-W Libyan leader says he will
fight to 'last- drop of blood'
PU RUI XINH UA/AP
People walk through a street scattered with rubble after an earthquake hit Christchurch, New Zealand, yesterday.
Post-quake New Zealand in
state of national emergency
After a week of
protests, Ghadafi
standing firm
CAIRO (AP) - A defiant
Moammar Gadhafi vowed to
fight to his "last drop of blood"
and roared at supporters to strike
back against Libyan protesters to
defend his embattled regime Yes-
terday, signaling an escalation of
the crackdown that has thrown
the capital into scenes of may-
hem, wild shooting and bodies in
the streets.
The speech by the Libyan lead-
er - who shouted and pounded
his fists on the podium - was
an all-out call for his backers to
impose control over the capital
and take back other cities. After
a week of upheaval, protesters
backed by defecting army units
have claimed control over almost
the entire eastern half of Libya's
1,000-mile (1,600-kilometer)
Mediterranean coast, including
several oil-producing areas.
"You men and women who
love Gadhafi ... get out of your
homes and fill the streets," he
said. "Leave, your homes and
attack them in their lairs."
Celebratorygunfire byGadhafi
supporters rang out in the capi-
tal of Tripoli after the leader's
speech, while in protester-held
Benghazi, Libya's second-larg-
est city, people threw shoes at a
screen showinghis address, vent-
ing their contempt.
State TV showed a crowd of
Gadhafi supporters in Tripo-
li's Green Square, raising his
portrait and waving flags as
they swayed to music after the
address. Residents contacted
by The Associated Press said no
anti-government protesters ven-
tured out of their homes after
dark, and gun-toting guards
manned checkpoints with occa-
sional bursts of gunfire heard
throughout the city.
International alarm rose over
the crisis, which sent oil prices
soaring to the highest level in
more than two years on Yester-
day and sparked a scramble by
European and other countries
to get their citizens out of the
North African nation. The U.N.
Security Council held an emer-
gency meeting that ended with
a statement condemning the
crackdown, expressing "grave
concern" and calling for an
"immediate end to the violence"
and steps to address the legiti-
mate demands of the Libyan
people.
Germany Chancellor Angela
Merkel called Gadhafi's speech
"very, very appalling," saying
it "amounted to him declar-
ing war on his own people."
Libya's own deputy ambassador
at the U.N., who now calls for
Gadhafi's ouster, has urged the
world body to enforce a no-fly
zone over the country to protect
protesters.
New Zealand's
worst earthquake in
80 years leaves 75
dead, 300 missing
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zea-
land (AP) - Some screamed from
inside collapsed buildings. One
woman used her mobile phone to
call her children to say goodbye.
Others tapped on the rubble to
communicate with those on the
outside.
Search teams used their bare
hands, dogs, heavy cranes and
earth movers Wednesday to pull
120 survivors from the rubble
of a powerful earthquake in one
of New Zealand's largest cities.
Officials raised the death toll to at
least 75, with 300 others listed as
missing.
As rescuers dug through the
crumbled concrete, twisted metal
and huge mounds of brick across
Christchurch, officials feared that
the death toll could rise further,
ranking the 6.3-magnitude earth-
quake among the island nation's
worst in 80 years.
"There are bodies littering the
streets, they are trapped in cars,
crushed under rubble and where
they are clearly deceased our
focus ... has turned to the living,"
police Superintendent Russell
Gibson said.
Prime Minister John Key said
at a news conference that 75 peo-
ple were confirmed to have been
killed, with 55 of them identified.
He declared a state of national
emergency, giving the govern-
ment wider powers to take control
of a rescue and recovery operation
that was growing by the hour.
Rescuers are concentrating on
at least a dozen buildings that col-
lapsed or were badly damaged.
In one of the worst, a camera
inserted into the rubble showed
images of people still alive, Christ-
church Mayor Bob Parker said. He
said 120 people were rescued from
wrecked buildings, while more
bodies were also recovered.
Some survivors emerged with-
out a scratch, while others had to
have a limb amputatedbefore they
could be freed.
Military units patrolled near-
empty streets disfigured by the
huge cracks and canyons created
in Yesterday's earthquake, the
second powerful temblor to hit
the city in five months. The quake
toppled the spire of the city's his-
toric stone cathedral and flattened
tall buildings.
"People were covered in rubble,
covered in several tons of con-
crete," said web designer Nathan-
iel Boehm, who was outside on
his lunch break when the quake
struck just before 1 pAm. He saw
the eaves of buildings cascade
onto the street, burying people
below. "It was horrific."
Mall worker Tom Brittenden
told of how he had helped pull vic-
tims from the rubble in the imme-
diate aftermath of the quake.
"There was a lady outside we
tried to free with a child," Britten-
den told National Radio. "A big bit
of concrete or brick had fallen on
her and she was holding her child.
She was gone. The baby was taken
away."
The multistory Pyne Gould
Guinness Building, housing
more than 200 workers, col-
lapsed. Rescuers, many of them
office workers, dragged severely
injured people out. Many had
blood streaming down their faces.
Screams could be heard from
those still trapped inside.
The earthquake knocked out
power and telephone lines and
burst pipes, flooding the streets
with water.
Firefighters climbed ladders
to pluck people trapped on roofs
of office towers to safety. Plumes
of gray smoke drifted into the air
from fires burning in the rubble,
and helicopters used giantbuckets
to drench them with water.
The quake even shook off a
massive chunk of ice from the
country's biggest glacier some
120 miles (190 kilometers) east of
Christchurch.
Unions hold protest in Lansing "
Members of unions
defend collective
bargaining rights
to legislators
LANSING, Mich. (AP) -
Hundreds of union members
lobbied Michigan lawmakers
yesterday to vote against mea-
sures they say would threaten
collective bargaining rights,
while smaller groups of activ-
ists rallied outside the state
Capitol against a variety of bud-
get proposals including those
that would eliminate some
tax exemptions and cut school
funding,.
The protests likely will
become frequent now that
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder
has rolled out his budget pro-
posal for the fiscal year that
starts Oct. L. Lawmakers plan to
adopt a budget by late spring or
early summer.
"You have point-counter-
point going on, a little bit, in
front of the Capitol," Snyder
said yesterday, less than a week
after detailing his budget plan
to the Legislature. "This is part
of democracy. I just hope we do
it in a civilized fashion and have
an open dialogue."
Some of the protesters at yes-
terday's Michigan event said
they were inspired partly by
what's happening in Wiscon-
sin, where thousands have been
protesting at the state Capi-
tol for more than a week. The
main spark in Wisconsin has
been Gov. Scott Walker's pro-
posal to eliminate most collec-
tive bargaining rights for public
employees.
Snyder has been careful to
avoid similar showdowns in
Michigan, repeatedly saying he
will collectively bargain chang-
es he wants - including state
employee concessions of about
$180 million.
"We're two very different
states," Snyder said. ". . . It's
not confrontational with the
unions. It's about how we do
collective bargaining to achieve
a mutual outcome where we
all benefit.... I believe that's
an atmosphere we have in this
state and that's the approach
I'm taking to addressing these
issues."
Snyder also said yesterday
that some of the proposals
backed by Republicans in the
Legislature - including those
that would allow "right to work"
zones and eliminate so-called
"prevailing wage" laws for pub-
licly financed construction proj-
ects - aren't on his agenda or
high priorities.
