But this presents Bibi with a problem. For Trump, money speaks louder than anything else, and Gulf leaders will be looking for quid pro quos. Ending the war in Gaza will be high on their list — a war that Bibi, largely for the maintenance of his own rambunctious coalition and to avoid elections, is determined to continue, if not expand. The Gulf countries have also underlined, time and again, the need for a return to two-state negotiations. Saudi leaders, for instance, have insisted there can be no “normalization” of relations with Israel without clear diplomatic movement in that direction.…

Youtubeur sportif ou politique ? Ces derniers mois, Thibaud Delapart, alias Tibo InShape sur Internet, a pris le parti de faire les deux et de l’assumer. Après une première vidéo au mois de janvier pour parler de ses idées à ses 26 millions d’abonnés, c’est directement à Emmanuel Macron que le vidéaste le plus suivi de France s’adressera ce mardi soir, lors d’un grand oral présidentiel sur TF1. Au cœur de son intervention : la place du sport à l’école et la jeunesse, selon un membre de son équipe à POLITICO.  Une quasi consécration pour l’influenceur, devenu peu à peu…

The future of testing and prevention programs is even less certain. They are affected not only by dwindling commodities such as rapid test kits but also by new U.S. rules on diversity, equity, and inclusion and reproductive health.  The Chernihiv testing service worked with HIV-vulnerable groups like men who have sex with men and people involved in sex work, who fall into new exclusions. In early April the service restarted on a smaller scale and with a new policy. “Now we don’t highlight the groups that raise concerns,” Moiseyenko said. Although planned to run until 2026, the service’s funding has…

Despite his troubles, Nawrocki strikes a chord with the nationalist, religious and more conservative voters who are PiS’s core supporters. Adriana, 49, a teacher from Warsaw, says she’s been worse off with Trzaskowski as mayor since 2018. “Nawrocki represents views close to mine: Christian, Catholic. Even if not everything about him appeals to me, at least I know who he is. With Trzaskowski, I don’t know what values he will say he stands for tomorrow,” she said, asking not to give her full name. “I also think not all power should belong to the government coalition because I think they govern Poland poorly,” she added.…

Meanwhile, the main opposition party, the Democrats — who look to have secured around 52 seats in the parliament — blamed the outcome on what they called the Socialist Party’s entrenched grip on institutions and alleged efforts to sway voters. “If tens of thousands of people are employed in return for their vote … if the polling stations are surrounded by party loyalists on all sides … then we know what to call these elections,” Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha said in a statement. Hoping to stage a political comeback akin to Trump’s 2024 return, Albania’s center-right Democratic Party brought on…

Counterterror police are involved in the probe and the fire is being treated as suspicious. While Starmer is based in Downing Street as prime minister, he still retains his north London residence. A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “Firefighters were called to a small fire outside a property” in Kentish Town Monday morning, adding: “Two fire engines from Kentish Town Fire Station attended the scene.” A Metropolitan Police statement said: “On Monday, 12 May at 1.35 a.m., police were alerted by the London Fire Brigade to reports of a fire at a residential address.” Downing Street said the prime minister…

A Bulgarian man who was found to be the ringleader of a Russian spy circle in the United Kingdom has been sentenced to more than 10 years in prison.Orlin Roussev, 47, headed a group of five fellow Bulgarians who prosecutors said put lives in danger as they carried out operations in the UK, Germany, Austria, Spain and Montenegro between 2020 and 2023 on behalf of Russian intelligence.The group targeted reporters, diplomats and Ukrainian troops and discussed kidnapping or killing Kremlin opponents in what Commander Dominic Murphy, the counterterrorism chief at London’s Metropolitan Police, said was “industrial-scale espionage on behalf of…

Selon cette ordonnance du 17 novembre 1958, toute personne dont une commission d’enquête a jugé l’audition utile est tenue de s’y rendre. Ne pas comparaître est, théoriquement, passible de deux ans d’emprisonnement et de 7500 euros d’amende. Or, les convocations de membres du cabinet de la présidence de la République sont toujours litigieuses, en raison de la distinction qu’opère la Constitution entre le gouvernement, “responsable devant le Parlement”, et les prérogatives de l’Elysée. Laure Beccuau donne ainsi raison à la présidence de la République, qui avait invoqué le principe de la séparation des pouvoirs pour motiver le refus de Kohler.…
