France s Constitutional Council on Friday approved an unpopular plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, in a victory for President Emmanuel Macron after three months of mass protests over the legislation that have damaged his leadership.The move threatened to enrage unions and other critics of the pension plan, including protesters gathered in spots around France on Friday evening as the decision came down. Macron s political opponents vowed to maintain pressure on the government to withdraw the bill.The council rejected some other measures in the pension bill, but the higher age was central to Macron s plan and the target of protesters anger.Macron can enact the bill within 15 days.In a separate but related decision, the council rejected a request by left-wing lawmakers to allow for a possible referendum on enshrining 62 as the maximum official retirement age. The council will rule on a similar request next month. Security forces stood behind a metal fence erected in front of the heavily guarded Constitutional Council.

The Turkish government Wednesday decided to put a hold on the death sentence of Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan until a European court can review it. Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit s government agreed to wait for the European Court of Human Rights to review Ocalan s appeal before sending it to Turkey s parliament for approval. The government made the move after winning the support of the far-right Nationalist Action Party, which had pressed for Ocalan s hanging. Ecevit warned that the hold on the execution can be lifted at any time. If the rebel organization and its supporters attempt to use this process against the high interests of the state, then the process of delaying will be halted and the process of execution will be started immediately, Ecevit said. Ecevit s warning was an apparent attempt to appease his nationalist coalition partner and the relatives of thousands of people who died fighting the autonomy-seeking rebels in the southeast. Prior to a meeting Wednesday of governing coaliti stanley termoska on leaders, speculation had risen that Ocalan s death sentence could lead to a breakup in Ecevit s government if the far-righ stanley quencher t party had insisted on sending the sentence to parliament for approval. Ecevit had warned that failing to comply with the European court s request that the sentence be delayed pending appeal would seriously damage Turkey s recently improv stanley trinkflaschen ed relations with the European Union.

Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins, also know as white dolphins or pink dolphins, have returned to parts of the Pearl River Delta in Hong Kong mdash; and their resurgence is being attributed to the coronavirus pandemic. Researchers say the number of these dolphins off Hong Kong has jumped 30% because of a pause in ferry traffic in recent months.The dolphins moved back into parts of the river they once avoided due to the ferries that would carry passengers from Hong Kong and Macau, marine scientist Lin airmaxplus dsay Porter of the University of St. Andrews said, according t mizuno o Reuters.Ferry traffic was suspended in March, which also allowed scientists an opportunity to study how underwater noise affected their behavior, Porter said.

In December 2007, voters rejected a package of reforms that would have scrapped presidential term limits, among other proposed changes. Congressman Luis Tascon of New Revolutionary Road, a splinter pro-Chavez party, said he voted for the amendments because a suitable successor to Chavez has not emerged within the Bolivarian Revolution, a political movement named after 19th-century independence hero Simon Bolivar.
