GAS workers in Ukraine uncovered a mass grave dating from World War II that could contain up to 5000 Jewish victims of the Nazis.

The grave was discovered last month as workers were digging to lay a gas line in the village of Gvozdovka, about 300km from Kiev, said Roman Chvartsman, the head of the former ghetto prisoners association.

According to first estimates and based on accounts from several local people, it could contain up to 5000 bodies of Ukranian and Moldavian Jews executed by the Nazis in 1941, Mr Chvartsman said.

Ukraine has more than 300 common graves in the former ghettos and Nazi concentration camps, but Mr Chvartsman said the newly discovered grave does not feature on official records.

At the end of 2006 a mass grave containing 3500 people was discovered in the Mykolayev region in the south of the country, he said.

More than 800,000 Ukranian Jews were killed during World War II. The most notorious massacre was that carried out at Babi Yar, Kiev, when 34,000 Jews were machine-gunned over two days, on September 29 and 30, in 1941.

The killings there continued until 1943, where up to 100,000 victims - Jews, Roma, resistance fighters and Soviet prisoners of war - are thought to have perished.

"HOODIES" and "leaf peepers" are among hundreds of new words and phrases included in an updated version of an English dictionary.

Ever since British Conservative Party leader David Cameron told people to "hug a hoodie" - a young person who wears a hooded sweatshirt, regarded by some as a potential hooligan - the phrase has become commonplace.

Now its usage has been formally recognised in the latest edition of the Collins English Dictionary.

"Leaf peeper" has gained acceptance as describing a tourist who visits New England in autumn to see the changing colours of the foliage.

The new words are intended to provide a reflection of our changing world and its requirements, Collins said.
