Regional weather data available for...KAUNAS VILNIUS


Feed Me..del.icio.us
Bulgaria Population 7 million. Troubled by corruption and political instability. Dozens of people, including 14 police, injured during riots in Sofia last week. Latvia Population 2.2 million. Centre-right government likely to call elections after riots over harsh conditions following IMF bail-out. Lithuania Population 3.5 million. Street clashes and 86 arrests after 7,000 people attended a Vilnius rally called by trade unions to protest at public sector pay cuts, reduced social security payments, an increase in VAT and an end to tax breaks on medicine and home heating. Estonia Population 1.4 million. So far calm, and government has more reserves of cash and public confidence than elsewhere, but a 3.5% contraction in the economy in the third quarter of last year is likely to cause problems. Support for the prime minister, Andrus Ansip, and his government is falling quickly.



Spain lost a million jobs in 2008. Madrid is bracing for 16pc unemployment by year's end. An EU debt union is being created, in breach of EU law. Liabilities are being shifted quietly on to German taxpayers. What happens when Germany's hard-working citizens find out?

Locks of love

It is a recent tradition to put a padlock on the bridge and throw a key into the river in your wedding day... no effect on divorce rates so far. Would love to know if anyone removes the padlocks once couple divorces...
