DAMASCUS Nike Vapormax Plus , Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- U.S.-led airstrikes at the Islamic State (IS) group's Syrian stronghold Raqqa in March killed at least 84 civilians, including dozens of children, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said Monday.
The organization said the strikes hit two sites: a school housing displaced families in the town of Mansourah Nike Vapormax , and a market and bakery in the town of Tabqa.
It said witnesses acknowledged that IS fighters had been present at both sites, but that large numbers of civilians were also there.
"These attacks killed dozens of civilians, including children Nike Air Vapormax Plus Triple Black Sale , who had sought shelter in a school or were lining up to buy bread at a bakery," HRW deputy emergencies director Ole Solvang said.
The HRW said the first of the two strikes was on March 20, and killed at least 40 people including 16 children at the Badia School in Mansourah. The second was on March 22 and killed at least 44 people including 14 children at the Tabqa market and bakery.
The U.S.-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes in support of anti-IS operations in Syria since September 2014 Nike Air Vapormax Plus Triple White Sale , after expanding its existing campaign in neighboring Iraq.

COPENHAGEN， March 26 (Xinhua) -- Denmark's most visited zoo in the capital city of Copenhagen unveiled on Sunday the design of a planned enclosure for two giant pandas that are scheduled to come to Denmark from China around the end of next year.
The Panda House is a brainchild of Copenhagen Zoo in collaboration with two local architects and landscape companies， Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and Schonherr AS.
According to BIG， the design of the enclosure begins with a circular shape， formed by the surrounding existing facilities. The site will be divided into two parts， following the yin-yang symbol from China's traditional philosophy and creating separate enclosures for male and female pandas.
"The Panda House is designed to feel like the humans are the visitors in the pandas' home， rather than the pandas being exotic guests from faraway lands，" according to a BIG presentation.
"The habitat creates the freest and most naturalistic possible environment for their lives and relationship with each other， having the freedom to roam about and the ideal conditions to mate，" it added.
According to Copenhagen Zoo， director and CEO Steffen Straede， the Panda House will be located on the site where it is now the old Elephant House， a 103-year-old building that has been empty since the new elephant house was put into use.
"It means that the old Elephant House that has been empty since 2008 will be demolished to make room for the two prestigious zoo animals and a brand new recreation area for guests，" said Straede.
He added that it has not been a simple decision to demolish the iconic building down， but a restoration would be too costly.
Construction of the Panda House will begin in November this year and last for 12 to 13 months. It is estimated that the whole project will need an investment of around 125-150 million Danish kroner (18-22 million U.S. dollars)， said Straede， noting that he is still in search of funds and investors who want to be part of the project.
"We expect to attract guests from all over the world， and for me it is clear that the high-profile animals like the pandas call on an ambitious facility that will attract international attention，" Straede said.
China and Denmark have agreed on the giant panda rental program during Queen Margrethe II's state visit to China in 2014.
Straede said this has embodied the long-term friendship and cooperation between the two nations， and hoped that the arrival of the two animals by the end of next year would help more Danes better know and understand China.
"We hope in the future we'll be more engaged in China's nature reservation efforts with our knowledge，" Straede said.
"For us it is not only about panda but also about Denmark and China，" he added.
MADRID, July 16 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid is the most valuable sporting club in the world according to Forbes Magazine.
The Magazine published its rankings of the most valuable sporting institutions on Wednesday with the Spanish football club topping the rankings for the fourth consecutive year.
Forbes estimates Real Madrid to be worth 2,890 million euros (3 Nike Air Vapormax Plus Black Sale ,263 million US dollars), 33.8 million dollars less than in 2014.
Second and place in the Forbes list are occupied by the American football club, the Dallas Cowboys Nike Air Vapormax Plus White Sale , and baseball team, the New York Yankees, who are both worth an estimated 2 Nike Air Vapormax Plus Sunset Sale ,922 million euros.
Meanwhile Real Madrid's bitter rivals, FC Barcelona have fallen from second to fourth in the list with a value of 2,890 million euros.
That will not be of too much concern to supporters of the Catalan club who last season were able to enjoy seeing how their club got the better of Real Madrid on the field of play winning an historic second treble of Champions League Nike Air Vapormax Triple Black Sale , BBVA Primera Liga and Spain's King's Cup.
