Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:10:02 +0100 (Reuters) - A demonstrator waves Romania's national flag during a protest against the government at Universitatii square in central Bucharest January 27, 2012. Thousands of Romanians staged two weeks of protests across the country, with demonstrations expected to continue as anger mounts over austerity measures and falling living standards. The occasionally violent demonstrations were initially sparked by the resignation of a popular deputy health minister but quickly spread to demand President Traian Basescu and Prime Minister Emil Boc resign.

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:40:02 +0100 (Reuters) - Demonstrators hold Romania's national flags during a protest at Victoriei square in front of Romania's government headquarters in central Bucharest January 24, 2012. Thousands of Romanians rallied in Bucharest on Tuesday to demand the government resign over its tough austerity measures, the latest in a wave of protests that have led to some concessions but no change in policy. The hardship caused by austerity measures passed in 2010 to keep a 20 billion euro International Monetary Fund-led bailout on track has until recently provoked little unrest, though the ruling party's popularity has slumped, only months before a parliamentary election.

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:20:02 +0100 (AP) - FILE - In this Friday, Aug. 20, 2010 file photo, an Iranian security guard walks past a gate of the Bushehr nuclear power plant as its reactor building is seen in background, just outside the city of Bushehr 750 miles (1,245 kilometers) south of the capital Tehran, Iran. The last time Iran's nuclear envoys held talks with the U.S. and other world powers, the negotiations limped along until a parting shot by the Islamic Republic: Its labs boosted the enrichment levels of uranium in reply to demands for a full-scale freeze.
