Terrorists set fire to the Israeli city of Haifa, taking advantage of Sharav's weather conditions - the air temperature is above 40 degrees with a storm wind. This morning, almost simultaneously, fires began in Haifa and the surrounding area, including at the main fire station and near the power plant. Residents of 11 blocks are being evacuated, the university, the seaport and the airport are closed. 300 firefighters from the south of Israel, two battalions of IDF soldiers were sent to the city, and Prime Minister Netanyahu asked Russian President Putin for help in the form of special aircraft of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Representatives of the fire department of the city claim that the catastrophe in the city is a consequence of arson. Local residents on Facebook write that two arsonists have already been caught. Arabs in social networks rejoice violently and call the disaster in Haifa "the wrath of Allah."

This morning in the Israeli city of Haifa, several fires broke out simultaneously, of which one was at a local power plant, and the second at the main fire station. According to the Israeli Channel 2 TV channel, the fire started simultaneously at five points in the city. A stormy east wind and heat above 40 degrees in the shade (Sharav) contributed to the rapid spread of fire in the city and its environs.

According to MigNews, a state of emergency has been declared in Haifa. The first fires were in the New Romema quarter. Highways were blocked, kindergartens, the staff of the municipal stadium were evacuated. The fire then spread further, simultaneously sparking fires in other parts of the city.

Currently going evacuation of residents of 11 residential areas Cast: Ramat Sapir, Ramat Khen, Ramat Almogi, Ramat Ben-Gurion, Ahuza, Mirkaz Khorev, Romema, Ramat Eshkol, Begin, Ramat Golda, Naot Peres. The Haifa Fire Department said it could not contain the spread of the fire and residents must evacuate immediately.

Residents of these neighborhoods are taken to the center of Beit Galim and the old Kiryat Eliezer stadium.

Many local residents, even before the start of the official evacuation, tried to leave on their own for the sea coast. Haifa and the surrounding area are clogged with traffic jams. Drivers are asked not to drive into the disaster area. The traffic situation is worsening petrol station fires. In particular, a large fire started at the Paz Ramomot petrol station. After that, the fire spread to Romem and the surrounding area.

The University of Haifa has been closed and evacuated in the city, preparations have begun for the evacuation of prisons and hospitals both in Haifa itself and in the surrounding area.

The fire engulfed part of the settlements around the port city. Migdal HaEmek is burning 30 kilometers from Haifa, fires are raging in the vicinity of Nazareth, Zarzir and Manshiya Zabda.

The Israel Prisons Authority (SHABAS) is preparing for an immediate prison evacuation Damon and Carmel. We are talking about 600 prisoners and 150 security guards. The Nakhshon unit is being transferred to the prisons, which must accompany the convoy with prisoners.

By 16.00 Moscow time, 103 victims of carbon monoxide are known, including three children.

Partially stopped the movement of trains due to a fire at Modiin station. The fire started in a car park. The security forces ordered the closure of the Modiin railway station. Trains will only go to Ben Gurion International Airport.

Due to the storm, the seaport of Haifa was closed to incoming and outgoing ships. The port's rescue services, including fire brigades, joined the city's firefighters in fighting the fire in the city.

The city has 60 fire brigades and ten fire planes. A nationwide mobilization of fire service personnel has been announced.

Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan announced that 300 firefighters from the south of the country were immediately deployed to the Haifa area. Also, two battalions of rear services from the IDF were deployed to the city. To fight the fire involved all fire aircraft, which is at the disposal of Israel. At the request of the Israeli government, rescue teams were sent to the disaster area by Croatia, Italy, Turkey, Greece and Cyprus. European rescuers will deliver more than 60 tons of fire extinguishing agents to fight the fire from the air. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Russian President Vladimir Putin for help. In response to Haifa were sent two giant amphibious aircraft Be-200 of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation, which can take water when landing at sea.

Fires are rapidly spreading in the forests around the settlements. " We are dealing with the largest forest fire in these places in the last 6 years. According to initial estimates, 4,500 acres of wooded plantings are engulfed in fire in the Jerusalem mountains.”- quotes the Israeli TV channel 9TV commentary by Gidi Bashan, JNF forestry specialist. According to the JNF, in recent days, as a result of powerful forest fires in Israel, 7,500 hectares of forest and forest plantations burned out.

Haifa officials and local residents claim that terrorists caused the disaster. Evacuated residents of Haifa write on Facebook that two Arab arsonists caught. The Israeli police reported so far without specifics that there are detainees on suspicion of arson.

Haifa Fire Department spokesman Uri Chebotero, commenting on the series of unprecedented fires in the city, said: " Only the blind cannot see what is happening. This is not a series of random coincidences». « Arson attempt at Haifa's main fire station is a clear sign that there is a guiding hand behind the fires ... dozens of fires broke out simultaneously in different parts of the city” – Chebotero told reporters.

Prison guard Damon, who served on the guard tower, claims to have seen suspicious people who, apparently, set fire near the prison. Four road workers were also detained, due to the negligence of which one of the forest fires broke out. Four builders built a fire on the side of the road, which caused a giant fire in the Jerusalem forest and the village of Nataf. The villagers were also evacuated.

Usually this kind of terror occurs during the summer months and most often in the Jerusalem area, in Judea and Samaria. However, the current weather, with its dry strong wind, predisposes to the rapid spread of fire, which could not but inspire the "match" terrorists.

The Israeli General Security Service (SHABAK) officially announced that it considers arson to be the main cause of the disaster. The Shin Bet launched an investigation into the attack. At the same time, Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan ordered an investigation into the wave of incitement on social media and their possible connection to the arson in Israel.

In Gaza, in the territory of the Palestinian Authority, and in the Arab countries, the news of the fires in Israel caused enthusiasm and rejoicing. According to the website israinfo, Arabs in social networks organized a campaign under the hashtag "burning Israel", calling for the burning of forests and settlements in this state. Muslims on social media claim that the outbreak of fires in the Jewish state is the result of "the wrath of Allah." The Arabs write that the series of fires in Israel brought them great joy, and the events of the last days "confirm the greatness of Allah." On social networks, the Arabs express the hope that the fire will destroy strategic facilities and lead to environmental disasters, spreading to army arsenals and chemical plants. "I want to smell the barbeque of the Zionists"– wrote one of the Arab Facebook users. A statement in support of the terrorists was even made by an official of the United Arab Emirates. Dubai police chief Dahi Khalfan urged the Israeli authorities "not to anger God" and "think about a peaceful life with the Palestinians." Some of the comments were sent and against Russian rescuers. A prominent Facebook blogger from Gaza wrote: “ Russian planes, which every day burn the unfortunate Syrians with fire, are now helping to put out the Zionist fire in the occupied territories. Allah, give them more light", - 9TV quotes Arab blogs and media.

It should be noted that in October, Arab terrorists set a kind of record of attacks on civilians, military personnel and police officers in 2016. During the month, Israeli citizens survived 153 terrorist attacks, of which a third occurred in the capital.

The fire in Haifa reached residential high-rise buildings. The photo was taken by a local resident during the evacuation.

Because he's dating a Frenchman.

What are the real French women of the twenty-first century and are they so different from the Belarusians, as it seems to us - this is our today's article.

Fashion & Style

I have no purpose to dispute the fact that the words "France" and "fashion" are, if not synonymous, then certainly inextricably linked with each other. But if you go to Paris with the idea that every girl you meet will look like a picture from the cover of a magazine, you will be disappointed. In everyday life, French women try to dress discreetly and quite simply (but tastefully).

Preference is given to dark colors, and this can be seen even in the windows of fashion stores. I, a big fan of brightening up the gray Minsk days with bright colors, at first could not find anything for myself there: everything seemed gloomy and too simple. In France, there are enough sunny days so as not to try to compensate for them with bright things, and therefore in the wardrobe of French women you can most often find things in black, white, gray and dark blue. In almost any fashion store you will find T-shirts and dresses with narrow blue and white stripes, because this pattern is traditional for France: it symbolizes the clothes of sailors. The nautical theme in clothes is very popular here, because the shores of only continental France are washed by two seas (Mediterranean and North), the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel, and what can we say about its overseas territories!

The younger generation of French women wear skinny jeans at any time of the year, beautifully fitting their slender legs. Further, the wardrobe varies depending on the season and weather. In spring and summer, girls in black jackets and white T-shirts will walk everywhere, sometimes with different inscriptions. Shoes, as a rule, are chosen comfortable - sneakers or sneakers, often white. In the very heat, girls change into short overalls made of light, light-colored fabrics (in recent years, this garment has been at the height of fashion in France). On the feet - all the same sneakers or sandals.

With the advent of cold weather, the French women take out comfortable parkas from the closets, and when their feet with bare ankles begin to freeze, they are shod in black or brown ankle boots. Everything is again practical, comfortable and without heels.

French women, among other things, have a special talent for “expensively” wearing cheap things. Here it is considered bad manners if you can guess the brand of clothing and accessories, if the thing just screams about its price. The main indicator of good style will be how you wear the item and what you combine it with.

Here there are no such severe winters as we have, and therefore no one wears thick tights, mittens, fur coats and fur boots. Coming to France in winter, I was sometimes surprised to notice people in sneakers and jeans, ending in the middle of the ankle and leaving part of the leg completely bare. With the same surprise, my boyfriend's family members looked at my solid Belarusian down jacket, touched the fur on the hood and joked about the cold Russian-Belarusian winters.

Older ladies are real examples of style. Only in France, it seems to me, you can meet such elegant grandmothers slowly walking along the lake arm in arm with their no less elegant grandfathers. They show that for them, life has just begun in retirement and now they really enjoy it. Such ladies prefer classic trousers with comfortable shoes and spacious jumpers, blouses and pullovers to jeans, they put on an elegant coat of a calm, “powdered” shade over them. The picture is completed with tastefully selected scarves and dogs mincing nearby.

What is surprising for me is that almost no skirts and dresses are worn here. All girls and women walk around in jeans and trousers, and if you meet a girl in a skirt and high heels, you can safely speak Russian with her.

I prefer feminine clothes, because I feel much more attractive in them, and in France I do not change my habits either. Sometimes I get into very pleasant situations because of this.

For example, there is no such rule in the SDA that the driver must give way to a pedestrian at an unregulated crossing. You always have to be careful and wait for the cars to stop. But as soon as I leave the house in a skirt, I never wait for a long time: cars stop instantly.

Relationships and family

French women are very freedom-loving ladies. For them, career and personal development are priorities, and against this background, they are already thinking about their personal lives. They are in no hurry to get married and have children, preferring to get on their feet first. Some time ago, all these trends led to the fact that marriage as an institution began to die, and then the government took an interesting step: they created another type of official relationship - the so-called "civil union agreements", which stands between ordinary cohabitation and marriage.

Initially, such agreements were in demand among homosexual couples, but then spread to a wider section of society. From the legal side, such a union is in many ways equivalent to marriage, but it is much easier to conclude and terminate it. At the moment, 72 percent of couples are officially married, and of the remaining twenty-eight percent, 7 million are cohabiting or dating and 1.4 million are in such agreements.

A frame from the film "Midnight in Paris" is illustrative

At the same time, the number of agreements concluded each year has already equated to the annual number of marriages. It was amazing for me to learn about this kind of living together, and I myself would hardly have gone for it. But I can understand why so many choose it in our world, which strives for simplification in everything.

French women marry much later than Belarusians: the average age for them is 30.5 years (for Belarusians - 25.6), and for men - 32.3 years (for Belarusians - 27.8). At the same time, French women give birth to their first child on average at the age of 28.5 years (for Belarusians - 25.1 years). French women are most often protected by oral contraceptives, in second place are intrauterine devices, and only in third are condoms. Hormonal contraception girls have been using since school, while social insurance pays 65% of the cost of such means (everything except condoms).

Dogs, in principle, can be called a real passion of the French. In any city, you will meet young people on an evening jog with a pet happily running nearby, as well as elderly couples walking slowly, accompanied by a small four-legged friend. Dogs are allowed in many cafes, rooms are equipped in hotels, where you can also check in with your beloved dog for an extra charge. And each pet has his little passport, where all the information about him is recorded.

One of the famous French animal rights activists - Brigitte Bardot

With such a large number of dogs in the cities, it is still relatively clean, and this is because poles with disposable bags are placed everywhere, which allow you to immediately clean up after your pet.

And, of course, French women go on vacation. Their favorite holiday destination is Spain, but it is worth noting that they also like to go to rather exotic places for us: among the most popular destinations, for example, Morocco and Tunisia. In general, French women love to relax, and they do it with great pleasure.

Although our cultures and mentalities differ significantly, in general, French women are the same as us. In our minds, France is strongly romanticized, so you should not think that it is good where we are not. It's just that this is a completely different society, but would you be comfortable in it - another question.

Many consider French women to be style standards, modest coquettes and romantic natures. Now forget the stereotypes! Independent, liberated in sex and bad housewives - the ZagraNitsa portal will tell the whole truth about femme française

French "chic"

The first thing that any man imagines at the mention of French women is mystery and hidden sexuality. Fantasy immediately draws a fragile girl dressed in an elegant dress (and be sure to wear a beret!), Slowly sipping a cigarette. She wears only elegant high-heeled shoes and languidly says something a la "cherchet la femme" in her "français". Yes, many men think so, but not those who have ever been to France. The first thing that disappoints when meeting a real Frenchwoman is the clothes. No heels (of course, unless you're on a formal occasion), hardly a skirt (French women prefer trousers), and of course no beret. But the cigarette is very likely. Girls in Paris, like in many other cities, wear jeans and sneakers, and make-up is used to a minimum. They do not cling to false nails and do not spend half a day in beauty salons. For men who value natural beauty, French women will be in favorites!

Igor Bedrinov:

I love deliberate French carelessness in clothes. We would call it “I fell off a dump truck”, but it looks very organic, beautiful and stylish. French women do not inject acid into their lips, do not fill tattooed eyebrows, do not increase their hair, nails and eyelashes. Clothing style matters too. French women do not pack themselves in holiday wrapping when they go to the supermarket for bread. Bright makeup and heels - only on special occasions

La femme fatale, or the real "femme fatale"

France is considered the birthplace of romance, and the French language is the most beautiful and sexy. Accordingly, French women seem to us to be modest and romantic ladies. Therefore, you will be surprised when a girl approaches you with an offer to meet or spend an evening together, and often a night. For a French woman, there is nothing wrong with taking the first step. She will not wait by the sea for the weather and wonder when you will approach her or even pay attention to her. The scheme is simple: if you want, you take the initiative. Your communication at the first meeting may well turn into a rendezvous at your place or at her place. One-night stands in France are also commonplace.

Igor Bedrinov:

If a French woman liked a man, she would not wait until he was the first to pay attention to her, but would go on the attack herself. The same can be said about sex.

Vladimir Dubrovsky:

French women do not expect initiative from a man. They flirt, drink coffee on the terraces and smoke. They rarely get depressed, they love white wine and jogging in parks.

Alexei:

French women are very liberated in terms of sex. It's perfectly normal for them to have relationships only for intimate encounters.

Independence

You can talk a lot about the fact that French women are pure feminists, and at the same time argue whether this is right or not. But the fact is that women in France are very independent. And they don't show it off. It’s just that it’s considered normal for them to pay the bill in the restaurant themselves and not poke their fingers into the window, demanding another (and probably unnecessary) thing from the man.

Igor Bedrinov:

French girls, due to cultural and mental differences with Slavic ones, are more independent. They will not demand that a young man pay for their dinner or a bill from a beauty salon. But at the same time, they rarely behave like complaisant Slavic women: these are relationships on an equal footing.

Alexei:

French women are very independent! Sometimes it is very difficult to pay for a girl in a restaurant. They're not used to being given flowers - some can't even remember when it was last.

Don't be modest. French women look good because they are sure that they are the most stylish and elegant women in the world. It's a bit arrogant, but effective.

• Do you have shortcomings? Everyone has them. However, the secret of French women is not only that they worry less than others about their shortcomings, but also that they make shortcomings their winning features. You can only do this if you are confident in yourself. Therefore, you need to become confident in yourself and love all of yourself!

Buy quality clothes. Rather than spending your clothing budget on as many items as possible, spend it well on one or two quality items that you can afford, say, once a season. French women don't wear messy clothes, they hate cheap fabrics, and they prefer stylish classics to quirky style.

• Even your sportswear should be well made and look neat.
• It is right to follow fashion, but still do not turn into a “fashion victim”. Find your specific style and stick to it.

Pay attention to how you dress in an informal setting. French women look good even when relaxed. For a working French woman, coming home from work can mean taking off her jacket and jewelery and putting on a cashmere sweater and trousers for a "more relaxed look." In other words, stay elegant even when you are relaxed.

Wear only the highest quality underwear and sleepwear. French women love the luxury of fine lace, satin and silk in linen and sleepwear.

• Exquisite linen is considered suitable for relaxation. Especially on a Sunday morning with croissants.

Thinking through the details is just as important as choosing the rest of the outfit. For example, your accessories and shoes should be: elegant, of good quality and tasteful. You can never remember the details belatedly, they are part of a carefully thought out image.

• Shoes should be of high quality and expensive.
• Scarves should match the clothes. Some should be made from the highest quality materials, be elegant and not too flashy.
• Your earrings and necklaces should be of high quality and should not be replicas of existing pieces.

Be well groomed. French women never leave home untidy. Proper care of appearance is the basis that helps to always be flawless and elegant. Such care is a guarantee that the ugly girl will look beautiful.

• Find the right beauty products for you and use them regularly. French women love their makeup. Even if you don't use make-up, get cleansing and moisturizing beauty products. Use an anti-wrinkle cream according to your age, both for moral support and for its effect on the skin.
• Gray hair is fine, as long as it is well cut and groomed. If you need to dye your hair, do it discreetly so that no one will notice. In fact, no matter your age, never color your hair in a way that is obvious. No French woman would do that.
• Good skin is important. Nourish your skin by eating healthy, nutritious foods.
• Makeup should be simple and elegant. A thick layer of makeup is unacceptable.
• You must have a manicure and pedicure. Is always. No excuses.
• Don't hate people or your life. It will show on your face.
