Historical Events

• Tung Cheehwa, the leader of Hong Kong, announces that he will postpone plans to amend a highly unpopular security bill. This bill had sparked huge public protests and would have given the government broad powers to prosecute vaguely-defined threats to national security.
• Palestinian Authority: Prime Minister Mahmoud Abubas tells the Palestinian parliament that he supports him or fires him. This is seen as a public declaration of his disagreement with Yasser Alafat for the first time.
• David Blaine embarks on a new adventure. For 44 days, he will be in a tiny transparent capsule suspended at 30 feet from the ground near Tower Bridge.
• One person is killed when a train crashes onto the tracks at Disneyland in Anaheim.
• Palestinian Authority: Prime Minister Mahmoud Abubas asks the Palestinian parliament whether to support him or fire his rival Yasser Arafat. This is seen as a first public display of his disagreement with Yasser. VOA describes Mr. Abbas’ ultimatum, which he made public as the latest twist to a power struggle between himself and Arafat (the President of the Palestinian Authority).
