...tallest skyscraper is to die for. Still months from completion, the upper floors are currently enveloped by the usual chaos of construction, but there are glimpses of what will be a spectacular, 360-degree panorama. The outlook to the west is particularly stunning--a sweep down the wide swath of Chang'an Avenue, past the Forbidden City, over roofs and parks all the way to the hazy crests of the Western Hills.

Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter told TIME that Israel now seeks the release of two Israeli soldiers held by Hizballah, the cessation of all attacks on Israel from Lebanon, and the creation of a "fire zone" along the southern Lebanese border. This swath will be taken over, he says, by a brawny multi-national force, and when that happens, Israel will withdraw.
