BRITONISEA SET TO HOST WORLD HIT FESTIVAL 27; NO DELEGATION FOR US SUMMER GAMES!

The World Hit Festival saw Britonish uncertainty recently. The country was set to not participate in the World Hit Festival in Kalosia, but, IGBK decided to pick up hosting responsibility. Though Rigas Jengiz - who was the representative for Britonisea - drew with Izmedu after a tiebreak, we were forced to go the long way to see how many people voted for the winner. After all the waiting, it was announced that Britonisea had the most amount of votes; and therefore, Britonisea won the 26th World Hit Festival. Soon after, BVC said that they would take hosting rights from IGBK (who said they couldn't host) and use a bit of the money put aside for the 50th WorldVision Song Contest we never had. A few hours after they announced they would host, they announced that the Narook Arena will be hosting the competition - which is on the other side of the city from arenakyvivre; the arena which failed to win the GBRB2016, which failed greatly.

Britonisea has not yet revealed who will participate in Kyvivre, but the Mehlodhifehstivalhen finals on the 2nd of September will tell us who will represent us in the World Hit Festival. The winner, which is out of 10 artists, will then go on to represent us in World Hit as a "trial" before major improvements are made ahead of the 51st WorldVision Song Contest - which is Britonisea's 20th anniversary (debut in WorldVision 31). Meanwhile, Estogium will return to the World Hit after speculations of a voting fix against Ultimaversian nations. Estogium has chosen Karjohan Kajetan who well suits Estogium with his song, "Midsomer." A holiday in Estogium which is equivalent to our Bank Holiday Week in late August.

>Ndaku still leads regional medal table in Aeropag

Speaking of Estogium, they have confirmed their delegation today after they have 587 sign ups - which is the largest Ultimaversian delegation ever (so far) which overtakes Britonisea's 548 in the X Summer Olympic Games and even Britonisea's 448 in the current Olympic Games. The largest delegation in the US Summer Games is West Phoenicia, who have around 700 sign ups. Britonisea should be signing up before the 2nd of September with a delegation "larger than ever" which could be rivaling the delegation of West Phoenicia. They have announced that it will be larger than the delegation in previous Summer Olympic Games.

In Press releases, it has been understood that nations Aurevbush, Juggalo Syndicate and Ndaku could be announce their entry within the next 24 hours.

ARIOSLAVIAN ARMY LANDS IN AR-AFUZ, A FULL-SCALE ANTI-JIHADIST OFFENSIVE EXPECTED

This night, a 100.000 men-strong detachment of the Arioslavian Army under the command of Marshall Yuri Bulatov arrived to the Bigtopian shores, escorted by a group of the Black Sea Fleet ships, consisting of carrier Darsk, 2 destroyers, 4 cruisers and 7 frigates. The army landed in Bigtopian capital Ar-Afuz meeting no resistance. Currently, the army is fortificating in Ar-Afuz, waiting for further orders. According to the Ministry of National Defence, the army has been instructed to co-operate with Aurevbushian and Manticoran troops stationed in Bigtopia. Earlier this night, Arioslavian Air Forces bombed the Caliphate's positions near Damascus, killing at least 1300 jihadists and destroying an airfield occupied by the Caliphate along with 2 Bigtopian fighters captured by the jihadists and stationed there before.





After landing in Ar-Afuz, Marshall Bulatov issued a special adress to all political powers of Bigtopia, aired on Bigtopian media:

Soldiers, politicians, civilians,

We arrive on a solemn hour for your nation - a history of the Middle East decides now. Our army, fighting side by side with our Aurevbushian and Manticoran allies, arrives to bring peace for Bigtopia. The jihadists will be destroyed. However, the fight requires unity. From this very point, the ideological differences between political factions in Bigtopia shall not be a matter. I call all political forces of Bigtopia to arrive to Ar-Afuz to pledge an oath to President Hafiz and her national unity government. Those who refuse will be treated as traitors and enemies and will be destroyed, sharing the unavoidable fate of the Caliphate. Until the war ends, you are with us and our allies or against us. There's no third option.

According to Reuters agency, next regiments of the Bigtopian army - some led by both pro-Arioslavian and pro-Western colonels - gather in Ar-Afuz to join the forces of the Coalition. The Kurdish forces also answered positively to the call.

Meanwhile, the ITAR-TASS agency informs about a bigger Arioslavian army group entering the territories of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. The agency informs about at least 300.000 soldiers.

UPDATE: The governments of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan confirmed that Arioslavian army entered the territories of these states. However, according to statements of Arioslavian, Georgian, Armenian and Azer governments, such moves are legal according to the 1999 Caucassus Military Access Pact, as Arioslavia requested for a permission to enter the troops. The forces of 350.000 men under Marshall Ivan Kovalev are expected to enter Bigtopia from the North-East via Roman or Persian territory.

Congress has approved attack on Ar-Afuz
The Congress has today approved an attack on Ar-Afuz. However, there will be no boots on the ground for another week.
The army can deploy at a moment's notice, but Military Police are investigating an alleged group of 16 defectors to the Caliphate. When the investigation is complete, and the defectors found, the army will begin their deployment of troops onto the area.
But, in the meantime, there will he several air and sea assaults until the troops land, Thursday next week.

A sniper and his spotter have been congratulated after they thwarted a suicide attack, and killed a highly ranked Caliphate leader. Abdur Rahmaan Sayd, was confirmed to be planning a major terrorist attack, using assault rifles, confirmed by Tanzeratti military intelligence. A sniper and a spotter were flown in by helicopter, on top of an abandoned skyscraper, about 20 floors high, yesterday morning. They camped out on the fourth floor. They waited until 4:20pm Iraq time, watching what was believed to be an alleged outpost. Naval officers proposed bombing the outpost, but this was abandoned due to the high level of civillians in the area. The group of 6 terrorists exited the building. They were all killed by 2 bullets. The first bullet entered the chest of a terrorist, and ricocheted off of his ribs into Sayd's head. The next bullet was shot when the four terrorists were in a line, and the bullet went through all of their heads. They were extracted at 6:43 Iraq time.

SCHOOL BEGINS, THE MEMORIES OF THE DEADLY ATTACK RETURN
by Vadim Ustinov

Telgrad; Bishlyk, Shershenyan ASR - Yesterday marked the beginning of the new school year for thousands of students of the primary and high schools. The schools have been visited by the state officials. Prime Minister Vladimir Smirnov visited the 105th Lenin High School in Telgrad. In a speech, he stressed the importance of the education in creating the future Arioslavia. You are all future Gagarins, you are the future of Arioslavia - he said to the students.

However, yesterday has also brought the painful memories. In 2004, during the inauguration of the school year in the primary school in the city of Bishlyk in the Shershenyan Autonomous Socialist Republic, a group of Shershen Islamists took hostage over 1200 people, demanding the independence of Shershenya. During the three-day crisis, which ended in a tragic Spetsnaz action, 337 people were killed, including 128 children. This attack, along with the Kamenyevo Bomb Attacks and the Berezovka Theatre Hostage Crisis was one of the causes of the introduction of the martial law in the ShASR, which resulted in an outbreak of violence in Shershenya and its short-lived independence, finished by Arioslavian Army operation in 2005. Yesterday, on the 12th anniversary of this tragedy, President Vassily Fedorov visited the school.

ARIOSLAVIAN OFFENSIVE PULLS THE JIHADISTS BACK FROM THE ROMAN BORDER
by Artyom Krasavtsev

Ar-Afuz, Bigtopia - Arioslavian forces entered Northern Bigtopia using the SPQR territory, completely surprising the Caliphate forces gathered there. Over 10.000 jihadists who were stationed near the Roman border - probably with a purpose of the attack on Anatolia Province - have been killed since Monday. Currently, the corps of 350.000 soldiers under Marshall Kovalev marches towards East, cleansing the Northern Bigtopian frontier of the jihadists. Meanwhile, the forces under Marshall Bulatov, who earlier landed in Bigtopian capital Ar-Afuz, fighting side by side with the Bigtopian forces, managed to liberate the portion of the coast South to the capital. The besieged coastal town of Damariyyah, where a Manticoran garrison heroically repealed the attacks of the jihadists for nearly a month, has been relieved by the Arioslavian forces.

The forces of anti-jihadist Coalition currently control the big part of the Bigtopian coast as well as the territories near the Roman and Iranian border, which means that the jihadists now have to fight on two fronts. However, Mosul, Karbala, Aleppo and Damascus are still under the Caliphate's control.

BRITONISEA ANNOUNCES WV51 SONG // OBVIOUS POLITICAL STATEMENT

MEHKL MADDOX AJAX The Broken Fortune

The Broken Fortune - Mehkl Maddox Ajax

After the return of the Mehlodhifehstivalhen, the Britonish nation selection show, there has been good results from the contest. Receiving 66% of the viewership at the time, The Mehlodhifehstivalhen Finals was the most watched show of the Summer months so far. Recently, Britonisea's roller coaster results has been perceived badly throughout Britonish media and there has been major changes, announced a few weeks back, to the selection of Britonish acts, to ensure that the roller coaster results are avoided in near future.

After an intense night, it has come to the World's attention that the song which will represent Britonisea at the 51st WorldVision Song Contest and the 27th World Hit Festival - luckily in Britonisea - will be "The Broken Fortune" by an unknown singer Mehkl Maddox Ajax.

Mehkl Maddox Ajax is a 26 year old male, who made successful on the Britonish show, "Mehlodhifehstivalhen" as he won the both the televotes and the public votes ahead of acts like Deacon O'Foier and Braden Hillen, who participated in Vha Mehlodhivestoile - one of the biggest WorldVision selection processes for Britonisea, to claim victory. Though Mehkl wasn't initially a favourite, his simple staging was "different" and refreshing, while his song was quite "ballad-like." There has been many comparisons to Rigas Jengiz's "Disappointment" which won the 26th World Hit Festival in Kalosia.

In Rigas' song, it spoke about disappointment and how disappointment can be a word which everyone wants to avoid because of it's hurtful connotations. The comparison comes in to effect in Mehkl's song "The Broken Fortune" as the listener could relate this back to whatever Rigas was speaking of. But what was Rigas speaking of? Well, in the World Hit Festival, Britonisea was set to withdraw, and admittedly, Rigas wrote about the alternating success of the nation between the WHF and the WV. This makes us believe that the depth of Mehkl's song could relate back to WorldVision...but, in what way?


These are what the first lyrics read;

A secret chance,
A strong façade
A hypnotising gift.
An overpowering trance.

Quite interesting, don't you think? Now that this has been revealed, he will head to Kyvivre and he will start practising for the upcoming World Hit. Then he will travel or will he have to travel?? to the host of the 51st WorldVision Song Contest.

Contact us if you think you know what the song is about! You will be able to see the whole song at the World Hit Festival 27, which is in a couple of weeks. If you want to check out more of the lyrics, head down to http://www.britonisea.gov/worldvision/51 or http://www.britonisea.gov/whf27

LIVE
From Telgrad Kremlin

Aleksander Lovmenko: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Today, my guest is President Vassily Fedorov. Good evening, Mr President.

Vassily Fedorov: Good evening.

AL: Mr President, Arioslavia decided to send its armed forces to Bigtopia, a decision which have shocked many abroad as well as in Arioslavia. How would you explain this move?

VF: Well, the conflict in Bigtopia has gone to a point when further inactivity would mean the victory of the jihadists. The SPQR seemed to be unable to defend its territory, the Manticoran forces were forced to retreat. In this situation, we had to act.

AL: According to my knowledge, you didn't inform about this move our Western partners during the Seattle Summit?

VF: I told them that we're ready to act. But when I was leaving Telgrad for the Summit, the situation differed much from the current one. When we were debating in Seattle, Shaqqur was our ally. Then he turned out to be a traitor. Now he is dead.

AL: Speaking of Shaqqur, some say that in fact he was playing his own game using Arioslavian protection. Some blame you for letting him to do so.

VF: With all respect, I've known about Shaqqur's possible plans long before his betrayal. When I was heading for Seattle, I still hoped that he's a serious leader. But then he started attacking our allies and that's why I decided to let his own military depose him.

AL: And you decided to let them kill him?

VF: No. To be honest, I would prefer the coup members not to kill him. But I'm not omnipotent. Any leader is.

AL: The coup has divided Bigtopia. Is it true that the Arioslavian intervention is a desperate try to save Arioslavian influence there?

VF: The coup has divided Bigtopia to a point when we can hardly speak of any Bigtopian national unity - and the jihadists are advancing. I have ordered our generals to co-operate with all political powers there, except the Islamists, in order to bring them under the leadership of President Hafiz and her post-coup government. As you know, until 2016 Hafiz was a leader of the Democratic Socialists and she sympathized with the anti-Shaqqur rebels. So, she's neutral and we still support her. Is it the defence of our interests? I don't think so. After all, we could just install a Communist government. But we know it would create tensions with the West.

AL: Speaking of the West, what are our current relations with it? Some hardliners say that we shouldn't co-operate with the West.

VF: That's the question our nation tries to answer since the Enlightement Era. There were always radical Occidentalists and radical Nationalists in Arioslavia. I believe that the right way for Arioslavia is to be the bridge between the West and the East. It's wrong to think of our country as of a complete antithesis of the West, some kind of a wild beast that occuppies half of Eurasia and only waits for an occasion to attack the weaker nations. But this is also wrong to think that we should leave our national strategic interests to show that we're the true friends of the West, as many people in the West would like us to do so. After all, the West itself is divided and far from unity. The Manticoran Empire, Aurevbush and Tanzeratti also defend their interests. Any call for us to leave our interests is a sign of hypocrisy. That's why we need international co-operation - to avoid conflicts and to bring back stability to the world.

AL: Thank you for this interview, Mr President.

VF: Thank you.

AL: This was the special edition of the "Horizon" programme. Thank you for watching.

That's it folks! Our WorldVision Journey Ends Here!

County: All
Time: 16:55, Wednesday 7th September 2016

By Edna Jillingham

Despite the decline in viewers of the WorldVision Song Contest - and major improvement in the World Hit Festival - it has come to our attention that Britonisea will be "brexiting" the WorldVision Song Contest amid fears of Britonisea leaving the World Hit Festival a couple of weeks back. There is expected to be a formal statement by the heads of BVC later confirming that Britonisea will no longer take part of the contest. This will also see BVC off the WorldVision Committee, where bosses from some of the leading broadcasters come together to speak about the future of the contest.

It is not yet understood why the BVC has decided to make this drastic decision, but, it is expected to be announced when the formal statement comes out. Moreover, it is unlikely that the BITC will take up rights to broadcast the WorldVision Song Contest - which means, it is unlikely that the contest will broadcast within Britonish Borders; unless you go online (to a non-Britonish site.) It is unclear whether Estogium will continue participating, but it is expected that Estogium would "range quit" the contest, for whatever reason.

WorldVision is integral to our community in Britonisea, but it seems as if people are reverting to the World Hit Festival, which saw Britonisea win in World Hit 26. According to sources, the 50th WorldVision Song Contest struggled to topple the 26th World Hit Festival (both held in Kalosia) on BVC. Mehlodhifehstivalen, however, remains the most-watched show for the past three months.

Mehlodhifehstivalhen and the World Hit will all still broadcast on BVC, with the Vha Mehlodhivestoile 'cancelled' until further notice. Britonisea will participate in the 51st WorldVision Song Contest, the 20th anniversary of Britonisea's first participation with Garange L'Iwes, with Mehkl Maddox Ajax singing "The Broken Fortune."

Taipei bombing kills five, wounds 12.

Arianna Jade, AP

Taipei, Taiwan--A suicide bombing this morning at the popular Star Brew's pub in downtown Taipei has left at least five people dead and a dozen more hospitalized, according to a spokesman for Occupation Force Taiwan (OFT). The OFT has been in Taiwan for 110 days and in that time has had to deal with no less than thirty bombings and attacks against both military personnel and civilian bystanders. This attack, so far, appears no different. Despite no group having claimed responsibility for the attack, OFT Commander, Marshal Henri Terdei, believes that the Taiwanese Liberation Front, a liberationist group that has existed since the Tanzerattish occupation of the island, is responsible. The TLF has claimed responsibility for 23 of the 30 attacks and have adopted the habit of ambushing and capturing Manticoran natives for ransom to help fund their operations. This attack comes just days after pro-Manticoran governor, Tian Xian Zheng, was elected for his second term.

Arioslavian, Manticoran counteroffensives push Caliphate back to Fallujah

Kurt Vaughn, AP

Manticoran Frontline, Bigtopia--The Joint Manticoran-Arioslavian counteroffensive against the Caliphate that has been running since last month has forced the Caliphate forces to a line that hinges around the city of Fallujah. At present, most analysts believe the Coalition will bypass Fallujah and liberate it at a later date. The offensive has been further complicated by repeated conflicts with other factions, including Daesh, in Yellow Zones. Coalition casualties are estimated at 100,000 men and women, most lost to ambushes behind the lines.

FIRE OF THE PANGALA BUDDHIST MONASTERY
by Vadim Ustinov

Kyzylkar, Tovan ASR - Two people died in a fire that started in the Pangala Monastery in Kyzylkar, capital of the Tovan ASR in Arioslavian Far East. The firefighters managed to fight off the fire before the monastery's unique library has been damaged. The Militia is investigating the causes of the fire. The most probable version is an accident, as the fire started in monastery's kitchen and the only victims were two monks who worked there.

Pangala is one of the oldest Buddhist places of cult in Arioslavia. Built between 1185 and 1200, it had been a seat of the local Lamaist Theocratic government until the Revolution. From 1930 to 1996 it served as a warehouse. In 1996 it has been given to the Buddhists again, along with the nearby Tovan Buddhist Cultural Center.

ATV TO PRODUCE A NEW HISTORICAL DRAMA SERIES
by Olga Spiridonova

Telgrad - The ATV announced today that it's planning to produce a new historical series. The action of the ATV's new production, known under the title Tsar: Age of Blood will take place in early eighteenth century and will center around Tsar Pavel the Great and his efforts in order to reform Arioslavia and turn it into an empire.

According to production supervisor Vladimir Borotnikov, the scenario of the first season is nearly ready. Currently, we're looking for a director that would be able to make it properly. - he stated. Several noted foreign directors expressed their interest in making the series - including such famous film makers like Arthur McAllister from Aurevbush or Sven Hedberg from Ekoz. However, the audience is divided. Many would prefer to see an Arioslavian as the director. The critics aren't unanimous too. Many point out that foreign world-class director would bring more Western audience to watch the series if it is aired by TV in other countries. ATV has already started negotiations with BVC and other Western broadcasters to sell the rights to broadcast the series. The production will cost the equivalent of 80 million $.

WHERE IS THE LOST PLANE?
by Polina Mikhailova

Vicuna, the Manticoran Empire - Still no information about the fate of the lost ME-750 Shanghai-Delhi flight with over 500 people aboard. Two days ago, the contact with the machine has been lost, at the time the plane was probably flying over the Himalayas. Unfortunetely, the authorities aren't sure where the plane is, as the machine was flying over the very remote part of the mountains. We don't know if the plane has been destroyed or hijacked. It's too early to speculate. - said Nizam Singh, who represents the Manticoran special crisis commitee estabilished in Śrinagar, Northern Sphinx. As for now, we can do nothing. - he added.

What is even worse, current weather conditions in the region forced the authorities to cancel the search until the end of the week. The families of the passangers - including the families of 10 Arioslavian citizens - have to prepare for the worst, as chances for any people to survive are extremely low.

TERRORIST ATTACK IN VICUNA! HUNDREDS MISSING!

An explosion ripped through the Arioslavian Embassy in Vicuna just moments ago. Witnesses say the explosion came from a 5 ton truck parked in front of the Embassy. The police have yet to release any additional information regarding the bombing but we will keep apprised of all relevant details.

UPDATE!

Nearly two hundred people have been found dead after last night's Embassy bombing in Vicuna. Evidence has been found linking the Caliphate to the bombing. Close to three hundred people have been injured. About an hour after the bombing, a police headquarters nearby was attacked. Four officers were killed and seven wounded. About 20 men attacked the building, 7 of whom were killed in the shootout. Two others were wounded and have been taken in for questioning. The attackers have been linked to the Caliphate.

BREAKING
ARIOSLAVIAN EMBASSY IN VICUNA DESTROYED!

Shocking news come from Vicuna, the capital of the Manticoran Empire. According to Manticoran media, the Arioslavian embassy has been destroyed by an explosion caused by a truck filled with explosives. We have information about hundreds of victims. Now, we connect with Sergey Nikitin, the correspondent of the ATV in Vicuna. Sergey, what has exactly happened?

Speaking live from Vicuna, Manticoran Empire
SERGEY NIKITIN
ATV

Unfortunetely, I must confirm that there are many victims and wounded. At the moment I'm standing at one of Vicuna's main streets and I can see the enormous cloud of black dust and smoke over the city center buildings, coming from the place where was the embassy. The access to the site has been closed by the police, more and more panicked people are here. The nearby area is evacuated.

But what exactly happened? Was it a terrorist attack?

Yes, the police confirms it was an act of terror, although no organisation has admitted to it yet. The witnesses inform that at one moment, the truck driver started to hit people on the streets, which caused chaos, as the panicked crowds started to escape. According to one of the survivors, his deadly ride was about 500 meters long and ended up with a blast that destroyed the embassy. So, it seems that the embassy was the final target of the attacker and this suicide strike was sophisticated.

How many victims are there?

At least 150, but surely the number of dead will rise. Unfortunetely, the police confirmed that the ambassador of Arioslavia is one of the victims. Wait... Now I have information about another attack! The Manticoran media inform about the shooting near one of the police stations in one of the Southern districts of Vicuna.

Is it another terrorist attack?

I've no information about it.

Thank you Sergey, we'll be back to you soon. Now, we have information that appeared at the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs seconds ago. Minister Kuznetsov has called the Manticoran ambassador in Arioslavia for an urgent meeting in the Ministry. The Ministry also informs that the Arioslavian consulate in Shanghai will temporarly act as a main Arioslavian diplomatic facility in the Manticoran Empire. We'll be back to you when we have more information on the attack in Vicuna.

The RMA is believed to be the main ground force, due largely to their powered battle armor while air support is provided by the Arioslavian and Manticoran Air Forces. The battle began at 08:30 this morning and has been raging for hours as soldiers push through the city. We took a moment to speak with some of the soldiers during a lull in the fighting. Unfortunately, many of these interviews have not yet been released due to security concerns."

CLASHES BETWEEN GYPSIES AND LOCAL CITIZENS NEAR NOVOZAVODSK
by Vadim Ustinov

Krylevo, Novozavodskaya oblast' - 25 people have been arrested by the Militia after a brawl in the village of Zhirinovka near the town of Krylevo in Novozavodskaya oblast'. Yesterday in the evening, a group of 30 men attacked a Gypsy campsite near the village. According to local Militia officers, some of the people involved in the brawl were drunk and among the arrested, there are both Gypsies and the locals. However, the witnesses say that the Gypsies harassed local women and this was the cause of the attack.

The brawl is the 47th such incident noted by Militia since January. This time, it has been noted by the politicians. Konstantin Morozov, the MP of the Communist Party of Arioslavia known for his nationalist views, announced that he is going to propose a new law concerning the Gypsies, which would force them to leave their semi-nomadic lifestyle. The human rights advocates are outraged, but the new bill would be proceeded after October parliamentary elections.

ARIOSLAVIA SUPPORTS THE BIGTOPIAN NATIONAL COUNCIL, CONDEMNS THE 'MODERATE ISLAMISTS'
by Olga Spiridonova

Ar-Afuz, Bigtopia - As the Coalition pushes back the forces of the Caliphate, the Arioslavian Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls other members of the alliance to revoke their support for the Islamic Front and the so-called Army of Conquest as well as other 'moderate Islamist' organisations.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Defence released a video from a drone, showing the forces of the Army of Conquest attacking the humanitarian convoy near Mosul. According to the Ministry spokesman, the 'moderate Islamists', supported by Saudi Arabia, took numerous sabotage actions against the Coalition forces, slowing down its offensive actions. Today, Minister of Foreign Affairs Kuznetsov accused Saudi Arabia of supporting the jihadists in order to create a Saudi-controlled "legal version" of Caliphate in Bigtopia.

Survivors of the attack gather at Lincoln Park to mourn their lost families and friends with candles, flowers, and flags.

Bearbay, Winnetka-

On March 23rd, 2016, the International Youth Committee of Humanities hosted the Ultimaverse Day of Colors Summit in Bearbay University, a festival attracting all from across the globe to bring together people of different background, culture, nationality, race, sexual orientation, gender, and intellectual diversity. That same day, at 12:33 (CST), 2,200 people have perished in bomb attacks, set in key areas of the campus, including the Sam Woolleen Arena, Fanshaye Stadium, the James A Temple Campus, Murphy School of Law, and the Cultural Exploration Center. Several emergency crews came to respond to the attack, including the BFD's HAZMAT Division, Winnetka State Police's Bomb Squad, and even the Winnetka Army National Guard. It became a day where Aurevbush grinded to a halt and the world stopped spinning. For about a week, all ports of entry, airports, and seaports nationwide have been closed and the Pentagon at Watkinspole has set all forces to DEFCON 3. Furthermore, with unanimous approval from the Federal Congress, Supreme Leader Adam Watkins has approved of the deployment of 425,000 total personnel to fight side by side with Arioslavian, Manticroan, and Tanzerattish forces in the war torn region of Bigtopia.

4 suspects have been found responsible for planning the attacks and planting the bombs; Faiza al-Nagi (killed in action), Bahar Jibawi ( Bearbay student, tried), Ibrahim Khalifa (Janitor at B.U, tried), and Thomas McCutcheon (potential student, tried and sentenced to death). According to the 3 surviving suspects' testimonies, all 3 have pledged allegiance to the Caliphate of Al-Biqqtopiya, the presumed organization behind the attacks. However, McCutcheon, unlike Jibawi and Khalifa, joined in planning the attacks based on his white supremacist beliefs. He was sentenced to death by the electric chair on May 7th.

6 months later, the rubble and debris on campus, cleared off the site, bulldozers sweeping off the last bits of debris, and plans already made for the reconstruction of the damaged buildings. Contractors such as Yelnkida Co. stated they have "blueprints of much bigger and more cost-efficient versions of the Temple Campus Center and the CEC, but has decided to scale the former Fanshaye Stadium down to a smaller capacity."

And families in the area, struggling to find memories beyond the day of the attack.

Ashley Jeter, Class of 2019: It was scary, terrifying, and uh...unprecedented. And to this day, I still have these emotions of shock and awe. Not even awe, but panic.

Vasily Molotov, Applied Foreign Exchange Student: I wanted to go to Bearbay in Aurevbush, for a better future,....but now..I just don't feel safe going there.

Savannah Franklin, mourning mother:(teary) It was all too much for me that day. You see, I never thought my son wanted to be gay until he said he was going to the festival-summit with his friends. And after I told him no, he ran to his room and said I wish I was never raised by people like you. He slammed the door from there. Now that my son went down in the flames, I feel like I wasn't the mom I was supposed to be. And now...I just feel very devastated.

Today, in Bearbay City Hall, mayor Tom Hogan hosted a small ceremony, mourning the young and old, the familar faces, and new ones who just wanted to savor the day. 12:33, the bell tolled, following the solemn moment of silence, then a performance by the Aurevbushan Marine Corps Choir of a famous patriotic hymn known as, "Honor our Homeland." "Though, an event of unity is shattered by a sporadic inferno, Aurevbush shall stand united!"

ARIOSLAVIA WARNS THE WEST ABOUT 'SAUDI CONSPIRACY'

Today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs published documents that have to prove that Saudi Arabia unofficially supports the Caliphate and other radical Islamic groups worldwide. The documents include the secret data collected by the KGB, officially revealed by the President's decree. The evidence - which includes the KGB records of the talks between Saudi military and Caliphate leaders - shows that Saudi Arabia supplied the jihadists with weapons, volunteers and military instructors, even during the 2016 joint international intervention.

LISTEN
Translation:

Abu Bayd (Caliphate commander): So, when will the transport arrive?
General Al-Djadar: Tonight. 250 machine guns.
Abu Bayd: Guns? I need men! You promised us more men, Djadar!
General Al-Djadar: I know, but now it's impossible. You know, in Riyyad they fear that the kafirs realize that... something isn't right. Contact Hamdi, maybe he may do it.
Abu Bayd: Allah's will! But how about those Aurevbushian patrols? Your last transport was destroyed by Manticorans!
General Al-Djadar: Don't worry, I'll persuade the kafirs that the road to Az-Haqqal should be patrolled by Ibn Malik's men. You know him, right? He's our man and the kafirs trust him.
Abu Bayd: Allah's will!

Another documents show that the Saudi royal family financed the muslim cultural centers, radical Islamic preachers and mosques in Europe and North America. This wouldn't be anything shocking, as in most cases it was legal, but the tapes reveal that Saudis treat the European and American mosques as a source of new warriors for the Caliphate.

LISTEN
Translation:

Mohammed Tariq (imam at the Quickenden mosque): Yes, yes. Six convertites. Three Brits, two Estogians, one Aurevbushian. All very pious.
Abbas bin Zahiri (secretary of the Head Mufti): Where will they come?
Mohammed Tariq: Tomorrow they fly to Riyyad from Zelmerlow. But first they wish to go to Mecca.
Abbas bin Zahiri: Allah's will... My men will wait for them there. They will guide them to our brothers in Bigtopia.

The Ministry stated that Arioslavia stops any co-operation with Saudi Arabia, at least until the Saudi government explains its policy to Arioslavia and other Coalition members. When asked by the journalists why Arioslavia spies on Saudis, the Ministry spokesman responded: We knew that it was Saudi Arabia that caused the Bigtopian War in 2012 by supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. We warned the West that among the Bigtopian opposition there are jihadists and that the Brotherhood protests aren't democratic protests, but the Saudi conspiracy. We told them many times that the Saudis use the West as a tool to destabilize the region and create their Pan-Islamic state. In 2012 they ignored it but now they can't pretend they don't see that. The Saudi plans have been revealed and we expect that our Western partners revise their perception of Saudi Arabia as an 'ally'.

Larger Police force in ZQT Cities as sports teams arrive in Britonisea
Zelmerlow, Quickenden, Telm City
20.35 Britonish Mean TIme

According to outlets from Arioslavia, it has come to the attention to the Britonish Police Force that there are 6 people who are aiming to travel from the airport in Zelmerlow, to go to Riyyad. Of which 3 of those are from Britonisea, 2 are from Estogium and 1 is from Aurevbush. It has been suspected that in each of the ZQT's cities airports, there will be an increase of 2,500 police on patrol. "This is a very serious issue," states Police Commissioner Hardy McHenry. "We are making sure that radicalism remains a non-Britonish, and a non-American issue - and through our pursuit to catch the crooked criminals, we will enforce our values; and make sure they will regret their decision to adhere to the evil conspirators who seek dismantling of leading nations - nations who make a positive difference for our peoples."

Despite Britonisea being a largely secular nation, there are still some churches, mosques and synagogues available in each of the cities - though this has been put to debate. Some of the churches, which were previously used to praise the Queen or King of Britonisea in Britonality, are reformed and are now schools, concert halls or homes for people who are the less-able or unemployed. "I would like to see all religious buildings taken down from our skylines to create a truly secular nation" states leader of the Britonish Patriots, Callum Nielson. "It's time to invest in our nation - not religion, which was something enforced on us! However, keep those synagogues, I must say, they're really beautiful. Turn them in to governmental buildings or something..."

The threat has come only days after the first sports teams for the Interregional competition, the US Summer Games, is yet to kick off. It has started in Amazonesta, where 20 nations fight to win their medals - while in Britonisea, Rollersports has already started. Cricket and Rugby are also yet to start, and so it's essential that these airports are kept empty and ready for the mass of tourists who will be traveling to Britonisea.

DxxKD: I do think that we should clamp down on religion, it's sooooo 1500sss
Nielliii: Nah, I think we should keep religion, but I think that politics and religion shouldn't mix.
GeorginaMac: That's the reason why we have this mess in the first place. We can allow these lot to travel to Ryydiak-whatever it's called and they have information about Britonisea that these terrorists may not know!

BREAKING NEWS!
This just in, Londres City Police today received a video from a group calling themselves 'UNKN0WN'. The group, comprising of hackers, sent this video to the LCP.
(distorted voice)
"Hello. We are the UNKN0WN. We hereby declare responsibility for the attack on Londres, past Thursday. We hijacked an petrol tanker, and were able to control it by remote, because of the tankers onboard- parking assist. We drove the tanker directly into the west facing side of the Tanzeratti Museum of Space and Science. The explosion, also destroyed the embassy of Aurevbush."
Not far from the scene, an abandoned car was found, and had a briefcase hidden under the seat, with a text of binary.
