France Airport to Reopen Part of Terminal
France’s busiest airport will reopen the undamaged part of a terminal in which the roof collapsed in May, killing four people, the transport minister said Wednesday.
Gilles de Robien said a segment of the three-building 2E terminal at Charles de Gaulle airport would return to service on July 15.
“We can open the terminal that didn’t give way,” he told France-Info radio.
In the May 23 disaster, falling glass, steel and masonry killed four travelers two Chinese, one Czech and one Lebanese. Three others were injured
Paris Flocks To See 'Fahrenheit'
France’s passion for cinema and the collective antipathy for U.S. President George W. Bush made Wednesday’s opening here of “Fahrenheit 9/11” a headline event that quickly proved a boon at the box office.
But, alas, even Michael Moore could not escape that critical Gallic eye.
The movie that won its cinematic stripes at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in May, taking the Golden Palm, the highest award, wracked up “extraordinary” ticket sales for its first afternoon showings in Paris, according to an official at the MK2 movie chain.
It stole the headlines in several French papers. Elevating the movie to an event, the left-leaning Liberation left the praiseful commentary to its nationally known executive editor.
France stands firm on scarf ban
Speaking on Radio France Inter, Francois Fillon said the state would be ready to expel any girl who wore a headscarf to a state school.
“I will personally ensure that there are no exceptions, the Republic will stand firm,” Mr Fillon said.
He urged leaders of Muslim groups not to inflame and politicise the issue.
Religious symbols
France’s Muslim groups, who represent some of the country’s estimated five million Muslims, responded angrily when the ban on headscarves and other overt religious symbols in state schools became law in March.
Proponents of the ban on religious insignia in the classroom argue it equally applies to Jewish skullcaps and Christian crucifixes.
Armstrong takes Tour de France lead
Lance Armstrong knows there’s only one place where the leader’s yellow jersey really counts in the Tour de France: at the finish on the Champs-Elysees on July 25.
“We’re not going to sacrifice the team to defend the yellow jersey in the north of France. The time to work and defend begins in the Pyrenees,” Armstrong said Wednesday.
The five-time champion grabbed the yellow jersey Wednesday, leading his U.S. Postal Service squad to victory in a rain-soaked team time trial.
“It really was a special day,” Armstrong said. “I was just smiling on the bike. It was like a dream.”
The 32-year-old Texan shouted instructions to his teammates during the 40-mile ride from Cambrai to Arras.
Why is France opposing UN sanctions with Sudan?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3875277.stm
France says it does not support US plans for international sanctions on Sudan if violence continues in Darfur.
The UN Security Council is debating a US draft resolution imposing sanctions on militias accused of "ethnic cleansing" against non-Arabs. The US also hinted that the sanctions could be extended to the government. Meanwhile, African leaders have urged Khartoum to stop bombing Darfur and say their proposed 300-strong force will have a mandate to protect civilians. US Secretary of State Colin Powell says promises to reign in the pro-government militia, known as the Janjaweed, have not been kept by Khartoum so far. "Only action not words can win the race against death in Darfur," he said.
Fahrenheit 9/11 opens in French theaters today !!!
Today was the official release of F 9/11 in French movie theaters. I went straight to see it of course. I attended the last showing, the 10:15 PM one. The hall was PACKED, something I don’t see often at this time of the day and in the middle of a week in july ! The crowd was rather focused and well-behaved during the movie, with occasional laughters of course, but then, it APPLAUDED at the end ! Something very rare in French theaters ! Last time I witnessed a round of applause in a French theater was 14 years ago at the beginning of T2 – Judgement Day !
This movie rocks ! I hope many Americans go see it, wake up, and get rid of Evil Chimp and his gang of neo-cons thugs ! So our two countries can be friends again !
