Quick Glance: Security Concerns Prompt Alternatives for France's Olympic Opening Ceremony

France has developed contingency plans for the July 26 Olympics opening ceremony on the river Seine in response to security concerns, as stated by President Emmanuel Macron on Monday.

Heightened security alert due to conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, along with the threat of terrorist attacks, has prompted action by the French government.

Expressing confidence, Macron believes the anticipated Games ceremony with large crowds by the Seine, involving around 160 boats embarking on a 6 km journey, will be a significant achievement.

The leadership of the United States Olympic and Paralympic teams approves of the security arrangements along the Seine for the opening ceremony, according to the team's security head, Nicole Deal.

Quick Glance: Franklin: An Entertaining Historical Series

Benjamin Franklin (Michael Douglas) embarks on a secret mission to France to garner support in the war for independence against the English.

The series, with Michael Douglas in the title role, offers an enjoyable portrayal of America's Founding Fathers, although the plot switches between English and subtitled French.

The interplay of intrigue, deception, and diplomatic negotiations as Franklin tries to secure French support is a central focus of the storyline.

Michael Douglas shines with his magnetic personality as Franklin in this pleasurable yet not entirely gripping series about the events leading to the birth of a nation.

Eiffel Tower: French athlete attempts rope climbing world record: Anouk Garnier climbs a 110m rope to the Eiffel Tower's second floor in just 18 minutes.

bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-68789522

Quick Glance: New Rope Climbing World Record Set at Eiffel Tower by French Athlete

Anouk Garnier surpassed the previous world record in rope climbing on Wednesday morning by ascending over 100 meters to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower.

Equipped with a safety cord, the double obstacle course world champion began her climb in front of dozens of onlookers at one of Paris' most iconic landmarks.

She reached the 100-meter mark after just 18 minutes of climbing, despite the initial estimate of 20 minutes.

Garnier is now considering taking a brief break, given her packed schedule. Apart from returning to obstacle courses, she will be participating in carrying the Olympic flame in Marseille on May 9 before becoming an ambassador for the volunteer program of this year's Paris Olympics.

Quick Glance: Michael Douglas defends farting as Benjamin Franklin

Michael Douglas expresses no remorse for his portrayal of flatulence as a founding father.

In an interview with Sirius XM's The Jess Cagle Show, the Wall Street actor defended the scene in his Apple TV+ series Franklin where his Benjamin Franklin repeatedly breaks wind. Douglas delved into a book about Franklin and used 'Fart Proudly' to counter critics.

Indeed, Franklin penned an essay titled 'Fart Proudly' in 1781, delving into the science of flatulence and proposing ways to turn its odor into a pleasant scent.

The Apple TV+ series, based on A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America by Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff, narrates Franklin's endeavor to persuade the French government to back the American revolution.

lemonde.fr/en/russia/article/2024/04/08/french-foreign-minister-says-dialogue-with-russia-no-longer-in-france-s-interest_6667804_140.html

Quick Glance: French Foreign Minister Terminates Cooperation with Russia in Antiterrorism

Stéphane Séjourné emphasized that the longstanding cooperation with Russia in the fight against terrorism had reached a halt.

Following conflicting reports on a rare phone call regarding the deadly attack on a Moscow concert hall last month, the French Foreign Minister stated on Monday that it was currently not in France's interest to negotiate with Russia.

President Macron criticized Russia's 'bizarre and threatening' tone after a conversation between the French Defense Minister and his Russian counterpart.

Before France can engage in discussions with Russia again, it may be necessary to build trust and improve the military situation in Ukraine to facilitate a renewal of relations, according to Séjourné.

lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/cruel-mum-son-partially-mummified-29017481

Quick Glance: Mother and Son Sentenced for Animal Cruelty

Following the starvation of a French bulldog and severe neglect of another, a mother and her son have been banned from owning animals for a decade.

Gucci was discovered deceased and partially decomposed in a bathtub, weighing a mere 3.5kg - significantly below a healthy dog's average weight.

Experts observed that Gucci and Violet endured harsh conditions, leading to severe dehydration and malnutrition. Both defendants faced penalties and a 10-year prohibition on animal ownership.

In addition to the dogs, a snake and a fish were discovered on the premises and transferred to the RSPCA. Shaw received a 26-week suspended prison sentence, while Wynne was given a three-month suspended sentence. Violet made a full recovery and found a new home.
