BUENOS AIRES. ARGENTINA
Colombian model Angie Sanclemente is declaring her innocence as her cocaine-smuggling trial begins in Argentina.
Also charged are her Argentine boyfriend, a Venezuelan and four other Argentines accused of recruiting beautiful young women to smuggle drugs to Cancun for $5,000 a trip. The former Colombian Coffee Queen said she came to Argentina to get married, not to commit crimes. But she also said that she knew her boyfriend was involved in "something criminal" and couldn't leave him.
The probe began when one of the suspects allegedly tried to fly to Mexico with 55 kilos of cocaine.
LONDON
Sanchemente was a fugitive in Argentina for months before her arrest. If convicted in the trial that began Tuesday, she faces up to 16 years in prison.
Britain's departed defense minister Liam Fox breached rules by allowing a personal friend access to meetings and overseas visits — including discussions with a U.S. military commander and senior Israeli officials, a report by the country's top civil servant ruled Tuesday.
Fox stepped down as defense secretary on Friday amid intense scrutiny over the role of Adam Werritty, who had posed as an aide, arranged private meetings and ioined at least 18 trips overseas.
The former defense lobbyist, who was the best man at Fox's wedding in 2005, had no official government role but appeared frequently at the minister's side across the globe.
In a report on an official inquiry, Cabinet Secretary Gus O'Donnell criticized Fox for allowing Werrity access to talks, sharing sensitive details of his travel schedule and failing to disclose links between his friend and political donors.
PORT-AU-PRINCE. HAITI
A trial has started for police officers accused of killing at least 11 inmates in a prison in southwestern Haiti following last year's deadly earthquake.
Judge Valvale Ezequiel says the trial of 13 officers will include testimony from dozens of witnesses in the coastal town of Les Caves.
The officers face charges that include murder and attempted murder for firing on prisoners during a riot in the overcrowded prison a week after the devastating January 2010 earthquake. Prisoners said they were afraid the prison walls would crumble during the afterschocks.
The officers allegedly stormed the prison to prevent a mass escape like the one that occurred in the country's main penitentiary in the capital.
The trial started Tuesday.
Yemeni government forces opened fire Tuesday on protesters in Sanaa, killing 12 and injuring more than 70, a medical official said, a day after the capital witnessed its worst fighting in weeks.
SANAA.YEMEN
Hommad al-Qubati, the director of a field hospital at the main protest site in Sanaa dubbed "Change Square," said more than 70 protesters were injured in the protests demanding the resignation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Tens of thousands of protesters marched through Sanaa, led by shirtless young men with the words "Leave ... you butcher" scrawled across their chests, referring to Saleh.
Soldiers from the Republican Guard, a loyalist unit led by Saleh's son Ahmed, arrested four female protesters who were ahead of the main demonstration, said activist Habib al-Uraiqi.
Abdel-Rahman Berman of Yemen's National Organization for Defending Rights and Freedoms (HOOD) said Saleh's forces used live ammunition and harsh tear gas.

Actor pushes film during SUA event
Actor Andy Dick entertained students in a small, but spirited SUA event Monday night.
SUA hosted a screening of Dick's new film, "Division III: Football's Fineset" at Woodruff Auditorium followed by a Q&A with Dick and director Marshall Cook. Dakota Strange, SUA spirit coordinator, said about 80 people attended the event. Strange said SUA had faced challenges in advertising the event but that Dick was able to interact with the smaller audience in a one-on-one way.
"Division III: Football's Finest" is about the misadventures of a Division III football team pursuing excellence. Dick has starred in the NBC show "NewsRadio" and the ABC show "Less Than Perfect." He also been arrested previously and pleaded guilty to marijuana use and sexual battery of a 17-year-old, among other offenses.
Strange said Dick answered humorous questions, but also gave
serious advice about going into the film business, telling students to be persistent.
In an interview with The Kansan, Dick said he thought the University was beautiful and that he had enjoyed his time on campus, even though turnout wasn't what had been expected.
Dick
Earlier in the day, Dick
had been spotted around the city.
"Anyone see Andy Dick driving around #ku screaming out the window?" SUA tweeted.
The actor also made a stop at the Merc. Dick like his food raw, a fact he spoke about at length during his interview. He said that he had been looking for pistachios, but was unsuccessful until he reached the check-out counter.

"F—ing raw pistachios were there the whole time," Dick said.
