NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
SANTIAGO, CHILE
Researchers in Chile released a series of time-lapse photos on Wednesday showing the dramatic retreat of a glacier in Patagonia.
The Jorge Montt Glacier is shrinking faster than any other in Chile, glaciologist Andres Rivera said, with its snout retreating 1 kilometer (more than half a mile) between February 2010 and January 2011.
Rivera said that global warming is a factor and that the glacier also is melting especially quickly because it partly rests in the waters of a growing florid.
LONDON
Researchers presented a video showing the glacier's yearlong retreat through a total of 1,445 time-lapse photos.
The glacier is about 1,800 kilometers (1,100 miles) south of Santiago in the Southern Patagonia ice Field, which blankets a wide swath of the Andes between Chile and Argentina.
British police have arrested an 18th suspect in their investigation into phone hacking by the News of the World tabloid, the Rupert Murdoch-owned U.K. paper shut down earlier this year.
The 41-year-old man was held Wednesday on suspicion of conspiring to intercept voice mail messages and pervert the course of justice, London's Metropolitan Police said.
The man's name was not released, but media including Sky News — which is 39 percent owned by Murdoch's News Corp. — identified him as Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator who was previously jailed for hacking into the voicemail messages of royal staff while working for the News of the World.
Police said later the man had been questioned at a police station in south London and released on police bail until late March, pending further investigations.
CAIRO
Egypt's military rulers said Wednesday the next parliament will not be representative enough to independently oversee the drafting of a constitution, and they will appoint a council to check the influence of religious extremists on the process.
The announcement followed a surprisingly strong showing by Islamist groups who took the overwhelming majority in the first round of parliamentary elections. The outcome caused concern among the liberals who drove Egypt's uprising and the military, which took power from ousted leader Hosni Mubarak.
"We are in the early stages of democracy," said Gen. Mukhtar Mulla, a member of the ruling military council. "The parliament is not representing all sectors of society."
In theory, the new parliament will be entrusted with forming a 100-member constituent assembly to write the new constitution.
KARIII
The fallout from this week's deadly suicide bombing in Kabul has further splintered Afghanistani's relations with neighboring Pakistan and set back the U.S.-led military campaign to stabilize the region before international troops leave at the end of 2014.
The attack that killed 56 people and wounded more than 160 others outside a Shiite shrine highlighted a marked decline in security in the Afghan capital over the past year. Afghan forces, who have been in charge of security in Kabul for more than a year, have had successes in foiling plots and minimizing casualties, but insurgents increasingly slip through checkpoints and conduct complex assaults.
Ties between Afghanistan and Pakistan were already frayed when President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday blamed a Pakistan-based extremist group for the bombing at the shrine.

Lawmakers resolve to sniff out landfill odor
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Rhode Island residents have complained for weeks about foul odors wafting from the state's main landfill, so state lawmakers are pledging to investigate and see where their noses lead them.
The General Assembly announced Wednesday that state Rep. Stephen Uccil will lead a commission that will try to put an end to the rotten-egg smell at the Johnston landfill. The odor has prompted complaints from
as far away as Attleboro, Mass., about 14 miles away.
The agency that operates the landfill blames recent rains for the smell and has installed vents to trap gasses coming from it.
Ucci says he has received more constituent calls about the odor than any other issue in his seven years in the Legislature.
The commission's first meeting is scheduled for Dec. 16.
