Bringing it to an end: @placeholder said that it was right for Bashir to leave his show and it showed him taking responsibility for his actions | By Meghan Keneally PUBLISHED: 14:47 EST, 5 December 2013 | UPDATED: 16:28 EST, 5 December 2013 Alec Baldwin has come to the defense of his former colleague Martin Bashir, saying that MSNBC went too far in firing the anchor over his call to have someone defecate in Sarah Palin's mouth. 'I'm sorry to learn that @MartinBashir is out at MSNBC... Bashir created great television,' the actor wrote on his Twitter account on Thursday. 'You can disapprove of Bashir's single remark and still acknowledge his talent.' Baldwin has a vested interest in the firing as he was in a similar position less than two weeks earlier after he and his short-lived cable show were ousted from the network following his homophobic insults to reporters.

Singapore has dethroned the Japanese capital to become the world's most expensive city in 2014, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit's latest Worldwide Cost of Living survey. The bi-annual report, which ranks 131 global cities, credits currency appreciation, solid price inflation and high costs of living for Singapore's dubious new distinction. "Car costs have very high related certificate of entitlement fees attached to them, which makes Singapore significantly more expensive than any other location when it comes to running a car," says the report. "As a result, transport costs in Singapore are almost three times higher than in New York. In addition, as a city-state with very few natural resources to speak of, Singapore is reliant on other countries for energy and water supplies, making it the third most expensive destination for utility costs."

Frum, who had worked as a speechwriter for President George W. Bush, feared that Republicans would be tempted by tea party Republicans to shift far to the right to achieve short-term electoral gains that would cost the party in the long run. "A party must champion the values of the voters it already has," Frum wrote, then warning, "But it must also speak to the votes it still needs to win." For several years, the tea party helped energize a moribund Republican Party.

@placeholder has argued that its goal is to produce energy and medical isotopes, but U.S. officials say the Iranians are developing weapons. | London (CNN) -- Standard Chartered, a British banking giant, has paid $340 million to settle allegations it was involved in money laundering for Iranian clients. The settlement was reached with the New York State Department of Financial Services Tuesday, before a hearing due Wednesday. The hearing has now been adjourned. Standard Chartered -- which faced the loss of its U.S. banking license alongside fines for alleged breaches -- had pre-tax earnings of $6.76 billion in 2011, and the fine is "easily manageable," according to a note by analyst Michael Symonds of Daiwa Capital Markets. Banks: Too big to prosecute? "Reaching an early settlement means that StanChart avoids the potentially awkward hearing with the NYDFS.... and, critically, eliminates the immediate risk that the bank could lose its New York banking licence," Symonds said.

But the demands of trying to be both a royal prince and a soldier — the very thing young Prince @placeholder was trying to explain about his own life this week — had a lot to do with it. | By Christopher Wilson PUBLISHED: 20:10 EST, 23 January 2013 | UPDATED: 21:25 EST, 23 January 2013 A drunken brawl with his equerry. A married mistress, secret hotel assignations, an illegitimate child — surely our brand-new hero Prince Harry isn’t up to his old tricks again already? Thankfully not. But details emerged this week of another Prince Harry — the Queen’s uncle, not her grandson — which shed light on the pressures of life as a royal soldier and which demonstrate that, in the House of Windsor, change does not come quickly. Extraordinarily, it’s the sale of a small pair of gilt cufflinks which have brought to light just how our Prince Harry has, by comparison with his namesake, comported himself with rather more decorum than we might previously have given him credit for.

Sunnis have rejected the authority of the government, and some @placeholder officers in the army have deserted to fight Iraqi forces and attack police stations and prisons. | The recent fighting in Iraq has posed a serious challenge to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and his government, raising questions about his ability to hold the country together amid a rising insurgency. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday that the United States will help the Iraqi government in the battle against al Qaeda-linked fighters in western Iraq, but he stressed it won't send troops. Here are five questions about the deteriorating situation: 1. I thought the Iraq war was over. Why is there still fighting? Well, actually last year was the deadliest since 2008. The number of dead reached its worst levels since the height of the Iraq war, when sectarian fighting between the country's Shiite majority and its Sunni minority pushed it to the brink of civil war. Those tensions continue to be fueled by widespread discontent among the Sunnis, who say they are marginalized by the Shiite-led government and unfairly targeted by heavy-handed security tactics.

The judge began the trial by reading out the names of all 113 people who were killed when the plane burst into flames and smashed into a hotel on July 25, 2000. Three French people responsible for the design, testing and certification of the Concorde face charges of involuntary manslaughter. Also on trial are Continental Airlines and two of its American employees, accused of the same crime because a Continental Airlines jet was found to have played a key role in the crash. The Americans were not present for the opening day.

Listening to @placeholder, one of his favourite bands, was key to the process. | For any music fan, meeting their idol is likely to be emotional. But for Ed Buckley, standing side by side with Coldplay singer Chris Martin at a glamorous awards ceremony in London earlier this year was an extremely poignant moment in a long and remarkable journey. Just 17 months earlier, the Leeds University undergraduate, who was training to be a pilot, had been all but written off by doctors after being struck by a speeding taxi as he walked home from a party. His injuries were so profound that he was in a coma for six months, at first suffering life-threatening seizures. His distraught parents were told on a number of occasions to prepare for the worst.

Among the touching shots taken by the 30-year-old is a black and white photo of a group of herd boys who attend a school run by his African charity Sentebale - all of whom happily strike a pose for his camera. Another portrait, which was taken by the prince on a £729 Fuji X100 camera, shows another of the herd boys being educated by the charity staring silently into the lens, his face framed by a traditional straw hat.

"Santos is advocating for a continuation of the peace talks he started in 2012, while @placeholder's position is that there should not be a dialogue with an illegal guerrilla until its fighters surrender to government forces and lay down their weapons." | (CNN) -- Colombians cast ballots in a hotly contested presidential vote on Sunday, but none of the five candidates running received enough support to win the election. In the preliminary tally, Oscar Ivan Zuluaga was in the lead with 29.3% of votes, officials said, while incumbent President Juan Manuel Santos had secured 25.6% of votes. To win a presidential election, Colombian law requires a candidate to obtain more than 50% of votes. That means Zuluaga and Santos will face off in a runoff election on June 15. A key question voters are weighing: Should Colombia's government keep negotiating with leftist guerrillas or force them to surrender?

Ordinary movies do not reward the brain for bringing an outward-deviating eye in, but a @placeholder movie does. | (CNN) -- Trees once looked like green panels for Bruce Bridgeman. He'd have to move his head to gauge the relative closeness of objects. For most of his life, he had poor depth perception. His eyes pointed outward and did not allow him to see, in stereo, a single image with both eyes. But in February 2012, something changed when he went to a movie theater with his wife. He put on a pair of 3-D glasses to watch the film "Hugo" and, to his amazement, the characters and scenery in this film jumped out at him in greater stereo vision than he had experienced before.

Mr @placeholder was perhaps the least dogmatic of the quartet but then went and stepped in a cowpat. | By Daniel Martin Last updated at 10:28 AM on 6th December 2011 Tory MP Zac Goldsmith was last night attacked for using a reference to Auschwitz to criticise popular newspapers.

Sitting alongside actors Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan, the MP rejected arguments that newspapers should be given free rein to print stories about the private lives of famous people simply so that they sell more copies and remain financially viable.

In a statement sent to CNN, UEFA said it "completely rejects" the suggestion that the break-even requirement may lead to any restriction of competition in the market for matches played in @placeholder club tournaments. | (CNN) -- He revolutionized football once before by transforming its transfer system -- now Belgian lawyer Jean-Louis Dupont is gunning to change the face of the game for a second time. In his sights is UEFA's shiny new regulatory regime: Financial Fair Play (FFP), which has become the scourge of Europe's richest football clubs, notably English champion Manchester City and top French side Paris Saint-Germain, which were both heavily sanctioned by Europe's governing body Friday. FFP is designed to prevent clubs spending beyond their means and posting unsustainable yearly losses, but Dupont believes the sanctions are "completely illegal" because they restrict competition -- a key principle of European Union law.

However, more moderate Republicans in the @placeholder-led Senate call the defunding effort a waste of time. | With one vote on Friday, the Republican-led House launched the latest spending battle in Congress -- one that could bring a government shutdown in less than two weeks. By a 230-189 tally almost strictly on party lines, the House passed a short-term government spending plan that would eliminate all funding for Obamacare. The measure now goes to the Democratic-led Senate, which is certain to reject the provision that defunds President Barack Obama's signature legislative achievement of his first term. Even though House Republicans now have voted 42 times to repeal or otherwise undermine Obamacare, Speaker John Boehner and fellow Republicans held a brief victory rally after Friday's action and challenged the Senate to follow their lead.
