Updated at 1:11 p.m. ET (AP) BEIRUT – Regime airstrikes hit a gas station in northern Syria Thursday, setting off a fiery explosion that killed at least 30 people and wounded dozens, opposition activists said. Amateur video showed thick black smoke engulfing the scene. Earlier Thursday, a Syrian military helicopter crashed near the capital of Damascus, and Syria’s Information Ministry said the helicopter went down after accidentally clipping the tail of a Syrian passenger plane with 200 people on board. The larger aircraft landed safely at Damascus International Airport and no one was hurt, the Information Ministry said. The airstrikes and the close call in the sky underscored the growing turmoil and violence in Syria. The country is embroiled in a civil war between forces fighting for President Bashar Assad and those trying to topple him. More than 23,000 people have been killed in the conflict, according to activists. In recent weeks, Assad’s regime has stepped up airstrikes in northern Syria in an attempt to dislodge rebels from areas they control there. Activists said Thursday’s airstrike hit near the town of Ain Issa, about 25 miles from the Turkish border. A day earlier, rebel fighters had seized control of a border crossing north of the town. Rami Abdul-Rahman of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said witnesses counted at least 30 bodies and said dozens of people were...

Julie Taymor was doing “backyard theatre” at the age of 7, was a member of the Boston Children’s Theatre Company by the age of 11, and traveled in Sri Lanka as a teenager. She says her parents gave her the freedom to be herself, and to follow her interests no matter how far away those interests took her. Taymor also told Moriarty that she was so emotionally close to her parents that she never really felt far from home. From her travels — especially the four years she spent as a young woman in Indonesia — Taymor got insights and skills that informed all of her later work, including “The Lion King.” This show has been widely praised as an innovative stage work unlike anything that came before. What she proposed to Disney as her best idea, while admitting others would also work, was the most original and therefore the riskiest. Taymor created what she calls “the double event” which enables the audience to see the characters as animal and human at the same time. Taymor believed in this concept and Disney believed in her. So Taymor’s best artistic vision is what “Lion King” audiences see. This past spring “The Lion King” opened in Johannesburg. Taymor says for her and those she worked with to create the show, that was “the most thrilling, moving experience of our lives —...

The prime minister, who has broken off negotiations with the protesters occupying parts of central Bangkok, said he hoped to resolve the crisis soon without resorting to force, but appealed for patience. “We recognize that as every day passes by, the people of Thailand suffer, the country suffers, but we want to make sure that there is rule of law,” Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, according to quotes posted on the news channel’s website. “We will try to enforce the law with minimum losses and we will try to find a political resolution, but it takes time, patience and cooperation.” The four-hour closure of Bangkok’s Skytrain caused commuter chaos and raised concerns in the tense capital, where hundreds of soldiers armed with automatic weapons were deployed to guard stations and other major city boulevards. At least 26 people have been killed and nearly 1,000 wounded since protesters known as the Red Shirts – who view the government as illegitimate – began occupying parts of Bangkok in mid-March, closing down five-star hotels and shopping malls and devastating the country’s vital tourism industry. The government has not given a clear statement of how it plans to end the standoff after rejecting a Red Shirt compromise proposal to disband 온라인카지노 parliament within 30 days instead of immediately. In his interview with CNN, recorded Monday, Abhisit said he could not...
