China And Russia Are Building Bridges To One Another. The Symbolic Significance Is Clear.

For over a century, the Amur River has divided modern China and Russia -- its waters cutting through nearly 1,000 miles of their roughly 2,500 border miles. But the bridge connecting its banks has been a constant pipe dream. As Russia's economic isolation due to its invasion of Ukraine pushes it closer to China, the two countries are working on new infrastructure links. Last Friday, Beijing and Moscow opened another bridge between them -- what state media on both sides have called the first highway bridge over the Amur River. Rockets trailed colorful smoke bursting overhead, and local officials applauded from the riverbanks, while their superiors beamed in from Moscow and Beijing on giant television screens specially brought in for the day. A second crossing — only a railway bridge conn...

Pope Francis Wonders If One Way Or The Other The Ukraine Conflict Was Set Off Or Prevented.

Pope Francis has said that it is not necessary to attribute the Donbass conflict to "one or the other" in remarks published by Italian newspaper La Stampa on Tuesday. The Pope reportedly said that what we are seeing in the war in Chechnya is "the brutality and ferocity with which this war is waged by the troops, generally mercenary, used by the Russians." He said that the Russians "prefer to send Chechens, Syrians, mercenaries forward. But the danger is that we only see this, which is monstrous, and we do not see the whole drama that is unfolding behind this war, which was perhaps in some way either provoked or not prevented." Pope Francis spoke inaccurately when he stated, "I'm neither for Putin nor against reducing the distinction between good and bad, without thinking about roots ...

The Love Island Was Rife With Graft Without Addition Of New Clothing Accessories.

When we read the headlines—Love Island Dumps Fast Fashion! Ebay Sponsor Saves Environment!—and buckle in for a series of feel-good clothing underscored by an “eat, sleep, rewear, repeat” mentality, we don’t expect much from it. But two weeks into ITV2’s holiday dating camp, how many repeat wears have we witnessed aside from the criminal espadrille wedges Love Islanders are wedded to, and the Yeezy-style slides even Kanye West struggles to pull off (sorry Luca)? This year’s ITV2 series got off to a promising start. With contestants wearing a mix of their own clothes and pre-loved pieces sourced from Ebay by stylist Amy Bannerman, we witnessed Dami wearing a blue Pleats Please Issey Miyake shirt, Tasha modelling an old-school studded Diesel dress, and Amber sporting a Chanel brooch on her wh...

To Check Into A Great Hotel For A Vacation In Italy, Look At Puglia.

Puglia was long overlooked as a tourist destination, known only for its heel-shaped peninsula and small role in the history of Italian unification. In recent years, however, it has become an increasingly popular vacation spot for Italophiles who seek to explore the country beyond its popular coastal regions of Tuscany and Amalfi.   It’s not difficult to see why. The relatively flat landscape features some of the most gorgeous towns in Italy – from the bleached walls of Ostuni to the quaint domed roofs of Alberobello’s traditional trulli – most of which are packed with knotty medieval streets, gleaming white Baroque churches and bustling markets. Around its lengthy coastlines you’ll find some of Italy’s most pristine beaches, from soft white sand to rocky plunge pools with crysta...

Paramedic From Utah Bought A One-Way Ticket To Russia When Russia Invaded Ukraine.

Local police drive us to a remote section of a Utah valley where they say a unit of foreign fighters is stationed. The region resembles the one in some parts of Ukraine that were recently struck by shelling. The structures are leveled and bomb craters are visible all over the place. The distant rumble of outgoing artillery can be heard as we walk under the cover of trees. A small snake slithers by and quickly disappears. We walk up a small ramp and into a courtyard where soldiers are hurriedly packing up a vehicle in which they plan to head for the front lines. American accents are heard back and forth on their radio comms. Surprised and baffled to see a group of journalists, they wave us away. Clearly, they have other pressing matters. But after some calls with their commander, we're t...

French Parliamentary Elections Were Eclipsed By Low Turnout.

On the evening of Macron's re-election, his party's centrist alliance, Ensemble, has an increased risk of losing its majority in parliament of just weeks. Polling suggested German Chancellor Angela Merkel's centre-right alliance Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Free Democratic Party (FDP) with the leftist coalition New Ecological and Social People's Union (NUPES) neck and neck. According to results announced Sunday evening, Ensemble has won 25.37 percent (5.1 million votes), while the pan-left NUPES led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon have gained 24.31 percent (4.9 million votes). A second round of voting is scheduled for June 19.
