Libyan PM urges former rebels to leave Tripoli as fresh clashes leave one dead a day after more than 40 were killed.
A 48-hour state of emergency has been declared in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, after a fresh wave of clashes broke out following a deadly protest against armed groups.

At least one person was killed and dozens wounded in Saturday\'s clashes that took place a day after more than 40 people were killed in firing by gunmen.

Saturday\'s gun battles broke out to the east of the capital in Tajoura, where rival gunmen clashed at checkpoints set up to stop more gunmen nearby city of Misrata from entering Tripoli, Mohammad Sasi, a local member of Libya\'s congress said.

Thousands of protesters gathered in the city centre to mourn those killed in Friday\'s attack when militias fired on a crowd urging the dissolution of unlawful armed groups.

Mourners called on their government to resign and armed militias to leave the city.

Ireland is to make a clean break from its three-year 85bn euro (£71bn) bailout programme next month, without seeking precautionary funding.

The Irish prime minister (taoiseach) Enda Kenny confirmed the move during a speech to the Irish parliament.

The Irish economy is emerging from one of the deepest recessions in the eurozone, having sought an international bailout in November 2010.

Ireland is due to leave the EU-IMF bailout on 15 December.

The first ever trial of an ex-president of the Federal Republic of Germany has begun in the northern city of Hanover where Christian Wulff is accused of accepting financial favours in office.

Once tipped as a successor to Chancellor Angela Merkel, he quit the largely ceremonial president\'s role in disgrace in February last year.

He is charged over a visit to the Munich Oktoberfest beer festival in 2008, when prosecutors claim his hotel bill was paid by film producer David Groenewold, who is also on trial. 

More serious charges were dropped.

A horse and cart passes the Bank of Ireland in central Dublin, Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2010. Europe's debt crisis reached a critical juncture Tuesday, as finance ministers sought to keep Ireland's market turmoil from triggering a domino effect that could topple other vulnerable nations like Portugal and fray the region's economic unity. Only months after saving Greece from bankruptcy in May, the 16-country eurozone has been shaken anew by concerns that Ireland will be unable to sustain the cost of its banks' failure, suggesting only another bailout can now soothe investors' jangled nerves.

Ce scrutin devrait marqué le retour au pouvoir de Michelle Bachelet. Certains sondages la donnent même gagnante dès le premier tour. A 62 ans, l'ancienne présidente socialiste jouit d'une grande popularité. Elle a dirigé le pays entre 2006 et 2010. Elle n'a pu se représenter alors, puisque la constitution interdit de briguer deux mandats consécutifs. Durant la campagne, elle a promis d'engager rapidement une révision de la constitution ainsi qu'une grande réforme fiscale. Si second tour il doit y avoir pour la présidentielle, Mme Bachelle devrait être opposée à Evelyn Matthei, qui représente la droite chilienne. Elle était ministre du Travail ces deux dernières années, sous la présidence de Sebastian Piñera. C'est un duel féminin chargé d'histoire, puisque Michelle Bachelet est la fille d'un général qui fut torturé à mort durant la dictature de Pinochet. Le père d'Evelyn Matthei était aussi général, mais lui faisait partie de la junte militaire. Les bureaux de vote doivent fermer à 18h00, heure locale (22h00, heure de Bruxelles).

Libyan PM urges former rebels to leave Tripoli as fresh clashes leave one dead a day after more than 40 were killed. A 48-hour state of emergency has been declared in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, after a fresh wave of clashes broke out following a deadly protest against armed groups. At least one person was killed and dozens wounded in Saturday's clashes that took place a day after more than 40 people were killed in firing by gunmen. Saturday's gun battles broke out to the east of the capital in Tajoura, where rival gunmen clashed at checkpoints set up to stop more gunmen nearby city of Misrata from entering Tripoli, Mohammad Sasi, a local member of Libya's congress said. Thousands of protesters gathered in the city centre to mourn those killed in Friday's attack when militias fired on a crowd urging the dissolution of unlawful armed groups. Mourners called on their government to resign and armed militias to leave the city. "I extend my warmest condolences. May God console all the families of the martyrs. It's a great loss to the country, what has happened is regrettable," said Ali Zidan, Libyan prime minister, at a news conference on Saturday. Many stores in the city were closed on Saturday. Tripoli officials have declared a three-day mourning period. Friday's protest had been the biggest show of public anger over militias in months. The Libyan Prime Minister has demanded that all militias "without exception" who fired on civilians leave the Libyan capital. "The armed manifestations and bullying on the state with the weapons that were seized during the revolution (against Muammar Gaddafi) is unaccepted by the people." Zidan, who was briefly kidnapped by militiamen himself last month, said on Friday his embattled government was working on a plan to drive all militias out of Tripoli. Tripoli on edge Tripoli is on edge since the deadly clashes that also left more than 500 wounded, LANA reported the Interior Ministry as saying. The new clashes occurred despite the Prime Minister urging the rebels to stay out of Tripoli, saying that "it would have negative and catastrophic consequences". US Secretary of State John Kerry condemned the violence and urged restraint in a statement issued by the State Department. The fighting followed demonstrations on Friday, in which imams, during weekly Muslim prayers, called for protests against armed groups and former fighters who refuse to disarm, which then degenerated into deadly clashes continuing through the night. After the death of longtime dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Libya's new leaders have struggled to take control of armed groups fighting over power and influence.

At Least 460.000 Sudanese Displaced In Sudan
At Least 460.000 Sudanese Displaced In Sudan
  • Order:
  • Duration: 1:41
  • Updated: 14 Nov 2013
At least 460,000 people in Sudan's Darfur region have been displaced this year as a result of tribal violence and rebel-government battles, the United Nation says. Citing humanitarian organisations, the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on Thursday said that "so far in 2013 at least 460,000 people have fled their homes in Darfur as a result of inter-tribal fighting and clashes between the SAF (Sudanese army) and armed movements". "This is more than the number of people internally displaced in Darfur in 2011 and 2012 combined," the UN said. The latest figure marks a jump from the 300,000 who UN humanitarian aid chief Valerie Amos announced in May had been displaced during the first five months of the year. Tribal violence has eclipsed rebel activity as Darfur's major security threat, Defence Minister Abdelrahim Mohammed Hussein said in a briefing to parliament on Tuesday. Darfur has been unstable since 2003 when armed groups complaining about marginalisation by the Sudanese government started a rebellion, which sucked in government-backed militias known as the Janjaweed, which were blamed for widespread killings that have been labelled as genocide. President Omar el-Bashir was in 2009 indicted by the International Criminal Court for genocide and war crimes in Darfur, which issued a warrant for his arrest but he remains at large, and has since visited several African countries. The UN estimates as many as 300,000 people have been killed in the Darfur genocide but the Sudanese government says the death toll has been grossly inflated.

Ireland Breaks Out Of Bailout Programme
Ireland Breaks Out Of Bailout Programme
  • Order:
  • Duration: 3:42
  • Updated: 14 Nov 2013
Ireland is to make a clean break from its three-year 85bn euro (£71bn) bailout programme next month, without seeking precautionary funding. The Irish prime minister (taoiseach) Enda Kenny confirmed the move during a speech to the Irish parliament. The Irish economy is emerging from one of the deepest recessions in the eurozone, having sought an international bailout in November 2010. Ireland is due to leave the EU-IMF bailout on 15 December. Mr Kenny said: "We will exit the bailout in a strong position. The government has been preparing for a return to normal market trading. "We will set out a path to a brighter economic future for our people, a path from mass unemployment to full employment, from involuntary emigration to the return of thousands of people who have to leave for other countries to find work. "Today is just the latest step in that ongoing journey, a significant step indeed but also just another step towards our ultimate job of getting Ireland working again." He added that German chancellor Angela Merkel pledged to work closely with Ireland to improve funding mechanisms for the economy, including access to finance for small and medium businesses. "The German government has asked KFW, the German development bank, to work with the German and Irish authorities swiftly, in order to deliver on this initiative at the earliest possible date," Mr Kenny said. Strategic outline International Monetary Fund managing director Christine Lagarde said the performance of Ireland bodes well for the future. "The Irish authorities have established a very strong track record of policy implementation. This bodes well as Ireland exits its EU/IMF-supported programme," she said. "Although uncertainties remain in Europe and the global economy more broadly, Ireland is in a strong position in terms of its bond yields and has built a sizable cash buffer. We look forward to continuing to work with the authorities as they address the challenges that remain." It is understood a decision not to seek a special overdraft facility was finalised at an emergency cabinet meeting on Thursday, ahead of Finance Minister Michael Noonan flying out to a summit in Brussels. Mr Noonan said the decision was in Ireland's best interests, and that he hoped to publish the main outlines of a medium-term economic strategy before 25 December. The Department of Finance said confidence and sentiment towards Ireland has improved considerably in recent months and domestic and international economic conditions were also improving. Deputy prime minister Eamon Gilmore told the parliament it was an "historic, important and welcome" announcement. However, the Labour leader added: "There will be no celebration until our economic fortunes are fully recovered." Mr Gilmore said the renegotiation of bailout interest rates and the Anglo bank promissory note were among the reasons Ireland can cleanly exit the bailout. Micheál Martin, leader of the opposition Fianna Fáil party, said a case should be presented by the government on why Ireland does not need a precautionary credit line. He said there was no need for a "stage-managed" announcement. Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams welcomed the move but said the government should not applaud itself for decimating public services and leaving families across the state in poverty. Independent member Stephen Donnelly described it as a "bittersweet moment" for Ireland and said there was a need for retrospective capitalisation. Another independent member, Shane Ross, said the bond markets would require as much austerity as the Irish government had been "imposing at the whim of the troika (the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund who provided the bailout)".
