WorldReutersThousands protest against Moscow housing resettlement, but numbers fall
Thousands of Muscovites protested in the south-west of the Russian capital on Sunday against government plans to resettle millions of citizens from shoddy Soviet-era apartment blocks, but numbers had fallen compared to earlier rallies. A Reuters witness said around 5,000 people attended the latest rally, compared to organizers' estimates of 60,000 at a protest on May 14. Moscow residents are also concerned about the location and quality of the planned new accommodation, a lack of services and infrastructure and about threats the redevelopment may pose to the historic face of the Russian capital.

WorldAssociated PressIn shadow of Mosul fight, Iran establishes Nineveh foothold
While Iraq's conventional military has been slowly clearing the Islamic State group from inside Mosul's complex urban terrain, Iraq's Iran-backed Shiite paramilitary forces have been working their way through less glamorous territory: vast deserts west and south of the city that run along and across Iraq's border with Syria. The territory, dotted with small villages and dusty roads, is home to key supply lines into neighboring Syria and connecting Iraq's north to the capital Baghdad. Control of the Iraqi-Syrian border would be a key strategic prize for the mostly Shiite paramilitary forces and their backer Iran, who also supports the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Ramadan 2017 Celebrations From Around The World
Muslims began observing Ramadan on May 26, a sacred month of fasting that will culminate on June 24, or on “Eid al-Fitr.” The month of Ramadan is when people belonging to the Islamic faith observe a fast everyday of the month from dawn to dusk, as they believe that through this spiritual discipline they will achieve a deep contemplation of their connection with Allah or God. This is due to their belief that Prophet Muhammad had been handed down the very first verses of Quran during the month of Ramadan. "When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained,” Mohammad had reportedly said, Vox reported.
