Ted Cruz's Support Softens Among the Delegates He Courted
By JEREMY W. PETERS
The gravitational pull of Donald J. Trump's recent primary landslides is drawing more Republicans toward him, threatening Mr. Cruz's hopes of winning in a floor fight.
The scuffles broke out shortly after dawn when several protesters tried to push their way through a police line and enter the legislative building. There were no reports of arrests.
The opposition Democratic Progressive Party opposes the service sector bill because it says it will add to what it already considers to be undue Chinese influence over Taiwan.
It always says it will hurt small Taiwanese businesses because of difficulties they will face in competing with cash-rich, mostly state-run Chinese companies intent on investing in Taiwan.
Mr. Bhagat said that 23 police officers and 39 civilians were slightly injured in the ensuing scuffle.

Ukrainian parliament fights over ratification of Russian deal
The Ukrainian parliament in Kiev has ratified a deal with Russia extending the Kremlin's lease for a key naval base in Ukraine's Crimea, even as bitterly divided lawmakers scuffled over a giant Ukrainian flag in the middle of the parliamentary chamber, and smoke bombs made the room hazy.
Several black umbrellas protected parliament speaker Volodymyr Litvyn from the paper wads and eggs being thrown at him, while other deputies held their noses or put on masks against the smoke.
Bildunterschrift: The speaker hid behind umbrellas as eggs began to flyThe deal is the first concrete sign of the more friendly approach to Russia under newly-elected President Viktor Yanukovych. The agreement, also ratified by Russia's lower house of parliament, extends the Russian navy's lease at the port of Sevastopol for 25 years after the current lease expires in 2017.
The deal was signed by Yanukovych and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev last week and has been heavily criticized by supporters of Yanukovych's pro-Western predecessor Viktor Yushchenko. Outside the parliament building, they shouted "Death to traitors!" and "Crimea is ours."
Russia willing to pay big money base lease
In exchange for the lease extension, Russia is giving Ukraine a 30 percent discount on Russian natural gas imports, a pledge worth some 30 billion euros ($40 billion) over 10 years.

Earlier on Tuesday, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin held talks with Ukrainian leaders in Kiev at which he offered an unprecedented nuclear cooperation deal. He admitted to reporters that the gas deal had hurt the Russian budget.
"It's going to be a burden, of course. And a major one," he said. "The amount that this has cost us is really something else. For this kind of money I could have eaten Yanukovych and your prime minister together."
Russia's supply of natural gas to Ukraine has been cut three times in recent years over disagreements on payments from Ukraine. European Union officials stepped in during the most recent standoff in 2009 when Moscow's decision to halt gas flowing through Ukrainian pipes led to shortages in the EU.

Mr. Peterson continued playing after his stroke in 1993 because, as he told The Chicago Tribune, “I think I have a closeness with the instrument that I’ve treasured over the years.” Before long he was back on tour and recording “Side By Side” with Itzhak Perlman, having learned to do more playing with his right hand. As he told Down Beat in 1997: “When I sit down to the piano, I don’t want any scuffling. I want it to be a love affair.”
