Friday Fuss

As the workweek ends while the high temperatures don't, here are some things going on:

From Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the story of cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev.

From Russia Today, meet Russia's "dead droppers".







From Polskie Radio, three Polish left-wing parties join forces for the upcoming elections.  (Yesterday, I linked a story from this site about Polish opposition groups being divided.  These three parties appear to have decided to rectify that situation.)

















From The Portugal News, the U.K. and Portugal start a commemoration of the Luso-British alliance, the oldest alliance still in effect.  (The term "Luso-" appears to be derived from "Lusitania", an ancient area roughly corresponding to modern Portugal.  It was also the name of ship that was sunk near the Irish coast, which sinking resulted in the United States entering World War I.)








From Independent Balkan News Agency, Kosovo's prime minister resigns.


From the Greek Reporter, what seismologists say about this quake.





From Hürriyet Daily News, the U.S. releases Atilla from prison.  (This Atilla is not a Hun, but a Turk.)

















From ANI, good dog!











From Snouts in the Trough, refugees from Syria go on vacation to Syria.  (Apparently, "going back" is OK if it's self-imposed.)
