France fails to tackle growing gang problem
MARSEILLE — In the 13th arrondissement of Marseille, one of the quartiers nord (northern neighbourhoods) of the city, a professor walks toward the high school where she runs a geography program. She pauses briefly, pointing down the road.“When Macron visited, that’s where he went,” she said, looking at another school nearby. She rolled her eyes and shook her head, looking around at the students. “They know it’s just politics, everyone knows.”The quartiers nord of Marseille have been a point of political discourse for decades.In recent weeks, gang violence has been flaring up around France. On September 29, two men were killed in a drive-by shooting in front of a pharmacy in the 4th arrondissement. In early September, a 24-year old student was studying for an exam in her...

LONDON — Rishi Sunak will announce the scrapping of the HS2 high-speed rail line from the West Midlands to Manchester on Wednesday, the BBC understands.In his Conservative Party Conference speech, the PM is expected to set out a range of alternative projects in the north of England and Wales.He is likely to argue these projects will be better value for money and can be delivered more quickly.It comes after weeks of speculation about the future of the line.Rumors it could be scrapped have already prompted anger among local leaders and businesses.Labour Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said ditching the link to his city would be a "permanent statement" to people in the North that they were ''second-class citizens' when it came to transport.The Conservative West Midlands...

MADRID — A small boat carrying 280 migrants has landed in Spain's Canary Islands.The vessel arrived on the remote island of El Hierro, some 380km (238 miles) off Africa's western coast, on Tuesday.Rescue workers said those onboard were of sub-Saharan African origin and it was the largest number of migrants ever to arrive in the archipelago in one go.The crossing to the Canary Islands is one of the most commonly used and dangerous routes to Europe for migrants from Africa."I've never seen a boat with so many people on board," journalist and former migration adviser Txema Santana said on social media after the vessel arrived.Since the start of the year, 140 people have died or disappeared trying to make the crossing, according to the International Organization for...

Ukraine’s Western allies say they are running out of ammunition
WARSAW — Western military powers are running out of ammunition to give Ukraine to defend itself against Russia’s full-scale invasion, the UK and NATO have warned.Adm. Rob Bauer, NATO ‘s most senior military official, told the Warsaw Security Forum that “the bottom of the barrel is now visible”.He said governments and defense manufacturers now had to “ramp up production in a much higher tempo”.Ukraine fires thousands of shells every day and most now come from NATO.The admiral, who chairs NATO’s Military Committee, said decades of underinvestment meant NATO countries had begun supplying Ukraine with weapons with their ammunition warehouse already half-full or even emptier.“We need large volumes. The just-in-time, just-enough economy we built together in 30 years in our...

Bed bugs — shown here on a display screen at a Marseille hospital — are spreading across France.
Bedbug panic sweeps Paris as infestations soar before 2024 Olympics
PARIS — A plague of bedbugs has hit Paris and other French cities, provoking a wave of insectophobia and raising questions about health and safety during next year’s Olympic Games.That’s broadly how the phenomenon has been described in the French —and now international — news media.In part it is true. But in another part it isn’t.What is the case is that the number of bedbug sightings has increased over the last weeks — and that that upward trend goes back several years.“Every late summer we see a big increase in bedbugs,” said Jean-Michel Berenger, an entomologist at Marseille’s main hospital and France’s leading expert on les punaises.“That is because people have been moving about over July and August, and they bring them back in their luggage. “And each year,...

Karabakh: Humanitarians respond to growing health needs
GENEVA — The humanitarian response to the Karabakh crisis continued apace on Tuesday as UN agencies and partners warned of urgent health needs among the more than 100,000 refugees who have entered Armenia.Concerns also remain for those unable to leave the Karabakh Region town of Khankendi – known as Stepanakert among Armenians – which the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said was close to empty.Its priority remains finding those too vulnerable to help themselves.“The city is now completely deserted. The hospitals, more than one, are not functioning,” said Marco Succi, ICRC head of rapid deployment.“The medical personnel have left. The water board authorities left. The director of the morgue...the stakeholders we were working with before, have also left. This...

Ukraine accused of firing cluster bombs at Russian village
KYIV — The governor of Russia's Bryansk region has alleged Ukraine used cluster munitions on a Russian village near the Ukrainian border, hitting several houses.No casualties were reported in Klimovo, wrote Governor Alexander Bogomaz on Telegram.Kyiv has not commented on this accusation.Euronews cannot independently verify the Russian official's claim, which were made without photo or video evidence.Washington controversially supplied Kyiv with cluster bombs in July -- which was blasted as a "terrible mistake" by politicians and rights groups.Cluster munitions are banned under an international treaty, signed by more than 120 countries.Like a shotgun, they splatter explosive submunitions over an area as big as several football fields. These can then lie dormant like...

Threats force 1 in 4 Dutch politicians to seek protection
AMSTERDAM — After becoming the first female finance minister in the Netherlands’ history, Sigrid Kaag is leaving politics.Over the past 20 months, the country's current deputy prime minister has received many death threats, but the most frightening moment came last January when a man called Max van den B. turned up at her home shouting and waving a burning torch.Her family, including her young children, were in the house while the man live-streamed the incident on social media.Kaag is not the only politician in the country to have suffered the wrath of voters, particularly on social media, with dozens of MPs facing similar situations.According to the Dutch investigative program Zembla, at least 41 MPs -- more than a quarter of the 150 members of parliament -- live with some form of...
