Q: A retiring Centre Court official has defended the decision to ban racing champion Lewis Hamilton from the Royal Box at Wimbledon.

He said: 'Wimbledon is not a beach in Marbella, it's a major tennis tournament.'

But the driver was sent away by officials after turning up in a rather colourful ensemble, which included a bright floral shirt and panama hat.Wimbledon official has defended banning Lewis Hamilton from Royal BoxAlan Chalmers has worked with VIP guests at Centre Court for 40 yearsHe said: 'Wimbledon is not a beach in Marbella, it's a major tournament'Racing driver Hamilton was booted out of the enclosure for not being dressed appropriately - he wore a floral shirt instead of a jacket and tie

Q: Washington (CNN) President Barack Obama has hosted plenty of confrontational foreign leaders at the White House, haggling over military aggression, trade disputes and any other irritant that brings a head of state into the Oval Office. When Obama convened the leaders of the Nordic bloc on Friday, it was not one of those meetings. "This was a very useful and important conversation, although there was probably too much agreement to make for as exciting a multilateral meeting as I sometimes participate in," Obama joked after a 90-minute session with the leaders of Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark Friday. Amid turmoil in the Middle East, cross-border aggression in Eastern Europe, maritime disputes in Asia and restive governments in South America, the northern European nations remain an oasis of liberal cool for a president who has sometimes been described in similar terms.President Obama will host a state dinner to honor five Nordic nationsObama has praised the countries' stability 
 Question:It's no wonder Obama is fond of musing to his aides, "Why can't all countries be like the _ countries?".
