France - Hollande blasts ‘cowardly’ murder of French hostage in Algeria
"FRANCE 24 has made an editorial decision not to broadcast the video" Good on you. I hope that other media organisations take heed and follow suit.

I don't want to appear sexist, which means of course that I am about to be, but wow what a beautiful lady. I wish Britain could find room for her in our Houses of Parliament!! Maybe her brain could embarrass some of our Politicians too

France - Sarkozy wiretapping corruption probe 'suspended'
"Alleged," "suspected," "possible misdeeds." It seems to me that the Socialists and current government are fearing Sarkozy and his future political plans and thus all the accusations without proof. Just like the New Jersey Liberals, along with the Liberal national media, went after Governor Christie with no proof, just accusations that proved to be false. The politics of the Liberals and Socialists: make the people think, through phony accusations, that the Conservatives are as corrupt as those making the false statements.

Asia-pacific - China launches land search for missing Malaysian plane
MALAYSIAN MH370 MISSING PLANE POSSIBILITY I recently started searching on Google Earth, and by accident I stumbled on what appears to be a large white plane like object, it seems to be resting inside an ocean like crater. There also seems to be other structures next to it, maybe hills, or mountains. I am not sure how accurate Google Earth Satellite Imagery is. Today, anything is possible. I believe that this could, might well be the missing Malaysian MH370 Plane. From the coordinates on Google Earth imagery, it seems real close to the last place the missing plane lost contact I posted this information and clips on Worldwide YouTube search;" Malaysian MH370 Or Other Missing Aircraft 8 20 2014” You can see the image clearer here as the images are zoomed in and out. Maybe this is the Malaysian plane, that got lost, or some other plane that has been missing. No one, still, does not now which route it took. What if this is it? It is in the vicinity of the Indian Ocean I strongly believe that this could be the MH370 if not, it can be another airline that has been lost and there should still be bodies within, with families and loved ones that would very much like closure. MAYBE THERE WAS A DEADLY VIRUS ON BOARD AND THE PILOT DECIDED THIS WAS BEST Toby

Middle east - IS militants force over 100,000 Kurds to flee into Turkey
With unrivaled Mideast hegemony, military expertise, preparedness and location, our inseparable ally has it all. Here lies opportunity for Israel to immediately serve and sacrifice for America as America has for Israel. We thank and honor the Jewish state for immediately seeking leading and on the ground roles in the forming coalition to destroy Daesh/ISIS/ISIL. Or, am I confused about this?
