The unidentified child was mugged by two young men in the Parisian suburb of Sarcelles on Tuesday, and French President Emmanuel Macron echoed prosecutors' sentiments that he was attacked because of the symbol of his religion. “Every time a citizen is attacked because of his age, his appearance or his faith, the whole Republic is attacked,” the president posted on Twitter.

France failed to meet its targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions in 2016, the government said Monday, just a month after President Emmanuel Macron warned that “we are losing the battle” against global warming. The environment ministry said the country emitted 463 tons of greenhouse gases, measured as carbon dioxide equivalents, or 3.6 percent more than its goal. It attributed the slip in part to lower oil prices, which can prompt people and businesses to consume more in areas such as transportation or heating. But emissions were down 15.3 percent from 1990 levels. […] … [T]he disappointing 2016 results show...

French newspaper La Tribune first reported the decision on Jan. 19, 2018. At present, the French Navy’s aviation arm, or l'Aéronavale, has fewer than 20 of the aging Alouette IIIs, which first entered service in...
