The American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Washington wanted to insure both sides were fully1 committed to peace efforts. The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned2 as illegal recent Israeli plans to build new settlements in East Jerusalem. Barbara Plett reports from New York.
Ban Ki-moon urged restraint in Jerusalem, reminding Israelis and Palestinians of the final status of the city were supposed to be decided3 in negotiations4. He repeated condemnation5 of Israeli plans to build 1,600 new homes for Jewish settlers in the occupied eastern part of the city, stating again that such settlements are illegal under international law.

The President of Mexico Felipe Calderon is visiting the border city of Ciudad Juarez, following the murder on Saturday of a US consular6 worker and two others connected with the American mission. He was greeted by hundreds of demonstrators who said his military campaign against drug traffickers was provoking more violence. From Mexico city, Julian Miglierini reports.
It is in Ciudad Juarez where Mr.Calderon has faced its biggest challenge. The thousands of troops he's deployed7 there have failed to stop the violence that has killed more than 5,000 people in the last three years. Many Juarezs think that the presence of troops has actually made the situation worse. However, Mr.Calderon is adamant8 that his military strategy is the only way forward. The stakes are high since through military aid and political endorsement9, Washington has been his strongest ally in this battle. And that is a support that Mr.Calderon can not afford to lose.

US Treasure Secretary Tim Geithner has warned that unemployment in the United States is unlikely to go down substantially this year. In testimony15 before a Congressional Committee, Mr.Geithner and other senior economic officials set up measures intended to stimulate16 job creation. Our economic correspondent Andrew Walker reports.
The picture they painted to Congress was one of an employment situation that has stabilized17. But it takes 100,000 new jobs a month to make a daunting18 unemployment. Mr.Geithner doesn't expect that to happen this year. In fact, the unemployment rate could rise in the coming month. He set out some proposals intended to help employment. Nonetheless, one member of the Congressional Committee, from President Obama's own Democratic Party said Mr.Geithner's testimony was out-of-touch and left her dismayed. She said there was no sense of urgency about tackling the unemployment problem.

卡尔德龙在华雷斯面临最大的挑战。卡尔德龙派往华雷斯的数千军队未能制止暴力的发生，过去的三年，5,000多人在暴力中丧生。许多华雷斯人认为，军队的出现使形势更加恶劣。然而，卡尔德龙坚持认为，他的军事策略才是取得进展的唯一方法。卡尔德龙的赌注很高，因为华盛顿一直是这场战争中最强的支持者，为墨西哥提供军事援助和政治支持。卡尔德龙绝对不能失去美国的支持。
