Robert Mugabe has been sworn in as president of Zimbabwe after winning a highly-criticized runoff election. Final results show Mugabe won by more than a nine-one victory.

He fled to the Dutch Embassy for sanctuary 5.
Italian actress Sophia Loren says pictures of garbage piling in and around Naples has(have) brought her to tears. She's imploring 6 people to clean up the mess. The problem started in December when garbage collectors stopped picking up the trash because two dumps were shut down by the request of nearby residents. Loren grew up just outside Naples and calls the situation tragic 7. Naples has been cleaned up for the most part but the situation in surrounding areas is still bad. The government has since moved some of the waste to temporary landfills.
And on the Florida Panhandle, there is an animal visitor at the beach at Alligator 8 Point, but this is no gator. A 375-pound black bear lumbered 9 to the coastline before state wildlife officials tagged it with a tranquilizer dart 10. In this photo you can see the green dart sticking in its ear. A state biologist rescued the bear as it tried to swim away and became groggy 11. The bear wasn't hurt and was relocated to a much less populated area.
