Marseille, France’s second city, is. And the incumbent center-left candidate there faces a serious challenge from the National Rally. Other southern cities such as Nice, Toulon and Nîmes are also far-right targets, so keep an eye on those to get a sense of whether voters are ready to hand Le Pen or Jordan Bardella the keys to the Elysée next year.

Published on 15/03/2026 – 8:00 GMT+1 Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool designed to help doctors identify patients who may be at risk of intimate partner violence (IPV), potentially years before victims seek help.

Intimate partner violence refers to abuse from current or former partners and can lead to severe injuries, chronic pain, and mental health disorders. According to a report from the European Commission, 18 percent of women who had ever had…
By Anna Wiederkehr and Erin Doherty Many Americans give their country positive reviews. Some of the United States’ closest allies give far less flattering ratings. The POLITICO Poll, conducted across five countries, reveals a stark disconnect between how Americans see their country and how several top allies do.

Some of the world’s greatest cities have been inhabited for thousands of years, building upon layers of history that mean you could find something from the Roman Empire next to a glass-clad skyscraper. While these contrasts are charming for visitors, the streets of old don’t necessarily work with the demands of modern day life. Enter: The purpose-built city. Built from scratch, city designers can work in grid patterns to make sure residents have easy access to things like schools, supermarkets and health clinics, and they can also be built to accommodate the anticipated amounts of traffic. Some countries have gone…
Yet, Tisza is sure this time will be different, partly because it’s fielding local star László Gajdos as its main candidate here. Hungarians cast two votes — one for the national party list and another for their preferred candidate in single-member district constituencies. Of the 199 seats in the National Assembly, 106 are filled by winners of the district races, while the remaining 93 seats are distributed among winners of the party lists. And Gajdos, a highly popular director of the Nyíregyháza Zoo, is running on both. Even pro-Fidesz observers like Mráz Ágoston Sámuel, director of the research consultancy Nézőpont…

Envoys had been unable to secure an agreement during all-day talks on Friday, launching a written procedure on Saturday to finalize the terms of the rollover. Capitals are hoping for a breakthrough on the EU’s forthcoming package…
