Ukraine: Weather lady stirs political storm (AP)



In this photo taken Wednesday, May 18, 2011, veteran weather forecaster Lyudmila Savchenko, 58, is seen in her office in Kiev, Ukraine. Savchenko was suspended from the air after telling listeners last week that the warm spring days and blooming flowers are the Ukrainians' compensation 'for the disorder, lawlessness and injustice that are taking place in our country.' She also suggested that the authorities felt disdain for the Ukrainian people and were bullying them. A weather lady who implied in a radio weather forecast that Ukrainian leaders have turned the country into a mess has caused a political storm.
