Question:
The publishing of a series of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a Copenhagen newspaper sparked a string of harsh and in some places violent reactions in the Middle East, forcing European leaders to try to calm the situation. This backlash started in late September 2005, when the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published a dozen cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad. The images ranged from serious to comical in nature; a particularly controversial cartoon portrays Mohammad with a bomb wrapped in his turban. The Jutland-based newspaper states that the images were meant to inspire some level of public debate over the image of Islam in Europe, and had no direct aim of offending anyone.
Is this true?
Jyllands-Posten is published in Copenhagen.

Answer:
yes


Question:
France is to compensate people who suffered health problems as a result of three decades of nuclear weapons tests, its government says.  It was time to investigate health complaints reported by staff who took part in tests, Defence Minister Herve Morin said.  Mr Morin told Le Figaro France should be "true to its conscience".  France carried out more than 200 tests, firstly in Algeria and later in French Polynesia, between 1966 and 1996.  Mr Morin said about 150,000 civil and military workers were "theoretically affected" by the tests.  Mr Morin said an independent commission would examine claims on a case-by-case basis.  He added that 10m euros ($13.6m; £9.3m) had already been earmarked to compensate victims.
Is this true?
France carried out more than 200 nuclear tests during 30 years.

Answer:

yes
