French President Emmanuel Macron has come under pressure to name a new prime minister quickly after François Bayrou lost a vote of no confidence and on Tuesday handed him his resignation. The fall of Bayrou’s government came as no surprise, because a majority in France’s hung parliament staunchly opposed Bayrou’s bid to bring down France’s spiralling debt with €44bn (£38bn) budget cuts. But Macron is still faced with one of the highest budget deficits in the eurozone and mounting criticism from political opponents. France is also facing a day of protests on Wednesday from a nebulous grassroots movement called Bloquons…
Rebels linked to the Islamic State (IS) group have killed more than 50 people at a funeral ceremony in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, officials have said. Most of the victims were hacked with machetes in the night-time assault by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) on a village in North Kivu province, officials added. This is the latest in a string of attacks linked to the ADF, raising fears that its insurgency is growing in strength. The ADF emerged in Uganda in the 1990s, accusing the government there of persecuting Muslims. It is now based across the border in DR…
Ivory Coast’s former First Lady Simone Gbagbo, 76, is the surprise inclusion in a list of five candidates who have been officially cleared to contest next month’s presidential election. She will run against President Alassane Ouattara, 83, who took power after she and her former husband, Laurent Gbagbo, were captured in a presidential bunker during the conflict that hit the country after the 2010 election. But the ex-president has been barred from contesting the poll, along with ex-Prime Minister Pascal Affi N’Guessan and ex-Credit Suisse bank CEO Tidjane Thiam. Their disqualification has raised concerns about the legitimacy of the 25…
Europe’s top car manufacturer Volkswagen on Monday presented a series of more affordable electric vehicles to take on fast-growing Chinese rivals as Germany’s troubled auto sector seeks to turn around its fortunes. The four small EVs — unveiled on home turf in Munich to coincide with the IAA auto show this week — are from the VW, Cupra and Skoda brands, with starting prices of around 25,000 euros ($29,000). Their commercial launch is set for 2026, VW said in a statement, and is part of efforts to combat Chinese carmakers which are gaining market share in Europe with their own…
Manchester City and the Premier League have reached a settlement in their dispute over the rules that govern commercial deals. City have accepted the rules governing associated party transactions (APT) are valid and binding, with both parties agreeing to terminate legal proceedings. The club had mounted a legal challenge against the Premier League, claiming new rules were “unlawful”. “Neither the Premier League nor the club will be making any further comment about the matter,” a joint statement said. City are also awaiting the outcome of a landmark disciplinary hearing after being charged by the Premier League with more than 100…
First Minister John Swinney is flying to the United States to make a fresh appeal for better trade terms for Scotch whisky. US President Donald Trump has imposed a 10% tax, known as a tariff, on whisky and most other UK goods when they enter the US market. The Scotch whisky Association (SWA) has argued for an exemption or a relaxation of the rules for the lucrative export. It is understood that both the Scottish and UK governments are supportive of that call. The SWA, which is working with the equivalent trade body in the US, has said that about…
Democrats in Congress released a note they say US President Donald Trump sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday. Lawyers for Epstein’s estate sent documents to the House Oversight Committee after they were subpoenaed earlier this year. Democratic members of the committee then posted the letter on X on Monday. It comes after the Wall Street Journal published details of the note in July. Trump said it was “a fake thing” and denied writing it. “These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don’t draw pictures,” he said at the time. The signed note says:…
France was plunged into a new political crisis with the defeat of Prime Minister François Bayrou at a confidence vote in the National Assembly. The defeat – by 364 votes to 194 – means that Bayrou will on Tuesday present his government’s resignation to President Emmanuel Macron, who must now decide how to replace him. Macron’s office said this would happen “in the coming days”. The options include naming a new prime minister from the centre-right; pivoting to the left and finding a name compatible with the Socialist Party; and dissolving parliament so new elections are held. Macron’s bitter enemies…

The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for federal agents to conduct sweeping immigration operations in Los Angeles, the latest victory for President Donald Trump’s administration at the high court. The conservative majority lifted a restraining order from a judge who found that “roving patrols” were conducting indiscriminate arrests in LA. The order had barred agents from stopping people solely based on their race, language, job or location. Trump’s Republican administration argued the order wrongly restricted agents carrying out its widespread crackdown on illegal immigration. U.S. District Judge Maame E. Frimpong in Los Angeles had found a “mountain of…

A federal appeals court in New York on Monday upheld the $83.3 million judgmentimposed on President Donald Trump for defaming former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll in 2019. “Trump has failed to identify any grounds that would warrant reconsidering our prior holding on presidential immunity. We also conclude that the district court did not err in any of the challenged rulings and that the jury’s damages awards are fair and reasonable,” the opinion said. Trump last year was ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist, for defaming her in 2019when he denied sexually…
Microsoft’s Azure cloud services were disrupted by undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea, the US tech giant says. Users of Azure – one of the world’s leading cloud computing platforms – would experience delays because of problems with internet traffic moving through the Middle East, the company said. Microsoft did not explain what might have caused the damage to the undersea cables, but added that it had been able to rerouted traffic through other paths. Over the weekend, there were reports suggesting that undersea cable cuts had affected the United Arab Emirates and some countries in Asia. Cables laid…
Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced Sunday that he will resign, following growing calls from within his party to take responsibility for a historic defeat in July’s parliamentary election. Ishiba, who took office in October, said he was stepping down as prime minister and as the head of his conservative Liberal Democratic Party. Ishiba, a 68-year-old centrist, had resisted demands from opponents further to the right within his own party to resign. He argued that he wanted to avoid a political vacuum at a time when Japan faces key domestic and international challenges, including U.S. tariffs, rising prices and growing…
