Paris stock market climbs despite government collapse
The Paris stock market opened higher as President Emmanuel Macron navigates a political crisis following the ousting of Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government. The CAC 40 index rose 0.4%, with analysts warning that further instability could lead to market jitters.

The unprecedented no-confidence vote in the Assemblée Nationale, supported by both the far left and right, has deepened uncertainty in France. Macron faces the challenge of selecting a new leader with more than two years left in his presidency.


Times Of Israel: US Jews favored Harris over Trump, but Democrats’ edge smaller than in 2020 – analyses
US Jews favored Harris over Trump, but Democrats’ edge smaller than in 2020 – analyses
Jewish voters largely supported Kamala Harris in the recent election, with estimates showing between 63% to 71% backing her, although Donald Trump gained a higher percentage of the Jewish vote compared to 2020. This shift may reflect concerns over Israel-related issues and a broader trend of traditionally Democratic groups leaning towards Trump.

Despite Harris's substantial support, the margin of victory among Jewish voters has decreased since 2020, indicating a potential erosion of Democratic dominance in this demographic. Polls suggest that while Harris remains favored, Trump's appeal is growing, particularly among certain segments of the Jewish population.

A Reddit post featuring a photo of a man placing his foot in front of a female passenger on an airplane has ignited a debate about "manspreading." The discussion, which took place on the r/americanairlines forum, questioned whether the man's actions were intrusive and how to address such situations.

While some users defended the man, claiming inconsiderate behavior is not exclusive to men, others emphasized the need for passengers to assert their space. Etiquette experts suggest addressing the issue directly with the offender rather than resorting to social media complaints.

Radakin emphasizes the need for Britain to assess these threats realistically, noting that while a direct attack from Russia is unlikely, the instability in global affairs is impacting the UK through cyber threats and economic challenges. He highlights the importance of the UK’s nuclear capabilities in maintaining stability against these rising threats.

New brain therapy allows paralyzed patients to walk again: 'I feel my legs'
New research from Switzerland indicates that paralyzed patients may regain movement through deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the lateral hypothalamus. Two participants with spinal cord injuries demonstrated the ability to walk and climb stairs after receiving the therapy, suggesting significant potential for recovery.

While the results are promising, researchers caution that this approach is still in early stages and may only benefit those with incomplete spinal injuries. Further studies are necessary to assess safety and efficacy before widespread application.
