Bild quoted a Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman as saying Chile wanted Russia to take full responsibility for turning Mr Honecker over to the Germans for trial on manslaughter charges. A German government source would say only that 'there are no indications that a solution can be expected this weekend'.
