Updated 9:47 p.m. ET HONG KONG (AP) – A boat packed with holiday revelers collided with a ferry and sank off Hong Kong, killing 36 people and injuring dozens more, authorities said. The boat was carrying staff members of a utility company and their family members to Hong Kong’s famed Victoria Harbour to watch a fireworks display Monday night on the long holiday weekend celebrating China’s National Day and mid-autumn festival. It was carrying about 120 people when it collided with the ferry near Lamma Island off the southwestern coast of Hong Kong Island. The government said 25 bodies had been recovered by Tuesday morning and the search was continuing. More than 100 people were rescued and sent to hospitals, and nine had serious or critical injuries, the government’s statement said. “There was a boat that came in close and crashed,” said Yuen Sui-see, director of operations at Power Assets Holdings Ltd., which was using the vessel to take staff on the outing. “After the crash, the other boat continued away, it didn’t stop.” He denied the vessel was overloaded, saying it was carrying 121 passengers and three crew but had capacity for 루비바둑이주소 more than 200 passengers. Television channels showed the boat half submerged with the bow pointing straight up. Helicopters circled overhead with searchlights as government vessels surrounded the boat and divers prepared to enter the water....

(CBS) Last week we plowed through most of the new shows hitting television. This week there are three, starting with the two-hour “Terra Nova” premiere on Fox. If you haven’t seen the gargantuan trailers floating around the Interwebs, the show stars “Avatar” bad guy Stephen Lang and Jim O’Mara. One of the many executive producers is Steven Spielberg, which makes sense because this is a dinosaur-heavy tale. Short version: In 2149, 강랜 친구들 Earth is less and less inhabitable. Via time travel, humans are being transported back 85 million years to an unspoiled planet. Expect special effects and…dinosaurs. Other shows debuting this week are “Hart of Dixie” on Monday, starring Rachel Bilson as a yankee doctor who takes a job south of the Mason-Dixon; “Suburgatory,” a single-camera comedy starring Jeremy Sisto and airing on Wednesday; and “How to be a Gentleman,” starring David Hornsby and the erstwhile Johnny Drama, Kevin Dillon.

(CBS/AP) JERUSALEM – Israel ground almost to a halt Tuesday afternoon in preparation for Yom Kippur, Judaism’s holiest day of the year. The country has completely closed its airspace to airplanes, shut down its buses and trains, and locked its border crossings in preparation the holy day, which begins Tuesday evening and ends Wednesday after sundown. Restaurants, businesses and schools closed, government ministries shuttered, and Israeli television and radio stations went silent. Highways and roads emptied of cars – a convention honored even by most secular and non-Jewish Israelis. Yom Kippur is Judaism’s day of atonement, 금산출장안마 when devout Jews ask God to forgive them for their transgressions. They refrain from eating and drinking and attend intense prayer services in synagogues. The day caps a traditional 10-day period of soul-searching that began with the holiday of Rosh Hashanah, the start of the Jewish new year. On Jewish new year, Israelis fear Iran strike This year, the day of introspection comes amid heightened speculation that an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities could be near. When Yom Kippur comes to a close Wednesday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will make his way to New York to address the United Nations with one main message: Iran’s nuclear program is an existential threat to Israel, and it must be stopped. Israeli Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar told Israel Radio that Israelis should pray this...

American officials are still awaiting access to the three widows of Osama bin Laden, who have been in Pakistani custody since the raid that killed the al Qaeda leader. But what information could the U.S. get from them if they are, in fact, interrogated? Former CIA Operations officer Charles Faddis told “Early Show” co-anchor 영동출장안마 Erica Hill Wednesday U.S. officials aren’t likely to learn much from the women. Special Report: The killing of Osama bin Laden “I wouldn’t anticipate what we’re going to get out of these ladies. Assuming we get access, it’s going to be extremely limited,” Faddis said. “It’s about compulsion – I’m not talking physical force – but you have to have some mechanism for making a person want to talk, and all of the dynamics are contrary to that.” Hill said, “There’s no incentive whatsoever for the women to talk.” Faddis replied, “These are people who have dedicated their lives to bin Laden and to the cause. We just killed bin Laden. I would think they would think fundamentally the best way they could revere and remember him would be to give us absolutely nothing.” However, Faddis added any information the women may have is “pretty limited.” “I would not think they would operationally be involved, and I expect they were probably confined to relatively domestic routines,” he said. Hill said, “Would those domestic routines,...
