Police have fired tear gas and water cannon at one of Malaysia's biggest demonstrations in years. Protesters are demanding an overhaul of voter lists and other electoral policies which they say are unfair ahead of national polls in Malaysia expected within months. They say the current system favours the ruling party. Police opened fire when some of the protesters tried to break through barriers in the centre of the capital Kuala Lumpur. Police said more than 200 people were arrested. This man said demonstrators were attacked without provocation.

"They fired a shot at us. Instead of saying sorry - we knew it was an accidental shot - they shot some more. OK, we were supposed to talk and make peace, and they shot at us."
“他们向我们开枪,根本不说声抱歉,我们知道这是无意开枪,他们还继续开了几枪。好了,我们本该和平对话,而如今他们把枪口对准我们。”
Bomb disposal experts have defused what police described as a huge bomb close to the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The device was discovered fully assembled in an abandoned van near the Northern Irish town of Newry. A smaller bomb and a weapons cache were also found in Belfast on Friday night. Dissident republicans opposed to the peace process are suspected of being behind both devices.
