Nasa spots shuttle damage
NASA says it detected a gouge in the space shuttle Endeavour's heatshield during a routine inspection as it docked with the International Space Station (ISS). A robot arm will be used today to inspect the 7.6cm square, spotted as the shuttle performed a backflip so images of its underside could be taken.
Nasa said ice may have struck the shuttle shortly after Wednesday's lift-off from Cape Canaveral.

Bush, Sarkozy in 'casual lunch'
US PRESIDENT George Bush is welcoming his French counterpart, Nicolas Sarkozy, to his family home in Maine for an informal lunch.
Officials have stressed the meeting is not a summit but a chance for the two men and their wives to get to know each other.
Former French president Jacques Chirac's opposition to the Iraq war saw Franco-US relations fall to a new low.
But Sarkozy has made it clear he will adopt a more pro-US stance.
Despite claims that the meeting is just a casual lunch, some observers have already remarked that it is impossible to imagine Bush issuing a similar invitation to Chirac.
Journalists killed in Somalia
TWO Somali journalists have been killed in Mogadishu in separate attacks within hours of each other. The owner of HornAfrik radio and television, Ali Iman Sharmake, died when his car exploded after apparently running over a landmine. He had just been to the funeral of one of his top radio presenters, Mahad Ahmed Elmi, shot dead hours earlier. These are thought to be the first such killings of local journalists in over a decade.
