Paris to sue Fox News for reports on Muslim ‘no-go zones’
The city of Paris said Tuesday it plans to sue US chain Fox News for reports that there were "no-go zones" in the French capital that police and non-Muslims avoid.

In principle, students prefer junior college to intermediate school because the former is the higher education level. “As junior colleges have opened their doors too widely, I am afraid that students won’t want to go to intermediate school anymore,” a principal said.
