MUST READS FROM ALL OVER
EXCLUSIVE
1. Bill Clinton Backs No-Fly Zone
At Newsweek and The Daily Beast's second annual Women in the World
summit, former President Bill Clinton spoke candidly about his views on
Libya - his support for a no-fly zone is at odds with the Obama
administration and his wife. Clinton also blasted Rep. Peter King's
Muslim hearings and reflected on why we've never had a female president.

DISASTER
2. 8.9 Quake, 23-Foot Tsunami Hit Japan
A powerful 8.9 offshore quake hit Japan on Friday, sending a massive
tsunami into the Pacific. A tsunami warning is now in effect for the
entire Pacific, including the U.S. West Cost, Canada, and Alaska, and
South America. In Japan, boats, cars, homes, and people were swept away,
and fires burned in its wake. At least 60 people were killed and dozens
more were injured. The wave is reported to have been 23 feet, and sent
boats, trucks, and burning buildings miles inland, slamming debris into
overpasses, before receding. The Daily Beast's Lennox Samuels on the
aftermath.

FOREIGN POLICY
3. White House Increases Pressure on Gaddafi
The White House announced Thursday a new plan to oust Libya's embattled
leader, Col. Muammar Gaddafi, but still stopped short of committing
military to the region. This response contradicts President Obama's
chief intelligence officer's comments earlier Thursday about Gaddafi,
saying that, "over the longer term …the regime will prevail." The White
House has a five-point plan to isolate Gaddafi - including partially
embracing the rebels as well as making threats to track and prosecute
Gaddafi's army for war crimes. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said
she will meet with Libyan opposition leaders next week as well.
Meanwhile, NATO deferred their decision about sending forces in until at
least next week. European leaders have also been mixed about how to
react.

ROUND TWO
4. GOP Preps Another $6B in Cuts
At this rate, the GOP will reach their goal of $61 billion in cuts by
the end of the year. House Republicans are working on another round of
budget cuts to attach to a measure that would keep the federal
government running for another three weeks. The cuts are expected to be
mostly earmarks, as Republicans put off intensely partisan proposed cuts
like the defunding public broadcasting or Planned Parenthood, though
Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID) says there has been pressure to add more
contentious cuts. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers
(R-KY) said Republicans will continue to cut $2 billion for every week
they extend government funding until a longer-term budget is passed.

UNREST
5. Saudi Arabia Protest Turns Violent
Protests in Saudi Arabia turned violent when police officers opened fire
on marchers in the eastern city of Qatif. Witnesses dispute whether
police fired over people's heads or directly into the crowd, but at
least three people were injured in the skirmish, including a police
officer. A video posted online allegedly from Qatif showed a group of
protesters chanting "The people want the release of the prisoners" and
"Our protest is peaceful; Sunni and Shiites are brothers; we will never
betray this country." Moments later violence erupted. Qatif is a region
heavily populated by Shiites, who believe they are discriminated against
by the Sunni government.
