Syria rebel chieftain killed; Assad forces bomb besieged town Posted: 18 Nov 2013 02:40 PM PST By Khaled Yacoub Oweis and Dominic Evans AMMAN/ARSAL, Lebanon (Reuters) - President Bashar al-Assad's forces fired rocket and artillery barrages on a besieged mountain town near Lebanon on Monday in a push to capture the strategic area following advances against rebels in Damascus and in the north of Syria. In a separate setback for the fighters, a prominent rebel leader died overnight in a Turkish hospital of wounds suffered in an air raid on Aleppo. ... |
Police hunt gunman in Paris after newspaper, bank shootings Posted: 18 Nov 2013 11:47 AM PST By Gérard Bon PARIS (Reuters) - Police were hunting a lone gunman on the loose in Paris on Monday after he opened fire with a shotgun at the offices of a left-wing newspaper and a major bank before hijacking a car to take him to the Champs-Elysees avenue. The assailant burst into the office of the Liberation daily in central Paris, shooting and seriously wounding a photographer's assistant before fleeing, police and staff at the newspaper said. About 90 minutes later, he fired at least three shots into the lobby of the suburban headquarters of Societe Generale in the La Defense business district 10 km (6 miles) west of the center, the prosecutor said. President Francois Hollande, speaking from Jerusalem, said he had asked his interior minister to use all possible means to find the gunman, "who tried to kill and could still do so". |

Nine reported dead as storms hit Italian island of Sardinia Posted: 18 Nov 2013 03:42 PM PST Nine people died and hundreds were evacuated when storms tore through the Italian island of Sardinia on Monday night, sweeping cars away and causing a bridge to collapse, local media reported. Television pictures showed torrential rain, with streets submerged in muddy floodwaters and rivers bursting their banks. "We're at maximum alert," Giorgio Cicalo, an official from the Civil Protection Authority in Sardinia told RAI state television. Especially because it's been across the whole island." Local newspapers Unione Sarda and Nuova Sardegna reported in their online editions that nine people had been killed with the storm still raging but it was not immediately possible to confirm the figure with local officials. |

Carbon monoxide poisoning killed Colorado miners Posted: 18 Nov 2013 04:52 PM PST By Keith Coffman DENVER (Reuters) - Two miners who died in a gold and silver mine in Colorado over the weekend were killed when they were exposed to fatal levels of carbon monoxide following an explosion, federal safety officials said on Monday. At least 19 other miners were sickened in the incident in the Revenue-Virginius mine in Ouray County in southwestern Colorado early on Sunday morning. Amy Louviere, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration, said it was not yet clear if the explosion was set off intentionally as part of a blasting operation or was an accident. Louviere said according to preliminary information it appeared that after the explosives were detonated one of the miners entered the area and did not come back out. |

Video shows near-vertical crash of Russian plane Posted: 18 Nov 2013 04:08 PM PST KAZAN, Russia (AP) — The grainy airport video is dark, short and chilling. Within five seconds, a dot of light that Russian authorities say is a Boeing 737 appears in the sky over the tarmac and plunges to the ground in a near-vertical crash. The result is a blinding fireball. |
Global carbon emissions rise to new record in 2013: report Posted: 18 Nov 2013 04:05 PM PST Global carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels will rise to a record 36 billion metric tons (39.683 billion tons) this year, a report by 49 researchers from 10 countries said, showing the failure of governments to rein in the main greenhouse gas blamed for global warming. The report by the Global Carbon Project, which compiles data from research institutes worldwide each year, was published in the journal Earth Systems Data Discussions on Tuesday. Its 2013 estimate represents a 2.1 percent gain versus 2012 and a 61 percent increase since 1990, the baseline year for the U.N.'s Kyoto Protocol, the only global agreement that places binding limits on national CO2 emission levels. Emissions must fall substantially and rapidly if we are to limit global climate change to below 2 degrees Celsius," said the report's lead author, Corinne Le Quere of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at Britain's University of East Anglia, in a statement. |

Colorado creates rules to reduce fracking emissions Posted: 18 Nov 2013 03:03 PM PST Colorado announced proposed rules on Monday designed to reduce emissions during oil and gas operations in an agreement with drillers that addresses one key environmental concern surrounding the U.S. oil and gas boom. The western state's Air Pollution Control Division proposed new regulations to reduce the release of methane during production and transport of natural gas in a deal with energy producers Anadarko Petroleum, Noble Energy, Encana Corp and the Environmental Defense Fund. "This proposal represents a model for the nation," said Fred Krupp, president of Environmental Defense Fund. The rules come as oil and gas output in Colorado and the whole United States is rapidly increasing thanks to new drilling techniques like fracking that have unlocked vast amounts of fuel from shale rock deposits deep underground. |

U.S. exploring options for destroying Syria chemical weapons: Kerry Posted: 18 Nov 2013 02:40 PM PST The United States and allies are exploring two options for destroying Syria's chemicals weapons, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday after Albania rejected a request to host the destruction process. Kerry dismissed reports that a plan to eliminate the weapons was off-track, saying the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons had until the end of the year to remove the chemical weapons from Syria. He did not identify those options and which countries were willing to take the chemical weapons. The plan seeks to destroy about 1,300 metric tons of Syria's sarin, mustard gas and other agents. |

Carbon monoxide poisoning blamed in deaths of two Colorado miners Posted: 18 Nov 2013 02:04 PM PST By Keith Coffman DENVER (Reuters) - Carbon monoxide poisoning was responsible for killing two miners and sickening 19 others at a gold and silver mine in southwestern Colorado over the weekend, state and federal authorities said on Monday. The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration, which is conducting the probe, said in a statement that a foreman and a miner were "overcome by gases following an explosives accident." The agency said investigators were still trying to determine what caused the accident at the Revenue-Virginius mine in Ouray County on Sunday and why the miners were unable to escape the fumes. The facility, located about 330 miles southwest of Denver, is owned by Star Mine Operations, LLC of Denver. The Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety, which regulates environmental impacts at state mines, said in a statement that Star Mine obtained a permit to mine silver, gold and sulfide materials in February. |
