Minors in France will no longer be automatically barred from watching films containing real, non-simulated sex scenes, according to a report, as the Ministry of Culture is set to liberalize domestic laws on film classifications.

France's Minister of Culture Audrey Azoulay will issue a decree softening the criteria for banning films to those aged under 18 as soon as next month, BFM TV reports.

Until now, a decree dating from 2003 stipulates that films "with non-simulated or very violent sex scenes" must be banned for children under 18 years of age. It means that any film covered by the description must be automatically prohibited to minors.

"To ban children under 18 from watching films is nonsense," Joel Chapron, UniFrance head of research and distributor relations, and Cannes Film Festival consultant, told RT.

"Society has long surpassed cinema. If people younger than 18 are making love in real life, don't they have a right to watch a similar movie in the cinema? It's double-dealing, insincerity, hypocrisy."

When child prodigy Candace Hiltz was found murdered in her home on August 15^th, 2006, her family immediately called the Fremont County Sherriff's Office. When investigators arrived, they conducted what the family believed was a shoddy investigation, leaving key pieces of evidence behind. Police, however, believed they'd identified their prime suspect, Candace's brother James. James was mentally ill, lived in the woods by himself, and often came to the house for food.

But Delores Hiltz says the police failed to do their jobs and remove key pieces of evidence from the home which indicated there was more than one person involved. The family, who had no real training in crime scene investigative work, decided to gather the evidence on their own and submit it to the police. One of the things they found, while going through the home, was an empty shotgun shell, found in Candace's daughter's crib. They also located rope and an ax that they said someone had used to kill their dog, just days before Candace was killed.

They family also found, away from the home, bloody towels they believed the attackers used to wipe off Candace's blood. The DNA on the towels didn't match any of the family members according to Delores. Also, a bloody blanket which was used to wrap Candace was also gathered. After she had gathered all the evidence they could find, she called the FCSO and asked that they come get it. They did. And that was the last Delores saw of the evidence she says proves more than one person was involved in her daughter's killing.

A 2-year-old mixed-breed dog named Jack was in the care Wednesday night of the Red Paw Emergency Relief Team, which provides assistance for pets whose families have been displaced. Jack's family is out of their West Philadelphia home after a fire started early Wednesday morning. The Lomax family might never have known, might never have survived, if it wasn't for Jack.

"It was about 3:30 in the morning. OK, I was getting ready to go to sleep, and I heard this loud screaming in the house, saying, 'Get up, get up. Get up, get up. Everybody get out,' " said Aubrey Lomax Jr., homeowner.

The now scorched second-floor bedroom is where the fire started - the damage extensive. Jack was in a bedroom with Lomax's sleeping 2-year-old granddaughter, Autumn, and her mother, Ashley DePasquale. It was Ashley who was screaming for everyone to wake up. She told Action News by phone how Jack woke her, alerting her to the flames coming from the wall.

"I was laying down and he started getting really antsy, and he was just like not having me laying down, he was trying to warn me. The bed caught on fire and I had to run out to get help with my daughter still in the room, and the dog was on the bed protecting my daughter from the flames," said Ashley DePasquale, fire victim.

Ashley's screams woke the four other adults and two more children, ages 6 and 9, allowing them all to escape safely. "Because he did that they were able to get everybody out of the house and call the fire department, so he saved their lives and helped stop the spread of the fire," said Jen Leary, Red Paw Emergency Relief Team.

The Lomaxs always knew Jack was special. He's particularly attached to little Autumn. Now, he's their hero. "Jack is our hero," said Lomax. DePasquale agrees. "Yes, I would. He knew something was up," said DePasquale.

One cat was also rescued by the Red Paw Relief Team. Unfortunately, a second pet cat did not survive. The Lomax family does not have insurance, so they are trying to figure out how they will rebuild and be able to bring Jack home.

King's College London is warning staff and students their computer activity could be monitored as part of the British government's counter-radicalization strategy, Prevent.

The prestigious university, home to one of the world's foremost centers for radicalization studies, published a notice on its email login section warning users that by accessing the page they consented to "monitoring."

Middle East Eye reports the message also cautions users they must not "download, store, or transmit unlawful material, or material that is indecent, offensive, defamatory, threatening, discriminatory or extremist."

The website cites a screenshot of a login page which tells users: "King's has a statutory duty, under the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015, termed 'PREVENT'. The purpose of this duty is to aid the process of preventing people being drawn into terrorism."

One man's righteous citizen is another man's rat. Finnish police seem to hover around the danger line by urging children to snitch on parents who criticize politicians using social media.

In their newest campaign to raise awareness and engage Finnish citizens through social media, Finnish police have launched a YouTube channel providing information and advice. By the Finnish police's own admission, the idea is to reach children and young people in particular by providing relevant information and facilitating communication with police officers as a preventive measure.

Whereas the first video on "PoliceTube" focused on the problem of hate speech, making it clear that it did not constitute bad manners, but rather a full-fledged crime, its sequel was even more controversial.

Using the catchy "Police Lion" mascot (which happens to be an allusion to Finland's coat of arms), Finnish children are taught to snitch on their parents for decrying politicians using social media.

It turns out Barack Obama does believe in building protective walls — for himself.

Photos were published on Wednesday showing crews erecting brick pillars and fencing around the Northwest DC property the soon-to-be former First Family will inhabit for the next two years.


One photo shows a six-foot wall of bricks and fence with an opening for the driveway.

A California woman is charged on one count of kidnapping after she attempted to abduct a young girl from her grandfather at the Ashford Park in Auburn.

Lindsay Frasher, 28, reportedly approached the 3-year-old girl near the duck pond inside the park, where she referred to the child by a made-up first name and proceeded to pick her up.

According to The Washington Post, the child's grandfather was right next to her during the time of the frightening incident and in a panic, he wrapped his arms around her and clenched onto her.

Missouri police are hunting for a college student who went missing early Sunday morning after she texted her boyfriend that she had been pulled over for a routine traffic stop.

Toni Anderson, a 20-year-old student at the University of Missouri at Kansas City, was pulled over just after 4:15 a.m. Sunday after a Kansas City police officer busted her for an illegal lane change.

Minutes later, she texted her boyfriend that she had been pulled over — and then stopped responding.

"She's a great person, really nice. We're all worried sick for her," Pete Sanchez, Anderson's boyfriend, told Fox 4. "Every time I leave the house, I hope the next face I see in public is going to be her."

A MAN collapsed and died in the street after being ruled "fit to work" and forced to sign on.

Lawrence Bond, 56, suffered a fatal heart attack shortly after leaving Kentish Town Jobcentre on Thursday. His sister, Iris Green, said that he was in obvious "physical distress" when he arrived at the offices in Kentish Town Road, adding that staff are faced with an "awful dilemma".

"I do feel really sorry for the people who dealt with him," said Ms Green. "They face an awful dilemma of being the people responsible for ­collecting signatures for people signing on as fit for work, even when they can see people are very sick."

You know things are getting silly when the 'Russians hacked the election' crowd gets, or lets the Black Political Caucus carry water for them.

It's too fantastical to be believed, but it happened.

MLK would have been unhappy about this. He spoke out against whack-job militarism and the security state had him killed. It is very doubtful that any of this occurs to Waters as she shills for them.
