Lac-Megantic, Quebec (CNN) -- Five more bodies have been recovered from the scene of runaway train disaster in Quebec, raising the death toll to 33, a Canadian provincial police official said Saturday. The bodies were pulled from where a train crashed in the town of Lac-Megantic, Capt. Michel Forget said.

The Sun newspaper reported it happened as the plane, carrying 275 passengers, was over the North Sea.

A beached 30-foot sperm whale near Tampa, Florida, attracted hundreds of onlookers Thursday afternoon as biologist decided to euthanize the animal, according to CNN affiliate WTSP. Sperm whales are rarely seen close to shore, and this whale appeared to be emaciated, according to biologists. Because the large whale wouldn't have been able to survive on its own, veterinarians from the University of Florida decided to euthanize it. They gave the whale a strong sedative before administering a drug by plunging a 6-foot needle into the whale's chest cavity to stop its heart. "Although it looks large and scary, it is a very humane thing to do," said Erin Fougeres, a marine mammal biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. She added the technique has been used many times before on large whales. The whale carcass was towed away, and scientists plan a necropsy on Friday.

(CNN) -- Sudanese authorities ordered the Red Cross to halt its activities in the nation starting Saturday, citing technical reasons, the aid agency said. The International Committee of the Red Cross says it has worked in Sudan for 36 years. "We help people affected by the conflict in Darfur, provide seed, tools, food and water, and re-establish contact between people separated by the fighting," it says on its website. "The ICRC also promotes international humanitarian law and the protection of civilians affected by the conflict."

Sudan has seen raucous protests in recent months, some met with violent force by government security forces.

(Rolling Stone) -- Even with just 10 tracks and no session details, this companion to Martin Scorsese's 2011 documentary deserves a brass--band welcome. Six outtakes come from the presumptuous stages of George Harrison's 1970 triumph, "All Things Must Pass," including a sweet--Nashville reading of "Behind That Locked Door," "My Sweet Lord" as acoustic hosanna and a demo of the title song that betrays its roots in the band's frontier hymnal. The Bob Dylan and Everly Brothers covers have more sheen but also the intimate grace of the quiet Beatle's seventies solo prime. This set's subtitle suggests there are more rarities to come; based on the quality here, I propose a full--blown Anthology. See full story at RollingStone.com. Copyright © 2011 Rolling Stone.

(CNN) -- Greece state broadcaster ERT is back on the air after being shut down by the government in June. The government, facing severe economic problems, had said earlier it decided to close the broadcaster while it created a smaller operation to cut costs.

There's a little too much throwing stuff at a wall (the florid Spanish house track, the Serge Gainsbourg tribute) and, oddly, their bailiwick synth-rock sometimes feels theatrically heavy-handed, more Killers than Parallel Lines.
