King Charles to be treated for benign prostate condition
LONDON — King Charles III is set to attend hospital next week for treatment for an enlarged prostate.Buckingham Palace said the King's condition is benign but he will undergo a "corrective procedure".The 75 years old's public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation, the Palace said.The announcement comes shortly after it was revealed the Princess of Wales is in hospital after undergoing abdominal surgery.It is unusual for medical updates about two senior royals to be released on the same day, but it is understood it was necessary because the King had to cancel engagements scheduled for Thursday.He had been due to meet foreign dignitaries and Cabinet members in Scotland on Thursday, but those meetings have been canceled on medical grounds.It is...

Large demonstrations are rare in Russia
Russian crowds clash with riot police as activist jailed
MOSCOW — Russian riot police fired tear gas and hit protesters with batons in Bashkortostan on Wednesday after a rights activist was sentenced to four years in a penal colony.Social media footage showed supporters of Fail Alsynov clashing with police -- some throwing snowballs -- near the court in the town of Baymak.Alsynov was jailed for inciting ethnic hatred, which he denies.Large protests in Russia are extremely rare because of the risk of arrest.Some reports say there are a few thousand people at the demonstration, which has been going on for several days in temperatures of around -20C, and there are reports of several injured.Protesters are seen shouting their support for Alsynov, and there are reports that some tried to block the courthouse entrance after the sentence was...

Emmanuel Macron
France's Macron shifts to right on schools and birth rate
PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron has come off the fence and opened the way for policies that are unmistakably on the political right.That is the unanimous verdict after he gave a long, televised press conference on Tuesday evening.He promoted uniforms in schools, a crackdown on drugs gangs, and steps to boost France's declining birth rate.Left-wing commentators deplored his apparent shift from the crafted political balance of recent years.But they said they suspected all along the right was where his heart lay.Commentators on the right said they were delighted by his apparent conversion to their views, but suspected it was all a sham.Macron appeared for two and a half hours before around 100 journalists assembled in the Salle des Fêtes of the Elysée Palace.It was billed as...

The Rwanda policy aims to deter people from crossing the Channel in small boats
Rishi Sunak faces key Rwanda vote after Tory deputy chairmen resign
LONDON — Rishi Sunak is facing a crucial vote on his Rwanda bill, after two Conservative deputy chairmen and a ministerial aide resigned to rebel over the issue.On Tuesday Lee Anderson, Brendan Clarke-Smith and Jane Stevenson stepped down to vote for changes they said would toughen up the legislation.In a blow to the PM's authority, 60 Tory MPs backed rebel amendments.No 10 is confident the bill as a whole will still pass later, but is thought to be preparing to offer concessions.MPs are set to continue debating proposed changes to the legislation — which seeks to deter Channel crossings by reviving the government's plan to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda — in the Commons on Wednesday, with the bill put to a vote afterwards if it remains unamended.If around 30 Tory MPs...

Karim Benzema
Karim Benzema files defamation suit against French interior minister
PARIS — French football star Karim Benzema has filed a defamation lawsuit against France's interior minister for accusing him of having links with the Muslim Brotherhood, local media reports.Gérald Darmanin said in October that Benzema "has a notorious link" with the Islamist group.The comment "undermines" his honor and reputation, Benzema's lawyer said.The Muslim Brotherhood is banned in several countries.Darmanin's comment in October came after the player tweeted his support for the people of Gaza as "victims again of unjust bombardments which spare neither women nor children".Noting his failure to express similar sympathy for the estimated 1,300 Israeli victims that Hamas killed on 7 October, Darmanin said the former French striker was...

As many countries are on the waiting list to join the bloc, European officials talk to Euronews' Sasha Vakulina about corruption, globalization, and the challenge to expand from authoritarian regimes.
EU enlargement on the agenda at the World Economic Forum
DAVOS — The case for the enlargement of the European Union was on the agenda for a Euronews discussion panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos.Several countries such as Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova are on the waiting list to join the bloc. Yet, they must meet a list of criteria before becoming an official member.Institutions that guarantee democracy, the rule of law, and the protection of minorities, a market economy capable of coping with market forces in the bloc, and being able to respect the EU's political, economic, and monetary union aims, are some of the requirements to enter the bloc."Rule of law, anti-corruption, independence of judicial system..We need to talk about this. I think we should now stick to this heart of the European project. Those countries have to...

Poland's public broadcaster has seen a heavy police presence since senior opposition figures staged a sit-in there last week
Poland's leaders caught up in battle for airwaves
WARSAW — Outside Poland's main evening news studio there's a row of police stationed for protection.The entire building of public broadcaster TVP is surrounded by metal barriers and more police officers, shivering in the snow.There is a battle over control of the airwaves here that is dramatic in itself.But it's also part of a much broader power struggle that began when elections last autumn ended eight years of populist rule."It's quite stressful. It's crazy!" TVP news presenter Zbigniew Luczynski admits as he heads past the police to go on air, a bundle of scripts in one hand."But our mission is very important to us: to tell the truth - and be objective."When Donald Tusk ran for election late last year, his coalition promised to restore balance...

French Minister of Education, Sports, and Olympic Games, Amelie Oudea-Caster
French education minister under fire for taking her children to private school
PARIS — Can you be a good education minister and send your children to private schools at the same time?This is the question facing France's newly appointed French Minister of Education, Amélie Oudea-Castera, who, just three days after taking office, is already facing her first controversy.Pressure over her decision to send her children to a private school has overshadowed President Emmanuel Macron's attempt to kick off his second term with a cabinet reshuffle.It all began last Friday when, when asked by the press about her children's schooling, she justified the decision by saying that it was "frustrating" how many hours her son's public school had not replaced when one of his teachers was on leave.The newly appointed minister explained that she and her...
