PARIS, June 1, 2006 (AFP)
Riot police had Thursday brought two unruly Paris suburbs back under control after an outbreak of street violence there had raised fears of a repeat of last November's nationwide riots.
Montfermeil and neighbouring Clichy-sous-Bois in the northeast of the capital remained under tight security following two nights of unrest which saw up to 100 youths battle riot police and attack public buildings, injuring a dozen police officers. |

The Sun May 31, 2006 THE Sun yesterday exposed security at Britain's biggest naval base as a shambles after strolling unchallenged on to the bridge of a WARSHIP.
Our reporter walked through two checkpoints at Plymouth's HM Devonport - brandishing a worker's lost photo ID - before spending an hour on board the Navy's 21,578-ton flagship HMS Ocean.

CBC News The World Health Organization issued a warning Wednesday against the use of harmful non-cigarette tobacco products such as water pipes, so-called "organic" cigarettes and snuff.
"Given the high rates of non-cigarette tobacco use among the young, especially girls, previous estimates of 10 million deaths a year by 2020 could be conservative," Dr. Charles Warren, a researcher with the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a statement released by the Geneva-based United Nations organization. |
