LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal captain Thierry Henry has ended speculation about his future by pledging to remain with the team. "The truth is I love this club and I have made up my mind to stay," the France striker was quoted as saying in the Sun on Saturday. "I can say to all my fans and the people who care about me, I want to lead the team out in the new stadium (next season). I'll talk to (manager) Arsene Wenger, to (vice-chairman) David Dein and the board and talk of the future. "My mind is  ...

By Michael Holden LONDON (Reuters) - The first thing Gary Stevens saw after a 650-metre walk down a dark, smoke-filled tunnel was a young man leaning against the wreckage of a London underground train with his left leg missing. But even that shocking sight was nothing compared to the carnage that greeted the duty station manager inside the carriages blown apart by a suicide bomber last July 7. "I didn't realise until then it was a bomb. He was hysterical saying 'we're all going to die, we're  ...

Google's video expansion, announced Friday at the Consumer Electronics Show, already has lined up commitments to sell thousands of downloads, including recent television broadcasts of popular CBS shows and professional basketball games, as well as vintage episodes  ...

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- The wife of Randy McCloy Jr., the only survivor of a West Virginia mine explosion that killed 12, said Friday she had faith that her critically ill husband would recover from injuries he incurred while trapped in the mine for almost two days. "If he was strong enough to pull through 41 hours in the mine, he's strong enough to pull through this," Anna McCloy told reporters.

By Andrew Marshall JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Surgeons staunched renewed bleeding in Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's brain in a five-hour operation on Friday but said they would only know the extent of damage when he comes out of sedation in days ahead. "We cannot yet assess the damage that was caused to the prime minister," Felix Umansky, one of the neurosurgeons treating the 77-year-old leader, told reporters late on Friday. "There is always damage in cases like these. We have to wait to s ...

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- I've been coming to Jerusalem for some 30 years. This is one of those stories that never seems to go away. As much as there have been glimmers of hope in the Israeli-Arab peace process -- the 1978 Camp David Accords and the 1979 Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty come to mind -- they have been too few in number. I was on the South Lawn of the White House in September 1993 when the late Yitzhak Rabin, then Israel's prime minister, shook hands with the late Palestinian leader Yasser ...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In what could be the death knell for Rep. Tom DeLay's hopes of returning to the House leadership and a wake-up call to the current GOP leaders, some moderate and conservative Republicans are officially calling on the House Republican leadership to hold elections in early February, CNN has learned. The effort is being spearheaded by conservative Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, and moderate Rep. Charlie Bass, R-New Hampshire. The two are circulating a petition. Under House Repu ...

DALLAS, Texas (AP) -- An ordinary fruit sticker that mysteriously ended up on a $20 bill could spur currency collectors to bid up to 1,000 times the bill's face value at an auction Friday. The flawed bill bears a red, green and yellow Del Monte sticker next to Andrew Jackson's portrait. The bill originated at a U.S. Treasury Department printing facility in Fort Worth, but how the fruit tag found its way onto the greenback is unknown. "I've collected for probably seven years now and nothing co ...

RENO, Nevada (AP) -- Conservationists sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Thursday seeking protection for a rare butterfly they say is threatened by off-road vehicles at one of the largest sand dunes in the West. Environmentalists want the agency to declare the Sand Mountain blue butterfly an endangered species because, they say, its habitat is being destroyed at the only place it is known to live -- the Sand Mountain Recreation Area in western Nevada.
