Yahoo.co.uk: While UK's infant future King, Prince George, may have stolen the headlines lately, Buckingham Palace is throwing the spotlight onto the current monarch in a new exhibition.

It's 60 years since the then Princess Elizabeth rode to Westminster Abbey in the Gold State Coach to be crowned Queen. To celebrate and remember June 2, 1953 in all its pomp and ceremony, the Royal Collections Trust has brought together a selection of the finest objects and clothes used and worn on the day.

Curator Caroline de Guitaut says it is the first time these pieces of history have been brought back together in one place.

Guitaut said, "This year marks the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty the Queen's coronation, and it's particularly fitting that we should therefore bring together not only Her Majesty the Queen's coronation dress and magnificent coronation robe, but also dresses, uniform and other objects and artefacts worn or used on coronation day here in Buckingham Palace."

The centrepiece of the new exhibition is the coronation dress, designed by Norman Hartnell. The final design included embroideries of the four National Emblems of the United Kingdom: the rose symbolizing England, the Scottish thistle, the Welsh daffodil, and the shamrock of Northern Ireland.

The state robe, worn with the coronation dress, was made by Ede and Ravenscroft and embroidered in colored silk and gold and silver thread by the Royal School of Needlework. Alongside the garments worn by the Earl Marshall are clothes worn by Prince Charles and Princess Anne, aged four and two respectively.

The exhibition also features accessories such as earrings and necklaces as well as stunning regal crowns such as the King George IV State Diadem, made in 1820, which was worn by Elizabeth on her way to the coronation, and the Cartier Diamond Halo Tiara made in 1936 and worn at the coronation by Princess Margaret, borrowed from her sister.

Another curio from the ceremony, on display for the first time, is the Anointing Gown which was worn over the coronation dress during the sacred anointment ceremony.

Finally, in the State Dining Room, table displays from the coronation state banquets, held on the 3rd and 4th of June, have been recreated with the same silver gilt and Sevres porcelain used in 1953.

The exhibition runs until the end of September.

EURO-SWISS: Since mid July, the euro-Swiss cross, currently around Chf1.2341 has
seen support above Chf1.23 and shown reluctance to press much over Chf1.2400.
UBS strategists Gareth Berry and Geoffrey Yu note that UBS has been sellers of
Swissy "for 6 weeks in a row and now demand for the cross is spreading." More
recently, hedge funds, asset managers, corporates and private wealth accounts
"were all better buyers of EURCHF," they say. An earlier UBS report from last
week said "SNB data on custody holdings suggest Swiss fund managers have started
to buy portfolio assets abroad again having eschewed external investments since
the eurozone debt crisis began in 2010." Mansoor Mohi-uddin of UBS warned that
"investors should thus be prepared for the risk of spikes in EURCHF breaching
this year's highs of 1.26-1.27."

Yahoo.co.uk: Fitch removes French AAA rating
Yahoo.co.uk news: French lost its last AAA rating from major rating agency on Friday. This is a serious blow to the president Hollande, whose government is trying to control public finances and stimulate the sluggish economy into growth.
Fitch downgrades one level of the France national credit rating to AA +, who pointed out that the French debt outlook is deteriorating and economic environment is uncertain, because of the comeback risk of the eurozone crisis.
French economy slides into mild recession in the first quarter. Earlier last year, Standard & Poor's and Moody's have removed France's AAA rating.
Fitch mentioned in explaining its downgrade reasons that it has many reasons to worry about, including France's weakening economic output, jumped unemployment, budget deficit and weak external demand.
Fitch said in a statement that the risk of fiscal outlook aspects "mainly based on the downside". The outlook for new rating is stable.
"Chronically high debt ratio reduces the leeway of negative impact of fiscal digestion cushion." Fitch said.
Fitch extends the time estimate that required from France for debt reduction. Fitch thinks that debt ratio relative to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will hit a high of 96% next year. It will still up to 92% in 2017.

Pilots of the Doomed Flight of Asiana Requested Evacuation Delay

As Chairman of National Transportation Safety Board explained on Wednesday, after the stop of an uncontrollable Boeing 777 of Asiana, two attendants went to the cockpit to ask three pilots for solutions. They said that they were communicating with the control tower and requested them to postpone the evacuation.

Deborah A. P. Hersman said, the evacuation did not start until an attendant told people in front of him the breakout of fire outside. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the "survival factors" they mentioned as much as possible through this air crash. Two passengers died in this accident.

According to Hersman, there were two emergency slides of two exits opened in cabin which trapped an attendant. One slide is at the right front cabin door (which is used to transport food supply) and the other is at the emergency exit on the right side of fuselage. At that time, the fire was spreading from the burning right engine to the whole fuselage and conditions even were getting worse. These two attendants had already rescued but were both injured by the slides.

Moreover , there exits a confusing detail. The truly flying pilot is an experienced commander who had flied the 777 for a short period. In addition, it was the first time that he had landed the plane in San Francisco. It was reported that he told the Korean investigators that at the height of about 500 inches (about 152 meters) his eyes were hurt by a strong light that he could see nothing at a time

"We are really not sure what the light is", explained Hersman in the press conference. She added that the videotape showed that evacuation began after the flight had stopped for one and a half minutes. Pilots' decisions will be surely criticized, but, she said, people in cockpit were unable to see the condition behind the plain. After all at that moment, the plain's tail had been broken off and the engine was damaged. /Zhang Yan

Do you know who British now care about most? Princess Kate and her baby.

And who the media want most? Also Kate and the new generation of the royalty she will give birth to.

As British media reported on July 11, the day of July 12 is Kate's due date, but journalists from different countries seem too bored to wait for long time.

Journalists have waiting for news for completely a week outside the hospital. So bored are they that they begin to interview each other: British journalists interview the American journalists and Japanese interview Canadian who then interview Germany. Photographers are even freer that they put the filming ladders on the roadside and then take photos of them.

Besides, journalists have organized some "gambling" only within the media workers on such things as the baby's name and hair color, etc. As can be seen on the board at the roadside, James becomes the most popular name for a boy, Alexandra for a girl./Zhang Yan

yahoo.co.uk news:Snowdon half slightly wounded appearances

Snowdon allow lawyers to help him obtain political asylum status in Russia



July 12 (RIA Novosti) – A meeting between fugitive intelligence contractor Edward Snowden and representatives from Russian human rights organizations will take place at Moscow's Sheremetyevo aiport on Friday afternoon, airport officials have confirmed.Edward Snowden
“The meeting will be at 5:00 p.m.," said a spokesperson for Sheremetyevo airport, which is owned by the Russian state. "We will provide access and a location for the meeting."
Russian human rights organizations and lawyers said Friday that they have been invited to a meeting with Snowden in Sheremetyevo. It was not immediately clear whether the invitation was genuinely from Snowden, though the email address used did include his name.
“I received an invitation yesterday for 4:30 p.m. at Sheremetyevo,” said prominent Moscow lawyer Henri Reznik, “He sent invitations not only to me, but to other human rights activists.”
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, a representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, prominent laywer Henrikh Padva and head of Russian rights organization “Resistance” Olga Kostina all confirmed Friday that they had been invited to the meeting.
Snowden, who is wanted by Washington on charges of espionage and property theft after he leaked details of secret state surveillance programs, has been holed up in Sheremetyevo's transit zone since arriving on a June 23 flight from Hong Kong. Despite the efforts of dozens of reporters to find him, Snowden has not been seen in public, nor made any official statements, since his arrival in Moscow.
The full text of the alleged invitation from Snowden was published on Facebook by Tatyana Lokshina, deputy director of the Moscow branch of Human Rights Watch, who said that she received it at 5 p.m. on Thursday from the email address edsnowden@lavabit.com.
The email's sender said that he had been, “extremely fortunate to enjoy and accept many offers of support and asylum from brave countries around the world… Unfortunately, in recent weeks, we have witnessed an unlawful campaign by officials in the US government to deny my right to seek and enjoy this asylum.”
Snowden, who has had his passport revoked by the United States, has submitted over 20 asylum applications to countries across the world. Latin American states including Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela have said that they would be prepared to offer him refuge.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said case of Snowden is a human rights issue, and that Russia will not extradite him to the United States, where he could face the death penalty.
“Snowden himself sincerely believes, for one reason or another, that he is a rights activist, a fighter for the ideals of democracy and human freedom,” Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov said earlier this month. “This is admitted by Russian human rights activists and Russian human rights organizations, and their foreign colleagues.”
Peskov said Friday that Snowden was not on the Kremlin’s agenda, had not requested a meeting with presidential officials.
Those attending the Snowden meeting will rendezvous with airport staff in the center of the arrivals hall of Terminal F of Sheremetyevo Airport holding a sign marked “G9,” according to the email invitation published by Lokshina.
A separate email sent subsequently from the same address, also allegedly from Snowden, said that the meeting will be closed to journalists, but there will be another gathering later on for media representatives, Reuters reported.
Snowden has denied that he has provided Russia with classified information since his arrival in Russia almost three weeks ago. Russian President Vladimir Putin has also said repeatedly that the former CIA employee was not working with Russian intelligence services.

July 12 (RIA Novosti) – Ecuador will not recognize the passport of a citizen of the world, issued for ex-CIA employee Edward Snowden, if the American attempts to enter the country, an Ecuadorian deputy foreign minister said on Thursday.
The World Service Authority (WSA), a Washington-based charity and executive branch of the World Government of World Citizens, issued earlier in the week a passport of the citizen of the world for Snowden, as his American passport was revoked by the US authorities.
“We are not recognizing this passport, international or universal, as valid to enter the country,” Marco Albuja said in an interview with FM Mundo radio station.
Snowden, who is wanted by the United States for leaking details of secret state surveillance programs, arrived in Russia on a flight to Moscow from Hong Kong on June 23. The US authorities have revoked Snowden’s passport, and he is now believed to be holed up in the transit area of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport.
Snowden has submitted more than 20 requests for asylum. Most have been rejected, or countries have told the former National Security Agency contractor that he must be present on their soil to submit such an application.
Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro said on Monday that his country had received a request for political asylum from Snowden and was waiting for his arrival.

Yahoo.co.uk: holding “world passport” Edward Joseph Snowden still unaccounted

WWW.Yahoo.co.uk News on July 11: Wiki leaks said Edward Joseph Snowden, a former employee of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the leaker of PRISM would board “the flight to freedom”, agreeing to disclose more information on social websites. As the news went to press, Wiki leaks still said nothing about Snowden’s track. Although three Hispanic countries have agreed to protect Snowden, it was reported by Russian Media that Snowden had not went to Venezuela for shelter. Guesses about Snowden’s fate are in the air.

Snowden had been staying the Moscow Airport for more than two weeks. Is he already on the board, and if so, which country does he will fly to?



Snowden had been staying in the transit zone of Moscow Airport. According to Russian officers, without travel documents, Snowden had to wait in the transit zone after his passport was annulled by US. Although leaders of Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela have promised him political asylum, without passport, it seems impossible for Snowden to arrive in these countries.



Does the “world passport” help Snowden on board? What will Snowden do without passport”?

Yahoo.co.uk quoted from The Venezuelan south television stations: a non-government organization issued a so-called “world passport” to Snowden which has English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and Esperanto edition. WSA emphasized that the Esperanto edition can be officially admitted by ICAO. Holders of the passport can take a plane and leave the airport legally.

As media guess, Snowden can firstly fly to Ecuador, then to Venezuela. It is reported that although Venezuela does not legally admit the word passport, the WSA website shows that the customs of Venezuela sealed on the world passport during 1995 to 1996, which means “in fact” Venezuela admits this passport.

However, there are many countries denying the passport issued by WSA, considering it unrecognized organization. The United States government has announced the passport invalid. /Zhang Yan
