The ruling has also drawn criticism from many Muslims, who view circumcision as an important practice in their faith

(AP) JERUSALEM – An Israeli parliamentary committee on Monday denounced a ruling in Germany banning ritual circumcision, saying the decision infringes upon religious freedom and evokes memories of the worst chapter in German history, the Holocaust. A regional court in Cologne recently ruled that circumcising young boys for religious reasons amounts to bodily harm, even if parents agree to it. Circumcision of baby boys is a fundamental Jewish religious ritual. German court rules circumcision goes against “fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity” The ruling was particularly sensitive, given German history and the Holocaust of World War II, when 6 million Jews were killed by German Nazis and their collaborators. Committee chairman Danny Danon invited the German ambassador to Israel to parliament, seeking clarifications to the court ruling. “Circumcision is one of the pillars of Judaism, and the last time it was restricted was in Germany during its darkest hour,” Danon said at the meeting with the ambassador, which was open to reporters. Danon said that Israel would not tolerate restrictions on the practice of Judaism anywhere in the world, “and certainly not in Germany.” The German ambassador, Andreas Michaelis, told the Israeli lawmakers his country was working to resolve the issue and that the ruling doesn’t apply at the national level. “It’s clear that the ruling prohibiting circumcision is more sensitive in Germany because of the Holocaust,”...

“The stakes are high,” said CBS News foreign affairs analyst Pamela Falk, “because the stalemate at the U.N. means that an international plan for a peaceful transition is not available.” Special Section: The Arab SpringSyria’s Assad emerges after deadly bombingSyrian rebels emboldened after assassinations A frustrated White House declared that Russia and China placed themselves on the “wrong side of history” and the “wrong side of the Syrian people.” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One that the vote was “regrettable” and “highly unfortunate.” Carney said the lack of U.N consensus “will have repercussions for the countries that vetoed the resolution for a long time in terms of how they’re viewed by the Syrian people. Because there is no doubt that Syria’s future will not include Bashar Assad.” He added: “It is a mistake to prop up that regime as it comes to an end.” Britain’s U.N. Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, who sponsored the Western-backed draft, said he was “appalled” at the third double veto of a resolution aimed at bringing an end to the bloodshed in Syria and creating conditions for political talks. The resolution had threatened sanctions if the Syrian regime didn’t quickly stop using heavy weapons. “The consequence of their decision is obvious,” he said. “Further bloodshed, and the likelihood of descent into all-out civil war.” Activists say more than 17,000 people have been killed since the uprising began in March 2011, most of them civilians. “The consequence of today’s action is the situation will continue to deteriorate,” U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice told reporters. Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said the resolution should never have been put to a vote because the sponsors knew it had no chance of adoption. “We simply cannot accept a document under Chapter 7, one which would open the path for the pressure of sanctions and further to external military involvement in Syrian domestic affairs,” he said. The latest veto was a blow to Annan, the joint U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, who had called for “consequences” for non-compliance with his six-point peace plan, which has been flouted by the Assad government. The vote on the resolution was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but Annan requested a delay and appealed to the council to unite behind a new resolution. Moscow wouldn’t budge, and the West insisted on including the threat of non-military sanctions under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter. That could eventually open the door to the use of military force. Wednesday’s delay was announced shortly after the deadly bombing of a high-level security meeting in Damascus that has made Assad’s hold on power look increasingly tenuous. Speculation is rampant as to Assad’s whereabouts, CBS News correspondent Clarissa Ward reported on “CBS This Morning” Thursday, though Syrian state TV said Assad attended the swearing-in of his new defense minister. Some opposition members said left Damascus for the heartland of his Alawite tribe in the coastal city of Latakia, Ward reports. That claim seems unlikely, however, given that Assad’s security apparatus is in Damascus and a move to Latakia would appear as the president conceding his capital and backing away from the fight. One thing is certain, Assad finds himself in an uncomfortable position, Ward reports. He no longer knows who he can trust, and the rebel Free Syrian Army is touting the deadly bomb attack as a major triumph, even calling it the beginning of the end for the Assad regime. At the U.N., a frustrated, angry Lyall Grant said the attacks in Damascus over the last 48 hours “demonstrate the need for urgent and decisive action by the Security Council to stop the downward spiral into chaos which will claim many more innocent lives and affect the stability of the region.” Annan’s spokesman Ahmad Fawzi said the envoy “is disappointed that at this critical stage the U.N. Security Council could not unite and take the strong and concerted action he had urged and hoped for.” Churkin told the council he would not put Moscow’s rival draft resolution to a vote to avoid continuing confrontation in the Security Council. Moscow’s proposal called for the “immediate implementation” of Annan’s plan and guidelines for a political transition approved at a meeting in Geneva last month and would have extended the observer mission for 90 days, but it made no mention of sanctions. Instead, Churkin proposed that council members adopt “a brief depoliticized resolution” extending the mission of the unarmed observers for a limited time to preserve its “useful potential.”

His office said the prince was told of Rausing’s death but did not offer further comment

Updated 6:30 a.m. ET (CBS/AP) LONDON – One of Britain’s richest women, American-born Eva Rausing, was found dead in her west London home and a man was arrested in connection with the case, British police said Tuesday, adding that an autopsy had failed to uncover a formal cause of death. Rausing, 48, was the wife of Hans Kristian Rausing, heir to the TetraPak fortune his father built by creating a successful manufacturer of laminated cardboard drink containers. Both Rausing and her husband have had long-running and often public battles against addiction. British police said they had arrested a 49-year-old man Monday on suspicion of drug possession and a subsequent search of an address in London’s tony Belgravia neighborhood related to that arrest turned up Rausing’s body later that day. TPolice did not release the man’s name but offered details of the arrest in response to a question about Hans Kristian Rausing. Scotland Yard said in a statement Tuesday that further tests were being carried out on Rausing’s body after an autopsy was inconclusive. It said officers from the Homicide and Serious Crime division were investigating the case “and the death continues to be treated at this time as unexplained.” The man arrested in connection with Rausing’s death remained under arrest but was receiving medical attention at a location away from the police station, police said. They would not say...

(CBS News) The brutal mauling of a 24-year-old surfer in the waters off Western Australia over the weekend  has local officials pondering an end to a ban on killing great whites, according to a report from news.com.au

(CBS News) The brutal mauling of a 24-year-old surfer in the waters off Western Australia over the weekend  has local officials pondering an end to a ban on killing great whites, according to a report from news.com.au. Witnesses have said Ben Linden, from Perth, was surfing with a friend on Saturday when he was literally bitten in two by a white shark between 12 and 15 feet long. Linden was the fifth person in 10 months to be killed by a shark in the region. “Five fatalities in Western Australia is unprecedented and cause for great alarm,” Western Australia Fisheries Minister Norman Moore told news.com.au. The attacks, and the reports that Linden was the latest victim of a shark dubbed “Brutus” by local surfers, also have Australian tourism officials worried. A Jet Ski rider witnessed the incident and attempted to rescue Linden. Matt Holmes, 22, said he saw a large amount of blood in the water and described trying to pull Linden’s body from the water as a “massive, massive white shark” tried to nudge him off his jet ski. A search was conducted for Linden’s remains, but was called off Sunday afternoon as bad weather moved in. The beach was to remain closed until Tuesday, 과천출장마사지 according to reports. Moore told news.com.au that he would be willing to lift the protection order on great whites if the federal government were...
