Published on 10/06/2025 – 5:55 GMT+2Sixteen states have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration regarding its proposal to permit the sale of forced-reset triggers, which enable semiautomatic rifles to fire at an increased rate, and return devices already seized to their owners.The lawsuit, which was announced on Monday, argues that the return of the triggers would violate federal laws, endangering both residents and law enforcement personnel, as well as potentially worsening gun violence. The suit was filed in a federal court in Maryland.There had been several legal battles over the devices, which replace the typical trigger on an AR-15-style…
“I do think that Rachel has suddenly realized that she’s wildly unpopular in the PLP,” said the same second MP quoted above, who argued her “iron chancellor” image means restive cabinet ministers — not Reeves herself — will get the credit for any extra spending. Former Conservative Chief Secretary to the Treasury Greg Hands, who was also a chief whip, said: “Spending reviews always go better if the PM and Chancellor are in a strong position. I am not really sure that Keir Starmer, and especially Rachel Reeves, are in that strong a position at the moment, and that makes…
The global literary community has also reacted in horror. Two winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature, France’s Annie Ernaux and Turkey’s Orhan Pamuk, have publicly called on Algeria to release Sansal, as has Salman Rushdie. Sansal’s main support group says the author — who in 2015 was awarded one of France’s most prestigious literary prizes, the Grand prix du roman de Académie Française — has been in and out of hospital since the beginning of the ordeal. “Sansal is very ill and we don’t know if he has access to a doctor in jail,” said Noëlle Lenoir, a former French…
The move backfired spectacularly, with an unexpectedly strong showing by an impromptu left-wing alliance beating both Macron’s electoral coalition and the RN. France’s political landscape has since been fractious, leading many to speculate Macron would be tempted to call elections again as soon as the law permits, in early July. In April Macron rubbished press reports he was planning to dissolve parliament again, saying he had never considered doing so. In Nice, where he is attending the UN Oceans Conference, Macron said he wants to see more cooperation. “The political parties who are able to form a majority in the…
Defending Italy’s citizenship laws as “excellent and also very inclusive,” Meloni said on June 5 that she was “completely against” the proposed changes. Italian public media and government politicians broadly ignored the referendum, with junior Meloni coalition member Forza Italia posting a picture on X of a swimming pool, sandals and sunglasses, saying “sorry if we didn’t post anything today, we were all at the beach.” The public was asked to vote on five issues, four of which concerned labor rights and garnered more than 85 percent support. The vote on the immigration question was closer, with around 65 percent…
Conlict broke out in early May after India accused Pakistan of sponsoring a terrorist attack that killed 26 civilians, mainly Hindus, in an Indian-administered region. Pakistan has denied sponsoring terrorism. Following days of tit-for-tat missile and aerial strikes that prompted widespread alarm about the potential for further escalation between the two nuclear-armed powers, India and Pakistan declared a ceasefire on May 10. Both sides declared victory, but their reports on how the war unfolded differed. India initially denied claims that Pakistan had shot down as many as six of its fighter jets, but a senior Indian military official later acknowledged that…
Published on 09/06/2025 – 21:01 GMT+2Equipped with high-visibility vests and lamps, a group of Dutch citizens has been carrying out their own checks at the German border, prompted by dissatisfaction with the current migration policy.The participants, who number around a dozen according to local media reports, decided to take matters into their own hands and have been engaged in border checks, videos of which have been circulating on social media. They have been applauded by right-wing politician Geert Wilders, whose PVV party withdrew from the Dutch coalition government last week after it refused to adopt his migration proposals. The same…
