Le Monde: Barnier's fall puts Macron back in spotlight, but under pressure from his allies
President Emmanuel Macron wrapped up a state visit to Saudi Arabia amid a domestic political crisis, as his government faced a motion of no confidence. Despite the turmoil, Macron remained focused on international matters, discussing cultural and development projects during his return flight.
The government ultimately fell, with Prime Minister Michel Barnier resigning after a significant majority of MPs voted against it. This marks a challenging period for Macron, who now faces increased pressure as he navigates a government without a majority.

GB News: Charlotte Dujardin slapped with lengthy ban after horse whipping scandal that wrecked Olympic hopes
Charlotte Dujardin, a three-time Olympic dressage champion, has received a one-year ban and a fine of £8,886 from the FEI for excessive whip use on a horse. The sanctions follow an investigation into video footage showing her striking a horse, leading to her suspension from all competitions until July 2025.
The ban affects both international and national competitions, as British Equestrian and British Dressage have imposed matching sanctions. Dujardin's suspension comes just before the Paris 2024 Olympics preparations, sidelining one of Britain's top dressage riders for the next 18 months.

Le Monde: Anders Fogh Rasmussen, former NATO secretary general: 'Reversing the European Green Deal would be a geopolitical mistake'
The European Commission's Green Deal, introduced five years ago, aimed to make Europe the first carbon-neutral economy. However, geopolitical challenges, including the pandemic and conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, have pressured European leaders to reconsider their ambitious environmental goals.
European leaders are urged to prioritize climate change as a security issue, as failure to address it could lead to instability and increased humanitarian crises. Transitioning to a carbon-neutral economy could enhance Europe's energy independence, reducing reliance on imports, particularly from Russia.

Times Of Israel: US intel: Hezbollah looking to rebuild after losing half of its weapons stockpiles
Hezbollah has suffered significant military losses to Israel, losing over half its weapons stockpiles and thousands of fighters. Despite this degradation, US intelligence suggests the group is attempting to rebuild its forces and arms through local production and smuggling, posing a continued threat to the US and its allies.
The ongoing ceasefire, brokered by the US, aims to halt cross-border fighting that has displaced tens of thousands in northern Israel. While Israel continues to target Hezbollah's military capabilities, US officials remain concerned about the group's potential to regroup and the implications for regional security.
