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.?
