I t  follows protests and riots in France  following a proposed move by the French Government to raise the retirement age there from 62 to 64.

  Three children, three adults die in school shooting in Nashville Children arrive at Woodmont Baptist Church to be reunited with their families after a mass shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville. Photo: AFP / Getty Images A heavily armed 28-year-old fatally shot three children and three adult staffers on Monday at a private Christian school the suspect once attended in Tennessee's capital city before police killed the assailant, authorities said.

  Italian art experts astonished by David statue uproar in Florida An Italian gallery director says the Renaissance cannot be discussed without showing the state of David. Photo: AFP / Hemis.fr The Florence museum that houses Michelangelo's statue of David has invited teachers and students from a Florida school to visit, after an uproar over an art lesson. The school's principal quit after a complaint about a sixth-grade art class that included an image of the statue. A parent had complained the image was pornographic. Director of Galleria dell'Accademia Cecilie Hollberg has now issued the invitation to the class. She said the principal should be "rewarded, not punished". "Talking about the Renaissance without showing the David , an undisputed icon of art and culture and of that historical period, would make no sense," Hollberg said. The controversy began when the board of Tallahassee Classical School - a charter...
