French schools send home girls wearing banned abaya robe – BBC News
A number of schoolgirls in France have been sent home, after arriving wearing the abaya – a long Muslim robe which was banned from schools in the country last week.
According to official figures, 298 girls – mainly aged 15 or more – turned up at school in the banned garment, and while most agreed to change and were allowed to attend classes, 67 girls refused to comply and were sent home.
It comes after the education minister announced that pupils would be banned from wearing the loose-fitting full-length robes worn by some Muslim women in France’s state-run schools, as part of the nation’s strict ban on religious signs in state schools and government buildings, arguing that they violate secular laws.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

Way to go France.
People who don’t want to adapt to our culture should rethink their choice of staying in Europe.

This rule is retarded. Why doesn't France focus on actually real and very pertinent elements of religious Islamic radicalism causing violence in France instead of focusing on clothes worn by children in schools? What a misdirection and failure of logic when people are being raped and killed to focus on this stupid sh*t

Rejecting western dress code for women is another example of non compliance by Islamists towards western culture and values.
Islam aims to replace our culture with their own rather than adopt and integrate into the country's culture they've chosen to settle in. As a western lifestyle doesn't appeal to them they are not bringing benefits to France and need to return to a Muslim country which is a better fit for their needs rather than upsetting the natives. We don't want an Islamic Europe.

Now France is struggling with one of the worst bed bug infestations! The French government is now telling its citizens to please wear long clothes.
I'll just say one thing: I love karma!

All children should present themselves as equals in schools. Religious clothing has no room in schools. It promotes difference and possibly cause troubles. It’s no one’s business what religion you follow. France is doing the right thing. Also, if they don’t like it, they can well leave the country and go to an Islam country. IF they are in France is because they chose to be there. So then do as French do and don’t wear religious clothing. It’s very simple. But there is always someone who will play victim. In the 21st century, people should be over religious differences and religions all together. Science has explained it all.

I lived here in the us for the longest time, I can tell you that no matter what they say god bless the us, yes there is hate in some areas but man it’s not even close to the hateful french tactics. Feels like the world is realizing how fcked up the french are, evil monsters and I know that from many experiences.
