Cairo Protesters Provoked by Mubarak's Speech
Despite Tuesday's million-strong march in Cairo, Hosni Mubarak is
refusing to step down. In a televised speech, the Egyptian
leader announced he would not run for reelection but stopped short of
immediate resignation. The protests are likely to continue -- and grow.

Yemeni President Promises to Quit in 2013
Protests in Tunisia and Egypt have inspired the opposition movement in
Yemen, which has now scored a significant success. Yemeni President Ali
Abdullah Saleh announced that he would not try to extend his presidency
past 2013. But the opposition plans to go ahead with a "day of rage" on
Thursday.

'Terror Warnings Are Risky for Every Interior Minister'
German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière on Tuesday ordered that the
police presence in the country, beefed up due to terror concerns last

leading German commentators to wonder whether such warnings are
effective.

Denmark to Build Underwater Link to Germany
Denmark wants to build a tunnel under the Fehmarn Belt, the 18-kilometer
strait between Germany and Denmark, at a cost of over 5 billion euros.
The project took a big step forward on Tuesday when the Danish
parliament agreed to move ahead with the plans. But locals on the German
side are unhappy about the project.
