■ Putin divorce: President and wife say 'their marriage is over'. Russia's President Vladimir Putin and his wife Lyudmila have announced their "marriage is over". "It was our joint decision, our marriage is over," President Putin said in the interview to Russia24 state channel. The announcement was made at the Grand Kremlin Palace, where Vladimir and Lyudmila Putin attended the Esmeralda ballet.
■ 'US Drone strikes in Pakistan negate right to life'. When President Obama tells people that drones are more humane weapons, he tries to be a good salesman for the weapon, but forgets that it's a weapon which kills, Shahzad Akbar, a human rights lawyer representing drone victims, told RT. Shahzad Akbar, Director of the Foundation for Fundamental Rights, and a member of the British human rights organization Reprieve, is a human rights lawyer representing drone victims in a criminal case against US officials. The interview comes as Pakistan voted on Wednesday in favor of Nawaz Sharif, who begins an unprecedented third term as Prime Minister of this country of 180 million people. || ► Death from Above: US drone victims share their agony & grief. US drone strikes on Pakistani soil must end - that's according to the country's newly elected Prime Minister, who's once again demanded Washington respects his country's sovereignty. This comes amid mounting reports of the many civilian casualties in America's war on terror - RT's Lucy Kafanov met some of them. Her report contains some graphic images.
■ Twitter, Spies & Looters: Erdogan blames 'foreign agents' for Turkey riots. For a sixth night running in Turkey, it was more of the same. Clashes leading to police unleashing their water cannons and tear gas on protesters. A third fatality has been confirmed in the unrest, after a man died from head injuries in an Ankara hospital. Activists want the police chiefs responsible for their violent tactics removed and urged officials to ban the use of tear gas. Protesters also want all those that have been detained, released saying that could end the days of riots. The Turkish Prime minister returns from a trip to North Africa later, and will be expected to do something about the public discontent which has seen demands for him to reverse all his policies. But as RT's Irina Galushko reports, Erdogan appears to be looking for scapegoats.

Shhh.
Time,
Do you secretly also know that I have been singing that song in my heart -- With Love -- since the AP reported this an hour ago? Wee.
Lots of cute guys in Russia, right? Wee.
Many couples divorce in America, right? Wee.
Many unmarried couples in the U.S., right? Wee.
Many couples married in the U.S. and divorced in Russia, right? Wee.
Many couples divorced in Russia and married in the U.S., right? Wee.
Too many couples combination, right? Wee.
But why do I still do not want to get married until now? Wee.
Shhh.

► WORLD : Russia President Vladimir Putin and wife announce divorce
Putin was handsome? True. Power and position as president of Liberia Russia made him more handsome? True. Do many women like her now? Yes. True. Why do so many women like President Putin? Because Putin is the president of Russia. Now Putin is 60 years old. If Putin is no longer served as president of Russia -- and that does not mean he automatically became president of Burundi, for example, ehhehhe ... and his age is certainly not going to be a toddler again, right? ehehehhe --, Will the girls/women still like/love him as an elderly widower? Only a Vladimir Putin as an ordinary man? Without power?
Shananana. Feeling lonely in old age is a scary thing for me, seriously. Shananana.
But, to you, Mr. handsome from Russia, do not worry. Love will come in its own way, to anyone, at anytime. So, even after you put the Russian presidency and live an ordinary life as an elderly widower, but if love greets you at the time, then "Why not?" Mwah! - CZ

What? Stop your silly fantasy, Cisca! I know what is hidden in your mind! And the most appropriate closing sentence special for you is not "Why not?" but "Not at all"! Wee.

A newly married couple pose for their wedding picture at Istiklal street near Taksim square in Istanbul June 2, 2013.

Hundreds of police and protesters have been injured since Friday in the riots, which began with a demonstration to halt construction in a park in an Istanbul square and grew into mass protests against what opponents call Erdogan's authoritarianism.
