(CBS/AP) MANILA, Philippines – Philippine disaster officials were shifting Friday from rescue work to a massive clean-up of the capital following nonstop rains that left tons of muck and debris from floods littering the city. The torrential monsoon rains that began Sunday left at least 60 people dead in the worst flooding in Manila since 2009. More than half of the sprawling metropolis of 12 million was submerged at the peak of the floods, and schools and offices closed for days. About 2.4 million people in Manila and nearby provinces have been affected, forcing more than 360,000 to seek shelter in government-run evacuation centers, the Office of Civil Defense reported Friday. The sun was out for a second day Friday, and residents were hard at work fixing disheveled homes and stores in flood-hit communities that resembled a wasteland covered with mounds of mud-caked garbage. “It’s really an eyesore when we saw it from the helicopter,” said civil defense chief Benito Ramos. “There will be no more rescue. It’s now ‘Operation Cleanup.”‘ He said soldiers will be mobilized to help local authorities collect the debris that have clogged streets and waterways. Some of the displaced in still-crowded evacuation centers have begun to trickle back to their communities, where floodwaters have subsided, Social Welfare Secretary Dinky Soliman said. Reservists will be assigned to help repack relief supplies for people still in...

(CBS) Among the crop of summer blockbusters, Rupert Wyatt’s “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” ranks as one of the more entertaining and – probably – the most thought-provoking of the heavy hitters. Set in present-day San Francisco, the film is an original telling that serves as a precursor to 1968’s  “Planet of the Apes,” starring Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowall. Will (James Franco) is a scientist on the brink of finding a cure for Alzheimers. Using chimpanzees as guinea pigs, he thinks he has discovered a cure for the irreversible disease when one of the chimps starts to display unparalleled growth in intelligence after using his miracle drug, ALZ 112, in clinical trials.

When a meeting to persuade the company’s board  to begin human clinical trials  goes  tragically wrong, Franco’s character takes things into his own hands. He rescues an orphaned chimp from his test group, hiding the chimp in his home and using him to secretly continue testing his miracle drug. Fast forward three years and the chimp, 카지노...

Gunmen in Afghan uniform kills NATO troop Thursday’s incident is the second green-on-blue attack this week. On Tuesday, two gunmen confirmed to have been Afghan National Army soldiers turned their weapons on NATO troops, killing a U.S. service member and wounding two others, ISAF confirmed Friday morning. The Taliban claimed responsibility for that shooting, which took place in Paktia province, eastern Afghanistan. The suspects escaped after the attack and a search was underway to track them down. In a separate attack Wednesday morning, at least one suicide bomber walked up to a group of U.S. troops on foot patrol near the provincial council office in Kunar province, also in the east, and blew himself up, killing three American troops and one civilian working for the State Department’s USAID program. There has been no indication that the bomber or bombers in this attack were wearing Afghan uniforms. The Taliban traditionally steps up attacks in August, but the militant group’s claimed success in recruiting rogue forces from the ranks of the Afghan army and police to turn on their Western allies, with whom they work and live very closely as ISAF ramps up its planned transition of security to Afghan forces, has fostered a lack of trust. While the Taliban often claim they have infiltrated the Afghan security forces and are carrying out these attacks, CBS News reporter John Bentley reported in July that a U.S. Defense Department report maintains the attacks are not carried out by insurgents. “Investigations have determined that a large majority of green-on-blue attacks are not attributable to insurgent infiltration of the ANSF (Afghan National Security Forces), but are due to isolated personal grievances against coalition personnel,” the report said.
