Mother's Day came early at Milan Fashion Week.
For Dolce & Gabbana's Fall/Winter 2015 show, the designers tapped model mamas like Bianca Balti, beautiful babies and toddlers to showcase their latest collection. While the Italian fashion house has a long history of celebrating family and honoring elders in its ad campaigns (remember these stylish grandmas?), it was touching to see it all come together on the runway. In the matching mommy-and-me shift dresses with rose embellishments or a doodle-print gown that channeled Angelina Jolie's unconventional wedding dress, Dolce & Gabbana's "point of reference" was very clear. See front row photos and a heartwarming finale video from D&G's show below!

Dianne Feinstein: Benjamin Netanyahu 'Arrogant' For Claiming To Speak For All Jews
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Sunday that it was "arrogant" for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to presume to speak for all Jews on a potential nuclear deal between the United States and Iran.
Netanyahu has defended his upcoming speech to Congress on Iran in part by saying that he feels like he is an "emissary of all Israelis, even those who disagree with me, of the entire Jewish people." During an appearance on CNN's "State of The Union," Feinstein, who is Jewish, dismissed the suggestion that Netanyahu spoke on her behalf. "No, he doesn't speak for me on this," she said. "I think it's a rather arrogant statement. I think the Jewish community is like any other community, there are different points of view. I think that arrogance does not befit Israel, candidly. I think Israel is a nation that needs to be protected, that needs to stand free, that hopefully can work constructively with Palestinians to have a side-by-side state and to put an end to the bitterness that has plagued this whole area." Feinstein said that, despite her criticisms, she plans to attend Netanyahu's speech to Congress Tuesday. "I intend to go and I'll listen respectfully, I don't intend to jump up and down," she said. Feinstein added that she hopes Netanyahu speaks about what would happen if negotiations with Iran fail to reach a deal, or reach a deal that the U.S. does not support. Slightly less than half of American voters believe that House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) was wrong to invite Netanyahu to address Congress without first notifying the White House, according to a new NBC News/ Wall Street Journal Poll. According to the poll, 30 percent back the invitation and 22 percent said that they don't know enough to decide. Two-thirds of Democrats surveyed said that the invitation shouldn't have been extended, while just 28 percent of Republicans said the same. The speech has set up a tense back-and-forth between the Obama administration, congressional Republicans and the Israeli prime minister. While the White House initially called the invitation a "breach of protocol," top officials have recently taken a somewhat harder line on the speech, calling it "destructive" to U.S.-Israel relations. "It's been frankly remarkable to me the extent to which over the last five or six weeks the White House has attacked the prime minister, attacked me for wanting to hear from one of our closest allies," Boehner said Sunday on "Face The Nation." "The animosity between the White House and the prime minister is no secret in this town, but they've certainly made it worse over the last five or six weeks." Netanyahu is expected to speak out against a potential deal between the U.S. and Iran as a deadline for negotiations approaches. Netanyahu wants to shut down the Iranian nuclear program completely, while the Obama administration has indicated a willingness to let the country retain some of its nuclear activity, according to the Associated Press. Obama has said that he will not meet with Netanyahu during the visit because of its proximity to the Israeli elections, set for March 17. While some members of Congress have said that they will skip the speech, Netanyahu plans to meet with a bipartisan group of Senate leadership afterward. |

Pope Francis Leads Thousands In Prayer At The Vatican For Christians Kidnapped By ISIS
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has led tens of thousands of people in prayer in St. Peter's Square for Christians and others who have been kidnapped or are victims of other "intolerable brutality" in Syria and Iraq.
The pope on Sunday also appealed for "everyone, in line with their possibilities, (to) act to alleviate the suffering." More than 220 Syrian Christians were kidnapped last week by the Islamic State group, with no word on their fate. Francis called for silent prayers for "these sisters and brothers who suffer for their faith in Syria and Iraq." The packed square fell silent for a minute or so. The pope said he wanted to assure the victims of kidnappings, abuse and other violence that "we don't forget them." |

Activists Say ISIS Releases 19 Syrian Christians
BEIRUT (AP) — The Islamic State group released at least 19 Christians on Sunday who were among the more than 220 people the militants took captive in northeastern Syria last week, activists and a local leader said.
The news provided a modicum of relief to a Christian Assyrian community that has been devastated by the abductions, which saw Islamic State fighters haul off entire families from a string of villages along the Khabur River in Hassakeh province. But fears remain over the fate of the hundreds still held captive. Bashir Saedi, a senior official in the Assyrian Democratic Organization, said the 16 men and three women arrived safely Sunday at the Church of the Virgin Mary in the city of Hassakeh. He said the 19 — all of them from the village of Tal Ghoran — had traveled by bus from the Islamic State-held town of Shaddadeh south of Hassakeh. The Assyrian Human Rights Network also reported the release, and published photographs on its Facebook page that it said were from Hassakeh showing a crowd dressed in winter coats greeting the returnees. The photos appeared genuine and corresponded to Associated Press reporting. It was not immediately clear why the Islamic State group freed these captives. Saedi said all those released were around 50 years of age or older, which suggests age might have been a factor. The Assyrian Human Rights Network, meanwhile, said the captives had been ordered released by a Shariah court after paying an unspecified amount of money levied as a tax on non-Muslims. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also said a Shariah court had ruled the captives be freed, but the reasoning behind the decision was unknown. The fate of the more than 200 other Christian Assyrians still in the Islamic State group's hands remains unclear. Most of them are believed to have been taken by Islamic State fighters to Shaddadeh, which is located 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of Hassakeh. Assyrian leaders and Sunni tribal sheikhs have begun reaching out to the Islamic State group to try to negotiate the release of the captives, activists said. "We're trying to contact any party that might help. We're working through our friends the tribal sheikhs," said Younan Talia, a senior official in the Assyrian Democratic Organization. "Some friends of Daesh are trying to send messages." Talia said there has been no response yet. Daesh is an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group. The Sweden-based director of the Assyrian Network for Human Rights in Syria, Osama Edward, also said efforts were underway to try to negotiate the captives' release. The abductions have added to fears among religious minorities in both Syria and Iraq, who have been repeatedly targeted by the Islamic State group. During the militants' bloody campaign in both countries, where they have declared a self-styled caliphate, minorities have been repeatedly targeted and killed, driven from their homes, had their women enslaved and places of worship destroyed. ___ Associated Press writers Albert Aji in Damascus, Syria, and Ashraf Khalil in Beirut contributed to this report. |

CCTV Video May Show Missing British Girls In Istanbul
ISTANBUL (AP) — A Turkish television station says it has obtained video showing three missing British teenagers at an Istanbul bus terminal before they boarded a bus to a city near Turkey's border with Syria.
A Haber news, which has close ties to the government, released the footage, which it says is of the schoolgirls. Authorities believe they fled England to join the Islamic State extremist group. A Haber cited police officials in its report. But Turkish officials reached by The Associated Press, including an Istanbul police official, would not confirm the authenticity of the video. A few aspects of the girls' dress in the video appear to match security video stills released by British police of the teens at London's Gatwick Airport prior to boarding a flight to Istanbul on Feb. 17. A Haber says the two-minute video shows shots of the three girls walking in and out of three separate bus offices over a period of 17 hours on Feb. 17 and Feb. 18 at the terminal in Istanbul's Esenler district. British authorities previously identified the missing girls as Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and Amira Abase, 15. |

Russia Detains Ukrainian Parliament Member Over Odessa Fire
MOSCOW (AP) — Moscow police have detained a member of Ukraine's parliament as he was taking part in a march mourning a slain Russian opposition figure. Ukraine's parliament has protested the detention.
The federal Investigative Committee said Alexei Goncharenko was being questioned Sunday about his alleged involvement in a fire that broke out last year in his home city Odessa between pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian demonstrators. Dozens died in the fire, including some Russian citizens. The speaker of Ukraine's parliament, Volodymyr Groisman, said the detention was a violation of international law because Goncharenko has diplomatic immunity. The speaker urged Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin to take urgent measures to have the parliament member released. For many Russians, the Odessa fire remains one of the more painful episodes of the Ukraine conflict. |
