NPR's Wade Goodwyn reports from West Palm Beach on the latest developments in the Florida Presidential vote recount. Palm Beach and Broward counties continue with hand recounts today, as they rush to meet the Sunday deadline imposed by Florida's Supreme Court. The Court refused yesterday to order Miami-Dade County to resume its hand recount- a blow to the Gore campaign, which had expected to pick up hundreds of votes in that county.

NPR's Rob Gifford reports that ordinary Chinese citizens have been taking to the Internet to publicize the names of government officials they say are involved in high-level corruption. Gifford visits Hunan province in Central China and talks to enraged citizens who demand that the government do something. More Chinese are taking these complaints to the courts, but without an independent legal system, many cases are routinely dismissed, and official reparations can take years to collect.

NPR's Emily Harris reports on an international treaty on fighting cybercrime. The pact is being negotiated to standardize laws and methods to make sure cybercriminals don't go unpunished, as happened with the I Love You virus creator in the Philippines. Some people in the software industry are concerned that part of the draft treaty might punish people for possessing certain software, and privacy advocates fear it might require companies to archive large amounts of citizens' personal communications.

Intel introduced its new high speed Pentium 4 processor today, the chipmaker's first processor design since 1995. As NPR's John McChesney reports, the chip boosts video and graphics performance, giving Intel additional clout in the battle for high performance users. But analysts don't expect the Pentium 4 to quickly transform the PC market because most users already have plenty of power for their needs.

NPR's Julie Rovner reports on a new initiative launched today to increase health insurance coverage. Two groups normally on opposite sides came together to propose a solution they say will bring coverage to about half of the 43 million uninsured Americans. Families USA, which has backed all of the Clinton Administration's health proposals, joined with the Health Insurance Association of America, which has opposed most efforts at health reform.

A challenge to the counting of absentee ballots in Florida's Seminole County has at least the potential to wipe out thousands of votes that have already been included in the state's certified count. Democrats say those absentee ballots were obtained only after Republican volunteers were allowed to complete applications for them, applications that otherwise would not have qualified. Today, that case was relocated from Seminole County to Tallahassee, the state capital. NPR's Brian Naylor reports.

NPR's Brian Naylor reports from Seminole County, Florida, on yet another lawsuit that's been filed over the presidential election. Attorney Harry Jacobs says the elections supervisor in Seminole should not have allowed Republican volunteers to correct mistakes on absentee ballot applications. Those ballots would have normally been thrown out. If the ballots are determined to be invalid, George W. Bush could lose his advantage over Al Gore.

NPR's Debbie Elliott reports on the latest skirmishes -- both in the courts and in efforts to sway public opinion -- in the unresolved presidential race between George W. Bush and Al Gore. As he did last night, the Vice President insisted that the appeals process needs to go on because all the votes in Florida have not been counted. But the Bush camp called it "extraordinary" that the Democrats are trying to win in the courts what they couldn't win in the official certified vote tally.
