clandestine immigrants die by drowning at the doors of the European Union
Lots of immigrants die by drowning every year because boats aren’t sure and can sink easily.These immigrants live from their countries because there are wars and they live
in excessive poverty. Getting a seat on small boats costs a lot for them : lots of them don't have enough to live decently and they give everything they have to buy
these seats.
Smugglers tell them they can live better when they are on the European Union territory.The day when immigrants leave from their countries, they load inside boats and go
away...Some can cross the borders but lots of them are arrested and expelled or worse,they die by drowing.Then the authorities recover drowned bodies and these people don’t have funerals
which they should have.
If the Governments of these immigrants’countries did their job, their citizens wouldn’t want to leave. Now, to me, the authorites keep an eye on
their borders but if you want to go through and live a better life, you can.
As anywhere else in the world, people die because they want to live a better life...
To me, these immigrants come to Europe because it represents wealth and the people who live there look wealthier than them so they think they could live better in France, Spain, Italy ...but they don't know that lots of people live in bad living conditions in Europe. However, they can live here if they find a job, a place to live, ...unfortunately, the authorities watch the borders closely.
The 47th nautic boat show of Paris
For 2007-2008, there are many new innovations, on boats. A lot of enthusiasts were at the meeting place. There were about 300 000 visitors and 1200 exhibitors like the famous french "BENETEAU"(it comes from "les Pays de Loire").
There are giants of technology and this event shouldn't be missed!
4.5 million French people practise boating. 70% of the boats are less than 6 meters long but now there are more and more sailing ships.
In France, about 10 000 crafts are sold every year.
The nautic show is not only for amateur salors, it's also for windsurfers and kayakists.

Muammar Kadhafi’s visit
Libyan leader shaking French President’s hand
According to Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, the ruling party’s reelection (Vladimir Poutine’s party) calls up sleaze. It’s a ballot rigging : Russia isn’t a democratic country. However, Kremlin claims that Nicolas Sarkozy called the Russian President to congratulate him for this event. This new, very controversial, wasn’t confirmed by the French presidency. Is the incumbent president a dictator? Is his regime a dictatorship? According to the U.S.A, Germany, England, probably it is.

Muammar Kadhafi’s visit
Colonel Kadhafi’s visit comes under fire ! A lot of politicians think Mr.Kadhafi’s visit is an insult to Human Rights,
because he arrived during the 59th anniversary of this event. Let us not forget that Mr. Sarkozy said in July: “If you liberate Bulgarian nurses, you could visit Paris, with me ”.
There weren’t any protest. Now, Mr. Sarkozy keeps his promise and yet, opposition condemn this proposal. Even in the government, Sarkozy comes under pressure. The junior minister for
Human Rights, Rama Yade said : “Colonel Kadhafi must understand ; France isn’t a doormat where a statesman, terrorist or not, can come to wipe his feet from the blood of his crimes. France
mustn’t greet this kiss of death.”
