Here’s Why Melania Trump Wore Black To Meet The Pope

    President Donald Trump met a sad-looking Pope Francis at the Vatican on Wednesday, along with his wife, Melania, daughter Ivanka and others. Melania and Ivanka both wore black dresses with long sleeves and black veils (Melania’s dress was Dolce & Gabbana, a possible nod to the host country). Although Pope Francis has not enforced traditional dress code rules for women at private Vatican audiences as strictly as his predecessors did, both women kept to old-school protocol. The president will return to Italy on Friday, attending the Group of 7… This traditional rule holds that most women wear long black dresses with sleeves and mantillas, and only a very select handful of women enjoy an exception. These ladies have the privilège du blanc, or privilege of the white, which...

Newly discovered vulnerability raises fears of another WannaCry

    A hooded man holds a laptop computer as blue screen with an exclamation mark is projected on him in this illustration picture taken on May 13, 2017.

Rebekah Brown of Rapid7, a cybersecurity company, told Reuters that there were no signs yet of attackers exploiting the vulnerability in the 12 hours since its discovery wa...

Salman Abedi wanted revenge for US air strikes in Syria: Manchester bomber’s sister says

    The sister of Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi believes her brother carried out the attack because he wanted revenge for US air strikes on Syria. Jomana Abedi said in an interview her brother was kind and loving and that she was surprised by what he did on Monday. At least 22 people were killed and dozens seriously injured when 22-year-old Abedi detonated a device as fans left an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena. Ms Abedi said she thought he was driven by America's military attacks in the Middle East. “I think he saw children - Muslim children - dying everywhere, and wanted revenge," she told the Wall Street Journal . "He saw the explosives America drops on children in Syria, and he wanted revenge. Whether he got that is between him and God.” In the m...

Bangladesh confident of Champions Trophy chances

    Bangladesh still have two more warm-up matches before their Champions Trophy opener but captain Mashrafe Mortaza admits their five-wicket victory over New Zealand sends them to England with confidence high. The warm-up games will be important, wickets will be different from here but we will learn something from the games against Pakistan and India, so they are two big games, said Mortaza, We missed out in the first game against Ireland and the first game against New Zealand was tough but we did really well in last two games and confidence is high at the moment. New Zealand, after half centuries from skipper Tom Latham (84), Neil Broom (63) and Ross Taylor (60 not out), slumped from 208 for three to finish on 270 for eight while in their winning reply Bangladesh soared from...
