Les dernières réflexions de Musk sur X lui ont valu une réprimande du ministre travailliste Andrew Gwynne. “Elon Musk est un citoyen américain et devrait peut-être se concentrer sur les questions qui se posent de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique”, a-t-il déclaré à la radio LBC. Mais, plus tard, le patron de Gwynne, le ministre de la Santé Wes Streeting, a tendu la main au boss de Tesla lors d’une interview, démontrant ainsi la tension qui règne au sein du gouvernement britannique quant à la question de savoir s’il faut ou non irriter davantage le milliardaire. Streeting a considéré que les…
“The last couple of times that I landed in Australia, to go through passport control and immigration — I had a bit of trauma from three years ago,” Djokovic told Australian media. “Some traces still stay there when I’m passing passport control, just checking out if someone from [the] immigration zone is approaching. The person checking my passport — are they going to take me, detain me again or let me go?” he added. “I must admit I have that feeling.” Australia had some of the world’s strictest measures to contains the pandemic, including vaccine mandates and lengthy lockdowns. For…
Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, and, since launching its full-scale offensive in 2022, now controls large swaths of territory in eastern Ukraine. The French president’s comments come as Europe prepares for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who is pushing for a quick end to the war in Ukraine, to take office on Jan. 20. Macron also said the United States should help bring Russia to the negotiation table, and that Europeans should provide Ukraine with security guarantees as their responsibility. However, the French president also warned against hoping for a swift resolution of the conflict. “There won’t be a quick solution,”…
The Damascus med-school dropout has also had somewhat of a sartorial makeover in recent years, swapping the Osama bin Laden-look for a neatly trimmed beard and green fatigues à la Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, or corporate blazers and chinos. “A person in their twenties will have a different personality than someone in their thirties or forties, and certainly someone in their fifties. This is human nature,” he assured CNN on the eve of Assad’s fall. But withholding his hand suggests something about where exactly Shar’a might be on the spectrum of radical political Islam, as well as the limits of…
The man who drove a truck into a crowd of people in New Orleans on New Year’s Day wore Meta glasses to scout the scene in October. A man who killed 14 people in New Orleans on New Year’s Day previously scouted the area and recorded video with his Meta smart glasses, the FBI said.Shamsud-Din Jabbar recorded video with the glasses in October as he cycled through the French Quarter and plotted the attack, according to Lyonel Myrthil, FBI special agent in charge of the New Orleans field office.During the attack, Jabbar drove a pickup truck through a crowd on…
Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev on Monday once again blamed Russian officials for the plane crash that killed 38 people on Christmas Day and called for them to be punished. “I can say with confidence that the blame for the fact that Azerbaijani citizens died in this disaster lies with the representatives of the Russian Federation,” Aliyev said on Monday at a meeting with family members of the crew killed in the plane crash.“We demand justice, we demand punishment for those responsible, we demand complete transparency and human[e] behavior,” the Azerbaijani leader added. Aliyev’s fierce criticism signals a rift in previously…
Musk appeared to confirm the talks Monday, writing on X that he is “Ready to provide Italy the most secure and advanced connectivity!” in response to a post by Andrea Stroppa, Musk’s representative in Italy. In a statement, Meloni’s office denied that any contracts had been signed or agreements concluded between SpaceX and the Italian government to use the Starlink satellite system, but it confirmed talks are taking place. “Talks with SpaceX form part of the normal dialogue that the government has with companies, in this case with those that offer protected connections for encrypted communications,” her office said. However, Meloni “categorically” denied that…
The next person in the European Commission’s line of succession if President Ursula von der Leyen is incapacitated is Executive Vice President Teresa Ribera, the EU executive’s spokesperson said Monday. The question of who would lead the Commission if von der Leyen has to step away from her duties arose after the president’s spokesperson last week announced she has “severe pneumonia” and had canceled her engagements in the first half of January. While there has been “no need to designate” a stand-in for von der Leyen, “in the order of replacement, the next colleague and member of the college would…

On Epiphany, the faithful gather by the Danube for the sacred water consecration and a tradition where young participants dive into the river to catch the cross thrown by the Archbishop. With warmer temperatures, modern techniques are now used to carve the crosses from ice.
Certains chercheurs ont souligné que les racines de Big Disinfo, forgées dans une révolte partisane contre Trump, ont conduit à des prescriptions de discours manifestement unilatérales. “Les chercheurs en désinformation n’ont pas transcendé les origines partisanes du discours de désinformation pour développer une procédure impartiale et fiable permettant de séparer la désinformation de la véritable information”, a écrit Joseph Uscinski, professeur de sciences politiques à l’université de Miami, en 2023. Il en résulte une “tendance involontaire” du domaine de recherche “à prendre parti dans les débats politiques polarisés qu’il tente d’étudier” et une “pathologisation asymétrique de ce que nous, les…
