#Russia - Inside infamous Moscow anti-doping lab - BBC News

Published on 25 May 2016
BBC Sports Editor Dan Roan is granted rare behind-the-scenes access to the discredited Moscow laboratory, where 1,400 samples were allegedly destroyed to cover up doping. He speaks to Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko on the day the country's Olympic committee reveals 14 of its athletes have tested positive for doping after re-tests of their samples from the 2008 Beijing Games.
In a statement, the Russian Olympic Committee said it had received the information in "official documents" from the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The IOC earlier said up to 31 athletes could be banned from August's Rio Games.

#TheStreet: This Is How Rallies Start Says Cramer

Published on 25 May 2016
The banks and techs are bouncing back and that bodes well for the bulls, said TheStreet's (TST) Jim Cramer. He said the market is being spurred by a rally in the banks and it is taking other groups like healthcare and biotech along for the ride. Cramer said the move in the banks really came out of nowhere, especially considering Wells Fargo's less than inspiring presentation yesterday. In Cramer's view 'these are how real rallies start - on nothing - and then we find out why.'

#Italy - Florence's Arno river embankment Collapses: TOP BREAKING NEWS

Published on 25 May 2016
A section of the embankment of the River Arno in central Florence collapsed on Wednesday morning, sending part of the road and at least 20 parked cars into a newly formed ditch.

The collapse took place very close to the famous Ponte Vecchio, a medieval covered bridge over the Arno.
The collapsed segment is about 200m (650ft) in length and 7m (23ft) across.

Firefighters believe the chasm has been created by the failure of a large water pipe beneath the surface.Florence's Mayor Dario Nardella tweeted (in Italian) that no-one had been harmed in the incident on Lungarno Torrigiani.

He appealed to motorists to remove their cars from the nearby area, and said the water supply to part of the city centre was cut off.

Taiwan's Economic Daily Newspaper Suggests Strong iPhone 7 Sales: TheStreet

TheStreet
Published on 23 May 2016
According to a report in Taiwan's Economic Daily newspaper Apple has tapped its iPhone suppliers to be ready to supply up to 78 million units by the end of 2016 - well above the 65 million iPhone 7s analysts are forecasting. Pay attention to the chatter TheStreet's Action Alerts PLUS Portfolio Manager Jim Cramer says. 'This paper has proven to be very accurate in the past when iPhone sales would drop.' This is why you're seeing really good action in NXP Semiconductors , an Action Alerts name, Broadcom and Skyworks . Cramer doesn't expect a good quarter from Apple which means if you're in the stock for 'hot money' you'll be wrong, but he likes the longer term.

#Afghanistan’ - "New Taliban leader facing challenges of getting support"

Published on 25 May 2016
Afghanistan’s Taliban militants have confirmed the death of their former leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour, naming his successor.

The Taliban announced in a statement that Mansour was killed in a US drone strike in southern Pakistan. One of Mansour’s deputies, Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada, has been appointed as the militant group’s new leader. On Saturday, the United States reported that it had killed the former Taliban chief in Pakistan’s Balochistan province. The attack prompted an angry reaction from Islamabad. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the raid was in violation of Pakistan's sovereignty. The Taliban militant group has been fighting against the Afghan government for many years. The fighting between the two sides has killed and displaced thousands of Afghans.

Our correspondent in Kabul Fayez Khorshid updates us on the latest developments regarding the Taliban.
