(CNN) -- Ayat Al-Qassab carefully slipped the beaded satin wedding gown over her small frame. She peered at herself in the rusted mirror and cautiously smiled. For a moment, her war-torn world was transformed and she was a beautiful bride -- free, safe and happy. Boom! A mortar shell exploded somewhere near her Syrian home in Homs, waking her from a daydream. She quickly wrapped a white headscarf tightly around her hair and prepared to leave for her wedding. Only a week earlier, Al-Qassab met her husband-to-be, Mohammad Jumbaz. Their families had coordinated the introduction. He was a pastry chef and part-time fighter for the rebel Free Syrian Army which wants to oust President Bashar al-Assad. She was 18 and from a family who didn't like the al-Assad government.Many Syrians are determined to live their lives despite a war ravaging their nationAyat Al-Qassab and Mohammad Jumbaz survived artillery shelling during their honeymoonTheir marriage is a symbol of the resistance against Bashar al-Assad"We will not surrender, God willing," they say

Oil giant BP has reached an $18.7billion legal settlement in the U.S. to cover the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill that killed 11 workers five years ago. The company said it would settle all federal, state and local claims for the Gulf of Mexico disaster and is the largest settlement with a single entity in American history. The agreement is with federal authorities as well as the states of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. It also covers over 400 local government bodies. The money will be used to resolve the Clean Water Act penalties; resolve natural resources damage claims; settle economic claims; and resolve economic damage claims of local governments, according to an outline filed in court.BP reaches settlement with all federal, state and local claims over oil spillThe $18.7bn deal is largest settlement with single entity in U.S. historyIt includes deals with the states of Texas, Alabama, Florida and LouisianaThe 2010 disaster killed 11 workers and spewed oil into the gulf for months

Washington (CNN) -- It's almost crunch time. The midterm elections are a little less than seven months away. Up for grabs in November's midterms is control of the U.S. Senate, where Democrats hold a 55-45 majority but are defending 21 of the 36 seats up in November, with half of those seats in red or purple states. Democrats need a net gain of 17 seats this November to win back control of the Republican-led House of Representatives, a feat that political handicappers say is unlikely in part because of the shrinking number of competitive congressional districts. And don't forget the battle in the states, where three dozen governorships are at stake. The GOP is defending 22 of the 36 seats up for grabs in November.The midterm elections are just seven months awayObamacare numbers, primaries in a number of states will influence those electionsSummer Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare contraception mandate also closely watchedFundraising figures and jobs numbers will also factor in midterms
