Probably happens many times a day all over the world. Hardly newsworthy.

I'm waiting for the Daily Mail, The Sun, The Mirror, Daily Star, etc. to come up with some claptrap saying that because there has been AF447, the JFK incident and now this technical problem, AF are suddenly the most unsafe airline

Hydraulic problem. Crew could not fully retract the landing gear after departure from Caracas. The airplane entered a holding to troubleshoot the problem, after about 25 minutes the crew declared emergency however the aircraft burned off fuel before landing safely at Caracas almost 3 hours after departure.
