www.euronews.com Germany's Volkswagen and Porsche have completed their long-awaited tie-up. That came one day after Porsche posted a six-month profit of 1.15 billion euros, compared to a 149 million euro profit a year earlier. Once integration is completed, the two expect to gain over 700 million euros in savings in development, purchasing and production and erase Porsche's 2.5 billion euros of debt. Volkswagen's purchase of the second half of Porsche adds the super luxury - and super profitable - sports cars such as the iconic 911 model to its line-up. VW is already Europe's biggest carmaker. It is aiming to be the world number one by 2018. Both companies already cooperate in many areas. VW, which also includes luxury division Audi, makes the bodies for the Cayenne SUV and Panamera coupe, Porsche's two best-selling vehicles. They will jointly develop Porsche's next model, the Macan compact SUV, due to hit showrooms in 2014. *Long road to merger* The two manufacturers had first agreed a full merger in August 2009, after Porsche racked up more than 10 billion euros of debt in a failed attempt to take over VW, sparking feuds among the Porsche and Piech family dynasties. VW bought 49.9 percent of Porsche's sports car operations in December 2009 for 3.9 billion euros and had sought to acquire the remainder through a share-swap with the holding company. The car makers dropped the merger plan last year because of US and German investor lawsuits accusing Porsche of covertly <b>...</b>

With a few swift strokes, a pair of rowers managed to triple South Africa's Olympic medal count by winning the nation its third gold in this year's Games. That result put South Africa in an elite, and lonely, group on its own ...

U.S. officials say the Obama administration is giving $12 million in new humanitarian aid for beleaguered Syrian civilians as a civil war rages between rebels and the Assad regime in Aleppo and elsewhere.

AL-MARJ, Lebanon (Reuters) - Messages broadcast from mosque loudspeakers warned residents of Damascus neighborhoods to leave their homes and helicopter gunships spitting bullets made sure they heeded the call. Now home for 18 families from the Syrian capital is a school building in Lebanon's Bekaa Vally. But they claim they have been left to their fate by Lebanese authorities and international aid agencies. And when school restarts after the summer vacation, they have no idea where they will go. ...

LONDON (Reuters) - The Syrian army's brisk recapture of parts of Damascus is unlikely to be repeated in Aleppo, where open rebel supply lines, hard-to-assail narrow streets and an apparent lack of elite manpower will limit its commanders' options. The struggle in parts of Aleppo held by insurgents is likely to be more protracted than last month's battles in the capital, inflicting further bloodshed and damage on Syria's largest city and driving more of the population out, analysts say. ...
