Warsaw, Poland (CNN) — Poles are set to vote Sunday for a new president, following the death of President Lech Kaczinski in a plane crash in April.

Lima, Peru — Murder suspect Joran van der Sloot arrived Saturday at the Lima police headquarters in Peru, where he is facing charges that he killed a Peruvian woman.
Van der Sloot, handcuffed and wearing a protective vest, was escorted through a news conference held by Peruvian authorities as photographers snapped photo after photo.

(CNN) — The internet as we know it is reaching its limits.
Within 18 months it is estimated that the number of new devices able to connect to the world wide web will plummet as we run out of “IP addresses” — the unique codes that provide access to the internet for everything from PCs to smart phones.
“The internet as we know it will no longer be able to grow,” Daniel Karrenberg, chief scientist at RIPE NCC, the organization that issues IP addresses in Europe, told CNN.
“That doesn’t mean it will cease to function, but entry could be limited to new devices.”
Ashdod, Israel (CNN) — All 19 passengers and crew members of the Rachel Corrie have signed deportation papers and will leave the country Sunday, an Israeli interior ministry spokesman said.

Washington (CNN) — While local officials are calling for more federal government — specifically military — help with the oil cleanup, only a fraction of thousands of authorized, federally funded National Guard troops have been put into service.
In an exclusive interview with CNN’s Larry King Thursday, President Barack Obama defended the current federal endeavor, noting that the Coast Guard, under Adm. Thad Allen, is taking the lead and is itself a part of the military. Allen, he said, will get the resources he needs.
(CNN) — An Irish-owned aid ship headed for Gaza won’t stop until it’s forced to, a former U.N. official aboard the ship told CNN Thursday.
“We have not stopped and have no intention of stopping,” said former Assistant U.N. Secretary-General Denis Halliday from aboard the vessel. “We will only stop when Israelis force us to do so.”
The MV Rachel Corrie, named for an American activist killed in Gaza several years ago, was expected to arrive late Friday or early Saturday off the coast of Gaza. Israel was offering to unload its cargo in Israel’s Ashdod port, screen the material and then deliver it to Gaza, but fears of another high-seas confrontation were in the offing.
