Published on 9 November 2026 – 12:58 GMT+1 As Donald Trump continues his search for a new White House press secretary, following rumours of Nicki Minaj and offering the job to UFC boss Dana White, one former press secretary is going viral for some embarrassing reasons. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the current Governor of Arkansas who was Trump’s PS from 2017 to 2019, has been promoting her new book online. “My faith doesn’t just influence me – it defines me,” wrote Huckabee Sanders on her social media accounts, adding: “My new book UNAPOLOGETIC is about how our identity in Christ and…
“France will no longer accept that the Commission exercises diplomatic competences, and even less military or intelligence competencies,” she told reporters. This shrinking of EU institutions would include snipping the wings of the EEAS, according to the four National Rally officials, who were granted anonymity to speak freely. The move would put the National Rally on a collision course with pro-European parties, which see the EU’s diplomatic arm as an essential tool as the global stage becomes more competitive and more aggressive. Marine Le Pen greets the audience after a campaign rally in Orléans, France on Oct. 25, 2026. |…

The Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu wanted to respond to social anger while also taking account of employers’ concerns. At the end of a conference held on Monday morning at Matignon with representatives of employees and employers, the head of government announced several measures aimed at improving purchasing power and encouraging wage increases. The main announcement concerns the minimum wage, which will be increased by 1.6% from 1 December instead of 1 January 2027. It will thereby reach around 1,502 euros net per month, an increase of 24 euros net a month. A decree will be published shortly. “This is the…
Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman also known as Huang Le, is at the centre of an alleged Chinese intelligence operation targeting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. US intelligence agencies believe she was recruited by Beijing to gather information on the head of one of the world’s most valuable companies. The two share a surname but are not related. Little is known about Alice Huang’s background. She held a senior position at Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based data centre company that rents computing power to businesses developing and running AI systems.

Published on 9 November 2026 – 14:03 GMT+1 Paris’s iconic Crazy Horse cabaret is preparing to make its debut in Dubai, bringing its signature choreography and lighting to the United Arab Emirates in a more covered-up version of its famous show. The production, staged at the luxury Jumeirah Zabeel Saray hotel, has been adapted to meet local cultural expectations. Dancers will wear more costumes than in Paris, while retaining the cabaret’s distinctive style. Andree Deissenberg, Chief Creative and Brand Officer of Crazy Horse Paris, said the decision to continue with the project reflected the importance of carrying on with life…
Riner, who was born on the French-administered Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, told Le Parisien that he did not see himself as a candidate either on the left or the right of the political spectrum, but rather as someone well-suited to combat what he called a rising sense of dread and resignation among people both young and old. “France is a great country. It has allowed me to become the person I am today and has given me the opportunity to dream big. Today, that’s what’s missing. That ambition is gone; that hope is gone,” he told Le Parisien. The 37-year-old…
Carrying banners reading “Trump Out!”, “Trump Out Now!” and “Resist US-Led Wars!”, demonstrators marched along Kalaw Avenue in Manila on Monday 9 November against the US president’s planned visit for the 49th ASEAN Summit. In a symbolic rejection, several protesters swept images of Trump along the road with brooms while others marched behind them. “Let’s reject the visit of Donald Trump. Let’s not welcome him as a guest of honour,” one demonstrator said in Tagalog. The rally, led by the women’s group Gabriela, came days before the summit, which Manila hosts in mid-November and which the White House and Malacañang…
Published on 9 November 2026 – 12:42 GMT+1 The US government body that tests advanced artificial intelligence for safety has no permanent leader and has stopped publishing its research, according to the Associated Press. Two former government officials told the news agency that staff at the Center for Advancing Innovation and Standards for Super Intelligence (CAISSI), part of the Commerce Department, have recently been asked to report informally to a White House office. Critics say the change could politicise the centre’s work. They warn its findings could be muted to suit AI companies, which have largely been left to police…
Airlines are betting that more passengers will pay for an upgrade to their flight experience, with some carriers fitting roomier seats, bringing in Michelin-starred chefs to design onboard menus and also investing in elite airport lounges. Some airlines envisage up to 70% of passengers paying for enhanced options, if not first-or business class. That shift could mean fewer standard economy seats on many flights. The war in Iran has pushed up jet fuel costs, but airlines see premium travel as a way to boost profits over the long term. Business class seats can each take up floor space equivalent to…
