THE WORLD in brief
Paris expands airport system to help traffic
PARIS - Facing congested runways around the capital, the French government announced yesterday that it will build a third commercial airport in the Paris region.
As a stopgap, two more runways will be built at Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport north of the capital, said government representative Francois Baroin.
Baroin said officials were studying where to build
the new airport, which would alleviate traffic into the city's two commercial airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly south of the capital.
No date has been set for the start of construction. The Paris airport system is the second-largest in Europe and seventh-largest in the world. Charles de Gaulle, Orly and the city's private business airport Le Bourget, have a combined annual traffic of 51.5 million passengers and 522,000 planes.
Big Mac offered cheese-free in parts of Holy Land
McDonald's opened its first kosher restaurant yesterday, giving observant Jews the chance to savor what has been taboo for long.
JERUSALEM — Two all-beet patties, special sauce, lettuce and, what's this, no cheese?
"The only difference is we are not serving some of the menu items like cheeseburgers, ice cream and milkshakes," said Omri Padan, owner of the Israeli franchise.
About 30 percent of Israelis eat only kosher food.
in which meat is never mixed with dairy products. In another concession to Jewish tradition, the restaurant, in the Jerusalem suburb of Mevasseret Zion, will be closed Saturday, the Jewish day of rest.
McDonald's has several non-kosher restaurants in Israel, including one in Jerusalem whose opening in May prompted protests by observant Jews.
They argued that at least in their holy city, McDonald's should observe Jewish religious law.
Three climbers disappear on Himalayan expedition
KATMANDU, Nepal — A Japanese man and two French climbers are missing in the Himalayan mountains, the government said yesterday.
The Tourism Ministry, which monitors all climbing expeditions, said Hisayoshi Tawaraya, 54, of Tokyo, was missing after he scaled
Dhaulagiri-I with a Nepalese guide on Friday.
Tawaraya reached the summit in the late afternoon, but was reported missing later that day. It was unclear if his guide returned to a base camp.

Three other expedition members who climbed the 26,951-foot mountain returned safely,the ministry said.
