(AP) SYDNEY – An Australian rescue team is heading to Antarctica to evacuate an American expeditioner experiencing a medical emergency. The Australian Antarctic Division said Wednesday it is sending a specialist medical team to the U.S. McMurdo research station in Antarctica. The team will first stop in Christchurch, New Zealand, and 실시간 축구 wait until weather and light conditions on the frozen continent allow them to land safely.

(AP) BEIRUT – Armed Shiite clansmen in Lebanon said Wednesday they had captured more than 20 Syrians and will hold them until one of their relatives seized by rebels inside Syria is freed. The tensions were a stark reminder of how easily Syria’s civil war could spill over to neighboring states. In Geneva, a U.N. investigation said Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces and pro-government militiamen were responsible for war crimes during a May bloodbath in the village of Houla that killed more than 100 civilians, nearly half of them children. It also said rebels were blamed for war crimes in at least three other killings. The report by the U.N. Human Rights Council said the scale of the Houla carnage indicated “involvement at the highest levels” of Syria’s military and government. It is first time the U.N. has described events in Syria’s civil war as war crimes and could be used in possible future prosecution against Assad or others. The council also said the conflict is moving in increasingly “brutal” directions on both sides.

(CBS News) UNITED NATIONS – Beyonce was breathtaking. No other way to describe the stunning performance at the General Assembly Hall of United Nations Headquarters in New York on Friday night, when she sang “I Was Here” in honor of humanitarian aid workers killed in the line of duty around the world to be broadcast on August 19th. “She was fantastic,” U.K. Ambassador to the U.N., Sir Mark Lyall Grant, said after the performance, which he attended with his daughter. “World Humanitarian Day is a chance to pay tribute to the commitment and courage of those who work in some of the world’s most dangerous places,” the ambassador told CBS News, “It’s fantastic that a world-acclaimed artist like Beyonce is helping to raise awareness for this important cause — she’s reminding us that we can all play a part in relieving suffering around the world.” It was on the same platform where Col. Muammar Qaddafi once rambled on for hours; Nikita Khrushchev pounded his shoe; Fidel Castro spoke for over three hours; and every U.S. president, since the U.N. was founded, has addressed diplomats. With the podium moved aside for a screen designed by filmmaker Ridley Scott, the world-renowned diva delivered a message of legacy with her ballad, “I Was Here,” written by Diane Warren about the personal drive to be remembered and to leave a “footprint.” Beyonce to...
