In this photo taken on April 8, 2010, Venice's Mayor Giorgio Orsoni is pictured at Ca Farsetti palace in Venice, Italy. Italian authorities Wednesday, June 4, 2014 have arrested the mayor of Venice and 35 others in a sweeping corruption investigation related to the construction of underwater barriers to protect the historic city from flooding. Italian financial police confirmed Mayor Giorgio Orsoni's arrest Wednesday but had no further details. The arrests were the result of a three-year investigation by the financial police that led to the arrest last summer of the head of the consortium building the ambitious but long-delayed system of so-called Moses barriers. Authorities say 20 million euros ($27 million) was diverted abroad for the purpose of bribing politicians. (AP Photo/Luigi Costantini)

This June 6, 1944, file photo shows American soldiers of the Allied Expeditionary Force securing a beachhead during initial landing operations at Normandy, France, June 6, 1944. From the first sketchy German radio broadcast to the distribution of images filmed in color, it has taken decades for the full story of the D-Day invasion to come out. As world leaders and veterans prepare to mark the 70th anniversary of the invasion this week, multiple Twitter hashtags are following the ceremonies minute by minute. At the time, the reporting, filming and taking of photos was neither easy nor straightforward. (AP Photo/Weston Haynes, File)

D-Day narrative started early, and still evolves

Russian President Vladimir Putin heads to speak at a navy parade marking Victory Day in Sevastopol, Crimea in this May 9, 2014 file photo. Angry with the West's response over Ukraine, Russia is moving rapidly to bolster ties with North Korea in a diplomatic nose-thumbing that could complicate the U.S.-led effort to squeeze Pyongyang into giving up its nuclear weapons program. Russia's proactive strategy in Asia- which also involves cozying up to China and had been dubbed "Putin's Pivot" - began years ago as Moscow's answer to Washington's much touted rebalancing of its military forces in the Pacific.
