The Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko has called on his country's Security Council and Parliament to annul1 a law that grants special status to two breakaway regions in the east. The announcement came after the rebels held elections on Sunday in the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk Republics. Polls at the Ukraine and the West have denounced it as illegal but the Russia has backed. Mr. Poroshenko said he'd also mobilized a number of army units to prevent any possible attack by Russian-backed rebels.

The International Monetary2 Fund's own watchdog has criticized the agency saying it called off austerity too soon after the financial crisis.
国际货币基金组织监督部门批评IMF在金融危机后太快取消紧缩政策。
A new report from the IMF's independent valuation office says the advice was less effective in promoting recovery and was detrimental3 to emerging markets. Our economics correspondent Andrew Walker report, explains.
来自国际货币基金组织独立评估办公室的最新报道称，这一决定导致促进经济复苏的政策效果大打折扣，对新兴经济体市场有害。我们的经济事务记者记者Andrew Walker作出了解释。
The report suggested that at the height of the crisis the IMF essentially4 got it right by advising governments to use their budget to stimulate5 a recovery; where the IMF went wrong, the report argues, was encoring for that to be reversed too soon. The report says that much of the research including the IMF's own suggested that government tax and spending policies are particularly effective following a financial crisis. Instead the IMF advised using interest rates and the policy on its quantitative6 easing which, the report argues, were less likely to work.
报道认为，从本质上来说，国际货币基金组织在经济危机最严重的时期建议政府利用预算来刺激经济复苏的决定是正确的。然而，报告指出，IMF的错误之处在于过早地取消紧缩政策。报道指出，包括国际货币基金组织自己的研究在内的大部分研究都表明，金融危机发生之后政府税收和支出政策效果特别显著。然而，国际货币基金组织却建议采用利率和量化宽松政策，可能不会产生什么效果。
The Mexican authorities have captured the fugitive7 mayor and his wife who were suspected of involvement in the disappearance8 of 43 students in the southwestern city of Iguala in late September. Police arrested them in Mexican City. From there our correspondent Will Grant reports.
墨西哥当局逮捕了涉嫌参与9月下旬西南部城市伊瓜拉43名学生失踪一案的逃亡市长及其妻子。警方在墨西哥城将两人逮捕。下面是本台记者Will Grant发回的报道。
Jose Luis Abarca and his wife Maria de los Angeles Pineda disappeared in the days immediately after the 43 students went missing. Now some five weeks after they fled, they have been detained by Federal Police in an early morning operation in Mexican City. The government will hope the arrest shed some light on the whereabouts of missing students and teachers who were last seen in the hands of local police officers. The young people were abducted9 after a protest in Iguala in September. One theory as to the motive10 was that they were disrupting plans the mayor's wife had for an event in the town the following day.
阿瓦尔卡(Jose Luis Abarca)和他的妻子玛丽亚(Maria de los Angeles Pineda)在43名学生失踪后也立即消失。逃亡五个星期后，今天凌晨，他们在墨西哥城被联邦警察逮捕。政府希望此次逮捕能够获得一些关于失踪学生和教师的线索，他们最后被看到是在当地警察的手中。这些年轻人是在9月份伊瓜拉市一场抗议活动后被绑架的。关于犯罪分子绑架他们的动机的一种说法认为，这些人试图破坏市长夫人第二天在该市的活动计划。

The Catalan government has set up another clash with Madrid after Spain's Constitutional Court blocked a vote on independence set for this weekend.

Americans are voting in midterm Congressional elections which may see a switch in the balance of power in Washington.

All the seats in the House of Representatives are being contested.
