Ismail Aden Rage.

Baada ya Ismail Aden Rage kurudi Tanzania usiku wa Novemba 22, 2013, akiwa Airport Dar es salaam aliahidi kwamba Novemba 23, 2013 angezungumza na waandishi wa habari kuhusu yote yaliyotokea wakati akiwa nje ya nchi ikiwemo kusimamishwa kuwa Mwenyekiti wa Klabu ya Simba.

Happy 21st Birthday! Miley Cyrus’ Top Five Live Performances

She’s grown up before our very eyes, and singer/actress Miley Cyrus has finally reached the pivotal age of 21!
In honor of the “Hannah Montana” babe’s big day, we’ve compiled some of her most vocally solid performances, devoid of all the twerking controversy and foam finger tomfoolery. After all, this girl can really sing!

1. “Jolene” from Cyrus’ Backyard Sessions [Summer 2012]
Getting back to her southern roots, Miley opted to cover this Dolly Parton classic, backed by a stripped-down acoustic band.




2. “Summertime Sadness” BBC Studios [November 12, 2013]
Showing her penchant for covering other artists, Cyrus selected Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness” and once again, the minimalist approach to the music really allowed her voice to shine through it all of its raspy glory.




3. “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” Jimmy Kimmel Live [February 2012]
Her appreciation for the music of Bob Dylan really endeared Miley to fans she may have never won otherwise. With nothing but a guitar and a microphone, Cyrus owned the audience by the time she sang her last note.




4. “The Climb” CNN Heroes [December 2011]
Long before she writhed around naked on a wrecking ball while Terry Richardson filmed the whole thing, Miley inspired the good folks at the 2011 CNN Heroes event. While definitely younger-looking at that point, Cyrus still sounded just as mature as she does today.

Hard bargaining in Geneva on Iran nuclear deal

GENEVA (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and five foreign ministers joined Iran nuclear talks Saturday, cautioning there were no guarantees their participation would be enough to seal a deal to curb Tehran's atomic program.
The goal is a six-month agreement to freeze Iran's nuclear program while offering Iran incentives through limited sanctions relief. If the interim deal holds, the parties would negotiate final stage deals to ensure Iran does not build nuclear weapons.
But it was unclear whether the current round, which began Wednesday, would produce any first-stage deal.
Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague spoke of "very difficult negotiations," saying "narrow gaps" remain on the same issues that blocked agreement at the last round earlier this month.
"We're not here because things are necessarily finished," Hague told reporters. "We're here because they're difficult, and they remain difficult."
Kerry and his counterparts from Russia, Britain, France, China and Germany headed for Geneva after diplomats said Friday that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and top European Union diplomat Catherine Ashton had made progress on a key sticking point — Iran's claim to a right to produce nuclear fuel through uranium enrichment.

Details were not released but it appeared the two sides were trying to reconcile Iran's insistence that it has a right to enrich for peaceful purposes while assuaging fears that Tehran was secretly trying to build a bomb, a charge the Iranians deny.
As the talks entered an intensive phase, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said the negotiations had reached "the final moment," according to China's Xinhua news agency.
Others were less upbeat.
Germany's Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle spoke of "a realistic chance" for a deal "but there is still a lot of work to do." Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told RIA-Novosti news agency that negotiations were very close to a breakthrough but "unfortunately I cannot say that there is assurance of achieving this breakthrough."
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told reporters he wanted "a deal — but a solid deal — and I am here to work toward that end."

France's concern that the negotiators were rushing into a flawed deal with Iran helped delay an agreement during a session nearly two weeks ago.
Other obstacles include Iran's plutonium reactor under construction in Arak as well as a formula for providing limited sanctions relief without weakening international leverage against Iran.
Zarif appeared to allude to the toughening of demands after France's intervention. Iran's Mehr news agency quoted him as saying that back then, "the two sides had agreement on issues but now it has reached a stage that there are various viewpoints and it is somehow difficult."
Enrichment is a hot-button issue because it can be used both to make reactor fuel and to make nuclear weapons. Iran argues it is enriching only for power, and scientific and medical purposes, and says it has no interest in nuclear arms.
Washington and its allies point to Tehran's earlier efforts to hide enrichment and allege it worked on developing such weapons.

Iran has insisted on that right throughout almost a decade of mostly fruitless negotiations. But Zarif last weekend indicated that Iran is ready to sign a deal that does not expressly state that claim.
Iranian hard-liners are suspicious of talk of nuclear compromise since moderate President Hassan Rouhani took office in September, fearing his team will give not get enough in terms of sanctions relief over the six-months of any first-stage agreement.
Several U.S. senators — both Democrat and Republican — have voiced displeasure with the parameters of the potential agreement, arguing that the U.S. and its partners are offering too much for something short of a full freeze on uranium enrichment.
On Wednesday, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said his country would never compromise on "red lines." Since then Tehran has publicly reverted to its original stance — that the six powers must recognize uranium enrichment as Iran's right, despite strong opposition by Israel and within the U.S. Congress.
Still, comments from Iranian officials in Geneva indicated that reverting to tough talk on enrichment may be at least partially meant for home consumption.
In Geneva, a senior Iranian negotiator said the Iranian claim to the right to enrich did not need to be explicitly recognized in any initial deal, despite Khamenei's comment, adding that the supreme leader was not planning to intervene in the talks. He did suggest, however, that language on that point remained difficult and that there were other differences.
The negotiator demanded anonymity because he was not allowed to discuss the confidential talks.
