In a city like Paris there are currently 0.75 security cameras per square kilometer (km²), while in New York it is 0.5 and in Los Angeles 0.1. So says a study conducted by Stanford University.

“Millions of cameras installed around the world can play a crucial role in crime prevention, but when combined with face recognition technologies, they can also significantly reduce citizens’ privacy,” said the study authors.

The study used images from Google Maps and other similar platforms, which were analyzed by artificial intelligence to identify the cameras.

The researchers recorded 100,000 images from 10 U.S. cities and 6 from the rest of the world (Paris, London, Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo and Bangkok), thus identifying the density of the cameras.

The most controlled was Seoul, with 0.85 cameras per square kilometer, followed by Paris.

The study also made it possible to assess which are the areas with the highest density within cities.

“We found a much higher density in areas with many ethnic minorities than in the predominantly heterogeneous ones. “We are trying to understand the mechanism behind this trend,” said the study authors. / ATSH-ANSA /

An open exhibition in Paris has uncovered previously unpublished documents about the life of one of France’s most extraordinary women.

Simone Veil, born in Nice in 1927, was a Holocaust survivor in which she lost her parents, writes Euronews, reports KultPlus.

After much hardship, she became a government minister and campaigned for abortion to become legal – which was achieved in 1974.

Constance de Gaulmyn, curator at the National Archives and responsible for Simone Veil’s collection, said there are many unpublished documents that will be presented for the first time.

“There are many unpublished documents that have never been extracted from the archives and which are being presented to the public for the first time. Some of them are presented in the form of books, reproductions in recently published books and here the visitor will have the opportunity to see them in their original form, to take the time to read them, to see how Simone Veil writes ”.

The H detel de Ville exhibition, entitled “We love you, madam”, brings together nearly 500 documents from a life steeped in battles and victories for women’s rights.

Simone became the first female President of the European Parliament in 1979.

The exhibition will be open until August 21.

French hospitals have hired additional staff for the Easter weekend to cope with the expected increase in the number of coronavirus patients.

The crowds filled the train stations in Paris on Friday evening and the masses headed towards the village. The National Railways Administration SNCF says it expects 600,000 people to travel over the weekend.

France ranks first in Europe and fourth in the world in terms of the number of patients with 4.8 million cases. It is the eighth deadliest in the world, with more than 96,000 deaths from COVID-19.

Amélie de Montchalin, Minister of State for European Affairs, affiliated with the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, will receive Jadranka Joksimovic, Serbia’s Minister for European Integration, on March 3rd.

The meeting is an opportunity to discuss bilateral relations that have been boosted by President Macron’s visit to Belgrade on July 15-16, 2019. The two ministers will also discuss the negotiations on Serbia’s EU accession as part of the discussions under the Council of the European Union on reforming the accession process to make it more credible, engaging and reversible.

France supports and stands by Serbia’s strategic decision to join the European Union as it continues to support its efforts to implement the necessary reforms, particularly with regard to the rule of law, which is at the heart of the European project.
