Miami (AFP) - Former US president Donald Trump attended his youngest son's high school graduation on Friday after being granted a break from his criminal hush money trial in New York. Barron Trump, 18, was graduating from Oxbridge Academy in south Florida, and the Republican leader -- who is running for a return to the White House -- was pictured watching proudly alongside third wife Melania and other parents at the private ceremony. The former first lady has doggedly shielded her son from the glare of the media, but he was dragged into the spotlight last month as the ex-president complained t...

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...
