Ukraine's interim President, Olexander Turchynov, has called an emergency meeting of his security chiefs to deal
with growing unrest in the east of the country. Pro-Russian demonstrators seized government buildings in three
major cities. From Kiev, David Stern reports. "Mr. Turchynov cancelled a planned visit to Lithuania. His press
service said he was personally following the unfolding events in the east of the country. About 50 pro-Russian
protesters seized the local administration building in Donetsk and raised the Russian flag. Pro-Russian protesters
also seized a government building in Kharkiv and Luhansk, they stormed the local building of Ukraine's state
security agency. Demonstrators called for a referendum to be held whether to grant the eastern regions increased
independence from Kiev. Russia's President Vladimir Putin has said Moscow has the right to intervene in eastern
Ukraine to protect the Russian speaking population there."
Partial results in the Hungary parliamentary election showed that the right of the center Fidesz party of the Prime
Minister Viktor Orban is heading for a clear victory. With nearly half of the votes counted, Fidesz leads with
almost 47%. Nick Thorpe reports from Budapest. "On the basis of the real votes counted, Fidesz appears to be
coasting to victory in this election and probably to another 2/3 majority in parliament. Four years after winning a
landslide victory, this result is a tribute to the leadership powers of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, according to
Fidesz's supporters. While opposition parties have accused him throughout the campaign of undermining
Hungarian democracy in order to stay in charge. These partial figures also suggested a strong showing for the
far-right Jobbik party, it now seems likely that they would be the second largest party in the new parliament."
Nigeria has declared its economy to be the biggest on the continent overtaking South Africa for the first time. Will
Ross reports from Lagos. "After the statisticians have been hard of work, it only took a press conference for
Nigeria's economy to almost double in size and become, by some distance, the biggest in Africa. Much's changed
since 1990, when the economy was last properly assessed. But no one had realized how much the economy had
been undervalued. Now worth around $510bn is the 26 largest in the world. Nigerian may now have claimed the
No.1 spot, but South Africa has a far smaller population and average incomes are still considerably higher there."
The Libyan government says the 10-month-old blockade, of two of the four main oil terminals held by rebels in the
east of the country, have been lifted. The Libyan Justice Minister, Salah al-Marghani, told the journalists that two
terminals, Zueitina and Hariga are now under government control after an agreement was reached. Mr.
Al-Marghani said more negotiations were needed with the rebels to re-open two larger oil ports.

The US navy has rescued a family with a seriously ill baby from their disabled sailing boat hundreds of kilometers
off the coast of Mexico. The family had just begun in an attempt to sail around the world. Peter Bowes in Los
Angeles has this story. "Charlotte and Eric Kaufman, both experienced sailors were heading to the South Pacific
after setting sail from San Diego. But within days, their dream-journey has turned into a nightmare. With their
daughters Lyra who's one and her three-year-old sister Cora on board, the 12-meter boat lost the ability to steer and
communicate. When Lyra developed a fever and a rash covering most of her body, the parents contacted the US
coastguard using a satellite phone. Sailors rescued the family and transferred them to a Navy ship, so little girl
could get medical treatment. She is understood to be in a stable condition."www.putclub.com 自动生成于2014年04月12日08:00:12 (UTC+8)
