#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.

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.
