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...

(CBS/AP) JERUSALEM – Israel’s prime minister has expressed his dissatisfaction with Washington’s refusal to spell out what would provoke a U.S.-led military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. Washington wants to give diplomacy and sanctions more time to try to pressure Iran to abandon its suspect nuclear work. In a message aimed at Israel, the Obama administration said several times this week that deadlines or “red lines” are counterproductive. U.S.: Israeli pressure over Iran “not useful”AP: IAEA has new evidence of Iran nuke workU.S., Israel play diplomatic chicken over Iran But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says peaceful methods are not working, and Iran is getting closer to acquiring a nuclear bomb. His remarks have generated speculation Israel is readying to strike on its own. Netanyahu said on Tuesday that “those in the international community who refuse to draw a red line on Iran have no moral right to draw a red line for Israel.” Israeli leaders have been hinting at a possible military strike to stop Iran from acquiring an atomic weapon. The U.S. says sanctions and diplomacy should be given more time. Israel sees a nuclear Iran as an existential threat, due to its arch foe’s frequent calls for Israel’s destruction, its missile program and 고령출장만남 support for violent groups such as Hamas and...

(CBS/AP) Who has the most Emmys won by an actor, male or female? Mary Tyler Moore? Johnny Chase? Bill Cosby? Bea Arthur? Nope. Cloris Leachman. Pictures: Emmy nominees 2011Pictures: Creative Arts Emmys She had a chance to top herself at last week’s Creative Arts Emmy ceremony, 마카오 롤링 set to air this Saturday on ReelzChannel, for her guest-starring role on “Raising Hope.” Leachman plays the only occasionally lucid Maw Maw on the Fox sitcom, which also earned star Martha Plimpton a nomination for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series. The 85-year-old Leachman has won one Daytime and eight Primetime Emmy awards, but – spoiler alert – she lost out on her 10th trophy to “Glee” guest actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Still, Leachman’s Emmy record remains intact. “Well, I used to be tied with Sir Lawrence Olivier,” she said. “But he was kind enough to die, and then I was able to continue. So I thought that was very, very big of him especially since he’s English.” Leachman, whose first credits date back to the late 1940s, is perhaps best known for her work on the `70s sitcom classic “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” She said the Emmys have been cause for a friendly competition between her and her “MTM” costars, fellow multiple winners Moore and Ed Asner. “I remember Mary saying, `You have nine? I thought you had eight.’...

Steven Bochco, a TV producer/writer behind many hit shows over the years, has died at age 74, according to a representative at Steven Bochco Productions. The spokesperson said Bochco died peacefully Sunday morning at 10:20 a.m. “Steven fought cancer with strength, courage, grace and his unsurpassed sense of humor,” Phillip Arnold said in a statement provided to CBS News. “He died peacefully in his sleep with his family close by.” Bochco’s TV credits include a wide array of programs such as “Hill Street Blues,” L.A. Law,” “Doogie Howser, 안양출장샵 M.D.” and “NYPD Blue.” Many of them were shows related to the law genre. The Associated Press writes that “Hill Street Blues” challenged, even confounded the meager audience that sampled it in 1981. Then after critical acclaim, the series began to connect with viewers, while scoring a history-making 27 Emmy nominations its first year. Bochco has won 10 primetime Emmy awards throughout his career including four Peabody awards. The AP reports that Bochco once remembered a fan telling him that “Hill Street Blues” was the first TV series with a memory. “That’s what I always thought of myself doing in the context of TV: craft a show that over time would have a memory,” he told AP in an interview two years ago. “I sensed that very early in my career. It just took me another 10 or 12 years...
