Zelaya also hints that he came to Tegucigalpa in part because he and his leftist allies in the region, including Chavez, felt the U.S. has been too tepid in trying to leverage Micheletti. (The Obama Administration has cut off some $30 million in aid to Honduras as well as visas, and has threatened not to recognize the presidential election results if Zelaya is not returned to office by then.) "President Obama and Secretary of State [Hillary] Clinton have made a great effort, and I realize they live in a democracy with limits on their actions," he says...

So far, retired workers have been asked to accept half their pension payments; the airline also plans to cut 14% of the workforce (about 6,800 jobs) over the next three years and to suspend or reduce tens of international and domestic routes. That's not enough, however. JAL reportedly needs more than $1 billion just to continue services into next year. So Nishimatsu has been forced...
