    Paris Slashes Speed Limit On Ring Road To 50km/h

    A 50km/h speed limit road sign is seen on the peripherique ring road on October , 2024 in Paris, France.

Although the Ville de Paris city hall is keen on the change, it has been contested by the Paris police prefecture, the regional government, headed by Valerie Pecresse, and the ministry of transport. However, in their decree, the city reiterated that they have authority to change the speed limit, thanks to a decentralisation law that was passed in 2017.

                  Handout photo shows Rafael Mariano Grossi, IAEA Director-General together with his Senior staff Lydie Evrard, IAEA Deputy Director-General and Head of the Department of Nuclear Safety and Security and Diego Candano Laris, Senior Advisor to the Director-General at the frontline crossing near Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), Ukraine, September 4, 2024. The head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog said a cooling tower at Ukraine's Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant had been badly damaged in a fire last month and would probably have to be demolished. Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, made the comment on Wednesday during his fifth visit to the plant, which was seized by Russian forces soon after Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Moscow and Kyiv have regularly accused each other of attacking the plant and risking a nuclear accident. Photo by IAEA via ABACAPRESS.COM
