News at Eleven: A massive painting by Chinese dissident

artist Ai Weiwei dedicated to Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda was unveiled Saturday in Valparaiso, the Chilean port where the poet lived.

Entitled "A Pablo" ("To Pablo"), the huge 900-square-meter painting, is the artist's first for Latin America as a part of the show "Of Bridges & Borders."

It shows dark-toned images of the Senkaku Islands, a small East China Sea archipelago, known as the Diaoyus in Chinese, which are at the center of a bitter territorial dispute between China and Japan.
