e country's reliance on nuclear power should be scrapped and greater emphasis placed on renewable energy. Japan's nuclear industry was shocked.
The date of THAILAND'S general election was set for July 3rd. A candidate for the party of Thaksin Shinawatra, an exiled icon of the red-shirt protest movement, was shot and wounded, boding ill for the campaign season ahead.
SINGAPORE'S ruling People's Action Party was re-elected with a majority of 81 to 6, which the opposition regarded as a breakthrough; the PAP won only 60% of the vote, much less than in 2006 and 2001. Lee Hsien Loong, the prime minister and son of the city-state's first prime minister, broke with tradition and acknowledged mistakes, promising to do better in future.
SAMOA said it wanted to move its clocks 24 hours forward, in effect changing the Pacific's already zigzagging international dateline. The switch would bring the island chain onto the same business day as Australia, New Zealand and its trading partners in Asia, reversing a decision it made 119 years ago to align its time with American trading hours.
ECUADOR voted on a package of ten constitutional amendments, many of which would expand the power of Rafael Correa, the president. Although Mr Correa declared victory based on exit polling, the official count has been slow, and two key amendments are on a knife-edge.
SYRIAN government emissaries held tentative talks with some veteran dissidents, while the security forces killed scores of protesters and fired artillery at restive sections of Homs, Syria's third-most-populous city. In Aleppo, Syria's second city, security forces broke up the biggest protest so far.
LIBYAN rebels strengthened their grip on Misrata, the city closest to the capital, Tripoli, which is still in rebel hands. They were reported to have captured the airport and strengthened the naval lifeline between Misrata and Benghazi, the rebels' capital in the east.
A report by American scientists estimated that, on average, 48 women and girls are raped every hour in the DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, a much higher rate than that suggested by UN figures.
After worldwide protests, the UGANDAN parliament suspended a bill that called for the death penalty for homosexuals.
An earthquake of magnitude 5.1 shook SPAIN'S southern Murcia region, killing at least ten people, the worst tremor in the country for 50 years.
Barack Obama went to El Paso to vaunt his administration's efforts on BORDER SECURITY and to chastise Republicans for not doing more to reform immigration laws, an early play for the Hispanic vote ahead of next year's election.
