Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s far-right Front National, is expected to face charges of incitement to racial hatred in France after the European parliament voted to lift her parliamentary immunity.

The French state prosecutor in Lyon had asked the European parliament to lift Le Pen’s protection from prosecution as an MEP so she could face charges over a speech in 2010 in which she likened Muslim street prayers to the Nazi occupation of France.

She likened the outside prayers to an occupation and added: “For those who like to talk about world war two, to talk about occupation, we could talk about, for once, the occupation of our territory. There are no armoured vehicles, no soldiers, but it is an occupation all the same, and it weighs on people.”

Previously she had said of street prayers: “Very clearly, like in 1940, some think that they can behave in France in 2010 like an occupying army in a conquered country.”

If there are any legal experts here, I have a question. At what point in the trial does the prosecution normally call witnesses who support their case?

Bolivian President Evo Morales’s plane has been diverted to Austria amid suspicion that US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden is on board, the Bolivian foreign minister has said.

Officials in both Austria and Bolivia said Mr Snowden was not on the plane.

France and Portugal reportedly refused to allow the Bolivia-bound flight to cross their airspace.

Mr Snowden is said to have applied for asylum in 21 countries to avoid extradition to the US.

Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca told reporters on Tuesday that France and Portugal had closed their airspace over the “huge lie” that Mr Snowden, 30, was on board.

“We don’t know who invented this lie, but we want to denounce to the international community this injustice with the plane of President Evo Morales,” he said.

I go to the movies about once a year now. On Sunday I saw Superman.

Despite the Arctic theme, there was not the tiniest hint of any liberal BS about global warming. They even showed a healthy Polar Bear running over some ice.

Obama is worried about the planet boiling over, while Hank Johnson is concerned that parts of it will tip over.
