PROBLEM: (CNN) When France enacted its ban on "ostentatious symbols" in public schools in 2004, the so-called "veil ban" was justified under the guise of a warped form of European cultural relativism. It's just the French way, you see. Over the years, legislation in France has continued to encroach into the private sphere of Muslim citizens, with a keen focus on women. Muslim women in headscarves have been prohibited from working in private nurseries. Mothers in headscarves have been banned from school outings. Women in face veils are prohibited from walking the streets, using hospitals or public transport. Students in long skirts are sent home for wearing "religious clothing." Non-pork alternatives have been removed from school menus.Myriam Francois believes the burkini ban is just the latest excuse to harass MuslimsFrench legislation has been encroaching on the private sphere of Muslims for years, she says 
 Question:Today, in a France of over 5 million _, it seems that a very similar rule applies.

SOLUTION: Muslim

PROBLEM: 'Without Andy, British tennis would be in the abyss. When he goes? It's a gaping hole, isn't it?' If Mark Petchey would hardly claim to be unique in holding this view, he deserves some credit for putting it in such bleak terms. However, as the man who guided Andy Murray through his first steps in senior tennis acknowledges, simply recognising a problem is a long way from producing a solution. Petchey, whose time these days is split between trying to grow the game and sharing his knowledge as a TV pundit, firmly believes that a Davis Cup victory for Great Britain this week would stand as Murray's greatest achievement in the sport.Great Britain face Belgium in the Davis Cup final this weekend in GhentWorld No 2 Andy Murray will lead Leon Smith's sideFormer tennis star Mark Petchey believes that winning the Davis Cup could crown an incredible career for the ScotsmanPetchey fears that British tennis will fall into an abyss when Murray retires
