(CNN) -- In October 1985, the Formula One circus arrived in South Africa to race at Kayalami. Apartheid -- which had put an end to almost all other sporting events in the country -- didn't deter F1, even if both the Ligier and Renault teams refused to race. Marlboro removed its sponsorship from the McLaren cars of Niki Lauda and Alain Prost, and various governments tried to stop their drivers racing. Sound familiar? Although South Africa during apartheid and Bahrain now are two completely different political situations, you can't help but wonder whether F1 has moved on at all in the last 27 years. The view of Formula One Management's chief Bernie Ecclestone that the elite division of motorsport doesn't do politics seems somewhat out of kilter.

When Manchester United’s traumatic campaign under David Moyes shuddered to its lowest depths last season, there was a theory circulating that the on-field turmoil may have very serious ramifications for the club’s off-field credentials. There was certainly some substance to this suggestion. The sliding share prices - from just under 19p before Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement to hovering around 14p during the darkest moments of Moyes’ reign in February this year - demonstrated concrete proof of that. Without Ferguson holding the reins of power at Old Trafford, questions were asked. He was the club’s most reliable asset, a guarantee of glory. Investors lost confidence.

Romance and flying rarely go together anymore, unless you fall in love 35,000 feet above ground and get engaged in-flight. Alexandra Williams and Arvin Shandiz met on a Delta Air Lines shuttle from New York to Chicago in 2010, CNN affiliate WGN reported. "I was enamored with her from day one and I was like, I'm going to spend the rest of my life with her," Shandiz told the station. "I would joke with her and tell her that when we get engaged, it'll happen on a Delta flight." And that's exactly what happened. On Friday, in the middle of a flight from Chicago's O'Hare International to New York's LaGuardia Airport, Shandiz suddenly addressed a visibly shocked Williams over the plane's intercom (with the airline's permission) as other passengers looked on.

CLICK HERE for all the stats from White Hart Lane. Luckily, Harry Redknapp already has enough happy White Hart Lane memories to last him a lifetime. Because on Sunday, returning to Tottenham, his Queens Park Rangers team were destroyed in a wholly one-sided encounter. It was a day of intriguing sub-plots, Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino’s first home game, Leroy Fer and Mauricio Isla making their QPR debuts, while former coach Les Ferdinand also made his return to White Hart Lane after his summer departure following Tim Sherwood’s sacking — as guest of QPR chairman Tony Fernandes. But the most interesting storyline was Redknapp’s return. There was no fairytale ending though, only misery, as he watched his team — and their new 3-5-2 formation — blown away.

Juliane Koepcke fell more than 3kms after the plane in which she was traveling broke up in midair.

The edited video shows a Planned Parenthood staff member apparently counseling a woman about gender-selective abortion. "I see that you're saying that you want to terminate if it's a girl, so are you just wanting to continue the pregnancy in the meantime?" says a counselor, identified only as Rebecca, in a Planned Parenthood clinic in Austin, Texas. The woman, purported to be in the first trimester of her pregnancy, according to Live Action, says she does not know the gender of her fetus but wants to abort if it turns out to be female.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pro-Taliban cleric Sufi Mohammad has announced he has pulled out of a peace deal in the violence-plagued Swat Valley, saying the government is not serious about implementing Islamic law, or sharia, in the region. Supporters of cleric Sufi Mohammad gather as they march during a peace rally in the Swat Valley. Mohammad brokered the cease-fire in late February between the Pakistani government and his son-in-law, Maulana Fazlullah, who commands the Taliban in Swat Valley. With the deal, the area would come under sharia law, which -- under the Taliban's strict interpretation -- would prevent women from even being seen in public without their husbands or fathers.

Walk them past Fergbuger on the main street of New Zealand's adventure capital of Queenstown, however, and the doubters might quickly turn into believers. Colloquially known as "Ferg's," the burger joint is swollen with customers who spill out every opening hour, happy to wait around an hour at peak times for a feed. And "peak time" describes most of the store's 21-hour day.

China allows no public discussion of the events of June 3-4, 1989, when soldiers backed by tanks and armored personnel carriers fought their way into the heart of Beijing, killing hundreds of unarmed protesters and onlookers. The silence in the mainland about the pivotal event that shocked the world contrasted with boisterous commemorations in Hong Kong. Large crowds gathered Wednesday night in the city's Victoria Park for an annual candlelight vigil to remember the Tiananmen victims, holding candles aloft that turned the vast area into a sea of flickering light.

Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia and Charles Schumer of New York were opposed by all 10 Republicans on the committee and a few Democrats, including committee Chairman Sen. Max Baucus of Montana. Baucus explained that he liked much about the idea of a public option but that he knew a health care bill containing the provision would fail to win enough support in the full Senate to overcome a Republican filibuster.

Israeli troops today demolished the homes of two Palestinians it suspects of the abduction and killing of three teenagers in the occupied West Bank in June, the army said. Troops set charges to destroy the homes of Hussam Kawasme and Amar Abu Aysha in the southern West Bank before dawn and sealed off the home of a third suspect, Marwan Kawasme. Israel accuses Hamas Islamist militants of the abduction and killing of Jewish seminary students Gil-Ad Shaer, Naftali Fraenkel and Eyal Yifrah, who went missing on June 12 and were discovered dead a couple of weeks later in the West Bank.

Shi'te Muslim Iran is so alarmed by Sunni insurgent gains in Iraq that it may be willing to cooperate with Washington in helping Baghdad fight back, a senior Iranian official told Reuters today. The idea is being discussed internally among the Islamic Republic's leadership, the senior Iranian official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity. The official had no word on whether the idea had been raised with any other party. Officials say Iran will send its neighbor advisers and weaponry, although probably not troops, to help its ally and Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki check what Tehran sees as a profound threat to regional stability, officials and analysts say.

The Haqqani Network is aligned with the Taliban and al Qaeda and is considered one of the most significant threats to stability in Afghanistan, security experts say. Associated with Pakistani intelligence, the network is actually a family. Last year, the New York Times called the Haqqani Network "the Sopranos of the Afghanistan War." Friday, the Obama administration said it's going to designate the group a terror organization which would make is possible to freeze any personal assets the network holds in United States banks. Based in Waziristan, a tribal area of Pakistan, they've been an effective fighting force in the region for most of the past 30 years. Their calling card is bold and complex suicide bombings, including high-profile attacks on U.S. and foreign personnel and assassinations of high level people in Kabul and northern Afghanistan, the Institute for the Study of War reports.

(CNN)  -- Alberto Contador will take a 39-second lead into the final stage of the Tour de France after fighting off a determined challenge from Andy Schleck in Saturday's deciding time trial stage. Spain's Contador had an eight-second advantage going into the 52km solo test from Bordeaux to Pauillac and came under pressure from his Luxembourg rival at the early time checks. For some fleeting moments it seemed possible that Schleck could reclaim the yellow jersey, but as he tired, Contador, considered a far superior time triallist, increased his advantage. And at the finish, a relieved and tearful Contador had extended his lead by 31 seconds.

A leading Italian soccer coach has called for stronger action against racism after a top-level match between AC Milan and Roma was suspended Sunday due to abusive chants by supporters. Milan striker Mario Balotelli was targeted by visiting fans throughout the match, and referee Gianluca Rocchi called the game to a halt in the second half to warn the crowd via the public address system. After several minutes' delay, the match continued and ended in a 0-0 draw. Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri later said the official's decision was not strong enough. "In my opinion, there's only one solution to racism in stadium and that's suspend the match," Allegri said on Milan's website.

Mexico City (CNN) -- The United Nations' cultural organization recognized mariachi music Sunday in a move that Mexican authorities hope will help preserve the well-known tradition. The songs -- often played on festive occasions by groups of guitar, violin and trumpet performers wearing traditional clothes or wide-brimmed hats -- are sung throughout Mexico, and have become a key part of regional identity, officials said. "The community and the family hand down musically their knowledge, history and the pleasure of singing to the nature surrounding them. They consider it their own," Mexican officials said in their application to the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO), which added mariachi music to the organization's list of intangible cultural patrimony Sunday.

Yakutat, Alaska (CNN) -- Residents of towns in the Alaska Panhandle have begun picking up plastic bottles, chunks of foam insulation and floating buoys from Japan's 2011 tsunami. "This is urethane spray building foam," Chris Pallister, president of the conservation group Gulf of Alaska Keeper, said as he picked through trash on Montague Island, about 200 miles north of Juneau. "We just never got much of that before. But if you walk up and down this beach, you see big chunks."
