The wreckage of a Russian passenger airliner
carrying 48 people that went missing during a
demonstration flight over Indonesia has been
located in a mountainous area. However, rescue
workers have yet to find any survivors. Teams are
searching for debris at a height of about 5,800
feet on the side of Mount Salak, a volcano south
of Jakarta. The cause of the crash remained
unclear.

  • A full interview will be airing with President
    Barack Obama endorsing same-sex marriage -- the
    first American president to do so. Obama once
    opposed such marriages. He later indicated his
    views were "evolving.""I had hesitated on gay
    marriage, in part, because I thought civil unions
    would be sufficient," the president said. "I was
    sensitive to the fact that -- for a lot of people
    -- that the word marriage is something that
    provokes very powerful traditions and religious
    beliefs."But, Obama said, his thinking shifted as
    he witnessed committed same-sex marriages and
    thought about U.S. service personnel who were
    "not able to commit themselves in a marriage.
    The announcement puts Obama squarely at odds with
    presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt
    Romney, who on Wednesday said during an
    appearance in Oklahoma, "I believe marriage is a
    relationship between a man and a woman."A Gallup
    Poll released Tuesday indicated 50 of Americans
    believe same-sex marriages should be recognized
    by law as valid, with 48 saying such marriages
    should not be legal. The president said he
    supports the concept of states deciding the issue
    on their own.
