Weapons Handover at Burj Barajneh Camp in Beirut - Lebanon

(250821) -- NOUAKCHOTT, Aug. 21, 2025 (Xinhua) -- An aerial drone photo taken on Aug. 7, 2025 shows the Beni Nadji water pretreatment station in the Trarza region, Mauritania. The Beni Nadji pretreatment project, built by a subsidiary of Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina), was officially accepted by the Mauritanian authorities in early August. Mauritania, located in northwest Africa, is approximately 80 percent covered by the Sahara Desert and experiences an arid climate. Its capital, Nouakchott, home to more than 1.5 million people, relies on the Senegal River for water. The raw water is treated at the Beni Nadji water plant before being piped into the city. The new station, with a designed daily capacity of 255,000 cubic meters, is equipped with six sets of high-density sedimentation tanks, a central control room, and intake and outflow structures.

The New Installation in Piazza Municipio Causing Discussion - Naples

The new installation in Piazza Municipio is causing discussion, in Naples on October 8, 2024. It is 'Tu si 'na cosa grande', a work dedicated to Naples by the sculptor and designer Gaetano Pesce, who passed away six months ago in New York. The installation, 12 meters high - is a reinterpretation of Pulcinella's dress, with two red hearts pierced by an arrow and is part of the Napoli Contemporanea program. The fact that has aroused curiosity, jokes and not always benevolent comments on social media, is the phallic shape of the work, especially when seen from 'back'. Many comments, most of which are allusive and ironic, others more critical.Photo by Salvatore Laporta/KONTROLAB/IPA/ABACAPRESS.COM

Saint-Jean Cathedral's Astronomical Clock Returns After Being Vandalized - Lyon

Restitution of the astronomical clock of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste-et-Saint-Étienne cathedral, dating from 1379, and measuring 10 meters high with six floors. In 2013, it was attacked with an iron bar by an unbalanced person, and has remained out of use ever since.
