Separately, a monitoring group said at least 35 civilians and four militants were killed by Turkish strikes in the same area. It is not clear whether the two reports relate to the same incident. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said,"operations against terrorist organisations will continue until the end". Turkish tanks and troops backed by Syrian rebels have captured territory from ISIS and clashed with the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), a Kurdish militia supported by the United States, which is itself fighting ISIS.

ReplyDeleteActivists create a beach outside the french embassy in London as part of a protest against the Frances burkina ban. Fifteen French towns have banned the burkini, a full length swimsuit that covers the whole body except for the face, hands and feet. Officials say the ban on the outfit is a response to growing terror concerns. A woman who was wearing a burkini at the beach in Nice, was surrounded by officials and was overseen to remove part of her clothing. Everything from bikinis to burkina, and even priest cloaks, protestors in London built sand castles and signs saying: "Wear what you want.”

ReplyDeleteAfter 15 French towns have banned the burkini, women in London are gathering in protest. The burkini, a swimming piece that covers all of the body but the hands, feet, and face and is often preferred by Muslim women has been banned in a "response to growing terror concerns." Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy claimed that wearing a burkini was provocation. Best selling British author J.K. Rowling responded in a tweet to his claim; "So Sarkozy calls the burkini a 'provocation.' Whether women cover or uncover their bodies, seems we're always, always 'asking for it.'" Activists gathered outside the French Embassy in London on Thursday. Activists wore everything from bikinis to burkas. Jenny Dawkins, a priest of the Church of London, wore her traditional cloaks to the protest. She said that the way Muslim women were "being treated in such a way which is totally unacceptable."
The earthquake that struck central Italy before night on Wednesday flattened entire villages in old ancient towns like Amatrice, but even new constructed buildings that were supposed to be quake-proofed, including a school, were destroyed.

And without jumping to conclusions he see's that also in 2016 many buildings crumbled, public buildings also. "Too many," he said, adding that if anti-seismic standards had been met, buildings might crack but shouldn't collapse.

ReplyDeleteSaturday in Ascoli Piceno, Italy, loved ones began burring the dead from the horrific earthquake. The death toll has since risen to an alarming number, a total of 291 dead so far. A local gym was transformed to a funeral home where as many as 35 coffins were laid out. At the foot of each coffin was a piece of paper with the deceased name on it. Many people gathered to talk about the pain they were feeling. Some even describing what it was like to pull, with their bare hands, friends-family-neighbors, out of the rubble. Only to find their bodies stiff and cold, lifeless. There is still people missing, and the likeliness of them still being found alive is slim to none.

ReplyDeleteOver 300 reindeer killed do to a lighting strike in Norway. As most know reindeer stay lose when a storm in near but it is very unusual for that amount of animals to died in one setting. Researcher aren't sure if there we multiply strikes or what cause this to happen. In Hardangervidda where the accident to place was know for being popular among tourists and hikers, it is also known for its natural beauty. As the seasons change, thousands of reindeer migrate across the plateau, moving between drier lands in the east, where they graze, and wetter lands in the west, where they breed. I don't know how this happened either but, I agree with the reachers it would have had to been multiple strikes or some other innocent.

ReplyDeleteAt Norwegian National Park there was a lightning strike that killed 323 reindeer. The herd of reindeer was known as the largest herd in Norway. Animals are occasionally struck by lightning but no one has ever seen such a large a group of animals killed by lightning. They think that the reindeer were huddled close together when the lighting hit and that's why it killed so many.

After this accident 1/6 of the reindeer are gone, including 70 calves. Reindeer have been killed by lightning before, but not this many.

Due to two magnitude 4.5 earthquakes shaking the country of Iceland early Monday morning, Europe’s largest volcano, Katla is due to erupt in the very near future. The 5,000 foot volcano has been silent since 1918. This has the Icelandic Meteorological Office on high alert. Scientists who study the volcano say that usually Katla erupts every 50 years, so it is beyond overdue.
