Islamabad, Pakistan
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry defended its refusal to allow US officials to visit a nuclear reactor that the United States helped build in the 1960s or remove highly enriched uranium from it. The uranium had been provided by the United States.
"We said no, because it's now our property, and we will not return it," Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Basit said in a statement. "This only shows that Pakistan is very sensitive about its nuclear program. No one can touch Pakistan's nuclear facilities and assets. " Washington, the United States
Foreign governments reacted with a mixture of denials and dismissiveness yesterday to the massive leaking of US diplomatic cables, questioning the decision to make the material public but also insisting, for the most part, that the revelations were either untrue or unlikely to affect world events.
The Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, accused the United States of purposely leaking the confidential cables, some of which discussed Arab nations' concerns about Iran's nuclear program and whether it should be contained by diplomatic efforts or destroyed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the cables provide proof that the Arab world agrees with his country's assessment that Iran is the chief danger to the Middle East. Port-au-Prince, Haiti
A quiet tension settled over Haiti on Monday as people waited to learn how electoral officials proceed in handling Sunday' s chaos-marred national balloting and the international community hoped the earthquake-ravaged country did not descend yet again into violence.
A leading presidential candidate, singer Michel Martell, who joined 11 others the day before in asking for the elections to be canceled, suggested he was now open to letting the results be counted, while still insisting "massive fraud" had been committed.
Word was spreading that Martell and Mirlande Manigat, a professor and former first lady, were the front-runners, despite allegations that President Rene Preval tried to steal the election for his Unity Party and its candidate, Jude Celestin.
Tokyo, Japan
Factories in Japan cut output in October, adding to evidence of an Asia-wide slowdown and boding ill for the rest of the world that has relied on the region to keep the global economy humming.
Japanese companies cut production for the fifth month, which fell by a biggest margin since February 2010. The fall in Japan was expected, in fact a drop of 1.8 percent was smaller than forecast 3.3 percent, after a key stimulus measure, incentives for buyers of fuel-efficient cars, expired in September, and exports continued to cool.
The drop, however, confirmed expectations that the world's third-largest economy would contract in the final quarter of the year after a stimulus-driven spurt in the third quarter. Cancúm, Mexico
Global talks on climate change opened in Cancún, Mexico, on Monday with the toughest issues unresolved and little expectation of a breakthrough on shaping an international treaty to curb emissions of the heat-trapping gases linked to global warming.
The United States entered the talks in a weak position because of a lack of action on domestic climate and energy legislation and continuing disputes with China and other major developing nations over verification of emissions reductions. The United Nations negotiating process itself is on the line, with many saying that the 190-nation talks cannot survive another debacle like that at Copenhagen last December.
