1…………> World Cup final: France v Croatia 

It’s the biggest day in football, with France and Croatia only one win away from lifting the trophy in the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. 

Not on board the Croatia bandwagon? Fair enough. This French team is pretty magnificent, and they will be incredibly hard to stop. Here’s why they will win.
 Croatia seems to be a pretty firm underdog for this one. But those onlookers would be dead wrong. Here’s why…
And there are no changes to speak of from either side. Croatia sticks with Marcelo Brozovic in a defensive midfield role, and the French see no need to opt against starting Blaise Matuidi in their own midfield. So we kinda know what to expect from both sides now, it’s going to come down to execution on the day. 
Here we are, the biggest day in football. Years of qualifying and a month-long festival in Russia has brought us to this – France against Croatia, with the opportunity to lift the famous trophy only one victory away.

It’s been an excellent tournament and one that deserves a fitting final to send us out on a high note. All the ingredients are there for a memorable World Cup final, with both the French and Croatian teams littered with talent, but with such a prize on offer, will the big players freeze? And who will be the one to write his name into football folklore?

We can’t wait to find out. And you can follow every single bit of the action right here in our blog. Don’t go anywhere. 

Breaking: France 2, Croatia 1, 38 minutes in the game.

2…………> Chicago Violence: Casualties

Police in Chicago has clashed with protesters after an officer fatally shot a black man who was suspected of carrying a gun as a crowd of about 150 people shouted “murderers”, threw objects and jumped on police cars during the confrontation in Chicago’s South Side area.

Officers armed with batons traded punches with the protesters, and three officers sustained minor injuries and there were four arrests.

3…………> Not Much Expected: Trump/Putin Lunch

President Trump has said he has “low expectations” for his meeting with Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Finland, but he said that “nothing bad” and “maybe some good” would come out of the encounter.

He also said he would raise the subject of 12 Russians indicted for alleged hacking during the 2016 US election – but “hadn’t thought” about asking for their extradition, a news that will please his “collusion” detractors, and almost certainly anger his supporters.

4…………> Paraglider Message: Trump In Scotland

 

A paraglider with a flying banner that dove within 200 feet of the president read, “Trump Well Below Par #Resist,” despite no-fly zone implemented by Scottish officials for the duration of Mr. Trump stay, forcing security rushing indoors as the Greenpeace pilot comes over.

Although Greenpeace officials did inform the local police, the police air incident advisor and the Prestwick air traffic control about their plans, a manhunt has since been launched for the pilot.

1…………>  Forbidden Photos: US Government

During the Great Depression in the 1930s, a US government agency led a propaganda campaign that has only recently been uncovered.

The Whitechapel Gallery in London has dedicated an exhibition to these photographs titled Killed Negatives.

2…………> AG Deputy Rosenstein: US House 

Chairman Goodlatte, Ranking Member Nadler, and members of the Committee, I always welcome the opportunity to appear before this distinguished committee, but this is not a happy occasion.

Federal Bureau of Investigation employees deviated from important principles in 2016 and 2017. Everyone knew about some of the departures when they occurred – such as discussing criminal investigations and encroaching on prosecutorial decisions. We learned about others through an internal investigation – such as leaking to the news media and exhibiting political bias.

We need to correct errors, hold wrongdoers accountable, and deter future violations. Director Wray will describe what the FBI is doing to accomplish those goals. At the Department of Justice, our mandatory annual training will include lessons from the Inspector General’s report, and we are considering other recommendations.

We already revised the Department’s confidentiality policies to emphasize that “non-public, sensitive information obtained in connection with [our] work is protected from disclosure.” We intend to enforce that principle for our employees, and we need to demonstrate respect for it ourselves by protecting sensitive information entrusted to the FBI.

3…………> Trump, Putin Lunch: July 16th 

 

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet on July 16 in Helsinki, according to the Kremlin and the White House. 

The meeting will be the first official summit between the two leaders that will be closely watched by nervous US allies in Europe and critics of Russia in America. 

The two countries announced the details simultaneously a day after striking a deal on holding the meeting following a visit to Moscow on Wednesday by US national security adviser John Bolton. 

“The two leaders will discuss relations between the United States and Russia and a range of national security issues,” the White House said in a statement.

5…………> Life On Enceladus: Organics Detected 

An international spacecraft has discovered complex organic molecules originating from an icy moon orbiting the planet of Saturn, detected by the Cassini spacecraft after they were ejected in ice grains through cracks in Enceladus’ icy shell.

“It is the first-ever detection of complex organics coming from an extraterrestrial water world,” they said.

Cassini previously flew near to Enceladus in 2005 and discovered lighter organic molecules. Larger molecules like those recently detected are created by chemical processes that could support life, according to the European Space Agency (ESA).
