Ukraine crisis: 'No breakthrough' in Putin-EU talks
The presidents of Russia and Ukraine have held talks with the EU, but there has been no apparent breakthrough on how to end the crisis in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin and Petro Poroshenko said outlines of a deal on agas disputehad been agreed. "We have agreed on the main parameters of the contract," Mr Poroshenko said. Mr Putin said there was "progress" on the issue but that questions remained on how Kiev would pay its huge gas debts to Moscow.
The gas row came amid worsening relations between the two countries, after Russia's annexation of the Crimean peninsula in March and the seizure by separatists of parts of eastern Ukraine a month later. More than 3,600 people have been killed since the fighting erupted in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in April.
Ukraine and the rebels agreed a truce in September in Minsk, Belarus, but each side accuses the other of repeated shelling.
The talks took place on the sidelines of the two-day Asia-Europe (Asem) summit in Milan, Italy, which brings together more than 50 member states. Participants in the meeting on Friday morning included UK Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.
Mr Putin and Mr Poroshenko then held a second round of meetings, where Ms Merkel and Mr Hollande were present. Later in the day, the Ukrainian and Russian leaders had separate bilateral talks. Mr Poroshenko was quoted as saying that, apart from the gas issue, two things had been agreed at the second meeting:
· That all the clauses of the Minsk memorandum should be implemented
· That elections should be allowed to take place in Donetsk and Luhansk.

The Job and Duties of a Diplomat
Diplomats do a very important job for their countries. Almost every country in existence has at least a few diplomats who are sent out to various other countries for the purposes of negotiating and mediating relations between the two governments. The main meeting place for diplomats between the USA and other countries is at the United Nations building in New York City, but they occur in embassies all over the world, and between most nations. The duties of a diplomat include many things, which will be outlined here. It is good for people to understand foreign policy, because very often it can play an important role in the news.
A diplomat lives in the country that he is trying to communicate with. He will usually live in the embassy of his country. For example, if the USA wants to send a diplomat to China, the diplomat will most likely reside in the American embassy. They are placed in strategic locations that are close to many local government buildings, allowing all of the American diplomats to quickly establish contact and begin their jobs of speaking with the foreign rulers. They are also granted something called diplomatic immunity to protect them while in a foreign country, and to allow them to do their job well.
Usually a diplomat’s main goal is to simply maintain good relations with the country in question. By speaking with the leaders and establishing a friendly relationship, a diplomat not only establishes himself as a trustworthy person, but also builds trust in his own country. This could even be for the ultimate goal of establishing a treaty or becoming allies. Usually much of the communications will cover issues such as foreign aid, and what exactly watch country expects of the other. If done correctly, diplomacy is a great way for countries to get every single issue out on the table and establish a great relationship.

Libya violence: Western powers urge cessation
The US and four European allies - Britain, France, Germany and Italy - have called for an immediate end to the fighting in Libya. In a statement, they said there was "no military solution" to the crisis.
Dozens of people have recently been killed in the eastern city of Benghazi in fighting between Islamist rebels and government forces. Libya has been in a state of flux since Colonel Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011.
The statement said that Libya's hard-fought freedom was at risk if country continued to be a safe haven for Libyan and international terrorist groups. It continued, saying that the country's security challenges could only be addressed by regular armed forces accountable to a democratic government. It also expressed concern over an operation started on Wednesday by retired general Khalifa Haftar against Islamist rebels. Islamist militant groups including Ansar al-Sharia, listed as a terrorist organization by countries including the US, have been battling government forces.
