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 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, 바카라사이트 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 people...

The ballots from last weekend’s vote have been tallied, and the winner should have been announced yesterday. But there has been no official announcement.

No group has claimed responsibility for the killings, but al-Shabab has beheaded individuals in the past that it accused of spying for the U.S.- and U.N.-backed Somali government. Hardline militants in Somalia give out harsh punishments such as stonings and amputations to people it accuses of crimes. Militants have also banned movies and modern music, saying that those types of entertainment are un-Islamic. Islamic insurgents control much of Mogadishu and 온라인카지노 have been trying to topple the fragile government for three years. Somalia has not had an effective government for 18 years. Relatives and friends say the men have been missing for the last five days. “We suspect they were executed by al-Shabab militants because they had in the past received phone threats accusing them of helping to construct the former Somali parliament premise,” said a resident who spoke on condition of anonymity because of fears for his safety. The al Qaeda-linked militants consider any Somali who works for the fragile government or with the African Union as apostates. “To slaughter a human being as an animal is a flagrant and brutal violation against international law,” said Ahmed Mohamed Ali, the head of a Somali human rights group. “Those behind such remorseless and shocking attacks will be brought to justice one day.” Elsewhere, clashes in central Somalia killed 12 people, mostly combatants, residents said. The fighting pitted al-Shabab rebels...
