France remembers terror attack victims

ing crowd and held hundreds hostage. Ninety people were killed.

Hundreds were wounded; some survivors are disabled for life and many have deep psychological scars.

On November 13, 2015, France “entered a new era of terrorism”, national police chief Eric Morvan said yesterday.

The attacks ushered in nearly two years of a state of emergency, replaced just two weeks ago with a tough law allowing police more powers against suspects.

The state of emergency did not prevent subsequent extremist violence, including a lorry attack on holiday revellers in Nice.

While IS terrorists have been ousted from their Syrian stronghold of Raqqa where the Paris attacks were planned, the French military remains active in the US-led military coalition against IS.

“The threat level obviously remains high,” Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said. HUNDREDS of women, men and children protested against sexual harassment in Hollywood on Sunday armed with signs, catchy slogans and a motivation to take #MeToo beyond the internet and into real life.

The Take Back the Workplace March and the #MeToo Survivors March joined forces near the Dolby Theatre where the Academy Awards take place.

They walked side by side to a rally of rousing speeches from the likes of Harvey Weinstein accuser Lauren Sivan and Oscar-winning producer Cathy Schulman.

Organisers estimated there were about 200 to 300 protesters.

Sivan, a television journalist, said the time was ripe for a reordering of power.

She said: “We want our daughters and sons to be able to go to a workplace and never have to take a meeting with a dude in a bathrobe.” Korean soldiers have shot and wounded a comrade who was crossing a jointly controlled area at the heavily guarded border to defect to South Korea, the South’s military said.

Soldiers from the North have occasionally defected South across the border.

However, it is rare for a North Korean soldier to defect via the Joint Security Area, where guards of the rival Koreas stand facing each other just metres apart, and be shot by fellow North Korean soldiers.

The soldier bolted from a guard post at the northern side of Panmunjom village in the Joint Security Area to the southern side of the village, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.
