(CBS News) Hillary Clinton has said she plans to step down as secretary of state in January regardless of whether President Obama is reelected. She’s on an extended diplomatic farewell tour, 영암출장마사지 and was met with protests Monday in Cairo. She also sat down with CBS News’ Margaret Brenann who asked her if she’s confident in the U.S. strategy in Syria, where President Bashar al Assad continues a brutal assault on anti-regime forces. “I don’t know what other strategy anybody is suggesting,” Clinton said. “Because unless you have Security Council support for any other action — I don’t think any country believes that it should act unilaterally in such a complex, dangerous situation.” Clinton said that Syria’s neighbors, in particular, are worried about any unilateral action inside Syria that could push violence across its borders. “I know that people share my deep frustration and outrage at what’s going on inside Syria, but my job is not just to express outrage. My job is to try to figure out what can be done that would be effective,” Clinton said. “And sometimes a situation dons not lend itself to an answer that is immediately satisfying.” “I’m very confident we’ve done everything that we can do” to bring the situation to an end as quickly as possible, she said.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge dazzled this weekend in Southern California. From polo to shining with the stars, Prince William and his new bride, Catherine, had a full schedule for their one stop in the U.S. – their first official visit to the States. CBS News Royal Contributor Victoria Arbiter said on “The Early Show” the stop was an enormous success for the couple, as well as the British royal family as a whole. Pictures: William & Kate wrap up California tour “(The trip) really promoted their interests, put them right back at the forefront of media coverage, and so I think William and Kate can go home very happy, having also raised – early estimates are saying – $5 million for charity.” The trip to the U.S. included a polo match. William’s team won, and the prince himself scored four points. A good thing, too, according to Arbiter, because William is a “terrible, shocking loser.” “He’s very competitive, but he’s a good player, he and (his brother Prince) Harry,” Arbiter said. “I’m delighted to say his team did win. … It was nice for us, because Kate was presenting the prize, the Tiffany and Co. cup, which meant we did get to see a little royal kiss. We haven’t gotten to see one of those since the wedding day on the balcony.” “Early Show” co-anchor Erica Hill...

(CBS) “American Idol” creator Simon Fuller is suing Fox, claiming he should be paid a hefty fee over the network’s newest talent competition series, “The X-Factor.” According to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Fuller claims he negotiated an executive producer fee and credit on “The X-Factor” as part of a settlement of a 2004 copyright infringement lawsuit against former “Idol” (and upcoming “X-Factor”) judge Simon Cowell when “X-Factor” launched in the U.K. Fox, which airs “Idol” and will also air “The X-Factor” when it premieres in September, and Fremantle North America, which produces both shows, are now refusing to honor that deal, the suit alleges. “Fox and Fremantle made hundreds of millions of dollars thanks to the creative efforts of Fuller,” the suit states, according to THR. “Now, when it is time to finally perform on these unequivocal promises, Fox and Fremantle refuse to provide Fuller his executive producer credit for Defendants’ new television show, ‘The X Factor,’ and refuse to pay Fuller and executive producer fee ‘commesurate with his duties and stature in the entertainment industry.’ Defendants refusal to honor their promises made to Fuller is particularly malicious given that but for Fuller’s agreement, the ‘X Factor’ show would not be able to broadcast in the United States at all.” When Cowell launched “X-Factor,” Fuller sued, claiming the show was...
