“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

Awful of the BBC. How can they distribute a video that clearly shows that the official US government narrative is a lie without also stating that it's a lie? There aren't two sides to every story. Two news angles, yes: - Reality of what happened. - Official lying cover-up. But not two sides.
