A television personality becoming leader of a country? That's preposterous.

Oliver has a new option for Italian people. He consulted "half a dozen" Italian legal experts who told him that he can't run for Italian prime minister but equally "admitted" that the Italian constitution does not specifically prohibit a non-politician, or even a non-citizen from running. So he's doing it anyway. "Yes Italy, my candidacy for prime minister may be a complete and total farce," proclaimed Oliver in front of a huge and perfectly satirical toy volcano.

By Ori Lewis JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Church leaders in Jerusalem shut the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Sunday in protest at a new Israeli tax policy and a proposed land expropriation law which they called an unprecedented attack on Christians in the Holy Land. Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Armenian church leaders said the holy site, a popular stop for pilgrims and where many Christians believe Jesus was crucified and buried, would remain closed until further notice. After the protest move, an Israeli cabinet committee delayed by a week its scheduled consideration on Sunday of a bill that would allow the state to expropriate land in Jerusalem sold by churches to private real estate firms in recent years. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2owI4zb via IFTTT
