The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will see competitors parade on boats along the River Seine through central Paris on Friday.

An unprecedented security operation is in place, with organisers also facing challenges over the cleanliness of the Seine, costs and the environmental impact of the Games.

When are the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games?

The summer Olympics run from 26 July to 11 August, with 10,500 athletes competing in 329 events.

The Paralympics take place from 28 August to 8 September, featuring 4,400 athletes in 549 events.

There will be 206 countries represented at the Olympics, and 184 at the Paralympics.

Where will Olympic and Paralympic events take place?

The main athletics events will be at the Stade de France, on the northern outskirts of Paris.

There are also Olympic and Paralympic venues in the city centre.

The Pont d'Iena, for example, is hosting cycling events, while beach volleyball is at the Eiffel Tower and the marathon starts at the Hotel de Ville and ends at Les Invalides.

Is the Seine clean enough for swimming?

Open water swimming and triathlon events are due to take place in the Seine, more than 100 years after swimming in the river was banned.

Tests done in mid-June showed that levels of E. coli in the water were 10 times the acceptable level.

However, Games organisers hope July sunshine and measures like a rainwater storage basin will make it clean enough.

Ahead of the Games, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo took a dip to try to prove the river was safe.

How are France's security forces preparing for the Games?

The Games will be protected by the largest peacetime deployment of security forces in French history

Up to 75,000 police, soldiers and hired guards will be on patrol in Paris at any one time to guard venues and events.

The use of the Seine for the opening ceremony, with crowds watching the parade from the banks, is a first for the modern Olympics.

The original plan was to give free tickets to 600,000 members of the public to watch from the river's banks.

However, the government was worried about potential threats such as a drone attack, and spectator numbers were scaled back to 326,000.

More than 220,000 of those will be invited guests and 104,000 will be members of the public who have bought tickets.

Some 44,000 barriers have been erected, with QR codes for residents and others seeking access to the river Seine and its islands.

Many of the barriers will be removed after the opening ceremony.

Intelligence services uncovered two plots against the country by suspected Islamic militants in early 2024.

In May, a man was detained on suspicion of planning an attack on the torch relay in Bordeaux, and another man was arrested in southern France over a plan to attack an Olympic football venue.

How much are the Games costing?

The cost of this year's Games is estimated to be about 9bn euros (£7.6bn), less than any of the previous four Games — in Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, London, and Beijing.

Much of the funding is coming from private companies, as well as sales of tickets and broadcasting rights.

The government's official auditors have said it may have to pay between 3bn and 5bn euros (£2.5bn and £4.2bn) for costs such as policing.

Are the Games environmentally friendly?

The organising committee of Paris 2024 has promised to make it the greenest Games in Olympic history, with half the carbon footprint of London 2012 and Rio 2016.

The Games will be held in the same city where, in 2015, world leaders agreed to try to prevent global temperatures rising by more than 1.5C.

About 95% of the Olympic and Paralympic sites are either existing structures or temporary ones.

The organisers say they are using as much recycled material as they can — including recycled cardboard beds for athletes — and trying to minimise carbon emissions.

However, it has been reported that thousands of air-conditioning units have been ordered for Olympic Village rooms by some national teams.

Are the Games pushing up prices in Paris?

Millions of visitors are expected in Paris during the Games, with ticket holders expected to spend an estimated 2.6bn euros (£2.2bn).

Hoteliers in Paris pushed up their rates, in many cases doubling them or more, in anticipation of a big rise in demand.

But there have been reports that many hotels have had unexpectedly low sales.

Bus and metro fares are also doubling in the capital during the Games.

In January, the Louvre art gallery put up its entrance fees by almost 30%.

Honoring the Brave and Dedicated Personnel of CISF on Their Raising Day 2023: Saluting Their Service to the Nation.

India is a country that owes a lot to its security forces for safeguarding its borders, citizens, and critical infrastructure. One such security force that has played a pivotal role in securing the country's industrial and economic assets is the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). The CISF was formed in 1969 to provide security cover to the Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and critical infrastructure of the country. Since then, the force has grown in strength and has become one of the most respected and effective security forces in India.

On the occasion of CISF Raising Day 2023, we salute the brave and dedicated personnel of the force who have worked tirelessly to protect our nation's critical infrastructure, assets, and people. Their unwavering commitment to duty, their selfless service, and their sacrifices are truly remarkable and deserve our utmost respect and gratitude.

The CISF has been entrusted with the responsibility of guarding some of the most critical and sensitive installations in the country, such as airports, seaports, power plants, and nuclear facilities, among others. The force has been successful in preventing several security threats and has earned a reputation for being one of the most disciplined and professional security forces in the world.

The CISF personnel work under extremely challenging and stressful conditions and often have to spend long periods away from their families. Despite this, they continue to serve with utmost dedication and commitment, and their service to the nation is truly exemplary.

On this special day, let us take a moment to honor the CISF personnel and their families who have made countless sacrifices in the service of the nation. Their unwavering commitment to duty, their selfless service, and their sacrifices are truly remarkable and deserve our utmost respect and gratitude.

As citizens of India, it is our responsibility to support the CISF in every possible way and to provide them with the resources and tools they need to carry out their mission effectively. Together, let's work towards a safer, more secure India.

In conclusion, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and best wishes to the brave and dedicated personnel of the CISF on their Raising Day 2023. Jai Hind!

As citizens we should support them by keeping ourselves safe and healthy, to keep yourself healthy find your health and growth partner at: bit.ly/3XvNrNx

Morality police and security forces have humiliated, threatened and arrested millions of women in the streets and in state institutions. According to a police report in 2006, during the eight months of the assault on “bad hijabis” [women wearing loose headscarves], 1.3 million women were stopped in the streets and given formal citations. The following year, during a three-day crackdown, more than 150,000 women were detained. Such assaults reminded Iranians of the images of the Israeli army humiliating Palestinians. But the resistance and the quiet encroachment or non-movement of Iranian women continued. In the process, they have established new norms in society and new realities on the ground, like public presence and the hijab as a matter of choice rather than compulsion. And now, that very non-movement, mediated through the murder of one of those women, Mahsa Amini, has given rise to an extraordinary political uprising in which women and their dignity, indeed human dignity at large, have gained a prominent place. But this uprising is not merely about the “woman question.” The encompassing character of this protest movement has gone beyond women. It has embraced many other deprived, rejected and oppressed social, religious and ethnic groups and classes. There is a feeling that the emancipation of women opens the way for the emancipation of all, including men and the deprived. In other words, the protesters now seem to share a common pain and an understanding of a greater good that unites all protesters. It seems that “Woman, Life, Freedom” represents that universal good.

Species analysis has sometimes been skewed by other species, such as cromagnon or neanderthal or other proto human species pretending to be human, and even installing abducted or kidnapped humans in bodies similar to theirs, in order to not stand out as leaders too ugly to reasonably be in charge of things in a society
