The French parliament has begun a potentially divisive debate over controversial changes to the country’s labour laws. Protesters and riot police are out in force across the French capital. #LoiTravail (Myriam El Khomri, 2016) vs WEEK-END (Jean-Luc Godard, 1967) pic.twitter.com/wyqRSmz3Gs— the thing (@YannBreheret) May 3, 2016 The face-off comes as the deeply unpopular president Francois Hollande attempts to loosen France’s extensive and protective labour regulations. One protester gave her opinion:“They brought the bill to the National Assembly, they act like there were is more debate in the street, but we think it concerns us, it’s our future and our present, so we want the project to be binned and we’re here to say it.” The government has argued it needs to cut red tape, however opponents see the bill as pro-business, which betrays the values of the left. William Audoux is from the CGT union: “The questioning of the hierarchy of labour standards, making lay-offs easier, the lower salaries, overtime paid three years later… It’s a law of social regression like we’ve never known before so we’ll keep demonstrating.” Myriam El Khomri, vent debout #abonnés https://t.co/YaZ5tpUTxY par nicolaschapuis pic.twitter.com/B4RZk1P4us— Le Monde (lemondefr) May 3, 2016 The Socialist labour minister, Myriam El Khomri is at the centre of the storm, not only from the impassioned street protests, but also the serious split within the ruling Socialist party.

Polls are open in the second round of voting in Austria’s presidential election. The ballot could herald the election of the European Union’s first far-right head of state. Norbert Hofer, of the Freedom Party polled 35 percent of the vote in the first round, well short of a majority, but enough to send a shudder through Europe as far-right parties gain ground in a number of EU member states.

The day France has been preparing for since May 2010 has finally arrived. Euro 2016 kicks off in Paris tonight (June 10) with France VS Romania the match opening a month of football fever. France has extended its state of emergency – in place since November’s deadly Paris attacks – to cover the duration of the Euros. Thousands of extra police officers are patrolling the streets and stadia and a free concert held in the capital on Thursday night (June 9) passed without notable incident. Nonetheless, fears remain about the safety of the competition. In the past weeks, France has faced crippling strikes, floods and, most recently, the threat of violent football fans. BREAKING: According to reports, England fans have clashed with French fans in Marseille, causing Police dogs, tear gas and havoc.— From The Stands (@FromTStands) June 9, 2016 Injuries were reported after several dozen England supporters clashed with local youths in Marseille ahead of their tie against Russia on Saturday.

Huge domestic bombing campaign foiled – Iran Planned for Ramadan ISIL is “Iran’s number one enemy” What is happening? Iran says it has foiled “one of the largest jihadist terrorist plots ever planned on its territory.” Quoted by the semi-official Isna press agency, National Security Council secretary Ali Shamkhani is quoted as saying that Iranian security forces have arrested members of a network that was planning suicide bombings in Tehran during Ramadan. He described it as a “major plot by Sunni Muslim militants against the Shi’ite Islamic Republic” and described ISIL as “Iran’s number one enemy”. Is security a problem in Iran? Not for the general public, analysts say. Large cities are generally safe from attacks from organisations like ISIL. However, the country’s security forces are often targeted by jihadist militants or Kurdish fighters near the borders with Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three soldiers and one police officer have died in border attacks over the last two weeks. 22 militants have been killed. Sunni vs Chi’ite Ultraradical Sunni organisations like ISIL consider the Shi’ite Muslim community as heretics. Iran is a predominantly Shi’ite country. What they are saying Iran foils ‘terrorist’ bomb plots across country; several arrests made, large quantities of explosives seized https://t.co/aNBTLuKz2O— Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) June 20, 2016 “A series of bomb attacks planned for the coming weeks in several places in the country, mainly in Tehran, has been foiled,” – Security Ministry statement.   Less

This is the moment the most notorious alleged gangland mobsters Zakhariy Kalashov, is arrested with his army of bodyguards and a cache of weapons at his luxury Moscow mansion. Zakhariy Kalashov, nicknamed 'gangland Lord' because of his underworld notoriety, was snared by a Federal Security Service (FSB) raid on his sprawling 20million $ estate - where police discovered a stash of weapons including handguns and grenades. The alleged mob boss was filmed in his kitchen accusing law enforcement officers of putting on a 'show'. Meanwhile, his bodyguards were forced to lie face down on the ground outside the house during the FSB raid. 'I will say nothing to the camera,' insisted the 66-year-old as he sat surrounded by officers in his kitchen. He continued his stubborn silence when asked by agents whether or not he was a mafia boss.'Take away the camera and I will talk to you,' he said. 'Is it a show here?' An agent assured him: 'It is not a show. We are not gangsters... It is an official procedure.' The arrest follows a December 2015 shoot-out in a Moscow restaurant, in which two were killed. He is accused of extortion linked to the violence. Kalashov, also known as Shakro the Young has up to 23 different pseudonyms. He became widely regarded as the new leader of the Russian underworld after the 2013 sniper shooting of then-mafia king Aslan Usoyan. There are claims Kalashov has close ties to senior figures in the Interior Ministry and police, and that the FSB action is part of a battle for supremacy among President Putin's warring law enforcement services. The arrest follows a chain of raids on mafia operations in Russia. Major General Denis Nikandrov, deputy head of the 'Russian FBI', was suspected of promising to to free Kalashov free Shakro for a bribe of 760,000 $. Two other key law enforcement officials have also been detained, including Mikhail Maksimenko, head of the committee's internal security division. It is claimed he ordered aides to 'forget' to re-arrest Kalashov. Maksimenko and his deputy Alexander Lamonov are being probed 'for exceeding their authority and for receiving bribes from the criminal community'. A lawyer for Mr Lamonov said that the detained men denied doing anything wrong. Kalashov was previously jailed for eight years in Spain for money laundering and masterminding criminal organisations. This followed an operation called Red Marble against ex-Soviet criminal gangs operating in the country. On his return from Spain in 2014, he was allegedly met by senior Russian law enforcement officials at Domodedovo airport in Moscow, followed by talks. 'Immediately after the meeting, Kalashov went home and celebrations began to mark the return of the "godfather",' reported one account. According to Ukrainian website Glavred, Kalashov 'is not just a general but a generalissimo, a real Lord of the gangland' - with a mafia empire that even allegedly includes senior law enforcement officials. He has also been sentenced in absentia to 18 years in prison for murder in ex-Soviet republic Georgia - with the capital Tbilisi calling for his extradition.   Less

These are the types of people to find a needle in a haystack of stories. Governments have a duty of care to THEIR electorates, every new policy must have a risk vs benefit basis. If the risks far outweigh the benefit, the electorate Trumps all. The left holds Multiculturalism and diluting majorities above all else. It is their Holy Grail. No matter how many attacks, they will invent new appeasement slogans and hashtags. New York, the home of the largest attack, now forces public schools to close for 2 muslim festivals/holidays..

They are said to be associates of Abu Nassim, a Tunisian who lived in Italy in his youth but who after fighting in Afghanistan and Syrian has since became an ISIL commander in Libya. Italian security services are already on a state of high alert for the peak holiday season and Interior Minister Angelino Alfano has stepped up expulsions of suspected extremist sympathizers. Italy is also concerned that ISIL militants fleeing in the fighting in Sirte will try to pass themselves off as refugees and attempt to get to Europe in smugglers’ boats and cross the Mediterranean to the nearest enrty point which is Italy.

Planes have completed an aerial spraying for mosquitoes carrying Zika in Miami, despite protests over the insecticide’s possible harmful effects. The spraying was delayed for 24 hours after local protests. Experts say there is no reason for concern over the effects on human health or the environment. The issue has divided the local community. “I’m in favour of the aerial spraying. I think it’s a wonderful thing our government and the city officials are taking in action. It’s my understanding that the chemicals that are being used are in small concentrations and are not harmful to humans,” local resident: David Kaplan told reporters. “We are concerned that the naled actually has more of a potential risk of creating the problems we are trying to avert than the actual concern with Zika,” explained protester Brik Viera. Florida has seen 56 local transmissions of the zika virus which can cause neurological abnormalities in unborn babies.   Less

A crucial vote The political future of Germany’s vice chancellor may hinge on the outcome of a vote next week by his Social Democrats (SPD) over whether to back a trade deal between the EU and Canada. SPD leader Sigmar Gabriel has championed the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) as part of his remit as economy minister. His centre-left party is understood to be keen to prove its business credentials. SPD-Parteikonvent: Tag der Wahrheit für Gabriel und den Freihandel https://t.co/ji7avpfZhQ via welt— WELT Wirtschaft (WELT_Economy) September 17, 2016 CETA vs TTIP Sigmar Gabriel ruffled feathers last month when he said talks on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) had “de facto” failed. However, he views CETA, due to be signed by Brussels and Ottawa next month prior to full ratification by EU member states’ parliaments, as a chance for the West to set new standards for trade deals and act as a counter-weight to China’s economic might. What do the critics say? They are sceptical about the benefits of both deals. Some think it would give multinational companies greater access to European markets without creating jobs. Vote due on Monday Delegates at Monday’s SPD convention will vote on the CETA accord. A failure to win a majority in favour could scupper Gabriel’s chances of standing as the party’s candidate for chancellor in national elections next year. Analysts say it could also unleash a dangerous power struggle within the party. The SPD is the junior partner in the coalition government led by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives. The politics Analysts say rejecting the CETA could further upset the balance within the coalition. Merkel is looking to the SPD to counter a growing rift between her CDU party and its conservative CSU allies in Bavaria over her refugee policy. They say a majority SPD vote in favour of CETA would give Gabriel a much-needed shot-in-the-arm. Protests crank up the pressure Opponents of CETA and TTIP organised demonstrations against both agreements in seven cities across Germany on Saturday. The organisers expected more than 250,000 to attend.
