Are pictured in Nice, southern France, Saturday Nov. 7, 2020, during a ceremony in homage to the three victims of an attack at Notre-Dame de Nice Basilica on October 29, 2020. The prosecutors' office said one of the photos showed Abdoullakh Anzorov, the Chechen refugee identified as the killer of teacher Samuel Paty. But investigators have as yet been unable to interview the suspected church attacker, previously identified as Ibrahim Issaoui, because he remains in serious condition in a Paris-region hospital, the prosecutors' office said a statement. The prosecutors' office said it opened a formal investigation Friday on terrorism charges that will enable investigators to keep probing whether the suspected attacker had any accomplices in France, Tunisia or Italy. He traveled through Italy before reaching Nice less than 48 hours before the attack in the Mediterranean city's Notre Dame Basilica.

They “justified the teacher’s assassination by arguing that it was forbidden to offend the prophet and adding that they would kill their teacher if he caricatured the prophet," she said. Paty's killing was followed Oct. 29 by the killing of three people in a knife attack at a church in Nice. Leading a Saturday memorial for the victims in the Mediterranean city, French Prime Minister Jean Castex warned that extremists were recruiting French citizens. The chief suspect, Ibrahim Issaoui, a 21-year-old Tunisian, is in a French hospital after being wounded by police as they arrested him. The priest was shot twice in the abdomen with a hunting rifle as he was closing his church.

PARIS – As a French-born Muslim, Elyazid Benferhat’s stomach turned when he heard about a deadly Islamic extremist attack on a church in Nice. Parishioners at the 13th-century church in the southern town of Lodeve were deeply touched. Benferhat, speaking with a distinctive southern French accent, identified himself as “more French than anything.” While his mother was born in Algeria, he was born in France and grew up speaking only French. “But I am also Muslim ... and we have seen Islamophobia in this country, and terrorism,” he told The Associated Press. We said, we will protect churches ourselves.”They recruited volunteers among their friends and at his football club, and guarded the church that night and again for Sunday Mass.

France heightened its security alert amid religious and geopolitical tensions around cartoons mocking the Muslim prophet. They took place amid global tensions around cartoons published by a French newspaper mocking the Prophet Muhammad, which deeply offend Muslims. French imams and other Muslims were among the many who denounced the Nice attack as having nothing to do with their faith, and called for calm. Five other people were also in custody Sunday after being detained in Nice and the nearby town of Grasse, the official said. Tunisian and French authorities are investigating whether the claim is legitimate.

The family of Ibrahim Issaoui expressed shock after he attacked a church in Nice and killed three people in what French and Tunisian authorities are investigating as a terrorist attack. A previously unknown Tunisian extremist group claimed responsibility for the attack, and Tunisian and French authorities are investigating whether the claim is legitimate. “We want the truth about how my son carried out this terrorist attack. He had had small-time run-ins with the law as a teen, but nothing that alerted Tunisian authorities to possible extremist leanings. “Obviously, we give precedence to people who are signaled by law enforcement or by Tunisian authorities,’’ Lamorgese said.

Organizers announced that Prudhomme tested positive after taking a COVID-19 test, without providing further details. (AP Photo/Christophe Ena, File)The 166 remaining Tour de France riders have been cleared to continue racing ahead of Tuesdays Stage 10 after undergoing COVID-19 tests, but the race director is going home. Tour organizers said that all the riders tests returned negative but announced that race director Christian Prudhomme tested positive along with four staff members from four different teams who have been dropped from the race bubble. Organizers said 841 tests were performed over the past two days on riders and team members, with most of the riders tested during the first rest day on Monday. To avoid false positive results that could rule healthy riders out of contention, Tour organizers perform a retest and a blood analysis as quickly as possible in case of a positive test.

The prominent British human rights lawyer is convening an independent tribunal in London with public hearings next year, to look into the Chinese government's alleged rights abuses against the Uighur Muslim minority in the far western province of Xinjiang. The tribunal is expected to reveal new evidence and testimony over several days hearings next year. Allegations against China about potential genocide are questions that should be asked and answered but such claims have never been legally scrutinized in public, Nice told The Associated Press. At the moment, the strongest evidence would appear to be evidence of incarceration and possibly evidence of enforced sterilization, Nice said. The World Uighur Congress, an international organization representing Uighur exiles, has provided initial evidence and funding to the London tribunal.

Australia's Caleb Ewan celebrates as he crosses the finish line to win the third stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 198 kilometers (123 miles), with start in Nice and finish in Sisteron, southern France, Monday, Aug. 31, 2020. (Benoit Tessier, Pool via AP)SISTERON Australian rider Caleb Ewan slalomed through the bunch to win a sprint finish and claim the third stage of the Tour de France on Monday. Julian Alaphilippe held onto the yellow jersey that he claimed with a dramatic stage victory a day earlier. With about 100 meters to go, Ewan trailed five other riders before slinging himself through a narrow slice of road near the advertising barriers, then darted to the left to overcome Sam Bennett and claim his fourth career stage win in the Tour. Ewan, who rides for the Lotto-Soudal team, won three stages last year, including the coveted final leg on the Champs-lyses.

And yet, despite all this, the opening weekend of the Tour still set hearts racing, with dramatic spills on the rain-slickened opening day followed by Alaphilippe's poignant win. Yet the show, for now at least, is most definitely on with Alaphilippe back in the race leader's iconic yellow jersey, once again showing the way. I will defend it with honor.The stage win was his fifth in four Tours. With teammate Bob Jungels leading the way on the final climb, up to the Quatre Chemins pass on the outskirts of Nice, Alaphilippe first positioned himself in his slipstream. The yellow jersey is the icing on the cake.Afterward, slumped by the roadside, he burst into tears.

The Tour de France sets off Saturday Aug. 29, shrouded in uncertainty in the face of the coronavirus pandemic and mounting infections in France. Following guidelines issued by the health authorities, the move was announced Saturday by Tour organizers just a few hours before the start of the three-week race's opening stage in the Riviera city of Nice. From two positive cases in a group of 30, there is a real risk of elimination of a team, Tour director Christian Prudhomme told France Info radio. This week, four staff members of the Belgian team Lotto-Soudal were sent home after non-negative coronavirus tests. The measure is aimed at avoiding false positive tests that could rule out healthy riders.

Stuart C. Wilson/Getty Images(CNN) - This week's British Airways strike has caused chaos for an estimated 280,000 passengers who were due to fly with the airline. All eight daily easyJet flights from Nice to London were sold out on Monday and Tuesday, the British Airways strike days. British Airways is selling return fares to Nice on other dates in September for 58 -- making this week's flights nearly 22 times as expensive. Ironically, the flight is sold as a British Airways flight, but operated by Air Belgium, so it is exempt from the strike action. A two-night trip to Tokyo, departing Monday, cost 2,704 ($3,341), going out on Japan Airlines in premium economy (economy was sold out) and returning Wednesday in economy on British Airways.

The environmental footprint of a private jet is also much greater than that of a commercial plane. "Private jets are similar to commercial jets except they fly with less people, so therefore the footprint (per person) is much higher," Gilliam explained. "Private jets consume 10 times more per person than commercial jets," she said. To maintain a high level of much-needed protection, we provided them with a private jet flight," he posted on Twitter. "You expect them to travel private, but that clashes with their mission to help save the planet," Fitzwilliam told CNN.
