WEYMOUTH: How do you see the situation? SHARON: I told U.S. officials in recent meetings that “there is a conflict between America’s need to establish a coalition [to fight Iraq] and our need to fight Palestinian terrorism.” [I said,] “Don’t take any steps that might undermine the future security of the state of Israel… You will go home, and we will have to stay here facing these dangers.” Some people say you should dismantle the settlements and build a fence to separate Israel from the Palestinians....

This was revealed in a heavily-produced video on the Jonas Brother’s Instagram account where fellow judges Shelton, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend were speculating about who would be the new judge, only for them to find Jonas meditating in order to “live and breathe” the competition. Gwen Stefani has so far not spoken publicly about why she is leaving the show again. Despite having been a judge on the show for five seasons, she has never stayed on the judging panel for two consecutive years, so it may be that she just likes to alternate her time doing the show and doing other projects like recording Christmas albums....

It was the worst civilian disaster in the history of nuclear energy – and could be repeated. Two of Chernobyl’s four reactors remain in use, despite continuing safety problems. Severe cracks have been reported in the concrete sarcophagus that surrounds reactor number four. Yet thousands of people continue to live and work here. Roughly 500 of them have even moved back into their old homes inside the zone. And the Ukrainian government says it can’t afford to close the plant and permanently seal the sarcophagus without billions in Western aid....
