London burns as 1666
model commemorates Great Fire
A model of the 1666
City of London has been set ablaze on the Thames to commemorate the great Fire
of that year that destroyed nearly 80% of the capital.
It was the second great disaster to hit London in the mid-17th century following the Plague of the year before.
“So this is the commemoration of London’s Great Fire which took place in 1666. The fire raged for four days and destroyed much of the city of London at the time. Only six people were reported to have lost their lives but apparently over 80,000 people were made homeless and became refugees,” said the Associate Producer for event production company Artichoke Kate Harvey.
The destruction allowed the subsequent rebuilding of the city in the style familiar today, much of it orchestrated by Sir Christopher Wren, who built St. Paul’s cathedral.

Challenges Abroad
G20 sees tension
between China and the US press (CNN)President Barack Obama bade farewell to G20
leaders in Hangzhou, China, on Monday by reminding them they're living in
"turbulent" times -- and he wasn't kidding. His valedictory Asia

slights and great power rivalries that reflect the unstable nature of the world

Merkel resists
pressure to change refugee policy
Angela Merkel has
admitted she is unhappy about the results of Sunday’s regional election.
The German Chancellor’s party was relegated to third place behind an anti-immigrant party.
Merkel acknowledged her pro-refugee position has a lot to do with the CDU being overtaken in the north-eastern state of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania.
However, she resisted pressure to change her policy.
“I am very dissatisfied with the outcome of the election,” she told reporters. “Obviously it has something to do with the refugee question.”
“Nevertheless, I believe the decisions made were right and we have to continue to work on them.”
