United Nations Secretary-General Ban meets Iran's President Rohani during the U.N. General Assembly in New YorkU.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday withdrew an offer for Iran to attend Syria peace negotiations after Tehran declared it does not support the June 2012 political transition deal that is the basis for the talks. "He (Ban) continues to urge Iran to join the global consensus behind the Geneva communiqué," Ban's spokesman Martin Nesirky said. "Given that it has chosen to remain outside that basic understanding, (Ban) has decided that the one-day Montreux gathering will proceed without Iran's participation." Ban said earlier that Iran's public statement that it did not support the 2012 Geneva deal calling for a transitional government for Syria was "not consistent" with assurances he had been given by Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 10:20 AM PST

Ba'Ghetto restaurant owners Ilan Dabush, left, and his brother Amit work in their restaurant, during an interview with the Associated Press, in Rome, Monday Jan. 20, 2014. For just one day, the kitchen of the Vatican hotel where Pope Francis lives went kosher, with Rabbi Jaakov Spizzichino overseeing the scrupulous cleaning of countertops, boiling of utensils and heating of the oven necessary to render it fit for cooking under Jewish dietary laws. The occasion? A four-course luncheon Francis hosted last week for a dozen Argentine rabbis. Francis was hosting Rabbi Abraham Skorka and about 15 other rabbis from Buenos Aires who came to Rome en masse to visit their old friend, and the Vatican pulled out all the stops. Organizers turned to Ba'Ghetto, one of the best kosher restaurants in Rome's ghetto on the other side of the Tiber River, to cater the affair. "I decided to do it simple, because the pope is simple," said Amit Dabush, Ba'Ghetto's Israeli-born co-owner. "But the menu was full: He had to make a 'bella figura,'" or a good impression on his guests.

Europe's billion-dollar comet-chasing probe wakes up

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 03:07 PM PST

A file handout picture released by the European Space Agency (ESA) shows an artist's impression of the ESA probe Rosetta with Mars in the backgroundThe European probe Rosetta woke up Monday after a 31-month hibernation in a nearly decade-old quest to explore a comet, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced. Europe's most ambitious space mission, the craft was launched in 2004 on a trek of seven billion kilometres (4.3 billion miles) around the inner Solar System. Analysing this primeval stuff should unlock secrets of how the Solar System formed -- and possibly how life on Earth was kickstarted. "This was one alarm clock not to hit snooze on, and after a tense day we are absolutely delighted to have our spacecraft awake and back online," said Fred Jansen, ESA's Rosetta mission manager.
