Elon Musk snubs Paris summons over X and Grok probe

Elon Musk has failed to appear for a voluntary interview with Paris prosecutors over an investigation into his social media platform X and its AI chatbot Grok.​ Prosecutors confirmed on Monday that the first people they summoned did not show up, without naming Musk directly. They stressed that the absence of those invited for questioning would not stop the investigation from moving forward.​ French authorities opened the probe in January 2025 over allegations that X’s algorithm was used to interfere in French politics. The investigation was later expanded to cover the spread of Holocaust denial and sexual deepfakes generated by Grok.​ In February, investigators searched X’s Paris offices as part of the case, a move the company condemned as politicised and an abusive judicial act. Musk and then X chief executive Linda Yaccarino were both summoned for voluntary questioning as […]

Europe Turns Back to Nuclear Energy

Across Europe, rising gas prices and fuel costs are once again putting pressure on households and businesses. As energy bills climb, concerns are growing about the continent’s dependence on imported fossil fuels and its vulnerability to global crises. While governments like the UK have urged calm, the European Commission has advised citizens to reduce travel and work more from home to limit energy demand. Officials warn the situation could worsen, particularly depending on developments in the Middle East. This renewed pressure has brought energy independence back into focus. After the shock of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Europe is once again reassessing how it powers its economies.

French outrage over Trump’s Macron wife remark

There is growing anger in France after President Donald Trump mocked French President Emmanuel Macron by saying Macron is treated extremely badly by his wife, Brigitte. The comment was made during a private lunch and was captured in a short video that briefly appeared on official channels before being deleted. In the clip, Trump is heard saying that he called up France, Macron whose wife treats him extremely badly, adding that Macron is still recovering from the right to the jaw, a reference to a past video where Brigitte appeared to push Macron’s face on a plane. Trump copied a French accent while making the joke, which many in France saw as disrespectful and mocking. French politicians from both the ruling camp and the opposition have condemned the remarks as inappropriate and insulting to the French president and his wife. […]

Crude hits 114 as fears grow over fresh petrol price hikes in Nigeria

There are fresh concerns that petrol prices in Nigeria could rise further after Brent crude oil jumped to about 114 dollars per barrel following a sharp escalation in the United States and Israel war on Iran .

Brent crude rose by about 6.24 percent to 114.08 dollars per barrel, its highest level since May 2022, while US West Texas Intermediate crude climbed to around 96.33 dollars per barrel . […]

Rubio urges calmer US Europe ties as Trump era shocks strain Munich security talks

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says ties between the United States and Europe have reached a defining moment as leaders gather for the Munich Security Conference.​ Speaking before the meeting in Germany, Rubio said the old world order is gone and a new era in geopolitics is emerging that will force both sides to rethink their roles. He stressed that the United States and Europe remain deeply linked and must discuss how to shape their shared future.​ The annual forum in Munich comes after years of turbulence under President Donald Trump, whose harsh rhetoric and disruptive policies have shaken U.S. alliances. European partners have watched Washington topple Venezuela’s leader, threaten other Latin American governments, impose tariffs on allies and rivals and even talk about annexing Greenland from NATO partner Denmark.​ Last year at Munich, Vice President JD Vance clashed […]

EU weighs tough response to Trump’s Greenland tariffs

European Union officials and lawmakers are calling for the first ever use of the bloc’s Anti Coercion Instrument in response to new tariff threats by United States President Donald Trump over Greenland. Trump has vowed escalating tariffs on Denmark, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Britain and Norway until Washington is allowed to buy Greenland.​ The affected countries already face US tariffs of 10 and 15 percent and have each sent small contingents of military personnel to Greenland. Cyprus, which holds the rotating EU presidency, has summoned EU ambassadors to an emergency meeting in Brussels to discuss the response.​ A source close to French President Emmanuel Macron said he is working to coordinate a common European strategy and supports activating the Anti Coercion Instrument. The tool could restrict US access to public tenders in the EU or limit trade in […]

Paris court convicts ten over cyber-bullying of Brigitte Macron

A Paris court has found ten people guilty of cyber-bullying Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, over a campaign of online harassment targeting her gender, sexuality and personal life. The defendants—eight men and two women—were convicted of posting degrading and insulting remarks online, including false claims about the first lady’s gender identity and repeated attacks referencing the 24-year age difference between her and the president. The judge ruled that the group acted with a clear intention to cause harm. Most of those convicted received suspended prison sentences of up to eight months. One defendant was immediately jailed after failing to appear in court, while several others were ordered to have their social media accounts suspended. Two of the defendants, self-described independent journalist Natacha Rey and online fortune-teller Amandine Roy, had already been convicted in 2024 for slander […]

Algeria moves to label French colonisation a ‘state crime’ and seek reparations

Algeria’s parliament has advanced a landmark bill that would formally declare France’s 130 year colonisation of the country a “state crime” and hold it responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed between 1830 and 1962. Lawmakers are voting on the legislation amid a wider diplomatic rift with Paris, with supporters calling the move a historic step in the country’s quest for colonial justice.​ The draft law seeks to criminalise France’s colonial rule, classifying atrocities committed during the occupation as crimes against humanity under international law. It also makes the “glorification” of French colonialism in Algeria an offence, signalling a tougher stance on how the period is remembered and discussed in public life.​ According to texts seen by local and international media, the bill states that France bears legal responsibility for its colonial past in Algeria and for the […]
