Weather lady in Ukraine stirs political storm...


A weather forecaster for Ukrainian state radio has caused something of a storm herself by veering from meteorological to political observations.

Lyudmila Savchenko was taken off the air after telling listeners last week that warm spring days and blooming flowers were Ukrainians' compensation "for the disorder, lawlessness and injustice that are taking place in our country." She also suggested that authorities felt disdain for the Ukrainian people.

Now, the country's top opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko is calling Savchenko a hero. The opposition faction in parliament is urging the National Radio Company to reinstate her, and even pro-government parliament speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn says he supports the call.

President Viktor Yanukovych's office declined to comment on the matter. More...
