#VantageOnFirstpost Terror Threat Casts a Shadow Over the Paris Olympics | Vantage with Palki Sharma Paris is no stranger to terror attacks and threats but it has cast a shadow over the Olympics this summer. With less than 100 days to go, France now wants to move the venue of the opening ceremony from the banks of the Seine to a closed stadium. That's because a ceremony in the open could be a logistical nightmare for the country. This comes as concerns are growing that the anti-drone shield being put in place for the Games is not up to the task of protecting the French capital from a potential attack. Can Paris ensure safety and security for the Games? Palki Sharma tells you. --- Paris Olympics | Security | Seine | Anti-Drone Squad | France | Olympic Games | Firstpost | World News | Vantage | Palki Sharma #parisolympics #antidrone #squad #france #olympicgames #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews

The 2024 Paris Olympic Games will be exceedingly difficult to comprehensively secure as a result of the open-air atmosphere for major events, including the Opening Ceremonies. The massive presence of law enforcement officers along the Seine River and in proximity to the Eiffel Tower, the cessation of venue access a week in advance, and the conduct of more than one million background checks on workers, attendees, and French citizens, will all help to minimize the potential for successful threat actors. With such a large attendee population, however, prominent threats from a variety of credible threat actors remain. Without seeing the Operational Security Plan, my primary focus would concentrate on the use of chemical and biological weapons that would be easier to transport and disperse, but vastly more difficult for counterterrorist entities to detect and mitigate within an abbreviated timeframe.

011 Scandinavian Defense This chess opening is a variation of the Center Game. Here is the full move sequence with annotations: 1.e4 d5 2.Nf3 dxe4 3.Ng5 Qd5 4.d3 exd3 5.Bxd3 Qxg2 6.Be4 Qg4 7.Qxg4 Bxg4 8.Bxb7 In this variation: White sacrifices a pawn to rapidly develop pieces and gain attacking chances against Black's position. Ng5 is a sharp move aiming for quick tactics, particularly targeting the f7 square. d3 is a way to open lines and regain the pawn on e4. After 5... Qxg2, Black grabs another pawn but risks falling behind in development. White's 6. Be4 and subsequent moves target the g4 square and seek to exchange queens to capitalize on rapid development and open lines. This variation can lead to sharp play and dynamic positions where White aims to leverage the lead in development and piece activity to compensate for the material deficit. #CenterGame #ChessOpenings #TacticalChess #AggressiveChess #ChessStrategy #OpeningAnalysis #ChessTactics #RapidDevelopment #ChessMastery #GrandmasterMoves via YouTube https://lnkd.in/dcXV_5S2

All the hostages, five terrorists, and a police officer were killed. - #Aftermath: The Munich #massacre cast a #pall over the Olympics and raised serious questions about #security measures.
