Polluted Paris forces thousands of cars off the road

The Eiffel tower and the skyline of Paris' are seen through a haze of pollution, March 11, 2014Paris on Monday resorted to drastic measures to curb soaring pollution levels by forcing all cars with number plates ending in even numbers off the road for the first time in two decades. Around 700 police officers were deployed to man 60 checkpoints around the French capital to ensure that only cars with number plates ending in odd numbers were out on the streets. The restrictions came into force across Paris and 22 surrounding areas from 5:30 am (0430 GMT). Parking will be free for vehicles with even number plates, the Paris city hall said, calling on residents to consult carpooling or car-sharing sites to work out their travel plans.

Russia to pass laws on Crimea's accession as quickly as possible
Russia's lower house of parliament will pass legislation allowing Ukraine's Crimea region to join Russia "in the very near future", Interfax news agency quoted the chamber's deputy speaker as saying on Monday. With three-quarters of Sunday's ballots counted in Crimea, support for union with Russia was running at 95.7 percent, officials said of a referendum which has plunged East-West relations to lows not seen since the Cold War. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he will respect the will of the people in Crimea, ignoring Western leaders who say the referendum was illegal because Russian forces have seized the southern region. "The results of the referendum in Crimea clearly showed that residents of Crimea see their future only as part of Russia," the deputy speaker of the State Duma, Sergei Neverov, was quoted as saying.
