He was ordered to instruct the @placeholder to come forward. | By Peter Lewis There is a plateau in central France where visitors are few and winters cold and long-lasting. South-west of Lyon, it rises steeply amid pine forests to a bleak and windswept plain, with only a few hamlets and widely scattered farm houses as habitation. In the midst of it is the village of Le Chambon. Until France fell in summer 1940, and Le Chambon became part of unoccupied Vichy France, you would hardly have known there was a war on. Then the refugees started to arrive. They were wanted by the Germans for various reasons as resisters, communists or Jews. Many were Jewish children who had escaped the round-ups that ended up in their arrested parents taking the fatal train journey to the death camps in the East.

Gloucestershire Highways is investigating the site, which has already had some corrective work done earlier in 2013, after an embankment collapsed. Highways crews have placed sandbags on the road to protect the properties below from debris sliding down the embankment.

‘@placeholder recognises the benefit in strengthening family support for prisoners in terms of preparation for release and reducing reoffending.’ | By Gemma Mullin Prisoners convicted of violent crimes are getting free weddings if they tie the knot behind bars. Cash for the 27 marriages that took place inside prisons in Scotland – and even the buffet – came from the jail kitty, which is made up of profits from the prison shop. Among those who have tied the knot in the last decade include Alistair Ferrier, who married partner Joanne Dye at Perth Prison, less than six months after he was put in prison for a drink-drive crash which resulted in the death of two pensioners and injured a third.

The same forces that produced a dysfunctional @placeholder in the past year are fully in place. | (CNN) -- Congress is back at work. Republicans and Democrats are gauging how much progress the lame duck session will be able to make in the coming weeks. Americans understandably are rolling their eyes, not expecting much from an institution that has been so dysfunctional over the past few years. Will this be like the productive lame duck session after the last midterm election? In 2010, Congress passed a tax bill, repealed the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy for homosexuals in the military and ratified an arms treaty with Russia. "We're not doomed to endless gridlock," Obama said in praise of Congress then.

The F-15E Strike Eagle, which is normally based in Britain, had taken off with another F-15E from the U.S. air base in Aviano, Italy. The aircraft were on a mission to attack Libyan air defense systems. According to timelines released by the U.S. Marines and the White House, at about 11:30 p.m. (5:30 p.m. ET) Monday, one of the F-15s crashed east of Benghazi, in the heart of rebel-held territory. Adm. Samuel Locklear III, commander of the Operation Odyssey Dawn Joint Task Force, said the crash was the result of equipment malfunction, and early reports indicated that hostile fire was not involved.
