World runner arrives in New York

A grandmother attempting to run around the world is expected to reach Manhattan on Wednesday, four years after leaving her west Wales home.

Rosie Swale Pope has arrived in New York after running across Europe, Russia, Asia and north America.

She will be passing some of the city's most famous landmarks and is hoping one or two New Yorkers will join in.

A date has also been set for her return home - with Tenby, Pembrokeshire preparing a welcome for 1 June 2008.

Before then Rosie, who turned 61 on Tuesday, will run up the east coast of the United States, through Boston and on to Newfoundland in Canada.
