At a U-2 concert in Turin, Bono changes lyric to remember the death of 3-year-old Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi

At a U2 concert in Italy, Bono made reference to Aylan Kurdi's drowning by altering the words in the song Pride (In the Name of Love). He changed the lyrics in Pride (In the Name of Love) from: "One man washed up on an empty beach," to "One boy...." And, at one point in the band's set in Turin, a screen showed footage of refugees.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 6 September 2015.

The image of Aylan Kurdi, the drowned Syrian toddler that washed ashore on a Turkish beach this week, has sparked worldwide outrage and has called for governments to do more to help the tens of thousands of refugees.
Aylan's five-year-old brother Galip and his mother Rehan were also drowned as they were headed to the Greek island of Kos in a rubber dinghy.
At the concert in Turin, Bono has told his fans that ‘we must work together’ to find a solution to the refugee crisis. However, the band's frontman has added that he did not have the answer to the ongoing plight of migrants making their way to Europe from the Middle East and Africa.
Quoting Nelson Mandela, he went on to add that - 'it always seems impossible until it is done'.

Rapper Snoop Dogg in trouble at Lamezia Terme airport in Italy

Snoop Dogg, the 43-year-old American rapper, ran into trouble with the Italian police when they prevented him from boarding a plane with over $420,000 in undeclared cash. He was stopped at Lamezia Terme airport and the police have seized half the money and opened an investigation.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 2 August 2015.

As per information, the "Drop it like it`s hot" singer had performed two shows in the south of Italy and was going back to the UK, where he is scheduled to take to stage at the Kendal Calling Festival.
However, in the course of a security check before he boarded his private jet, police saw two bags full of cash – it totaled to $422,000 (384,000 euros).
Under the terms of the European Union, travelers are required to declare any amount over 10,000 euros in cash – this is to counter the threats of money laundering.
Snoop Dogg cooperated with the authorities and four lawyers have been assigned to the case. He will be able to reclaim the rest of his money after paying the necessary fine.
It may be noted that barely a week earlier he had been briefly arrested by police in Sweden on suspicion of using illegal drugs. (Image courtesy wikimediacommons.org)
