America began saying a long farewell to Ronald Reagan yesterday

at the start of a week of commemoration that will culminate

in a state funeral the like of which has not been seen in Washington

since the death of Lyndon Johnson in 1973.

After lying in state at his presidential library in Simi Valley, California,

Mr Reagan's body will be flown across the country

on Wednesday to Washington,

where it will lie in state at the US Capitol.

MY LAI, Vietnam - Just before dawn, the ritual begins.

People gather around stone statues,

some whispering prayers, others crying.

Every year, hundreds of Vietnamese travel to the memorial

that marks the day the soldiers swept

into the tiny village before sunrise

expecting to meet enemy soldiers.

Instead, the soldiers found a thriving hamlet.

In just 41/2 hours,

the U.S. Army's 11th Brigade went on a rampage

that shook the American military to its core.

When it was over,

about 500 people lay dead

- unarmed men, women, and children -

some herded into a ditch and sprayed with bullets,

their bloodied bodies stacked on top of one another.

The jury in the Soham murder trial is expected

to be sent out today to consider its verdicts,

after the judge warned them

not to let emotion influence them in this "tragic case".

Mr Justice Moses said it was "idle to pretend"

that the deaths of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman

did not provoke a strong response

but that their judgement must be made

on the evidence alone.
