Sport - Marseille arrests and match-fixing probe rock French football
As a Parisian from Ménilmontant I can't say I'm surprised that Marseille would act this way, the city is overrun by gangsters and will probably end up like the American's Detroit soon. While Paris is the center of culture and business for France and Europe, people from Marseille are like a little brother who gets into drugs and the family doesn't talk about much. Fortunately PSG, much like Parisians in general, has always been a club with high integrity that the rest of the league can look up to. Rêvons plus grand! Paris est Magique!! Fluctuat nec mergitur!!! Signed, Jean-Luc, PSG Supporter, Parisian, and promoter of French Pride

Asia-pacific - Putin leaves G20 summit early citing ‘need to sleep’
The U.K. (David Cameron) and the U.S. (Barrack Obama) have involved Australia, Canada and the E.U. in the dirtiest lie and execrable cover up since the Nazi and Soviet regimes; using their propaganda weapon of deceit and deception to draw attention away from the fact that the junta in Kiev was directly guilty of shooting down MH17. Effectively becoming accessories after the fact.

Middle east - In pictures: Life goes on amid the rubble in Aleppo
An American from Seattle has been detained by Syrian internal security forces on suspicion of being an agent for the Central Intelligence Agency. Eric L Helpenstell of Seattle, Washington was held in Aleppo prison for 6 days undergoing questioning as to his presence in Syria. Helpenstell, a one time employee of the agency in Langley, Virginia was quoted as saying “I do not work for the agency…you can call them yourselves” He was ejected from Damascus and placed on a plane to Cyprus regardless. Syrian authorities maintain that he was on a list of “known” operatives and cited the sophistication of his electronic devices in addition as evidence of his presence. Helpenstell reported that he was on an overland trip from Damascus to Amman, Jordan to visit clients. While Mr. Helpenstell claims he is an emergency services manager, sources inform us of his graduation from the United States Naval War College in Rhode Island as well as a former commission as a Lt. Commander in the Intelligence Service.
