Attacco in Francia: increduli i vicini dell'uomo arrestato
Non si capacitano, vicini e conoscenti di Yassin Salhi, il trentenne arrestato ieri per aver lanciato da solo un assalto in una fabbrica francese e aver decapitato un uomo.
Salhi era noto ai servizi segreti dal 2006, ma per Gilles Gascon, il sindaco di Saint-Priest, alla periferia di Lione, è solo uno dei suoi concittadini: "La sua famiglia non ha una cattiva reputazione nella città, nell'amministrazione comunale, e fra i servizi di polizia, a quanto pare".

Tsipras annuncia un referendum sul piano di salvataggio.
Il 5 luglio i greci potranno scegliere se accettare o respingere la proposta dei creditori in un referendum . L’ha annunciato il primo ministro Alexis Tsipras in un messaggio televisivo, perché i partner dell’Eurogruppo – ha detto – hanno presentato un ultimatum che va contro i valori europei: “Chiederò ai leader europei di concederci un’estensione di qualche giorno del piano di salvataggio in corso, affinché gli elettori greci possano scegliere liberi da ricatti e pressioni, come impone la costituzione greca e come richiedono i valori dell’Unione europea”.
La dichiarazione a sorpresa giunge al termine di una settimana di negoziati non stop e alla vigilia della riunione dell’Eurogruppo ritenuta decisiva per le sorti della Grecia. Dopo l’ennesima riunione con Hollande e Merkel, Tsipras era tornato a parlare di ricatto da parte dei creditori. Si riferiva alle riforme chieste in cambio del nuovo piano di aiuto da 15 miliardi di euro, tra cui un intervento sulle pensioni più alte e l’introduzione di tasse al settore navale.

The first terror attack in Kuwait claimed by ISIL militants struck as worshippers gathered for Friday prayers at a Shi’ite mosque. A suicide bomber blew himself up, killing 27 people and wounding 227 others. One MP who was in the mosque said the explosives the bomber detonated, destroyed walls and the ceiling.
