Putin says raids are to check foreign funding

MOSCOW -- Russian authorities are raiding nongovernmental organizations to make sure they comply with a law intended to stem foreign meddling in Russian politics, President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.

Activists have criticized the sweeping searches of as many as 2,000 NGOs across the country as an attempt by the Kremlin to intimidate its critics. France and Germany have summoned Russia's ambassadors to explain the searches, while the U.S., Britain and the EU have expressed concern.

U.N. OKs intervention force for Congo

UNITED NATIONS -- The U.N. Security Council authorized a new "intervention <a href=http://www.onlinehermesoutlet.com/hermes-birkin/81-hermes-birkin-bag-35-saddle-brown-silver.html>Hermes Birkin Bag 35 Saddle Brown Silver</a> brigade" for Congo <a href=http://www.onlinehermesoutlet.com/hermes-birkin-30cm/69-hermes-birkin-handbag-ostrich-stripe-black-silver.html>Hermes Birkin Handbag Ostrich Stripe Black Silver</a> on Thursday with an unprecedented mandate to take military action against rebel groups to help bring peace to the country's conflict-wracked east.

The resolution states <a href=http://www.onlinehermesoutlet.com/hermes-birkin-30cm/455-hermes-birkin-handbag-ostrich-stripe-tan-silver.html>Hermes Birkin Handbag Ostrich Stripe Tan Silver</a> clearly that it would be established for one year "on an exceptional basis and without creating a precedent" to the principles of U.N. peacekeeping.

Italy's center-left leader fails to form government

MILAN -- Italy remained in political gridlock Thursday after the center-left leader announced he had failed to form a government.

Pier Luigi Bersani, who has been talking with parties <a href=http://www.onlinehermesoutlet.com/hermes-birkin/446-hermes-birkin-bag-violet-golden.html>Hermes Birkin Bag Violet Golden</a> since Friday, expressed some bitterness when he told reporters at the president's office in Rome that he found "unacceptable" attempts by some parties to set "preclusions and conditions."

The next move belongs to President Giorgio Napolitano, who will hold a day of consultations today, the president's secretary-general, Donato Marra, said.

Pistorius allowed to leave country to compete

PRETORIA, South Africa -- Oscar Pistorius could compete at this year's <a href=http://www.onlinehermesoutlet.com/hermes-birkin/481-hermes-birkin-handbag-ostrich-stripe-purple-golden.html>Hermes Birkin Handbag Ostrich Stripe Purple Golden</a> world championships after a South African judge eased his bail restrictions and ruled Thursday that the <a href=http://www.onlinehermesoutlet.com/hermes-birkin-30cm/452-hermes-birkin-handbag-ostrich-stripe-brown-golden.html>Hermes Birkin Handbag Ostrich Stripe Brown Golden</a> athlete, who faces a murder trial in the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, can travel overseas to run.

The international athletics body said that if Pistorius qualifies, it had no objections to him running -- an event that could eclipse the stir last year when he became the first double amputee to compete at the Olympics.

Mandela responds positively to treatment

JOHANNESBURG -- A lung infection that has plagued Nelson Mandela has struck again, prompting doctors to admit the 94-year-old former president to a hospital late at night.

South Africa's presidency said Thursday that the anti-apartheid leader was responding well to treatment and the medical team was acting with extreme caution because of his advanced age.

The Nobel laureate was admitted late Wednesday to a hospital in Pretoria.
