BLITZER: A new man on the ground in Libya in charge of the diplomacy. Lisa Sylvester is monitoring that and some of the other top stories in THE SITUATION ROOM right now. Lisa, what's the latest?</s>LISA SYLVESTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, there, Wolf. That man, Lawrence Pope, arrived in Tripoli today. He'll take over diplomatic duties in the wake of Ambassador Chris Steven's death. Pope comes out of retirement to take this job. He speaks Arabic and French and spent more than three decades in the diplomatic ranks before retiring in 2000. He has served as ambassador to Chad and held other senior posts. And Hezbollah is claiming responsibility for a drone that was shot down by Israel over the weekend. In a televised speech today the leader says his group sent the drone more than 125 miles down the Mediterranean deep into Israel. He says it was Iranian-made. Israeli security experts had quickly blamed Hezbollah, a Shiite militia based in southern Lebanon. And diamonds, the astronomer's best friend, well, U.S. and French research team has discovered a planet twice the size of earth made largely of sparkly rock, pretty amazing stuff. It's orbiting a sun- like star in the constellation of Cancer. And it's moving so fast that a year there is just 18 hours. It's also really hot. Temperatures there can reach 3,900 degrees Fahrenheit. And it is time to go buy some stamps because the U.S. Postal Service just announced that the cost of stamps is going up a penny in January. If the Postal Regulatory Commission okays the increase, sending a letter first class will cost you now 46 cents. The postal service also plans to introduce a global forever stamp, letting you mail letters anywhere in the world for one dollar and ten cents. The story, though, that, Wolf, I'm most fascinated is about that planet -- fascinating -- a planet made of diamonds, Wolf -- imagine that.</s>BLITZER: Imagine that. Thanks very much, Lisa.
