1. Hue and cry leads govt to dilute powers for caretakers

• Following vociferous opposition from allies and opposition alike to its plan to grant greater powers to the caretaker government, a diluted version of amendments which would allow the interim set-up to take major policy decisions regarding multilateral and bilateral projects was approved by parliament on Wednesday.

At one point, PTPs Senator Mohsin Aziz pointed out a lack of quorum in an effort to stall the government`s move, but the speaker declared the house in order after a head count. At the time of the voice vote, three members of the opposition PTI were also present in the House, but they too remained silent, perhaps realising that their shouting would have no impact on the final outcome

• One of the world`s longest ruling leaders, Hun Sen made the announcement days after his Cambodian Peoples Party (CPP) won 120 of 125 parliamentary seats in a general election from which all serious opponents were banished.
• `I met the king, and declared I won`t continue the position as prime minister anymore,` Hun Sen said in a nationally televised address

8. Niger president taken captive in `coup attempt`

• Presidential guards were holding Niger President Mohamed Bazoum inside his palace in the capital Niamey on Wednesday in what neighbouring countries called an attempted coup, but which the presidency described as an `anti-republican` movement `in vain`.
