MOSCOW — The Telegram encrypted messenger app said Tuesday said it would cooperate with investigators in terror probes when ordered by courts, except in Russia where it is locked in an ongoing battle with authorities. The company founded by Russian Pavel Durov has refused to provide authorities in the country with a way to read its communications and was banned by a Moscow court in April as a result. But in its updated privacy settings, Telegram said it would disclose its users’ data to “the relevant authorities” elsewhere if it receives a court order to do so, although not in Russia. “If Telegram receives a court order that confirms you’re a terror suspect, we may disclose your IP address and phone number to the relevant authorities,” Telegram’s new privacy settings said. “So far, this has never happened. When it does, we will include it in a semiannual transparency report,” the app added. Durov said the new privacy terms were adopted to “comply with new European laws on protecting private data.” But Durov assured his Russian users that Telegram would continue to withhold their data from security services. “In Russia, Telegram is asked to disclose not the phone numbers or IP addresses of terrorists based on a court decision, but access to the messages of all users,” he wrote on his Telegram channel. He added that since Telegram is illegal...

It was withdrawn Wednesday in the Ontario Court of Justice at the request of a prosecutor, according to the Crown attorney’s office and Swanson’s lawyer. “The Crown and I worked together in the best of all parties to resolve the matter,” Swanson attorney Constance Baran-Gerez said. “I am thrilled and excited that the charge has been dropped,” Swanson said. “This never should have happened and our family can move on.” The case stemmed from a June confrontation between Swanson and the ex-wife of her boyfriend and skating partner, Olympic medalist and former world champion pairs skater Lloyd Eisler. Swanson is a 37-year-old former Playboy model who starred in the 1992 film “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Britney: “It’s Sad How Cruel Our World Can Be” 2Britney Spears phoned in to Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show 102.7 KIIS FM on Wednesday to chat about her latest child custody troubles and her new album, “Blackout,” that hit stores this week.

PARIS — Paris authorities are building a permanent security belt around the Eiffel Tower. The renovations seek to protect against terror threats, BBC News reports. The company operating France’s most-visited monument said see-through panels are being set up at the north and south ends of the site. Each panel, made from over 6-centimeter thick armored glass, measures nearly 10 feet high and weighs 1.5 tons. In all, 450 glass panels will compose the two walls north and south of the monument.  Two graphic grids have been erected on the two other sides of the site and 슬롯머신 규칙 bollards against vehicle ramming attacks will be set up all around. French soldiers and police will keep patrolling outside and inside the area, as they have done since the deadly November 2015 attacks in the French capital.  The glass walls being installed allow visitors to admire the views from the nearby Champ-de-Mars gardens to the other side of the Seine River that cuts through Paris.  Bernard Gaudillère, president of the Société d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel, which runs the monument, described the new walls as “rock-solid for absolute security,” the BBC reported.  The renovation, which will also embellish the gardens beneath the tower, is part of a $350 million project announced last year to modernize the 129-year-old tower that has become the most recognized landmark in Paris. Between 6 and 7 million...
