From RFI, who are France's climate marchers?  (Have any of them found the Chinese embassy?)

From VRT NWS, Flemings do not reject a multicultural society.  (The Flemings are Belgians who speak Flemish, which is either a dialect of Dutch or a separate language related to Dutch, depending on which language scholar you talk to.  They share the country with the Walloons, who speak a dialect of French.)

From the NL Times, Dutch mosques prepare for Ramadan with extra security measures.

From Dutch News, eight inmates at a prison on Vught, Netherlands are sent to solitary confinement for interrupting a two-minute period of silence on Remembrance Day.  (I won't write what the inmates yelled during the intended period of silence.  You'll have to click on the story to find out.)

From Sputnik International, 41 bodies have been recovered from the jet which crash-landed at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.

From The Moscow Times, fewer than half of all Russians support their country's intervention in Syria.
