba in the hope of weakening the regime.

The U.S. views Cuba with suspicion because of its Communist government, while Castro's regime has long regarded America as its bitterest enemy.

After Fidel resigned as president in 2008 due to ill-health, there were hopes that his brother Raul might prove less hostile to the U.S., but relations do not seem to have thawed before today.

The two leaders' handshake could be a false dawn, however, as the two countries have looked close to a diplomatic breakthrough in the past before backsliding towards hostility.

Eleanor Parker received three Oscar nominations in six years

Actress Eleanor Parker, who was best known for playing the baroness in The Sound of Music, has died aged 91 in California.

Family friend Richard Gale said she died on Monday due to complications from pneumonia in Palm Springs.

Parker was nominated for Oscars three times - in 1951, 1952 and 1956.

Her co-star Christopher Plummer described her as "one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever known - both as a person and as a beauty".

He added: "I hardly believe the sad news, for I was sure she was enchanted and would live forever."

The actress began her career after being discovered at the Pasadena Playhouse.

She then signed a contract with Warner Bros, for whom she played minor roles until she was cast in the lead of 1946 film Of Human Bondage.
