Japan agrees funding and tax cuts
Japan's cabinet has agreed to provide 1.81 trillion yen ($17bn; £9bn) to stimulate the economy, in what analysts say could be the prelude to elections.
The money is intended to help Japan cope with high energy and food prices at a time of global financial turmoil.
Prime Minister Taro Aso also promised tax cuts and urged the opposition Democrats to support his plans.
Mr Aso's government is less than a week old, and the Japanese economy is on the brink of recession.

'Drug killings' hit Mexican city
Police investigate the scene where 12 bodies were discovered
The authorities in the Mexican border city of Tijuana have found 16 bodies in 24 hours, in what police believe is part of a wave of drug-related murders.
Twelve of the bodies were found on a patch of wasteland near a school just before it opened. Most showed signs of having been bound and tortured.
A wave of murders linked to the drug trade has claimed the lives of more than 3,000 people in Mexico this year.

Women 'lose out' in top jobs race
The number of women holding senior posts in politics, the law and the media has fallen compared with last year, a report suggests.
Research by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) says that in 12 of 25 job categories studied, there were fewer women holding top posts.
Women's representation had increased in eight areas, including company directors and the civil service.
The EHRC said some women face a concrete ceiling, not a glass one.

Damages for parents in care case
|
A British couple whose two-month-old daughter was taken into care after a "misguided" suspicion of abuse have been awarded £8,000 in compensation. The European Court of Human Rights ruled their rights had been infringed because they had no legal redress for the loss of their child. The girl, from Oldham, was taken into care in 1998 after breaking her leg. |

"Mid-February is looking to be a reasonable timeframe to do that," said Preston Burch, the Hubble manager at Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Center where telescope operations are overseen.
Nasa says the problem is in a box known as the Science Instrument Command and Data Handling (SIC&DH) Unit, and affects the functions carried out by its Science Data Formatter - Side A.
