Greece said 'no' to bailout terms
Greece on Sunday delivered a resounding "no" to international creditors' stringent lending terms, a historic vote that jeopardizes European economic unity, sets Greece on a collision course with the region's political leaders and casts the country of 11 million into an uncertain future. After most of the votes were counted, official results from Greece's Interior Ministry projected that 61% of voters rejected the terms.

The Pope is back in South America

Pope Francis, "the pope of the poor," and the first Latin American pope ever, has returned to South America where the large Catholic population is lining up in droves to meet him. He will visit Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay — nations he chose specially because they are among the poorest and most marginal ones of a region that claims 40% of the world's Catholics.

Escaped convict David Sweat is back behind bars
David Sweat, one of two killers who eluded capture for three weeks after escaping a maximum security prison in New York last month, was released from a hospital and returned to prison Sunday, according to authorities. Sweat, who will be placed on suicide watch, fled the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, N.Y., on June 6. He and fellow escapee Richard Matt slipped into the deep forests of northern New York, occasionally breaking into cabins and eluding an intense manhunt by more than 1,000 officers.

Princess Charlotte was christened
Like brother Prince George and countless royal babies before her, Charlotte, the second child of Prince William and Duchess Kate of Cambridge, is now officially named — Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge — and has entered the communion of the Church of England. And even though it was her day, Prince George, as per usual, stole the show with his toddler-age adorableness.
Dave Grohl rocked the Foo Fighters show seated on a throne
Performing for a crowd of nearly 50,000 people in Washington, D.C., Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters played the entire set from a makeshift throne adorned with flashing lights and Foo's logo at the band's 20th anniversary concert. Grohl broke his leg last month on stage in Sweden (and kept playing!), but canceled his subsequent shows in Europe.
