Dubai officials claims there are no injuries in a raging fire in a 86-story residential skyscraper in the United Arab Emirates city.  Flames burst forth from the now-ironically named Torch Tower early in the morning, driving by strong wind.  Flaming debris plunged from the highest storeys onto the street below.  The building is/was popular with expatriates working in Dubai.

Greece and the Eurozone have agreed on a plan to extend the current bailout by four months.  It’s a broad agreement, and several details will be worked out next week, but it shows that both sides really wanted to get this thing going before next week’s deadline.  Germany did not get what it wanted, which was to get Greece to stick with the original terms of the bailout deal without deviation.  But it’s difficult to see what Greece got – yes, it steps back from the brink of leaving the Eurozone, but EU-imposed “austerity” remains in place, and the bailout money is still going to Greece’s banks, not to social or employment programs. 

Five people were hurt when two passenger trains collided and derailed in Zurich, Switzerland.

Officials in London fear that three British schoolgirls will attempt to cross from Turkey to Syria in order to join up with Islamic State (IS).  The three – 15-year old Shamima Begum, 16-year old Kadiza Sultana, and a 15-year old whose name is withheld at her family’s request – flew from London to Istanbul without triggering any suspicion.  Officials hope the girls are still in Turkey – because once they are in Syria, IS does not allow people to leave alive.

The Islamic State affiliate in Libya bombed targets in the eastern town of al-Qubbah, killing at least 40 people.  IS says this was in revenge for Egyptian air strikes.

Al-Shabaab suicide bombers attacked a hotel in the Somali capital Mogadishu killing 20 people, including senior government officials.  Gunmen then stormed the mosque inside the Central Hotel and opened fire on people taking part in Friday prayers.  Somalia’s deputy prime minister and other ministers had been at the hotel at the time but reportedly survived the attack.

Venezuela’s opposition is apoplectic after prosecutors indicted the mayor of Caracas on charges of plotting violence against President Nicolas Maduro’s government.  The court ordered Antonio Ledezma held at a military prison until trial, the same facility holding opposition street protest leader Leopoldo Lopez, who was arrested after people died in his demonstrations last year.  Ledezma allegedly was a signatory to a document called the “National Transition Agreement”, which called for the democratically-elected Socialist government to be overthrown, put its leaders on trial, and seek funding from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

India is struggling to deal with a nasty outbreak of H1N1 Swine Flu that’s killed more than 700 people since mid-December.  Confirmed infections doubled in a week to more than 11,000.  Health Minister JP Nadda is also combating rumors of flu drug shortages, and insisting there is no reason for people to panic.

The UN World Health Organization approved the first rapid blood test for Ebola, which reportedly can identify the potentially lethal virus in just 15 minutes.  Current tests take 12 or 24 hours – which is actually a long time given the rapid rate in which the Ebola virus can overwhelm the human immune system.  Trials of the ReEBOV Antigen Rapid Test suggest it correctly identifies about 92 percent of people who have been infected with the Ebola virus.
