Rebel fighters in Syria say they've shot down a government fighter plane near the border with Iraq. Footage of the attack posted online shows a jet burst into flames amid the sound of heavy gunfire. The rebels say they've captured the pilot. Another video shows rebels questioning a man who identifies himself as the pilot. Syrian state television has confirmed the crash, but said it was due to technical problems. Kevin Connolly has more.
The plane appeared to be a Russian-built MiG-23, and experts say it's decked out in the distinctive markings of a Syrian air force. A few seconds into the footage, a bright, yellowy orange point of flame appears on the fuselage , and then, almost immediately, blossoms into a huge ball of light. There's no independent verification of the images. Planes like the MiG-23 have given the Syrian government a huge advantage over the rebels; and if one has been shot down, then it is a significant moment in this conflict.
In Norway, an official inquiry into the way police responded to the attacks by Anders Behring Breivik last year has found they could have been avoided. The commission said certain security measures were not heeded , meaning that Breivik was able to plant a bomb close to government buildings unnoticed. Caroline Hawley reports.
It's just over a year since Anders Breivik set off a bomb at a government building in Oslo, and then drove to the picturesque island of Utoeya, where, dressed in police uniform, he calmly picked off his victims. The police themselves arrived on the island more than an hour after the killings began. Today, the inquiry found that the bomb could have been prevented. The inquiry also found there'd been communication failures. It took the police too long to issue a description of Breivik and his vehicle; and it took the police too long to get onto the island.
The Vatican has ordered that Pope Benedict's former butler should stand trial for stealing secret documents from the Pope's private office. Paolo Gabriele and another Vatican employee are also accused of stealing a check worth $100,000. David Willey reports from Rome.
The Pope's private apartment on the top floor of the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican is supposed to be one of the most secure locations in the world. Yet, Paolo Gabriele managed to spirit away a stack of correspondents which he took home and photocopied, according to Vatican investigators. The Vatican spokesman said inquiries are continuing, and other people working inside the Vatican may be implicated . The theft has been a deeply embarrassing episode for the Roman Catholic Church.
The Olympic flag has arrived in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, which will host the 2016 Summer Games.

Nearly 1,000 people have fled from wild fires on one of the Spanish Canary Islands. Fanned by warm winds, the fires on La Gomera have engulfed scrubland and dry valleys, and sent residents fleeing from the western town of Valle Gran Rey. The fires have damaged part of La Gomera's Garajonay National Park.
Police in the United States say three people have been killed in a shooting incident near a Texas university campus. One of the dead was a police officer who first arrived on the scene. The gunman, who was wounded during exchange of gunfire, has also died. The shooting was close to A&M University northwest of Houston.
Conservationists in South Africa say they've succeeded in reducing the elephant population after a five-year contraception program. The number of cubs being born at a park in northern KwaZulu-Natal has now halved. Darts carrying contraceptives are fired from the air, avoiding the distressing process of hunting and culling the animals. Controlling the elephant population is vital as they often rampage through farms to find the vast quantities of vegetation they need. A district ecologist, Catharine Hanekom, said the results were encouraging.

The owners of Cosmopolitan magazine say its long-time editor, Helen Gurley Brown, has died in New York at the age of 90. Helen Gurley Brown became famous in 1962 after writing the bestseller Sex and the Single Girl – a book of advice and anecdotes on why being single shouldn't mean being sexless. Widely credited with helping to encourage the female sexual revolution, she was hired by Hearst which owns Cosmopolitan in 1965 to improve the magazine's fortunes. For the next 32 years, she developed a style which encouraged readers to get everything out of life.

敘利亞叛軍稱在與伊拉克邊界處擊落一架政府戰(zhàn)斗機。上傳網(wǎng)上的襲擊視頻顯示，一架噴氣式機在猛烈的槍火中 燃起大火。叛軍稱逮捕了飛行員。另一段視頻顯示，叛軍正在質問一名自稱是飛行員的男子。敘利亞國家電視臺確認墜機事件，但稱是出于技術問題。Kevin Connolly報道。

這架飛機看來像是俄羅斯制造的MiG-23，專家稱機身上裝飾有敘利亞空軍的醒目標志。在視頻的幾秒鐘 時，機身上出現(xiàn)一個很亮的、橘黃色火光點，很快，就變成巨大的光球。目前尚無對這些圖像的獨立證實，像MiG-23這樣的飛機給敘利亞政府巨大的優(yōu)勢來對 付叛軍，如果有一架被擊落，那邊是這場戰(zhàn)斗的重大時刻。

在挪威，對去年安德斯·貝林·布雷維克襲擊案時警察應對方式的官方調查顯示，這場襲擊原本是可以避免的。委員會稱警察沒有注意到一些安全措施，這意味著布雷維克可以在不被發(fā)現(xiàn)的情況下將炸彈放置在政府大樓內。
It's just over a year since Anders Breivik set off a bomb at a government building in Oslo, and then drove to the picturesque island of Utoeya, where, dressed in police uniform, he calmly picked off his victims.

一年多前，安德斯·布雷維克在奧斯陸一座政府大樓引爆一枚炸彈，然后開車駛往風景優(yōu)美的托亞島，在那里， 他身穿一身警服，平靜地挑選要襲擊的人。警察是在殺戮開始超過一小時后才抵達島上。今天，這起調查顯示，炸彈襲擊原本可以避免。調查還發(fā)現(xiàn)存在溝通問題， 警察花了過長時間來描述布雷維克和他的車輛的特征，而且趕到島上也花了太長時間。

在梵蒂岡宗座宮殿的頂層，教皇的私人公寓被視為是世界上最安全的地方。然而，據(jù)梵蒂岡調查人員 稱，Paolo Gabriele卻設法盜取大量通訊文件，他帶回家并影印。梵蒂岡發(fā)言人稱調查仍在繼續(xù)，其他工作在梵蒂岡的人也會受到牽連。這樁盜竊案一直是令羅馬天主 教堂尷尬的事。
