Chernobyl's ghost town draws daring
visitors
APRIL 26, 2017
This photo taken Wednesday, April 5,
2017, shows a gymnasium in a school
in the deserted town of Pripyat, some 3
kilometers (1.86 miles) from the
Chernobyl nuclear power plant
Ukraine. Once home to some 50,000
people whose lives were connected to
the Chernobyl nuclear power plant,
Pripyat was hastily evacuated one day
after a reactor at the plant 3 kilometers
(2 miles away) exploded on April 26,
1986. The explosion and the
subsequent fire spewed a radioactive
plume over much of northern Europe.

INKHIL, SYRIA
Alaa Al-Faqir
Leaping over bombed roofs and jumping through damaged window
frames, a group of teenagers run and swing their way through
buildings left dilapidated by six years of war in the southern Syrian
town of Inkhil.
The young men practise Parkour across rebel-held Inkhil, saying they
find escape in the physical discipline which involves climbing and
running over buildings and grounds and takes its name from the
French word for route or course "parcours".WRITING BY MARINE HASS

"When I jump from a high place I
feel free and I enjoy it," 18-year-old
Muhannad al-Kadiri said. "I love
competing with my friends to see
who can achieve the highest jump."

years, often in school

days when there is no
fighting in the area.

Inkhil is located near a front line between
rebels and pro-government forces in an
area that has been subjected to air strikes
and shelling during the conflict.
The Parkour leaps can take their toll and
members of the group have suffered
broken toes, bruises and even a twisted
neck during training.
GALLERY PHOTOS

The teenagers film and photograph each
other and upload the footage on Facebook.
They even have an audience.
"(Parkour) is exciting and relies on physical
fitness and skill," spectator Ayman said
during one training session. "But it is
dangerous especially because they attempt it
in damaged areas. I hope they get better and
learn new skills."

Parkour was born in France in the 1980s as Art
du Deplacement and has gained popularity
over the years. In January, Britain became the
first country to officially recognise it as a
sport.

Kadiri and his friends somersault in the air,
hold themselves up with just their arms

abandoned by occupants who had
fled to U.N. camps or found shelter

which is fully control by
government forces.
Many shops have been looted,
such as the state telecoms office
which still advertises internet
packages in frontage riddled by
bullet holes.
Some places look normal, such as a
kebab restaurant left in orderly
fashion after staff closed up.
Menus on the wall still offered
dishes starting from 500 Iraqi
dinars ($.043).
Elsewhere, a shop's window
display now consists of army-
issued plastic food boxes. Soldiers,
camping out on mats, are only
occupants.

Walking the abandoned streets of Mosul these days is no gentle stroll: you hurry cross any
street to escape snipers. Soldiers have put up blankets on windows or narrow street
openings near the frontline to hide movements from the enemy.
Inside the buildings it's often eerily quiet as walls muffle the gunfire, the constant
background noise. Something moves - is it the wind or something far more deadly?
But you are not totally alone, even without the military.
Amid these deserted streets there are still some signs of civilian life. A handful residents
refuse to leave despite the proximity of the frontline. 11 APR 2017. MOSUL, IRAQ. REUTERS/ANDRES MARTINEZ CASARES

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the damage was "devastating"
during a news conference with local officials Sunday
afternoon.
"You saw homes and other buildings that were
incompletely flattened, as well as others that were nothing
more than rubble," he said, adding that he saw "large
swath after large swath of devastation."

Turkey's referendum myriad views, only two options
RIZE, TURKEY Umit BektasAdded 12 April , 2017
Tens of millions of Turks will cast their votes in
a referendum on Sunday with almost that
number of motives, but there are only two
options on the ballot - "yes" or "no".
The referendum could bring about the biggest
change to Turkey's system of governance since
the founding of the modern republic almost a
century ago, replacing its parliamentary system
with an executive presidency.
The question on the ballot paper may be about
the constitution, but looming large is the figure
of President Tayyip Erdogan, who could win
sweeping powers and stay in office until 2029 if
the changes are approved.
Polls show a close race, with a slight lead for
"yes". But the vote may yield surprises.
"I'm a patriot," said Cengiz Topcu, 57, a
fisherman in Rize on the Black Sea coast,
Erdogan's ancestral home town where his
supporters are among the most fervent. Topcu
is voting "no".
"In the past, Erdogan was a good man but then
he changed for the worse. I want a democracy:
not the rule of one man," he told Reuters in his
boat.

The proposed changes, Erdogan and his supporters say, will make Turkey
stronger at a time when the country faces security threats from both
Islamist and Kurdish militants.
Violence has flared in the largely Kurdish southeast since the collapse of
a ceasefire between the state and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party
(PKK) in 2015, and parts of the region have long been strongholds of
opposition to Erdogan.
But Hikmet Gunduz, 52, a street vendor in the main regional city of
Diyarbakir, hopes his "yes" vote will help bring peace.
"I like President Erdogan’s character. He is a bit angry and a bit
authoritarian but his heart is full of love."

Erdogan, arguably modern Turkey's
most popular but divisive politician,
has long cast himself as the champion
of ordinary, pious Turks exploited by a
secular elite.
Although a majority Muslim country,
Turkey is officially secular and the
headscarf was long banned in the civil
service and in universities until
Erdogan's Islamist-rooted AK Party
overturned that restriction.
Aynur Sullu, a 49-year-old hotel owner
in the Aegean coastal city of Izmir, a
bastion of the secularist opposition,
said she planned to vote "yes",
dismissing suggestions that Erdogan's
Islamist ideals were encroaching on
people's private lives.
"Anyone can drink raki or swim with a
bikini freely," she said, referring to the
alcoholic drink favoured by Mustafa
Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the
modern secular republic. "Also, now
women with headscarves have
freedom."

Businesswoman Dilsat Gulsevim Arinc,
however, said Erdogan was acting like a sultan
and hoped her "no" vote would help teach
him a "useful lesson".
"He is too authoritarian," said the 68-year-old
cafe owner in Cesme, an Aegean resort town.
"If things go on like this, I think Turkey will be
finished in the next 10 years."
