UNITED KINGDOM - British billionaire faces MP grills over ‘extraction of millions’ from collapsing BHS chain
Retail mogul and former owner of British institution BHS, Sir Philip Green, will be summoned to parliament as part of an investigation into the collapse of the department store chain. He faces calls to give up his knighthood. Green, who was knighted under the Tony Blair administration for his “services to retail,” is facing an inquiry by the work and pensions committee over his role in the downfall of the 88-year-old department store, which has put 11,000 jobs on the line and threatened to close over 164 stores.
Green bought BHS in 2000 for just £200million and sold it last March to Retail Acquisitions, a consortium led by twice bankrupt ex-racecar diver Dominic Chappell, for a nominal sum of £1. Shadow Business Secretary Angela Eagle noted that the pension fund was just £5million in debt when Green took over leadership in 2000.
“There are some serious questions to answer, not least by the former owner Sir Philip Green,” she said.
Eagle accused Green of “extract[ ing] hundreds of millions of pounds from the business and walked away to his favorite tax haven leaving the PPF to pick up the bill.”
Most of the Green family’s estimated £3.22-billion fortune is held offshore by his wife in Monaco.

SWITZERLAND - Geneva rejects Turkish demand to remove pic accusing Erdogan of killing boy
Turkey’s demand to remove a photo of a boy from an exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland, has been rejected. The photo claims that then-PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan was directly involved in the death of a child amidst anti-government protests in 2013. “Geneva will not allow any country to be influenced in this matter. Geneva and Switzerland stand for freedom of expression,” Vice Mayor Guillaume Barazzone told Swiss media. Place des Nations in front of the UN Office, where the exhibition is being staged, is a good example of this freedom as this is “where minorities must be able to express” their opinions, he added.
“Therefore the administrative council will support this exhibition and it is out of the question to remove this photograph.”

RUSSIA - Hyper pony shows off moves outside the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow
The Bolshoi Theater is known for its world-renowned ballet, but the dancers had a bit of competition when an excitable pony decided to show off his moves outside the building, as his costumed owner tried to rein him in.
The little horse demonstrated some rather unconventional choreography as he danced in front of the Bolshoi, running and kicking his back legs into the air – and giving those traditional pliés and pirouettes a run for their money.
But perhaps the most amusing part of the entire video, posted by prominent ballet dancer Aleksey Loparevich on Tuesday, was watching as confused onlookers tried to comprehend why a pony was running wild in the middle of Moscow – and that the person trying to capture him was dressed in costume.
Although his efforts were commendable, it's safe to say that the pony's performance won't be winning him a place on the grand Bolshoi stage anytime soon.
