The deal reached with the Iranians late Saturday in Geneva represents a risk well worth taking by the Obama administration and the five other powers that negotiated it with the Iranians. If the Obama administration briefly got some first-term international diplomatic credit for the suggestion it would hit the "reset" button on relations with Russia, for this, its most important second-term initiative to date, it has opted for the "hold" button. The deal is an interim agreement by which Tehran has consented to freeze efforts that could lead to the development of nuclear weapons in exchange for modest relief from international economic sanctions. @highlight David Rothkopf: Obama administration deal sets the "hold" button. @highlight Tehran to freeze nuclear weapons efforts in exchange for modest relief from sanctions @highlight Rothkopf: This puts Iran on hold as more intensive talks continue @highlight He says: Deal freezes Israel's edging toward war; shows we did our best

@placeholder's original ban took into account that Suarez had shown no remorse for the biting incident, his third such attack in less than four years.
Barcelona will not be allowed to publicly unveil new £75million signing Luis Suarez while he remains banned for biting, FIFA has confirmed. Suarez is due to complete his move from Liverpool in the next few days, and the Catalan club has previously introduced star signings including Neymar and Cesc Fabregas to packed stadiums. There have been suggestions Barcelona could hold a similar event for Suarez in a non-football venue to get around the four-month ban imposed on the Uruguay striker for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini, but FIFA has now confirmed that any such event will not be permitted while the ban remains in force. @highlight Barca had planned to unveil new striker at a non-football venue @highlight The Catalan club often hold big events to reveal new signings @highlight But under his ban Suarez will not be allowed to be unveiled until his entire four-month ban is served @highlight Suarez's lawyer calls the punishment 'draconian, totalitarian and fascist' @highlight Punishment is now likely to be appealed at Court of Arbitration for Sport

The blast occurred a day after 27 people died after two "booby-trapped" cars exploded in crowded areas of @placeholder, said SANA.
(CNN) -- Fresh explosions and riveting gunfire punctuated the pre-dawn hours Monday in cities around Syria, opposition activists said, with the ongoing violence coming on the heels of yet another bloody weekend in the embattled nation. Around 3 a.m., the Local Coordination Committees of Syria -- a network of opposition activists -- reported on its Facebook page that at least three major blasts in a few hours had rattled the Damascus neighborhood Mazzeh, where persistent gunfire rang out for at least an hour. The same group also reported other pockets of violence early Monday around the capital, including "intense shooting" in Dummar and Keswa "from the security checkpoints all over the city." @highlight NEW: At least 3 explosions rock Damascus early Monday, an opposition network says @highlight NEW: Additional fighting is reported in other cities around Syria as well @highlight At least 67 people were killed around Syria on Sunday, one group says @highlight Syria's government blames terrorists for weekend blasts that killed 27

They are an ocean apart now, though plans are in the works to bring David Writebol from Liberia to be with his wife in @placeholder.
(CNN) -- Like the other American who volunteered to help others in Africa and ended up with Ebola, Nancy Writebol is driven first and foremost by her fervent faith. Still, that doesn't mean she doesn't need -- or deserve -- a pick-me-up. So, after arriving at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital from Liberia, Nancy Writebol asked for -- and received -- coffee from Starbucks. That was a definite plus about being back in her home country, though her husband acknowledges she has a long way to go to beat the deadly disease. "I don't believe we can say she is in the clear, (but) I would say she is in very good hands," her husband, David Writebol, said Friday. "...

Headley, the son of an American mother and @placeholder father, was accused of extensive involvement in planning the devastating attacks on hotels in Mumbai, which the Indian government says were carried out by the Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Tayyiba.
(CNN) -- The path that brought U.S. citizen David Coleman Headley to the point of pleading guilty to involvement in two international terrorism plots is complicated and twisted. His life, in many ways, is far from the average American experience, but he's also very much a product of a typical American upbringing. He's an unusual fusion, a product of two worlds, a rare blending of East and West. And because of his unusual background, Headley, experts say, is one of the most unusual and important American-born terrorists. Even his eyes -- one blue and one brown -- reflect the double life he has lived almost since the day he was born. @highlight David Coleman Headley is a product of two worlds, a rare blending of East and West @highlight His mother was a fun-loving Philly socialite; his father was a strict, formal Pakistani @highlight His arrest in a heroin sting was a turning point in his life, an uncle says @highlight He's been tied to Lashkar-e-Tayyiba; India says group carried out Mumbai attacks

Measures will also be taken to ensure that homes intended for @placeholder are not solely being used for short–term lettings.
By Amanda Williams Londoners will be able to rent out their homes like a hotel under plans to abolish 40 year old laws which ban renting out properties for less than three months. It means those in the capital will be able to use holiday websites such as Airbnb - which allow homeowners to rent out their properties to visiting tourists on a daily rate basis - without fearing the law. Property laws currently state that Londoners must apply for planning permission if they want to rent out their property for less than three months. However, many already advertise their homes on the site and British company One Fine Stay. @highlight Means those in capital will be able to use holiday websites such as Airbnb @highlight Site allows homeowners to rent properties to visiting tourists on daily rate @highlight Currently they must first seek council permission if renting under 3 months
