Marine Le Pen Opposes Father's Election Candidacy
File photo : France's far-right National Front party leader Marine Le Pen and Jean-Marie Le Pen participate in the 15th congress of the party, in Lyon, France on November 30, 2014. The head of France's far-right Front National, Marine Le Pen, has said she will move to stop her father Jean-Marie from standing in polls later this year. In a statement she said her father's status as honorary president of the party "does not mean he can take the Front National hostage". Last week she condemned her father for repeating his claim that the Nazi gas chambers were "a detail of history". Photo by Patrick Bernard/ABACAPRESS.COM (FOTO: DUKAS/ABACA)

Pope Francis Opens the Vatican Gardens Of His Summer Residence To The Public - Castel Gandolfo
Retired Pope Benedict XVI is publicly defending the Catholic Church’s traditional rule of priestly celibacy, the former pontiff’s most explicit effort so far to influence a decision by his successor Pope Francis, who is considering a proposal to routinely ordain married men as Roman Catholic priests for the first time in almost a millennium. -- File - Pope Francis met pope Benedict XVI in the gardens of Castel Gandolfo on march 23, 2013. The magnificent gardens surrounding the papal summer residence at Castel Gandolfo are now open to the public. Located south of Rome in the Alban hills, the property includes the extensive Barberini gardens, the remains of a Roman villa and a 62 acre farm, as well as the ancient papal palace. A statement from the director of the Vatican Museums says it was Pope Francis himself who decided to make accessible to all the gardens of the Pontifical Villas 'where the splendor of art and the glory of nature co-exist in admirable equilibrium'.The Barberini Gardens, as they're known, lie on the site of an ancient Roman villa built by Emperor Domitian, the third and last ruler of the Flavian dynasty. Visitors can still wander through the ruins of the imperial theatre and the crypto-portico, or covered passageway where the emperor and his guests could stroll while escaping from the summer heat. With stunning views over Lake Albano and beyond, to the coastline of the Mediterranean sea, the Villa has been a favourite holiday residence for the popes since the 17th century. The pope Pius XI oversaw the creation of a model farm which still produces eggs, milk, oil, vegetables and honey for local employees or for sale in the Vatican supermarket. So the Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo is no longer to be used exclusively by the Pope but will also be open to tourists.

Libyan leader Muammar Kadhafi receives Syrian president Bashar El Assad (R) as he opposes proposals for French president Nicolas Sarkozy's Mediterranean Union, during a mini-summit attended by Algerian Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Mauritanian Ould Sheikh, Syrian Bashar El Assad and Tunisian Ben Ali, in Tripoli on June 10, 2008. Photo by Balkis Press/ABACAPRESS.COM Libyan government tanks and snipers put up scattered, last-ditch resistance in Tripoli on Monday August 22, 2011, after rebels swept into the heart of the capital, cheered on by crowds hailing the end of Muammar Gaddafi's 42 years in power. The 69-year-old leader, urging civilians to take up arms against rebel "rats", said in an audio broadcast that he was in the city and would be "with you until the end". But there was little sign of popular opposition to the rebel offensive, two of Gaddafi's sons were seized and it was unclear where he was. (FOTO: DUKAS/ABACA)
