Melania Trump and Michelle Obama met for tea on Thursday in the White House Whatever their feelings about Donald J. Trump winning the presidential election, President Obama and the first lady have been careful to demonstrate that it is time “to now come together, work together, to deal with the many challenges that we face,” as Mr. Obama said when he met the  p resident-elect at the White House on Thursday.   Hillary Clinton began the messaging when she wore a purple-lapel Ralph Lauren pantsuit for her concession speech on Wednesday morning, uniting red and blue in a single shade as she urged the country to unite. And Michelle Obama continued the subliminal signals when she chose a purple Narciso Rodriguez dress with an orange aftershock sunburst curve for her meeting with Melania Trump. It was a nice bit of color diplomacy. But it also wasn’t without implicit references to Mr. Obama’s administration and legacy. After all, it was the...

Could  La La Land   be the last movie that   Emma Stone   and   Ryan Gosling   make together? If the actor has anything to say about it, quite possibly. The famous redhead joked about their longtime friendship to  E! News  while making her way into  InStyle  and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's 2017 Miss Golden Globes bash in Los Angeles last night, and the actress seems to think that Gosling is getting sick of her. "He has a restraining order against me now," Stone said with a laugh. "I'm just going to have to stay like a hundred feet at everything else we do together. No, it's so much fun to work with him and I don't know if they'll let us do anything else." But fans of the onscreen duo shouldn't worry—the star was only kidding. "The restraining order isn't real, could you tell that I was joking?" she said reassuringly. "It's not real, it's not real."

“Israel is in need of a country like Turkey in the region,” Erdogan said in remarks to Turkish reporters. —AFP/File ISTANBUL: Turkey must accept that it needs Israel, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday, as the two countries seek to thrash out a deal on normalising ties. Nato member Turkey was a key regional ally of Israel until the two countries fell out over the deadly storming by Israeli commandos in 2010 of a Turkish aid ship, the Mavi Marmara, bound for Gaza. Erdogan further raised hackles in Israel with his sometimes inflammatory rhetoric towards the Jewish State. But the atmosphere was transformed following the revelation last month the two sides were making progress in secret talks to seek a rapprochement. “Israel is in need of a country like Turkey in the region,” Erdogan said in remarks to Turkish reporters published in leading dailies Saturday. “And we too must accept that we need Israel. This is a reality in the region,” s...

Zoha Waseem is a doctoral student at King’s College London and a senior editor for the Strife Blog. ZOHA WASEEM — UPDATED JUN 02, 2015 05:18PM  According to the big bang theory, the earth is 4.54 billion years old. Iceland, the youngest land mass to emerge out of the Atlantic Ocean floor, formed by volcanic eruptions, is between 16 and 20 million years old. This was not in my knowledge when I boarded the flight from London to Reykjavik. In fact, there was little apart from Iceland’s location on a world map that I knew prior to my departure – except that there are no McDonald’s or Starbucks in the entire country. Iceland’s landscape is dotted by volcanoes, glaciers, rivers, small villages and farms. I arrived at Reykjavik, the smallest big city or a big village depending on how you look at it, to a cold spring and endless daylight. Reykjavik, literally meaning the ‘smoky bay’ or ‘steamy bay’ (named after hot springs located around the city), is the world’s northernmos...
