The first hurricane to hit the United States this year will be remembered for striking New Orleans on the anniversary of 2005's deadly Hurricane Katrina - and providing a first, successful test of the city's pricey new flood defenses. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu concluded that the ring of defenses was "operating as designed. ...

Full Story Top U.N. all talk on Syria aid as West mulls military action Thu,30 Aug 2012 05:10 PM PDT Reuters - UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - A U.N. Security Council meeting on Syria's aid crisis achieved nothing new on Thursday except to highlight global paralysis on the 17-month conflict as western powers warned that military action to secure civilian safe zones was still an option. While the Security Council impasse between western nations and Russia and China means a resolution to approve such a move appears impossible, countries could act outside the authority of the world body and intervene, as happened in Kosovo in 1999. ... Full Story Top Scores arrested in new Maldives protest against Nasheed ruling Thu,30 Aug 2012 04:55 PM PDT Reuters - MALE (Reuters) - Maldives police arrested at least 12 people in the early hours of Friday to break up a protest by supporters of former president Mohamed Nasheed against a report that said he had been replaced legitimately.

After his removal on February 7, Nasheed, in power since 2008, said he had been forced to resign at gunpoint by mutinying police and soldiers. ...

Full Story Top Cuba reports mixed results of labor reform Thu,30 Aug 2012 03:53 PM PDT Reuters - HAVANA (Reuters) - Communist-run Cuba's five-year plan to cut more than a million state jobs, create a strong "non-state sector" and improve wages has made only limited progress, according to a government report released this week.

Full Story Top Spanish court says sick Basque separatist can be freed Thu,30 Aug 2012 03:30 PM PDT Reuters - MADRID (Reuters) - A top Spanish court ruled on Thursday that a Basque ETA separatist jailed for his involvement in several kidnappings and murders could be freed because he has cancer. Jesús María Uribetxeberría Bolinaga last week abandoned a two-week hunger strike that had prompted around a hundred fellow ETA prisoners to refuse food to press for his release. ETA, which wants independence for Basque lands in northern Spain and southern France, laid down its weapons last October after four decades of armed struggle that resulted in more than 800 deaths. ...

The seizure of MT Energy Centurion, which is operated by Golden Energy Management, underscored the growing risks to shipping in the Gulf of Guinea, where piracy is rising but still not as common as off the coast of Somalia. "They took some of the cargo, jewellery and money that belonged to the crew," the official said, on condition of anonymity. ... Full Story Top Budget poses challenge to Irish government future: minister Thu,30 Aug 2012 02:52 PM PDT Reuters - DUBLIN (Reuters) - The austerity budget Ireland must adopt in December could weaken its coalition government, though it has a "middling to good" chance of survival, a senior minister said on Thursday, raising doubts about the coalition for the first time. Dublin must boost taxes and cut spending to the tune of 3.5 billion euros ($4.37 billion) in the latest of a series of austerity budgets promised under an EU/IMF bailout and Energy Minister Pat Rabbitte said it would be the toughest to vote through. ... Full Story Top Flooding from Isaac forces evacuation of 60,000 Thu,30 Aug 2012 02:13 PM PDT Reuters - NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Torrential rain dropped by Hurricane Isaac threatened to burst a dam on Thursday, forcing evacuation of up to 60,000 people in Louisiana and Mississippi and leaving large areas of the region flooded and without power. Isaac, which was downgraded to a tropical depression on Thursday after moving in from the Gulf on Tuesday, left little damage in New Orleans, where stronger barriers were installed after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Only one fatality linked to the storm has been confirmed so far. But it left a soggy mess across widespread areas of the U.S. ... Full Story Top Insight: Does China's next leader have a soft spot for Tibet? Thu,30 Aug 2012 02:10 PM PDT Reuters - BEIJING/DHARAMSALA (Reuters) - For decades, Beijing has maintained that the Dalai Lama is a separatist, but Tibet's exiled spiritual leader once had a special relationship with the father of Xi Jinping, the man in line to become China's next president. Few people know what Xi, whose ascent to the leadership is likely to be approved at a Communist Party congress later this year, thinks of Tibet or the Dalai Lama. ... Full Story Top Exclusive: Google, Apple CEOs in secret patent talks Thu,30 Aug 2012 01:50 PM PDT Reuters - SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc Chief Executive Larry Page and Apple CEO Tim Cook have been conducting behind-the-scenes talks about a range of intellectual property matters, including the mobile patent disputes between the companies, people familiar with the matter said.

Full Story Top Iran doubles underground nuclear capacity: U.N. agency Thu,30 Aug 2012 01:41 PM PDT Reuters - VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran has doubled the number of uranium enrichment centrifuges it has in an underground bunker, a U.N. report said on Thursday, showing Tehran has continued to expand its nuclear program despite Western pressure and the threat of an Israeli attack. As Israeli politicians increased their talk of air strikes on Iran's nuclear sites in recent months, the Islamic Republic was rapidly increasing the enrichment capacity of its Fordow site, buried deep underground to withstand any such hit. The U.N. ... Full Story Top Canada opposition attacks government over CNOOC Nexen bid Thu,30 Aug 2012 01:17 PM PDT Reuters - OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's main opposition party criticized how the government is handling a $15.1 billion bid by China's CNOOC Ltd for Canadian oil producer Nexen Inc on Thursday, underlining how politically sensitive the matter has become. The Conservative government is probing the offer -- China's richest foreign takeover bid yet -- to see if it is of net benefit to Canada. Political sources say the cabinet is split over the CNOOC deal, in part because of concerns that China would gain more control over Canada's energy patch. ...

Around 20 people, most of them soldiers, have been killed in the raids, which have revived the specter of unrest in the world's top cocoa grower, still deeply divided a year after a brief civil war that claimed more than 3,000 lives. ... Full Story Top Georgia says armed raid was in "enemy's" interests Thu,30 Aug 2012 11:47 AM PDT Reuters - TBILISI (Reuters) - Georgian officials said on Thursday gunmen who took hostages on its territory were Russian nationals and suggested they acted in the interests of the "enemy", while stopping short of blaming Moscow for the raid. Georgian forces shot dead 11 gunmen and three of its soldiers were killed in an operation on August 29 to free hostages near the frontier with Russia's Dagestan region. ...
