Plans crumble for new leadership in Haiti

A PLAN to install new leadership regime in Haiti appeared to be crumbling on Wednesday as some political parties rejected the plan to create a presidential council that would manage the transition.

The violence has closed schools and businesses and disrupted daily life across Haiti.
