Poland has officially exited Article 7, the European Union's exceptional mechanism to rein in countries that openly defy the bloc's fundamental values. The decision, previewed earlier this month and formalised on Wednesday morning, ends a long-running saga that dates back to December 2017 when the European Commission triggered Article 7 — known as the "nuclear option" because it can lead to the suspension of voting rights — over Poland's systematic erosion of judicial independence. The clash stemmed from the sweeping reforms introduced by the hard-right Law and Justice (PiS) party, which rearr...

New York (AFP) - Jurors in Donald Trump's hush money trial begin deliberating Wednesday on whether to return the first criminal conviction of a former president -- a momentous decision that could upend the November presidential election. After weeks of testimony from more than 20 witnesses, the piercing glare of the legal spotlight now shifts firmly to the anonymous 12-member panel that holds Trump's fate in its hands. After receiving final instructions from the judge, the jury will retire to consider a verdict that -- whichever way it goes -- will have an outsized impact on Trump, and the cou...

New York (AFP) - Prosecutors pleaded with jurors Tuesday to use their "common sense" and find Donald Trump guilty, as the first ever criminal trial of a former president reached its dramatic final phase. With both sides wrapping up their closing arguments, the stage is now set for the 12-member panel to begin deliberating Wednesday. Less than six months before an election in which Trump is seeking to return to the White House, the stakes are high both for the 77-year-old personally and for the country. Trump is accused of falsifying business records to reimburse his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen for...

New York (AFP) - Actor Robert De Niro on Tuesday spoke outside the New York court where Donald Trump is standing trial, branding him a dangerous "clown" who will become a dictator for life if reelected. De Niro, a longtime political activist and critic of Trump, has taken a growing role in the campaign to reelect Joe Biden, including starring in a new hard-hitting TV ad for the Democratic Party. "When Trump ran in 2016, it was like a joke," DeNiro told reporters, calling the former president a "clown" and a "tyrant." "We have a second chance, and no one is laughing now. This is the time to sto...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump arrived Tuesday for closing arguments in his New York hush money trial ahead of the jury deciding whether to make him the first criminally convicted former president and current White House hopeful in history. The defense team will start off, seeking to persuade the jury that the Republican committed no crime when he paid to bury a news story on the eve of his shock 2016 election win about an alleged sexual encounter with adult film star Stormy Daniels. Prosecutors will get the last word. They will lay out the case that Trump falsified business records to keep the...

Love. The Italian DJ Gigi D'Agostino sings so beautifully about it in the techno anthem “L'Amour Toujours”. But now the 1999 song is on the red list for some. At the Munich Oktoberfest in Germany, organisers want to ban the song to prevent racist singing by beered-up visitors as it has taken on right-wing extremist connotation in recent weeks. “We want to ban it and I will ban it”, Oktoberfest boss Clemens Baumgärtner (CSU) told the German news agency dpa. “There's no place for all that right-wing bullshit at the Wiesn,” he added, using the colloquial name for the event. The Oktoberfest is a “...

By Amélie HERENSTEIN Grenoble (AFP) - Gabriel Fortin, surnommé le "tueur de DRH", devrait être fixé sur son sort mardi ou au plus tard mercredi à l'issue d'un procès en appel requis par lui mais auquel il a obstinément refusé de participer. L'homme de 49 ans est rejugé depuis le 13 mai par la cour d'assises de l'Isère pour une équipée sanglante en janvier 2021 au cours de laquelle il avait abattu de sang-froid trois personnes et manqué une quatrième. Trois de ces victimes avaient été associées à ses licenciements dans le passé et une quatrième travaillait dans une agence Pôle emploi de Valence...

L'Amour : le DJ italien Gigi d'Agostino le chante si bien dans l'hymne techno "L'Amour Toujours". Mais celui-ci figure désormais pour certains sur la liste rouge. En Allemagne, les organisateurs de l'Oktoberfest à Munich veulent interdire cette chanson de 1999 car elle a pris une connotation d'extrême droite ces dernières semaines. "Nous voulons l'interdire et nous allons le faire", a déclaré le patron de l'Oktoberfest Clemens Baumgärtner (CSU) à l'agence de presse allemande dpa. "Il n'y a pas de place pour toutes ces conneries de droite à la Wiesn", a-t-il ajouté. L'Oktoberfest est un événeme...

New York (AFP) - The historic trial of Donald Trump enters its final act Tuesday, with closing arguments to the jury who must then decide whether to hand down the first ever criminal conviction of a former US president. Less than six months before American voters choose whether to return Trump to the White House, the stakes riding on the verdict are hard to overstate -- for the 77-year-old personally, but also for the country as a whole. Trump is accused of falsifying business records to buy the silence of porn star Stormy Daniels about a 2006 sexual encounter between them that could have dama...

New York (AFP) - Jurors will soon deliver a verdict in the New York trial of Donald Trump. Guilty or innocent, their decision will shake the United States. They must decide whether the former and perhaps future president is a criminal, just months before an election that could put him back in the White House. The panel of 12 ordinary New Yorkers will start deliberations this week and they must reach a unanimous verdict, or the case will be declared a mistrial. Here are some of the pressing questions ahead: What will jury be asked to decide?Much attention has been paid to the salacious details ...
