#Iraq - Fighting the IS with Iraq’s Golden Division: The Road to Fallujah: VICE News
Published on 7 Jun 2016
In
2014, Islamic State militants swept into Western Iraq's Anbar Province,
overrunning Iraqi security forces, enslaving minorities, and causing
thousands to flee for their lives.
The jihadist group captured Iraq’s largest city, Mosul, and the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah, where hundreds of US troops died fighting the Islamic State’s predecessor.
Now, two years later, the Iraqi security forces, with help from Iranian-supported Shiite militias and US military advisors and warplanes, are fighting to take back towns and cities in Anbar, one battle at a time.
But it’s a difficult task: Anbar has been the crucible of Iraq’s insurgency, and is the country’s Sunni heartland — long marginalized by and hostile to the Shiite-led government in Baghdad.
VICE News embedded with Iraq’s Golden Division Special Forces unit as they fought their way into the villages surrounding the city of Hit, where they encountered ambushes, sniper fire, and tried to sort suspected Islamic State operatives and sympathizers from innocent Iraqi civilians.

Here’s Why Shares of Zillow Are Trading Higher on Tuesday: TheStreet
Published on 7 Jun 2016
Shares
of Zillow traded higher in Tuesday's session after the online
real-estate database announced it had reached a settlement with rival
Move. The settlement deal averts a trial which would've taken place
later this month. Move and the National Association of Realtors were
seeking up to $2 billion in damages over allegations that Zillow
executives brought trade secrets with them when they left Move in 2014.
Zillow settled the suit for just $130 million dollars. On word of the
settlement, Barclays upgraded Zillow's shares to EQUAL WEIGHT from
UNDERWEIGHT. The firm also raised the stock's price target to $32 from
$20. This year, Zillow shares are up 37 percent.

#Brazil - Dilma Rousseff: 'No legal grounds for this impeachment' - Talk to Al Jazeera
Published on 7 Jun 2016
Dilma
Rousseff, the former leftist guerrilla who became the first woman
president of Latin America's largest country, is now fighting for her
political survival.
Brazil's immensely popular former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, chose his chief of staff to carry on with his legacy of economic growth with social justice.
But it didn't last. By the time Rousseff began her second term in 2015, Brazil was in turmoil.
Now Rousseff has been suspended to face an impeachment trial - abandoned by her allies and millions of Brazilians who accuse her of driving the nation's once healthy economy into the ground and of turning a blind eye to corruption within her own left-wing party.
It's the material political soap operas are made of: almost daily corruption scandals are splattering every political party, most recently, that of interim President Michel Temer.
This week, more leaked phone conversations revealed that two of his top ministers, including the man in charge of combatting corruption, were apparently trying to derail ongoing investigations into a multi-billion dollar bribery scheme.
Temer, who was until last month the vice president, turned against Dilma Rousseff, so she could face impeachment.
Rousseff is charged with having tampered with fiscal accounts to hide a massive budget deficit in order to get re-elected.
Yet, unlike a great many of those seeking her impeachment, she is not being accused of stealing money for herself.
In fact at least 60 percent of Brazilian lawmakers are under investigation or indictment for crimes ranging from attempted murder to massive corruption, including the president of the senate who will be overseeing the impeachment trial.
Rousseff claims her enemies are punishing her for refusing to block corruption investigations, but will the latest scandals involving the interim government be enough to save her?
Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman speaks to President Dilma Rouseff in Brasilia as the suspended leader faces a controversial impeachment trial which could remove her permanently from the presidency.
Rouseff discusses why she'll fight to be reinstated, the political fragmentation in the country, and what she plans to do to earn back the trust of the Brazilian people if she wins the Senate vote.

He says the diverse income fund, which returned 4% last year to investors, is “very open minded” as long as there is dividend growth.
The fund buys both FTSE100 companies, such as Legal & General Group plc (LON:LGEN), but also AIM stocks, which Williams says are “particularly under discovered”.
Around 15% is invested in FTSE100 companies, slightly higher than last year due to BREXIT uncertainties, but 65% remains in “small-micro” where Williams sees “the best opportunities”.
