Sculptor Eric Saint Chaffray had never seen Obama in person. “The main difficulty is making it without meeting him, from press photos,” he said as the statue was unveiled today. The hot summer sun at the Eiffel Tower threatened to melt the fake president’s face, prompting helpers to shade him with an umbrella,

Pakistan court rejects Sarabjit’s death sentence appeal
Pakistan’s Supreme Court dismissed on Wednesday an appeal by Sarabjit Singh, an Indian man seeking a review of a death sentence imposed on him for spying and carrying out bombings in the 1990s.
The rejection came as relations between old rivals India and Pakistan inched towards improvement following a meeting last week between their leaders, the first since last year’s militant attack on Mumbai in which 166 people were killed.

Pakistani officials said Singh was arrested while trying to slip back into India after the bomb blasts
