New York (AFP) - Music streaming giant Spotify has been sued in a US federal court for allegedly underpaying songwriters, composers and publishers by tens of millions of dollars. The lawsuit against Spotify USA was filed in New York on Thursday by the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC), a non-profit that collects and distributes royalties owed from music streaming services. The suit alleges that Spotify on March 1, without advance notice, reclassified its paid subscription services, resulting in a nearly 50 percent reduction in royalty payments to MLC. "The financial consequences of Spotify...

Washington (AFP) - A US Supreme Court justice faced calls on Friday to recuse himself from cases involving Donald Trump after an inverted American flag -- a symbol of the former president's false election fraud claims -- was flown outside his home. A January 2021 photograph of the upside-down flag outside the Alexandria, Virginia house of archconservative Justice Samuel Alito was published by The New York Times on Thursday. The report has intensified scrutiny of the conservative-dominated nation's highest court as it prepares to rule on the scope of the former president's immunity from prosecu...

By Selim SAHEB ETTABA Washington (AFP) - C'est un drapeau volontairement hissé à l'envers qui vient aggraver les soupçons de partialité de la Cour suprême américaine: Ce symbole trumpiste photographié en 2021 au domicile d'un juge embarrasse l'institution au moment où elle doit statuer sur l'immunité pénale invoquée par l'ex-président. Plusieurs élus démocrates ont appelé vendredi ce magistrat très conservateur, Samuel Alito, à se récuser de tout dossier lié au scrutin de 2020 ou à l'assaut du Capitole le 6 janvier 2021. Ils lui demandent notamment de ne pas statuer sur l'immunité pénale invoq...

The German climate ministry plans to review Thursday's court ruling that the government's climate policies are inadequate and will also assess whether to appeal the decision, a spokeswoman for the Climate Protection Ministry said on Friday. The Berlin/Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court ruled in favour of two lawsuits filed by Environmental Action Germany (Deutsche Umwelthilfe, DUH) and ordered the federal government to tighten its measures to combat climate change. The measures planned so far by the coalition government are insufficient to achieve Germany's climate targets by 2030, the co...

Israel on Friday rejected accusations of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, while arguing before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that its military operations in the city of Rafah are self-defence. The case brought by South Africa was a "distortion of reality," the head of Israel's delegation, Gilad Noam, said in the courtroom in the Peace Palace in The Hague. South Africa was abusing international law in a "despicable and cynical manner," according to Noam. At the end of the hearing, one of Israel's legal representatives was interrupted as a woman shouted "Liar" before being led o...

By Charlotte VAN OUWERKERK La Haye (AFP) - L'affaire de "génocide" portée contre Israël, dans laquelle l'Afrique du Sud demande à la plus haute juridiction de l'ONU d'ordonner un cessez-le-feu à Gaza, est "complètement déconnectée" de la réalité, a déclaré Israël vendredi. L'affaire est une "caricature" de la Convention des Nations unies sur le génocide qu'Israël est accusé d'avoir violée, a fustigé un représentant israélien devant la Cour internationale de justice (CIJ), qui siège à La Haye (Pays-Bas). "L'Afrique du Sud présente à la cour pour la quatrième fois un tableau complètement déconne...
