Michel Philippot brings us on a somber voyage this week, taking us around the world to Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Morocco, Greece… where conflicts and protests reign. When there is no question of a revolt, things turn to the Queen of England who poses for a painted portrait by David Dawson, or 100 million Big-Macs consumed in the UK, meaning 3 per second. The world resembles sometimes a huge fair.

On the occasion of the exhibition u201cThe Queen, Art and Imagesu201d at the National Gallery of Edinburgh (From June 26 through September 18, 2011), six decades of portraits, paintings and photographs on Queen Elizabeth are displayed. Here, in Glasgow, in 1999 the Queen visits a council home and drinks tea with resident Suzan McCarron. Suzan's son is in the background, standing with the building's superintendent. Hearty, isn't it? In France, Giscard d'Estaing had done a similar thing, but would arrive with Madame, a matter of economy without a doubt. Sunday Times Magazine June 5. Photo Dave Cheskin.

The picture is signed DR (Droits reservés, all rights reserved), which is strange, as - the least we can say- the distinguished representative from the State of New York had followed his strangest desires and took pictures of himself. The copyright licensing belongs to him, the image reproduction rights should not be discussed. It seems to be an erected penis, happily envelopped in boxer shorts! I had to enlarge the picture though (thanks to photoshop!). But, what is it in the air of New York? Nocturnal emissions, diurnal emissions? Those of you who are staying in the Big Apple, be careful of the surrounding miasmas. The photo is signed Anthony Weiner, a representativeu2026Libération, 8 juin

"Hello and good-bye for good, the last mission of the space shuttle "Endeavour". A photo taken from a Soyuz capsule. The last shuttle in service is signing off the end of a wonderful dream, those of the 1960's and 1970's that tried to bring men together and our comprehension to go further ... in the universe. The Chicago boys have done their job. No more discoveries, or probably less, but how many more billionaires are willing to pay the price in cash. The research, the need for discoveries cannot be solved with the idea of profits in mind. That's where we are."rnThe Times, June 9.rnPhoto. Paolo Nespoli-ESA/ NASA via Getty.rn
