President Hugo Chavez has tightened his grip on Venezuela s energy resources, following through on threats to punish international companies that resist government control of the nation s oil fields.Venezuela seized two oil fields from France s Total SA and Italy s Eni SpA after the companies failed to comply with a government demand that operations be turned over to state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA, or PDVSA, Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said Monday.

The veteran restaurateur, who has opened more than 30 restaurants over his career and now leads more than a dozen acclaimed Chicago establishments, is facing a new round of restrictions on eateries in the state as Illinois battles an alarming surge in COVID-19.

CBS/AP BEIJING - It ended in one day. The secretive yet high-profile trial of Gu Kailai and a household aide for the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood lasted just about four hours, with a guilty verdict all but assured and the possibility of a death sentence looming. Gu, the wife of disgraced Chinese politician Bo Xilai, sat in the courtroom seemingly impassive as prosecutors laid out their case: how she lured him to a hotel room, got him drunk and personally poured poison down his throat, reports CBS News correspondent Barry Petersen.The speed of the trial, while not necessarily unusual for China, underscored the ruling Communist Party s anxiousness to put the scandal behind them quickly. The party is embarrassed because there are allegations of corruption that could reach in to the party s highest ranks.Most observers think the trial is more about the party going after Bo, who was party boss of one of China s biggest cities. He was on his way to a seat in the elite politburo that runs China but was suddenly stripped of his leadership role.International media were barred from the courtroom, so details of the case against Gu were provided afterward by Tang Yigan, the court s stanley cup deputy director.
