Road Hazard

A YouTube video of two Iranian girls filming themselves singing in a car and then getting into an accident went viral recently, inspiring a Facebook page where others uploaded parody videos and posted comments about the clip. Police in Iran have launched an investigation into the accident, to determine whether the road accident was due to careless driving.

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and European Union's Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton met in Istanbul at the end of May to discuss the next stages of nuclear negotiations. But amid reports that talks went well, there were also concerns that–like the two women whose fun went badly wrong–millions would look on as a less than happy ending unfolded.
