NIGERIAN COURT 'TRIUMPH' FOR VP

Atiku Abubakar is standing as an opposition presidential candidate. Nigerian Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has claimed another victory in his continuing legal battle to be allowed to run for president in April's polls.
A judge ruled on Wednesday that the electoral commission did not have the right to disqualify candidates.
Mr Abubakar, who is now standing for the opposition, still faces corruption allegations which could bar him.
But the court victory could mean a messy election as others challenge their exclusions from official lists.
The list of candidates for state elections is supposed to be published on Thursday; with next week being the turn of national and presidential contenders.
Challenge
The electoral commission then prints up the ballot papers, so the issue of just who is included on this official list is hugely important, says the BBC's Alex Last in Lagos.
The government says Mr Abubakar and dozens of other politicians should be barred from contesting the elections.
But their attempts to get candidates it deems to be corrupt excluded is widely seen as targeting opponents of the president, among them Mr Abubakar.
There has also been infighting within political parties over who should get nominations - for example, to run for a governor of a state.
