Diana, that SAS murder claim and why it may not be as mad as you think: 16 years on, the conspiracy theories won't go away.

But — however unlikely they may seem at first glance — I am convinced there is something in Soldier N’s claims. 

Ever since Diana’s death at the age of 36, I have investigated forensically the events that led up to the crash and what happened afterwards.

Imagine if you could pick up the Greenland Ice Sheet and see what lies beneath. Surely 1.7 million square kilometers of slowly thawing ice must rest on a massive pool of melted water, right?

Not necessarily, according to a study released today in the journal Science. Unlike the ice sheet covering Antarctica that sits atop numerous lakes, the Greenland Ice Sheet blankets a giant subglacial canyon nearly twice as long as the Grand Canyon located in Arizona.

The Paris prosecutor’s office launched a probe on July 16 into the US spy agency’s illegal access to personal email and phone communications of French citizens following a legal complaint by the International Federation of Human Rights (FIDH) and the League of Human Rights (LDH), according to AFP.

The complaint filed by the groups also targets giant tech companies like Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Paltak, Facebook, YouTube, Skype, AOL and Apple. The purpose is to reveal if they have provided the NSA and the FBI with access to their servers, said Emmanuel Daoud, a lawyer for the two groups.

The main reason behind a recent wave of anti-government protests in Bulgaria is a result of corruption and weak public institutions that serve as a democratic facade for a system of governance allowing illegitimate oligarchic, vested interests to control institutional decision-making, according to Transparency International (TI) Bulgaria.

"They [the protesters] are fed up that the country's elites -- in politics but also in business -- are getting away with impunity for corruption," TI wrote in its recent report.

On Aug. 5 a court in western Turkey handed down life sentences to a score of retired military officers, including the former chief of the general staff, as well as politicians and media figures, for plotting attacks that would have hurled the country into chaos in preparation for a military coup. The trial was widely regarded as flawed, but the verdicts did not provoke big protests in a nation that until a few years ago held the Army in higher esteem than any other institution. A few days later, at the end of Ramadan, the cities emptied as usual and the resorts were packed. Amid the festivities, the decapitation of the country’s former ruling establishment was largely forgotten.
