The Battle Of Britain

In June 1940, Nazi Germany overran France and forced the British army to evacuate at Dunkirk. Severely lacking in military equipment, Britain and her empire now stood alone against Adolf Hitler’s forces. Nevertheless, Winston Churchill, Britain’s new prime minister, refused to come to peace terms, forcing Hitler to plan an invasion – codenamed Operation Sea Lion. To stand any chance of crossing the English Channel, Germany needed to achieve mastery of the skies above Southern England during that summer. The Battle of Britain – the first major battle to be decided entirely by air power – began.

Bolivia keeps Morales off ballot

Bolivia’s electoral tribunal has included leftist Senate leader Andrónico Rodríguez on the list of presidential candidates approved for the ballot but excluded the powerful former socialist leader Evo Morales — the other major thorn in the president’s side. As tensions escalate in the run-up to Bolivia’s August 17 elections, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal reinstated Rodríguez, a 36-year-old political upstart with close ties to Morales and roots in the ex-president’s rural coca-growing stronghold, weeks after suspending his candidacy on technical grounds in a decision that shocked many Bolivians. ”We are the candidate of the people,“ Rodríguez said in a speech welcoming the revival of his campaign. “Our primary concern has been to wage the legal battle, and in the end, the power of the people had to prevail.“
