Hugo Chavez, the charis
matic leftist who domi
nated his country with
sweeping political change
and flamboyant speeches,
died Tuesday at age 58,
after a long battle with cancer. Chavez held
sway over Venezuela through a cult of per
sonality, government reforms that champi
oned the downtrodden, and an endless
stream of rhetoric denouncing capitalism,
imperialism and the United States.

record high on Tuesday, a key level in its
recovery from the 2008 financial meltdown.

collapsed, the econom y has stum bled
through years of slow growth and high un
employment, and the country has experi
enced the worst financial crisis since the
Great Depression
New figures show a dramatic jum p in heat-
trapping carbon dioxide, making it very un
likely that global warming can be limited to
another 2 degrees as many global leaders
have hoped. Scientists say the rise in CO2
reflects the world's economy revving up and
burning more fossil fuels.

South Korean joint military drills. The state
ment came amid reports that Washington
and Beijing have approved a draft of a U.N.
