(CBS/AP) Updated 4:24 p.m. EDT CALGARY, Alberta – Prince William and Kate have concluded their nine-day tour of Canada and are off to the City of Angels in California. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent the final hours of their visit soaking in western traditions (and wearing cowboy hats) at the Calgary Stampede parade. They also took in an environmental display at the zoo, met homeless youth and attended an Alberta government reception.

A Canadian military plane will fly William and Kate to Los Angeles, wait for them for a few days and then fly them back to Britain. The pair, sporting white cowboy hats, waved from their car at crowds of well-wishers lined 10 deep along the parade route under sunny skies. They later joined hands and pushed a red button to launch the parade, one of the world’s largest. The couple was decked out in western wear, with buttoned-down shirts and jeans. The prince opted for the same green checkered shirt that he wore Thursday in Calgary for a bull riding demonstration, and Kate wore a printed white long-sleeved blouse...

(CBS News) At a donors conference in Tokyo over the weekend, $16 billion of aid was pledged to Afghanistan. But the U.S. is putting conditions on that assistance. Taliban claims Afghanistan bombing, which left 6 U.S. troops dead Dollars and diplomacy are Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s new focus for the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, as military engagement comes to an end. In Tokyo, Clinton said that Afghanistan’s security has to be measured by jobs and economic opportunity. On both fronts, 음성출장마사지 Afghanistan is far from success. There were more than 200 coalition force deaths in 2012 and violence is increasing. Afghanistan is only capable of generating a fraction of its financial needs – its main export is still opium. That’s why much of the Tokyo conference was spent discussing how to attract private investors and cut back on corruption. Aid dollars helped educate more than eight million children and build roads and bridges; those are the success stories. Afghan president Hamid Karzai leaves Tokyo with a total of $16 billion in aid pledges to be paid through 2015. The U.S. is still Afghanistan’s top financial supporter. But Clinton says new dollars will have strings attached. She also wants private investors to put money to work in a country that still ranks as the fourth most corrupt, per Transparency International. “That must include fighting corruption, improving governance, strengthening the...

In joining with China Saturday to veto a United Nations resolution that would have supported a peaceful transition of power in Syria, Russia has decided to “stand with a dictator” rather than support the Syrian people, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said. Saturday’s veto by Russia and China came just hours after Syrian’s armed forces launched an attack on the city of Homs, which has been a flashpoint of dissent in the 10-month uprising against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Activists said 200 people were killed in the massacre. The Syrian government rejects the charge. According to the United Nations, more than 5,400 people have been killed since the uprising began last March. Syria: https://www.cihil1jdc.online After U.N. vote fails, now what?Russia, China veto UN resolution against Syria Appearing Monday on “CBS This Morning,” Rice accused Moscow of protecting Assad (“somebody whose days are numbered”) instead of the Syrian people who are “protesting peacefully for their basic universal rights. “What happened on Saturday was really, as Secretary Clinton said, a travesty,” Rice told Charlie Rose. “The entire Security Council – 13 countries less China and Russia – were ready to pass a resolution that would have been quite important, in that it would have supported the Arab League plan and that plan entailed a democratic transition in which President Assad would have to delegate his...
