Kyrgyzstan in chaos

[BBC news] Kyrgyzstan's President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, who was forced to flee the capital Bishkek amid a bloody uprising, has insisted he will not resign. In a series of interviews, Mr Bakiyev said he was in the south and would not leave. But he accepted he had lost control of the security forces. The opposition, under ex-foreign minister Roza Otunbayeva, says it has taken full power.
