4 Jul 11-12, NATO: Agreement is expected on Atlantic security initiatives – reflecting worries over Russia’s increased military presence – at NATO’s first summit in its new glass and steel palace in Brussels, but spats with the U.S. over defence spending and trade might again sour the discourse

the classic Beetles rolled off the production line on July 30, 2003

7 Jul 10, UK: The original illustrated map of The Hundred Acre Wood, which featured in A.A. Milne’s much loved book Winnie-the-Pooh, is expected to sell for up to £150,000 at auction in

8 Jul 16-22, UK: An uptick in the global economy gives aerospace manufacturers at the Farnborough International Airshow reason to hope for a record year, optimism an irked Russia can’t share: it won’t be allowed to exhibit a major money spinner – military hardware
