| FLash | Airlines ordered to hand over data on June travellers to U.S. government
Everyone who took a commercial flight within the United States in June will have his travel information turned over to the U.S. government so it can test a new system for identifying potential terrorists, officials announced Tuesday. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration plans to order airlines to turn over the information in November. Passenger names will be checked against watch lists maintained by the Terrorist Screening Center, which is administered by the FBI, as part of a new screening system called Secure Flight. Those lists include names of people to be selected for additional screening, known or suspected terrorists and people prohibited from flying because they pose a direct threat to aviation. |

The death toll across Haiti from the weekend deluges brought by tropical storm Jeanne rose to more than 700, with about 600 of them in Gonaives, and officials said they expected to find more dead and estimated tens of thousands of people were homeless. |
