Bataclan reopens with Sting concert, year after paris attacks

In France, the Bataclan concert hall in Paris has reopened with a performance by Sting, a year after Islamist militants killed 89 people at the venue. The British singer told the audience, including survivors, that they had to honour the dead and celebrate life.<br/><br/>There was a minute's silence for those killed in the French capital by jihadists from so-called Islamic State. The co-ordinated attacks in Paris in 2015 left 130 people dead. Sting will donate the proceeds from the show, which took place on the eve of the first anniversary of the attacks, to two survivors' charities.
