French rappers set date for 2m-euro cage fight
Paris, — Two feuding French rappers have said they will settle their differences with a two million-euro cage fight in Switzerland in December.Bitter rivals Booba and Kaaris ended up behind bars last August after a running battle between their entourages shut down part of a Paris airport.Kaaris, 39, posted a video of himself signing the contract for the fight while he nonchalantly ate some chicken and chips with the hashtag, "The rule is that there will be no rules."Booba quickly took to social media to mock his rival."He's signed, he's signed," he said. "I wanted (the fight) to happen earlier but the diva and actress wouldn't have it. The important thing is that it happens."The ultra-violent sport of MMA (mixed martial arts) is still banned in...

Varda is star of Cannes festival poster
Paris — French movie legend Agnes Varda, who died last month, is the star of this year's Cannes film festival poster unveiled Monday, perched on the back of one of her technicians.The ever-playful director -- who passed away on March 29 aged 90 -- is pictured standing on the back of one of her crouching male crew to get a shot for her film, "La Pointe Courte".The arresting image could even be taken as a knowing comment on how the industry is finally bending to women's will after the #MeToo movement.Last year, the diminutive Varda and Hollywood star Cate Blanchett led a red-carpet protest at the festival demanding gender equality.The director is credited with inventing the French New Wave with "La Pointe Courte" in 1955, which was shot on the fly and on a...

Papa roach: Chinese farmer breeds bugs for the table
Yibin, China — As farmer Li Bingcai opened the door to his cockroach farm in southwest China, an insect the size of a dart flew into his face.Picking the critter off his forehead, he tossed it back into the dark room where some 10 million more of its kind scurried around, housed in wooden frames perched on shelves.The six-legged creatures may be a bugbear for most, but Li and other breeders in China are turning them into a niche business.Some sell cockroaches for medicinal purposes, as animal feed or to get rid of food waste.Li breeds them for something else: food for human consumption.A restaurant down the road from his small facility fries them up in famously spicy Sichuan sauce for the gutsier eaters."People don't believe how good it is until they try some," Li told AFP,...
