LIMA
A $4.8 billion gold and copper mining project, Peru's biggest such investment, was declared suspended Tuesday after increasingly violent protests by highlands peasants who fear for their water supply.
At least 20 people, including eight with gunshot wounds, were injured Tuesday in clashes between opponents of the Conga project and police who used firearms, Cajamarca state regional health director Reynaldo Nunez told Canal N television. He said one person was in critical condition and the injured included police.
"After discussions with the government, it was agreed that to help restore public order, the project would be suspended," Newmont Mining Corp. spokesman Omar Jabara told The Associated Press via email.
Denver-based Newmont is the majority owner of Conga, which was to begin production in 2015 and is an outgrowth of Yanacocha, Latin America's biggest gold mine.
However, leaders of the open-ended protest against the planned mine that began Thursday in the northern state bordering Ecuador said they would not halt the action until the project is canceled.
Caijamaca's president, Gregorio Santos, told the AP that opponents want "a legal document that definitively eliminates" the project.
At a Lima news conference, Prime Minister Salomon Lerner did not answer a reporter's question of whether the suspension was temporary or definitive.
HENLEY-ON-KLIP,
SOUTH AFRICA
Mpumi Nobiva was raised by her grandmother in a neighborhood beset by poverty and crime after her mother died of AIDS. Now one of the first to graduate from Oprah Winfrey's school, she is headed to college in North Carolina.
Winfrey spent $40 million to give her girls a campus with computer and science labs, a library and a wellness center. None paid tuition. The students are high-achievers, often from communities where schools are struggling to overcome the legacy of aparthaid.
And as the South African school year nears its end, all 72 members of the school's first graduating class have been accepted to universities in South Africa or the United States. More than a dozen have received full scholarships.
Wintref told her students that when you teach a girl, you teach a nation.
"The first class, my class, will prove that," said Nobiva, 18, who will study visual and performing arts at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Winfrey will be at the school for graduation ceremonies in January, school officials said Wednesday as students gathered to reflect on their experiences over the last five years.
The school has drawn sometimes harsh attention because of the celebrity who founded it, and also because of early problems.
Students have been accused of being spoiled. Allegations that a woman employed to care for the girls in their dormitory had instead abused teens were the subject of headlines around the world.
CAIRO
The generals who took power after the February fall of Hosni Mubarak have said they will name the government and the parliament would have no right to dissolve it. They have also sought to wrest from the new parliament the more long-reaching and crucial role of running the process for writing the new constitution.
Partial results Wednesday showed the Muslim Brotherhood emerging as the biggest winner in Egypt's landmark parliamentary elections, and leaders of the once-banned Islamic group demanded to form the next government, setting the stage for a possible confrontation with the ruling military.
But the Brotherhood's confidence was riding high after the unexpectedly large turnout this week for two days of voting. Millions lined up at the polls for the first of multiple rounds of balloting in their country's first free election in living memory.
Even before polls closed on Tuesday, Mohammed Mursi, head of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, told reporters outside a polling center in Cairo that the majority in parliament must put together the government.
Another top Brotherhood figure, Sobhi Saleh, told the Associated Press on Wednesday that Mursi's comments were a message to the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces not to act unilaterally.
"You can't come and say, I choose the government and I sack the government." Its over, the people have emerged," he said. "If you impose a government on me that I don't endorse, you are creating tension in the relationship."
LONDON
Paramedics, emergency crews, teachers and even some employees from the prime minister's office took to the streets of Britain for the country's largest strike in decades — drawing attention to government cuts but failing to bring the nation to a standstill.
Public sector employees staged the one-day walkout Wednesday over government demands that they work longer before receiving a pension and pay more in monthly contributions, part of austerity measures to tackle Britain's 967 billion-pound ($1.5 trillion) debt.
The strike came a day after the government announced that public sector pay raises will be limited to 1 percent through 2014 — even as inflation now runs about 5 percent.
"The government wants us to work longer, pay more and at the end get less. How fair is that?" said Eleanor Smith, president of the UNISON trade union which represents about 1 million health, education and law enforcement staff. Smith joined a picket outside Birmingham Women's Hospital in central England, where she works as a nurse.
Prime Minister David Cameron defended the government's stance in Parliament, insisting that "as people live longer it's only right and only fair that you should make greater contributions."
"I don't want to see any strikes, I don't want to see schools closed, I don't want to see problems at our borders, but this government must make responsible decisions," Cameron told the House of Commons.

Beloved Kansas City weatherman remebered
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Police say Kansas City television meteorologist Don Harman has died. He was 41.
A police report says Harman, who had been a meteorologist at WDAF since 1999, died Tuesday evening at his home in Kansas City. The report listed the cause of death as suicide and said he was found by his wife.
WDAF president and general manager Cheryl McDonald said in a statement Wednesday that Harman was a beloved meteorologist and personality at the station, and that "words cannot express how deeply he will be missed."
Associated Press
The station's website said Harman also worked at stations in Iowa and West Virginia before joining WDAF.

Business raises money for local Willow Center
A group of KU students contacted the owner of the Cupcake Construction Company, Michael Kricsfeld, to organize the event that happened between 5 and 10 p.m. Wednesday.
The Cupcake Construction Company hosted a fundraiser last night for the Willow Domestic Violence Center.
"We had a Facebook group," she said. "We've really taken advantage of social media to try and get all of our friends and family and any students on campus we can possibly get to make it to Cupcake Construction Company."
Aaron Berlin, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., said 15 to 20 percent of the proceeds from each cupcake help the shelter.
