During a rare day off from the European leg of her "Formation" world tour, Beyoncé spent some quality time in Paris with her daughter Blue Ivy earlier this week. The pair decided it was another opportunity to twin in the fashion department, this time with a blue floral dress with bees from Gucci. With the Eiffel Tower just a hop and skip away, the mother-daughter pair posed for the most amazing photos, which were released on Bey's website on Tuesday.

French government faces security criticisms after church attack

By Chine Labbé and Michel Rose PARIS/SAINT-ETIENNE-DU-ROUVRAY, France (Reuters) - France's government faced criticism of its security record on Wednesday in the wake of revelations that one of the assailants who slit the throat of a priest at a church altar was a known would-be jihadist under police surveillance. President Francois Hollande met interfaith leaders in an effort to promote national unity. But his predecessor and potential opponent in a presidential election next year, Nicolas Sarkozy, said the government must take stronger steps to track known Islamist sympathizers. Tuesday's attackers interrupted a church service, forced 85-year-old Roman Catholic priest Father Jacques Hamel to his knees at the altar and slit his throat. As they came out of the church shouting "Allahu akbar" ("God is Greatest"), they were shot and killed by police.

His head bowed, the pope prayed in silent contemplation before meeting Holocaust survivors -- some of whom he tenderly kissed -- in front of the death wall where the Nazis summarily executed thousands of people by firing squad. Among the survivors he embraced were Helena Dunicz Niwinska, a 101-year-old woman who played the violin in the Auschwitz orchestra, as well as survivors who worked at the camp hospital or who were there as children.

You don't represent the real America. I do: Clinto To Trump

When Hillary Clinton stepped to the podium on the final night of the 2016 Democratic National Convention to accept her party’s nomination for president, she attempted to do something that Democrats have rarely, if ever, succeeding in doing. She tried to convince America that she was, as Sarah Palin would put it, the only real American in the race. “Here’s the sad truth: There is no other Donald Trump,” Clinton said. “This is it. And in the end, it comes down to what Donald Trump doesn’t get: that America is great because America is good.”
