US leaves consulate as China deadline passes

BBC World Service - Newsday, US leaves consulate as China deadline passes

The deadline has passed for American diplomats to quit their embassy in the Chinese city of Cheng Du. The order, made by Beijing, was in response to the US ordering the closure of China's embassy in Texas.

Since 2014 the eastern part of Ukraine has been the location of a deadly tussle between Moscow, Kiev and its Western allies over the breakaway Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Numerous ceasefires have come and gone, and over the weekend another agreement was signed.

Today a prominent opposition figure is expected to return to Tanzania, three years after surviving an assassination attempt. Tundu Lissu is one of the leading figures of the Chadema party, and has said he wants to run for President in the upcoming Tanzanian elections.
