What should Paris do about Hamza?

What should Paris do about Hamza?

Armed with his water gun and foul language, a truculent 14-year-old Arab boy called Hamza has become the unexpected sideshow of the Paris heatwave season.

Videos have gone viral showing the pudgy Algerian adolescent in swimming trunks terrorising Parisians along the crowded Canal Saint-Martin in the blistering summer heat. Shirtless and bare-foot, Hamza aims his water pistol at pedestrians and cyclists, extorting two euros (£1.70) from targets who are commanded to pay up or get sprayed.

Deport.

NATO chief faces challenge at summit as Trump demands ‘loyalty’ and not just burden-sharing

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Since he started work as NATO secretary-general almost two years ago, Mark Rutte has spent much of his time trying to keep the United States anchored to the world’s biggest military alliance, employing outright flattery to dissuade U.S. President Donald Trump from acting on threats to abandon it.

But the goalposts keep shifting, raising the stakes ahead of this week’s summit in Turkey.

Why I Chose America

Why I Chose America

As Americans celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, critics on the Left portray the United States as a nation defined by racial and national-origin discrimination and by irreversible decline. Having lived under both Mao Zedong’s China and the American constitutional republic, I see something very different.

America’s greatest achievement is not that it has existed for 250 years. Many civilizations are older. China’s recorded history stretches back thousands of years.

America remains a beacon.

Cowboys, fighter jets and US Border Patrol – inside Trump’s big recruitment drive

Cowboys, fighter jets and US Border Patrol – inside Trump’s big recruitment drive

It’s a sweltering Saturday in Colorado Springs as 33 new recruits, some of them baby-faced, line up to be sworn in at the Air Force Academy’s Falcon Stadium.

Off in the wings, there are chaps-clad bull riders waiting to battle against 1,600lb (725kg) horned bovines.

It’s an in-your-face marriage of Western grit, rodeo and military strength. Billed as Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Space Cowboys, the one-off event is celebrating America’s 250th anniversary. But the spectacle is not just trying to draw fans to rodeo, but also to branches of America’s military and law-enforcement agencies.

LeBlanc says Canada seeking clarity after U.S. opts for annual CUSMA review

OTTAWA – Days after the Trump administration decided to require annual reviews of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement instead of renewing it in its current form until 2042, the Canadian government says significant uncertainty remains over the next steps in trade negotiations.

“We don’t have any more predictability about the annual review process because this is somewhat uncharted territory. It’s not typical for this kind of agreement,” Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said in a telephone interview Friday.
