French President Emmanuel Macron unveiled a €3 billion plan to rebuild Mayotte, ravaged by a cyclone that caused €3.5 billion in damage and killed 40. The initiative aims to reconstruct the area, tackle illegal immigration, and bolster the local economy over six years.

Local leaders raised alarms about persistent issues like water shortages and disease. Macron promised a vaccination campaign against chikungunya and emphasized the need for enhanced healthcare and infrastructure.

In Britain, political commentator Will Kingston criticized police for their reluctance to confront "Islamic fundamentalists" at pro-Palestine rallies. He claimed this creates an imbalance in law enforcement, especially during a rally in Essex that coincided with Passover, where required notices were not given.

Critics of Essex Police accused them of "two-tier policing," allowing the protest while restricting Jewish worshippers, stirring debate on managing protests in diverse communities amid rising tensions.
