The families are friends and @placeholder performed at Michelle's 50th birthday party earlier this year | An eagle-eyed fan has snapped a selfie with Michelle and Sasha Obama as they attended a Beyonce and Jay-Z concert in Chicago last night. Yesenia Herrera was standing in front of the first family at Soldier Field when she whipped out her cell phone and took a selfie - capturing Mrs Obama and her youngest daughter in the background. Michelle, who was in the city to hold a Democrat fundraiser, and 13-year-old Sasha were also at the concert with Sasha's big sister, Malia, 16. Herrera, a model from Chicago, then shared the image to Instagram - no doubt to the chagrin of Michelle Obama, who has previously complained about images of her daughters being shared.

Tsarnaev is charged with killing four people -- three spectators who died in the bombings and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer ambushed in his cruiser a few days later -- and "maiming, burning and wounding scores of others," U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said.

For those who doubt the movement has moved toward the mainstream, the @placeholder will join CNN on Monday night to host a nationally televised forum where eight GOP presidential candidates will vie for tea party support. | Manchester, New Hampshire (CNN) -- On Sept. 12, 2009, frustrated tea party citizens from across the country marched upon the Capitol in Washington, energized by a shared sense of disenfranchisement in the political system and anger at a federal government they believed was taxing too much and racking up a dangerous amount of debt. Two years later, much has changed. A powerful coalition of tea-party-backed freshmen walks the halls of Congress, where they have unsettled the establishment and pushed their own party to the right. On the campaign trail, the support of tea party groups has helped launch campaigns and is a force candidates ignore at their peril.

Cameraman Talal Abu Rahma, who filmed the event for @placeholder, and also works for CNN, has been at the center of trying to understand what happened on that fateful day. | Jerusalem (CNN) -- As Jamal al-Durrah washes his son Mohammad's tombstone in a Gaza graveyard, he fears that the boy's spirit rests uneasy. The image of the father shielding his 12-year-old son in a hail of bullets, under the glare of a camera, became the symbol of the second Palestinian uprising, or Intifada. Thirteen years later, the controversy behind those pictures is still alive. An Israeli government committee concluded in a report presented Sunday that the story, which was broadcast by France 2 in 2000, cannot be substantiated by the pictures.

Lagwinowicz’s uncle @placeholder - who helped her dispose of Catherine’s body - is also in the process of negotiating a similar deal. | By Anna Edwards PUBLISHED: 10:08 EST, 14 January 2014 | UPDATED: 10:15 EST, 14 January 2014 Catherine Wells-Burr's body was found in her burnt-out car Three Poles who murdered a British graduate could have their life sentences slashed after foreign courts approved a plea to move them back to their homeland.

Barack Obama has warned that if the government's borrowing authority is not extended by October 17, the @placeholder will not be able to pay its bills. | By Ted Thornhill Frustrated: President Barack Obama pauses while speaking about the budget and the partial government shutdown Taliban has mocked the US shutdown, telling politicians that they are ‘sucking the blood of their own people’. The comment was made by the Islamist militants, who are embroiled in a conflict with troops from the US and its allies in Afghanistan, in a statement issued on Wednesday. It described American leaders as ‘selfish and empty-headed for taking money from their people and ‘lavishly spending the same money in shedding the blood of the innocent and oppressed people’. The statement, according to AFP, said: ‘The American people should realise that their politicians play with their destinies as well as the destinies of other oppressed nations for the sake of their personal vested interests.’

The case against Nasheen Anderson, 17, who was charged with witness intimidation and making terroristic threats, offers a glimpse into how the reach and power of social media could be used to derail criminal cases.

It was followed by two smaller explosions near police stations in the @placeholder area, one of which killed one person. | (CNN) -- At least 49 people were killed and 247 wounded in violence marking the third anniversary of the January 25 revolution that brought down longtime dictator Hosni Mubarak, Egyptian state media said. Dozens more people were wounded in clashes throughout the country between anti-government protesters and security forces. The casualty figures came from the Ministry of Health, the state media said. The Anti-Coup Alliance, which supports deposed President Mohamed Morsy, claimed nine people were dead in one neighborhood alone after fierce confrontations. Those deaths were in the Alfa Maskan neighborhood in East Cairo, the alliance said. Meanwhile, pro-Morsy protesters have been issuing warnings on social media against using public ambulances. That could complicate tallying a death toll because the health ministry reports only deaths in public hospitals.

The unbeaten Birmingham star looked out of his depth early on as Bundu’s vast experience and technical aptitude saw him a step ahead.
