French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann has won the primary of the French social-democratic camp, taking 66.17% of the vote in the first round of a contest that drew 120,787 voters, the organisers announced. The leader of the Place publique party is far ahead of Socialist Party chief Olivier Faure, who secured 14% of the vote. Ségolène Royal, a prominent Socialist figure and former presidential candidate in 2007, who had hoped to spring a surprise, finished third with less than 8% of the vote. The two other candidates, Jérôme Guedj…
Published on 11/10/2026 – 20:48 GMT+2 The global broadcast of Shakira’s concert in Madrid has become the most-watched live performance by a female artist on Amazon Music, according to Claire Imoucha, head of Amazon Music in Spain, speaking in an interview with ‘RTVE’. The broadcast allowed viewers to follow the show for free from different countries via Amazon Music, Prime Video and Twitch.

The production, coordinated over several months between the…
“This result expresses something strong: that a left that is faithful to its values can unite, govern and win,” the MEP wrote online. “We are here to win the presidential election: Turn the page on Macronism, stop the far right and change our lives,” he added. But Glucksmann, a staunch supporter of Ukraine and a critic of China, now faces a much greater challenge: how to beat the far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The head of the France Unbowed party is surging in the polls, with the latest Ifop survey giving him 14% to 17% support, compared to 11% for Glucksmann.…
Tens of thousands of people marched Sunday through the Belgian capital Brussels to the EU’s headquarters to demand greater action to combat climate change ahead of a major UN summit. Record heatwaves across Europe this month have raised concerns about the impact that man-made climate change is having on the continent. Delegates from around the globe will gather in the Turkish resort town of Antalya next month for the annual COP gathering. But expectations are low that the meeting will yield any major breakthroughs, as the United States under Donald Trump has disengaged from the process and momentum is waning…
Nepal’s authorities ordered evacuations along the Budhi Gandaki River on Sunday, 11 October, after sudden flooding swept away homes and other buildings in the country’s mountainous north-central region. Villagers fled to higher ground as the swollen river surged through narrow valleys. Aerial footage released by the Nepal Army showed floodwaters racing between mountains and residents being evacuated to safety. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority warned communities to remain alert until late Sunday. No deaths were immediately reported, although several people were listed as missing. Preliminary accounts suggested the flooding was triggered when a landslide blocked the river…
Published on 11/10/2026 – 18:05 GMT+2 The eviction operations carried out by the state security forces began shortly after 8:00 am on the Guano beach in Ceuta, where around 400 migrants were still present following the wave of illegal immigration from Morocco that brought more than 70,000 people at the end of July. The operation was made up largely of officers from the National Police, the Spanish riot units, immigration staff and members of the Civil Guard and local police. The procedure was similar to the two previous clearances on Tarajal and Trampolín beaches. The migrants were grouped together and…
Emmanuel Macron is bidding farewell to the Paris Motor Show. The French President will head to the Paris event this Monday, a biennial gathering he has never missed, for his final visit as head of state. It will be an opportunity for the man who declared in 2023 that he “loved” cars to take stock of his record in this strategic sector. Macron insists that the car industry is “at the heart” of French manufacturing, providing 400,000 direct jobs nationwide. The presidency particularly points to ramping up electric vehicle production and the emergence of a national battery industry. Before 2017,…
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul also reaffirmed his country’s support for Zelenskyy Sunday, while calling for greater pressure on Moscow to return to peace talks. “We need continued consistency and clarity on the side of Ukraine,” he told Reuters at a meeting of the governing Christian Democrats. The show of support comes after Zelenskyy and Trump traded barbs Saturday following Washington’s decision to ease diesel sanctions on Russia. “I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president,” Trump told reporters at the White House as he criticized Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil facilities. On Sunday, the Ukrainian president…

According to Kuleba, any attempts at negotiating with Putin, or pushing for peace, are a waste of time. “The sooner we come to terms with reality, the better policies we can develop to address it,” he said. He noted that while Europe’s political culture is based on “a win-win approach” in which both sides can benefit, Putin’s outlook is very different: “For him, a solution that benefits both sides is not the best option. For him, the world works on the principle of victory and defeat. One side has to win and the other has to lose,” said Kuleba. The…
