Civil Court Issues Mixed Verdict on Thailand’s State of Emergency

BANGKOK — A civil court Wednesday upheld the Thai government’s emergency decree, which allowed authorities to detain protestors and hold them for a month without charges. But the judges warned the government against using the state of emergency as a pretext to use force against anti-government demonstrators.

The government declared a 60-day emergency period from January 21 amid continuing protests against it.

It is not immediately clear what impact the court’s ruling will have on arrest warrants issued for protest leaders accused of violating the state of emergency.

New Jersey towns lacking salt due to American flag

Heavy equipment operator Kelly Von Ellingtton, of Egg Harbor Township, N.J., loads salt onto his truck at the Atlantic County Department of Public Works in Northfield, N.J. last month. There is a statewide salt shortage due to the heavy snowstorms already this winter.

State transportation officials say a 40,000-ton shipment of rock salt, badly needed across the state, cannot make its planned shipment from Maine to Newark because the ship does not have an American flag.

Robbie Savage: How Arsenal turned the tables on Liverpool

Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker celebrates their FA Cup victory over Liverpool

In his regular BBC Sport column, Robbie Savage looks at Arsenal's thrilling FA Cup win over Liverpool.

This was a classic cup tie played at a high tempo and it was great to watch. Arsenal needed to produce a response after they were thrashed 5-1 by Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League last week, and they did exactly that.
The Gunners had to battle hard to reach the sixth round but they did so through a combination of defensive resilience, some bad misses by Liverpool and a terrible decision by referee Howard Webb, which denied the Reds their second penalty of the match.
If Daniel Sturridge had taken his early chances, the game would have been very different but Arsenal scoring first meant Arsene Wenger's line-up was well suited to their task.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored one and set up the other as Arsenal earned a degree of revenge on Liverpool to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The Gunners, thrashed 5-1 at Anfield in the Premier League last week, led when Oxlade-Chamberlain guided in a loose ball after 16 minutes.
The England winger provided the cross for Lukas Podolski to fire in from 15 yards at the start of the second half.
Steven Gerrard converted a penalty but Liverpool could not force an equaliser.
However, the visitors felt they should have been awarded the opportunity to level from the spot when Luis Suarez was sent tumbling inside the Arsenal area by Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Venezuela president expels three US consular officials

EU to start sending troops to Central African Republic next month

By RFI
Several European Union countries will start deploying troops to the Central African Republic next month, according to France’s junior minister for European affairs.

Thierry Repentin said “several hundred troops from several European Union countries” will hit the ground in a few weeks.
The EU’s foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, announced on Friday that the 28-member bloc planned to send 500 soldiers to the strife-torn country, with the possibility of doubling the number of troops, without giving a specific timeline.
France announced on the same day it will send an extra 400 soldiers, boosting troop numbers to 2,000. Around 5,400 African troops are also on the ground as part of an African Union-mandated peacekeeping force.
Besides France, five other European Union countries have proposed a "substantial" contribution to the EU mission.
Diplomats say Georgia, anxious to cement good ties with the EU, could also supply up to 100 soldiers.
Ashton has also approached Turkey for a contribution to the mission, a Turkish official said in Ankara on Sunday.
Spain is among other countries that may offer logistical, material or financial aid.

Florida 'loud-music' murder trial's verdict evokes mixed reactions

(CNN) -- It was a hot-button trial that drew comparisons to the proceedings against George Zimmerman in the killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. The outcome, however, was vastly different.

The jury in the case of Michael Dunn found him guilty Saturday night on four charges, including three of attempted second-degree murder, but they couldn't reach a verdict on the most significant charge -- first-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis. The decision came on the
