Europe celebrates New Year amid heightened security
BRUSSELS — People across Europe welcomed 2024 against a backdrop of heightened security concerns.Ongoing wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and tensions in parts of the world, have affected this year's New Year's Eve celebrations in a myriad of ways.Many cities in Europe were deploying extra security, and some places cancelled New Year's Eve events altogether.At the Vatican, Pope Francis recalled 2023 as a year marked by wartime suffering.During his traditional Sunday blessing from a window overlooking St. Peter’s Square, he offered prayers for “the tormented Ukrainian people and the Palestinian and Israeli populations, the Sudanese people and many others.”“At the end of the year, we will have the courage to ask ourselves how many human lives have been shattered by armed...

Venice to ban large tourist groups and loudspeakers
ROME — Venice is to ban loudspeakers and tourist groups of more than 25 people, in a bid to ease the impact of mass tourism on the Italian city.The new rules will come into effect from June, the city said in a statement.The use of loudspeakers have been banned as they can “generate confusion and disturbances”, it added.Over-tourism is widely recognized as an urgent issue for the canal city, one of the most visited places in Europe.In September, Venice approved the trial of a €5 (£4.30; $5.35) fee for daily visitors.Elisabetta Pesce, the official with responsibility for the city’s security, said the latest policies are “aimed at improving the management of groups organized in the historic center”.The city is just 7.6 sq km (2.7 sq miles) in size but it hosted almost 13...
