Correction: AIDS Fund story

GENEVA (AP) -- In a Jan. 23 story about corruption among recipients of grants from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, The Associated Press, relying on fund figures, erroneously reported that the U.N. Development Program manages more than half of the fund's spending, and that the fund has spent $10 billion since its creation in 2002. UNDP has managed about 12 percent of the $13 billion dispersed.

Still no family visit for China's Nobel winner

BEIJING (AP) -- A rights group says the wife of China's imprisoned Nobel Peace laureate Liu Xiaobo was able to leave house arrest for a family meal last week.

It was the first known time that Liu Xia was allowed to leave her house since mid-October.

Friday's report by the Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy cites Liu Xia's brother as saying she was able to eat with her elderly parents.

Liu Tong told the rights group that the family has not been given permission to visit Liu Xiaobo in prison, though he is supposed to be allowed one family visit per month.

China has blocked visits to Liu Xiaobo since shortly after he was awarded the peace prize in October - deeply angering Beijing, which considers him a dissident.

Mandela, 92, discharged from S. African hospital

JOHANNESBURG (AP) -- Former South African President Nelson Mandela went home from the hospital Friday after suffering an acute respiratory infection. Officials said the 92-year-old was joking with his wife and nurses, and handling the difficulties of old age "with the greatest of grace."

Surgeon-General Vejaynand Ramlakan told reporters that the anti-apartheid icon would now receive care at home after about 48 hours in Johannesburg's Milpark Hospital.

"It comes to us this afternoon with great joy to hear that he's been discharged," said grandson Mandla Mandela. Soon afterward, a convoy of security vehicles and a military ambulance carrying Mandela left the hospital, reaching hiss nearby home in minutes.

A dearth of updates since Mandela was admitted Wednesday afternoon had led to speculation and concern about his condition. Journalists have been camped outside the hospital and outside his Johannesburg home. Officials said Friday that Mandela's office has received more than 10,000 messages of support and well wishes, including from President Barack Obama.

Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, acting president while President Jacob Zuma is traveling abroad, said in retrospect communications should have been better.

"Madiba has received similar checkups in the past and it's never raised the same public panic it has now," Motlanthe said, explaining why officials had not been prepared.

Indonesian ferry fire, train collision kill 16

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Two Indonesian passenger trains collided and a crowded ferry burst into flames Friday, killing 16 people and sending hundreds to the hospital, many in critical condition, officials said.

The accidents occurred 30 minutes apart on the main island of Java.

At 2:30 a.m., an eastbound train stopped on a track outside Banjar, a village in West Java province, and was hit head-on by another slow-moving train that was trying to switch lanes.

"We're still investigating," said Bambang Ervan, a spokesman for the Transportation Ministry, as rescuers shuttled dozens of injured to nearby hospitals.

Three people died, he said, revising the toll downwards after two other victims - wedged between the wreckage and previously thought dead - turned out to be alive.

Thirty minutes later and 225 miles (360 kilometers) to the west, a ferry carrying more than 400 people caught fire in waters just off Java, sending panicked passengers jumping into the water.

Ervan said 13 people were killed in the blaze, which broke out just 40 minutes after the ship left Merak port for neighboring Sumatra island.
