PARIS — Dans les cartons depuis des mois, trois décrets viennent enfin d’atterrir sur le bureau des préfets pour renforcer leur rôle localement. Les voici plus que jamais managers et chefs d’orchestre de l’action publique dans les régions et les départements. Parmi les instruments ajoutés à la panoplie de ces hauts fonctionnaires nommés par le président sur proposition du ministre de l’Intérieur : une consultation sur les recrutements, les évaluations, les compléments de rémunération et les priorités des chefs de service territoriaux de l’Etat et des agences. Ces quelques 130 hommes et femmes auront aussi voix préalable au chapitre sur les cartes…
Hamas’ declaration that it won’t lay down its arms, even in the face of Arab League calls to do so, doesn’t help those arguing for the prioritization of civilian Palestinians either. Ordinary Gazans are caught between a militant Islamist group happy to trade their lives, and Israeli supremacists who see them as abettors of Hamas. Meanwhile, accusing French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer of antisemitism or of supporting terror is also absurd, especially considering both helped intercept ballistic missiles that Iran launched at Israel in April, Olmert explained. “Of course, the accusation of antisemitism is a…
Published on 03/08/2025 – 19:13 GMT+2 Bavaria’s Minister-President Markus Söder is shaking up the coalition agreement of Germany’s so-called black-red federal government. In a ZDF summer interview on Sunday, Söder said he is in favour of reducing benefits for certain Ukrainian refugees, who currently receive a citizen’s allowance. The German citizen’s allowance is a state welfare benefit given to those with little or no income to ensure a minimum standard of living. Söder specified that only newly arrived refugees from Ukraine should receive reduced social benefits, adding that it must be ensured that there is “no more citizen’s allowance for…
Although the Supreme Court mostly sided with banks in the historic ruling Friday, which looked at whether consumers had been missold car finance after banks paid motor brokers large commissions, judges upheld the appeal of one consumer due to the size of the commission the bank paid to the motor dealer and how it was disclosed. “Where consumers have lost out, they should be appropriately compensated in an orderly, consistent and efficient way,” the regulator said in a statement. The FCA will consult properly in October, but today set out the parameters of what a compensation scheme could look like.…
Google’s algorithm changes last year led to a plummet in search engine traffic for news websites and publishers, and even resulted in the bankruptcy of some independent publishers, including Turkey’s Gazete Duvar. The technology giant is now dealing another blow to online publishers through its artificial intelligence summaries. Google’s Artificial Intelligence Overview feature is a service offered by the internet giant to compete with artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT. The feature offers short summaries generated by Gemini that appear at the top of search results. Below the summary, there are details such as links to the source and a…

By Euronews Published on 03/08/2025 – 13:48 GMT+2 OPEC+ on Sunday agreed to boost oil production by 548,000 barrels per day from September in a move that could further reduce gas prices this year. OPEC+ had been curtailing production of oil for several years to support oil prices, but changed course earlier this year after calls by US President Donald Trump to ramp up production. Saudi Arabia holds significant influence in OPEC+ as the dominant member of the OPEC producers’ cartel, and Russia is the leading non-OPEC member in the 22-country alliance. The decision comes amid increasing US pressure to bring…
The NABU and the SABO said the scheme included a serving member of parliament, regional officials, the head of a unit of the National Guard’s military unit and a director of a company supplying drones. None of them were named in the statement. The corruption involved purchasing equipment at knowingly inflated prices for which the participants illegally received 30 percent of the contract amount, according to the agencies. A similar approach was used in FPV drone procurement, the agencies said. The revelation by the anti-corruption agencies comes after the Ukrainian leadership attempted to subject the oversight of the bodies to…
“Art always gets a sort of double sense,” said Sholette. “One hand, yes, it’s a business, but it’s almost that’s the necessary side of propping up and maintaining and collecting and preserving culture, which somehow transcends capitalism, somehow transcending mere business.” He said Art Basel’s tie-up with Qatar underscored just how much the supposed timeless quality of art had become entangled in modern finance and big business: “We actually really do see its connection to big business corporations, to the ultra wealthy, to oligarchs, Russian and otherwise. And so I think that contradiction has just kind of become very, very extreme…
