(CBS) Five years after the release of “Cars,” the warm and fuzzy fleet is back, but this time, with some notable high octane additions in “Cars 2.” Not only are the cars cooler, the story line is too. Conceptualized by John Lasseter (co-founder of Pixar) and directed by Brad Lewis and Dan Fogelman, the crew clearly made it their mission to switch this sequel to the 2006 original into high gear. What they’ve come up with is a new, upgraded model they are banking on to be a big winner. The story is actually quite complex for young kids, but allows for more action and hijinks among the automobiles we’ve come to love. Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) returns as the speedy dirt racer with a heart of gold and by his side is his faithful sidekick, Mater (Larry The Cable Guy), a beat-up old tow truck. Back home in Radiator Springs after the racing season is over Lightning is looking forward to some down time and being able to catch up with his “girlfriend,” a cute little Carrera named Sally (Bonnie Hunt). Things take a turn at the drive-in, when he is egged into competing in the World Grand Prix by slick, open-wheeled racer Francesco Bernoulli (John Turturro). With Mater and his pit crew in tow, Lightning races to the finish, traversing the globe as he does so, with...

(AP) ISLAMABAD – Pakistani lawmakers elected a ruling party loyalist as the new prime minister Friday, despite corruption allegations and his failure to end the country’s energy crisis — setting in motion what is likely to be a short and turbulent premiership. The election of Raja Pervaiz Ashraf is unlikely to reduce tensions among Pakistan’s jostling power centers that are destabilizing the nuclear-armed country, which is considered crucial to American hopes of winding down the war in neighboring Afghanistan. The latest round of turmoil was triggered earlier this week when judges at the activist Supreme Court disqualified former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani for refusing to initiate a corruption investigation against his boss, President Asif Ali Zardari. U.S. Gen.: Afghan hotel attack likely Haqqani The court, considered by many to be hostile to Zardari, is likely to make the same demand of Ashraf, and many are predicting he will meet the same fate as Gilani within months. Ashraf, a minister in the ousted government, was originally put forward as a backup candidate but got the nod after the first choice was hit with an arrest warrant following his nomination on Thursday. The warrant was issued by an anti-narcotics force run by the military, which wields political power and has staged three coups in Pakistan’s short history. Ashraf was elected prime minister by Zardari’s Pakistan People’s Party and its coalition...

(CBS News) In Syria on Thursday, the International Red Cross tried to evacuate civilians and 의령출장마사지 the wounded from the battered city of Homs, but they never got the chance. A promised cease-fire never happened. The city came under renewed shelling that residents blamed on the Syrian army. The Red Cross convoy had to turn back to Damascus. Homs is at the center of the 16-month uprising against the dictator, Bashar al-Assad. He’s out to crush it, and thousands have died. Now, some of Assad’s soldiers are joining the rebels, and on Thursday a Syrian air force pilot took himself and his plane out of the fight. The pilot defected and landed his MiG jet fighter at an airfield in Jordan. It’s only a small crack in the Assad regime’s determination to crush its opponents, but one that Pentagon spokesman George Little praised. “We very much welcome the pilot’s decision to do the right thing,” Little said. The opposition has no jets but relies instead on classic guerrilla tactics — fighters strike then melt away into the countryside. They are becoming increasingly better equipped thanks to weapons and money supplied by Arab countries hostile to Assad. Estimated to number about 40,000, the insurgents have fought the 200,000-strong Syrian military with its tanks, artillery and helicopter gunships to a standstill. The regime controls the major cities running from the capital...
