Brendan Smialowski / AFP The US first couple has hardly gotten off to a conventional start. Now, after a period spent apart, it’s in for a very public test: life together in the Petri dish that is Washington. President Donald Trump, for instance, all but ignored First Lady Melania — left clambering out of a limo in a sumptuous, light blue designer dress and bearing a goodwill gift — as he bounded up the White House steps in January to greet President Barack Obama and wife Michelle on Inauguration Day. More recently the Slovenian former model appeared to swat away an outreached presidential hand as the couple walked along a red carpet upon arriving in Israel last month. The moment, captured on video during Trump’s first and very high profile overseas visit as president, quickly went viral. But now it seems i...

Ukraine celebrates visa-free travel to Europe as a waiver agreed with the EU enters into force on June 11. Sergei SUPINSKY / AFP Ukrainians were on Sunday celebrating the first day of visa-free access to the European Union, with hundreds crossing the border as President Petro Poroshenko proclaimed a dramatic “breakaway” from Moscow. The move is symbolic for Kiev, where a pro-EU revolt in 2014 toppled the previous Russia-backed government and was followed by Moscow’s annexation of the Crimea peninsula sparking a protracted ongoing conflict with pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. “The visa-free regime for Ukraine has started! Glory to Europe! Glory to Ukraine!” Poroshenko tweeted early Sunday after hundreds of Ukrainians crossed the EU border. Only those with biometri...

French voters went to the polls for the first round of parliamentary elections with President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party hoping to secure a clear majority. Fred Payet / AFP French voters went back to the polls on Sunday for the first round of parliamentary elections that are tipped to give President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party a commanding majority. Polling stations opened across France at 8:00 am (0600 GMT) and voting will continue in the largest cities until 8:00 pm (1800 GMT) with exit polls released immediately afterwards. Macron has enjoyed a smooth start in the five weeks since he beat far-right candidate Marine Le Pen to become France’s youngest-ever president, naming a cabinet that crosses left-right lines and making a big impression at international summits. ...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J By Oloruntimilehin Joshua Daramola I t is pertinent for people to always do and take to corrections. Thinking in retrospect makes people to do corrections. There-fore, people should look and think about their past deeds so that they would know what they did wrong that requires correction. No matter the condition or situation you may be, you are required to think of your past. If a person does not think of his past and make necessary corrections he or she might encounter suffering at the end of his/her life. The per-son may live long but in suffering before he or she dies. Imagine an 85-year old mother of seven children that lost all through death because she did not remember to make required correction. Three days after the death of her last child, she died. She did not take cognizance of what was responsible for the death of her children and make amends. People always focus on their future without looking back. In the course of my counseling, the Holy Spirit...

http://ift.tt/2sdVFzO The two neighbouring communities have had intractable conflict over land for more than a century. Two persons were reportedly injured on Friday in a renewed clash between Aguleri and Umuleri communities in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a residential building was also torched in the conflict while one person was shot in the leg and another reportedly inflicted with machete injuries.

Meanwhile, the traditional ruler of Umuleri, Igwe Benneth Emeka, denied any killing. According to the monarch, security op...
