While a sea of protestors were carpeting the Tahrir Square, about 1,000 people gathered near the foreign ministry to support Mubarak, saying he is the only man who is capable of keeping the society stable amid the turmoil.Supporters shouted "Yes, Mubarak," played music and raised a police officer when marching along the Nile."The opposition parties do not want our life back to normal unless Mubarak leaves, but what will happen after that? Obviously chaos," said a tourist guide who gave his name Muhamed. "I have to arm with knifes at night, for the first time in my life, to protect my family and neighbors. Definitely we need reforms, but we do not want changes that deprive us of peaceful life."For the past few days, Egyptians have not agreed on Mubarak's future fate. Hundreds of thousands are protesting, but many others believe Mubarak shouldn't depart unless he restores the country's stability."Those people are just giving the opportunity to people like ElBaradei to make use of us. Mubarak should leave after his period is over," said a 23-year-old protester.Conflicts among people of different interests occurred at some check points. "We want to go to work. Can't you people understand? " shouted a man to anti-government crowds.Unlike last Friday's protests, there has been little police presence in streets Tuesday, giving protesters a wider freedom to express their opinions without tear gas or water canons. To prevent disturbance of social order, local groups took over the streets, checking luggage and people's IDs.Egypt endured another day of halt to normal life as the protest entered the second week. Trains stopped running Monday. The internet remained shutdown on its fifth day. Banks, stock markets and most businesses were closed.Storage racks for bread, milk, edible oil and local fruits were almost empty in Cairo's supermarkets as people tried to replenish their stores for fear that the chaos could continue and prices could rise.Tourism, a crucial source of Egypt's revenue, was hit hard by the protest. Many tour agencies have suspended services and the EgyptAir has cancelled flights during the government-imposed curfew which has been extended from 3 p.m. (1300 GMT) to 8 a.m. ( 0600 GMT).Some foreign firms suspended their activities due to paralyzed internet and lack of workers in the unrest.

A 67-year-old mental patient, whom other inmates call "Teacher Gao", has lived at the center for 12 years, ever since her son went to college in Hebei province. She said the idea of family reunions should be expanded."What matters in Spring Festival reunions is not a physical gathering among family members but a sense of belonging, where groups of people share common understanding and personal warmth," she said.Gao tried to take her own life twice due to the loneliness she suffered after her son took a job in Canada five years ago. However, living in the center under the care of professional psychologists has lifted her spirits.Gao is among 103 patients who live under the care of 30 professional psychologists and general doctors at the Red Cross center.e center, founded in 2000 with an initial investment of 800,000 yuan ($121,500), was China's first national elderly care center to accept elderly patients with mental disorders."Conventional elderly care centers reject people with mental disorders because they are deemed to be potential threats to other patients," said Li Lizhu, director of the center, who won the title of National Star of Commonweal in 2009."However, people with senile mental disorders are the most fragile group. They need both special medical services and humane care from society."I have spent every Spring Festival for the past 10 years with these elderly patients, and being able to provide them with a sense of family also warms my heart," said Li. "People's attitudes have changed, and Spring Festival celebrations have expanded." Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak pledged Tuesday that he would not run for the presidency again in his speech to the nation which fell into chaos after eight days of anti-government demonstrations demanding an end of the president's 30-year rule.In his speech on Tuesday night, Mubarak said that he does not intend to run for another term after massive anti-government protests shook the country for the past eight days.Mubarak said that he will work in the last months of his term to ensure a smooth transfer of power."My main responsibility is to ensure stability, and in the next few months I will work on the country's stability," he added.The president announced that he would seek constitutional change, which controls the criteria of the candidacy of the next president."I am a military man who served this country during war and peace and I will die on the soil of Egypt," Mubarak said.Egyptian dissident and former International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohammed ElBaradei said Tuesday via Al Arabia channel that Mubarak's speech did not meet people's demand, and he urged the immediate resignation of Mubarak.Hundreds of thousands of protesters flooded downtown Cairo since Tuesday morning for a "march of one million," while other groups of smaller scales were calling for resumption of social order under leadership of the embattled president.Demonstrators shouting slogans "Oust Mubarak" gathered in Tahrir Square, the center of protests, as the opposition parties called for a general strike and a one-million-people march to the presidential palace after a week of unrest in the country, as the army stood still to protect the people.But Xinhua reporters said protesters remained in the Tahrir Square, while the presidential palace area was tightly protected by the army and remained calm.Mubarak reshuffled his government on Monday in an attempt to defuse the week-long protest against his regime, but protesters rejected the changes and said he must surrender power.Despite opposition parties' called for an indefinite strike and a one-million-people march to the presidential palace, some Egyptian intellectuals distributed leaflets among protestors, urging people to stay away from "violence" and "chaos."

One of the detained suspects, 21-year-old Serum Abdullah, had even asked for investigators to let him stay in the Republic of Korea (ROK), Dong-A Ilbo newspaper reported, citing a police investigator."Other Somali suspects also said the jail in Republic of Korea was better than decent hotels in Africa," the investigator was quoted as saying.Another unidentified suspect told Yonhap news agency: "Korean food was better than I thought and the bed was comfortable. Republic of Korea seems to be a good country."A maritime police spokesman in the southern city of Busan said the Somalis were receiving "humane treatment" including extra heating and clothes to cope with a bitter cold spell.Members of a Somali pirate gang taken to the Republic of Korea after a high-seas commando raid prefer the quality of their jailhouse accommodation to life back home, a report said Tuesday.

NATO was not impressed by Russia's military performance after two large maneuvers in 2009 because its forces relied on aging equipment, lacked transport and suffered from manpower shortages, according to a leaked US diplomatic cable.Russia's armed forces would be able to respond only to a small-to-mid-sized local conflict in the country's western regions, according to a cable from the US mission to NATO released Monday on the WikiLeaks secret-spilling site. The maneuvers demonstrated they would not be able to fight in two small conflicts simultaneously or to mount larger-scale operations, the US cable said, citing a report by NATO's military staff.The documents also claimed that Russia's army and air force could not cooperate properly and lacked all-weather capability.The NATO report followed two large maneuvers, codenamed Ladoga and Zapad, in Russia's western regions during 2009. They were intended to test the Russian military after its lightning 2008 victory over Georgia.The operation, in which Georgia's US-trained army was demolished within a week after it tried to invade the breakaway province of South Ossetia, set off alarm bells in NATO nations bordering Russia.At the time, eastern European diplomats expressed extreme concern over the Russian army's lightning response to a surprise attack by Georgian forces on the province's capital. The NATO report appeared to be an effort to reassure its allies in eastern Europe."The exercises (in 199) demonstrated that Russia has limited capability for joint operations with air forces, continues to rely on aging and obsolete equipment, lacks all-weather capability and strategic transportation means, ... has an officer corps lacking flexibility, and has a manpower shortage," the cable said.The document was signed off by US ambassador Ivo Daalder.The report claimed the Russian military still appeared prepared to use short-range battlefied nuclear weapons even in small conflicts. Russia is believed to have over 1,000 tactical nuclear warheads in its arsenal. These are not banned under international treaties.NATO has condemned the release of the secret diplomatic cables by WikiLeaks. It regularly refuses to comment on their veracity.Relations between NATO and Moscow hit a post-Cold War low after the Russo-Georgian war. But they have improved significantly since President Barack Obama announced a "reset" of US-Russia ties in 2009.Today, the two sides cooperate closely in the war in Afghanistan, where Russia provides a vital overland supply link for NATO forces. The alliance and Moscow also work closely on counter-piracy and anti-terrorist operations, and the two sides are considering setting up a joint anti-missile shield.

When she makes her decision, she will either allow the trial to proceed as prosecutors requested, or she could ask for research into the charges, or she could decide that her court does not have jurisdiction.Berlusconi has faced at least 17 official criminal and civil allegations since he first burst onto the Italian political scene in 1994, but these charges could cause serious problems both because pollsters say the accusations are resonating with a weary Italian public and because the case appears to be constructed to make a conviction more likely.The investigation got underway in December on allegations that the 74-year-old Berlusconi paid for sex with a Moroccan-born cabaret dancer named Karima el Mahrough, best known by her stage name "Ruby." She was 17 at the time.Prosecutors also charge that Berlusconi tried to use his influence to have el Mahrough released from prison, where she was being held on charges of theft.Berlusconi reportedly lied to police to claim that el Mahrough was the niece of then Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and that they should release her in order to avoid a diplomatic crisis.The United States and China should address their currency issue "cooperatively," says the director of the US National Economic Council.A sharp adjustment of the exchange rate will not serve China or the United States but tensions between the two countries would accumulate if the mark remains unchanged, Lawrence Summers said Sunday at the Harvard-China Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises Conference."It will be the task of our governments to navigate in this turbulent water," said Summers, who is also a former president of Harvard University.Summers said he was encouraged by the recent appreciation of the Chinese yuan and expected the trend to continue in the near future.

McDonald's Corp, the world's largest restaurant company, may raise prices at its China outlets in the second half of the year, said Tim Fenton, president for Asia, the Middle East and Africa.Prices may be raised "towards the third or fourth quarter", Fenton said in an interview on Monday. "As a rule, we look at raising prices anywhere from 50 percent to 60 percent" of the inflation rate.China's inflation in January may be 4.9 percent, "lower than the market consensus", according to Li Jun, a strategist at Central China Securities Co in Shanghai. McDonald's, which trails Yum! Brands in the number of stores in China, raised the prices of its burgers, drinks and snacks in November."Our price increase will be modest. It will be lower than the inflationary index to maintain our competitive edge there in China," said Fenton, who opened a record 165 stores in the world's most-populous nation in 2010 and plans 175 to 200 new outlets this year. "We're able to leverage our suppliers."China's statistics bureau, which is due to release January economic data on Tuesday, declined to comment on the inflation rate when called.Inflation in China this year may be 4.55 percent, according to the median forecast of 12 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.McDonald's rose 0.5 percent to $76.14 at the 4 pm close of trading in New York on Feb 11. The stock has gained 20 percent in the past year, lagging behind the Standard & Poor's 500 Index's 24 percent increase.There are about 1,300 McDonald's restaurants in China, and the company aims to have at least 2,000 by 2013. "We have over 50 percent of new restaurant development" for McDonald's, Fenton said, referring to Asia, the Middle East and Africa.McDonald's won't accelerate the introduction of menu items catering for local tastes in China, Fenton said. "We do have various chicken products that you really won't find in other parts of the world but the 80-20 rule still applies: 80 percent of our revenue comes from 20 percent of our products."Chinese banking authorities have started a pilot program at China Merchants Bank (CMB) to liberalize its deposit rates as the nation accelerates its step to float interest rates, a source familiar with the matter told China Daily.CMB is the only major commercial bank chosen for the trial, among a few small-scale city commercial banks, largely because it has sound innovation abilities to counter risks, as the reform would see deposit rates increase and the net interest margin shrink, said the source, who did not wish to be identified owing to the sensitivity of the matter.The pilot program began two months ago, the source said.Mainly targeting insurance companies and big companies that usually have fixed large deposits in banks, the central bank is working on a price-bidding system for deposits with a maturity of no more than five years among pilot banks before extending it to other financial institutions that would be allowed to set interest rates freely in accordance with the market situation."Among deposit rates, those for corporate agreement deposits (contracted savings between banks and their clients) with maturity of more than five years are already liberalized. The system is aiming to open up pricing limits for the short- and medium-term deposits," said the source.China will liberalize market-oriented interest rates by allowing qualified financial institutions to price their products in the next five years, and set up a mature mechanism to guarantee a concerted application of the central bank's monetary stance, said Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People's Bank of China, at a forum in December."During the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015), we expect to see significant progress in interest-rate liberalization," he said, adding that most lending rates in the country have already been liberalized but limits on deposit rates need to be further freed.Wu Zhengzhang, chief representative of Shenzhen Development Bank, Beijing Branch, said the central bank is always cautious about any new move, and the pilot program should be conducted within the scope of small banks that have fewer clients and would see limited repercussions if problems were to occur.

Energy service companies will also be exempted from income tax from the first year they earn income to the third year. The tax rate for these companies is half of the normal rate of 25 percent, from the fourth year to the sixth.An energy service company is a business that provides energy management services to an energy user.Those providing contracted services are entitled to tax exemptions.The PBOC actively participated in international and regional anti-money laundering organizations.In June 2007, China became a member of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an inter-governmental body to promote government policies to combat money laundering.The report said the central bank would further improve the laws and regulations and supervise financial institutions to guard against money laundering.It would also enhance cooperation with other countries to monitor cross-border capital flows in order to effectively prevent money laundering.
