Turchinov Named Interim President in Ukraine as Crimea Talks Secession

Parts of Independence Square, in Kiev, turned from defensive positions to memorials, on Sunday. Other parts were slowly being cleaned up by groups of protesters, who had occupied the square since November.

The mood in the city is slowly turning to a much calmer one, but definitely a happier one as the people feel they were successful in seeing their demands met. They remember the eighty-two who lost their lives, during the violence, and also pledge to stay until they ensure they did not die in vain.

On Sunday, parliament named Oleksander Turchinov as interim president, until elections are held on May 25. Expectations are for him to name an interim government, by Tuesday, February 25. Turchinov pledged to move the country back towards an agreement with the European Union. He also expressed his desire for, "new, equal, and good neighborly footing" with Russia. On Monday, members of the EU will meet with him to discuss economic aid for Ukraine.

In the east, several Ukrainian towns witnessed fighting between supporters of the new government and those who still support former president Viktor Yanukovych. Other towns are rejecting both the new and old governments. A crowd in Kerch tore down the town hall's Ukrainian flag and raised a Russian one in it's place. Thousands in Sevastopol and Simferopol protested and demanded that their cities and the rest of Crimea leave Ukraine and join Russia.

The moods in the east and south are causing worry that the fighting isn't yet over. Leaders in Crimea were asking protesters to sign up for militias. They say they need them to protect themselves from Ukraine's government. However, interim president Turchinov says he has no plans to send troops into Crimea and stressed the importance of national unity.

Taliban Fighters Kill 21 Afghan Soldiers in Raid

Twenty-one Afghan soldiers were killed, early Sunday morning, when their outpost was attacked by the Taliban.

12 Killed in Pakistan in Bus Station Bombing

Twelve people were killed when a bomb tore through a bus station in Kohat, Pakistan.

Explosion Strikes Protest in Bangkok

A bomb exploded in Bangkok, Thailand on Sunday, killing two and wounding twenty-four.

It occurred at a busy intersection, right on the edge of a large protest camp.

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was quick to describe it as a terrorist attack and blamed protesters for the action.

Opposition leaders blamed the government for the act, and listed it as one more reason that the government needs to be "destroyed by the people".

It is unclear what was used to cause the explosion, but the government said it was military grade explosives.

In another incident a grenade was thrown at a courthouse, in the city, but it proved to be a dud.

Protests have been going since November, with demands that the prime minister resign, and many demand she and her family leave the country.

They had seemingly been coming to an end, two weeks ago, but then erupted again with violent clashes last week.

Supporters of the government and opposition leaders have turned up the rhetoric, threatening each other with violence and promising to destroy each other.

El Chapo, Mexico's Most Wanted Drug Lord, Arrested in Mazatlan

El Chapo, Mexico's most wanted drug lord, was arrested in Mazatlan, on Saturday.

According to the Mexican government, the operation was assisted by US agencies.

Twelve others were arrested, forty-three vehicles were confiscated, as were a cache of weapons which included a rocket launcher.

The operation is being considered a complete success, as no shots were even fired during it.

Mexico is also saying that this success shows that their strategy is working and proves that they had not signed an agreement with the cartels.

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman had ran the Sinaloa Cartel, considered the most powerful in the world.

Expectations are now that the cartel will be forced to break into smaller groups, as their cohesiveness will be lost.

Some fear that this will lead to an increase in violence as the cartels fight over the territory.

Venezuela Orders Soldiers to End Protests

On Saturday, President Nicolas Maduro ordered Venezuelan soldiers to put down protests against his rule in the state of Tachira.

Hundreds of thousands have joined protests across the country.

Violence has occurred when Maduro supporters and protesters have clashed.

Maduro is using the clashes as an excuse to force an end to the protests, which he blames on foreign agents, specifically the US.

Opposition leaders state that the sending of troops is but one more showing of Maduro's repression of any dissenting voices.

Protests are also beginning to spread world wide, as Venezuelans living abroad massed in various cities to show their support for the main protests in their home country.

Ukraine's Parliament Votes Yanukovych Out of Power as Tymoshenko is Freed

Lviv police stand on stage in Kiev

Protesting crowds turned to cheering in Kiev and other cities in Ukraine as the country's parliament voted President Viktor Yanukovych out of power.

Hours before, Yanukovych fled Kiev, to Kharkiv, as police from Lviv marched into Kiev towards the presidential palace.

The Lviv police, one of three regions which had declared autonomy from Yanukovych's government, were cheered by the protesters who had spent months clashing with Kiev's police force.

Brand new Interior Minister, Ostap Kryvdyk, declared that all of Ukraine's police were with the people and ordered all riot police to stand down.

Parliament also voted to set new elections for May 25. Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who had been imprisoned by Yanukovych for two and a half years, has announced she will be running for president, in the election.

Once safe Kharkiv, Yanukovych denounced his removal, calling it a "Nazi coup", and asked for volunteer militias to form and protect the country and his government. Most of the leaders of his party, especially those who held positions in his government, have announced their resignations and fled Kiev as well, some even seeking refuge in Russia.

Now worries are that the eastern part of Ukraine may unite behind Yanukovych and refuse to recognize another government. This could lead to either a continued conflict or possibly the split of the country.

Russia joined Yaukovych in calling his removal a coup. However, EU delegates, who had been mediating the peace talks, stated that no coup had taken place.
