1: Boy, 11, survives 200-foot sliding fall

SALT LAKE CITY — Officials say an 11-year-old boy who tumbled down a 200-foot rock slope in northern Utah is recovering and was expected to be released from a hospital.

The Utah County Sheriff’s Office identified the boy as Cesar Varvagan of Orem.

Sgt. Spencer Cannon says the boy was hiking to Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon with his family on Sunday when he tumbled down a rocky, steep slope and came to rest above a trail along the Provo River.

2: Suit: Girl kicked out of camp over kiss

WESTPORT, Conn. — The parents of a 15-year-old Connecticut girl are suing a summer camp in Massachusetts, saying their daughter was kicked out of camp after she was kissed by a boy.

The lawsuit says the girl was kicked out of Camp Emerson in Hinsdale, Mass., last month and a camp official falsely accused her and the boy of sexually provocative behavior.

The suit does not name the girl or her parents.

Rosemarie Arnold, attorney for the family, says she filed the lawsuit Monday in Bridgeport Superior Court. It seeks more than $600,000 in damages, alleging negligent infliction of emotional distress, defamation and other claims.

3: Opposition leader rejects race results

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Cambodia’s opposition leader on Monday rejected the results of a weekend election showing a win for the long-time ruling party, raising fears of post-poll instability and setting the stage for a new showdown with Prime Minister Hun Sen.

The challenge by opposition leader Sam Rainsy, who returned from ex- ile last week to campaign for his Cambodia National Rescue Party, comes despite his party’s relative success in Sunday’s polling, in which the opposition made its biggest gains in years.

Provisional results from Sunday’s voting showed the opposition capturing 55 of the 123 seats in the National Assembly.

4: Officials increase worth of jewel heist

CANNES, France — Wearing a scarf to mask his face, the gunman held up at least three security guards and then fled the luxury Cannes ho- tel roughly a minute later with $136 million in diamond jewelry, more than twice the initial estimated worth of the loot.

The simple, speedy theft is the biggest jewelry heist in years. Police had previously said Sunday’s theft at the Carlton Intercontinental Hotel had netted $53 million worth of treasure. Reached by The Associated Press, Philippe Vique, an assistant prosecutor in the Riviera town of Grasse, said the Dubai-based organizer of the diamond show had since raised the value based on a more complete inventory.
