Alors que le doute planait encore avant le départ en vacances de la candidate du RN sur la réforme qu’elle défendrait — Jordan Bardella, lui, avait fait miroiter une proposition de réforme sans âge légal de départ, dans le cas où il aurait porté les couleurs du parti —, la quadruple candidate à l’élection suprême a répété qu’elle défendrait le principe d’un retour à un âge légal de 60 à 62 ans suivant l’âge de l’entrée sur le marché du travail. Elle a dit “assumer” le coût supposé d’une telle réforme — 9 milliards d’euros par an, selon elle —,…
Protests over security in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta escalated into clashes between locals and police on Thursday, a month after a mass influx of migrants from Morocco. Police charged protesters at a beach after a group of demonstrators moved into the area where migrants have been sleeping, with some belongings set on fire during the disturbances, images broadcast on Spanish public television showed. Earlier on Thursday, dozens of protesters staged a sit-in to temporarily prevent Red Cross vehicles from reaching the beach to distribute food to hundreds of migrants staying in the area. Demonstrators, many waving Spanish flags,…
Surveillance footage posted on Chinese social media shows a wall of mud and debris rushing towards the port, with people running as parked vehicles were surrounded by floodwater. Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said the disaster on the Nepalese side had caused major casualties and left people missing at the port. The footage, which was later removed from Chinese platforms, was verified by AFP using satellite and street-view data. The flooding came as rescue teams searched across Nepal and Tibet after a disaster along the border. On 27 August, Nepalese authorities said at least 270 people had died and 823 remained…

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Vladimir Putin is “not going to attack” NATO territory, pushing back against media reports that Washington is concerned about a possible Russian move on Europe. Trump’s comments came two days after CIA Director John Ratcliffe flew to Moscow for surprise talks that the Wall Street Journal and CBS News had said was an attempt to dissuade Russia from attacking NATO members, amid US intelligence assessments that Moscow could seek to test the alliance. “I’ve had good talks with him. He’s not going to be attacking a NATO territory,” Trump told reporters in…
US President Donald Trump on Thursday said that he would rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” in the United States, as his trade dispute with Canada intensifies. The Republican president signed an executive order directing the US agency responsible for geographic names to update the lake’s name. The order applies only in the United States, meaning Trump cannot require Canada to adopt the new name. The move echoes Trump’s decision last year to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America”. Trump signed the order at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, with a large map of the Great…
For years, small parcels from China have been flooding European letterboxes. Clothes, accessories, gadgets and everyday items ordered on Shein, Temu or AliExpress were arriving directly at consumers’ homes, often for just a few euros. A system, an invasion for some, that the European Union is now starting to seriously rein in. Since 1 July, parcels worth less than or equal to 150 euros have been subject to a flat customs duty of 3 euros per product category. Until now, these small consignments were exempt from customs duties. And the impact has been swift. According to French customs figures cited…
The news was also reported by Reuters, citing a U.N. official. Known as the “Butcher of Bosnia”, Mladić led the Bosnian Serb army, which turned eastern Bosnia into the site of the worst crimes during the Yugoslav disintegration wars of the 1990s. Thousands of people, mainly Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats, were murdered, tortured and displaced by his armed forces with the goal of creating an ethnically pure territory for Serbs. Mladić went into hiding after the end of the Bosnian War in 1995 and remained a fugitive for nearly 16 years. He was arrested by Serbian authorities in 2011 and…
After a summer of record heatwaves, devastating wildfires and drought, environmental researchers are urging European Union countries to step up efforts to restore ecosystems ahead of a 1 September deadline while flagging a €65 billion annual shortfall in the bloc’s nature restoration funds. EU capitals have just days left to submit their draft nature restoration plans to the European Commission, as mandated by the bloc’s Nature Restoration Regulation. The appeal comes after Spain and France lost thousands of hectares to raging wildfires and Hungary and Romania had to shut down part of their nuclear power plants as water levels in…
