00:26the US-Russian ceasefire agreement that took effect on September 12. The incident, in which

00:49wounded in a police shootout, with detonating and planting bombs in New York and New Jersey.

01:42the pair has much at stake. The pair became a couple in 2004 but married two years ago,
01:49which could further complicate the divorce that Jolie-Pitt filed for on Monday and put
01:55the future of all they have shared in the hands of teams of lawyers and accountants.
02:00Forbes magazine estimates the pair earned a combined $555 million since their relationship
02:08began.
