Tour anouncement
Seacrest interviews Usher during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his latest tour.
I’ve been busy. Just making my way back to the stage has been kind of the greatest anticipation of this year and now I’m ready. I’ll be touring on North America in 27 cities and I’m really excited about it. This will be] like no other [tour] before. Twenty years of doing this, musically, I’ve graced every stage there is, but never quite like this. This is going to be a new experience that does not arrive based off of one album, or either the launch of this most-recent album, which I’m not finished yet. I’m still working on it. I just really want to get back on the stage. You see me playing the bass, you see me playing the guitar, you see me playing the drums. It’s just a different experience.

First wedding photos
People and Hello magazines feature the first look at the wedding photos from Pitt and Jolie’s wedding. Jolie’s satin gown was designed by Donatella Versace. The master tailor at Versace, Luigi Massi, sewed drawings made by the couple’s six children into the dress. Jolie:
Luigi is like family to me and I couldn’t imagine anyone else making this dress. He knows and cares for the children and it was great fun putting it together.
‘Threat to German security’
Merkel says in a speech to the Bundestag lower house that ISIS now controls an area in Iraq and Syria that is half the size of Germany:
The far-reaching detribalization of an entire region affects Germany and Europe … When terrorists take control of a vast territory to give themselves and other fanatics a base for their acts of terror, then the danger rises for us, then our security interests are affected
‘Mosul leaflet drop’
American planes drop leaflets ‘bearing the signature of the Iraqi defence ministry’ over Mosul, apparently as a prelude to bombing ISIS’s headquarters in the city. A source:
The American planes dropped leaflets this evening on the city of Mosul, asking the residents to evacuate their homes, which are close to the headquarters of ISIS, and to stay away from the gatherings of its elements
‘Seeks Western attack’
Rogers warns that ISIS wants an attack on the west to raise its profile:
Isis would like to have a Western-style attack to continue this notion that they are the leading jihadist group in the world
A major aspect of the threat to the U.S. is returning ISIS-trained American fighters, and they should be charged under laws prohibiting terror support:
I’m very concerned because we don’t know every single person that has an American passport that has gone and trained and learned how to fight
