Wembley 'Diana Concert' in London
The Telegraph (UK) reported at length on this rather historic event, crediting Prince William and Prince Harry as organizers, the many world-famous performers, and parts of the selected celebrities out of the 63,000 cheering and dancing fans packed on July 1 into the Wembley stadium. Her sons delivered what they had most wanted - a night of "energy and fun" to remember the joie de vivre of Diana, Princess of Wales.

Portugal takes over EU Presidency
EuroNews (France) - Portugal is taking over the presidency of the European Union for the second half of this year with three main priorities on its list; the EU Treaty, Brazil and Africa. Lisbon has praised the efficiency of the rotating presidency system, and Portugese Prime Minister Jose Socrates says he wants to consolidate predecessor Germany's hard work, especially on that much disputed new Treaty.
"I think that the most important thing is to start the intergovernmental conference on the proposed treaty as quickly as possible. We will start it on the 23rd of this month and see if we can complete all the negotiation so the leaders can discuss the text at the next summit. And maybe even approve it!" said Socrates.

Angela Merkel’s Successful EU Summit in Brussels
Europe's Marathon Talks Clinched a Deal
SPIEGEL.de (smd/reuters/ap)* - Europe can breathe a sigh of relief after a marathon night of negotiations ended in a deal. After German Chancellor Angela Merkel raised the stakes by threatening to go ahead without Poland, Warsaw was finally placated with a number of concessions and all 27 countries agreed to move forward with a new draft treaty to replace the defunct constitution...
The compromise with Poland includes the postponement of the new voting system until 2014, and it will now not be fully implemented until 2017. In essence, it means the Poles can maintain their current level of influence in the EU for another 10 years. Under the current system Poland has 27 votes on the EU's decision-making council, compared with 29 for Germany, although its population is twice as big...
Blair, who leaves office on June 27 and who 10 years ago had pledged to place Britain in the heart of Europe, could go home with a deal which let London continue to control over its own national affairs. "The most important thing here is that the constitutional treaty was put to one side," Blair said on June 23. "This deal gives us a chance to move on."
