Workers gather next wooden pallets on fire at the Gare de Lyon train station during a protest called by major trade unions to oppose budget cuts, in Paris, 18 September 2025
France wakes up to widespread protests and strikes against budget cuts
PARIS – France wakes up to another day of nationwide disruption on Thursday as hundreds of thousands of people are expected to join strikes and demonstrations against the government’s new austerity measures.Eight major trade unions have called on citizens to take to the streets around the country against what they describe as “brutal” budget plans announced over the summer.The collapse of François Bayrou’s government last week has not deterred union leaders, who maintain their call for mobilisation.Authorities are bracing for one of the largest demonstrations since the pension reform protests two years ago. Intelligence services estimate between 600,000 and 900,000 people could take part nationwide, including up to 100,000 in Paris.By 11 am, authorities had already counted more...

India's opposition leader says poll panel shielding 'vote thieves'
DELHI – Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has launched a fresh attack on the country's election panel, accusing its chief Gyanesh Kumar of "protecting those murdering democracy".Gandhi told a press conference on Thursday that names of voters had been selectively deleted from or added to electoral rolls to help the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) win key state elections.He said his allegations of rigging were backed by "100% proof" and that the poll panel had not taken action despite repeated complaints from his Congress party.The Election Commission of India (ECI) called the allegations "incorrect and baseless". The BJP also rejected the claims.The latest claims are part of a series of accusations of "vote theft" that Gandhi has made...

Lula said if the 6 January 2021 Capitol riot had happened in Brazil rather than in the US, Trump would have been put on trial
I have no relationship with Trump, Brazil's Lula says
BRASILIA – Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has told the BBC in an exclusive interview that he has "no relationship" with US President Donald Trump.Lula has frequently criticised Trump, but this is the clearest signal yet that he thinks communication between him and his US counterpart is now broken.Even though the US has a trade surplus with Brazil, Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods in July, citing the trial on coup charges of Brazil's right-wing former president Jair Bolsonaro as a trigger.Lula described the tariffs as "eminently political" and said US consumers would be facing higher prices for Brazilian goods as a result.The tariffs imposed by Trump have hit Brazilian exports to the US, like coffee and beef, which Lula said...

A firefighter plane drops water on a recent wildfire
Spain counts the cost of 'nightmare' wildfire summer
MADRID – José Antonio Bruña, a honey producer, is standing on a hillside where he keeps his beehives near the small Spanish village of Porto de Sanabria.He points to the exact spot, a few hundred metres away on the mountain opposite, where lightning struck a few weeks earlier, igniting a wildfire that had disastrous consequences."This August has been a nightmare for me personally, but also for the local farmers and everyone here in the village," he says. "I'm 47 and I've never seen a fire that fierce."It ended up burning more than 20,000 hectares (49,000 acres) of land and causing thousands of people to be evacuated from villages in this farming-heavy corner of north-western Spain, near the Portuguese border.But it was just one of several vast blazes which...

TEL AVIV — Israel's culture minister has threatened to axe funding for the country's national film awards after The Sea, a story about a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, won its top award.The film, which follows a boy from the occupied West Bank who wants to travel to Tel Aviv to see the sea for the first time, won best film at the Ophir Awards — Israel's equivalent of the Oscars.In a statement on X, Miki Zohar said: "There is no greater slap in the face of Israeli citizens than the embarrassing and detached annual Ophir Awards ceremony."As winner of the best film category at the Ophir awards, The Sea now becomes Israel's entry to the international film category at next year's Oscars.It is not yet clear whether Zohar has the authority to defund the awards,...
