UN envoy employs cautious optimism about Iraq's future
(United Nations) — The top U.N. envoy in Iraq says there are grounds for "cautious optimism" about the country's future if its leader ship is united and there is a stronger spirit of cooperation in the region.
Ad Meltkert told the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday that the key to consolidating and further strengthening "the indisputable gains" in Iraq is the successful implementation of the power sharing agreement reached last November.
That agreement was signed by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Ayad Allawi who leads the Sunni-backed Iraqiya party, and the Kurdish region's President Massoud Barzani. But bickering among Iraq's political leaders has kept the government, seated in December, from appointing new defense, interior and national security ministers.

Japan's damaged nuclear plant stable and shutdown on track
(Tokyo, Japan) — The crippled reactors at Japan's tsunami-hit nuclear power plant have reached stability more than four months since the disaster and the plant is on track for a cold shutdown within six months, the government and plant operator said Tuesday.
While hailing improved U.S.-Indian ties, Clinton also called on New Delhi to ease trade restrictions keeping American firms out of India's massive market and urged the government to quickly resolve a dispute over investments in the nuclear energy.
But her meetings with top Indian officials focused largely on fighting terror, improving ties between nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Her second visit to India as America's top diplomat came less than a week after a triple bombing killed 20 people in India's financial capital of Mumbai, the country's worst terror strike since Pakistani-based gunmen rampaged through the city in 2008.
