Le Monde: Russian and American pressure boost Zelensky's popularity
Vladimir Putin has suggested creating a "temporary government" in Ukraine to facilitate democratic elections, questioning Volodymyr Zelensky's legitimacy. This proposal arises amid ongoing conflict and has met with resistance from both Ukrainian citizens and former President Trump.
Despite widespread opposition to elections during wartime, some Ukrainian political factions are becoming more active, anticipating a potential end to the war. Recent reports indicate that elections could be scheduled if a ceasefire is achieved, though martial law currently prohibits such actions.
Liberty Nation News: Foggy Bottom 2.0: State Department Gets a Face Lift - Liberty Nation News
The Trump administration is planning a significant reorganization of the State Department, aiming to address inefficiencies and perceived hostility towards American interests. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has highlighted the need to eliminate waste and streamline operations, proposing to cut 132 bureaus and reduce staff by 15%.
The restructuring will absorb certain agencies like USAID into the State Department and eliminate positions that are seen as promoting left-wing agendas. This initiative is part of a broader effort to align the department’s functions with pro-American policies and reduce bureaucratic bloat.
Fox News: Multiple federal agencies end LinkedIn contracts over DEI
Multiple federal agencies, including the Departments of Treasury, Interior, and Veterans Affairs, have terminated contracts with LinkedIn due to its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. This follows executive orders from the Trump administration that prohibit federal contracts with companies endorsing DEI initiatives.
The agencies cited compliance with these orders, stating they were cutting ties with LinkedIn to avoid wasteful spending. LinkedIn, which offers various DEI-focused services, claimed that changes in agency contracts are often driven by budget shifts and priorities.

Fox News: Morning Glory: What is Harvard arguing?
Harvard University faces a legal challenge regarding its admissions practices, which have been criticized for racial discrimination and systemic anti-Semitism. The case draws on precedents like Bob Jones University v. U.S., which upheld the revocation of tax-exempt status for institutions engaging in racial discrimination. Harvard's recent admissions practices were deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in June 2023, and the university's response to accusations of anti-Semitism has been seen as insufficient.
The Department of Education has outlined demands for reform at Harvard, highlighting issues such as governance, merit-based admissions, and bias. Critics argue that Harvard's history of discrimination parallels that of Bob Jones University, raising concerns about the university's potential loss of tax-exempt status. This situation underscores the ongoing debate about race in admissions and the implications of legal precedents on higher education institutions.
GB News: Driving licence changes to restrict motorists from carrying passengers could 'save so many lives'
Bereaved mothers in the UK are advocating for stricter driving license regulations to enhance road safety following tragic accidents involving young drivers. They propose a Graduated Driving License system that would restrict new drivers from carrying passengers under 25 for the first six months.
The campaign, led by mothers who lost their children in car crashes, has garnered over 100,000 signatures on a petition delivered to Downing Street. While the Department for Transport has dismissed the idea of a GDL system, they acknowledge the need to address road safety for young drivers.

Le Monde: After Kashmir attack, New Delhi's response sparks fears of escalation between India and Pakistan
In response to a terrorist attack in Kashmir that killed 26 Indian tourists, New Delhi has imposed sanctions on Pakistan, suspending the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty and closing the Attari land crossing. Diplomatic staff reductions and visa cancellations for Pakistani nationals are also part of the measures.
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh accused Pakistan of involvement but has yet to provide evidence linking Islamabad to the attack, despite acknowledging the Pakistani army's historical support for Kashmiri rebels.
Fox News: America needs a Venezuela deal that only President Trump can deliver
President Trump’s approach to Venezuela emphasizes using American strength and smart diplomacy to address the humanitarian and national security crisis posed by Nicolás Maduro's regime. The strategy involves leveraging Venezuela's oil reserves to lower energy costs and counteract Chinese influence while imposing secondary tariffs on nations importing Venezuelan oil.
The proposed policy aims to protect American jobs and interests while compelling the Maduro regime to take responsibility for illegal migration and drug trafficking. By negotiating from a position of strength, Trump seeks to create a strategic deal that benefits the U.S. and curbs foreign adversaries' power in the region.

Le Monde: Nestlé under pressure from mineral water scandal
Further contaminations at the Perrier production site in France have sparked a scandal for Nestlé, although it has had minimal impact on the company's overall financial performance. In the first quarter of 2025, Nestlé reported a 2.3% sales increase to 22.6 billion Swiss francs.
The water segment, while the smallest for Nestlé, still saw a 3.9% growth, contributing 3.2 billion Swiss francs in 2024. Despite lower operating margins compared to the overall group, brands like Perrier, San Pellegrino, and Vittel remain significant.
Fox News: The EU wants to control American businesses. This new bill might be the only thing that can stop it
The European Union's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) threatens U.S. businesses by imposing strict environmental, social, and governance mandates on companies operating in the EU, regardless of their headquarters. This could lead to significant penalties and legal challenges for American firms, impacting even small suppliers.
Senator Bill Hagerty's PROTECT USA Act aims to counter this overreach by prohibiting U.S. entities vital to national interests from complying with foreign sustainability regulations. The bill would empower the president to protect American companies from adverse actions related to the CSDDD, ensuring that the U.S. retains control over its economic policies.
