The environmental and migration disciplines have been wrangling over the real numbers of people fleeing natural disasters as the impact of climate change intensifies; how to define a person displaced by environmental factors; what kind of protection can be afforded to such persons; whether those affected should be relocated; whether they should rather be helped to adapt to their changed environment, among various other issues.

"Generally speaking, the former, who tend to isolate environmental factors as a major driving force of migration, can be described as 'alarmists' and the latter, who tend to insist on the complexity of the migration process, as 'sceptics'.

Bouygues obligé de démonter une antenne-relais, une "première"

"C'est une vraie victoire, on est vraiment très heureux", a déclaré mercredi à Reuters Florence Lagouge, l'une des plaignantes de Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, en banlieue lyonnaise.

La cour d'appel de Versailles a en effet condamné Bouygues Télécom à démonter l'antenne-relais du Rhône dans un délai de quatre mois, sous astreinte de 500 euros par jour de retard.

"Si nous avions perdu, de toute façon, nous aurions déménagé", assure Florence Forget, indiquant que les fenêtres des chambres de ses enfants étaient recouvertes de papier aluminium censé atténuer le rayonnement.

Elle devrait selon lui multiplier le nombre de plaintes, mais surtout "obliger les opérateurs de téléphonie mobile à se mettre autour d'une table et de discuter de la baisse des normes".

Latest Through the Grapevine

A good Riesling can be the perfect ending to a meal, the perfect accompaniment to a seafood dish, or the perfect accent to a pork dinner.

So we've reviewed a couple of red wines now and I figured it was time to suggest a native white to tickle the palettes of those who prefer the paler shades of the grape....

There are some things that should never be done on the cheap; national security for instance...as well as the war in Iraq, the lack of body armor for our soldiers...bad decision.

Known to France and most of the world as Syrah, the Australians put their own down-under twist on a long established and favored French varietal.

Hurrah for syrah, a forgiving grape

Grown in France's Northern Rhone Valley, it makes an august, powerful wine that tastes of black plums, licorice, spice and black pepper and has a powerful opulence that improves when aged 10 years or more.

Grown in warm, sunny Australia, where they call it shiraz, the same grape can be jammy and soft, tasting of strawberries and cinnamon, and can be drunk the day you buy it.

In a perfect world, I would hunt down a wild boar, stud it with garlic, roast it on a spit and serve it with a plate of potatoes cooked in the coals and a glass of syrah.

News - World: France faces fresh storm alert

The French Atlantic coast was expected to be worst hit, with gales and heavy rain there predicted to reach 140km an hour, but the entire west and north was in the storm's path, weather forecasters said.

The national weather service put 58 of France's 100 departments on a state of orange alert, one step below the top red alert status.

But the forecasters said the storm would not reach the intensity of the one that lashed France on January 14, leaving 11 dead, knocking out power for hundreds of thousands and causing more than a €billion worth of damage.

News - World: France condemns Madagascar bloodshed

Paris "urges, once again, all sides to unite so as to reject the violence" in favour of a "peaceful dialogue and finding the path to national reconciliation," the ministry said.

On Saturday, presidential security forces opened fire on protesters who tried to march on President Marc Ravalomanana's office after a rally in the capital Antananarivo.

The latest deaths brought to 96 the number of people killed in protests that erupted January 26 when the now-sacked Antannarivo mayor Andry Rajoelina called for anti-government demonstrations.
