Offices of RBS, Royal Bank of Scotland, are seen in London, Thursday, June 13, 2013. Bailed-out U.K. lender Royal Bank of Scotland said Wednesday that Stephen Hester will step down as chief executive later this year — a move that creates some uncertainty as the bank prepares to return to the private sector. The board of the bank, which is 81 percent owned by the taxpayer after it was rescued by the U.K. government in 2008, said Hester was unable to make an open-ended commitment to lead the bank back into the private sector after having already served five years. The search for a successor will begin immediately. (AP Photo/Matt Dunham)

Switzerland's Roger Federer celebrates after winning the final against Mikhail Youzhny of Russia at the Gerry Weber Open tennis tournament in Halle Westphalia, Germany, Sunday, June 16, 2013. Roger Federer won his first title of the year, overcoming a sluggish start to beat unseeded Mikhail Youzhny 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-4 at the Gerry Weber Open on Sunday. Returning to grass in his favorite warm-up for Wimbledon, the top-seeded Federer looked lethargic until the middle of the second set, when he started hitting shots with confidence.

Judge Toni Adet Novik, left, gestures at the opening of a corruption trial against Finmeccanica, at the Busto Arsizio court, northern Italy, Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Trial opened Wednesday against the former head of the Italian aerospace and defense giant Finmeccanica accused of corruption in a case involving alleged bribery to win a 560 million euro (670 million dollars) helicopter contract in India. Giuseppe Orsi, who resigned in February, faces charges of fraud and corruption in a case that has both tarnished the international image of the state-controlled company, Italy's second-largest industrial concern, and jeopardized the defense contractor's strategy to expand in India as the nation upgrades its military. Defendants in Italy are not required to appear their own trials and Orsi did not attend the opening session. (AP Photo/Luca Bruno)
