(CBS/AP) ANKARA, Turkey – NATO will hold emergency talks on Tuesday to discuss Syria’s downing of a Turkish jet fighter, but the alliance is not expected to take military action, even if it confirms Turkey’s claim that the unarmed plane was attacked in international airspace. The incident has further raised regional tensions over the conflict in Syria, where some 40 people were reported killed Sunday in new clashes between rebels and government troops. On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sharply criticized Syria for downing the Turkish plane, which Turkey’s Foreign Ministry called an “open and grave violation of international law” that would justify retaliation.

The state-run Anadolu news agency said 33 soldiers crossed into Turkey overnight and the group – 224 people in all – included several high ranking officers.

(CBS News) As with any revolution, most of the fighters on the front lines for Syria’s rebels are not soldiers. They are doctors, cab drivers, and professors who feel they have little choice but to fight. “The suffering of the Syrian people, the suffering of men, women and children, some of them trapped by fighting, is getting worse,” Major General Robert Mood, the head of the U.N. observer mission in Syria, said recently. Yet among Syria’s rebels, 함양출장샵 hope springs eternal. Otherwise, why would they fight? And among one rebel fighting group, a former music and sports teacher named Ahmed Harmeen tries to keep the mood light whenever possible, if but to distract from the new chaos of their lives. When Global Post’s Tracey Shelton visited Harmeen and his fellow fighters, she was treated to a surprising talent of his: The singing of American pop songs — specifically, the Backstreet Boys. In the clip above, Harmeen belts out a few words of the 90s boy band Backstreet Boys’ megahit “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely.” (Original song and video here.) “Show me the meaning of being lonely/ So many words for the broken heart/ It’s hard to see in a crimson love,” Harmeen sings. The words take on a whole new meaning when sung from the lips of a freedom fighter liable to die any day, rather than...

(AP) STONEHENGE, England – Rain-sodden crowds welcomed a spectacularly wet summer solstice at Stonehenge in true British fashion Thursday: With stoicism and wit. So bad was the downpour that even one of Britain’s latter-day druids – fixtures of the annual celebration – was forced to seek refuge with journalists in a tent set up near the entrance. “It’s a wash,” said King Arthur Pendragon, his fine white beard turned into a soggy silver sponge. “Literally.” English Heritage put the crowd at the summer festival at 14,500, well below figures which typically hover around 20,000. But through the wind and rain, drummers inside the ancient stone circle kept up their thumping rhythm, new age pagans kept up their chaotic dance, and visitors kept up their sense of humor. Watch: Yogis take over Times Square for summer solsticeOfficial start of summer roasts the Northeast “Everyone’s very friendly,” said Teresa Smith, 50, who spoke from underneath a rain-streaked plastic poncho. “Whether alcohol or drug-induced, everyone’s very friendly.” Summer solstice — the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere — has long drawn people to Stonehenge, 포항출장업소 a mysterious set of standing stones whose purpose remains a matter of conjecture. The ancient stone circle on the Salisbury Plain about 80 miles southwest of London, was built in three phases between 3000 B.C. and 1600 B.C. It is one of Britain’s most...
