Mali troops march with French military at Bastille Day parade
The annual Bastille Day parade in Paris has been celebrated in hot sunshine ? with troops from Mali and 12 other African countries marching along with the French military down the Champs Elys?es.
The Malian presence was in recognition of the joint effort with French forces to oust Islamist extremists who had taken over the north of the country and were threatening the capital.
The French President Fran?ois Hollande was joined by Mali?s interim President Dioncounda Traor?, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Ivo Josipovic, the President of Croatia which has just joined the European Union.
Despite the splendour of the occasion celebrating the start of the French revolution, this year?s parade was a slimmed-down affair, with savings of up to 15 per cent compared to last year.
The military governor of Paris, General Herv? Charpentier, said at a news conference that ?like all our citizens, we are taking care over our spending?.

Facebook, Google And Microsoft's Plan To Ban ... - Business Insider
Major companies, including Facebook, Microsoft, Google and Twitter, are in secret discussions to create a system that could banish child abuse images from the web.
The plan would be the first collaborative effort across the industry to block pedophiles from sharing images online, and would involve a single database of the worst child abuse images.
At the moment, each company has its own process for removing abusive photos but does not share details of the images for legal and technical reasons.
According to The Times, internet giants including Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Twitter and at least three other major companies have been in negotiations for about nine months to work together on combating the explicit images.
The database would be maintained by a Los Angeles charity Thorn: Digital Defenders of Children, which was founded in 2009 by the actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore.
To take part in Thorn's project, each company would use Microsoft's PhotoDNA software to create a "hash" or digital signature for each abusive image. The companies could then use the hashes to easily identify and remove pictures from their own sites.
Julie Cordua, executive director of Thorn, told The Times: ?This has the goal of cleaning this horrific content off platforms ... with the goal of the identification of victims.?
Sources told the newspaper that some companies had signed legal agreements not to discuss the project in public, and that secrecy was required to allow frank discussions.
Facebook is believed to be the first company to begin testing the system and Google will begin using it this month.
All images will be sent to the US police and Britain?s Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre has also reportedly been informed.
Google has confirmed that it is part of the Thorn database project. Microsoft, Twitter and Yahoo! did not confirm involvement but said that they were participants in the charity?s task force, which discusses online protection. According to Thorn's website, 18 compaines are part of the task force. Facebook told The Times: ?We are committed to using technology as a force to protect children.?

Obama in Berlin: 'Our work is not yet done'
BERLIN (AP) ? President Barack Obama is challenging Americans and Europeans not to become complacent even though the Cold War is over.
Obama is speaking at Berlin's iconic Brandenburg Gate nearly 50 years after John F. Kennedy's famous speech in the once-divided city.
Obama says there's a temptation to turn inward now that barbed wire and concrete walls no longer separate East and West in Berlin. He says he's returned to Berlin because the tests of our time require the same fighting spirit. He's pointing to poverty and unemployment as ongoing challenges requiring the world's attention.
Obama says, quote, "Our work is not yet done."

96% Blancanieves
All Critics (48) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (45) | Rotten (2)
Most films are experiences to be ignored or at best forgotten. "Blancanieves" is a little classic to be treasured.
It is a full-bodied silent film of the sort that might have been made by the greatest directors of the 1920s, if such details as the kinky sadomasochism of this film's evil stepmother could have been slipped past the censors.
Blancanieves, which won 10 Goyas (Spain's equivalent of the Oscars) and was a smash hit in its native Spain, has traces of a kinky undertone and an uncommon willingness to embrace the darkness inherent in this fairy tale.
As if bewitched, the legend of Snow White is transferred to Seville in the early twentieth century and transformed into high melodrama.
Sensuous, mischievous, hotblooded retelling of the old Teutonic fairy tale.
This gorgeous silent film is an unexpected gift from the gods of pure cinema.
The story might be familiar, but Berger's film is so beautifully shot and so wonderfully scored - and so distinctively Spanish - that it stands as its own film.
Blancanieves holds to the structure, but not strictures, of the source fairy tale.
A new, purely silent movie from Spain that never once speaks and doesn't need to speak. What's more, it seems to get the infinite possibilities of silence, and how much passion can come from it.
Berger's film doesn't show loyalty to any traditional version of Snow White. Berger's Blancanieves takes a darker approach, which seems appropriate.
A completely enchanting fairy tale about the vicissitudes of fate, in live action and glorious black and white.
The fun in the Spanish "Blancanieves" is the way it plays with our expectations.
May not have much depth to its characters or particular surprise, but its lovely depiction of family's ability to harm and mend has the flair of flamenco and the sorrow of opera.
No, "Blancanieves" isn't subtle, but it's an unforgettable time at the movies.
Inspired filmmaking steeped in the imagery of silent film history, a dark Iberian strain of Roman Catholicism and the magic of fairy tales.
... lusty and heartfelt, fiery flamenco and spirited country jig. Don't go expecting a Disney-fied fable. Berger seasons with S&M and the kind of macabre touches you'd expect in vintage Browning or Bunuel.
If not for some faintly disturbing imagery and a pleasingly feminist heroine, you could mistake this for a movie actually made in the 1920s (and even those two factors weren't utterly unknown then).
A loving tribute to European silent films of the 1920s; a reminder that cinema need not be constrained by words.
By the time the film arrives at its grand theatrical finale, you're almost prepared for Berger's last great twist. Almost.
this beautifully shot and imaginatively told fairy tale should be seen my many, but only a few will likely get to enjoy it. This is a shame for the audience it is intended for.
This film is simply gorgeous, pure beauty on film, a vision that leaves you breathless and reeling.
Much of the film's emotion is conveyed by Alfonso de Vilallonga's music, which celebrates Spain with uptempo guitar and flamenco when it isn't tipping its hat to Bernard Herrmann during a scene inspired by Hitchcock.
