The Mexican President Felipe Calderon has delivered his final state of the nation address before leaving office in December. He admitted errors had been made tackling Mexico's drug cartels as Will Grant reports.

President Calderon also recognized his own mistakes and limitations, but overall, he suggested his government to put the foundations in place for improved security in Mexico. 'To protect Mexicans from criminality has been a legal, political and moralimperativefor my government', he said. The policies had begun to bear fruit, but the real results were still to come, he said. Beyond the country's drug violence, Mr Calderon was met with applause for his economic record when he said he'd created nearly two million new jobs in Mexico despite the global economic crisis.

Police in Madagascar say villagers have killed more than 80 cattle thieves in separate attacks in the south of the island. Richard Hamilton reports.

The incident occurred on Friday night near the southern town of Fort-Dapuhin. Police said they'd sent reinforcements to prevent reprisals. Cattle rustling is common in Madagascar, particularly in the arid south of the island, although the casualties are not normally this large. At the center of the conflict are the local humped cattle known as zebu, which have become the target of a bombing criminal trade. The zebu(s) arecovetedas symbols of wealth and social standing. In some communities, a young man even has to steal an animal to prove hismanhoodand win the favor of his in-laws. The stolen zebu then has to be returned to its owner.

Several outfits worn by the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher have soared at auction for more than $115,000. A jade-colored business suit she wore when she was elected leader of the Conservative Party in 1975 fetched almost $40,000. Baroness Thatcher, who's 86, was noted for choosing her clothes to convey power and authority.

在最近抗议中被指控谋杀罪的第一批大量矿工已被法院宣告释放。凯伦·阿伦在约翰内斯堡报道。

人们在庆祝被监禁的抗议矿工获释，感到获得了胜利。这起谋杀指控一度引起群情激愤，目前指控被撤回，至少眼前如此。这件事之所以引起公愤，是因为Marikana矿工因薪酬问题进行抗议，结果34名矿工遭到杀害，检察官援引种族隔离时期的法律，指控另外290名矿工谋杀了同事。而当时的电视视频显示是警察开枪打死了矿工。
