Cosmopolitan magazine has responded to accusations of racism in a

feature called 21 Beauty Trends that need to Die in 2015.


The article compares "looks" that need to "R.I.P" with looks that are
"Gorgeous".
White women appeared in every single one of the 21 "Gorgeous" looks,
except one picture which featured Nicole Ritchie, who is bi-racial.
In one fifth of the looks that needed to die, however, women of AfricanAmerican descent appeared.
Since being published in January, the article has been shared online
more than 90,000 times and drawn the ire of the online community.
LONDON: Britain spied for several years on the Argentine government over fears of a fresh
attempt to retake the Falkland Islands, documents released by American whistle-blower
Edward Snowden have claimed.
Snowden said British agents were actively spying on Argentina between 2006 and 2011.
Britain was concerned that Argentina could launch another attempt to reclaim the Falkland
Islands, according to reports in the Argentine media.
The two nations fought a war over the islands in 1982. The former CIA worker, who now
lives in Russia, has previously leaked sensitive information about US surveillance
programmes. He is now fugitive from his native country after leaking the sensitive
information.
There has not been any formal response yet from either the British or Argentine government
to the allegations, which have been published by a number of South American news
agencies.
The claims are that Britain began a large scale operation which may have involved
implanting computer viruses, circulating false propaganda and collecting intelligence with
the aim of diminishing or discrediting the Argentine government, BBC reported.
The news comes around the 33rd anniversary of the start of the war, which saw more than
900 servicemen killed.

UK defence secretary Michael Fallon said last month that Britain will spend 280 million
pounds over the next 10 years on renewing and beefing up its defences of the Falkland
Islands, to taking into account any future and possible threats to the islands.
