Syrian Prime Minister Defects; US Shooters; Drugs in the Netherlands; UK Bank Money Laundering; Russian LGBT Group Appeals to European Court of Human Rights; Pussy Riot Trial; Curiosity Rover successfully lands on Mars

After taking their respective vacations the Newz of the World duo is back and this week we start with the latest defections and battles in Syria. Then we get into the shootings in the US over the past weeks. Drug dealers are re-appearing on the streets of the Netherlands while a UK bank is accused to laundering money together with Iran. Pussy Riot is on trial and up on Mars there's a new Rover in town and we're very curious about it.
