But the Israeli and Palestinian leaders failed to complete a document on Palestinian statehood that is to be presented at an international peace conference in the U.S. planned for next week, reports CBS News correspondent Robert Berger.The key issues include Jerusalem, refugees and borders, and Israel prefers a vague document while the Palestinians want a timetable for statehood. The Palestinians say without substance, the peace conference could be little more than a photo-op. There are serious gaps.

CARACAS, Venezuela -- Days before a polarizing vote to start rewriting its constitution, Venezuela is convulsing to a rhythm of daytime strikes and nocturnal clashes. The most recent violence drove the death toll from nearly four months of unrest to 102 on Thursday. Most of the dead in anti-government protests that began in April are young men killed by gunfire. The toll also includes looters; police allegedly attacked by protesters; and civilians killed in accidents related to roadblocks set up during demonstrations. U.S. orders diplomats families to leave Venezuelan capitalThe count has been highly politicized, with the opposition and other government agencies reporting varying tolls and causes of death that focus blame on the other side. The protests began over moves by President Nicolas Maduro s government to restrict the powers of the opposition-controlled National Assembly. But the mounting deaths of demonstrators have become a separate source of outrage for the young people who march during the day and assemble nightly to fight the police and national guardsmen at improvise

Saddam
stanley thermosflasche Hussein was cross-examined for the first time in his six-month-old trial Wednesday, saying he approved death sentences against Shiites in the 1980s because he believed the evidence had proven they were involved in an assassination attempt against him.His argument thus far is that his revolutionary court properly followed its own rules and procedures, in putting 140 men and boys to death, because they were guilty of trying to kill him, reports CBS News correspondent Kimberly Dozier. Standing alone as the sole defendant in the courtroom, Saddam dodged questions from prosecutors over his role in the crackdown, giving long speeches in which he called the court illegitimate. He also accused the current Shiite-led Interior Ministry of killing and torturing thousands of Iraqis and bickered with chief judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman.By Iraqi law, Saddam can talk as long as wants, so this could take a while, reports Dozier.The session came a day after prosecutors indicted Saddam on separate charges of genocide, accusing him of trying to exterminate Kurds in a 1980s campaign that killed an estimated 100,000 people. The charges will be dealt with in a separate trial.
