I love the idea that when President Trump suggested a wall between the United States
and Mexico was a simple method of stopping dangerous acts in his land taking place,
it was mocked by the establishment who saw it as petty.
But now...
'The new anti-terror measure is scheduled for the autumn and comes with a €20m (£17m)
price tag. [$211,803,000]

A two-and-a-half metre high glass security barrier is to be constructed around Paris' most
recognisable landmark.The wall will replace the metal fences put in place during the Euro
2016 football tournament and is part of a plan to prevent attacks on the monument.
French tourist sites, transport systems and places of worship have been subject to
increased security measures following terrorist atrocities committed in the country between
January 2015 and July 2016, which claimed 238 lives.
Construction will take place later in the year and is expected to cost €20m (£17m).
Jean-Francois Martins, deputy mayor of Paris, said: "The terror threat remains high in Paris,
and the most vulnerable sites, starting with the Eiffel Tower, must be the object of special
security measures.
"The glass casing will prevent individuals or vehicles storming the site visited by six million
people each year. "Architects will help design the wall so that it blends in with the Seine river,
which borders the tower to the north, and with the Champ de Mars park to the south."
Some councillors have been critical of the plans, warning that a wall could transform the tower
into "a fortress" and might discourage tourists from visiting.
Gustave Eiffel's wrought iron masterpiece will also undergo refurbishment following Paris'
formal bid to host the 2024 Olympic Games...'

Paris suicide bomb plot: Sixteen-year-old girl among four held.
'Explosives and other bomb-making materials are found during a search of the suspects'
homes, says a French prosecutor. Four people including a 16-year-old girl have been arrested
on suspicion of planning a suicide attack in Paris.

French prosecutors have said the group were arrested in Montpellier in the south of the country.
The teenager was the girlfriend of one of the other suspects, who is 22, according to reports.
Both are said to have been known to the authorities because of their links to radical Islam.
The four were allegedly planning to detonate one or more explosive belts in a tourist area of the
capital. However, a specific target has not yet been established.
Explosives and computer equipment were discovered in a makeshift laboratory at one of the suspects'
homes, according to the Paris prosecutor's office. It said around 70 grams of the explosive TATP were
found, as well as other bomb-making materials.
TATP is the same explosive used in the 2015 attack on Paris and the March 2016 attack in Brussels.
France has been targeted in a number of terror attacks, leading to a state of emergency being declared
until after the Presidential elections in July. Three co-ordinated teams were said to behind a series of
shootings and bombings in Paris which killed 130 people and critically injured another 100 in November
2015.
In July, 2016, a 19-tonne truck was driven through a Nice tourist area, killing 86 people.
Last week, a soldier shot and wounded an attacker armed with a machete outside the Louvre museum
in Paris while shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest).
Investigators have identified the suspect as a 29-year-old Egyptian Abdullah Reda al Hamamy, and are
trying to establish if he has any links to extremist groups.
