ATHENS, GREECE
Greece's lawmakers were set Tuesday to pass next year's austerity budget, extending tough spending cut measures that have already left Greeks struggling as the country tries to pull itself out of a severe recession.
With three parties, including the country's majority socialists and its rival conservatives, involved in Greece's new coalition government, the budget is expected to pass with an overwhelming majority in a midnight vote.
The end of the budget debate coincided with the third anniversary of a fatal police shooting of a teenager in central Athens, and lawmakers spoke as clashes broke out in front of Parliament between hundreds of anarchists and riot police during a commemorative march.
PORT-OF-SPAIN, TRINIDAD
The 2012 budget foresees a fourth year of recession.
Sixteen men detained in an alleged plot to kill the prime minister and other officials in Trinidad and Tobago have been released after officials were unable to find sufficient evidence against them. police said Tuesday.
Prosecutors had held the group under special legal powers granted under the emergency decree, but did not find enough evidence to bring charges, said Sgt. Wayne Mystar, a spokesman for the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service.
MOSCOW
The men left the jail just before the midnight Monday expiration of the emergency order. Most covered their faces and quickly got into the vehicles of relatives, but several cheered or shouted "freedom" and denounced the government for holding them on what they said was a fabricated plot.
Police clashed with demonstrators protesting alleged election fraud in Moscow and at least two other major Russian cities on Tuesday as anger boiled over against strongman Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and his United Russia party.
At least 250 people were detained by police at a protest in downtown Moscow that included flare-type fireworks thrown at a group of pro-Kremlin youth, said city police spokesman Maxim Kolosovetoy.
Russian news agencies reported about 200 people were arrested at a similar attempt to hold an unsanctioned rally in St. Petersburg and another 25 in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don.
It was the second consecutive night of large protests in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as Russian police routinely crack down hard on unauthorized rallies.
TOKYO
A panel probing an accounting scandal at Japan's Olympus Corp. said Tuesday an elaborate scheme to cover up $1.5 billion of investment losses was orchestrated by a group of top executives who were "rotten to the core."
The panel also credited the company's ex-CEO, Michael Woodford, for bringing the deception at the camera and medical equipment maker to light. Woodford, a Briton, was fired in October after questioning the dubious transactions that have become one of Japan's biggest corporate fiascos.
Led by former Supreme Court judge Tatsuko Kainaka, the third-party panel found that as of 2003, Olympus had racked up 117.7 billion yen ($1.5 billion) in investment losses dating back to the 1990s.
The panel said it traced the money and the various funds used to cover up investment losses.
