It wasn't a shock on the scale of Qatar's swoop for the 2022 World Cup, but the joint bid from Poland and Ukraine was at one stage considered third favorite to host Euro 2012 -- out of three candidates.

query: For many months before this incident, the @placeholder' aggressive drone campaign in Pakistan had been slowing. entities: Afghanistan, America, American, CIA, CNN, NATO, Pakistan, Pakistani, Pakistanis, U.S., United States, al Qaeda, bin Laden passage: (CNN) -- The past year has seen the number of CIA drone strikes in Pakistan plummet. In the first three months of 2012, there were 11, compared with 21 in the first three months of 2011 and a record 28 in the first quarter of 2010. On Monday, Pakistan's parliament started to debate whether the United States should be made to stop CIA drone strikes altogether in the Pakistani border regions with Afghanistan and also whether the U.S. should apologize for NATO airstrikes that killed some two dozen Pakistani soldiers late last year. Given the high level of hostility to the United States in Pakistan, the results of the parliamentary debate are pretty much a foregone conclusion. The parliament will almost certainly vote against the allowing the continuation of the drone strikes and will also demand an American apology for the deaths of its soldiers. Authors: America's drone war in Pakistan is much diminished. They say it's a victim of a deeply troubled relationship between U.S., Pakistan. U.S. raid on bin Laden and other incidents sparked anger from Pakistanis, they say. Drones have killed many al Qaeda leaders, and some targets are low level, they say

Glenn Beck, who invokes the semi-mythical "Black Robe Brigade" -- fighting preachers he claims led the American Revolution -- as a model for a new generation of activists seems to think so. On public radio, Bryan Fischer, a leader of the fundamentalist American Family Association, sternly instructed a libertarian Tea Party activist that her movement was religiously rooted whether she wanted it to be or not. A recent poll by the Public Religion Research Institute backs him up, revealing that 57 percent of self-identified Tea Partiers agree that "America is and always has been a Christian nation." Jeff Sharlet says anti-tax Tea Party shows signs of evolving into religious movement. He says GOP star Sen. DeMint is gatekeeper for Tea Party candidates to establishment.

The Brazilian forward, who has played in Serie A since he was 17, says an Azzurri victory in Poland and Ukraine could rejuvenate Italian football following a year blighted by corruption allegations. The team's Euro 2012 preparations were disrupted by a police raid on their training base four days before the start of the tournament, as several prominent football figures were arrested in connection with a match-fixing and betting investigation.

About 20 protesters walked up Selma's famed Edmund Pettus Bridge and yelled: "Hands up!

Kennedy, Kusnet, Lincoln, Twitter passage: (CNN) -- Today, the nation commemorates the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. All 278 words. Three days later, on the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Americans will recall his most moving speeches, also crisp and concise. The lesson is clear: To express big ideas, use few words. New media, such as Twitter and texting, demand brevity. But brevity is also important if you're communicating as Americans did before "tweet" became a noun and a verb. The newest technologies reinforce the oldest technique of effective writing and speaking: Keep it simple. Although the Gettysburg Address was deceptively simple -- 10 sentences, consisting mostly of one or two-syllable words -- it communicated complex concepts. As the historian Garry Wills has written, by stressing the egalitarian ideas of the Declaration of Independence, "Lincoln had revolutionized the Revolution, giving people a new past to live with that would change their future indefinitely." David Kusnet: The Gettysburg Address was only 278 words, JFK's best talks were brief. Twitter didn't dumb down speech, he says. A few words can relay complex ideas. "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" just 78 words. Kusnet: Many short phrases kicked off change: Those who speak simply are remembered

Kanye West takes the microphone from Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. The pre-show buzz had focused on the highly anticipated tribute to the late Michael Jackson, but West's disruption stole the spotlight. A giddy Swift was in the midst of her acceptance speech for Best Female Video when the often-mercurial West rushed onstage, grabbed her microphone and let loose an outburst on behalf of singer Beyonce Knowles, who had lost out in that category.

The two sides filled the top two spots at the end of last season, and after two epic ties between the sides, more fireworks will be expected at the Etihad Stadium. Here, Martin Keown runs the rule over the key factors that could determine the result of the game. Manuel’s men in the middle Fernandinho and Yaya Toure were so strong as a midfield two last season that they allowed City to play two strikers. With Fernando now at the club, they have more options. Man City's midfield pair could determine the result against Liverpool. Philippe Coutinho could play a key role for Brendan Rodgers' side. Edin Dzeko can play the lone striker role for Manchester City. Signing of Mario Baletlli will be a major bonus for the club

The event went off without a hitch, with security in place and some cheering supporters lining the streets. But the international focus on that moment served as a reminder of the militants who have carried out deadly attacks recently in Russia, and who have threatened more.

The silver pocket watch was found off the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. Diver Rich Hughes was exploring a shallow shipwreck off the Pembrokeshire coast in April 2000 when he noticed the object embedded in sediment. He thought at first that he had found a coin, but he found it was actually an intact silver pocket watch, still bearing the inscription of its owner. Hughes said he was determined to trace the history of the watch, believing such a prized object deserved to belong to family members or a local museum. But that led Hughes on a nine-year search with lots of dead ends and few leads. Diver finds watch on sea floor off Welsh coast, spends years tracing its history. Diver discovers watch originally belonged to Richard Prichard, captain of the Barbara. Prichard died at sea in 1881; watch was probably being returned to his widow.

Monday's explosion shattered glass at the Manhattan Starbucks coffee shop. No one was injured. The Memorial Day explosion damaged the shop, but no one was injured and no motive has been identified for the bombing.

And while a high-ranking U.S. delegation headed to Israel Sunday to brief the Israelis on the talks, bridging the gap there won't be that easy. Talks between major powers and Iran break down but are expected to resume. Aaron Miller says a key problem is gap between U.S. and Israel on Iran.

The technique involves taking a small amount of blood (10-40ml, roughly one or two tablespoons) from a patient’s arm and then spinning it at high speed in a machine called a centrifuge for ten minutes. This high-speed spin causes the blood to separate into its various components. Specifically, it allows platelets (the parts of blood that promote clotting and assist the healing process) and plasma (the liquid part of blood in which red and white blood cells are suspended) to separate from other components in the blood. Blood-spinning, in use since the 1980s, increasingly available on the NHS. Tottenham Hotspur’s Gareth Bale used the treatment on his ankle injury

But unlike the vast majority of conflicts in history, Operation Protective Edge, as Israel calls it, is one in which images of civilian suffering play a central—and potentially decisive—role in the outcome. And the reason is simple: More than a military strategy, Hamas has a media strategy. Calculatingly, Hamas employs primitive military tactics to mount a sophisticated media campaign that can threaten Israel's basic security. And in conducting that offensive, Hamas can count on one of the world's most powerful weapons: the international media. Michael Oren: More than a military strategy, Hamas has a media strategy. He says that by exposing its own population to danger, it cultivates sympathy for its cause. Oren: As any sovereign state, Israel can't tolerate attacks on its territory. Media effectively absolves Hamas of responsibility for putting its own people at risk

The gun turret of the Sydney II was discovered with the rest of the vessel in March 2008. The Australian ship approached, trying to determine whether the vessel was friendly. It wasn't. What resulted was Australia's worst naval disaster: the sinking of the Australian ship and the loss of its entire crew of 645. The wreckage wasn't found until last year, leading to decades of conspiracy theories about what actually happened. On Wednesday a long-awaited report on the sinking of the Sydney II ended the mystery that began when it met its fate, November 19, 1941. Finding: Sydney's captain, senior officers likely to have died in first salvo. Sinking of Sydney II and loss of crew of 645 was Australia's worst naval disaster. German vessel, the Kormoran, was made to look like a cargo ship. Both ships went down; more than 300 on Kormoran survived; wrecks found last year

On one of the greatest nights of his managerial career Moyes masterminded a 1-0 win with the side he took over last November seeing off Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar in style. He was given a helping hand by opposing coach Luis Enrique who bizarrely left Messi out of his starting line-up – perhaps the Barca coach was also paying homage to the world’s oldest club cup competition by resting his most important players. Barcelona missed the chance to take top spot in La Liga after Real Madrid's 2-1 defeat to Valencia earlier in the day.

The Welshman was accused of being selfish after Real Madrid's first defeat in 22 games last weekend away to Valencia but there was nothing selfish about his glorious 40-yard crossfield pass on 12 minutes that dropped on Cristiano Ronaldo's toe enabling him to cross first time for James Rodriguez to score Real Madrid's opener.

Real Madrid won their first game of 2015 with a 3-0 defeat of Espanyol in their La Liga match at the Bernabeu. Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the starting line-up after recovering from a troublesome knee injury. World Cup superstar James Rodriguez opened the scoring on 12 minutes after being set up by Ronaldo.

query: Last week @placeholder effectively prohibited her from voting because of the state's new photo ID requirement. entities: African, African-Americans, American, Brazile, CNN, Chattanooga, Civil Rights movement, Cooper, Donna Brazile, Dorothy Cooper, GOP, Georgia, ID, Jim Crow, Tennessee, Voting Rights Act passage: (CNN) -- Dorothy Cooper is a 96-year-old African-American resident of Chattanooga, Tennessee. She was born in a small town in northern Georgia before women could vote and when Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation. Her life has spanned nearly a century of progress: The 19th Amendment extended suffrage to women, the Civil Rights movement led to the dismantling of segregation laws, and the Voting Rights Act outlawed overt racial discrimination in elections. Mrs. Cooper has always honored this past by voting. In 70 years, she has missed only one election, in 1960, because a move made her miss the registration deadline. Despite living through an era when African-Americans were routinely turned away from the ballot box -- and worse -- Mrs. Cooper said she "never had any problems" exercising her rights. Even before the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965. Donna Brazile: 96-year-old Tennessee woman lacks papers required for new voter ID law. She says the woman had voted for 70 years; the new mandate disenfranchises her. She says GOP push for voter ID's is affecting the elderly, the poor and minorities. Brazile: GOP leaders are more interested in winning than protecting citizens' right to vote
