After little action all day, a single senator dug in, forcing the Senate to stall and miss the midnight deadline. Читать дальше...

The international pop smash’s corresponding dance was simultaneously performed by the ring of dancers on the South Korean stadium centerstage, who looked like they enjoyed the welcome break from their regular routine.
