<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom may have hit the carpet separately at Monday night's Met Gala, but they still managed to find a way to flaunt their new relationship at fashion's biggest night of the year.<br />Their common connection? Tamagotchi pets dangling from their Prada ensembles. Yes, Tamagotchis — those digital pets which many a Millennial owned (and killed, probably) that live in the egg-shaped device dangling from a key ring.<br />The decision to sport the toy — er, pet — was likely a nod to the gala's theme: "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology."<br />The matchy-move is the first major public declaration of the couple's budding relationship. Because nothing says "official" like the mutual commitment to tiny digital animals.<br />One thing's for sure, however: Those Tamagotchis definitely have the coolest parents in town.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's armed forces stormed the center of Ramadi on Tuesday, a spokesman for the counter-terrorism units said, in a drive to dislodge Islamic State militants from their remaining stronghold in a city they captured in May.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The operation to recapture Ramadi, a Sunni Muslim city on the river Euphrates some 100 km (60 miles) west of Baghdad, began in early November after a months-long effort to cut off supply lines to the city, whose fall to Islamic State was a major defeat for Iraq's weak central government.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Progress has been slow because the government wants to rely entirely on its own troops and not use Shi'ite militias in order to avoid rights abuses such as occurred after the recapture of the city of Tikrit from the militants in April.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
U.S. officials have also cautioned against the use of Iran-backed Shi'ite militias in retaking Ramadi from the hardline Sunni militants to avoid fanning sectarian tensions</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Baghdad government has said it also wanted to spare civilians and give them the opportunity to leave the city.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Our forces are advancing toward the government complex in the center of Ramadi," the counter-terrorism units' spokesman Sabah al-Numani said. "The fighting is in the neighborhoods around the complex, with support from the air force."Iraqi intelligence estimates the number of Islamic State fighters entrenched in the center of Ramadi, capital of Western Anbar province, at between 250 and 300.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
DAWN OFFENSIVE</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The offensive to capture the city center started at dawn, said Numani. Military units crossed the Euphrates river into the central districts using a bridge that was destroyed by the militants and repaired by army engineers, he said."Crossing the river was the main difficulty," he said. "We're facing sniper fire and suicide bombers who are trying to slow our advance, we're dealing with them with air force support."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If the attack to capture Ramadi succeeds, it will be the second major city after Tikrit to be retaken from Islamic State in Iraq.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Islamic State also controls Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, and Falluja, which lies between Ramadi and Baghdad. Retaking Ramadi would provide a major psychological boost to Iraqi security forces after Islamic State seized a third of Iraq, a major OPEC oil producer and U.S ally, last year.</div>

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said that based on its available data, no tsunami was expected.<br />
<br />
The USGS said the quake was unlikely to cause casualties and notable damage, and there were no immediate reports of such.<br />
<br />
The area near the quake, centered some 400 miles (643 km) southwest of Anchorage, is lightly populated, according to the USGS.

Iran, North Korea forging ballistic, nuclear ties: dissidents

<br />
<br />
An exiled Iranian opposition group said on Thursday a delegation of North Korean experts in nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles visited a military site near Tehran in April amid talks between world powers and Iran over its nuclear program.<br />
<br />
The dissident National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) exposed Iran's uranium enrichment plant at Natanz and a heavy water facility at Arak in 2002. But analysts say it has a mixed track record and a clear political agenda. Iran says allegations of nuclear bomb research are baseless and forged by its enemies.<br />
<br />
Iran and six world powers are trying to meet a self-imposed June 30 deadline to reach a comprehensive deal, but issues remain including the monitoring and verification measures to ensure Iran could not pursue a clandestine nuclear weapons program.<br />
<br />
Citing information from sources inside Iran, including within Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps, the Paris-based NCRI said the seven person North Korean Defence Ministry team were in Iran for the last week of April. It was the third time in 2015 that North Koreans had been to Iran and a nine person delegation was due to return in June, it said.<br />
<br />
"The delegates included nuclear experts, nuclear warhead experts and experts in various elements of ballistic missiles including guidance systems," NCRI said.<br />
<br />
There have previously been unconfirmed reports of ties between the two countries on ballistic missile cooperation, although nothing specific in the nuclear field.<br />
<br />
The U.N. Panel of Experts that monitors compliance with sanctions on North Korea has reported in the past that Pyongyang and Tehran were regularly exchanging ballistic missile technology in violation of U.N. sanctions.<br />
<br />
The NCRI said the North Korean delegation was taken secretly to the Imam Khomenei complex, a site controlled by the Defence Ministry, east of Tehran. It gave detailed accounts of locations and who the officials met.<br />
<br />
It said the delegation dealt with the Centre for Research and Design of New Aerospace Technology, a unit of nuclear weaponization research and planning center called the Organisation of Defensive Innovation and Research (SPND), which is under United States sanctions. NCRI said the unit researches and manufactures interior parts of nuclear warheads.<br />
<br />
Reuters could not independently verify the allegations.<br />
<br />
"Tehran has shown no interest in giving up its drive to nuclear weapons. The weaponization program is continuing and they have not slowed down the process," NCRI spokesman Shahin Gobadi said.<br />
<br />
